We know four plants as the “four junzi” in Chinese culture. We can find them in Chinese art like paintings and poems (诗). The plum blossoms (梅花) are famous for coming out in the dead of winter. People like them because they stay strong even in difficult times. Artists started to paint plum blossoms 1,600 years ago. The orchid (兰花) grows in mountains. People name it one of China’s “Ten Famous Flowers”. It is a symbol of elegance (优雅) because it looks nice and soft in the wind. The bamboo is thin but strong. It’s a symbol of tolerance (耐力) and open-mindedness (豁达). Su Shi once wrote down “Rather eat without meat than live without the bamboo” in his poem to show his love for the bamboo. Chinese people began growing chrysanthemums (菊花) more than 3,000 years ago. It stands for the strength to get over life’s challenges. So people in China like chrysanthemums very much. 26．Why do people like the plum blossoms? A．Because they have beautiful shapes. B．Because they stand for elegance. C．Because they get over life’s challenges. D．Because they stay strong in difficult times. 27．Which of the following is TRUE about the orchid? A．It grows in deserts. B．It is a symbol of strength. C．It is one of China’s “Ten Famous Flowers”. D．It is nice and strong in the wind. 28．What does the bamboo stand for according to the passage? a. Tolerance.    b. Open-mindedness.    c. Elegance.    d. Strength. A．a, b B．a, c C．b, d D．c, d 29．When did people first plant the chrysanthemums? A．Less than 1,600 years ago. B．More than 3,300 years ago. C．More than 3,000 years ago. D．Less than 1,000 years ago. 30．In which part of the newspaper can we probably read this passage? A．Fashion. B．Sports. C．Culture. D．Health. B It is 7:00 a.m. at the Siberian Tiger (东北虎) Park in China. The keepers are getting meat ready for the tigers’ breakfast. By 7:30 a.m., the tigers are awake and hungry. They walk around their space and make loud sounds. When they see the keepers, they come close, some even standing up to reach for their food. Li Ming, a tiger keeper, says, “They are strong and beautiful. I take care of them every day. I wash their cages, feed them, and watch how they act. Each tiger is different. They are very special to me.” Siberian tigers are big cats with orange fur and black stripes. They are a symbol of power and nature. But now, they are in danger. Scientists think fewer than 600 wild Siberian tigers live in the world, mostly in Russia (俄罗斯) and China. About 200 more live in zoos. Why are they in danger?   ● Less forest: People cut down trees for wood and farms, so tigers have less space. ● Illegal (非法的) Hunting: Some people kill tigers for their fur and bones. ● Not enough food: Tigers eat deer and small animals like rabbits, but these animals are also disappearing. ● Tigers do not have many babies. A mother tiger usually has 2 or 3 cubs (幼崽) every 2-3 years. Many cubs die young. Adult tigers need a lot of space to find food, but forests are getting smaller. At the Siberian Tiger Park, workers help tigers have babies and study them. Schools teach kids about tiger protection. The government and other groups are working hard to save these amazing animals. If we keep helping, maybe one day there will be more tigers in the wild again. 31．What time do the Siberian tigers at the park usually wake up? A．6:30 a.m. B．7:00 p.m. C．7:15 a.m. D．7:30 a.m. 32．How many Siberian tigers live in the wild? A．About 200. B．More than 600. C．Fewer than 600. D．We don’t know. 33．What does tiger keeper Li Ming do every day? A．Clean the tigers’ house carefully. B．Play with the tigers and keep them strong. C．Sell tigers’ bones to the hunters. D．Play with the baby tiger. 34．Which of the following is NOT a reason Siberian tigers are endangered? A．The forests are getting smaller. B．The hunters may kill them for money. C．Tigers have enough food to eat. D．Tigers do not have many babies. 35．Which do you think is a good way to help Siberian tigers? A．People can cut down more trees for wood and farms. B．Workers help tigers have babies and study them in the park. C．Hunting deer and small animals for tigers. D．Killing more tigers for their fur and bones. C Can animals communicate? They cannot use words as humans do, but many animals have their own special ways to communicate.     If your dog is pleased, he puts back his ears, waves his tail, and seems to smile. But if he gets angry, he growls (咆哮), shows his teeth, and the hair on his back and neck stands up. He walks slowly and tries to look strong. That’s how he says, “I’m upset, and I might bite you. “     When a hen sees a dog coming near her chicks, she waves her wings, raises her tail, and rushes to the dog. This is her way of saying “Be off, or I will bite you. “ If she sees a hawk (鹰), she makes a strange noise, and her chicks at once run away and hide themselves. They understand their mother to say “Quick, run away, dears! There is danger near.” When she finds some nice food, she makes another kind of noise. The chicks know quite well what it means, and run at once to share the food their mother has found for them.     How does a cat show she is happy? She makes a soft rumbling sound (呼噜声)—that’s her way of saying, “I feel good.” When she is unhappy, hungry, or in pain, she lets out a short cry. If she is angry, she raises her back and moves her tail (尾巴) side to side. And if someone treats her in a way she doesn’t like, her tail stands straight up, and she just walks away.     In these ways, animals can make their feelings clear to one another—not with words, but through actions and sounds, just like humans do with language. 36．What does a dog NOT do when he gets angry? A．Wave his tail and put back his ears. B．Make the hair on his back stand up. C．Walk slowly and try to look strong. D．Growl and show his teeth. 37．What will a hen do when she sees a hawk? A．Wave her wings. B．Rush to the hawk. C．Make a strange noise. D．Hide herself at once. 38．Which picture can show that the cat is happy? A． B． C． D． 39．What can we learn from the passage? A．Dogs are likely to bite people. B．Hens can’t get along well with dogs. C．People always treat cats kindly. D．Animals show their feelings in different ways. 40．Why does the writer write this passage? A．To compare different communication ways. B．To show how animals communicate. C．To ask people to protect animals. D．To tell funny stories about animals. 四、选词填空（10分） 请从方框内选择适当的词并用其正确形式填空，使文章完整连贯。注意每空一词，每词仅用一次。 protect  in  happy  look  and  relax  plant  clean  imagine  community Plants and animals are important to us. 41 a world without them. It would be very disappointing. Plants make our air 42 and our environment lively. Animals bring us joy and teach us to be kind.

Actually, we can learn a lot from them. 五、任务型阅读（10分） 阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题 (No more than 8 words) Do you think of white when someone talks about a polar bear (北极熊)? In fact, the polar bear does not have white fur. It just looks white. Polar bears have a very good sense of smell. It helps them to find food. During summer, polar bears sleep longer because they are able to find their food more easily at night. Usually, after a meal, polar bears have a short sleep. A polar bear can have 2-3 babies at a time. They live with their mothers until they are about 2.5 years old. However, polar bears will die out soon because of people. There are only 20,000 to 25,000 polar bears in the world. The ones that are left are trying to survive (生存) today. The number of the polar bears is becoming smaller and smaller because of the loss of sea ice-polar bears mostly inhabit (居住于) the sea ice, not the land ice. This is happening because of global warming (全球气候变暖), pollution (污染), hunting and so on. Ordinary (普通的) people don’t care, but great people have the power and want to save tigers, fight for giant pandas and save polar bears. Ordinary people will wait, but great people will find a new world. For me, I will not wait. I will take the bus more often from now on. Join me and save the polar bears, and, of course, the tigers, the giant pandas and other wild animals. 51．What helps polar bears to find food?    52．Do polar bears sleep longer during summer or during winter? 53．Why will polar bears die out soon?    54．Are there fewer and fewer polar bears? 55．How does the writer help wild animals? 六、短文填空（10分） Bees are very hard-working animals, and their greatest work is pollination. On one trip, they often visit 50 to 100 flowers. As they fly from one flower 56 another, they take pollen with them. This action helps plants grow. In fact, without 57 (they) work, about 80 percent of the plants in the world cannot grow. For this reason, many people believe that bees are the most important animals on this planet. Bees are also one of the 58 (interest) animals in the world. For example, they work hard together to make their homes. In order to 59 (store) honey, they create honeycombs. Another interesting thing about bees is how they communicate. When a bee 60 (find) new food, it uses a dance 61 (tell) the others where and how far away the food is. Bees play 62 important part in the ecosystem of our planet. 63 , the number of bees 64 (be) dropping, and 65 (science) are worried. They need our help, and there is a lot we can do. Think about what you can do to protect one of the most amazing animals on earth. 七、书面表达（15分） 野生动物是人类社会和大自然不可分割的重要部分，保护野生动物就是保护我们人类自己。中国野生动物保护协会(CWCA)是一个具有广泛代表性的野生动物保护组织。 近日，CWCA准备招募一批新成员。为此，协会工作人员正在筹划一封邀请信。假如你是协会工作人员，请你根据以下内容，以协会的立场，写一封邀请信。信的开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 要求：1. 必须包含Facts与Ways所有要点，90词左右； 2. 省略处进行1～2句适当发挥，要求合情合理。 中国野生动物保护协会(China Wildlife Conservation Association) “爱鸟周”The Bird-loving Week Facts: 1. 一些珍稀鸟类正面临严峻的问题 2. 过多的建筑导致生存空间减少 3. 人类为了它们的肉和羽毛猎杀它们，成为菜肴 Ways: 1. 建议政府立法 2. 请更多人数鸟 “熊猫保护月”The Panda Protection Month Facts: 1. 出生时很小 2. 主要以竹子为生 3. 生宝宝不容易，很难在野外生存 Ways: 1. 募集资金 2. 帮助建立自然保护区 3. ……（1～2句适当发挥） Dear everyone, As we all know, protecting wildlife is protecting ourselves.

We know four plants as the “four junzi” in Chinese culture. We can find them in Chinese art like paintings and poems (诗). The plum blossoms (梅花) are famous for coming out in the dead of winter.

D．Health. 【答案】26．D 27．C 28．A 29．C 30．C 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国传统文化中的梅、兰、竹、菊四种植物，分别阐述了它们各自的生长特点与文化象征意义。 26．根据文中“They stay strong even in difficult times.”可知，梅花在逆境中依然坚韧顽强，这是人们喜爱梅花的原因。 27．根据文中“People name it one of China’s ‘Ten Famous Flowers’.”可知，兰花是中国十大名花之一，其余选项均与原文内容不符。 28．根据文中“It’s a symbol of tolerance and open‑mindedness.”可知，竹子代表耐力与豁达，对应a、b两项内容。 29．根据文中“Chinese people began growing chrysanthemums more than 3,000 years ago.”可知，三千多年前中国人就开始种植菊花。 30．本文主要介绍梅兰竹菊的文化内涵，属于文化类题材，由此可推断该文章最可能出现在报纸的文化板块。 B It is 7:00 a.m. at the Siberian Tiger (东北虎) Park in China. The keepers are getting meat ready for the tigers’ breakfast. By 7:30 a.m., the tigers are awake and hungry. They walk around their space and make loud sounds. When they see the keepers, they come close, some even standing up to reach for their food. Li Ming, a tiger keeper, says, “They are strong and beautiful. I take care of them every day. I wash their cages, feed them, and watch how they act. Each tiger is different. They are very special to me.” Siberian tigers are big cats with orange fur and black stripes. They are a symbol of power and nature. But now, they are in danger. Scientists think fewer than 600 wild Siberian tigers live in the world, mostly in Russia (俄罗斯) and China. About 200 more live in zoos. Why are they in danger?   ● Less forest: People cut down trees for wood and farms, so tigers have less space. ● Illegal (非法的) Hunting: Some people kill tigers for their fur and bones. ● Not enough food: Tigers eat deer and small animals like rabbits, but these animals are also disappearing. ● Tigers do not have many babies. A mother tiger usually has 2 or 3 cubs (幼崽) every 2-3 years. Many cubs die young. Adult tigers need a lot of space to find food, but forests are getting smaller. At the Siberian Tiger Park, workers help tigers have babies and study them. Schools teach kids about tiger protection. The government and other groups are working hard to save these amazing animals. If we keep helping, maybe one day there will be more tigers in the wild again. 31．What time do the Siberian tigers at the park usually wake up? A．6:30 a.m. B．7:00 p.m. C．7:15 a.m. D．7:30 a.m. 32．How many Siberian tigers live in the wild? A．About 200. B．More than 600. C．Fewer than 600. D．We don’t know. 33．What does tiger keeper Li Ming do every day? A．Clean the tigers’ house carefully. B．Play with the tigers and keep them strong. C．Sell tigers’ bones to the hunters. D．Play with the baby tiger. 34．Which of the following is NOT a reason Siberian tigers are endangered? A．The forests are getting smaller. B．The hunters may kill them for money. C．Tigers have enough food to eat. D．Tigers do not have many babies. 35．Which do you think is a good way to help Siberian tigers? A．People can cut down more trees for wood and farms. B．Workers help tigers have babies and study them in the park. C．Hunting deer and small animals for tigers. D．Killing more tigers for their fur and bones. 【答案】31．D 32．C 33．A 34．C 35．B 【解析】本文介绍了东北虎园内老虎的日常作息，介绍了东北虎的外形、野外生存濒危现状，剖析了种群濒危的四大原因，同时列举了园区、学校、政府层面开展的各类保护举措。 31．依据原文第一段句子By 7:30 a.m., the tigers are awake and hungry.，园区里的东北虎通常在早上7:30醒来。 32．依据原文第三段句子Scientists think fewer than 600 wild Siberian tigers live in the world, mostly in Russia and China.，野外现存东北虎数量不足600只。 33．依据原文第二段饲养员李明的原话I wash their cages, feed them, and watch how they act.，日常工作包含清扫虎笼、投喂食物、观察行为，A选项“仔细清理老虎居所”与原文洗笼子内容一致。 34．原文四个濒危原因：森林面积缩减、非法偷猎、猎物不足、繁育率低；C选项“老虎有充足食物可以捕食”和原文Not enough food相悖，不属于濒危原因，题目要求选出NOT（不是）的一项。 35．依据原文最后一段At the Siberian Tiger Park, workers help tigers have babies and study them.，园区工作人员协助老虎繁育、开展科研调研，是切实有效的保护方式，对应B选项；其余三项均会加剧东北虎危机。 C Can animals communicate? They cannot use words as humans do, but many animals have their own special ways to communicate.     If your dog is pleased, he puts back his ears, waves his tail, and seems to smile. But if he gets angry, he growls (咆哮), shows his teeth, and the hair on his back and neck stands up. He walks slowly and tries to look strong. That’s how he says, “I’m upset, and I might bite you. “     When a hen sees a dog coming near her chicks, she waves her wings, raises her tail, and rushes to the dog. This is her way of saying “Be off, or I will bite you. “ If she sees a hawk (鹰), she makes a strange noise, and her chicks at once run away and hide themselves. They understand their mother to say “Quick, run away, dears! There is danger near.” When she finds some nice food, she makes another kind of noise. The chicks know quite well what it means, and run at once to share the food their mother has found for them.     How does a cat show she is happy? She makes a soft rumbling sound (呼噜声)—that’s her way of saying, “I feel good.” When she is unhappy, hungry, or in pain, she lets out a short cry. If she is angry, she raises her back and moves her tail (尾巴) side to side. And if someone treats her in a way she doesn’t like, her tail stands straight up, and she just walks away.     In these ways, animals can make their feelings clear to one another—not with words, but through actions and sounds, just like humans do with language. 36．What does a dog NOT do when he gets angry? A．Wave his tail and put back his ears. B．Make the hair on his back stand up. C．Walk slowly and try to look strong. D．Growl and show his teeth. 37．What will a hen do when she sees a hawk? A．Wave her wings. B．Rush to the hawk. C．Make a strange noise. D．Hide herself at once. 38．Which picture can show that the cat is happy? A． B． C． D． 39．What can we learn from the passage? A．Dogs are likely to bite people. B．Hens can’t get along well with dogs. C．People always treat cats kindly. D．Animals show their feelings in different ways. 40．Why does the writer write this passage? A．To compare different communication ways. B．To show how animals communicate. C．To ask people to protect animals. D．To tell funny stories about animals. 【答案】36．A 37．C 38．D 39．D 40．B 【解析】本文主要介绍了动物虽然不能像人类一样使用语言，但它们有各自特殊的交流方式， 36．根据第二段“If your dog is pleased, he puts back his ears, waves his tail, and seems to smile. But if he gets angry, he growls (咆哮), shows his teeth, and the hair on his back and neck stands up. He walks slowly and tries to look strong.”可知，狗高兴时会把耳朵往后放、摇尾巴，生气时会咆哮、露出牙齿、背上和脖子上的毛竖起来、慢慢地走并试图看起来很强壮。所以摇尾巴和把耳朵往后放不是狗生气时做的事，而是高兴时做的事。 37．根据第三段“If she sees a hawk (鹰), she makes a strange noise, and her chicks at once run away and hide themselves.”可知，母鸡看到鹰时会发出奇怪的声音。 38．第四段“How does a cat show she is happy? She makes a soft rumbling sound (呼噜声)... ”，通常猫安静趴着时可能会发出呼噜声表现出开心，D选项中猫安静趴着，比较符合猫开心的状态。 39．根据第五段“In these ways, animals can make their feelings clear to one another—not with words, but through actions and sounds, just like humans do with language.”可知，从这篇文章中我们可以学到动物以不同的方式表达自己的感受。 40．文章开篇提出“Can animals communicate? They cannot use words as humans do, but many animals have their own special ways to communicate.”，然后通过列举狗、母鸡、猫等动物的交流方式，可知作者写这篇文章是为了展示动物是如何交流的。 四、选词填空（10分） 请从方框内选择适当的词并用其正确形式填空，使文章完整连贯。注意每空一词，每词仅用一次。 protect  in  happy  look  and  relax  plant  clean  imagine  community Plants and animals are important to us. 41 a world without them.
