C
It is easy to be worried about the future of our
planet.Forests are disappearing.Water cycles are
breaking down.Pollution is harming cities.But I am still
a little bit hopeful about our planet's future.
Nature is making a comeback in many placcs.Even
in the worst landscapes,nature is deyeloping and
regaining its own land.Wolves are moving across Europe and there are more tigers in India.
I am not saying we should stop worrying about losing biodiversity(生物多样性),but the
good news is that nature isn't so fragile.And in many parts of the world,we are giving it
more room to do its thing.For example,farmers are returning land to nature in some areas.
The population is getting smaller..We used to think a continuing baby boom(生育高峰)
was a danger to the planet.But today,couples are having half as many children as half a
century ago.In fact,the fear in much of the world is that the population is becoming smaller.
Our modern world depends less on materials.This century,the UK's consumption
of materials has fallen from 16 tonnes a year per head to 11 tonnes.Why?We make
much more with less by using modern ways of producing goods.And today's wealthy people
spend less money on materials and more on lifestyle experiences:eating out,taking
exercise,attending concerts and so on.
I agree that the worst could still happen.To avoid it,we have no choice but to act.And
that means staying positive.
18.How docs the writer explain people's worrics about the planct in paragraph 1?
A.By telling storics.
B.By describing facts,
C.By offering advice.
D.By comparing idcas.
19.What does the underlined word "fragile"probably mean in paragraph 2?
A.Active.
B.Light.
C.Weak.
D.Quiet.
20.According to the passage,today's wealthy people may spend more money
A.doing sports B.buying clothes
C.producing goods D.holding concerts
21.What is the passage mainly about?
A.How we can protect our future planct.
B.How we can control population growth.
C.Why we should reduce the use of materials.
D.Why we should stay hopeful about the earth.

the hard part.The goats (have performed their duties,

ready."I was worried,for the sky was growing brighter,and
it would be more difficult for the goats to hide the Bison from
humans as they went down the hill.

She was still looking at the morning sea,whieh had grown brighter and whiter.She
turned to me then."Thank you,Johannes."She turned to the goats."We are so thankful.
We have lived quiet lives.But you have freed our eyes and our minds.What you did today
mattered a great deal.You gave us the sea.And we will not forget it."
I tricd to organize my thoughts.Was all this for nothing?And would we all have to go
back to the park?I stood on the top of that small mountain,wondering what to do.
Then one of the goats said to me,"You could come with us.We will protect you,and
when you reach the mainland,you can stay with us,or simply run free.There are a million
free dogs like you.You can run with them and sce places and things."
I thought about this.I knew it was true.I knew I would go.

We use language for all kinds of reasons,but the major one is to talk to each other.We
use it to have a chat,play a game,tell jokes,ask for help,and do a thousand other things.
26 The everyday use of language is to have conversations with each other.
Having a conversation seems like the most natural thing in the world.We don't think
twice about it now.But it wasn't always that way.We had to learn how to do it.27

and then you do and then I do and then you do.28 In an argument,we do sometimes
hear a lot of people speaking tog(ther.But once the argument ends,everyone takes turns
again.
This is cspccially important if therc arc several pcople taking part in a conversation.
Imagine:you're in the street talking to three other people about the latest film Dear You.
29 If it's going to be a successful conversation,then all four of you need to get the
chance to have your say.If that happens,everyone's happy.If that doesn't happen,you can
end up feeling quite mad.
30 We have to learn how to do it.And babies start that learning process (
very early on,during the first year of life.They hear their mother talking...they coo or
babble...the mother replies...they coo or babble again...the mother replies again.Listen-
speak-listen-speak-listen.That's the key of any conversation.We have to learn to be
listeners as well as speakers.
A.We had to learn rules.
B.We don't speak at the same time.
C.Some people are always cutting in.
D.Turn-taking doesn't come naturally.
E.Everyone has got something to say about it.

请认真阅读下面短文,用英语回答短文后的问题,并将答案写在答题卡标有题号的横线上。
Sometimes,students may have back or neck pain after class.Their pain might be a
result of chairs too low for their height.When they sit uncomfortably for too long,they may
get tired during classes.And this makes it difficult for them to take an active part in learning
activities.
One way to solve this problem is to adjust (the height of their chairs.Adjustable
chairs are designed to help students sit straight with their feet flat (on the floor and
their knees at a 90-degree angle ()Each student can choose their own chair height to fit
their body and desk height.Proper chair height can help students reduce pain on the neck,
shoulders,and lower back.
Students spend hours sitting on their chairs every day.The chair becomes a silent
partner in their development.The right chair allows students to focus better.But some
students prefer to sit at a lower height than normal.This is not good for their health as well
as their study.They need to know that a balanced sitting position can make a big difference.
54.What may happen if students sit uncomfortably for too long?
