D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述作者在迎新会上通过气球游戏，引导学生明白成功不必以牺牲他人为代价，每个人都可以获得成功的故事。 【16题详解】 句意：我们把桌子移开，为堆积如山的蓝色气球腾出一大片空地。 后文提到“每个学生拿一个气球”，整篇文章都在描述气球活动，说明场地是为“气球”准备的，balloons“气球”，符合语境。 【17题详解】 句意：如果你的气球在接下来一分钟内幸存下来，你就会得到奖品。 后文说“大家的气球都爆了”，说明规则是气球要“幸存”才能赢，survives“幸存”，符合语境。 【18题详解】 句意：一些孩子躲在桌子底下，而另一些则跳到桌子上。 前后描述两种不同的行为，形成对比，while“而/然而”，符合语境。 【19题详解】 句意：即使是那些一开始看起来很害羞的孩子，也很快开始开心地戳破别人的气球。 本句“即使是……也很快开始戳气球”，说明一开始他们可能是“害羞的”不敢参与，shy“害羞的”，符合语境。 【20题详解】 句意：当孩子们围成一个圈时，他们四处寻找幸存的气球，寻找获胜者。 空后提到“一个幸存的气球”，主语是“他们”，匹配的动作应是“寻找”。search for“寻找”，符合语境。 【21题详解】 句意：没有人赢。每个人的气球都爆了。 上文提到气球没爆的人是赢家，这里提到每个人的气球都爆了，说明没有人“赢”。won“赢”，符合语境。 【22题详解】 句意：她花了一分钟躲在桌子底下，试图保护她的气球，但失败了。 她躲起来是为了“保护”自己的气球不被戳破，protect“保护”，符合语境。 【23题详解】 句意：“如果没有人有气球，也许赢家可以是戳破最多气球的人，”一个男孩提议道，他戳破了很多气球。 发出提议的男孩戳破了很多气球，下文另一个男孩说“戳破了七个”，说明这里的提议应是戳破气球“最多”的那个人是赢家。the most“最多的”，符合语境。 【24题详解】 句意：其他几个人开始分享他们自己记录的成绩。 看到别人报数，其他人也“分享”自己的成绩，share“分享”，符合语境。 【25题详解】 句意：“我们从未说过你必须戳破别人的气球才能赢，”Rodriguez先生平静地说。 后文“What? That is...”说明学生们对这个说法感到意外，因为规则中“从未”提过要戳破别人的气球，never“从未”，符合语境。 【26题详解】 句意：“什么？那毫无意义，”戳破了七个气球的那个男孩说，“如果没有人戳破别人的气球，那谁会赢呢？” 他原本以为自己戳破最多就能赢，现在说规则不是这样的，他觉得这个说法“没道理/无意义”，meaningless“无意义的”，符合语境。 【27题详解】 句意：“每个人，”Rodriguez先生说。 后文提到“when everyone could win”，说明Rodriguez先生回答男孩的问题“谁会赢”，答案是“每个人都可以赢”，Everyone“每个人”，符合语境。 【28题详解】 句意：我可以看到他们正在努力想象，当每个人都能赢的时候会是什么样子。 他们在思考“当每个人都能赢时会是什么样”，imagine“想象”，符合语境。 【29题详解】 句意：成功不一定要以牺牲他人为代价。 前文提到“我解释成功对我们每个人来说看起来不一样”，空格处指代“成功”，应选用It。 【30题详解】 句意：我们每个人都可以成功。 全文主旨是“每个人都可以赢、可以成功”，successful表示“成功的”，符合语境。 三、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，计30分） 阅读下列内容，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。 A What if things in your home—your toothbrush, books, desks, even you!—suddenly seemed weightless and began to float? This is what astronauts experience in a space station—microgravity (微重力). Even though the space station and the astronauts inside are in space, Earth’s gravity is still pulling on them, though very weak. Let’s explore the astronauts’ life in space. Though there are some challenges, life in space is a super-fun. Eating and sleeping Need to get from one place to another? Just push off a surface and glide there! Nothing stays put. Imagine turning on a tap. Water would go flying everywhere. Astronauts aren’t allowed to eat anything in the space station that creates crumbs (碎屑). Food crumbs can become a disaster if they get into equipment (设备). That’s why astronauts eat specially prepared meals. There’s no “up” or “down” in space, so astronauts sleep in sleeping bags tied to the wall. Their arms will float in front of them while they sleep. Astronauts have to keep their bodies strong. There’s less stress on bones in space, for gravity is weaker. Muscles (肌肉) aren’t used as much. Their bones and muscles grow weaker. Even astronauts’ hearts can weaken. Every astronaut has to exercise for about two hours a day. Most of the exercise equipment is specially designed to imitate the feel of gravity. Work and play Astronauts spend much of their time working. They do a lot of experiments—from space life science to new spacecraft technologies. Sometimes they do spacewalks to make repairs to the outside of the station. When they have free time, astronauts kick back by reading books and looking down at Earth. 31. According to the text, what may cause danger to the space station? A. Water in special bags. B. Very tiny food pieces. C. Specially prepared meals. D. Sleeping bags tied to the wall. 32. Which of the following should go in the empty box? A. Exercising for a strong heart. B. Moving freely. C. Dealing with space loneliness. D. Staying strong. 33. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Strange changes to astronauts’ bodies in space. B. Astronauts’ fun and challenging life in space. C. How astronauts do experiments in space environments. D. Why astronauts inside the space station can’t stay put. 【答案】31. B 32. D 33. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了宇航员在空间站微重力环境下的生活，包括饮食、睡眠、运动和娱乐等方面的挑战与乐趣。 【31题详解】 第三段提到“Food crumbs can become a disaster if they get into equipment.”，食物碎屑可能对空间站造成危险。 【32题详解】 第四段提到“Every astronaut has to exercise for about two hours a day...”，本段讲太空微重力会让骨骼、肌肉、心脏变虚弱，宇航员每天必须锻炼两小时维持身体强健，因此空框处应填“Staying strong”。 【33题详解】 全文围绕宇航员在太空中的生活展开，介绍了饮食、睡眠、运动和工作等方面的内容，因此主旨是宇航员在太空中有趣而充满挑战的生活。 B 16 winners from 12 countries were awarded at the 18th Special Book Awards of China held in Beijing in June 2025. Aleksei Rodionov, professor of Chinese studies at Saint Petersburg University, is a winner of the award in translating. This award is the highest national award. It is presented each year to foreign authors, translators, and publishers for their great contributions in promoting Chinese publications and cultural exchanges between China and other countries. “As a sinologist (汉学家) and translator of Chinese literature, this award will encourage me to do more and do better in promoting cultural exchanges between Russia and China,” said the professor. Rodionov said that he feels a special connection with China when he thought about his journey in Chinese literature. “I was born on the Russian-Chinese border. From the moment I was born, I had a connection with China. As someone with a great interest in foreign languages, I naturally chose to learn Chinese. That’s how I started the journey of studying the Chinese language and literature,” he noted. To the professor, translation is, in fact, a very enjoyable task. “Translating Chinese literary (文学的) works is my lifelong calling. It brings me joy and gives my life a deeper sense of purpose,” he said. For decades, Rodionov has long devoted himself to translating and researching Chinese literature, having translated 26 works by Chinese authors such as Lao She. “Literary works are an important gateway to understanding Chinese culture and the Chinese people. They are important bridges that connect our hearts and minds. In Russia, authors like Mo Yan and Yu Hua are very popular,” said the professor. 34. What was Aleksei Rodionov awarded for? A. Translating Chinese literature. B. Studying the Chinese language. C. Teaching Russian in China. D. Publishing a book in Chinese. 35. What do we know about the award? A. It is held in Beijing every three years. B. It is the highest national award in Russia. C. It encourages Chinese writers, translators and publishers. D.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述2025年6月第十八届中华图书特殊贡献奖在北京颁奖，俄罗斯汉学家Rodionov获翻译奖。他自幼与中国结缘，深耕中文文学翻译数十年，致力于中俄文化交流。 【34题详解】 根据第一段第二句“Aleksei Rodionov...is a winner of the award in translating.”以及倒数第二段“Rodionov has long devoted himself to translating and researching Chinese literature”可知，他获奖是因为“翻译中国文学作品”。 【35题详解】 根据第二段第二句“It is presented each year to foreign authors, translators, and publishers for their great contributions in promoting Chinese publications and cultural exchanges between China and other countries.”可知，该奖项旨在“赞扬外国人在传播中国文化方面的努力”。 【36题详解】 第五段主要引用了教授的话，提到“translation is, in fact, a very enjoyable task ”以及“lifelong calling”，因此第五段主要阐述了“他对翻译工作的理解”。 【37题详解】 文章主要讲述了Rodionov通过翻译中国文学作品获得奖项，并促进了中俄文化交流。最后一段提到“Literary works...are important bridges that connect our hearts and minds.” ，因此选项A“Connected by Literature”最能概括文章关于文学促进文化交流的主题。 C It was 1912, in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, New York. Francie Nolan and her younger brother, Neeley, spent Saturday collecting and selling paper, metal, rubber and other junk for money. They spent half of the money and brought half home to their parents. Francie’s home was in a third-floor walk-up flat in the shadow of the hardy ailanthus tree, the “only tree that grew out of cement (水泥),” a tree “that liked poor people.” ... It was two o’clock. Francie walked towards the library. The library was a little old place. Francie thought that all the books in the world were in that library and she planned to read all the books in the world. She was reading a book a day in alphabetical (按字母表顺序的) order, even the boring ones. She had been reading a book a day for a long time now and she was still in the B’s. On the librarian’s desk stood a neat row of freshly sharpened pencils and the returned books waiting to be put back. “When I have my own home, I’ll have a desk like this, with pencils, ‘always ready for writing,’ and books...books...books...” Saturdays were different. She treated herself by reading a book not in the alphabetical order. On that day, she asked the librarian to recommend a book. “Could you recommend a good book for a girl?” “How old?” The librarian did not even look up. “She is eleven.” The librarian never knew the little girl who took a book out every day and two on Saturday. Francie hurried home, holding the books close. The story of Francois Villon was more wonderful each time she read it. Sometimes she worried the book would be lost in the library. She had once started copying the book in a two-cent notebook. “When I grow up, I’ll work hard, save money and buy every single book I like.” Now it was her weekly fire-escape-sitting time. She put glass, candy and book on the windowsill and climbed out on the fire-escape (安全梯). Once out there, she was living in a tree. Francie breathed the warm air, watched the dancing leaf shadows, ate the candy and drank the cooled water in-between reading. The afternoon passed. 38. What can you learn from the first paragraph? A. How old Francie Nolan was. B. What Francie’s parents did for a living. C. What kind of family Francie came from. D. How much Francie and her brother made. 39. What is Francie’s favorite thing to do? A. Collecting materials for recycling. B. Chatting with the librarian. C. Reading books. D. Watching leaves. 40. Which of the following is true about Francie’s reading habits? A. Copying each book she finished reading. B. Collecting her favorite books in her study. C. Reading every book in the library from Z through A. D. Reading a book not in the order of the letters on Saturday. 41. Which of the following can best describe Francie Nolan? A. Strong-willed and hopeful. B. Brave and fashionable. C. Hard-working and humorous. D. Curious and creative. 【答案】38. C 39. C 40. D 41. A 【解析】 【导语】本文节选自《布鲁克林有棵树》，讲述了小女孩弗兰西·诺兰的生活片段，包括她收集废品、在图书馆阅读以及对未来的憧憬。 【38题详解】 第一段描述了弗兰西的家庭环境：“Francie’s home was in a third-floor walk-up flat...the ‘only tree that grew out of cement,’ a tree ‘that liked poor people.’”，说明她来自贫困家庭。 【39题详解】 文中多次描写弗兰西去图书馆借书、读书，第三段“She was reading a book a day...”、第四段“When I have my own home, I’ll have a desk like this, with pencils...and books...books...books...”，说明阅读是她最喜欢的事。 【40题详解】 第五段指出：“Saturdays were different. She treated herself by reading a book not in the alphabetical order.”，说明周六她读不按字母顺序排列的书。 【41题详解】 弗兰西计划读遍图书馆所有的书，并憧憬未来拥有自己的书桌和书籍，说明她意志坚定且充满希望。 D If you want to learn new stories about familiar plants and animals, and discover new species (物种) to plant in your own yard, Nature of Portland, is a must for you. Most of this book is about which plants and animals are natives in Portland (a city in Oregon, USA). Many plants and animals in this book have long made their homes here. In this field guide, filled with local knowledge and humor, LeeAnn Kriegh describes more than 350 plants and animals found within an hour’s ride of Portland, Inside you’ll discover: ● Common and scientific names ● Key details like size, bloom (flowering) time, and months seen ● Local natural history, ecology, stories, and fun facts ● Details on where to find every species ● Beautiful full-color photos of every species Take Western Starflower from the book as an example. Western Starflower (Lysimachia latifolia) Flowers: Late spring to early summer Late spring is a magical time to explore trails in the Portland area, as birds are singing, and colorful blooms are coming out on wildflowers like this one. Western starflower’s pinkish blooms stand out against the backdrop of the plant’s big, broad, deep-green leaves (latifolia translates to “broad-leaved”). A lot of flowers are in the shape of a star, but species like this one win the starflower name because of their thin flower stalks (茎). They make the flowers seem to fly in the air like stars. ID tips: 2-12 inches tall. Look for a whorl of four to seven broadly oval leaves (up to 3.5 inches long) with pointed tips. Up to a few star-shaped pink flowers (up to 0.75 inches wide) bloom on thin flower stalks, each with five to seven pointed petals (花瓣). Locations: Locally common in shady, wet woods, including at Oxbow Regional Park and Powell Butte Nature Park. At the back of the book, you’ll find 10 “treasure hunts” in the Portland area. The species are waiting to be found. Reading about plants and animals is fun, but getting outside to experience and connect with nature is what Nature of Portland is all about. 42. What is Nature of Portland? A. A fun, friendly guide to local plants and animals. B. A photo collection of plants and animals in danger. C. A field guide to the city’s places of interest. D. A book mainly about some famous local landscapes. 43. What does the underlined word “natives” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Animals or plants that live in the sea. B. Animals that kill and eat other animals. C. Animals or plants that live or grow naturally in a place. D. Unusual and exciting plants, especially from other countries. 44. In the table about Western Starflower, what can you get from the Flowers part? A. How tall the flower is. B. How many leaves the flower has. C. Why the flower gets its name. D. Which parks you can visit to see the flower. 45. What is the purpose of the text? A. To show how to write a book review. B. To tell readers what to expect from the book. C. To give advice on what to grow in your yard. D. To encourage readers to find new local plants. 【答案】42. A 43. C 44. C 45.

(价值观) 【答案】values 【解析】 【详解】句意：骑行打开了拥有共同价值观和生活方式的新朋友的世界。根据中文提示可知，“价值观”对应的英文是value，是可数名词，此处作with的宾语，与lifestyles并列，用复数形式表泛指，故填values。 51. You’re happier when you’re ________ with your friends. (ride) 【答案】riding 【解析】 【详解】句意：当你和你的朋友们一起骑车时，你会更快乐。ride意为“骑”，是动词。when引导的时间状语从句中，主语you与ride之间为主动关系，应用现在分词，表示“正在骑车”。故填riding。 52. Even a short daily bike ride is good for your health and ________. (weigh) 【答案】weight 【解析】 【详解】句意：每天哪怕短途骑行，都对你的健康和体重管理有益。“and”连接并列名词，前面是 “health”，名词，后面也要填名词；weigh是动词，意为“称重”，名词形式为weight，表示“体重”。 53. For those with sleeping problems, biking is a good ________. (choose) 【答案】choice 【解析】 【详解】句意：对于有睡眠问题的人来说，骑自行车是一个好的选择。choose意为“选择”，是动词。a后接单数名词，其对应的名词是choice。 54. A pair of ________ shoes and a bicycle provide simple ways to connect with nature. (comfort) 【答案】comfortable 【解析】 【详解】句意：一双舒适的鞋子和一辆自行车是亲近大自然的简单方式。空格后为名词shoes，需要形容词修饰名词，comfort的形容词形式是comfortable，意为“舒适的”，故填comfortable。 55. Want to become happier, stronger and ________? Why not go biking? (healthy) 【答案】healthier 【解析】 【详解】句意：想变得更快乐、更强壮、更健康吗？为什么不骑自行车呢？healthy意为“健康的”，是形容词。根据句中的“happier, stronger and”可知，此处应用形容词的比较级形式，表示并列关系。healthy的比较级为healthier。故填healthier。 五、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，计10分） 阅读短文，回答下面5个问题。（每题答案不超过10个词） Can animals help manage the risks of wildfires? In some places, people are turning to animals for help. These animals may play a role in stopping the spread of wildfires. A fire needs three things to burn: fuel (燃料), heat, and oxygen from the air. Forest floors are covered in fire fuel. That includes dry grass, dead wood and leaves. They can catch fire easily. Heat can come from a burning match, lightning, or hot wood from a campfire. In the right conditions, a whole forest can catch fire from one burning leaf. And this happens quickly. If there is no fuel, then the fire can’t spread. But there’s a way to deal with fire fuel. Grazing (食草的) animals naturally clear out these plants. How? By doing what they do best: eating! Yes, hungry animals can help prevent wildfires. During the hot, dry summers in Portugal and Spain, wildfire often happens. It eats everything! Luckily, goats (山羊) also eat everything. Portugal’s government turns to goats for help. The goats’ job is to eat plants under trees that cover the hills. Some even climb trees to look for supper. In northern Spain, sheep are also joining in. Sheep and goats eat through dry grass. Without fuel, it’s more difficult for a fire to spread. Fire also needs oxygen. Firefighters use water to put out fires and block their oxygen. Enter beavers (河狸)! When beavers build dams (坝), they flood the area around. Water covers grass. And the soil stays nice and wet. They create a wide area of wetlands. The wetlands can prevent wildfire in hot, dry areas. Because of climate change, many areas are experiencing hotter, drier seasons. Wildfires are growing in number and destructiveness. But we don’t have to fight these fires alone. Animals can be heroes of protecting the environment. They just have to do what comes naturally. 56. Why are people in some places turning to animals for help? ___________________________________________________________ 57. What may happen to dry grass, dead wood and leaves? ___________________________________________________________ 58. How do sheep reduce the risk of the spread of wildfire? ___________________________________________________________ 59. How do wetlands help in hot, dry areas? ___________________________________________________________ 60. What’s your understanding of the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? ___________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. Because these animals may help stop the spread of wildfires. 57. They may catch fire easily. 58. By eating (through dry grass). 59. They cover grass and keep soil nice and wet. 60. We can turn to animals for help to fight fires. 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了动物如何帮助管理野火风险，包括山羊和绵羊通过啃食干草减少燃料，河狸通过筑坝形成湿地阻断氧气。 【56题详解】 第一段指出“These animals may play a role in stopping the spread of wildfires”，说明人们求助动物的原因是它们可以帮助阻止野火蔓延，提取信息作答。 【57题详解】 第二段指出“That includes dry grass, dead wood and leaves. They can catch fire easily”，说明干草、枯木和树叶很容易着火，答案是原文直接信息。 【58题详解】 第四段指出“Sheep and goats eat through dry grass”，说明绵羊通过啃食干草来减少燃料，答案是原文直接信息。 【59题详解】 第五段指出湿地预防野火的两个具体方面“When beavers build dams, they flood the area around. Water covers grass. And the soil stays nice and wet”，说明湿地的作用是水覆盖草木，并使土壤保持湿润，从而减少易燃物并抑制野火蔓延，整合这两点作答。 【60题详解】 最后一段划线句子“But we don’t have to fight these fires alone”直接表明人类不必独自应对野火，结合前一句“Animals can be heroes of protecting the environment”，说明动物可以成为灭火的帮手，答案是原文直接信息。 六、缺词填空（共10空；每空1分，计10分） 根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。在标有题号的横线上，完整地写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。（每空一词） The Great Wall is one of the wonders of the world.

This is what astronauts experience in a space station—microgravity (微重力). Even though the space station and the astronauts inside are in space, Earth’s gravity is still pulling on them, though very weak. Let’s explore the astronauts’ life in space. Though there are some challenges, life in space is a super-fun. Eating and sleeping Need to get from one place to another? Just push off a surface and glide there! Nothing stays put. Imagine turning on a tap. Water would go flying everywhere. Astronauts aren’t allowed to eat anything in the space station that creates crumbs (碎屑). Food crumbs can become a disaster if they get into equipment (设备). That’s why astronauts eat specially prepared meals. There’s no “up” or “down” in space, so astronauts sleep in sleeping bags tied to the wall. Their arms will float in front of them while they sleep. Astronauts have to keep their bodies strong. There’s less stress on bones in space, for gravity is weaker. Muscles (肌肉) aren’t used as much. Their bones and muscles grow weaker. Even astronauts’ hearts can weaken. Every astronaut has to exercise for about two hours a day. Most of the exercise equipment is specially designed to imitate the feel of gravity. Work and play Astronauts spend much of their time working. They do a lot of experiments—from space life science to new spacecraft technologies. Sometimes they do spacewalks to make repairs to the outside of the station. When they have free time, astronauts kick back by reading books and looking down at Earth. 31. According to the text, what may cause danger to the space station? A. Water in special bags. B. Very tiny food pieces. C. Specially prepared meals. D. Sleeping bags tied to the wall. 32. Which of the following should go in the empty box? A. Exercising for a strong heart. B. Moving freely. C. Dealing with space loneliness. D. Staying strong. 33. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Strange changes to astronauts’ bodies in space. B. Astronauts’ fun and challenging life in space. C. How astronauts do experiments in space environments. D. Why astronauts inside the space station can’t stay put. B 16 winners from 12 countries were awarded at the 18th Special Book Awards of China held in Beijing in June 2025. Aleksei Rodionov, professor of Chinese studies at Saint Petersburg University, is a winner of the award in translating. This award is the highest national award. It is presented each year to foreign authors, translators, and publishers for their great contributions in promoting Chinese publications and cultural exchanges between China and other countries. “As a sinologist (汉学家) and translator of Chinese literature, this award will encourage me to do more and do better in promoting cultural exchanges between Russia and China,” said the professor. Rodionov said that he feels a special connection with China when he thought about his journey in Chinese literature. “I was born on the Russian-Chinese border. From the moment I was born, I had a connection with China. As someone with a great interest in foreign languages, I naturally chose to learn Chinese. That’s how I started the journey of studying the Chinese language and literature,” he noted. To the professor, translation is, in fact, a very enjoyable task. “Translating Chinese literary (文学的) works is my lifelong calling. It brings me joy and gives my life a deeper sense of purpose,” he said. For decades, Rodionov has long devoted himself to translating and researching Chinese literature, having translated 26 works by Chinese authors such as Lao She. “Literary works are an important gateway to understanding Chinese culture and the Chinese people. They are important bridges that connect our hearts and minds. In Russia, authors like Mo Yan and Yu Hua are very popular,” said the professor. 34. What was Aleksei Rodionov awarded for? A.

Francie Nolan and her younger brother, Neeley, spent Saturday collecting and selling paper, metal, rubber and other junk for money. They spent half of the money and brought half home to their parents. Francie’s home was in a third-floor walk-up flat in the shadow of the hardy ailanthus tree, the “only tree that grew out of cement (水泥),” a tree “that liked poor people.” ... It was two o’clock. Francie walked towards the library. The library was a little old place. Francie thought that all the books in the world were in that library and she planned to read all the books in the world. She was reading a book a day in alphabetical (按字母表顺序的) order, even the boring ones. She had been reading a book a day for a long time now and she was still in the B’s. On the librarian’s desk stood a neat row of freshly sharpened pencils and the returned books waiting to be put back. “When I have my own home, I’ll have a desk like this, with pencils, ‘always ready for writing,’ and books...books...books...” Saturdays were different. She treated herself by reading a book not in the alphabetical order. On that day, she asked the librarian to recommend a book. “Could you recommend a good book for a girl?” “How old?” The librarian did not even look up. “She is eleven.” The librarian never knew the little girl who took a book out every day and two on Saturday. Francie hurried home, holding the books close. The story of Francois Villon was more wonderful each time she read it. Sometimes she worried the book would be lost in the library. She had once started copying the book in a two-cent notebook. “When I grow up, I’ll work hard, save money and buy every single book I like.” Now it was her weekly fire-escape-sitting time. She put glass, candy and book on the windowsill and climbed out on the fire-escape (安全梯). Once out there, she was living in a tree. Francie breathed the warm air, watched the dancing leaf shadows, ate the candy and drank the cooled water in-between reading. The afternoon passed. 38. What can you learn from the first paragraph? A. How old Francie Nolan was. B. What Francie’s parents did for a living. C. What kind of family Francie came from. D. How much Francie and her brother made. 39. What is Francie’s favorite thing to do? A. Collecting materials for recycling. B. Chatting with the librarian. C. Reading books. D. Watching leaves. 40. Which of the following is true about Francie’s reading habits? A. Copying each book she finished reading. B. Collecting her favorite books in her study. C. Reading every book in the library from Z through A. D. Reading a book not in the order of the letters on Saturday. 41. Which of the following can best describe Francie Nolan? A. Strong-willed and hopeful. B. Brave and fashionable. C. Hard-working and humorous. D. Curious and creative. D If you want to learn new stories about familiar plants and animals, and discover new species (物种) to plant in your own yard, Nature of Portland, is a must for you. Most of this book is about which plants and animals are natives in Portland (a city in Oregon, USA). Many plants and animals in this book have long made their homes here. In this field guide, filled with local knowledge and humor, LeeAnn Kriegh describes more than 350 plants and animals found within an hour’s ride of Portland, Inside you’ll discover: ● Common and scientific names ● Key details like size, bloom (flowering) time, and months seen ● Local natural history, ecology, stories, and fun facts ● Details on where to find every species ● Beautiful full-color photos of every species Take Western Starflower from the book as an example. Western Starflower (Lysimachia latifolia) Flowers: Late spring to early summer Late spring is a magical time to explore trails in the Portland area, as birds are singing, and colorful blooms are coming out on wildflowers like this one. Western starflower’s pinkish blooms stand out against the backdrop of the plant’s big, broad, deep-green leaves (latifolia translates to “broad-leaved”). A lot of flowers are in the shape of a star, but species like this one win the starflower name because of their thin flower stalks (茎). They make the flowers seem to fly in the air like stars. ID tips: 2-12 inches tall. Look for a whorl of four to seven broadly oval leaves (up to 3.5 inches long) with pointed tips. Up to a few star-shaped pink flowers (up to 0.75 inches wide) bloom on thin flower stalks, each with five to seven pointed petals (花瓣). Locations: Locally common in shady, wet woods, including at Oxbow Regional Park and Powell Butte Nature Park. At the back of the book, you’ll find 10 “treasure hunts” in the Portland area.

These animals may play a role in stopping the spread of wildfires. A fire needs three things to burn: fuel (燃料), heat, and oxygen from the air. Forest floors are covered in fire fuel. That includes dry grass, dead wood and leaves. They can catch fire easily. Heat can come from a burning match, lightning, or hot wood from a campfire. In the right conditions, a whole forest can catch fire from one burning leaf. And this happens quickly. If there is no fuel, then the fire can’t spread. But there’s a way to deal with fire fuel. Grazing (食草的) animals naturally clear out these plants. How? By doing what they do best: eating! Yes, hungry animals can help prevent wildfires. During the hot, dry summers in Portugal and Spain, wildfire often happens. It eats everything! Luckily, goats (山羊) also eat everything. Portugal’s government turns to goats for help. The goats’ job is to eat plants under trees that cover the hills. Some even climb trees to look for supper. In northern Spain, sheep are also joining in. Sheep and goats eat through dry grass. Without fuel, it’s more difficult for a fire to spread. Fire also needs oxygen. Firefighters use water to put out fires and block their oxygen. Enter beavers (河狸)! When beavers build dams (坝), they flood the area around. Water covers grass. And the soil stays nice and wet. They create a wide area of wetlands. The wetlands can prevent wildfire in hot, dry areas. Because of climate change, many areas are experiencing hotter, drier seasons. Wildfires are growing in number and destructiveness. But we don’t have to fight these fires alone. Animals can be heroes of protecting the environment. They just have to do what comes naturally. 56.
