She greeted her neighbors, including a cactus (仙人掌), an apple tree and other plants. Then, she said to the cactus, “I’m the most beautiful flower here, but you are full of thorns and so ugly!” Day after day, the rose never stopped being unkind to the cactus. The cactus, however, never got sad or angry. Instead, he always calmly said, “All lives have meaning.” As summer came, it was hot and dry. The rose began to weaken, but the cactus grew well. He had a wide root system and was good at storing water in his body. One day, the rose saw a bird make a small hole in the cactus with its beak (喙). The thirsty bird drank the water inside the cactus through the hole. “It must hurt,” said the rose. “Yes,” the apple tree said, “but the cactus doesn’t want to see his bird friend in trouble.” The rose was so thirsty that she asked the cactus for water. He kindly agreed. The bird filled its beak with water and watered the rose’s roots. The rose was quite sorry for what she had said to the cactus in the past. From then on, she understood that a kind heart is far more important than a good look. 26. How did the cactus feel about the rose’s words? A. Sad. B. Angry. C. Calm. D. Amazed. 27. How did the rose get the water finally? A. She stored the water in her roots. B. She drank water from the hole in the cactus. C. The apple tree helped her get water from the cactus. D. The bird watered her by filling its beak with water. 28. What did the rose learn from the experience? A. She was the most beautiful in the forest. B. A kind heart is more important than a good look.

The Amazon River runs through the rainforest. It’s the world’s second longest river. The Amazon Rainforest covers much of Brazil. The green colour on the national flag of Brazil stands for the rainforest. However, climate change and human activities make it “sick”. Usually, the rainforest can fix itself. But now, it feels too “tired” to get better. According to a new study, many trees there may die, and the Amazon Rainforest may turn into hot, dry grassland in a few years. Why is the Amazon “sick”? The Amazon Rainforest is one of the world’s wettest places. But since 2005, three droughts have hit the rainforest. They were caused by climate change. The trees don’t have enough water to grow. What’s worse, as they become dry, they can easily catch fire. Besides, people cut down rainforest trees for wood. They burn the forest to make farmland. All these activities have made about 17% of the rainforest disappear. ▲ The Amazon Rainforest is like the lungs (肺) of our planet. The rich plants there take CO₂ out of the air and make oxygen (氧气). They make more than 20% of the planet’s oxygen. If the Amazon Rainforest “dies”, there will be more CO₂, and our earth will become even hotter. The Amazon Rainforest is also home to over 3 million animals and plants. Many of them can’t live anywhere else. They would very likely just disappear. It is necessary to save the Amazon Rainforest. And it’s not just because it’s beautiful. It also plays a key role in keeping the earth healthy and helping our planet. So, saving the Amazon Rainforest means saving people too. 36. What can we know about the Amazon Rainforest from paragraph1? ①Its size. ②Its location. ③Its width. ④Its height. A. ②③④. B. ①②③. C. ①②④. D. ①③④. 37. What makes the Amazon Rainforest “sick”? A. Climate change and human activities. B. Three droughts and forest fires. C. Farmland and animals. D. Hot and dry weather. 38. Which is the best subtitle for ▲ ? A. What is the Amazon Rainforest like now? B. How can we protect the Amazon Rainforest? C. What will happen if we lose the Amazon Rainforest? D. What’s in the Amazon Rainforest? 39. Which word best describes the writer’s feeling about the Amazon Rainforest? A. Patient. B. Relaxed. C. Disappointed. D. Worried. 40. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this text? A. To show the value of the Amazon Rainforest. B. To introduce the importance of the Amazon Rainforest. C. To call on people to save the Amazon Rainforest. D. To tell about what happened to the Amazon Rainforest. 第二节 阅读表达 （共5题；每题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 Many people like the idea of having a bird as a pet. Birds are colorful, they can sing, and they look very cute. But before you buy one, think carefully! Birds are different from other pets. They have special needs. First, birds need friends. Unlike dogs or cats, birds can’t be alone (独自的) for too long. They are social (社交型的) animals and need to be with other birds or people. If they stay alone all day without anyone to talk to, they wouldn’t feel fun. At first, you will enjoy watching it fly around or listening to it sing. But after some time, you may not like it. Birds need a lot of care and if you are too busy with schoolwork or other things, you might not have enough time for them. Finally, birds can live for many years. Some kinds of birds live for 20 years or more. This means keeping a bird takes you many years. You need to make sure you can take care of it for a long time, not just for a few months. While birds can be great pets, they need more care than many people think. Before buying a bird, ask yourself if you have enough time and energy to care for it. Remember, a pet is a friend for life, so think twice before you buy one! 41. What should people do before buying a bird as a pet? ________________ 42. How will the birds feel if they stay alone all day? ________________ 43. What would the pet birds need besides friends? ________________ 44. How many years can some birds live up to? ________________ 45. Do you want to keep a pet bird?
