Passage 2
根据短文内容及首字母提示,在空格处填入一个适当的词使短文完整。
Erie Green has always wondered about things that live in the ocean. When he was y 1 , he loved to swim. He liked to watch all kinds of underwater animals and plants through his mask. When he grew up, he wanted to l 2 for new things in the ocean.
Today, Mr. Green is a marine ecologist. He studies how underwater animals and plants connect with each other and need each other to stay alive.
Mr. Green studies coral reefs in the Pacific Ocean. A coral reef is like a big underwater t 3 . Thousands of animals and plants live there. They compete for food and space there. As a result, the beautiful coral reefs get injured e 4 .
Mr. Green also studies how people’s a 5 can change coral reefs. Sometimes people pollute the water or overfish, so the way that all the 1 6 things are joined together has been changed. If coral reefs get hurt, many animals have to find new homes. Some animals’ n 7 drop low, and some animals just disappear. Mr. Green wants to p 8 this from happening.
Mr. Green believes that all living things in a coral reef should be k 9 safe. “Underwater ecosystems are like airplanes,” Mr. Green says. “They need all of their parts to work correctly.” “To take better care of marine homes, we first must k 10 them. Only through that can we understand the great influence humans have on these places,” Mr. Green says.
Passage 3
根据文意及首字母提示,在空白处填入一个适当的单词,并在答题纸上写出完整单词。
Climate change has become a s 1 problem in today’s world. Human activities c 2 much of this problem. We use cars, factories, and electricity in ways that produce lots of greenhouse gases. A main r 3 is that our planet is getting warmer year by year.
Scientists keep careful records. They show that the earth’s heat keeps i 4 over the past century. The average global (全球的) t 5 continues to rise. This warming affects a 6 two-thirds of all countries in the world.
For example, in the polar areas, ice that was once very t 7 is now becoming thinner. Melting ice leads to higher sea levels, and this can h 8 wildlife and natural ecosystems in coastal regions.
Different opinions often d 9 us into groups. Some ask to take action right away, while others are more careful. To make real progress, we must c 10 good ideas with practical actions and work together. Cooperation (合作) is the real key.
We can all take small steps in daily life to help. Turning off unused lights, reducing waste, and using greener ways to travel are good starts. Together, we can still protect our planet for the future.
Passage 4
Nature is full of amazing wonders that have existed for millions of years. One of the most famous natural wonders is the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. It is the largest coral reef system in the world, covering a huge area of the sea. The reef is home to thousands of rare sea creatures and plants, which play an important role in maintaining the b 1 of the marine ecosystem.
The Great Barrier Reef was f 2 by tiny coral polyps over a long period of time. These small creatures secrete a hard substance that forms the structure of the reef. What makes it even more amazing is that the reef is still growing and changing today. However, in recent years, it has faced many threats. Pollution and climate change have caused some parts of the reef to lose their color and die, which has a 3 many scientists and environmentalists.
Another incredible natural wonder is the Victoria Falls. Located on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe, the falls are known for their huge size and powerful water flow. When the water rushes down the steep cliffs, it creates a mist that can be seen from miles away. The sound of the water is so loud that it feels like thunder. Every year, thousands of tourists are a 4 to this amazing sight, eager to experience the power of nature.
These natural wonders remind us of the beauty and mystery of our planet. They also teach us that nature is fragile and needs to be protected. We should take responsibility for preserving these treasures so that future generations can also admire their b 5 and learn from their history. From the deep oceans to the high mountains, nature’s wonders never fail to i 6 awe and respect in our hearts.
Passage 5
The world’s largest rainforest, the Amazon, c 1 40 percent of South America. It makes about one-fifth of the earth’s oxygen. People c 2 it“the lungs of our planet”.
However, the rainforest is in d 3 now. A large fire broke out in the Amazon and it lasted for many d 4 . In fact, the Amazon has seen a large number of fires. B 5 January and August in 2019, there were about 73,000 fires.
Most of the fires came f 6 human activities. Farmers in the Amazon have long used fire to prepare land for planting. But these fires can e 7 get out of control.
The Brazilian g 8 has sent soldiers to fight the fires. But scientists have said that it will t 9 around 20 to 40 years to rebuild the forest’s ecosystem. They have a 10 said that the fires have destroyed 15 to 17 percent of the rainforest.

Save the Sharks (鲨鱼)!
Many have heard of shark fin (鱼翅) soup. But do you r 1 that you’re killing a whole shark each time you enjoy a bowl of shark fin soup?
When people catch sharks, t 2 cut off their fins and throw the sharks back into the sea. This is not o 3 cruel (残酷的), but also harmful to the environment. Without a fin, a shark can no l 4 swim and slowly dies. Sharks are at the t 5 of the food chain in the sea’s ecosystem. If their numbers drop too low, it will bring danger to all sea life. Many believe that sharks can never be endangered b 6 they are the strongest in their food chain. But in fact, around 70 m 7 sharks are caught and traded (交易) in this industry (工业) every year. The numbers of some kinds of sharks harks have fallen by over 90 percent in the last 20 or 30 years.
Environmental protection groups around the world, s 8 as WildAid and the WWF, are teaching the public about “finning”. They have even asked governments to develop laws (法律) to s 9 the sale of shark fins. So far, no scientific studies have shown that shark fins are good for health, so why eat them? Help s 10 the sharks.

Unluckily, we don’t always value this. Many animals are in danger b 3 of our actions, and millions of animals in the world are b 4 treated. World Animal Day reminds us, at least for one day a year, “to celebrate animal life in all its forms” and “to be thankful for the way in which animals enrich (使丰富) our lives”.
World Animal Day was started in 1931 in Florence, Italy. It made us pay attention to the p 5 of endangered animals around the world. It is now celebrated in most countries around the world. The day f 6 on October 4th every year.
All over the world on this day, volunteers r 7 money for animal centres. Museums and zoos organise (组织) special events. Schools have also j 8 animal projects. The p 9 of these activities is to show us how we could improve our relationship with animals.
If you want to take part, you could help an animal or organise a money-raising event for a local charity (慈善机构). The important thing is just to be a 10 to join. We should offer animals as much as they offer us.

You eat fruit, vegetables, meat and fish. They can p 4 you with energy. You drink water every time you feel thirsty. Now think about a tree. W 5 a tree is hungry, it gets food from the soil (土壤). Trees drink water, too.
We are different in some ways, but all living things are connected. We are all on the same planet, and we depend on each other. If we pollute the rivers and oceans, fish may get s 6 or even die. Some birds l 7 on fish. If the birds eat these fish, they may die. This can have t 8 effects on ecosystems. Nature is a b 9 between all the living things on the planet. If one species (物种) dies off, then another species may die off, followed by another, and another...

The village has been built halfway up the mountain, close to the tea forest in the middle of the mountain, while farmland is in lower areas with rich water.
“All the treasures will be u 5 up, and only the tea forest will provide for our children and their children all the time,” said a local Blang villager. The w 6 of the ancestors made the tea forest and village last for around a thousand years.
Today, tea gardens cover an area of more than 9, 000 mu (600 hectares) and produce an annual output of more than 200 tonnes, helping nearly 500 household i 7 their incomes (收入).
A growing number of villagers are b 8 managing the tea factories. Many are selling tea t 9 the Internet and sharing details of their daily lives and work on social media platforms.

(25-26九年级下·江苏南京·期中)Have you ever walked along the beach and seen piles of plastic waste? Or read news about sea animals hurt by plastic rubbish? These are part of ocean plastic pollution, a serious p 1 that the whole world is facing.
Ocean plastic is a global problem which is c 2 by human activities. Every year, millions of tons of plastic waste runs into the sea through rivers. This waste s 3 breaks down into tiny pieces called microplastics, which enter the food chain and do harm to both sea life and human health.
In China, many coastal cities are taking action to f 4 this problem. For example, Shenzhen has set up special recycling stations along the coastline. A 5 measure is to organize volunteer beach cleanup activities on weekends. Thousands of citizens take part in them every year, picking up plastic bottles and bags.
Many schools also hold educational activities to teach students about ocean protection. Students learn that even small acts in daily life can make a big d 6 . For example, saying no to single-use plastic products can reduce waste at the source.
B 7 the cleanup work, scientists are also looking for new ways to deal with microplastics. Some research teams have developed special materials that can collect tiny plastic pieces from seawater e 8 .
Protecting the ocean is not just for the beauty of nature; it is also v 9 for human survival. However, there is still a long way to go, as the problem cannot be solved o 10 . Everyone should take responsibility and take action to protect our blue home.

Light pollution doesn’t just stop us from seeing the s 2 . It also causes many problems for animals. For example, fireflies (萤火虫) use their own light to talk to e 3 other and find their partners. But when the city lights are too b 4 , fireflies cannot see partners’ signals (信号) clearly. As a result, it is difficult for them to produce more babies. Another example is about birds. Many birds fly at night by f 5 the light of the moon. Bright city lights can confuse (使困惑) them, and some birds may lose their way or even h 6 tall buildings.
Besides, light pollution can affect human health in different ways. If you sleep with the lights on, your body will think it is s 7 daytime and cannot rest well. This might make you feel t 8 or even develop some illnesses. Doctors say that the dark is necessary for a good sleep b 9 it helps our bodies produce a special hormone (激素) to keep us healthy.
To help solve this problem, many cities are starting to take action. They have decided to turn off unnecessary lights in public places a 10 midnight. We can also do our part in our daily lives. Darkness is as important as light. Let’s work together to protect the dark night so that we can enjoy the beautiful stars and live a healthier life.

Every year, thousands of tourists are a 4 to this amazing sight, eager to experience the power of nature.
These natural wonders remind us of the beauty and mystery of our planet. They also teach us that nature is fragile and needs to be protected.
