Governments and organizations work together to protect them. Giant pandas eat bamboo shoots, bamboo leaves and some fruit. They live in the mountains of China and usually live alone. These cute black-and-white animals are loved by people all over the world. Black rhinos mainly live in eastern and southern Africa. They have two horns (角). The number of black rhinos has become smaller. These black rhinos are in great danger now. The snow leopard is a member of the cat family. With their thick fur, they live in the cold mountains of central Asia. However, they’re also facing danger because of human activities. Polar bears just look white, but they don’t have white fur (皮毛). They live in the Arctic (北极). Seals are their main food. But their living environment is getting worse. 1．Which of the following is probably food for giant pandas? A．Apples. B．Chocolate. C．Rice. D．Lions. 2．Where can people find black rhinos? A．In the Arctic. B．In the mountains of Asia. C．In central China. D．In southern Africa. 3．What can we learn from the text? A．Polar bears have white fur. B．Giant pandas usually live in groups. C．The number of black rhinos has increased greatly. D．Snow leopards and cats are in the same family. B The book The Call of the Forest: Tao Tao the Panda’s Journey Back to the Wild tells how Zhang Hemin helped Tao Tao, a captive-bred (圈养的) panda, return to nature successfully. Born in zoos, pandas can hardly live in the wild. Zhang Hemin, known as “the father of pandas”, has done lots of great work to solve the problem. Zhang made a strict and scientific training method. Different from traditional ways, young pandas receive mother-like training instead of being taught by human keepers. They live with their mothers and develop wild living abilities in half-wild areas, like looking for bamboo and protecting themselves. “We must create a world without humans around for pandas,” Zhang said. After years of practice, the pandas can live alone in the wild. Tao Tao, a two-year-old panda, finished all the training. On October 11, 2012, he was sent to Liziping Nature Reserve in Sichuan and began his real wild life. Zhang’s team used GPS to supervise him, so they could know where he went, what he ate and what dangers he faced. Luckily, Tao Tao got used to wild life quickly. He could find food, build safe hiding places and deal with natural dangers. Up to now, Tao Tao has still kept the record: He lives longer than any other captive-bred pandas in the wild. This result shows the training plan works perfectly. Thanks to Zhang’s work, 11 captive-bred pandas have returned to their natural home. His hard work successfully protects pandas and provides valuable experience for protecting wild animals around the world as well. 4．What is the new book about? A．How to keep baby pandas successfully. B．How to find half-wild areas for pandas. C．How to train human keepers for pandas. D．How to help a panda go back to nature. 5．What is special about Zhang’s training method? A．Young pandas can follow the method easily. B．Young pandas learn life abilities from mothers. C．Human keepers can offer pandas help in time. D．Human keepers can guide pandas to find bamboo. 6．What does the underlined word “supervise” probably mean? A．Watch. B．Feed. C．Change. D．Catch. 7．What is the writer’s attitude (态度) towards Zhang’s work? A．Doubtful. B．Worried. C．Thankful. D．Shocked. C Trees are one of the oldest plants on Earth. They keep the air clean, reduce noise pollution, make water cleaner, and provide food and building materials. Just like us, trees change a lot as they grow. At 1 to 3 years old, young trees learn how to defend themselves. For example, many trees grow thorns (刺) to stop animals from going near. At the age of 4, trees begin to grow very quickly and become strong enough to face many difficulties later in life. At the age of 15, trees become young adults. They grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruits. When a tree is 20 to 25 years old, it becomes a real adult. The tree reaches its largest size. The adult tree can give us shade (树荫), oxygen and natural beauty. It is a great place for us to have a rest or play games. With good care, the adult tree will go on to live healthily for many years. Little by little, trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, they still have an important place in nature. When a tree becomes hollow (空的) or part of it becomes dead, it becomes a home to small animals and a source (来源) of food for many other animals. Trees are very important in our lives. They help us and nature at every stage of their lives, even after they die. We should value and protect trees. 8．What does the underlined word “defend” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Feed. B．Hide. C．Clean. D．Protect. 9．Trees begin to produce fruits at the age of ________. A．one B．four C．fifteen D．twenty 10．Which is the right order of the life of a tree? ①It grows thorns.  ②It grows more slowly.  ③It grows older and dies. ④It becomes a real adult. ⑤It produces flowers and fruit. A．①②④⑤③ B．①②⑤④③ C．②④①⑤③ D．②⑤①④③ 11．What can we learn from the passage? A．A hollow tree can’t provide food for animals. B．A tree begins to grow quickly when it is an adult. C．Old trees can make great places for people to rest. D．An adult tree can live long and well with good care. D Have you ever noticed birds singing in the morning? Birds have their own special language, made up of calls, songs, and melodies (旋律). Birds make these sounds using a very small part in their throats called the syrinx (鸣管). Each sound has its meaning, helping birds communicate with one another. Some loud calls tell others that danger is near. Others are cries for help. Baby birds call for their mothers when they need food or protection. Although their calls are quiet, they can still be clearly heard near their homes. Even after leaving homes, small birds often continue using these calls—because mother is always there. Birds also use contact calls to check on friends, stay together, or share news about tasty food. Mid-flight calls are different. Many of these sounds are also highly musical. Scientists often use them to tell different kinds. So why do birds sing early in the morning? It’s a way of showing off their strength! Male birds sing early in the morning to show they are strong and healthy. Since birds usually feed during the day, the mornings are the time when they are hungriest and weakest. By singing at this time, they show they are full of energy and ready for action. These songs help them find partners and protect their living areas. Sweet birdsong has always touched people’s hearts. Many musicians, like Vivaldi and Beethoven were inspired (启发) by birds and used their melodies in their music. If you want to learn birdsong yourself, just go outside and listen carefully. Bring a handbook, and with some practice and patience, you can discover the secret of birdsong. 12．Which of the following is true about bird calls? A．Birds use loud calls to find food together. B．Baby birds stop calls after leaving mothers. C．Bird calls carry different messages and uses. D．Bird calls are easy for humans to understand. 13．Why do male birds sing early in the morning? A．To practice their songs for the day. B．To tell other birds where to find food. C．To wake up other animals in the forest. D．To show their strength and good health. 14．How might the writer show that birdsong inspires people? A．By mentioning musicians. B．By telling his own story. C．By comparing it with music. D．By asking us to listen to it. 15．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To teach how to keep birds as pets. B．To tell stories about famous musicians. C．To share interesting details about bird sounds. D．To explain why birds are important to the earth. 二、任务型阅读（共5题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面材料，从方框中所给的A-E五个选项中选择正确的选项(其中一项是多余选项)，将其序号填入第1-4小题，并回答第5小题。 Hug (拥抱) a tree? Recently, many people have shared their experience of hugging trees online, and they turned to trees to help with their stress. I wrapped my arms around it and rested my face on the trunk. I closed my eyes, took a few deep breaths and felt really calm during that moment. Hugging a tree is a different experience from hugging a person or an animal. Although it sounds strange, there is a science behind the act of tree-hugging. It can be explained by the “biophilia hypothesis” (亲生命假说). A US scientist Edward Wilson pointed it out in 1984. Humans’ love for nature is “in our DNA”. This idea helps to explain why people like natural, green views better than city views. Besides, spending time with trees can reduce your stress hormones (压力荷尔蒙) and make you feel relaxed. These oils protect trees from illnesses and germs. They are also good for human health, because they can make your immune system (免疫系统) stronger. Also, hugging a tree lets you take a close look at it. Hugging trees gives you a deeper connection (联系) to nature. You begin to enjoy nature more. A．In addition, trees give off some special oils. B．Because of this, you will want to help the environment. C．You can smell it, touch it and listen to the sound of its leaves. D．He said that humans are born to love being around other living things. E．A month ago, I hugged an orange tree in a nearby park for the first time. 16． 17． 18． 19． 20．Do you want to hug the trees? Why or why not?

Governments and organizations work together to protect them. Giant pandas eat bamboo shoots, bamboo leaves and some fruit. They live in the mountains of China and usually live alone. These cute black-and-white animals are loved by people all over the world. Black rhinos mainly live in eastern and southern Africa. They have two horns (角). The number of black rhinos has become smaller. These black rhinos are in great danger now. The snow leopard is a member of the cat family. With their thick fur, they live in the cold mountains of central Asia. However, they’re also facing danger because of human activities. Polar bears just look white, but they don’t have white fur (皮毛). They live in the Arctic (北极). Seals are their main food. But their living environment is getting worse. 1．Which of the following is probably food for giant pandas? A．Apples. B．Chocolate. C．Rice. D．Lions. 2．Where can people find black rhinos?

C．The number of black rhinos has increased greatly. D．Snow leopards and cats are in the same family. B The book The Call of the Forest: Tao Tao the Panda’s Journey Back to the Wild tells how Zhang Hemin helped Tao Tao, a captive-bred (圈养的) panda, return to nature successfully. Born in zoos, pandas can hardly live in the wild. Zhang Hemin, known as “the father of pandas”, has done lots of great work to solve the problem. Zhang made a strict and scientific training method. Different from traditional ways, young pandas receive mother-like training instead of being taught by human keepers. They live with their mothers and develop wild living abilities in half-wild areas, like looking for bamboo and protecting themselves. “We must create a world without humans around for pandas,” Zhang said. After years of practice, the pandas can live alone in the wild. Tao Tao, a two-year-old panda, finished all the training. On October 11, 2012, he was sent to Liziping Nature Reserve in Sichuan and began his real wild life. Zhang’s team used GPS to supervise him, so they could know where he went, what he ate and what dangers he faced. Luckily, Tao Tao got used to wild life quickly. He could find food, build safe hiding places and deal with natural dangers. Up to now, Tao Tao has still kept the record: He lives longer than any other captive-bred pandas in the wild. This result shows the training plan works perfectly. Thanks to Zhang’s work, 11 captive-bred pandas have returned to their natural home. His hard work successfully protects pandas and provides valuable experience for protecting wild animals around the world as well. 4．What is the new book about? A．How to keep baby pandas successfully. B．How to find half-wild areas for pandas. C．How to train human keepers for pandas. D．How to help a panda go back to nature. 5．What is special about Zhang’s training method? A．Young pandas can follow the method easily. B．Young pandas learn life abilities from mothers. C．Human keepers can offer pandas help in time. D．Human keepers can guide pandas to find bamboo. 6．What does the underlined word “supervise” probably mean? A．Watch. B．Feed. C．Change. D．Catch. 7．What is the writer’s attitude (态度) towards Zhang’s work? A．Doubtful. B．Worried. C．Thankful. D．Shocked. C Trees are one of the oldest plants on Earth. They keep the air clean, reduce noise pollution, make water cleaner, and provide food and building materials. Just like us, trees change a lot as they grow. At 1 to 3 years old, young trees learn how to defend themselves. For example, many trees grow thorns (刺) to stop animals from going near. At the age of 4, trees begin to grow very quickly and become strong enough to face many difficulties later in life. At the age of 15, trees become young adults. They grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruits. When a tree is 20 to 25 years old, it becomes a real adult. The tree reaches its largest size. The adult tree can give us shade (树荫), oxygen and natural beauty. It is a great place for us to have a rest or play games. With good care, the adult tree will go on to live healthily for many years. Little by little, trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, they still have an important place in nature. When a tree becomes hollow (空的) or part of it becomes dead, it becomes a home to small animals and a source (来源) of food for many other animals. Trees are very important in our lives. They help us and nature at every stage of their lives, even after they die. We should value and protect trees. 8．What does the underlined word “defend” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Feed. B．Hide. C．Clean. D．Protect. 9．Trees begin to produce fruits at the age of ________. A．one B．four C．fifteen D．twenty 10．Which is the right order of the life of a tree? ①It grows thorns.  ②It grows more slowly.  ③It grows older and dies. ④It becomes a real adult. ⑤It produces flowers and fruit. A．①②④⑤③ B．①②⑤④③ C．②④①⑤③ D．②⑤①④③ 11．What can we learn from the passage? A．A hollow tree can’t provide food for animals. B．A tree begins to grow quickly when it is an adult. C．Old trees can make great places for people to rest. D．An adult tree can live long and well with good care. D Have you ever noticed birds singing in the morning? Birds have their own special language, made up of calls, songs, and melodies (旋律). Birds make these sounds using a very small part in their throats called the syrinx (鸣管). Each sound has its meaning, helping birds communicate with one another. Some loud calls tell others that danger is near. Others are cries for help. Baby birds call for their mothers when they need food or protection. Although their calls are quiet, they can still be clearly heard near their homes. Even after leaving homes, small birds often continue using these calls—because mother is always there. Birds also use contact calls to check on friends, stay together, or share news about tasty food. Mid-flight calls are different. Many of these sounds are also highly musical. Scientists often use them to tell different kinds. So why do birds sing early in the morning? It’s a way of showing off their strength! Male birds sing early in the morning to show they are strong and healthy. Since birds usually feed during the day, the mornings are the time when they are hungriest and weakest. By singing at this time, they show they are full of energy and ready for action. These songs help them find partners and protect their living areas. Sweet birdsong has always touched people’s hearts. Many musicians, like Vivaldi and Beethoven were inspired (启发) by birds and used their melodies in their music. If you want to learn birdsong yourself, just go outside and listen carefully. Bring a handbook, and with some practice and patience, you can discover the secret of birdsong. 12．Which of the following is true about bird calls? A．Birds use loud calls to find food together. B．Baby birds stop calls after leaving mothers. C．Bird calls carry different messages and uses. D．Bird calls are easy for humans to understand. 13．Why do male birds sing early in the morning? A．To practice their songs for the day. B．To tell other birds where to find food. C．To wake up other animals in the forest. D．To show their strength and good health. 14．How might the writer show that birdsong inspires people? A．By mentioning musicians. B．By telling his own story. C．By comparing it with music. D．By asking us to listen to it. 15．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To teach how to keep birds as pets. B．To tell stories about famous musicians. C．To share interesting details about bird sounds. D．To explain why birds are important to the earth. 二、任务型阅读（共5题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面材料，从方框中所给的A-E五个选项中选择正确的选项(其中一项是多余选项)，将其序号填入第1-4小题，并回答第5小题。 Hug (拥抱) a tree? Recently, many people have shared their experience of hugging trees online, and they turned to trees to help with their stress. I wrapped my arms around it and rested my face on the trunk. I closed my eyes, took a few deep breaths and felt really calm during that moment. Hugging a tree is a different experience from hugging a person or an animal. Although it sounds strange, there is a science behind the act of tree-hugging. It can be explained by the “biophilia hypothesis” (亲生命假说). A US scientist Edward Wilson pointed it out in 1984. Humans’ love for nature is “in our DNA”. This idea helps to explain why people like natural, green views better than city views. Besides, spending time with trees can reduce your stress hormones (压力荷尔蒙) and make you feel relaxed. These oils protect trees from illnesses and germs. They are also good for human health, because they can make your immune system (免疫系统) stronger. Also, hugging a tree lets you take a close look at it. Hugging trees gives you a deeper connection (联系) to nature. You begin to enjoy nature more. A．In addition, trees give off some special oils. B．Because of this, you will want to help the environment.
