That’s collecting “rubbish”! They collect some things like milk tea cups and takeout (外卖) bags, because they plan to reuse them just like their grandparents who always save things. Think of it like a new kind of treasure hunt— turning “rubbish” into something useful! It’s all about living a simple (朴素的) and green life. Some young people share good ways to reuse these everyday things online. Luo Jiayi, a 20-year-old student, collects many takeout bags from his favourite drinks and meals. He used a bag to wrap (包装) gifts, turned a bag into a trash bag and turned a milk tea cup into a pencil case. “Saving isn’t about spending a little money or buying cheap things. It’s about saying no to waste,” said Luo. Luo’s classmate Lu Yunli shares the same hobby. She started collecting takeout bags in high school, and there are many takeout bags at her home. “I use beautiful takeout bags to carry my lunch to school. It brightens my day,” she said. “Who doesn’t love beautiful things? What’s more, they help save the earth.” 35. What kind of life do many young people live now? A. A tiring life. B. A green life. C.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了年轻人通过收集“垃圾”并重复利用来践行绿色生活的这种新的生活方式。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Many young people are helping out in a new way now.”和“It’s all about living a simple (朴素的) and green life.”可知，当代很多年轻人过着一种朴素而绿色的生活。选项B“绿色的生活”符合此句的语境。故选B。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Some young people share good ways to reuse these everyday things online.”和“He used a bag to wrap gifts, turned a bag into a trash bag and turned a milk tea cup into a pencil case.”可知，很多年轻人将很多东西循环使用，也就是再次使用。选项A“再次使用它们”符合此句的语境。故选A。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“‘Saving isn’t about spending a little money or buying cheap things.

Cathy is my best friend in my class. Here is a story about us. One day, Mr Smith gave us the result of a maths exam. I did badly in it. I felt so puzzled that I didn’t know what to do next. At lunchtime, I still stayed in the classroom. Suddenly Cathy said to me, “Linda, you look unhappy. Could you tell me why?” I had a look at her but said nothing. I knew Cathy got a good grade in the exam. She kept on asking me more questions. “Is it because of the exam? Do you need my help?” I kept quiet all the time. Then Cathy went out. After a while, I looked for my maths paper here and there, but I couldn’t find it. In the afternoon, Cathy came up to my desk and gave my maths paper back to me. I looked at it and got a big surprise. Cathy wrote down how to work out each problem on my paper. How kind she was! My face turned red. At that time, I held her hands and said, “Thank you, my friend!” Cathy and I are still good friends now. We both think our friendship will last long. 39.

I felt so puzzled that I didn’t know what to do next.”，琳达数学考得很差，不知道接下来该怎么做，能推断出她此时处于困惑的状态，因此“puzzled”的中文意思是“困惑的”。 【40题详解】 根据文章第2段“Is it because of the exam? Do you need my help?”，凯茜不断询问琳达的状态，是想确认她是不是因为考试难过，想要给琳达提供帮助，所以凯茜问问题是为了帮琳达一把。 【41题详解】 根据文章第3段“I looked at it and got a big surprise.”，琳达从凯茜手中接过自己的数学试卷时，感到十分惊讶。 【42题详解】 文章开篇点明“Here is a story about us”，全文围绕琳达和好朋友凯茜之间发生的互助故事展开，讲述了二人友谊的温暖，因此最适合的标题是“A Story Between Cathy and Me”。 D Explorers travel the world to protect our planet and share its beauty. Jane Goodall is a famous explorer who talks to chimps. One day in 1960, she saw a chimp using a stick (枝条) to get white ants, showing that they can use tools. She named the chimps and discovered they laughed, hugged, and felt sad too, like humans. This changed how people saw animals. Jane encourages people to care for nature and respect all living things. James Cameron is not only a famous filmmaker but also a deep-sea explorer. In 2012, he went to the deepest part of the sea, reaching a depth of 10,908 metres. There, he found strange new sea animals. His films, like Secrets of the Whales, show us the beauty of ocean life. James encourages people to protect the seas and understand their importance. Li Jing loves birds, especially the tiny Spoon-billed Sandpipers (勺嘴鹬). There are only about 600 of them in the world now. They travel almost 10,000 kilometres every year, but their homes are disappearing. Li and her team have spent over ten years watching them, protecting their homes and teaching children why wetlands matter. “If we save the birds, we save the earth,” she says. These explorers’ stories tell us to connect with nature and take action for a good future. 43. What did Jane Goodall discover about chimps? A. They can speak human languages. B. They are like humans in some ways. C. They can create tools. D. They are stronger than other animals. 44. What does James Cameron’s exploration of the deep sea show us? A. All filmmakers should be explorers. B. The sea is a dangerous place. C. The sea still has much for people to discover. D. Whales are the most important sea animals. 45. What is the main problem facing the Spoon-billed Sandpipers? A. They fly too far. B. They are too small. C. They are in danger from human hunting. D. They are losing their homes. 46. What common message do all explorers’ stories share? A. Nature is full of breathtaking landscapes. B. People should learn about and protect nature. C. Films about nature are interesting and meaningful. D. Animals are smarter than we think. 【答案】43. B 44. C 45. D 46. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了珍·古道尔、詹姆斯·卡梅隆、李静三位不同领域的探索者的经历与环保行动，传递了亲近自然、保护自然的理念，呼吁人们行动起来守护地球的美好未来。 【43题详解】 根据文章第一段“she saw a chimp using a stick to get white ants, showing that they can use tools. She named the chimps and discovered they laughed, hugged, and felt sad too, like humans.”可知，黑猩猩会使用工具，还和人类一样具备笑、拥抱、悲伤等情绪与行为，说明它们在某些方面和人类相似。 【44题详解】 根据文章第二段“In 2012, he went to the deepest part of the sea, reaching a depth of 10,908 metres. There, he found strange new sea animals.”可推知，深海中存在人类尚未知晓的生物，说明海洋仍有许多内容等待人们去探索发现。 【45题详解】 根据文章第三段“They travel almost 10,000km every year, but their homes are disappearing.”可知，勺嘴鹬面临的主要问题是它们的栖息地正在消失，即它们正失去自己的家园。 【46题详解】 根据文章最后一段“These explorers’ stories tell us to connect with nature and take action for a good future.”，结合三位探索者分别围绕野生动物、海洋、湿地鸟类开展的探索与保护行动可知，所有故事传递的共同信息是人们应当了解并保护自然。 第二节 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 Sometimes parents don’t know if they should ask their children to do chores.

Or do you think it’s better to travel with friends? If you’re still deciding, please read on. Traveling alone really shows you what you’re made of and helps you find the inner strength (内心的力量) you didn’t know you have. And it also gives you time to think and learn. It’s easy to think that traveling alone is lonely (孤独的). Although that may sometimes be true, you’re hardly ever alone. When you travel as a one-person team, you can enjoy the most interesting part of travel—talking with the locals (当地人) and meeting travelers from all over the world. In fact, traveling to know about the world is not easy. There’s lots of information to look up, tickets to buy, and things like these. And there’s another thing to worry about: Things can and often do go wrong. One of the greatest things about traveling with friends is being able to help each other. It’s true that traveling with others can give you a sense of safety (安全感). You know that if you get lost or have things lost, there’s someone to hold your hand when you try to report it to the police in another country. There’s no right or wrong way to travel. Whether you travel alone or with friends, it’s up to you. 71. What is the most interesting part of traveling alone? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 72. What does the writer think of traveling to know about the world? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 73. What is good about traveling with friends? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 74. Do you like to travel alone or with your friends? Why? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】71. Talking with the locals and meeting travelers from all over the world. 72. It’s not easy./It’s difficult. 73. You can help each other and traveling with friends gives you a sense of safety. 74. I like to travel alone better, because I can become more independent by dealing with everything by myself./I like to travel with friends, because I can share things with them and I have at least one person to depend on. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要对比介绍独自旅行和与朋友结伴旅行各自的优点，说明旅行方式没有对错，由个人自己决定。 【71题详解】 根据第三段中“When you travel as a one-person team, you can enjoy the most interesting part of travel—talking with the locals and meeting travelers from all over the world.”可知，独自旅行时，旅行最有意思的部分就是和当地人交谈以及结识来自世界各地的旅行者。答案为原文具体信息，直接提取。 【72题详解】 根据第四段中“In fact, traveling to know about the world is not easy.”可知，作者认为通过旅行去了解世界并不容易。答案为原文具体信息，直接提取，也可将“not easy”改为同义表达“difficult”。 【73题详解】 根据第四段中“One of the greatest things about traveling with friends is being able to help each other.”以及第五段中“It's true that traveling with others can give you a sense of safety.”可知，和朋友旅行可以互相帮助，还能带来安全感。答案为原文具体信息，适当提取整合。 【74题详解】 本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一，任选一种旅行方式，理由贴合短文内容、语法正确即可。参考答案为：I like to travel alone better, because I can become more independent by dealing with everything by myself./I like to travel with friends, because I can share things with them and I have at least one person to depend on.  七、书面表达（满分20分） 75. 假如你是辽宁某国际学校自然探索社团的成员。该社团开展了以“Journey through nature”为题的征文活动。请你根据提示，用英语写一篇短文向本次征文活动投稿，记述一次让你印象最深的户外活动，并分享你的所见所闻。 提示： 要求：（1）包含提示信息，可适当发挥； （2）语句通顺，语法正确，行文连贯，书写工整； （3）70词左右（开头已给出，不计入总词数）。 I’m happy to share my favorite hiking experience with you.

Think of it like a new kind of treasure hunt— turning “rubbish” into something useful! It’s all about living a simple (朴素的) and green life. Some young people share good ways to reuse these everyday things online. Luo Jiayi, a 20-year-old student, collects many takeout bags from his favourite drinks and meals. He used a bag to wrap (包装) gifts, turned a bag into a trash bag and turned a milk tea cup into a pencil case. “Saving isn’t about spending a little money or buying cheap things. It’s about saying no to waste,” said Luo. Luo’s classmate Lu Yunli shares the same hobby. She started collecting takeout bags in high school, and there are many takeout bags at her home. “I use beautiful takeout bags to carry my lunch to school. It brightens my day,” she said. “Who doesn’t love beautiful things? What’s more, they help save the earth.” 35. What kind of life do many young people live now? A. A tiring life. B. A green life. C.

Cathy is my best friend in my class. Here is a story about us. One day, Mr Smith gave us the result of a maths exam. I did badly in it. I felt so puzzled that I didn’t know what to do next. At lunchtime, I still stayed in the classroom. Suddenly Cathy said to me, “Linda, you look unhappy. Could you tell me why?” I had a look at her but said nothing. I knew Cathy got a good grade in the exam. She kept on asking me more questions. “Is it because of the exam? Do you need my help?” I kept quiet all the time. Then Cathy went out. After a while, I looked for my maths paper here and there, but I couldn’t find it. In the afternoon, Cathy came up to my desk and gave my maths paper back to me. I looked at it and got a big surprise. Cathy wrote down how to work out each problem on my paper. How kind she was! My face turned red.

This changed how people saw animals. Jane encourages people to care for nature and respect all living things. James Cameron is not only a famous filmmaker but also a deep-sea explorer. In 2012, he went to the deepest part of the sea, reaching a depth of 10,908 metres. There, he found strange new sea animals. His films, like Secrets of the Whales, show us the beauty of ocean life. James encourages people to protect the seas and understand their importance. Li Jing loves birds, especially the tiny Spoon-billed Sandpipers (勺嘴鹬). There are only about 600 of them in the world now. They travel almost 10,000 kilometres every year, but their homes are disappearing. Li and her team have spent over ten years watching them, protecting their homes and teaching children why wetlands matter. “If we save the birds, we save the earth,” she says. These explorers’ stories tell us to connect with nature and take action for a good future. 43. What did Jane Goodall discover about chimps? A. They can speak human languages. B.

Or do you think it’s better to travel with friends? If you’re still deciding, please read on. Traveling alone really shows you what you’re made of and helps you find the inner strength (内心的力量) you didn’t know you have. And it also gives you time to think and learn. It’s easy to think that traveling alone is lonely (孤独的). Although that may sometimes be true, you’re hardly ever alone. When you travel as a one-person team, you can enjoy the most interesting part of travel—talking with the locals (当地人) and meeting travelers from all over the world. In fact, traveling to know about the world is not easy. There’s lots of information to look up, tickets to buy, and things like these. And there’s another thing to worry about: Things can and often do go wrong. One of the greatest things about traveling with friends is being able to help each other. It’s true that traveling with others can give you a sense of safety (安全感). You know that if you get lost or have things lost, there’s someone to hold your hand when you try to report it to the police in another country. There’s no right or wrong way to travel. Whether you travel alone or with friends, it’s up to you. 71.
