B篇
The Amazon rainforest is the world’s biggest. It is in South America. It is so wide that it covers a little more than half the size of China! The Amazon River runs through the rainforest. It’s the world’s second longest river. The Amazon covers much of Brazil. The green colour on the national flag (国旗) 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 grasslands in a few years.
Why is the Amazon rainforest “sick”? The Amazon is one of the world’s wettest places. But since 2005, three droughts have hit the rainforest. That was because of 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 kinds of activities made about 17% of the rainforest disappear.
________ The Amazon rainforest is like the “lungs” of our planet. The rich plants there take carbon dioxide (CO₂) out of the air and make oxygen. 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.
1. According to the passage, what is NOT the reason that makes the Amazon rainforest “sick”?
A. There are many forest fires. B. Climate change.
C. People cut down trees. D. Too many animals and plants live there.
2. What will happen if the Amazon rainforest dies?
A. People will lose their lungs. B. Many animals and plants will die.
C. We will feel colder. D. There will be more oxygen.
3. The underlined word “droughts” means “________” in Paragraph 3.
A. too little rain B. too cold weather C. too much rain D. too much fire
4. Which of the following statements about the Amazon rainforest is TRUE?
A. It is twice the size of China.
B. It is in North America.
C. It makes more than 20% of the planet’s oxygen.
D. More than 3 million kinds of plants live there.
5. Choose the best sentence to fill in the “________” in the passage.
A. Where is the Amazon rainforest?
B. Who lives in the Amazon rainforest?
C. How can we protect the Amazon rainforest?
D. What will happen if we lose the the Amazon rainforest?

二、完成句子
1. 天气不好,但明天会更糟。
The weather is bad today, but it will tomorrow.
【答案】① be ② worse
【解析】原句中“更糟”是关键词,表示“(变得)更糟”的短语是be worse。本句为一般将来时,will后接动词原形。
2. 许多人梦想有一天能去外太空旅行。
Many people dream of taking a trip to .
【答案】① outer ② space

A. I agree B. I disagree C. I don’t agree D. I don’t think so

【解析】句意:——我认为学生不应该打耳洞。——我同意。他们应该遵守校规。
考查情景交际。I agree我同意;I disagree我不同意;I don’t agree我不同意;I don’t think so我不这么认为。根据“They should follow the school rules.”可知,此处是赞同前者认为学生不应该打耳洞的观点。故选A。

A. Good idea B. No problem C. I’d love to D. That’s OK

考查情景交际。Good idea好主意,用于赞成对方的提议;No problem没问题,用于回应感谢或请求;I’d love to我很想去,常用于委婉拒绝邀请,表达主观意愿;That’s OK没关系,用于回应道歉或谢意。根据“But I have to help my mom with housework.”可知,答话者虽然主观想去,但因为要帮妈妈做家务而不得不拒绝。在英语交际中,委婉拒绝邀请时通常先用“I’d love to”表示意愿,再用but引出不能去的理由。故选C。
3. Coral reefs are facing more serious problems because ocean pollution is getting ________.

【解析】句意:天宫课堂是让学生们探索太空的好方法。
考查非谓语动词。exploring动名词;for explore错误搭配;to exploring错误搭配;to explore动词不定式。根据固定句型“a good way to do sth.做某事的好方法”可知,此处应使用动词不定式作后置定语。故选D。
5. — Why don’t we go to the newly-opened cinema to watch a movie this weekend?
—________ They say the seats there are too uncomfortable.
A. Sounds great! B. Better not. C. Why not? D. I can’t agree more.
【答案】B
【解析】句意:——这周末我们为什么不去新开的电影院看场电影呢?——最好别去。他们说那里的座位太不舒服了。
考查情景交际用语。Sounds great! 听起来很棒!;Better not 最好别(这样);Why not? 为什么不呢?;I can’t agree more.我完全同意。根据后文“They say the seats there are too uncomfortable.”可知,说话者对新电影院持否定态度,因此应选择表示不赞同或委婉拒绝的选项。故选B。
6. Planting more trees can help improve the ________ , but changing the global ________ takes time.
A. climate; weather B. environment; weather
C. weather; climate D. environment; climate
【答案】D
【解析】句意:种植更多的树可以帮助改善环境,但改变全球气候需要时间。

B篇
The Amazon rainforest is the world’s biggest. It is in South America. It is so wide that it covers a little more than half the size of China! The Amazon River runs through the rainforest. It’s the world’s second longest river. The Amazon covers much of Brazil. The green colour on the national flag (国旗) 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 grasslands in a few years.
Why is the Amazon rainforest “sick”? The Amazon is one of the world’s wettest places. But since 2005, three droughts have hit the rainforest. That was because of 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 kinds of activities made about 17% of the rainforest disappear.
________ The Amazon rainforest is like the “lungs” of our planet. The rich plants there take carbon dioxide (CO₂) out of the air and make oxygen. 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.
1. According to the passage, what is NOT the reason that makes the Amazon rainforest “sick”?
A. There are many forest fires. B. Climate change.
C. People cut down trees. D. Too many animals and plants live there.
2. What will happen if the Amazon rainforest dies?
A. People will lose their lungs. B. Many animals and plants will die.
C. We will feel colder. D. There will be more oxygen.
3. The underlined word “droughts” means “________” in Paragraph 3.
A. too little rain B. too cold weather C. too much rain D. too much fire
4. Which of the following statements about the Amazon rainforest is TRUE?
A. It is twice the size of China.
B. It is in North America.
C. It makes more than 20% of the planet’s oxygen.
D. More than 3 million kinds of plants live there.
5. Choose the best sentence to fill in the “________” in the passage.
A. Where is the Amazon rainforest?
B. Who lives in the Amazon rainforest?
C. How can we protect the Amazon rainforest?
D. What will happen if we lose the the Amazon rainforest?
【答案】1. D 2. B 3. A 4. C 5. D
【解析】本文介绍了亚马逊雨林的现状、面临的威胁,以及它对地球生态系统的重要性。
(1)题: 根据文章第三段可知,亚马逊雨林“生病”的原因包括气候变化(climate change)、干旱导致树木缺水(don’t have enough water)、容易发生火灾(catch fire)、人们砍伐树木(cut down trees)以及焚烧森林(burn the forest)。文中并未提及“居住在那里的动植物太多”是导致雨林生病的原因。
(2)题: 最后一段“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.”可知,如果雨林消失,许多依赖它生存的动植物将走向灭绝。
(3)题: 根据文章第三段画线词后的句子“The trees don’t have enough water to grow. What’s worse, as they become dry...”可知,树木没有足够的水生长且变得干燥,说明“droughts”指的是降雨过少导致的干旱,即“too little rain”。
(4)题: 第4段“They make more than 20% of the planet’s oxygen.”可知,亚马逊雨林产生地球上超过20%的氧气,该表述正确。
(5)题: 空格后的段落讲述了雨林作为“地球之肺”的作用,以及如果雨林消失,二氧化碳增加、地球变暖、动植物消失的后果。因此,用“What will happen if we lose the Amazon rainforest?”引出下文最为合适。
一、完成句子
1. (来源:江苏省淮安市2021年中考英语试题)我们最好不要对盲盒着迷,否则我们会不停地买。
We had better not blind boxes, or we them.
【答案】① be crazy about ② will keep on buying
【解析】be crazy about doing sth“痴迷于做某事”,had better是情态动词,后接动词原形;keep on doing sth“持续做某事”,buy“买”,分析句子可知,此处是含or的并列复合句,此处使用一般将来时,强调结果,所以使用will keep on buying 。故填be crazy about;will keep on buying。
