First introduced by journalist Dan Bloom around 2007, cli-fi is a genre of novels with climate change as a major theme. According to Bookzee, sales for environmental‑themed fiction have continued to grow in recent years. Instead of showing the end of the world, cli‑fi focuses on the change of the warming world a few years from now, instead of a faraway future. Writers explore how people deal with climate disasters. This allows readers to understand ecological problems in a more personal way. According to Bookzee, people are also using cli-fi to imagine how they would deal with climate-related challenges. This rise follows the first half of 2026, which saw record‑breaking heatwaves and natural disasters such as the flood in Nepal. Greenpeace reported that 2015‑2025 have been the hottest 11 years on record, with more countries facing extreme weather. The first 2026 World Risk Poll also showed that global awareness (全球意识) of the dangers of climate change has increased greatly. Three in four adults are personally worried about climate change, the highest ever recorded by the poll (调查). Four in 10 adults say climate change is a “very serious threat” to their country. This shows the growing anxiety that cli-fi taps into. As climate change becomes more of a concern, this genre has become a way for readers to process their hopes and fears, reported Bookzee. These books can also serve as powerful reminders. Bloom noted, “Climate fiction cannot educate people in terms of science facts and statistics (数据).” Instead, he said, “through the emotions involved in reading a novel”, readers may feel more encouraged to do something about these problems. 1. What are cli-fi novels about? 2. When are cli-fi stories usually set? 3. According to Bookzee, what do readers imagine while reading cli-fi? 4. Why has cli-fi become popular, according to Paragraph 4? 5. In what ways do cli-fi novels help readers deal with climate change? 长难句分析 1. This rise follows the first half of 2026, which saw record‑breaking heatwaves and natural disasters such as the flood in Nepal.气候小说热度上涨的背景，是2026上半年出现破纪录的热浪以及尼泊尔洪水等自然灾害。 该句为which引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是the first half of 2026；saw 此处是拟人用法，字面“见证”，翻译为“（某段时间）发生了……”；record-breaking adj.破纪录的 2. Bloom noted, “Climate fiction cannot educate people in terms of science facts and statistics .” Instead, he said, “through the emotions involved in reading a novel”, readers may feel more encouraged to do something about these problems.布鲁姆指出：“气候小说不能依靠科学事实与数据来教育大众。”相反，他说：“读者在阅读小说的过程中产生情感共鸣后，或许会更有行动意愿，为解决这些问题做点什么。” in terms of 固定短语：在……方面，依据;involved in reading a novel 过去分词作后置定语修饰emotions：阅读小说所带来的情感;feel encouraged to do 受到鼓舞去做某事 译文：“气候小说”：用故事探索气候危机 虽然科幻故事一直广受喜爱，但一种全新的文学流派正在兴起：气候小说，简称cli-fi。气候小说由记者丹·布鲁姆于2007年左右首次提出，是以气候变化作为核心主题的一类小说。据Bookzee的数据，近年来以环境为主题的小说销量持续上涨。 气候小说并不会描写世界末日，而是聚焦于不远的将来，逐渐变暖的世界所发生的种种变化。作家们探讨人类该如何应对气候灾难。这能让读者以更切身的方式理解生态问题。Bookzee表示，人们也借助气候小说，设想自己该如何应对各类气候相关挑战。 气候小说热度上涨的背景，是2026上半年出现破纪录的热浪以及尼泊尔洪水等自然灾害。绿色和平组织报告称，2015至2025年是有记录以来最热的11年，越来越多国家正遭遇极端天气。 首份2026全球风险调查还显示，全球民众对气候危机危害的认知大幅提升。四分之三的成年人个人十分担忧气候变化，该数据创下这项调查有史以来的最高纪录。每10位成年人里就有4位认为气候变化对本国是“十分严重的威胁”。这也体现出气候小说所回应的、日益加剧的气候焦虑。 据Bookzee介绍，随着气候变化越来越受到重视，这类作品成为读者梳理自身希望与恐惧的一种途径。这类书籍也能起到有力的警示作用。布鲁姆指出：“气候小说不能依靠科学事实与数据来教育大众。”相反，他说：“读者在阅读小说的过程中产生情感共鸣后，或许会更有行动意愿，为解决这些问题做点什么。” Passage B 阿拉善风景环线 Alshaa’s New Scenic Circuit offers a journey through desert landscapes and Mongolian heritage. A vast land of deserts, grasslands and ancient traditions, Alshaa League in North China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (内蒙古自治区) is opening a new chapter in tourism. The region has recently introduced a 4,000 kilometer scenic circuit route, aiming to connect its three major regions and create a large-scale travel corridor (走廊) that combines adventure, culture and natural exploration. The new route links Alshaa Left Banner, Alshaa Right Banner and Ejine Banner, three areas known for their unique landscapes and rich cultural heritage. Unlike traditional sightseeing trips that focus on a single destination, the circuit encourages travelers to experience the region as a whole, from impressive desert scenery to centuries old customs. One of the route’s biggest attractions is its connection with some of Alshaa’s most famous natural wonders. Visitors can travel through the Tengger Desert and the Badain Jaran Desert, explore deep canyons, admire the golden poplar forests (杨树林) of Ejine, and discover historic sites hidden across the vast landscape. The journey also includes space-related landmarks, reflecting the area’s role in China’s space exploration activities. Beyond its natural beauty, the circuit highlights the cultural identity of the Mongolian communities in the region. Travelers can enjoy traditional performances, experience local festivals, watch wrestling (摔跤) competitions, and learn about handicrafts such as embroidery (刺绣) and carpet weaving. Food is also an important part of the experience, with local markets offering specialties including roasted lamb and camel milk products. The route is designed to attract both domestic and international visitors, especially those interested in self driving tours, camping and outdoor adventures. During the launch period, a variety of activities, including off road events and cultural performances, were organized to showcase the region’s tourism potential. For Alshaa, the new scenic circuit is more than just a travel route. It stands for an effort to transform its natural advantages and cultural resources into a sustainable tourism industry. By bringing together deserts, traditions and modern experiences, the region hopes to offer travelers a deeper understanding of the beauty and diversity of Inner Mongolia. 1．What is the purpose of the 4,000 kilometer scenic circuit route?

It’s the Yangtze finless porpoise (长江江豚), a national protected animal found only in the Yangtze River. It has a round body and looks much like a pig. It is very cute and as smart as a 3-to-5-year-old child. It can eat up to 10% of its body weight every day and can live for about 20 years. Sadly, its population dropped from about 2,700 in the early 1990s to around 1,800 by 2006. The rising number of boats produces loud noise and river pollution, while overfishing makes it hard for the Yangtze finless porpoise to find enough food. To solve this problem, the government has set up the river and lake chief system (河湖长制). This prevents river pollution and cuts down harmful human activities. A special hotline, 12314, is also open for people to report environmental problems. Besides, a 10-year fishing ban (禁渔令) has been on since 2021 to stop fishing for money. It helps provide enough food for Yangtze finless porpoises. Thanks to these efforts, the number of Yangtze finless porpoises rose from 1,012 in 2017 to 1,249 in 2022. Other important animals, such as the Chinese sturgeon (中华鲟), are also returning. From 2021 to 2024, scientists found 344 kinds of local fish in the Yangtze River, 36 more than the number found between 2017 and 2020. 16．What can we learn about the Yangtze finless porpoise from Paragraph 1? A．It looks like a panda. B．It is as smart as a baby under 3. C．It can live as long as 30 years. D．It only lives in the Yangtze River. 17．How does the government save the Yangtze finless porpoise? ①It cuts down boats travelling on the Yangtze River. ②It has set up the river and lake chief system. ③It provides more local fish for porpoises to eat. ④It stops fishing for money with a fishing ban. A．①② B．②③ C．③④ D．②④ 18．Which of the following about the Yangtze finless porpoise is TRUE? A．It can eat 10% of its body weight every meal. B．There were 36 more porpoises from 2021 to 2024. C．The fishing ban for them has been on for 10 years. D．Its number in 2022 was smaller than that in the 1990s. 19．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Reasons for the drop in porpoises’ population. B．The Yangtze finless porpoise and its protection. C．The living habits of the Yangtze finless porpoise. D．Different kinds of fish living in the Yangtze River. 模拟演练 Passage 1 A little river ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert. “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no trouble 1 it,” the river thought. As she started, she found 2 slowly disappearing into the sand and she felt terrible. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean,” she said sadly. At that moment, a voice said, “I can give you a 3 . If a breeze (微风) can go across the desert, so can you.” It was the voice of the desert. But 4 little river answered, “That’s because a breeze can fly, but I can’t.” “That’s because you can’t give up what you are now. Let yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the breeze, 5 you can reach the ocean,” the desert said. The river felt very 6 and said, “No! No! If so, I won’t be myself anymore.” She couldn’t accept the advice. “The breeze can carry the vapor across the desert. Later the vapor will fall down as rain. The rain will become a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature 7 the same.” 8 hearing these words, the little river went into the open arms of the breeze.

The flowers 13 the desert in pink and purple, with small areas of yellow, red, blue, and white. Tourists from all over Chile came to see the show in 14 . Most of the flowers 15 by November 16 the desert heated up again. Some lasted through December. “It’s one of those 17 scenes you have to take advantage of,” said Maritza Barrera, who 18 six hours with her two kids to see the flowers. “It’s more surprising than I could have imagined.” “When the rainwater is 19 , the seeds wake up, grow, and then bloom,” Victor Ardiles told the reporter. Ardiles is the chief curator (馆长) of botany at Chile’s National Museum of Natural History.

The Siberian crane breeds (繁殖) in northeast Siberia in Russia and flies to Poyang Lake for the winter in East China’s Jiangxi Province. About 95 percent of the birds spend the season in Poyang. Qian Fawen, a research professor from the National Bird Banding Centre of China, said that Poyang’s water levels decide whether it is suitable for the birds to live there. However, climate change has made the levels change often. “In some years, the lake experiences floods; in others, it experiences droughts. Both of these situations create food shortages in the cranes’ living area,” he said. The Siberian crane is listed as seriously endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List. “We need to protect their living area, which is mainly wetland, so that we can protect them,” Qian said. In the recently announced National Action Plan for the Protection of Bird Migration Channels (2021—2035),1,140 places in China were considered as important breeding grounds, wintering grounds and staying stops, including Poyang and the Yellow River wetland in Ningxia. The plan said that the government should watch and count the number of migratory birds and pay farmers for losses caused by the birds. Since China joined the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands in 1992, it has designated(指定)202,600 hectares of wetland as Wetlands of International Importance. They store and clean water, keep all kinds of living things, help store floods and prevent droughts. According to a plan announced by the central government in October, by 2025, China will have protected 55 percent of its wetlands. After the Wetlands Protection Law, the nation’s first law to protect wetlands, was introduced on June 1, 2022, complete protection was strengthened. The law clearly explained what the government should do and introduced strict punishment for people who destroy wetland areas. It limits building at important national wetlands and it doesn’t allow harmful activities, including using them as farmlands, leaving wastewater everywhere, harvesting and fishing too much. Key nature reserve management offices in China have reported more birds wintering in the nation’s wetlands, including some new rare kinds. ________ 21．What can we learn from Paragraph 2 to Paragraph 4? A．About 95 percent of the Siberian cranes spend their winter in Poyang Lake. B．Climate change has little influence on the Siberian cranes’ living area in Poyang. C．The Siberian cranes will live in Poyang all year round if the wetland is protected. D．Water levels decide that Poyang Lake isn’t suitable for the Siberian cranes to live in. 22．Which of the following behaviors are right at important wetlands? ①building houses ②making farmlands ③limiting fishing ④leaving wastewater ⑤watching birds A．①③ B．②④ C．③⑤ D．②⑤ 23．What does this passage mainly tell us?

Passage 4       ① Around Shanghai, Songlin Farm, a large pig farm, is showing the world that modern farming doesn’t have to harm the environment. ② In the past, animal waste from large farms often caused problems for water, air, and nearby land. However, this farm has found a greener way. It uses a special, “closed-loop (闭环)” system to turn pig waste into fertilizer (肥料) and green energy. ③ The key to the system is a process called anaerobic digestion (厌氧消化). The farm collects pig waste through pipes and sends it directly into special tanks without oxygen (O₂). There, the waste is broken down and produces biogas and biogas slurry (沼气和沼液). Since the waste moves through pipes and tanks, it is less possible to pollute the ground or the air. ④ After that, the two products are used in different ways. The biogas is cleaned and turned into a kind of green gas. Part of it is sent into Shanghai’s city gas pipes. It is reported to be the first project of its kind in the city. The biogas slurry, on the other hand, becomes a natural fertilizer. It is used on about 867 hm² of nearby farmland and helps save around 2 million yuan in fertilizer costs each year. ⑤ The system also helps vegetables grow better. In the farm’s vegetable area, workers use biogas slurry on vegetables such as tomatoes and potatoes. Carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the biogas-cleaning process is also used as a fertilizer. According to the farm, this can increase vegetable production by about 20 percent. ⑥ In this way, the farm creates a circle of pig waste, biogas, fertilizer, and vegetables. Experts believe this model can be used in other places and may help cities move closer to zero-waste development. It shows that with the help of science, even waste can become part of a greener future. 25．Why does the writer list numbers in Paragraph 4? A．To show the farm is very large and quite wealthy. B．To suggest how difficult it is to use biogas slurry. C．To make the benefits more believable and clearer. D．To compare Songlin Farm with other special farms. 26.Which picture can best show the use of the “closed-loop” system? A． B． C． D． 27．Which of the following shows the use of this system? A．Change animal waste into gas for heating. B．Use clean water to produce electric power. C．Clean factory waste and pour it out safely. D．Plant more trees to improve air quality in cities. 28．What’s the writer’s main purpose of introducing the Songlin farm? A．To explain how the biogas is made from pig waste. B．To show a useful example for greener farming today. C．To describe different methods used on modern farms. D．To tell us that only large farms can help reduce pollution. Passage 5 阅读文章，用恰当的短语或句子补全概要。补全部分总词数不超过30词，不能照抄原文连续超过3个词。 Food shortage is a big problem in the world. Right now, there are more than 1 billion hungry people in the world. Can you imagine many children go to sleep with an empty stomach, and many even die of hunger each year? What caused food shortage? First, there have been more disasters recently. This is bad for farmers and hurts their ability to grow food. Also, a growing population makes feeding everyone more difficult. Another big reason is food waste. Most people don’t realize how much food they throw away every day. Sometimes we cook too much, or we don’t use it before it goes bad. The average person throws away 50 kg of food every year. More than one third of all food produced worldwide goes to waste each year, according to the UN. That is 1.3 billion tons of good food being wasted. If the wasted food was saved, it could feed lots of people. The food wasted in Europe could feed 200 million people, and the food wasted in Latin America could feed 300 million people. So think twice next time you want to throw away extra food on your plate. By cutting down food waste, we could also help put food on the empty plate of some hungry children. It’s necessary for people to remember not to waste food. That’s why Oct. 16 is set up by the UN as World Food Day. How to reduce food waste? Do not order too much at a restaurant. Only order as much as you can eat. If you cannot eat all the food you ordered, take the rest of it home. Don’t be too picky (挑剔) about food. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it. Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don’t buy food that is more than you can eat, especially vegetables and fruit. Food shortage is a serious problem. Many children go to sleep hungry and even 29 every year. 30 are disasters, a growing population, and above all, food waste. World Food Day is set up by the UN 31 . What can we do? We should 32 at a restaurant, take leftovers home, not be too picky, and avoid buying too much food. Passage 6 Yin Yuzhen is a great desert guardian in Inner Mongolia. For more than 40 years, she has fought against the cruel sand in the Mu Us Desert (毛乌素沙漠), turning large areas of desert into green forests. When Yin Yuzhen first moved to the desert in the 1980s, she was shocked by the terrible environment. “One strong wind a year, from spring to winter,” she once said. Sand hit her face like knives, and the small house she lived in was often buried under sand at night. She decided to change her life by planting trees. In 1986, Yin sold her only sheep to buy 600 young trees. Day after day, she planted them with a simple steel stick, watered them carefully, and covered their roots with sand to keep them safe. But a big storm came soon, and most of the trees died. She cried, but she never gave up. She tried again and again, and slowly learned which trees could live in the desert. With years of hard work, nearly 70,000 mu of desert became lively woodland. Her moving story reached Ronald Sakolsky, a foreign friend. In 1999, Ronald Sakolsky raised 5,000 dollars to support her tree-planting work. A year later, he came to visit Yin Yuzhen in the desert. The two made a warm green promise, “We will meet again in this forest and plant more trees together.” Twenty-six years passed. The 5,000 dollars grew into over 50,000 trees, and the desert became a sea of green. In 2026, Yin Yuzhen posted a video online to look for her old friend. When they got in touch again, both of them were excited. They still hoped to keep their promise to plant more trees together. 33．How long has Yin Yuzhen been working to fight against the desert? 34．What does the underlined part “The two” in Paragraph 3 refer to? 35．Use a word to describe Ronald Sakolsky according to the passage. 36．What spirit can you learn from Yin Yuzhen? Please find out one example from the passage to support your idea. 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 1 / 22 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 4 Amazing Plants and Animals人与自然 话题阅读精练 板块 语篇 题型 体裁 词数 内容简介 时文阅读 Passage1 任务型阅读 说明文 211 “气候小说”：用故事探索气候危机 Passage2 阅读理解 说明文 278 介绍内蒙古阿拉善新推出的4000公里风景环线，涵盖路线连接区域、自然景观、蒙古文化特色及可持续发展目标。 真题示例 Passage1 完形填空 记叙文 189 讲述Bobbie潜水发现海洋污染，发明装置清理垃圾，成功迈出保护海洋的第一步的故事，旨在倡导人们关注环保。 Passage2 阅读理解 说明文 168 介绍长江江豚的外形、习性等基本特征，说明其数量下降的原因，列举政府保护长江江豚的相关措施，并介绍保护工作取得的成效。 模拟演练 Passage1 语法选择 记叙文 205 讲述一条小河穿越沙漠的故事。沙漠建议小河变成水汽随风而过，小河最终接受建议到达海洋，感悟人生哲理。 Passage2 完形填空 说明文 202 讲述阿塔卡马沙漠花开的奇观，解释雨水充足时种子才会萌发开花，多种条件共同作用才能造就这一奇特景象。 Passage3 阅读理解 说明文 204 介绍气候变化给西伯利亚鹤的生存区域带来警告，以及中国为保护湿地和候鸟迁徙通道所采取的行动计划和法律法规。 Passage4 阅读理解 说明文 218 介绍上海周边的松林农场运用闭环系统处理猪粪，实现废弃物资源化利用、环保增收的新型养殖模式。 Passage5 概要补全 说明文 191 讲述全球粮食短缺问题，分析成因，介绍世界粮食日，并给出减少食物浪费的办法。 Passage6 任务型阅读 记叙文 201 讲述内蒙古治沙英雄殷玉珍40多年来坚持在沙漠种树治沙，并将大片沙漠变成绿洲的感人故事，以及她与外国友人赛考斯之间关于种树的绿色约定。 时文阅读 话题谚语小知识 1.Nature does not cheat us; those who cheat us are ourselves forever. 大自然从来不欺骗我们，欺骗我们的永远是我们自己。 2.Only by obeying nature can we conquer nature. 只有服从大自然，才能战胜大自然。 3.Nature is a kind mother, and also a cold butcher. 大自然是善良的慈母，同时也是冷酷的屠夫。 4.We often only appreciate nature and rarely consider living in harmony with it.我们往往只欣赏自然，很少考虑与自然共生存。 5.When humanity cheers for its victory over nature, it is the beginning of nature's punishment for humanity. 当人类欢呼对自然的胜利之时，也就是自然对人类惩罚的开始。 6.Lucid waters and lush mountains are indelible assets.绿水青山就是金山银山。 7.When the sky is red in the morning, sailors take warning.

First introduced by journalist Dan Bloom around 2007, cli-fi is a genre of novels with climate change as a major theme. According to Bookzee, sales for environmental‑themed fiction have continued to grow in recent years. Instead of showing the end of the world, cli‑fi focuses on the change of the warming world a few years from now, instead of a faraway future. Writers explore how people deal with climate disasters. This allows readers to understand ecological problems in a more personal way. According to Bookzee, people are also using cli-fi to imagine how they would deal with climate-related challenges. This rise follows the first half of 2026, which saw record‑breaking heatwaves and natural disasters such as the flood in Nepal. Greenpeace reported that 2015‑2025 have been the hottest 11 years on record, with more countries facing extreme weather. The first 2026 World Risk Poll also showed that global awareness (全球意识) of the dangers of climate change has increased greatly. Three in four adults are personally worried about climate change, the highest ever recorded by the poll (调查). Four in 10 adults say climate change is a “very serious threat” to their country. This shows the growing anxiety that cli-fi taps into. As climate change becomes more of a concern, this genre has become a way for readers to process their hopes and fears, reported Bookzee. These books can also serve as powerful reminders. Bloom noted, “Climate fiction cannot educate people in terms of science facts and statistics (数据).” Instead, he said, “through the emotions involved in reading a novel”, readers may feel more encouraged to do something about these problems. 1. What are cli-fi novels about? 2. When are cli-fi stories usually set? 3. According to Bookzee, what do readers imagine while reading cli-fi? 4. Why has cli-fi become popular, according to Paragraph 4? 5. In what ways do cli-fi novels help readers deal with climate change? 长难句分析 1. This rise follows the first half of 2026, which saw record‑breaking heatwaves and natural disasters such as the flood in Nepal.气候小说热度上涨的背景，是2026上半年出现破纪录的热浪以及尼泊尔洪水等自然灾害。 该句为which引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是the first half of 2026；saw 此处是拟人用法，字面“见证”，翻译为“（某段时间）发生了……”；record-breaking adj.破纪录的 2. Bloom noted, “Climate fiction cannot educate people in terms of science facts and statistics .” Instead, he said, “through the emotions involved in reading a novel”, readers may feel more encouraged to do something about these problems.布鲁姆指出：“气候小说不能依靠科学事实与数据来教育大众。”相反，他说：“读者在阅读小说的过程中产生情感共鸣后，或许会更有行动意愿，为解决这些问题做点什么。” in terms of 固定短语：在……方面，依据;involved in reading a novel 过去分词作后置定语修饰emotions：阅读小说所带来的情感;feel encouraged to do 受到鼓舞去做某事 【答案】1. They are about climate change.2. They are usually set a few years from now. 3. They imagine how they would deal with climate-related challenges. 4. Because the anxiety about climate change is growing./ Because more people are worried about climate change and see it as a serious threat. 5. They help readers process their hopes and fears, serve as reminders, and encourage them to take action. 【详解】1. They are about climate change. 定位原文第一段 cli‑fi is a genre of novels with climate change as a major theme.major theme 意为“主题”，说明 cli-fi 这类小说以气候变化为主要内容。 2. They are usually set a few years from now. 定位原文第二段 cli‑fi focuses on the change of the warming world a few years from now, instead of a faraway future.be set 在这里表示（故事）以……为背景、设定在（某个时间）；a few years from now 不远的将来，而不是遥远未来。 3. They imagine how they would deal with climate-related challenges. 定位原文第二段 According to Bookzee, people are also using cli‑fi to imagine how they would deal with climate‑related challenges.deal with 应对，climate-related challenges 气候相关挑战，句子可以直接提取作为答案。 4.Because the anxiety about climate change is growing./ Because more people are worried about climate change and see it as a serious threat. 第4段数据表明大量成年人担忧气候变化，气候焦虑日益增长。原文 This shows the growing anxiety that cli‑fi taps into. 以及调查结果说明大众越来越担心气候威胁，催生了这类小说的热度。 5.They help readers process their hopes and fears, serve as reminders, and encourage them to take action. 定位文章最后一段 this genre has become a way for readers to process their hopes and fears…These books can also serve as powerful reminders…readers may feel more encouraged to do something about these problems. 将三点信息合并，提炼出答案。 译文：“气候小说”：用故事探索气候危机 虽然科幻故事一直广受喜爱，但一种全新的文学流派正在兴起：气候小说，简称cli-fi。气候小说由记者丹·布鲁姆于2007年左右首次提出，是以气候变化作为核心主题的一类小说。据Bookzee的数据，近年来以环境为主题的小说销量持续上涨。 气候小说并不会描写世界末日，而是聚焦于不远的将来，逐渐变暖的世界所发生的种种变化。作家们探讨人类该如何应对气候灾难。这能让读者以更切身的方式理解生态问题。Bookzee表示，人们也借助气候小说，设想自己该如何应对各类气候相关挑战。 气候小说热度上涨的背景，是2026上半年出现破纪录的热浪以及尼泊尔洪水等自然灾害。绿色和平组织报告称，2015至2025年是有记录以来最热的11年，越来越多国家正遭遇极端天气。 首份2026全球风险调查还显示，全球民众对气候危机危害的认知大幅提升。四分之三的成年人个人十分担忧气候变化，该数据创下这项调查有史以来的最高纪录。每10位成年人里就有4位认为气候变化对本国是“十分严重的威胁”。这也体现出气候小说所回应的、日益加剧的气候焦虑。 据Bookzee介绍，随着气候变化越来越受到重视，这类作品成为读者梳理自身希望与恐惧的一种途径。这类书籍也能起到有力的警示作用。布鲁姆指出：“气候小说不能依靠科学事实与数据来教育大众。”相反，他说：“读者在阅读小说的过程中产生情感共鸣后，或许会更有行动意愿，为解决这些问题做点什么。” Passage B 阿拉善风景环线 Alshaa’s New Scenic Circuit offers a journey through desert landscapes and Mongolian heritage. A vast land of deserts, grasslands and ancient traditions, Alshaa League in North China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (内蒙古自治区) is opening a new chapter in tourism.

The new route links Alshaa Left Banner, Alshaa Right Banner and Ejine Banner, three areas known for their unique landscapes and rich cultural heritage.

During the launch period, a variety of activities, including off road events and cultural performances, were organized to showcase the region’s tourism potential. For Alshaa, the new scenic circuit is more than just a travel route. It stands for an effort to transform its natural advantages and cultural resources into a sustainable tourism industry.

It’s the Yangtze finless porpoise (长江江豚), a national protected animal found only in the Yangtze River. It has a round body and looks much like a pig. It is very cute and as smart as a 3-to-5-year-old child. It can eat up to 10% of its body weight every day and can live for about 20 years. Sadly, its population dropped from about 2,700 in the early 1990s to around 1,800 by 2006. The rising number of boats produces loud noise and river pollution, while overfishing makes it hard for the Yangtze finless porpoise to find enough food. To solve this problem, the government has set up the river and lake chief system (河湖长制). This prevents river pollution and cuts down harmful human activities. A special hotline, 12314, is also open for people to report environmental problems. Besides, a 10-year fishing ban (禁渔令) has been on since 2021 to stop fishing for money. It helps provide enough food for Yangtze finless porpoises. Thanks to these efforts, the number of Yangtze finless porpoises rose from 1,012 in 2017 to 1,249 in 2022. Other important animals, such as the Chinese sturgeon (中华鲟), are also returning. From 2021 to 2024, scientists found 344 kinds of local fish in the Yangtze River, 36 more than the number found between 2017 and 2020. 16．What can we learn about the Yangtze finless porpoise from Paragraph 1? A．It looks like a panda. B．It is as smart as a baby under 3. C．It can live as long as 30 years. D．It only lives in the Yangtze River. 17．How does the government save the Yangtze finless porpoise? ①It cuts down boats travelling on the Yangtze River. ②It has set up the river and lake chief system. ③It provides more local fish for porpoises to eat. ④It stops fishing for money with a fishing ban. A．①② B．②③ C．③④ D．②④ 18．Which of the following about the Yangtze finless porpoise is TRUE? A．It can eat 10% of its body weight every meal. B．There were 36 more porpoises from 2021 to 2024. C．The fishing ban for them has been on for 10 years. D．Its number in 2022 was smaller than that in the 1990s. 19．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Reasons for the drop in porpoises’ population. B．The Yangtze finless porpoise and its protection. C．The living habits of the Yangtze finless porpoise. D．Different kinds of fish living in the Yangtze River. 【答案】16—19 DDDB 【详解】16．文章第1段提到“a national protected animal found only in the Yangtze River”，说明长江江豚仅生活在长江流域。 17．文章第3段分别提到“the government has set up the river and lake chief system”和“Besides, a 10-year fishing ban has been on since 2021 to stop fishing for money”，说明政府通过建立河湖长制、实施禁渔令禁止牟利性捕鱼的方式保护长江江豚，对应题干中的②④。 18．文章第2段提到“its population dropped from about 2,700 in the early 1990s to around 1,800 by 2006”和第4段提到“the number of Yangtze finless porpoises rose from 1,012 in 2017 to 1,249 in 2022”，说明2022年长江江豚的数量少于20世纪90年代的数量。 19．全文围绕长江江豚展开，涵盖了它的基本情况、生存危机、保护措施与保护成效，核心内容是长江江豚及其保护。 模拟演练 Passage 1 A little river ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert. “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no trouble 1 it,” the river thought. As she started, she found 2 slowly disappearing into the sand and she felt terrible. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean,” she said sadly. At that moment, a voice said, “I can give you a 3 . If a breeze (微风) can go across the desert, so can you.” It was the voice of the desert. But 4 little river answered, “That’s because a breeze can fly, but I can’t.” “That’s because you can’t give up what you are now. Let yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the breeze, 5 you can reach the ocean,” the desert said. The river felt very 6 and said, “No! No! If so, I won’t be myself anymore.” She couldn’t accept the advice. “The breeze can carry the vapor across the desert. Later the vapor will fall down as rain. The rain will become a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature 7 the same.” 8 hearing these words, the little river went into the open arms of the breeze.

The Siberian crane breeds (繁殖) in northeast Siberia in Russia and flies to Poyang Lake for the winter in East China’s Jiangxi Province. About 95 percent of the birds spend the season in Poyang. Qian Fawen, a research professor from the National Bird Banding Centre of China, said that Poyang’s water levels decide whether it is suitable for the birds to live there. However, climate change has made the levels change often. “In some years, the lake experiences floods; in others, it experiences droughts. Both of these situations create food shortages in the cranes’ living area,” he said. The Siberian crane is listed as seriously endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List. “We need to protect their living area, which is mainly wetland, so that we can protect them,” Qian said. In the recently announced National Action Plan for the Protection of Bird Migration Channels (2021—2035),1,140 places in China were considered as important breeding grounds, wintering grounds and staying stops, including Poyang and the Yellow River wetland in Ningxia. The plan said that the government should watch and count the number of migratory birds and pay farmers for losses caused by the birds. Since China joined the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands in 1992, it has designated(指定)202,600 hectares of wetland as Wetlands of International Importance. They store and clean water, keep all kinds of living things, help store floods and prevent droughts. According to a plan announced by the central government in October, by 2025, China will have protected 55 percent of its wetlands. After the Wetlands Protection Law, the nation’s first law to protect wetlands, was introduced on June 1, 2022, complete protection was strengthened. The law clearly explained what the government should do and introduced strict punishment for people who destroy wetland areas. It limits building at important national wetlands and it doesn’t allow harmful activities, including using them as farmlands, leaving wastewater everywhere, harvesting and fishing too much. Key nature reserve management offices in China have reported more birds wintering in the nation’s wetlands, including some new rare kinds. ________ 21．What can we learn from Paragraph 2 to Paragraph 4? A．About 95 percent of the Siberian cranes spend their winter in Poyang Lake. B．Climate change has little influence on the Siberian cranes’ living area in Poyang.

D．The loss of wetlands and the actions that have already been taken to help them. 24．What will the writer probably continue to write in “_________”? A．People have done something to protect wetlands. B．The number of the birds has increased in wetlands C．Experts will go on to do other research on wetlands. D．The government will make more laws to protect wetlands. 【答案】21—24 ACAB 【详解】21．根据文章第2段“About 95 percent of the birds spend the season in Poyang.”可推知大约95%的西伯利亚鹤在鄱阳湖度过冬天，与选项A表述一致。 22．根据文章第5段“the government should watch and count the number of migratory birds”和第7段“It limits building... and it doesn't allow harmful activities, including... fishing too much.”可推知观察鸟类和限制捕鱼是允许的正确行为，即③⑤正确。 23．通读全文可知，文章前半部分阐述了西伯利亚鹤面临的气候变化及生存问题，后半部分介绍了保护湿地的行动计划及法律法规，核心内容为西伯利亚鹤面临的问题及人们保护湿地的方式。 24．根据文章第8段“Key nature reserve management offices in China have reported more birds wintering in the nation's wetlands”可推知湿地中的鸟类数量有所增加，后续内容应延续这一话题。 Passage 4       ① Around Shanghai, Songlin Farm, a large pig farm, is showing the world that modern farming doesn’t have to harm the environment. ② In the past, animal waste from large farms often caused problems for water, air, and nearby land. However, this farm has found a greener way. It uses a special, “closed-loop (闭环)” system to turn pig waste into fertilizer (肥料) and green energy. ③ The key to the system is a process called anaerobic digestion (厌氧消化). The farm collects pig waste through pipes and sends it directly into special tanks without oxygen (O₂). There, the waste is broken down and produces biogas and biogas slurry (沼气和沼液). Since the waste moves through pipes and tanks, it is less possible to pollute the ground or the air. ④ After that, the two products are used in different ways. The biogas is cleaned and turned into a kind of green gas. Part of it is sent into Shanghai’s city gas pipes. It is reported to be the first project of its kind in the city. The biogas slurry, on the other hand, becomes a natural fertilizer. It is used on about 867 hm² of nearby farmland and helps save around 2 million yuan in fertilizer costs each year. ⑤ The system also helps vegetables grow better. In the farm’s vegetable area, workers use biogas slurry on vegetables such as tomatoes and potatoes. Carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the biogas-cleaning process is also used as a fertilizer. According to the farm, this can increase vegetable production by about 20 percent. ⑥ In this way, the farm creates a circle of pig waste, biogas, fertilizer, and vegetables. Experts believe this model can be used in other places and may help cities move closer to zero-waste development. It shows that with the help of science, even waste can become part of a greener future. 25．Why does the writer list numbers in Paragraph 4? A．To show the farm is very large and quite wealthy. B．To suggest how difficult it is to use biogas slurry. C．To make the benefits more believable and clearer. D．To compare Songlin Farm with other special farms. 26.Which picture can best show the use of the “closed-loop” system? A． B． C． D． 27．Which of the following shows the use of this system? A．Change animal waste into gas for heating. B．Use clean water to produce electric power. C．Clean factory waste and pour it out safely. D．Plant more trees to improve air quality in cities. 28．What’s the writer’s main purpose of introducing the Songlin farm? A．To explain how the biogas is made from pig waste. B．To show a useful example for greener farming today. C．To describe different methods used on modern farms. D．To tell us that only large farms can help reduce pollution. 【答案】25—28 CBAB 【详解】25．第4段中出现了“867 hm²”和“2 million yuan”这两个数字，分别说明了沼液的使用面积和节省的化肥成本。作者列出这些数据，是为了用具体、量化的信息，让闭环系统带来的环保和经济效益更可信、更清晰。 26．根据文章内容可知，闭环系统的完整流程为：猪粪被收集送入厌氧消化罐，经无氧处理后产生沼气和沼液；沼气净化后成为城市燃气，沼液则作为天然肥料用于农田与蔬菜种植，最终回归农场，形成循环。B选项中的图片完整呈现了此闭环链条。 27．根据第二段中“It uses a special, ‘closed-loop (闭环)’ system to turn pig waste into fertilizer (肥料) and green energy.”和第四段中“The biogas is cleaned and turned into a kind of green gas.”可知，这个系统能将猪粪转化为沼气（绿色能源），可作为燃气使用。 28．文章开头点明主旨“modern farming doesn’t have to harm the environment”，全文以松林农场为例，介绍了其闭环系统如何实现环保与高效，结尾也提到“Experts believe this model can be used in other places and may help cities move closer to zero-waste development.”，说明作者的写作目的是展示一个现代绿色农业的成功范例。 Passage 5 阅读文章，用恰当的短语或句子补全概要。补全部分总词数不超过30词，不能照抄原文连续超过3个词。 Food shortage is a big problem in the world. Right now, there are more than 1 billion hungry people in the world. Can you imagine many children go to sleep with an empty stomach, and many even die of hunger each year? What caused food shortage? First, there have been more disasters recently. This is bad for farmers and hurts their ability to grow food. Also, a growing population makes feeding everyone more difficult. Another big reason is food waste. Most people don’t realize how much food they throw away every day. Sometimes we cook too much, or we don’t use it before it goes bad. The average person throws away 50 kg of food every year. More than one third of all food produced worldwide goes to waste each year, according to the UN. That is 1.3 billion tons of good food being wasted. If the wasted food was saved, it could feed lots of people. The food wasted in Europe could feed 200 million people, and the food wasted in Latin America could feed 300 million people. So think twice next time you want to throw away extra food on your plate. By cutting down food waste, we could also help put food on the empty plate of some hungry children. It’s necessary for people to remember not to waste food. That’s why Oct. 16 is set up by the UN as World Food Day. How to reduce food waste? Do not order too much at a restaurant. Only order as much as you can eat. If you cannot eat all the food you ordered, take the rest of it home. Don’t be too picky (挑剔) about food. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it. Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don’t buy food that is more than you can eat, especially vegetables and fruit. Food shortage is a serious problem. Many children go to sleep hungry and even 29 every year. 30 are disasters, a growing population, and above all, food waste. World Food Day is set up by the UN 31 . What can we do? We should 32 at a restaurant, take leftovers home, not be too picky, and avoid buying too much food. 【答案】29．lose their lives 30．The main causes 31．to remind people to avoid waste 32．order a proper amount of food 【详解】29．第一段指出“many even die of hunger each year”，die of hunger可以转述为lose their lives。故填lose their lives。 30．第二段指出“What caused food shortage? First…Also…Another big reason…”，本段介绍粮食短缺的主要原因。故填The main causes。 31．第四段指出“It’s necessary for people to remember not to waste food. That’s why Oct.16 is set up by the UN as World Food Day.”，设立世界粮食日是为提醒人们不要浪费粮食。故填to remind people to avoid waste。 32．第五段指出“Do not order too much at a restaurant. Only order as much as you can eat.”，概括为在餐馆适量点餐。故填order a proper amount of food。 Passage 6 Yin Yuzhen is a great desert guardian in Inner Mongolia. For more than 40 years, she has fought against the cruel sand in the Mu Us Desert (毛乌素沙漠), turning large areas of desert into green forests. When Yin Yuzhen first moved to the desert in the 1980s, she was shocked by the terrible environment. “One strong wind a year, from spring to winter,” she once said. Sand hit her face like knives, and the small house she lived in was often buried under sand at night. She decided to change her life by planting trees. In 1986, Yin sold her only sheep to buy 600 young trees. Day after day, she planted them with a simple steel stick, watered them carefully, and covered their roots with sand to keep them safe. But a big storm came soon, and most of the trees died. She cried, but she never gave up. She tried again and again, and slowly learned which trees could live in the desert. With years of hard work, nearly 70,000 mu of desert became lively woodland. Her moving story reached Ronald Sakolsky, a foreign friend. In 1999, Ronald Sakolsky raised 5,000 dollars to support her tree-planting work. A year later, he came to visit Yin Yuzhen in the desert. The two made a warm green promise, “We will meet again in this forest and plant more trees together.” Twenty-six years passed. The 5,000 dollars grew into over 50,000 trees, and the desert became a sea of green. In 2026, Yin Yuzhen posted a video online to look for her old friend. When they got in touch again, both of them were excited. They still hoped to keep their promise to plant more trees together. 33．How long has Yin Yuzhen been working to fight against the desert? 34．What does the underlined part “The two” in Paragraph 3 refer to? 35．Use a word to describe Ronald Sakolsky according to the passage. 36．What spirit can you learn from Yin Yuzhen? Please find out one example from the passage to support your idea. 【答案】33．For more than 40 years. 34．Yin Yuzhen and Ronald Sakolsky. 35．Helpful. 36． I can learn the spirit of never giving up. For example, when most of the trees died in a big storm, she cried but never gave up. 【详解】33．首段直接指出殷玉珍治沙的时长：“For more than 40 years, she has fought against the cruel sand in the Mu Us Desert (毛乌素沙漠), turning large areas of desert into green forests.”，因此答案是原文直接信息。 34．文章第三段提到：“A year later, he came to visit Yin Yuzhen in the desert.”，可见，划线部分指的是前文提到的殷玉珍和来看望她的外国朋友Ronald Sakolsky。 35．文章第三段提到：“ In 1999, Ronald Sakolsky raised 5,000 dollars to support her tree-planting work.”，由此可推知Ronald Sakolsky是一个乐于助人、慷慨、善良的人。（任写一个即可） 36．本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一，需结合自己实际感受作答，给出合理理由即可。 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 1 / 22 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
