Evans Wadongo was from a village of Africa. He had to do homework by the light of a kerosene lamp (煤油灯). Evans’ eyes hurt and this made studying difficult. It was common in his village. Many children left school for this reason, so they remained poor for the rest of their lives.
Although studying was difficult, Evans was an excellent student and went to a university. He continued to worry about the kerosene lamp. By this time, he realized it was not just bad for schoolchildren but for the whole family. First, it could cause illnesses such as coughs. Also, the light could hurt people’s eyes. Besides, it could lead to fires. Lastly, kerosene was expensive, so families had less money for food. It was difficult to come up with a different kind of lamp that was cheap and good for the environment. Yet Evans did not give up.
One day, he had an idea. He could use a small solar (太阳能的) light. Sunlight is free and solar power is good for the environment. Evans built his first solar lamp, and it worked. He began to build more lamps and sent them to local families. An organization heard about this and provided money for him to build more solar lamps.
Each lamp only cost $20. However, this was a lot of money for many villagers who only earned around $34 a week, so Evans made sure he kept the cost down. First, Evans used recycled materials. Next, volunteers built the lamps. Finally, people from many countries gave money to his team, so the lamps were usually free.
Thousands of people had safe light. Julia, a mother of three, said, “Thanks to Evans, my children have light to read, and I have my own light to cook.” The solar lamps made a big difference.
5. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

7. Why does the writer give Julia’s example in the last paragraph?
A. To share Julia’s experience. B. To show Evans’ influence.
C. To describe Evans’ feelings. D. To introduce Evans’ invention.

If you look up in a forest, you may notice something really interesting: the tops of trees don’t actually touch each other. There are little gaps between them, and you can even see the sky through these breaks. This is called “crown shyness”.
Meg Lowman, a tree expert, explains that it’s a tree’s method to stay healthy. Trees are always fighting with each other for sunlight and water. By keeping a certain distance from each other, they reduce the chance of losing leaves when they brush against neighbouring trees. Leaves are very important, as they help trees get sunlight and water. Also, just like we stay away from sick people, trees keep their leaves from touching other trees. This helps stop harmful insects and diseases from spreading. “Tree sicknesses can come from insects or even be the insects themselves,” Lowman says. “By separating themselves from others, trees protect themselves like we do when we keep our distance from sick people.”
Crown shyness mostly happens in tropical (热带的) trees, but the lessons are also true for other trees. Trees with more space grow bigger and stronger. Lowman says we should take good care of trees, just like we take care of a rose garden. Healthy trees give us better shade, and they clean water better. “The healthier the forest, the more benefits the owner will get,” says Lowman. “When a tree gets sick, don’t just cut it down. Trees support many living things like insects and birds,” the expert adds.
So next time you see trees, remember: they teach us to be good neighbours. After all, sharing space wisely keeps everyone healthy, whether you’re a tree or a human!
9. What does paragraph 1 mainly talk about?
A. What crown shyness means. B. The beauty of gaps in forests.
C. How trees grow leaves in forests. D. The importance of forests in nature.
10. Why do the tops of trees keep their distance from each other?
A. To let more sunlight reach the ground. B. To protect leaves and avoid diseases.
C. To help more rainwater fall into the forest. D. To create more living areas for insects and birds.
11. What lesson can we learn from the passage?
A. Sharing space wisely is good for all. B. Competition is important for growth.
C. Humans must live in balance with nature. D. Being alone all the time stops getting sick.

Scene 1
Living room in Mr Frank’s house,
Mr Frank is sitting on the sofa, looking sad. Lestrade enters.
Mr Frank: Good morning, sir. Please sit down and have a drink.
Lestrade: Good morning, Mr Frank. Thank you. So tell me about your case.
Mr Frank: Well, I live alone. My father passed away last week, and he left me a famous painting. I locked it in the safe (保险柜) in the living-room yesterday. When I got up this morning, however, the safe was open and the painting wasn’t there!
Lestrade: I see a necklace near the open safe. Does anyone know about the painting?
Mr Frank: I showed it to only two people—Zoe and Jimmy. They both work in my house. Oh, the necklace belongs to Zoe. I saw her wear it last week.
Lestrade: I see. Outside the open window, there’s a lot of mud (泥) on the wet ground. Inside the room, the floor was completely clean. Can I see Zoe and Jimmy, please?
Mr Frank: Sure. Come with me, sir.
Scene 2
Garden behind Mr Frank’s house. The garden, full of roses.
(Mr Frank is sitting under a large tree. Lestrade is walking around slowly. The sound of quick footsteps is heard.)
Zoe: (Rushing to Lestrade.) Oh no, sir! It’s not me! I didn’t steal the painting. Believe me!
Lestrade: Calm down, Madam. Tell me what you did last night.
Zoe: I went to sleep after I did all the cleaning and washing in the house.
Lestrade: Is this your necklace, Madam? (Showing the necklace.) I found it near the open safe.
Zoe: Why, yes! It’s mine! I lost it three days ago. It was cheap, so I didn’t tell anyone. Sir, believe me! (Starting to cry.)
Lestrade: Madam, I never jump to conclusions. I need proof (证据). What about you, Jimmy?
Jimmy: I was on guard the whole night. It was raining and I didn’t see anything unusual.
Lestrade: OK. You two can leave now. (Turning to Mr Frank.) I know who the thief is.
Mr Frank: (With eyes and mouth wide open) You do? Who is it?
Lestrade: You, sir!
Mr Frank: Me? You mean I stole my own painting? Are you joking?
Lestrade: I’m serious, Mr Frank. The mud outside and the clean floor inside told me that probably no thief broke into your house. Before I came here, I had checked with the insurance (保险) company. They told me you had bought insurance for the painting. They would pay you 200,000 dollars if the painting was stolen.
Mr Frank: What about the necklace, then?
Lestrade: You stole it as well. You tried to make sure that Zoe’d go to prison instead of you. Mr Frank, I like being a detective. My dream is to find the real criminal and protect the person who hasn’t done anything wrong.

①Every year, billions of migrating birds fly thousands of miles to reach their seasonal homes. But when birds start these long journeys, how do they know where they’re going?
②In fact, birds use different clues to stay in the right direction. Some of these are familiar to us, while others are still a mystery to humans. Sight and smell are two basic clues that birds use to find their way. If birds have already migrated once, they’ll likely remember familiar landmarks, such as rivers and mountain ranges. Birds that migrate over water, however, have fewer landmarks to guide them. In these situations, they might depend more on their sense of smell. One study found that when researchers blocked the noses of Scopoli’s shearwaters, these seabirds could still fly over land but lost their way when flying over water.
③Birds can also use the sun and stars as guides. To do this, birds that fly during the day use a “sun compass”, which connects their view of the sun’s position in the sky with their internal sense of the time of day. By putting these two pieces of information together, birds can figure out which direction they’re heading.
④However, many birds actually migrate at night, which means that the position of the sun is of little use to them. In this case, birds depend on the position of the stars to find their way. They use this “star compass” by learning the position of the stars around the celestial pole, which is roughly marked by Polaris, known as the North Star.
⑤But what if the sky is cloudy, and birds can’t see the sun, stars or any landmarks? That’s when their more amazing senses come into play. Birds can find their way even without the sun or stars, partly thanks to a sense called magnetoreception (磁感知). This sense allows them to feel Earth’s magnetic fields.
⑥It’s a bit like how we use our eyes to see during the day, but at night, we might use our hands to feel our way around a dark room. Birds use different senses at different times, too. Understanding how these senses work will be very important for protecting birds in the future.
17. How does the writer begin the article?
A. By describing a scene. B. By asking a question.
C. By giving an example. D. By telling a story.
18. From the research on Scopoli’s shearwaters, we can learn that ________.
A. seabirds always lose their way without landmarks
B. blocking seabirds’ ears makes them lose direction
C. land is the only place where seabirds can fly safely
D. birds’ sense of smell plays a role in their migration
19. Which of the following shows the correct structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
20. Why does the writer mention humans’ ways of finding directions?
A. To show that humans have much better senses than birds.
B. To explain that humans need more tools to get directions.
C. To tell that humans and birds share the same living habits.
D. To help readers understand how birds use different senses.

When astronauts look at Earth from space, they often see something unforgettable. From a space station window, Earth looks like a bright blue and white ball. There are no country lines—just one beautiful home for all human beings.
Many astronauts say this view changes the way they think. On Earth, people often notice differences between countries, languages and cultures. But from space, Earth looks small, quiet and connected. Some astronauts come to feel that all people share the same planet and the same future.
This feeling is called the “overview effect (总观效应)”. Seeing from space, astronauts may feel surprised by Earth’s beauty, but they may also notice how fragile (脆弱的) it is. From space, the air, water and land that keep us alive look like a very thin layer, which could easily be broken.
For this reason, space exploration is meaningful. It not only helps scientists do experiments or develop new technology. It also helps people better understand Earth. When astronauts come back, many of them speak out about protecting our planet, working together and caring more about the future.
For students, this idea is also important. We may not all become astronauts, but we can learn from what they see. We can look beyond small differences and think about our shared home. Exploring space is not only about going farther. It is also about seeing Earth more clearly.
46. What does Earth look like from a space station window?
_______________________________________________________________________________
47. What do people often notice on Earth according to the passage?

48. What do astronauts think of Earth from space?

根据第二段“By keeping a certain distance from each other, they reduce the chance of losing leaves when they brush against neighbouring trees.”以及“This helps stop harmful insects and diseases from spreading.”可知,树木顶部保持距离,一方面是为了减少与相邻树木摩擦时落叶的几率,即保护树叶;另一方面是为了阻止有害昆虫和疾病的传播,也就是避免疾病,B选项“为了保护树叶并避免疾病。”符合此句的语境。
【11题详解】
文章最后一段“So next time you see trees, remember: they teach us to be good neighbours. After all, sharing space wisely keeps everyone healthy, whether you're a tree or a human!”明确指出,无论是树还是人类,明智地共享空间能让每个人都保持健康,这意味着明智地共享空间对所有事物都有好处,A选项“明智地共享空间对所有人/所有事物都有好处。”符合。

Scene 1
Living room in Mr Frank’s house,
Mr Frank is sitting on the sofa, looking sad. Lestrade enters.
Mr Frank: Good morning, sir. Please sit down and have a drink.
Lestrade: Good morning, Mr Frank. Thank you. So tell me about your case.
Mr Frank: Well, I live alone. My father passed away last week, and he left me a famous painting. I locked it in the safe (保险柜) in the living-room yesterday. When I got up this morning, however, the safe was open and the painting wasn’t there!
Lestrade: I see a necklace near the open safe. Does anyone know about the painting?
Mr Frank: I showed it to only two people—Zoe and Jimmy. They both work in my house. Oh, the necklace belongs to Zoe. I saw her wear it last week.
Lestrade: I see. Outside the open window, there’s a lot of mud (泥) on the wet ground. Inside the room, the floor was completely clean. Can I see Zoe and Jimmy, please?
Mr Frank: Sure. Come with me, sir.
Scene 2
Garden behind Mr Frank’s house. The garden, full of roses.
(Mr Frank is sitting under a large tree. Lestrade is walking around slowly. The sound of quick footsteps is heard.)
Zoe: (Rushing to Lestrade.) Oh no, sir! It’s not me! I didn’t steal the painting. Believe me!
Lestrade: Calm down, Madam. Tell me what you did last night.
Zoe: I went to sleep after I did all the cleaning and washing in the house.
Lestrade: Is this your necklace, Madam? (Showing the necklace.) I found it near the open safe.
Zoe: Why, yes! It’s mine! I lost it three days ago. It was cheap, so I didn’t tell anyone. Sir, believe me! (Starting to cry.)
Lestrade: Madam, I never jump to conclusions. I need proof (证据). What about you, Jimmy?
Jimmy: I was on guard the whole night. It was raining and I didn’t see anything unusual.
Lestrade: OK. You two can leave now. (Turning to Mr Frank.) I know who the thief is.
Mr Frank: (With eyes and mouth wide open) You do? Who is it?
Lestrade: You, sir!
Mr Frank: Me? You mean I stole my own painting? Are you joking?
Lestrade: I’m serious, Mr Frank. The mud outside and the clean floor inside told me that probably no thief broke into your house. Before I came here, I had checked with the insurance (保险) company. They told me you had bought insurance for the painting. They would pay you 200,000 dollars if the painting was stolen.
Mr Frank: What about the necklace, then?
Lestrade: You stole it as well. You tried to make sure that Zoe’d go to prison instead of you. Mr Frank, I like being a detective. My dream is to find the real criminal and protect the person who hasn’t done anything wrong.
12. What is the main problem Mr. Frank reports to Lestrade?
A. He found a necklace on the floor. B. His father passed away last week.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇戏剧剧本,讲述侦探Lestrade调查名画失窃案,通过线索和保险信息发现报案人Mr Frank自导自演。
【12题详解】
Scene 1中Mr Frank陈述“I locked it in the safe in the living-room yesterday. When I got up this morning, however, the safe was open and the painting wasn’t there!” 表明主要问题是画被盗。与选项C“His painting was stolen from the safe.”描述一致。
【13题详解】
Scene 2中Lestrade说“Madam, I never jump to conclusions. I need proof.”,意为不急于下结论,需要证据。因此“jump to conclusions”指“仓促地下结论”。与选项C“Form an opinion hurriedly”意思相近。
【14题详解】
Scene 2中,当Lestrade说知道小偷是谁时,“Mr Frank: (With eyes and mouth wide open) You do? Who is it?” 眼睛和嘴巴张得很大,表现出他听到Lestrade指出小偷时是惊讶的神情,选项B“Surprised”最恰当。
【15题详解】
括号内如“(Rushing to Lestrade.)”和“(Showing the necklace.)”是舞台指示,说明角色正在进行的动作。选项A“What the characters are doing.”说明的最准确。
【16题详解】
Lestrade先查保险公司(“Before I came here, I had checked with the insurance company.”),再与Mr Frank谈话(Scene 1全程),接着在现场发现项链和泥(“I see a necklace…Outside the open window, there’s a lot of mud…”),然后询问Zoe(Scene 2中Zoe主动跑来并接受问话),最后询问Jimmy(“What about you, Jimmy?”),所以正确的顺序为选项A“c-d-b-e-a”。

①Every year, billions of migrating birds fly thousands of miles to reach their seasonal homes. But when birds start these long journeys, how do they know where they’re going?
②In fact, birds use different clues to stay in the right direction. Some of these are familiar to us, while others are still a mystery to humans. Sight and smell are two basic clues that birds use to find their way. If birds have already migrated once, they’ll likely remember familiar landmarks, such as rivers and mountain ranges. Birds that migrate over water, however, have fewer landmarks to guide them. In these situations, they might depend more on their sense of smell. One study found that when researchers blocked the noses of Scopoli’s shearwaters, these seabirds could still fly over land but lost their way when flying over water.
③Birds can also use the sun and stars as guides. To do this, birds that fly during the day use a “sun compass”, which connects their view of the sun’s position in the sky with their internal sense of the time of day. By putting these two pieces of information together, birds can figure out which direction they’re heading.
④However, many birds actually migrate at night, which means that the position of the sun is of little use to them. In this case, birds depend on the position of the stars to find their way. They use this “star compass” by learning the position of the stars around the celestial pole, which is roughly marked by Polaris, known as the North Star.
⑤But what if the sky is cloudy, and birds can’t see the sun, stars or any landmarks? That’s when their more amazing senses come into play. Birds can find their way even without the sun or stars, partly thanks to a sense called magnetoreception (磁感知). This sense allows them to feel Earth’s magnetic fields.
⑥It’s a bit like how we use our eyes to see during the day, but at night, we might use our hands to feel our way around a dark room. Birds use different senses at different times, too. Understanding how these senses work will be very important for protecting birds in the future.
17. How does the writer begin the article?
A. By describing a scene. B. By asking a question.
C. By giving an example. D. By telling a story.
18. From the research on Scopoli’s shearwaters, we can learn that ________.
A. seabirds always lose their way without landmarks
B. blocking seabirds’ ears makes them lose direction
C. land is the only place where seabirds can fly safely
D. birds’ sense of smell plays a role in their migration
19. Which of the following shows the correct structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
20. Why does the writer mention humans’ ways of finding directions?
A. To show that humans have much better senses than birds.
B. To explain that humans need more tools to get directions.
C. To tell that humans and birds share the same living habits.
D. To help readers understand how birds use different senses.
【答案】17. B 18. D 19. A 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了候鸟在迁徙过程中利用视觉、嗅觉、太阳、星星和地球磁场等多种线索来辨别方向的方法。
【17题详解】
文章第一段最后一句“how do they know where they’re going?”,通过提问来引入话题。
【18题详解】
文章第二段最后两句“One study found that when researchers blocked the noses of Scopoli’s shearwaters, these seabirds could still fly over land but lost their way when flying over water.”指出,当研究人员堵住Scopoli’s shearwaters的鼻子时,它们在水面上方飞行时会迷路,说明嗅觉在鸟类迁徙中起作用。
【19题详解】
文章第一段提出问题引出话题(总起),第二至五段分别介绍鸟类的导航方法(分述),最后一段总结并说明研究意义(总结)。结构为“总—分—总”,对应A项。
【20题详解】
文章最后一段第一、二句“It’s a bit like how we use our eyes to see during the day, but at night, we might use our hands to feel our way around a dark room. Birds use different senses at different times, too.”,通过人类在不同时间使用不同感官的类比,帮助读者理解鸟类也使用不同感官。

五、任务型阅读-简答:本大题共1小题,共10分。
When astronauts look at Earth from space, they often see something unforgettable. From a space station window, Earth looks like a bright blue and white ball. There are no country lines—just one beautiful home for all human beings.
Many astronauts say this view changes the way they think. On Earth, people often notice differences between countries, languages and cultures. But from space, Earth looks small, quiet and connected. Some astronauts come to feel that all people share the same planet and the same future.
This feeling is called the “overview effect (总观效应)”. Seeing from space, astronauts may feel surprised by Earth’s beauty, but they may also notice how fragile (脆弱的) it is. From space, the air, water and land that keep us alive look like a very thin layer, which could easily be broken.
For this reason, space exploration is meaningful. It not only helps scientists do experiments or develop new technology. It also helps people better understand Earth. When astronauts come back, many of them speak out about protecting our planet, working together and caring more about the future.
For students, this idea is also important. We may not all become astronauts, but we can learn from what they see. We can look beyond small differences and think about our shared home. Exploring space is not only about going farther. It is also about seeing Earth more clearly.
46. What does Earth look like from a space station window?
_______________________________________________________________________________
47. What do people often notice on Earth according to the passage?
_______________________________________________________________________________
48. What do astronauts think of Earth from space?
_______________________________________________________________________________
49. What do many astronauts talk about after they come back?
_______________________________________________________________________________
50. What can students learn from astronauts’ view of Earth? Why?
_______________________________________________________________________________
【答案】46. It looks like a bright blue and white ball.
47. They often notice differences between countries, languages and cultures.
48. They think Earth is beautiful but fragile.
49. They talk about protecting our planet, working together and caring more about the future.
50. They can learn to look beyond small differences and think about our shared home. Because it helps them understand Earth and care more about the future.(开放性试题,言之有理即可)
【解析】

例文
Hi, everyone! Here I will tell you about some changes in my hometown.
Years ago, it was a quiet small place. People lived in old low houses, roads were narrow, and most went out on foot or by bike. Life was simple but a little boring.
Now great changes have happened. Tall buildings stand everywhere, roads are wide and clean, and many families have cars. New parks and shopping malls make our life much more convenient and colourful.
I feel so proud of these warm changes. My hometown is becoming more and more beautiful, and I love it so much.
That’s all. Thank you!
