A food chain is a way to show the relationships among living things in the 1 .It shows the path the energy takes from the sun through producers and consumers(消费者)to decomposers(分解者).Everything needs energy to
2 .
A producer is a living thing that makes energy from the 3 .It absorbs sunlight,turns it into energy and keeps it.A perfect example of a producer is a vegetable or fruit.These plants take in sunlight through 4 green leaves,
produce energy,and keep it in the other parts of plants,such as their fruit and flowers-what is the most 5 to consumers.
A consumer is a living thing in the food chain that eats producers or other consumers for energy.These consumers can be insects,other animals and humans.Insects,like grasshoppers(蚱蜢,蝗虫),eat producers and take in their energy.Consumers can also eat other consumers.For example,consumers like lions and tigers often eat other animals 6 them in the food chain.In this way,energy can be 7 to other consumers.
A decomposer is a living thing in the food chain that gets its energy from 'both consumers and producers by eating dead plants and animals.Ants and some other insects are good examples of decomposers.These living things eat dead plants and animals,take in the energy to live on and put new energy into the 8 .Plants use the energy to make energy of their own to start the 9 again.

三、阅读理解。(共15小题;每小题2分,计30分)
A)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Most environmental pollution comes from humans and their inventions.The electric bulb is thought to be one of the greatest human inventions of all time.However,too much of a good thing has started to influence(影响)the environment.Light pollution is influencing human health and wildlife behaviour.There is a world-wide movement to reduce light pollution,and everyone can help.
According to The New World Atlas of Artificial Night Sky Brightness(《新世界人造夜空亮度地图集》),the light pollution problem is especially serious.Large areas of North America,Europe,the Middle East,and Asia are bright with lights,while remote(偏远的)places like Siberia,the Sahara,and the Amazon are still dark.
Artificial light can cause havoc on natural body rhythms in both humans and animals.It interrupts sleep and confuses the circadian rhythm(生理节奏).An increased amount of light at night lowers melatonin(褪黑素)production,which results in less sleep,headaches,stress and other health problems.Blue light,in particular,has been shown to reduce levels of melatonin in humans.It is found in cellphones and other computer devices,as well as in LEDs,which are the types of bulbs that have become popular at home and in industrial and city lighting due to their low cost and energy efficiency.
Studies show that light pollution is also influencing animal behaviours.such as migration(迁徙)patterns and habitat formation.Because of light pollution.sea turtles guided by moonlight during migration lose their ways and often die.Even animals living under the deep sea may be influenced by underwater artificial lighting.Studies show that the artificial light is changing ocean ecosystems.
The good news is that light pollution is reversible(可逆的)and each one of us can make a difference!Now,many people are taking action to reduce light pollution and bring back the natural night sky.People are required to use outdoor lighting only when and where it is needed and to close window blinds(百叶窗)or curtains at night to control artificial light.
( )1.What does the underlined word “havoc”in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Improvement. B.Fear. C.Management. D.Damage.
( )2.What is the author's attitude towards the control of light pollution?
A.Uncertain. B.Doubtful. C.Worried. D.Hopeful.
( )3.According to the passage,which would the author agree with?
A.Light pollution is the hardest type of pollution to solve.
B.Deep-sea environment can help animals avoid light pollution.
C.Artificial light influences the sense of direction of animals.
D.LEDs can be used more because of low cost and energy efficiency.
B
If you search for places of beauty,wetlands probably won't be high on your list.Wetlands are areas of land that are often completely wet with water.Although they might not look very pretty,the roles that they play in nature might go beyond many people's imagination.
Wetlands appear naturally in almost every part of the world.There are many different types of wetlands on Earth.Along with rainforests,they are among the most diverse(多样的)places on Earth.Besides natural wetlands,
humans are also creating man-made ones for a number of purposes about water management.
One of the main advantages of wetlands is that they can prevent floods.They do so by storing water for a certain time and then slowly releasing(释放)it over time.Wetlands operate similarly to a sponge(海绵).When it rains heavily and water levels rise,they take in the extra water which may cause floods.This prevents water from entering rivers and streams.Then,when water levels become low later,they will release it.In many cases,wetlands offer a much more natural way than dams(坝).However,it's important to note that wetlands,like dams,don't stop all dangers from flooding.Once there is a very heavy rainfall,wetlands may fill up and any extra water will start to run off.
Wetlands also play a part in cleaning water.Farming actions and city waste are main causes of water pollution.
Wetlands include plants and organisms that can reduce this pollution by clearing out unwanted things.Wetlands have other advantages for the environment as well.They can help to feed nearby fish populations by releasing something that can be used as food for them into rivers.Also,many animals like frogs use wetlands as baby-raising grounds because they provide the place for catching food and the water required.Some birds also come to the wetlands for food and shelter.Although wetlands may not look pretty,it's clear that they are able to do the important work which is necessary to make sure that the circle of life remains unbroken.
( )1.Why does the writer mention“sponge”in Paragraph 3?
A.To explain the flood-preventing work of wetlands.
B.To describe the sponge's feature of storing water.
C.To show the wetlands can take in water quickly like a sponge.
D.To compare the similar points between wetlands and a sponge.
( )2.What can we learn about wetlands from the passage?
A.People create man-made wetlands to deal with water.
B.People praise wetlands for natural beauty.
C.Wetlands can solve the pollution problems.
D.Wetlands can completely prevent the dangers caused by floods.
( )3.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A.Wetlands—Circle of Life B.Wetlands—Home of Living Things
C.Wetlands—Friend of Earth D.Wetlands—Cleaner of Environment
C

Ocean's Gifts to Our Planet
The ocean covers over 70% of the earth's surface and plays a very important role in keeping our planet alive.
1.____________Let's explore three key ways oceans help us live and grow.
Climate Protectors
Oceans act like earth's air conditioner.2.________Through a process called the“ocean conveyor(传送者)belt”,
warm surface waters flow toward the poles while cold deep waters move toward the equator.This constant movement helps balance global temperatures.Without this system,many places would be too hot or too cold for life.
Life Provider
3._____________Over 3 billion people depend on seafood as their main protein source. Moreover.tiny ocean plants called phytoplankton(浮游植物)produce over 50% of the world's oxygen—more than all rainforests combined!Imagine taking a breath right now;every second breath comes from the ocean.
Transport Highway
Long before airplanes,oceans were our first highways.4._____________Even today,about 90%of traded goods travel by sea.Shipping remains the most efficient way to move large quantities of products across continents(洲).
Call for Protection
5.___________Plastic pollution,overfishing and rising temperatures are damaging oceanic ecosystems.By understanding the ocean's importance,we can take better actions to protect this blue heart of our planet.
A.However,human activities now damage this balance.
B.They take in 30% of carbon dioxide and 90% of excess(额外的)heat.
C.Ancient sailors used stars to navigate these watery roads.
D.Some scientists believe there are still undiscovered species(物种).
E.Its benefits are from climate control to food supply.
F.Rivers carry important nutrients(营养)to the ocean every day.
G.The ocean serves as the world's largest pharmacy(药房)with many medicines.

三、阅读理解。(共15小题;每小题2分,计30分)
A)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Most environmental pollution comes from humans and their inventions.The electric bulb is thought to be one of the greatest human inventions of all time.However,too much of a good thing has started to influence(影响)the environment.Light pollution is influencing human health and wildlife behaviour.There is a world-wide movement to reduce light pollution,and everyone can help.
According to The New World Atlas of Artificial Night Sky Brightness(《新世界人造夜空亮度地图集》),the light pollution problem is especially serious.Large areas of North America,Europe,the Middle East,and Asia are bright with lights,while remote(偏远的)places like Siberia,the Sahara,and the Amazon are still dark.
Artificial light can cause havoc on natural body rhythms in both humans and animals.It interrupts sleep and confuses the circadian rhythm(生理节奏).An increased amount of light at night lowers melatonin(褪黑素)production,which results in less sleep,headaches,stress and other health problems.Blue light,in particular,has been shown to reduce levels of melatonin in humans.It is found in cellphones and other computer devices,as well as in LEDs,which are the types of bulbs that have become popular at home and in industrial and city lighting due to their low cost and energy efficiency.
Studies show that light pollution is also influencing animal behaviours.such as migration(迁徙)patterns and habitat formation.Because of light pollution.sea turtles guided by moonlight during migration lose their ways and often die.Even animals living under the deep sea may be influenced by underwater artificial lighting.Studies show that the artificial light is changing ocean ecosystems.
The good news is that light pollution is reversible(可逆的)and each one of us can make a difference!Now,many people are taking action to reduce light pollution and bring back the natural night sky.People are required to use outdoor lighting only when and where it is needed and to close window blinds(百叶窗)or curtains at night to control artificial light.
( )1.What does the underlined word “havoc”in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Improvement. B.Fear. C.Management. D.Damage.
( )2.What is the author's attitude towards the control of light pollution?
A.Uncertain. B.Doubtful. C.Worried. D.Hopeful.
( )3.According to the passage,which would the author agree with?
A.Light pollution is the hardest type of pollution to solve.
B.Deep-sea environment can help animals avoid light pollution.
C.Artificial light influences the sense of direction of animals.
D.LEDs can be used more because of low cost and energy efficiency.
【答案】1-3 DDC
【语篇解析】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了人类过度使用灯光导致了光污染,对环境、人类和野生动物的健康产生负面影响,还影响动物的迁徙模式和栖息地形成,号召人们采取行动减少光污染,恢复自然夜空。
1.D 词义猜测题。根据“Artificial light can cause havoc on natural body rhythms in both humans and animals.It interrupts sleep and confuses the circadian rhythm(生理节奏).”可知,人造光会打断睡眠、扰乱生理节奏,由此可知人造光对自然生理节奏有严重破坏作用,画线单词应表示“严重破坏”。故选D。
2.D 观点态度题。根据“The good news is that light pollution is reversible(可逆的)and each one of us can make a difference!Now,many people are taking action to reduce light pollution and bring back the natural night sky."可知,光污染是可逆的,现在很多人都在行动,所以作者对控制光污染持乐观态度。故选D。
3.C 推理判断题。根据“Because of light pollution.sea turtles guided by moonlight during migration lose their way and often die.”可知,由于光污染,依靠月光迁徙的海龟会迷路,因此作者赞同“人造光影响动物的方向感”的观点。故选C。
B
If you search for places of beauty,wetlands probably won't be high on your list.Wetlands are areas of land that are often completely wet with water.Although they might not look very pretty,the roles that they play in nature might go beyond many people's imagination.
Wetlands appear naturally in almost every part of the world.There are many different types of wetlands on Earth.Along with rainforests,they are among the most diverse(多样的)places on Earth.Besides natural wetlands,
humans are also creating man-made ones for a number of purposes about water management.
One of the main advantages of wetlands is that they can prevent floods.They do so by storing water for a certain time and then slowly releasing(释放)it over time.Wetlands operate similarly to a sponge(海绵).When it rains heavily and water levels rise,they take in the extra water which may cause floods.This prevents water from entering rivers and streams.Then,when water levels become low later,they will release it.In many cases,wetlands offer a much more natural way than dams(坝).However,it's important to note that wetlands,like dams,don't stop all dangers from flooding.Once there is a very heavy rainfall,wetlands may fill up and any extra water will start to run off.
Wetlands also play a part in cleaning water.Farming actions and city waste are main causes of water pollution.
Wetlands include plants and organisms that can reduce this pollution by clearing out unwanted things.Wetlands have other advantages for the environment as well.They can help to feed nearby fish populations by releasing something that can be used as food for them into rivers.Also,many animals like frogs use wetlands as baby-raising grounds because they provide the place for catching food and the water required.Some birds also come to the wetlands for food and shelter.Although wetlands may not look pretty,it's clear that they are able to do the important work which is necessary to make sure that the circle of life remains unbroken.
( )1.Why does the writer mention“sponge”in Paragraph 3?
A.To explain the flood-preventing work of wetlands.
B.To describe the sponge's feature of storing water.
C.To show the wetlands can take in water quickly like a sponge.
D.To compare the similar points between wetlands and a sponge.
( )2.What can we learn about wetlands from the passage?
A.People create man-made wetlands to deal with water.
B.People praise wetlands for natural beauty.
C.Wetlands can solve the pollution problems.
D.Wetlands can completely prevent the dangers caused by floods.
( )3.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A.Wetlands—Circle of Life B.Wetlands—Home of Living Things
C.Wetlands—Friend of Earth D.Wetlands—Cleaner of Environment
