I had heard about desertification(沙漠化) in school, but I never really understood it until I saw it with my own eyes. The dry land stretched as far as I could see. It was both shocking and inspiring. Our team worked together to plant trees and build irrigation systems. Every morning, we carried young trees and tools into the sandy fields. It was hard work, but we were all motivated by the goal of making the land green again. I also learned a lot about the local plants and how they survive in such harsh conditions. One of the local experts taught us about the “Green Wall” project, which aims to stop the desert from spreading. At the end of the two weeks, I looked back at the area where we had worked. The small trees we planted were already starting to make a difference. It was a small step, but I felt proud to be part of such an important project. This experience changed my view on environmental protection. I realized that even small actions can help. I am now more committed to living a green life and encouraging others to do the same. 51．Where did the writer volunteer last summer? A．In a forest. B．In a desert greening project in Inner Mongolia. C．In a city park D．In a coastal area. 52．What did the writer think of the land in the desert? A．It was very green. B．It was beautiful. C． It was shocking and inspiring. D．It was full of water. 53．What did the writer do during the volunteer work? A．He taught local students. B．He planted trees and built irrigation systems. C．He built houses for farmers. D．He cooked for the team. 54．What is the “Green Wall” project? A．A project to stop the desert from spreading. B．A project to build a wall. C．A project to paint trees green. D．A project to build green buildings. 55．How did the writer feel at the end of the volunteer work? A．Tired but proud. B．Unhappy and disappointed. C．Bored and tired. D．Excited but worried. C Which is more important to our lives, the internet or the washing machine? Many of us might answer, “The internet!” The internet helps us gather information. It allows us to see our friends in real time. However, Ha-Joon Chang, a professor at Cambridge University, doesn’t agree. He believes the washing machine has changed the world more than the internet. That sounds strange, but Chang is not alone. Many experts have called the washing machine the greatest invention of the 20th century. Why? Let’s be honest: How many of us love to do the laundry? It seems the cycle of washing, drying and ironing never ends. It’s so tiring and boring! However, before the washing machine was invented, women often had to spend lots of time washing clothes. Many of them suffered from back pain. The washing machine freed women from the laundry. Many women found they had enough time to enter the labor market. As a result, the social status of women began to change. Today, most women can make an independent living. They don’t have to rely on men any longer. To better understand the influence of washing machines, we can look at societies without them. In many African countries, doing the laundry takes women six hours a day. Women there hardly have time to work or start a business. It is hard for them to find a way out of poverty. Perhaps things will be a lot different if they have washing machines. We often take the washing machine for granted. But these machines do play an important role in our lives. They have greatly changed the world. 56．According to the author, Professor Ha-Joon Chang thinks ________. A．the internet is the greatest invention of the 20th century B．the washing machine is the greatest invention of the 20th century C．the internet has changed the world more than the washing machine D．the washing machine has changed the world more than the internet 57．The underlined phrase “do the laundry” (in paragraph 3) probably means “________”. A．wash dishes B．do shopping C．wash clothes D．wash vegetables 58．According to the article, the washing machine allows women to ________. A． have enough time to work B．wash more clothes C．improve their communities D．become rich 59．By mentioning African countries in paragraph 5, the author mainly wanted to ________. A．suggest people give women in Africa some washing machines B．explain why people often take the washing machine for granted C．help people better understand the influence of washing machines D．show it is boring to do the washing, drying and ironing all the time 60．Which of the following statements is wrong? A．In the past, women often had to rely on men. B．Many African countries do not have washing machines. C．The washing machine was invented during the 20th century. D．African women usually spend 30 hours doing the laundry every week. D Nowadays, self-driving cars are no longer just a dream. They use special cameras and tools to “see” the road and run on their own without human control. People hold different opinions about this new technology. Self-driving cars have many advantages. First of all, they can make driving much safer. He Xia, an AI expert, notes that over 90% of the world’s traffic deaths come from human mistakes such as not paying attention or being tired, and self-driving technology can greatly cut down these. Some self-driving taxis in the US have traveled millions of miles, with an accident rate 96% lower than that of human drivers. Besides, they can help people who can’t drive, like old people or those who have trouble walking, to travel freely. In some Chinese cities, self-driving buses connect living areas and subway stations, solving people’s “last mile” travel problems. They also make it possible to reduce traffic problems by choosing the best routes on their own. However, there are still some problems to solve. Professor Wang Baohui points out that checking tools and proper information use are the main problems for self-driving cars. For example, the technology is not yet perfect—it may not work well in bad weather like heavy rain or snow. What’s more, these cars are very expensive now, so not everyone can afford them. There are also problems about law: if an accident happens, who should be responsible? This is a question that requires governments to set clear rules. In my opinion, it should not be forgotten that self-driving technology has helped with driving safety and become easy to use. But the present technology and law problems also need to be taken seriously. With the common efforts of technology researchers, governments and companies, the technology will be improved and rules will be made more complete. For now, we should view its development wisely and give it time to get better. 61．What do self-driving cars use to “see” the road? A．Human eyes. B．Special cameras and tools. C．Mobile phones. D．Traffic lights. 62．What does the underlined word these in paragraph 2 refer to? A．Accidents caused by self-driving technology failures. B．Accidents caused by human mistakes. C．Accidents happening to taxis in the US. D．Accidents caused by bad weather. 63．What can we infer from paragraph 3? A．Self-driving technology will never be perfect. B．Bad weather has no influence on self-driving cars. C．The high cost of self-driving cars makes them less popular. D．Governments have made complete rules for self-driving accidents. 64．What is the writer’s attitude (态度) towards self-driving technology? A．He or she is positive and careful. B．He or she fully supports it. C．He or she is completely against it. D．He or she cares nothing about it. 65．What would be the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 第二节 阅读下面短文，从所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） E In my opinion, the wheel is the most important thing that human beings have ever invented. It might seem strange to say that something so simple-looking and so common could be so important. 66 Firstly, wheels influence almost every part of our lives. Wheels are used, for example, in clocks, machines and cars. If you visit just one factory, you will see how important wheels are. 67 Secondly, wheels play a great part in food production. Wheels are used to grind (磨碎) different kinds of corn into flour (面粉) . They are then used to mix flour and other foods to make bread. We also need wheels to transport the wheat (小麦). 68 Thirdly, our world would be completely different if we did not have the wheel for transport. Before the wheel was invented, people used to have to travel on foot or by riding an animal. They didn’t know where to put their heavy bags. 69 That is what we would be doing now if we did not have the wheel. Everything would take longer to do. We would be back to the Stone Age if the clever ancient people had not invented the wheel. Our modern world would simply be impossible. 70 A．It took long to finish their journeys. B．You will see wheels on almost every machine. C．The wheel is surely the most important invention of all time. D．But if you consider the following points, you will probably agree with me. E．If we did not have the wheel, we would have much difficulty in food production. Ⅴ．情景交际（每小题2分，满分10分）根据情景提示，用得体的英语完成下列对话。 71．A: Would you like to join our school green club? B: ____________________.
