A
San Francisco Park ranger Amanda Barrows，who registered in City College of San Francisco (CCSF)’s Poetry for the People class，began to place a nightstand(床头柜) in Golden Gate Park with a note “take a poem，leave a poem” in December 2022.Since then，over 100 handwritten poems have been placed in the nightstand.“It’s completely unexpected，” said Barrows.“I’m really taken aback by the outpouring of support.”
Park ranger by day and poet by night，Barrows said she began writing and attending poetry workshops in 2020.The poetry course she attended was founded by Leslie Simon in 1975.The class advocates for a focus on the neighborhood，and the cultivation(培养) and public presentation of new poems.For Barrows，the idea that she could combine her job and her hobby by bringing poetry into parks was an inspiration.Barrows asked her friends to contribute their favorite poems to the nightstand as poems that could be taken.
Armed with an old nightstand，Barrows filled the stand with pens and paper.An added drawer at the bottom holds the poems that people “donate”．The concept reminded her of Little Free Libraries，which are fixtures across the city.“I was having anxiety.I had no idea what I was going to do; then it sort of just came to me，” said Barrows.“I was inspired by the little free libraries you see in SF，where you ‘take a book，leave a book’，and thought，‘Maybe I could do this with poetry.’”
One of the teachers at the CCSF poetry course，Lauren Muller，told The Washington Post that “people need poetry now”，which she suggested as the reason for the success of Barrows’s project.
Past student projects included writing poetry on sidewalks in chalk and placing poems on the windshields (挡风玻璃) of cars.“It’s exciting to see the work that students are doing，” Muller continued.“My hope is that this will happen across city parks...elsewhere.”

The Amur leopard is a critically endangered species，with an estimated population of fewer than 100 individuals.The leopards，characterized by their beautiful golden coat with large dark rosettes，are native to the forests of the Russian Far East and northeastern China.They are often considered the rarest big cats in the world，and their numbers have been declining rapidly due to the habitat loss，poaching(偷猎)，and the changing climate.
Habitat loss is one of the primary threats facing the Amur leopard.As logging and agricultural activities continue to expand in the region，the leopards are losing their once vast and undeveloped forests.The loss of habitat results in a decrease in prey populations，making it increasingly difficult for the leopards to find enough food.In addition to the habitat loss，poaching poses a significant threat to the survival of the species.Amur leopards are often hunted for their unique and attractive fur，which can fetch high prices on the black market.
Climate change is also impacting the Amur leopard population.As temperatures rise，the forests they rely on are undergoing changes，forcing the leopards to adapt to new conditions.This puts additional stress on an already struggling population.
Conservation efforts are underway to try and save the Amur leopards from extinction.Government established the Land of the Leopard National Park，which covers a significant portion of the leopard’s habitat.This protected area is essential in ensuring the survival of the species.Additionally，organizations like WWF are working to curb(遏制) poaching and promote sustainable forestry practices in the region.
Despite these efforts，the future of the Amur leopard remains uncertain.It is crucial that we continue to work towards the preservation of this magnificent creature，or we risk losing it forever.

解析　考查非谓语动词。空处作后置定语，应用非谓语动词形式，make up和ten provinces and three territories之间为主动关系，应用现在分词。
2．答案　valleys
解析　考查名词的数。valley“峡谷”是可数名词，结合语境和上文peaks判断此处用valley的复数形式。
3．答案　who
解析　考查定语从句。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词settlers指人，在从句中作主语，应用关系代词who引导。
4．答案　crossed
解析　考查动词的时态。空处为主句谓语动词，结合语境和Canada’s earliest settlers可知，此处陈述过去的事情，应用一般过去时。

解析　考查介词。结合句意表达“不落俗套”应用off the beaten track。
9．答案　transported
解析　考查非谓语动词。主句中已有谓语动词may feel，且无连词，故空处应用非谓语动词，逻辑主语you和transport之间为被动关系，应用过去分词作表语。

Morgan Hartman was born with both physical and cognitive(认知的) disabilities.For years though，she lacked a diagnosis(诊断)．One thing she did have: a happy spirit.Her dad，Gordon Hartman，never wanted to see that spirit dulled.But unfortunately，at times it was.
“In 2006，we were on a family vacation where I watched Morgan not be able to participate in a pool activity with three other children，and it was simply because of her lack of expression，” Gordon said.“It almost puts a lump(肿块) in your throat because it gives you a sad feeling that all Morgan wanted was to participate.She just wanted to play.”
After seeing this，Gordon started on a quest to create a space where no one felt left out.His idea: an inclusive theme park.He had experience as a builder and enlisted help from other experts to turn his dream into what is now Morgan’s Wonderland.The park，opened in 2010，is believed to be the only one like it in the world and it has expanded to a sports center and camp with an outdoor adventure park.Across all the recreation areas，all are fully accessible to everyone with physical and mental disabilities.
Gordon has seen first-hand how an accessible theme park can change lives through joy.“I met a couple from Mexico City.And they had never had a chance to，because of their special needs，ever a chance to play in water together.They heard about it and came here.They cried with me and talked to me about how this was the most wonderful opportunity they ever had，” he said.
Morgan’s Wonderland has welcomed visitors from dozens of countries and all 50 states of the USA—and those with disabilities enter for free.“It’s the small things that make the big difference: Having fun，” Gordon said.“Here at Morgan’s Wonderland and all the different Morgan’s venues，you don’t watch.You participate.”

课时精练(二)
B卷(32.5分)
Ⅰ.阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分)
A
In 2012，I teamed up with nine other cavers to go on a helicopter ride to the Mt.Bisaro Plateau，situated about 10 kilometres north of Fermie，British Columbia.The area is a playground of caves; they’re everywhere，but as we soon discovered，most are short and blocked with rock，snow，or ice.Only one hole showed potential.Standing at the cliff of the deep drop-off，we looked at and threw a rock down the shaft(竖井)．A four-second silence was followed by a massive boom reverberating(回响) from below.We looked at each other with huge eyes，“That’s deep！”
The next few years were exciting，with annual trips to Bisaro Anima.Long days were spent equipping and mapping the vertical cave.It took nine hours to travel from the mouth of the cave to our exploration areas.In 2015，we set up the first of three underground cave camps，where we restored equipment that allowed for a lot of exploration.We started doing winter trips because the water level is lower in the cave and it is not frozen.While the mountaintop is frozen in winter，the cave has the same temperature year-round.We did studies to understand the water flow in the cave,3D mapped the mountain’s surface with a drone，and climbed many vertical shafts looking for shortcuts to the surface.
We followed valleys and waterfalls deep in the cave and were amazed to find a lake more than half a kilometre down in the middle of the mountain.The only way to continue seemed to be underwater.In 2018，I dived into the lake and proved Bisaro Anima is the deepest known cave in Canada，but unluckily，damaged equipment thwarted my attempt to go very far.In 2019，I broke my ankle while dragging equipment in，and the 2020 trip was cancelled.In 2021，I finally got a second chance.
Ten years after the discovery of Bisaro Anima，it’s been confirmed to be the deepest cave in Canada at a depth of 683 metres and a length of 6.4 kilometres.
1．What can we learn about the caves from paragraph 1
A．Most of them are very deep.
B．Most of them have been destroyed by humans.
C．They are common in Mt.Bisaro Plateau.
D．They have disappointed many adventurers.
答案　C
解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中“The area is a playground of caves; they’re everywhere，but as we soon discovered，most are short and blocked with rock，snow，or ice.”可知，洞穴在比萨罗山高原很常见。故选C。
2．What makes winter trips possible
A．The lower level of water.
B．The frozen mountaintop.
C．The advanced equipment.
D．The 3D mapping technology.
答案　A
解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中“We started doing winter trips because the water level is lower in the cave and it is not frozen.”可知，洞穴中较低的水位使冬季旅行成为可能。故选A。
3．What does the underlined word “thwarted” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Inspired. B．Witnessed.
C．Saved. D．Prevented.
答案　D
解析　词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“but unluckily，damaged equipment”和下文“my attempt to go very far”以及下一段作者最终确认了洞穴的深度可推知，此次损坏的设备阻止了作者向更深处的尝试。由此可知，thwarted与Prevented(阻止)意思接近。故选D。
4．What is the purpose of the text
A．To call on people to protect Canada’s deepest cave.
B．To show the present situation of Canada’s deepest cave.
C．To give an account of diving into Canada’s deepest cave.
D．To stress the difficulty in exploring Canada’s deepest cave.
答案　C
解析　写作意图题。根据第一段第一句、第二段中“It took nine hours to travel from the mouth of the cave...allowed for a lot of exploration.”以及第三段中“In 2018...I finally got a second chance.”可知，文章主要是为了讲述潜入加拿大最深洞穴的经历。故选C。
B
Every year，Arctic terns migrate(迁徙) from the Arctic to the Antarctic—a round trip of about 80,000 kilometers.New research finds that these far-flying birds use just a few select routes for their travels.
“The Arctic tern is well-known to people as a record holder.It holds the world record for the longest migration of any animal，and therefore interacts with a variety of ecosystems along the way，” lead author Joanna Wong says.
“They are an indicator species that can tell us so much about the different ecosystems that they travel through，” Wong continues.“If they don’t make it to their destination in one year，then you know there might be an environmental problem somewhere along their route.”
Globally，Arctic terns are reducing.Their crossing such a long distance has made it hard for researchers to see where the problem is.“These birds are difficult to study because they are either living in polar environments，or on the go，” Wong says.
So in order to track them，Wong and her colleagues attached light-level geolocators to the legs of 53 Arctic terns.These geolocators are actually small computers that record surrounding light intensities(强度)．“The length of daylight can tell us the latitude(纬度)，while the time of solar noon can tell us the longitude.So we are able to judge positions of the birds，” Wong says.
Researchers compared the routes taken by the birds they followed and the migration timing to other Arctic terns that had previously been tracked.They determined terns in different areas all end up taking similar routes.
Some other seabirds also use the same paths，which suggests that the routes aren’t specific just to the Arctic terns and that protecting them may be beneficial to other species.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究北极燕鸥的迁徙情况对人类了解环境问题很有帮助，并呼吁人们保护北极燕鸥的迁徙路线，因为这样做对其他的鸟类也有益。
5．What are Arctic terns famous for according to the text

解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中“The Arctic tern is well-known to people as a record holder.It holds the world record for the longest migration of any animal”可知，北极燕鸥因它们的长途迁徙而闻名。故选A。
6．What does Joanna Wong say about Arctic terns
A．They prefer to travel individually.
B．They may cause environmental problems.
C．They often change their final destinations.
D．They help us learn about ecosystems along their route.
答案　D
解析　推理判断题。根据第三段“‘They are an indicator species that can tell us so much about the different ecosystems that they travel through，’ Wong continues.‘If they don’t ...along their route.’”可知，北极燕鸥是一种指示物种，可以告诉我们很多关于它们所经过的不同生态系统的信息，帮助我们了解沿途的生态系统。故选D。
7．Why is it difficult for researchers to study Arctic terns
A．They can’t find Arctic terns’ habitats.
B．They can hardly get access to Arctic terns.
C．They know very little about Arctic terns’ migration routes.
D．They live in different areas all over the world.
答案　B
解析　推理判断题。根据第四段中“‘These birds are difficult to study because they are either living in polar environments，or on the go，’Wong says.”可知，研究这些鸟很难，因为它们要么生活在极地环境中，要么在前进中，所以研究人员很难研究北极燕鸥是因为他们很难接近北极燕鸥。故选B。
8．Where is this text most likely from
A．A novel. B．A guidebook.
C．A scientific journal. D．A health magazine.
答案　C
解析　文章出处题。根据全文内容可知，文章介绍了研究北极燕鸥的迁徙情况对人类了解环境问题很有帮助，并呼吁人们保护北极燕鸥的迁徙路线，因为这样做对其他的鸟类也有益。文章涉及科学研究，可推断文章最可能选自科学杂志。故选C。
Ⅱ.七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
In a world-record effort to help save a rare sea creature，Australian scientists have released hundreds of baby seahorses into the wild.The tiny seahorses are endangered，and the scientists hope the new seahorses will help their numbers grow.
Seahorses are small，thin fish with a long mouth.They’re called “seahorses” because they look a bit like horses.Even though they’re fish，seahorses aren’t great swimmers. 1
There are over 40 different kinds of seahorses.They mostly live in warm，shallow waters around the world.They are often found in coral reefs，in beds of seagrass，and areas where rivers empty into the sea. 2 They eat tiny sea creatures and are eaten by bigger sea animals，such as crabs.
Many kinds of seahorses are threatened，often by the actions of humans. 3 They are also sometimes caught by accident when boats are trying to catch other fish.
4 Males have a special pouch(育儿袋) that allows them to carry over 100 babies at a time.The tiny babies are born alive and can swim right away.When they’re born，the babies are about the size of a grain of rice.
This is the fifth time the scientists have released seahorses into the area，and this is a new record. 5 The researchers say about 90% of them survived，which is unusually high.The researchers put tiny tags under the skin of many of the seahorses to help track them in the future.
A．Seahorse babies are easy to carry.
B．Around 380 seahorses were released.
C．Sometimes they’re caught and sold as pets.
D．People should be prohibited from catching seahorses.
E．Seahorses form an important part of the ocean’s food chain.
F．They often use their tails to hold onto something in the water.
G．Seahorses are unusual because it’s the males who carry the babies.
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了为增加海马的数量，澳大利亚科学家第五次向大海里投放海马，这次投放数量创历史新高，而且成活率也特别高。
1．答案　F
解析　根据上文“Even though they’re fish，seahorses aren’t great swimmers.”可知，海马不擅长游泳，空处位于段末，应承接上文，F项“它们经常用尾巴抓住水里的东西(来固定身体)”符合语境，选项中的They指代上文的seahorses。故选F。
2．答案　E
解析　根据下文“They eat tiny sea creatures and are eaten by bigger sea animals，such as crabs.”可知，海马是海洋食物链的组成部分。E项“海马组成了海洋食物链的一个重要部分”符合语境。故选E。
3．答案　C
解析　根据上文“Many kinds of seahorses are threatened，often by the actions of humans.”可知，空处应陈述人类对海马做了哪些不好的事情。C项“有时它们会被捕获并作为宠物出售”符合题意，且选项中的“they are caught”呼应下文中“They are also sometimes caught”。故选C。
4．答案　G
解析　根据下文“Males have a special pouch(育儿袋)”可知，海马很是不同寻常，它们是雄性育儿。G项“海马是不寻常的，因为它是雄性孕育幼崽”符合语境。故选G。
5．答案　B
解析　根据空前“This is the fifth time the scientists have released seahorses into the area，and this is a new record.”和空后“The researchers say about 90% of them survived，which is unusually high.”可知，上文提到投放海马，下文提到存活率，前后句之间缺少过渡句，由此推知，空处很有可能陈述了投放的海马的数量。B项“大约380只海马被投放”符合语境。故选B。Section Ⅲ　Discovering Useful Structures—The -ing form(3) as the subject

Ⅲ.阅读理解(共4小题；每小题2.5分，满分10分)
Our city is in a sorry state.Outdoor pollution kills 4.2 million people a year，according to the World Health Organization.Concrete and tarmac(柏油碎石材料) absorb the sun’s rays rather than reflecting them back into space，and also replace plants which would otherwise cool things down.The continuous spread of buildings and roads thus turns urban areas into heat islands，discomforting residents and worsening dangerous heatwaves.
A possible answer is trees.Their leaves may destroy at least some chemical pollutants(污染物) and provide shade.In 2019，researchers at the University of Wisconsin found that American cities need 40% tree coverage to cut urban heat back meaningfully.Unfortunately，not all cities—and especially not those springing up in the world’s poor countries—are blessed with parks，private gardens or even street trees in sufficient numbers.
Miyawaki Akira，a plant ecologist at Yorkhama National University，in Japan，has developed a new way to increase urban greening.It is to plant miniature simulacra(微型仿制品) of natural forests in the unpromising abandoned areas.Dr Miyawaki has organised the planting of more than 1,500 of these miniature forests，first in Japan，then in other parts of the world.Others are following in his footsteps.India is particularly keen.In Mumbai，more than 200,000 trees are found in Miyawaki forests throughout the city.Hyderabad started growing the largest individual forest of the lot in 2020.
The Miyawaki method will never work out on a large scale.Relying on nature and the passage of time is probably the best for replanting extensive areas of damaged woodlands.But if your goal is to better your immediate neighborhood，rather than to save the planet from global warming，then Dr Miyawaki might well be your man.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了植物生态学家Miyawaki Akira开发了一种增加城市绿化的新方法——种植微型模拟天然林，但此方法无法解决全球气候危机，只能部分解决城市绿化不足的问题。
1．What do we know from paragraph 1
A．Plants are replaced to cool things down.
B．Urban areas are becoming pollution hotspots.
C．Buildings and roads make residents comfortable.
D．Concrete and tarmac reflect heat back into space.
答案　B
解析　细节理解题。根据第一段可知，室外污染每年导致420万人死亡。混凝土和柏油路面吸收太阳光而不是将其反射回太空，同时也取代了许多原本可以降温的植物。建筑物和道路的不断扩张使城市地区变成了热岛，加剧了危险的热浪。由此可知，城市地区正在成为污染热点区。故选B。
2．What does the research in 2019 imply
A．Plants provide shade for urban residents.
B．Tree coverage needs to be further expanded.
C．The situation in urban areas gets steadily worse.
D．Trees cut down chemical pollution from factories.
答案　B
解析　推理判断题。根据第二段中“In 2019，researchers...need 40% tree coverage to cut urban heat back meaningfully.Unfortunately，not all cities...are blessed with parks，private gardens or even street trees in sufficient numbers.”可知，2019年的研究表明，美国城市需要40%的树木覆盖率才能有效地减少城市热量，而现实是许多城市并没有实现足够的树木覆盖，由此可推断，树木覆盖范围仍需要进一步扩大。故选B。
3．What can we learn about the Miyawaki method
A．It originated from India.
B．It takes effect as expected.
C．It makes no difference to Mumbai.
D．It is finding increasing favour.
答案　D
解析　推理判断题。根据第三段中“Dr Miyawaki has organised the planting of more than 1,500 of these miniature forests，first in Japan，then in other parts of the world...2020.”可推断，Miyawaki博士的方法首先在日本实施，后来在其他地区不断发展，这表明这个方法受到越来越多的青睐。故选D。
4．What is the passage mainly about
A．A practical strategy to save our planet.
B．A flexible schedule to settle a challenge.
C．A partial solution to the lack of urban greening.
D．An effective measure to prevent global warming.
答案　C
解析　主旨大意题。根据第三段“Miyawaki Akira...has developed a new way to increase urban greening.”及全文可知，文章主要介绍了植物生态学家Miyawaki Akira开发了一种增加城市绿化的新方法——种植微型模拟天然林，但此方法无法解决全球气候危机，只能部分解决城市绿化不足的问题。故选C。

语篇解读　这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了由斯摩基熊海报引发的关于一只真正的熊宝宝的故事，呼吁人们关注野火安全问题。
1．答案　shyly
解析　考查词性转换。空处修饰动词短语staring up，需填副词作状语。故填shyly。
2．答案　reads
解析　考查动词时态和主谓一致。此处陈述客观事实，使用一般现在时。主语为“the poster”，谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式。故填reads。
3．答案　to look
解析　考查非谓语动词。want sb to do sth为固定用法，意为“想要某人做某事”，空处需填动词不定式作宾语补足语。故填to look。
4．答案　whose
解析　考查定语从句。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词a real baby bear和paws之间有所属关系，关系词在定语从句中作定语，需用关系代词whose引导。
5．答案　fighting
解析　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，fight和a forest ranger为逻辑上的主谓关系，需用现在分词形式。故填fighting。
6．答案　from/against
解析　考查介词。protect...from/against...为固定短语，意为“保护……免受……”。
7．答案　a
解析　考查冠词。phenomenon是可数名词，此处表示泛指，national的发音以辅音音素开头，需填不定冠词a。
8．答案　arrival
解析　考查词性转换。定冠词the修饰名词，空处需填名词作主语。故填arrival。
9．答案　newspapers
解析　考查名词的复数。newspaper为可数名词，结合“across the country”可知，此处表示不止一份报纸。故填newspapers。
10．答案　Having
解析　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空处在句子中作主语，需用动名词形式，位于句首，首字母应大写，所以用Having。

B
Madison Square Garden(MSG)，a place for world-famous events in New York City，has actually been a group of buildings in different spots rather than a single building in one spot.In 1874，P.T.Barnum threw open Barnum’s Monster Classical and Geological Hippodrome(BMCGH) at the corner of Madison Avenue and 26th Street，across from Madison Square Park.Two years later，bandleader Patrick Gilmore leased the building，added statues and fountains，and renamed it Gilmore’s Gardens.When William Kissam Vanderbilt took back control of the building，it was renamed Madison Square Garden in 1879.
A new grand Madison Square Garden was built at the same spot in 1890，with a ballroom，a restaurant，a theater，a rooftop garden，and a main hall with seating for 8,000.However，this complex Madison Square Garden lasted until 1925 when it was torn down to make way for a forty-level landmark.
When the second Madison Square Garden had been replaced in its spot across from Madison Square Park，the boxing promoter Tex Rickard built a new Madison Square Garden.This new Madison Square Garden was constructed in a different place，on 8th Avenue between 49th and 50th Streets and quite some distance from Madison Square Park and Madison Avenue.Rickard’s Madison Square Garden served primarily as an arena(场地) for boxing prize fights and circus events until it lost its usefulness by the late 1960s.
A new spot was found again for Madison Square Garden，with Pennsylvania Station to be built underground.Plans were announced for the construction of Madison Square Garden in 1960.This building，which includes a huge sports hall，a bowling center，a 5,000-seat arena，and a twenty-nine-level office building，does keep the traditional name Madison Square Garden.However，it doesn’t lie near Madison Square，nor does it have the flowery gardens that contributed to the original name.But it still hosts the history-making moments at present as the former ones.

A．The first paragraph.
B．The second paragraph.
C．The third paragraph.
D．The last paragraph.

7．What can be inferred about today’s MSG from the text
A．It is on Madison Avenue.
B．It has unbelievable gardens.
C．It’s across from Madison Square Park.

Ⅱ.阅读理解(共4小题；每小题2.5分，满分10分)
For years，twice a day Aadya Joshi walked past a dump filled with smelly rubbish in her neighbourhood of south Mumbai on her way to and from school.Originally it was meant to be the garden of the local police station.When she was 15，during her summer holidays，Joshi decided to do something about it.“I walked into the police station and was like，‘Can I please clean your garden？’” recalls Joshi.“It took three or four weeks to eventually convince them that I was not going to give up halfway and leave them with more work.”
The plot of land covers an area of 60 square meters，about a quarter of a tennis court.But，over the course of four Sundays in the summer，with help of local residents，Joshi did more than clear it.She replanted it with native Indian plants and trees.Joshi said，“The first day that we cleaned up I made the mistake of not wearing gloves and I was sick for two weeks.”
The idea for native planting came from Joshi’s reading on the Miyawaki method of afforestation(植树造林) and the work of University of Delaware ecologist Douglas Tallamy.These both argue that planting the right trees can have a significant impact on restoring insect and animal biodiversity.The results in Mumbai were instantaneous: monkeys now hang out at the police station，and butterflies and birds have made the garden their home.
After creating the garden，Joshi developed a database of 2,000 plants unique to the Indian subcontinent and last year was awarded the annual Children’s Climate prize，founded by Swedish energy company Telge Energi.Her advice for others looking to follow in her footsteps: “If you bite off more than you can chew in the beginning，you will be stuck and lose motivation，” she says.“But something small，like your neighbourhood police station，it’s very manageable.”
1．What can we learn from Joshi’s words in the second paragraph
A．The work was enjoyable and rewarding.
B．The garden was too large to clean.
C．The cleaning was hard and dangerous.
D．Joshi was sick of the cleaning work.
答案　C
解析　推理判断题。根据第二段中“Joshi said，‘The first day that we cleaned up I made the mistake of not wearing gloves and I was sick for two weeks.’”可知，乔希因为第一天打扫时没戴手套病了两周，由此推知清洁工作既辛苦又危险。故选C。
2．What does the underlined word “instantaneous” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Dangerous. B．Profitable.
C．Costly. D．Immediate.
答案　D
解析　词义猜测题。根据画线词前一句“These both argue that planting the right trees can have a significant impact on restoring insect and animal biodiversity.”和后半句“monkeys now hang out at the police station，and butterflies and birds have made the garden their home”可知，种植合适的树木对恢复昆虫和动物的生物多样性的效果是立竿见影的。所以instantaneous为“瞬间的；立即的”之意。故选D。
3．What can we learn from Joshi’s advice in the last paragraph
A．All roads lead to Rome.
B．Time and tide wait for no man.
C．The longest journey starts from the first step.
D．Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well.
答案　C
解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段乔希的建议“如果你一开始时眼高手低，你就会被困住，失去动力。但一些小事情，比如你家附近的警察局，是很容易处理的”可知，乔希认为改善环境要从小事做起。所以“千里之行，始于足下”最能概括乔希的建议。故选C。
4．What is the purpose of the text
A．To demonstrate the environmental problems.
B．To call on attention to India’s young people.
C．To persuade readers to donate to an environment program.
D．To advocate a teenager’s efforts in caring about the world.
答案　D
解析　写作意图题。根据全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了阿迪亚 乔希为改善环境所做的努力。由此推断，本篇文章的目的是支持一个青少年关心世界的努力。故选D。

Ⅰ.阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分)
A
China’s “Little People’s Kingdom” is a theme park，where little people dance and sing in fairytale costumes，drawing both curious groups and criticism.The theme park，near Kunming City in Yunnan Province，employs 108 dwarfs from across the country，who gather on an artificial hillside twice a day to dance and sing for tourists.And all pretend to live in a tiny hilltop village.
The guests can watch shows like comedies，group dance and acrobatics.The show’s centerpiece，a funny performance of Swan Lake，sees performers dressed in special pink costumes and pretending to be little swans.“The first time I performed it(Swan Lake)I felt a bit embarrassed.I had never worn a skirt like that before.But later，once I got used to it，I found I could do it very well，” said Chen Ruan,21，from Hunan Province who joined the park when it opened.
For many of the employees，the park offers a rare opportunity to find work.As unlikely as it seems for men and women doing daily funny performances of Swan Lake，they think that it feels good to live in dormitories that look like caves while living with people with similar experiences.In addition，the life facilities in the park are made according to their special needs.Besides，performers in the park earn 2,000 yuan a month，around twice the salary of a high school graduate.
The founder of the park，Chen Mingjing，made his fortune by producing electronics and investing，but said he had always wanted to help the disadvantaged groups in the community.People，like human right activists for the disabled，think that such a park only encourages the discrimination against little people.The only requirement for participants to be employed at the theme park is to be shorter than 51 inches and be able to take care of themselves in daily life.The youngest employee is 18，and the oldest 48.

B
On the banks of Tanzania’s Lake Eyasi lives the world’s last hunter-gatherer tribe(部落)—the Hadza.They don’t grow food，raise animals or build houses.Instead they live a life unchanged for more than ten thousand years.
Their world is one of complete freedom—something modern society can barely imagine and is unlikely to ever experience，let alone have the skills to stay alive.Text messages and phone calls don’t exist.Nor do cars and electricity.No jobs，timetables，and social structures.No laws，taxes and unbelievably，no money—the closest thing to currency(交易) is the trade for a pair of shorts with a neighboring tribe.
We spent our time with the Hadza hunting baboons(狒狒)，a daily activity for the men.Their land is packed with sharp bushes，poisonous snakes and man-eating lions.But a successful hunting trip is the difference between eating or going hungry.
The Hadza diet consists mainly of honey，fruit and meat.Men often hunt in pairs to shoot animals with bows and arrows.The Hadza show us how to track animals，from baboons to snakes to lions.They are hugely skilled with their handmade bows and arrows—we have a go and barely get the arrow to go three feet in front of us.
The language of the Hadza is believed to be the oldest still-spoken language known to man.The Hadza don’t have conflict，and have no memory of starvation.Their population never reaches numbers that cannot be supported through hunting or gathering.They never get from their land more than they need.
Unlike modern-day office workers，the Hadza enjoy an extraordinary amount of free time.Their “work”—hunting for food—takes up around five hours of their day.They’ve been in such a state of peaceful existence for thousands of years.
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了哈扎人的生活方式：他们生活简单，主要以狩猎为生。他们与大自然和谐相处，长期以来过着平和的生活。

A．The Hadza lead a very simple life.
B．The Hadza live on traditional agriculture.
C．The Hadza have their own system of currency.
