A
Born to an adventure loving mom and a National Geographic’s photographer dad，Alison Teal was already exploring the world as a baby.The family traveled the globe staying not at five-star hotels but in a six-foot-wide tent.From cold mountaintops to hot jungles，they completely involved themselves in local nature and culture.
Between journeys，they would return home to a quiet and faraway part of the Big Island of Hawaii，where they built a solar-powered oceanfront rest center.The front yard was the ocean，and Alison’s friends were dolphins.She would dive into the water and release seaweed.A dolphin would catch it on its nose or fin and throw it to the next player.Over the years，the dolphins grew to trust Alison.They looked for her and came close to her in the water.
After graduating from university，she continued her world travels.Her adventurous childhood and life skills landed her a spot in the reality show Naked and Afraid，in which she and her partner had to live on an unwelcoming island for 21 days.Alison’s deep knowledge of how to live in a wilderness saved the pair，but what shocked her was the amount of trash washed up on the shore.
“After that，I couldn’t ignore our plastic problem.I shifted my focus and started to protect our greatest resource，the ocean，” says Alison.Swimming in familiar waters back home，she also found her dolphin friends were no longer tossing(抛) seaweed to each other，but plastic.“That was distressing，” she says.
Her book，Alison’s Adventures：Your Passport to the World，is filled with travel stories and environmental lessons.She also offers free adventure films to go along with each chapter on her social media sites.Alison believes all of us can make changes to protect the Earth and，in turn，those we love.“Whether you’re a lawyer，a gardener，an artist，a teacher or a surfer，we can all help in our own ways，” she says.
1．What can we learn about Alison’s early life
A．She led a lifestyle close to nature.
B．She failed to get on well with her parents.
C．She often felt lonely at her faraway home.
D．She trained dolphins for an oceanfront rest center.
2．What is mentioned about Naked and Afraid
A．It was directed by Alison. B．It was designed to protect the ocean.
C．Alison showed good survival skills in it. D．Alison fell in love with writing books in it.
3．What does the underlined word “distressing” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Peaceful. B．Upsetting. C．Powerful. D．Unchangeable.
4．What message does Alison most probably want to convey in her book
A．People should make better use of social media.
B．It is helpful to take some adventurous travels in life.
C．Everyone should do their part in environmental protection.
D．One has to make suitable changes to achieve a successful career.
B
When people are overworked or tired，they may take a break by visiting green spaces like forests to relax.But can there be forests inside cities
Urban forests are not acres and acres of lush greenery.They range from the trees in the park on the corner of your street to the trees lining the sidewalk，or simply bushes in your own backyard!
The idea of care and management for tree populations in urban areas began in North America in the late 1960s and was first called environmental forestry.The greening improved greying cities and soon skyrocketed in popularity.It has now become a whole new discipline of forestry called urban forestry.
Urban forests have the potential to help cities cool down and can be the heart of a city’s social life.Even a tiny patch of ground with a few trees can enrich children’s playgrounds and have a positive impact on the psychological development of children.They also encourage community interaction：people tend to hang out together a lot more when green spaces are available.
How can we design forests into cities？There are external(外部的) factors in towns that make it challenging to design urban forests into cities.For example，how does a city plant and maintain the trees？Tree canopies(树冠) can block people’s view，which could lead to accidents.Urban trees can also cause damage to buildings，due to their roots，and through the falling of whole trees or branches.
However，if we plan waste removal operations in advance，we can handle this issue efficiently；the waste parts can be used for other purposes，such as timber and fuelwood.
So do we need more urban forests？Absolutely! Urban forests represent a city-dweller’s easiest access to nature.Given that，cities need to find more creative ideas to provide this beautiful resource for their residents!
5．What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3
A．Add some background information.
B．Summarize the previous paragraphs.
C．Give an example to support a theory.
D．Provide readers with some advice.
6．What impact do urban forests have on children
A．Developing writing skills.
B．Improving mental health.
C．Learning responsibility.
D．Mastering gardening tips.
7．What does the underlined word “They” in paragraph 4 refer to
A．Modern cities. B．Environmental issues.
C．Creative ideas. D．Urban forests.
8．What’s the author’s attitude towards urban forests
A．Doubtful. B．Unclear. C．Favorable. D．Negative.
Ⅳ.七选五(每小题2.5分，共12.5分)
Chinese people have appreciated the beauty of lanterns for years.Like a lighthouse that lights up the way home，it is customary to admire the charm of lanterns during Lantern Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival. 1
Lantern shows are held throughout the country on such occasions.Yuyuan Lantern Show in Shanghai and Qinhuai Lantern Show in Nanjing，East China’s Jiangsu Province，are two notable shows. 2 On such occasions，ice sculptures create a fairy tale of light and color.
Mentioning Chinese lanterns would not be complete without mentioning a city in Southwest China’s Sichuan Province，Zigong，often praised as the City of Lanterns.The custom of enjoying lanterns on festivals began in Zigong as early as the Tang Dynasty (618－907)． 3 To add to their beauty，Zigong artisans also use a variety of materials，such as silk，paper，bamboo，straw，cocoon and even porcelain.
Lantern production is now a driving force for the local economy，as most of large-scale lanterns used in festive shows are produced in Zigong. 4 Visitors crowd into Zigong to enjoy lanterns，as well as a variety of other recreational activities.
The skillful hands of Zigong craftsmen have also taken this national intangible heritage abroad，staging views of color and delight at lantern shows in more than 70 countries and regions worldwide. 5

Sam Trull has worked with wildlife for almost 20 years，but she first found her soft spot for sloths(树懒) in 2013 after moving to Costa Rica to work for a small wildlife recovery center called Kids Saving the Rainforest.On arriving there，she took a liking to a two-week-old orphaned(孤儿的) sloth named Kermie.Sloths hug each other for both safety and comfort，so Trull cared for him with tender love，meals，and hugs.Soon other baby sloths were brought in.It was then that she realized that helping the creatures survive was her true calling.
When the sloths were grown and healthy enough to depart，Trull and her team built a 19-foot-cubed cage near the recovery center and left the door open，so the four-legged friends could come and go freely.They spent enough time eating and exploring in the wild so that they could abandon the cage for good.Trull performed it successfully with several sloths who are now living healthily in the jungle.Their movements are tracked thanks to the collars they wear.
Keeping sloths wild and free is a complicated and expensive process.To make it more effective，Trull co-founded the Sloth Institute in 2014.In addition to the education program and the research into sloths，the institute also cooperates with other institutes to better learn how to prepare orphaned sloths brought to the institute for eventual re-entry into the rainforest.The institute is now going smoothly.
Trull published her new book called Slothlove，where she documented the sloths she had saved via photographs.She explained，“A lot of people don’t know getting hit by cars and getting caught in electric wires are particularly dangerous to sloths.People just think they’re adorable and take selfies with them，unaware that the sloth is stressed and upset.”

How to Live a Green Life
Today，faced with serious environmental problems，we must pay attention to them and find solutions.As students，there are plenty of things we can do to live a green life.
Above all，it’s important to quit our bad living habits.For example，don’t leave the tap running while brushing your teeth or leave the house with the lights still on.What’s more，we’d better cycle or use public transport to school instead of taking a car，thus reducing air pollution and relieving traffic jams.Finally，get rid of plastic bags.Instead，bring your own bags or baskets.It’s also a good idea to avoid the use of disposable chopsticks or cups when eating out.
All in all，it’s high time that we took immediate action/should take immediate action.Only when we live a green life can we make a difference to saving our planet.If everyone did his part for the planet，it would be a greener place.

语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了野生动物保护主义者萨姆·特鲁尔来到哥斯达黎加致力于树懒保护工作的感人事迹。
1．D　[细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句可知，特鲁尔来到哥斯达黎加不久，就意识到她的使命是帮助树懒存活下去，即决定要永远从事帮助树懒的工作。故选D。]
2．C　[细节理解题。根据第二段前三句可知，当树懒长大并健康到可以离开时，他们建造笼子，并且让门开着，这样树懒们就可以来去自由了。它们花了足够的时间在野外进食和探索，这样一来它们就可以永远不再需要笼子。因此，他们打造这个笼子是为了训练树懒适应野外生活。故选C。]
3．C　[推理判断题。根据第三段第三句可知，除了教育计划和树懒研究以外，该研究所还与其他研究所合作，以便更好地了解如何为来到研究所的孤儿树懒做好准备，让它们最终能重返雨林。所以树懒研究所会放生更多亲手抚养的树懒。故选C。]
4．D　[推理判断题。文章末尾，特鲁尔说：“许多人不知道，对树懒来说，被汽车撞到和被电线困住尤为危险。人们只是觉得它们很可爱，然后和它们自拍，却没有意识到树懒所承受的压力和不安。”这与出版《树懒之爱》构成因果关系，即作者引用特鲁尔的话是为了解释出版这本书的理由。故选D。]

When places are well-known and popular，we might take it for granted that they’ll be around forever.But sadly，many of the world’s best known and culturally significant landmarks are in trouble.
Mount Kilimanjaro’s peak
This mountain，one of the Seven Summits，proves that even giants can fall to climate change due to the vast amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.While the mountain itself isn’t in danger at present，its iconic snow cap might disappear—and shockingly soon.
Machu Picchu
Located in southern Peru，Machu Picchu is the remains of a huge stone castle that was built during the 15th century.These unbelievable Incan ruins are widely considered one of the must-see spots in South America.However，the site has been a victim of over-tourism，seeing the harmful effects of the crowds it gets as they wear down the structures.In addition，the area surrounding Machu Picchu has seen rapid development of the cities，as well as mudslides and fires，in recent years，leading UNESCO to work for its protection.
Everglades National Park
As “the largest subtropical wilderness reserve” in North America，it’s been a beloved travel destination for American citizens for decades，but the damage of time and human activity have not been kind to it.Its survival first came into question after it was destroyed by Hurricane Andrew in 1993.But it’s human influence that has become the primary threat，as water flow to the site has decreased and the impacts of pollution have increased，resulting in harmful algal blooms(赤潮)．Its vast，diverse wildlife is more threatened than ever before.
1．Which problem does Mount Kilimanjaro face
A．Global warming. B．City development. C．Over-tourism. D．Ice pollution.
2．What do these three places have in common
A．They are the impacts of pollution and mudslides.
B．They are destroyed seriously due to over-tourism.
C．They are famous but affected by human activities.
D．They are considered as victims of global warming.
3．What is threatened by human activity in Everglades National Park
A．Lack of popularity. B．Hurricane Andrew. C．Algal blooms. D．Diverse wildlife.
B
We all have an idea about the common types of environmental problems.However，light pollution may be a new term to many of us.But，the fact is that it does affect mankind，other living forms and the environment as a whole.
What is light pollution？It presents all forms of misused man-made light.The obvious cause of light pollution is the use of outdoor lighting products improperly.It can be office lighting，car headlights，station lights，streetlights and many more.
Light pollution is harmful to both animals and plants.Upon studies，it is found that obvious effects are observed in the behaviour of animals that are active at night.Needless to mention，bright light at night makes it difficult for these animals to hunt，wander and perform their regular activities.Light pollution is directly or indirectly responsible for causing several diseases.Its effects are related to disturbance in the physical rhythm(节奏)．It contributes to risks of developing cancerous cells.So，it’s nothing less than a threat to human health.
You have already seen the negative effects of light pollution on animals and human health.Apart from this，the actual cost of misused light is about millions of dollars every year.It also leads to the release of greenhouse gases and global warming.After all，coal or gas is used for producing electricity.
While outdoor lighting and using man-made lighting products are part of our modern lifestyle，some simple ways will surely help in reducing light pollution.For example，while installing(安装) outdoor lighting，make sure that they are pointed downwards.Also，use only the required lighting equipment for both home and offices.Believe it or not，many people living in the urban areas cannot view clear sky and stars at night.Let’s contribute our part in reducing the pollution.
4．What can we learn about light pollution
A．It has little effect on plants.
B．It contributes to most cancers.
C．It is a negative fruit of light technology.
D．It affects animals’ behavior during the day.
5．Why does light pollution affect the climate
A．It increases the temperature at night.
B．It creates clouds in parts of the Earth.
C．It stops the release of greenhouse gases.
D．It is related to the burning of coal and gas.
6．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Light pollution needs to be dealt with urgently.
B．Only simple ways can help reduce light pollution.
C．There is no clear sky or stars over the urban areas.
D．Citizens should be banned to install outdoor lighting.
7．How can we contribute our part in reducing light pollution
A．Forbid the use of outdoor lighting.
B．Use clean energy to produce electricity.
C．Avoid unnecessary lights at home and offices.
D．Reduce money spent on light in urban areas.
Ⅳ.七选五(每小题2.5分，共12.5分)
It was through Bill Bryson’s book The Lost Continent: Travel in Small-Town America that I first experienced small-town travelling.I was interested instantly on reading it，for driving across the countryside is always something I like.
1 True，the convenience and modernity are what small towns don’t have.However，caught up in the crowd，people tend to lose the true meaning of life.They are moving quickly in the streets，as if there were steamy lava(炙热的熔岩) chasing them.
Many tourists don’t realize the real purpose for travelling is to relax. 2 They manage to escape a nine-to-five schedule of annoying work，only to dive into a nine-to-five schedule of shopping or forcing themselves into packed tourist sites. 3 You don’t get trapped in space filled with tourists，but miles of fields and woods.You don’t get tiny parks with crowds of people，but natural forests where rare animals can be seen.Villagers say hi to you warmly as you drive here and farmers will warmly invite you home.
I once travelled to the Midwest and drove through the countryside.The scenery was absolutely magnificent. 4 Farmers’ houses were in and out of sight behind golden corn.Ponds(池塘) hid themselves behind woods，where a lone fisherman sat there，enjoying life.
Suddenly，it seemed to me that life couldn’t be better.Just throw away the sadness and burdens(负担) that annoy us.What matters is the simple happiness of enjoying life. 5
A．I have never been a fan of huge cities.
B．Cities are full of people we don’t know.
C．Roads found their way through cornfields.
D．Big cities and small towns have their own uniqueness.
E．In big cities，they just leave one busy center，and get right into another.
F．Those problems，however，simply disappear into air in the countryside.
G．So why not leave the noisy cities behind，and get lost in the streets of small towns

If you’re in the market for a new food or water dish for your cat，you might want to check out Free the Ocean’s Bamboo Cat Bowls.These are made of bamboo fibers and rice husks(稻壳) and are more eco-friendly than traditional plastic.
The presence of bamboo used as a renewable filler—is part of what makes the bowl greener.Bamboo，which is technically a grass，grows 30% faster than trees and as much as 1.5 inches per hour! Not surprisingly，it produces 30% more oxygen and absorbs 35% more carbon dioxide than trees，according to Mimi Ausland，founder of Free the Ocean.“It’s a cut-and-come-again plant，which means it can be cropped without disrupting the root ball，reducing carbon giving off when it’s harvested.”
Rice husk is a by-product of rice production that is a challenge to farmers because it is hard to break down and of no great value.Its use as a filler provides a purpose for an otherwise useless material and，along with the bamboo.
Ausland said，“Plastic cat dishes harbor bacteria(细菌)，which can put your cat’s health at risk.Even if pet owners clean them regularly，they cannot be fully sanitized.Plastic bowls are the main cause of cat diseases.”
However，the bamboo cat bowl will not leach(渗入) harmful chemicals into your pet’s water the way that traditional plastic can and it is naturally free of bacteria.
Cats will like the bowls，as they have low edges.With an easy-to-pick-up handle，they come in four colors.
One customer commented，“My cats prefer these cat food bowls just like me.The cats like the low lip that makes it easy to eat out of.And the fact that they’re made of bamboo and that buying them makes a difference to the environment is amazing！And it is easy to wash in the dishwasher.”
1．What is mainly talked about in paragraph 2
A．The importance of bamboo in nature.
B．The advantages of bamboo over grass.
C．The benefits of using bamboo as material.
D．The role of bamboo in reducing pollution.
2．What does the underlined word “sanitized” in paragraph 4 most probably mean
A．Replaced. B．Removed. C．Found. D．Used.
3．What can we infer from the customer’s words
A．Cats have low lips.
B．Cats are easy to satisfy.
C．He is fond of the new bowl.
D．He doesn’t like doing housework.
4．What is the purpose of the passage
A．To promote a new product.
B．To give pet owners some advice.
C．To introduce the functions of bamboo.
D．To point out the link between material and health.

A new device works like a solar panel，except it doesn’t harvest energy from the sun.It harvests energy from the cold night sky.
A prototype(雏形) of the device produced enough electricity at night to power a small light bulb.A bigger version might one day light rooms or charge phones.It also could power the electronics in remote or low resource areas that lack electricity.
The device makes use of the temperature difference between Earth and outer space.It then uses that difference to create electricity.As long as one side of it is cooler than the other，the generator(发电机) can produce electricity.The cooler side faces the sky and is attached to an aluminum plate.That plate is sealed beneath a transparent cover and surrounded with insulation(隔热材料) to keep out heat.The bottom of the generator is attached to an exposed aluminum plate.That plate is warmed by the local air.At night，the top plate can get a couple of degrees Celsius cooler than the bottom of the generator.
Researchers tested a 20-centimeter prototype in Stanford，California at a clear December night.The generator produced up to about 25 milliwatts of power per square meter of a device.That was enough power to light a small light emitting diode，or LED bulb.Further improvement might increase its production to at least 500 milliwatts per square meter.To do that，the system might need more insulation around the cool top plate.
The device also could help power remote weather stations or other environmental devices，says Aaswath Raman.He is a materials scientist who worked on the device at the University of California，Los Angeles.“This may be useful in polar regions that don’t see sunlight for months at a time，” Raman says.“If you have some low power loads and you need to power them through three months of darkness，this might be a way.”
1．What do we know about the new device
A．It gains energy from the sun. B．It’s been widely used in life.
C．It is cooler than a solar panel. D．It might be popular in special areas.
2．What does the author mainly talk about in paragraph 3
A．Application fields of the device.
B．Significant effects of the device.
C．The working principle of the device.
D．The developing process of the device.
3．How can the device produce more electricity
A．By attaching the bottom plate to a warm plate.
B．By covering the top plate with a transparent lid.
C．By using it on extremely cold and clear nights.
D．By putting more insulation around the cool top plate.
4．What can be the best title for the text
A．A Device Using the Cold Night Sky to Produce Electricity
B．A Device Bringing New Hope to People on the Cold Night
C．The Difference Between a Solar Panel and a New Device
D．The Temperature Difference Between Earth and Outer Space

In the last decade，scientists have been going back and forth on one question：does recycling really help the environment？The conclusion at which they have arrived seems to be：yes，it does.However，experts warn that our efforts should not stop there.While recycling is an important part of the solution，it is not necessarily the most important factor.Therefore，I disagree that recycling is the key to a sustainable future.
Compared to other methods to save the Earth，recycling is a much smaller player.According to a recent study，the twenty top petrochemical(石化) companies in the world are responsible for 55% of the world’s single-use plastics，most of which are practically impossible to recycle.This means that asking these major polluters to take responsibility for their harm to the environment would do much more than if every one of us recycled our waste.In addition，a dependence on recycling can take attention away from reducing and reusing，which are more effective in lowering emissions(排放) and in turn helping to create a sustainable future.Therefore，it would do us a lot of good if we focus on these other high-priority solutions rather than simply recycling.
Recycling supporters may argue that recycling is indeed the key to a sustainable future because it helps save a lot of energy by taking what already exists and changing it into something new.While it is true that recycling is a valuable tool in the fight against climate change，it is not the key.Regrettably，it alone is not sufficient.So，while we should continue recycling，we need to go further by taking other actions for our planet.
To conclude，I disagree that recycling is the key to a sustainable future.Having said that，recycling is still beneficial.It is but a small part of an interconnected web of solutions，which on its own can not accomplish much，but together with other efforts，can truly create a sustainable future for us all.
5．Which of the following belongs to “other actions” in paragraph 3
A．Stopping using plastics.
B．Individuals recycling their waste.
C．Using fewer high-emission cars.
D．Changing used things into something new.
6．Why is recycling not that important according to the author
A．It can only save 45% of the energy people need.
B．It does not help with protecting the environment.
C．It stops major polluters from taking responsibility.
D．It plays a small and limited part in sustaining the Earth.
7．What is the key to a sustainable future according to the author
A．Combined efforts of all the solutions.
B．More and more people joining in recycling.
C．Reducing and reusing of single-use plastics.
D．Asking petrochemical companies to be responsible.
8．Why does the author write this article
A．To raise a question. B．To express an idea.
C．To explain a rule. D．To present a solution.

Mars is truly a fascinating planet for those of us here on Earth. 1 It is about half as big as Earth and is often referred to as the Red Planet because of its red surface.
The Red Planet has the largest volcano in the solar system—Olympus Mons. 2 That’s about three times the height of Mount Qomolangma.
Mars also has an atmosphere，but it is very thin and made up mostly of carbon dioxide.Because of its thin atmosphere and greater distance from the Sun，Mars is much colder than Earth. 3 The dust storms of Mars can grow so big that sometimes they blanket the entire planet and last for months.The poles on Mars are a lot like Antarctica，capped by ice，but much of Mars’ ice is made from carbon dioxide，not water.
Scientists believe that studying Mars can help answer some of the key questions about our planet Earth，or even the universe.
4 Since 1960，more than half of all attempted Mars missions have failed.The USA，Russia，the European Space Agency，and several other countries have lost many spacecraft in their quest to explore the Red Planet.However，they will still continue their explorations.Chinese experts are confident about their plan to explore Mars，in spite of the many challenges.The first Mars unmanned spacecraft was launched from Wenchang in 2020.But it is only the beginning of deep voyages into outer space. 5
A．It is roughly 27 kilometres high.
B．Missions to Mars have never been easy.
C．Mars，however，today has no active volcanoes.
D．The temperature at the planet’s surface varies widely.
E．However，Mars does have weather，with clouds and winds.
F．China will continue to explore the mysteries of the universe.
G．It is one of the few planets that we can see with our own eyes.

参考范文
A recent survey regarding After-school Activities was conducted in our school.
As can be seen from the pie chart，the majority of the students surveyed，about 56%，tended to do homework after school.By contrast，playing computer games，doing sports and reading books proved to be less popular，accounting for 22%,13% and 9% respectively.
In my view，the trend mentioned above is basically due to the mounting pressure.To help students get fully developed，it’s sensible to balance study and relaxation—workout and book-reading should be given priority while less time should be spent on screens.Plus，more diverse extra-curricular activities should be provided to cater to different interests and talents.

A United Nations group of experts predicted that global warming would reach extreme levels by the early 2030s.The likely result：ever-worsening weather disasters and related events—hunger，extinction of some plant and wildlife species and the spread of infectious diseases.
There is still time to avoid these disasters，but the window for action is closing quickly.Yet the reality is，few countries are on track to meet their existing goals to address climate change.Luckily，there is one bright note in this otherwise black picture：individual innovators(创新者) are stepping up to try to find solutions to fight climate crisis using technology in new and creative ways.
When Beth began working in the fashion industry，she was disappointed to find that many makers tended to largely guess what people would actually buy.As a result，companies overproduced clothes，creating needless waste and environmental pollution.
To reduce unsold products and material waste in the fashion industry，in 2015，Beth began her own company，Unspun，which seeks solutions by making on-demand custom clothing tailored to a buyer’s body using a 3D-body scan.“We will never make clothes before they have a home.” said Beth.Its self-developed 3D-weaving(编织) machine enables customisation using a body scanner.
Unspun launched its first 3D woven items using the innovative tech last year.Since then，the company has produced thousands of pairs of pants，hats，bags in a test run for a large European retailer(零售商)．
Unspun doesn’t intend to keep its novel production technique to itself.The company is in the process of building microsites around the world to localize 3D weaving production.For example，the company has set up its office in Hong Kong with a focus on business development，marketing and customer services.“Our goal is to reduce the global human carbon footprint by 1 percent，and the only way to realistically get there is to become a platform，working with forward-thinking brands to collectively cleanup the industry，” says Beth.
1．What do the underlined words “bright note” in paragraph 2 refer to
A．Experts’ prediction. B．A new technology.
C．The window for action. D．Individual contribution.
2．What is the purpose of the company “Unspun”？
A．To avoid blind production.
B．To promote the sales of clothing.
C．To produce 3D-weaving machines.
D．To take the lead in the fashion industry.
3．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Hong Kong
A．To test out 3D-weaving machine.
B．To stress its commercial advantages.
C．To show an application of Beth’s idea.
D．To illustrate the significance of teamwork.
4．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Beth：Rising to Fame Overnight
B．Unspun：Weaving Clothes with Zero Waste
C．Global Warming：Issuing a Warning to Earth
D．3D-weaving Machine：Hitting the Market Soon

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分，共20分)
A
Some exhibitions and new displays create lots of waste.So museums are increasingly aware of the role they have to play in dealing with that.At Manchester Museum，John Miller and Robert O’ Conner have developed their own approach to creating a circle from the exhibition，to exhibition changeover，and back to the museum workshop，reusing materials in any way they can.
Holding different exhibitions and displays means that museums are often left with structures(结构体) that won’t be used again.At the end of an exhibition，John and Robert carefully take down and cut all materials into workable units，ready to be reused wherever needed.When Pinc College based at Manchester Museum needed new classrooms，the workshop team were able to use completely recycled materials to build them.
While it’s easy to think of new as being better，reusing materials doesn’t mean you can’t create beautiful displays.Last year，the museum placed Illuminating Nature，a surprising window display showing some objects under UV light.Almost every part of it was reused.The only thing that needed to be bought was the UV lights，proving you don’t need to spend much to create something impressive.
No matter how many materials you try to reuse there will always be something left over.Why not keep an eye out for charities or local groups who would welcome a donation？As with many museums，paint is often bought for an exhibition.And there will be a few extra cans left over.Manchester Museum usually takes them to Betel UK，a charity that supports people losing their jobs.The paint is used by Betel UK in their workshops for people to learn special skills and then refresh furniture(家具) which is then sold in their shops.
The impressive efforts of John and Robert are a shining example of a museum team that is establishing best practices and proving its determination to build a greener world.Their work inspires other teams to move away from the growth-model thinking that’s been influential in museums for the past twenty years.
1．What are John and Robert trying to do
A．Put on exhibitions on waste problems.
B．Improve people’s interest in traditional art.
C．Turn exhibition waste into something useful.
D．Change people’s attitudes to museum exhibitions.
2．Why did the author mention Illuminating Nature in paragraph 3
A．To advertise the beautiful exhibition.
B．To teach people to use UV lights properly.
C．To show a successful case of material reuse.
D．To encourage people to enjoy the beauty of nature.
3．How does Manchester Museum often deal with the leftover paint
A．By storing it away for future use.
B．By selling it to local people at a low price.
C．By using it to decorate the museum again.
D．By donating it to an organization in need of support.
4．What can we say about John and Robert’s practices
A．Their effectiveness has been questioned by other museums.
B．They provide new ideas for the development of museums.
C．They inspire more artists to hold creative exhibitions.
D．Their limitations have been well removed.
B
In a dark room，it may seem there will be little to detect in the darkness.However，a bird in the room will be able to pick up on the magnetic field(磁场) of the earth and will know which direction to fly if it is time to migrate(迁徙)．A snake will detect the presence of humans in the room by sensing their radiation.Each of these creatures could all be sharing exactly the same physical space and have a totally different experience of that space.
Each animal has access to its own sensory environment—called an “umwelt”．“Umwelt” was popularized by a German biologist named Jakob von Uexküll.The word comes from the German for “environment”，but Jakob von Uexküll wasn’t using it to mean the physical environment.He meant the sensory environment，the unique set of smells，sights，sounds and textures that each animal has access to.
Humans can’t sense the faint electric fields that sharks and ducks can，or the magnetic fields that robins and sea turtles detect.Our ears can’t hear the call of rodents and hummingbirds，and our eyes can’t see the light that birds and bees can sense.Our noses can’t detect various odors(气味) that dogs would be able to smell.
So imagining the world as animals perceive it opens up a new appreciation for the everyday wonders of nature.If we think of nature as something remote and distant，accessible only to someone who can go to a national park，we lose the motivation to save and protect it.
Instead，we can go on an adventure just by thinking about the sensory world of the bird that sits on the house opposite us.Then nature would feel like something close.In that case，people will be more motivated to try and protect it.Protecting nature isn’t just about saving whales or pandas，but about protecting things that are close to us.
5．What does the author intend to show by using the example of a dark room
A．Automatic adjustments to the darkness.
B．Important functions of sense organs.
C．Natural strengths of animals and humans.
D．Diverse perceptions of the same environment.
6．What does the underlined word “umwelt” in paragraph 2 mean
A．The natural world. B．The biological science.
C．The surroundings that animals detect. D．The environment that animals live in.
7．What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A．Limitations of human senses.
B．Wonders of living creatures.
C．The lack of animal knowledge.
D．The comparison of organs.
8．What does the author suggest doing
A．Presenting the national parks.
B．Caring about the creatures around us.
C．Rescuing endangered species.
D．Appreciating what we possess.

There are several reasons to use canvas(帆布) grocery bags or reusable grocery bags made from other materials.Some environmental organizations have been pushing for the use of such bags. 1
From an environmental aspect，canvas grocery bags are better choices than paper or plastic bags. 2 Besides，turning to reusable supplies is viewed as greener than using disposable(一次性的) products，many of which wind up in landfills.
Plastic grocery bags have a number of environmental disadvantages.When plastic grocery bags end up in the natural environment，they can cause a wide range of problems.Animals may choke on or be caught in such bags. 3 While the bags may eventually break down，they can poison a wide range of sea creatures along the way.
As anyone who has had a bag broken open in the parking lot knows，it can be very upsetting to lose a lot of groceries to a poorly-constructed grocery bag. 4 They can also be easily washed in the event of leaks or spills.
5 For example，they can be used to pick up books at the library or carry other shopping，and they make great beach bags because of their washability.For people who don’t want to carry around a grocery store logo，canvas grocery bags can be turned inside out and left plain or painted with new designs.
A．Many grocery stores carry canvas grocery bags.
B．Canvas grocery bags have uses beyond the grocery store.
C．Instead，you only have to buy a canvas grocery bag once.
D．What’s worse，plastic can stay in the ocean for thousands of years.
E．They point out reusable bags can be a small change with a big difference.
F．Canvas is more environmentally friendly to produce than paper or plastic.
G．However，canvas grocery bags can hold much more weight than regular ones.

1．C　[细节理解题。根据文章第一段“At Manchester Museum，John Miller and Robert O’ Conner have developed their own approach to creating a circle from the exhibition，to exhibition changeover，and back to the museum workshop，reusing materials in any way they can.”可知，John和Robert尽力将展览废物变成有用的东西。故选C项。]
2．C　[推理判断题。根据文章第三段“While it’s easy to think of new as being better，reusing materials doesn’t mean you can’t create beautiful displays.Last year，the museum placed Illuminating Nature，a surprising window display showing some objects under UV light.Almost every part of it was reused.”可知，第三段提及Illuminating Nature是为了展示一个成功的材料再利用案例。故选C项。]
3．D　[细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“And there will be a few extra cans left over.Manchester Museum usually takes them to Betel UK，a charity that supports people losing their jobs.The paint is used by Betel UK in their workshops for people to learn special skills and then refresh furniture(家具) which is then sold in their shops.”可知，曼彻斯特博物馆将多余的油漆捐赠给一个需要支持的组织。故选D项。]
4．B　[细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The impressive efforts of John and Robert are a shining example of a museum team that is establishing best practices and proving its determination to build a greener world.Their work inspires other teams to move away from the growth-model thinking that’s been influential in museums for the past twenty years.”可知，约翰和罗伯特的举措为博物馆的发展提供了新的思路。故选B项。]

A
Babusha，or “eight-step sands”，got its name because the desert was always just eight steps away from the farmers’ doors.Today，the desert’s southward movement has been stopped thanks to a green belt planted in the last 40 years by Guo Wangang and his colleagues.As a result，Guo was named a National Moral Model in 2020.
Guo is only part of the second generation of “soldiers” to fight against the desert.His father was one of the six men who first began planting trees in Babusha.When Guo’s father fell ill in 1983，he hoped that his son would follow in his footsteps.
Guo remembers being reluctant to give up his stable government job.“My father repeatedly stressed that we had to make sure our farms weren’t eaten by the desert，” Guo said，adding that he eventually agreed to work at the farm because he didn’t want to see the trees die.
However，it was the deadly sandstorm in 1993 that turned Guo into a determined “soldier”．The fast moving brown wall of dust reached high into the sky and turned day into night.Guo was working in the desert with his colleagues when it hit.They only managed to get home after trekking for six hours in darkness.Later，he learned that 23 students were found dead in a river as they tried to get home from school during the sandstorm.
Since then，Guo and his colleagues have continued planting trees every spring and fall，pruning(修剪) them in winter and watching out for fire.Their struggle continues.Today more and more young people have joined with scientific and innovative methods.For example，the farm now is subsidized(资助) by Ant Forest，a public welfare project launched by the e-commerce giant，Alibaba.It rewards users with virtual energy in exchange for low-carbon activities，which can then be used to do things，like having trees planted.
“We need more such young people to help us find other advanced and engineering methods for desertification control，” said Guo Wangang.
1．What was Guo Wangang’s first reaction to his father’s request
A．He advised his father to stop planting trees.

B．Winning National Moral Model title.
C．Seeing his father’s falling ill.
D．Experiencing a deadly sandstorm.
3．Why does the author mention Ant Forest
A．To show young people’s creative methods.
B．To advocate the low-carbon way of living.
C．To praise Ant Forest’s unique contribution.
D．To indicate Guo and his team’s difficulties.
4．What does the author try to express with Guo’s story

B．One tree doesn’t make a forest.
C．Opportunity favours only the prepared mind.
D．Nothing is too difficult if you put your heart into it.

Kenya has been at the forefront(前沿) of the global war on plastic since the government banned single-use plastics in protected areas in June 2020.Unfortunately，the preventive measures have barely received attention.Hundreds of tons of industrial and consumer polymer waste continue to get dumped into landfills daily.However，if 29-year-old Nzambi Matee has her way，the unsightly plastic heaps will soon be transformed into colorful bricks.
The material engineer’s seeking to find a practical solution to control plastic pollution began in 2017.She quit her job and set up a small lab in her mother’s backyard.It took her nine months to produce the first brick and even longer to convince a partner to help build the machinery to make them.But the determined eco-entrepreneur was confident in her idea and did not give up.
She says，“I wanted to use my education to handle plastic waste pollution.But I was very clear that the solution had to be practical，sustainable，and affordable.The best way to do this was by channeling the waste into the construction space and finding the most efficient and affordable material to build homes.” Her company produces over 1,500 bricks a day.The pavers are made using a mix of plastic products that cannot be reprocessed or recycled.
The collected plastic is mixed with sand，heated at very high temperatures，and compressed(压缩) into bricks that vary in color and thickness.The resulting product is stronger，lighter，and about 30 percent cheaper than concrete bricks.More importantly，it helps repurpose the lowest quality of plastic.“There is that waste they cannot process anymore；they cannot recycle.That is what we get，” Matee says.
Matee is not nearly done.Her dream is to reduce the mountain of trash to just a hill by increasing production and expanding her offerings.She says，“The more we recycle the plastic，the more we produce affordable housing，the more we created more employment for the youth.”
5．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 imply
A．Matee’s method can be effective if adopted.
B．Matee’s idea has been widely accepted.
C．Colorful bricks are in huge demand.
D．Plastic waste hasn’t attracted enough attention.
6．Which of the following can best describe Nzambi Matee
A．Generous and ambitious. B．Confident and grateful.
C．Creative and resolved. D．Optimistic and modest.
7．What is Nzambi Matee’s ultimate purpose in using a mix of plastic products
A．To build cheaper houses. B．To support the government.
C．To create job opportunities. D．To tackle plastic pollution.
8．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Kenya：Pioneer in Banning Single-use Plastics
B．Nzambi Matee：Innovator in Solving Plastic Waste
C．Mix of Plastic Products：A New Construction Material
D．Plastic Recycling：A Creative Solution to Pollution

Sometimes you can count on(指望) people to do the right thing.When Dave Tally found a backpack with a laptop and an envelope full of cash in 2020，he could have considered it a very lucky day.The homeless man counted $3,300 in the bag，an amount that would make a huge difference in his life.However，as tempting(诱人的) as it was to keep the money，deep down he knew it wasn’t the right thing to do.
Back then，Tally was sleeping in the basements of local buildings and trying to save up enough money to fix his only source of transportation：his bike.That money could have bought him，a brand new one.Instead，he turned the bag to his boss at the Tempe Community Action Agency，an organization that helps homeless people in the area find jobs.Tally had been working there part-time.
“Finding the envelope with the cash was just exciting.There were lots of crazy thoughts that went through my head，” Tally told ABC News at the time.“I went into the survival mode for a moment，actually more than a moment，thinking about all the things I could do for myself.”
“I beat myself up pretty hard for even thinking I would spend one cent of that person’s money，” Tally added.
After Tally made up his mind to return the bag，he faced the problem of tracking down its owner.There were no identifiers on the backpack or a way to get into the laptop without a password.But then someone suggested checking the flash drive(闪存盘) that they’d also found inside the bag to see if it held any clues(线索)．
It sure did.Arizona State University student Bryan Belanger had uploaded his resume(简历) to the drive，easily providing Tally with his contact information.As it turned out，Bryan Belanger was carrying that cash because he was buying a used car from Craigslist website，and he accidentally left his belongings in a station on the way to work.
注意：续写的词数应为150左右。

4．D　[推理判断题。通读全文，并根据第一段最后两句可知，经过郭万刚和同事们几十年的努力，“八步沙”治理效果明显。由此可推知，文章想通过郭万刚的故事告诉我们“世上无难事，只怕有心人”这个道理。故选D。]
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了材料工程师Nzambi Matee通过自己的努力，创造性地解决塑料垃圾污染的问题。
5．A　[句意理解题。根据画线句子前However可知，这句话的意思与前面内容为转折关系。前句讲政府的一些治理塑料污染的预防措施几乎没有取得实质的效果，大量的垃圾仍然被倒进垃圾填埋场，画线句子的意思与其相反，应为“如果Matee的方法被采用可能会有效”。故选A。]
6．C　[推理判断题。根据第二段中的“But the determined eco-entrepreneur was confident in her idea and did not give up.”可知，Matee对自己的想法绝不会放弃，说明她很有决心；根据第三段第三句可知，她认为最好的方法是将废弃物引入建筑空间，这种想法很有创造性。由以上内容可知，Matee是一个有创造性且有决心的人。故选C。]
7．D　[细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，将塑料产品的混合物做成铺路砖最终目的是解决塑料污染问题。故选D。]
8．B　[标题归纳题。根据第二段第一句及第三段可知，Matee认为解决问题的方法必须具备实用性、持续性以及负担得起，因此提出将塑料垃圾转换到建筑空间之中的想法。B项“Nzambi Matee：解决塑料垃圾污染问题的创新者”符合文章主题。故选B。]
Ⅱ.
1．G　[根据上句“Sometimes you complain without even realizing it，but rarely is it ever helpful.”以及下句讲述这里有一些停止抱怨，放弃消极思想的一些建议可知，空格处应该说怎么做才能停止抱怨，G选项“So how can you manage to force yourselves to end complaining？(那么，怎样才能强迫自己停止抱怨呢？)”发出疑问，该怎么停止抱怨，引出了下文的一些建议，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选G。]
2．C　[空格处是本段小标题，根据下文“stop and force yourself to say something positive instead”以及“Seek the help of a cheerful friend to change you when you complain and help you to see the positive in the situation.”可知，本段讲述强迫自己说一些积极的东西并看到事情积极的一面，C选项“Change the way you think.(改变你的思维方式)”说明了要改变自己的思维模式，也就是要把消极的思维改变为积极的思维，因此概括了本段主要内容，可作为本段小标题，故选C。]

4．B　[根据段落标题“Learn to adapt to the changes.”和空格上文“There are many things you can’t change.”可知，我们要学会适应变化，总有许多事情我们不能改变，不能改变就该接受，因此空格处应该说我们要接受这些我们改变不了的事情，B选项“The best and only thing you can do is to accept them.(你能做得最好也是唯一的事情就是接受它们)”说明要接受那些改变不了的事情，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选B。]
5．D　[空格下文“Maybe it is time to make the hard decision to move on to another job or career.”说的是也许你该换工作了，空格处也应该说有关工作的内容，D项“Are you constantly complaining about your present job？(你是否经常抱怨现在的工作？)”提出你是否抱怨现在的工作的疑问，是有关工作的，job是复现词汇，因此D选项引出下文，符合语境。故选D。]
