Ⅰ.阅读理解
　　Like many people， Stimpson， who is nearly 80， has noticed an alarming loss of wildlife in his lifetime.The clouds of swifts （雨燕） of his childhood have disappeared.
　　A loss of nesting sites is driving the decline of swifts in the UK， whose numbers are believed to have dropped by about 57％ in 22 years.These birds — which are now on the UK’s red list — are site-specific， meaning each spring they come back to the same spot after flying thousands of miles from Africa.The problem is that lots of old barns （谷仓） and houses have been upgraded and repaired and nesting sites have disappeared.
　　Thirteen years ago no one was making swift boxes， so Stimpson started.“I’m not a carpenter （木匠）； I’m a salesman， but I thought I’d certainly give it a go，” he says.When he started he could make three a day， now on a really good day he can make 30.“The government and big wildlife organisations don’t end up doing much to stop wildlife loss.We seem to have too many penpushers and not enough workers，” he says.“We could do an awful lot more than we’re doing.”
　　He believes local action groups are much more effective and has been working with a number of them.“The number of swift groups that have started up in the last five to eight years is quite staggering.And they seem to go from strength to strength，” he says.
　　“Swifts are the one thing where an individual can make a significant difference，” says Dick Newell， from Action for Swifts， who has 66 pairs of nesting swifts in his village of Landbeach in Cambridgeshire， 20 of them nesting on his house.
　　Newell says developers should put a swift brick in every new building， and he has been working with housebuilding company Taylor Wimpey to make this happen.Exeter city council has started incorporating them into new buildings， as well as the Duchy of Cornwall， and local councils are getting on board.Others are working on bee bricks and hedgehog （刺猬） holes in new developments.
1.What led to the swifts’ decline in the UK？（　　）
A.A loss of food.
B.A lack of nesting sites.
C.Their being removed from the red list.
D.Their deaths during their long journey.
2.What is Stimpson’s attitude towards the practice of the government and big wildlife organisations？（　　）
A.Curious. B.Doubtful.
C.Tolerant. D.Negative.
3.What does the underlined word “staggering” in Paragraph 4 mean？（　　）
A.Misleading. B.Shocking.
C.Confusing. D.Disturbing.
4.What does Newell advise developers to do？（　　）
A.Build fewer buildings in rural areas.
B.Increase buildings made of bricks.
C.Include a swift brick in new buildings.
D.Give special attention to bees and hedgehogs.
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
　　Going on holiday doesn’t have to be bad for the environment， and there are still plenty of ways you can have a much-deserved break without harming the environment.
　　Forget planes.While most forms of transport produce carbon dioxide， planes have a massive carbon footprint because of the huge number of miles they travel.5.（　　） Many of us ignore the
endless beautiful scenery around us.There’s the unparalleled beauty of the Mississippi River.Alternatively， you can drive your car to the Grand Canyon to see its splendor.
　　Pack with care.6.（　　） All of their bottles， from shampoo and conditioner to body wash and moisturizer， are now made from recycled plastic that can be repurposed again and again so no new plastic is produced.And their iconic soap bars now also come in plastic-free packaging.
　　7.（　　） Hotels can be huge producers of greenhouse gases.Think about the water that’s wasted and all the buffet food that goes uneaten.So choose an eco-friendly option instead.Camping and a home stay — where you live with a family in their own home — are two of the best options.But if you insist on staying in the hotel， pick one made from sustainable materials.8.（　　）
　　Buy gifts responsibly.Bringing back gifts for friends and loved ones is part of the fun of a holiday.9.（　　） Avoid anything plastic， or if it is plastic， make sure it is 100％ recyclable， and make sure your friends will love whatever you give them so it isn’t just thrown in the bin headed for landfill.
A.Think about green accommodation.
B.Consider living in an eco-friendly hotel.
C.But make sure you choose items carefully.
D.Take brand-name beauty and bath products with you.
E.It’s also acceptable to live in a hotel using new energy.
F.So why not skip flying in favor of a holiday closer to home？
G.So why do planes consume so much fuel compared with other transport？

　　At the beginning of my seventh grade in school， Mrs Green came into our classroom， and with her was a girl called Maria， who joined us that year.
　　I found Maria fascinating because of her confidence and the way she carried herself.She walked gracefully and had a trendy haircut.All of us kept talking about her during the lunch break.It was as if she was pulling us along with an invisible thread （线）.Soon， it became a custom to gather around her desk during the break， to listen to her stories.
　　I started hanging out more with Maria and waving away my friends， telling them that I would catch up later on.One day， Maria invited me to her house.I couldn’t wait to go because I knew that such a sophisticated （见过世面的） girl would surely have a luxurious （奢华的） house.
　　And I was right.It was a three-storey building.Outside there was a large garage （车库）.Servants attended our every need.But I was shocked to see the ill-treatment she gave them.Later， Maria and I were called down for lunch.The meal was wonderful， but she complained that it was too dry.Then， when she asked her parents if we could watch a movie， they refused.At this， she sharply talked back to them.But despite the incidents， I chose to ignore Maria’s flaws （缺点） and focused on the enjoyable moments we shared together.
　　From that day onwards， I spent most of my school time with Maria， casting my old friends aside.Because her company was much more interesting than theirs.
　　A month later， I was studying when suddenly my younger brother came out from behind my chair and gave me a sharp push.I shouted rudely in a way I had never done before.My mother came and said that she had been noticing changes in me for many weeks.Shouting at my brother had become a constant habit of mine and I was also talking back to the elders in the house.

语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。在英国，随着雨燕筑巢地点的减少，雨燕的数量急剧下降。八旬老人为雨燕制作巢穴，为它们提供了安全的栖息地。
1.B　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知，在英国，雨燕筑巢地点的减少导致了雨燕数量的下降。
2.D　观点态度题。根据第三段中The government and big wildlife ...stop wildlife loss.可知，Stimpson表示，政府和大型野生动物组织说得多，做得少，并没有采取多少措施来阻止野生动物减少。由此可推知，Stimpson对政府和大型野生动物组织的做法持负面的态度。
3.B　词义猜测题。根据画线词上下文可知，在过去的五到八年里，保护雨燕的组织开始增加，如今已经数量“惊人”，而且他们似乎还会不断壮大。故画线词意为“惊人的”。
4.C　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的Newell says developers should put a swift brick in every new building可知，Newell建议开发商在新建大楼上为雨燕留出筑巢砖。

7.A　根据下文So choose an eco-friendly option instead.可知，本段主要建议选择一个环保的住处。A项（考虑环保住宿）能够概括本段主旨。
8.E　根据上文But if you insist on staying in the hotel， pick one made from sustainable materials.可知，空处应承接上文，继续说明要选择怎样的酒店，E项（住在使用新型能源的酒店里也是可以接受的）符合语境。
9.C　空前说到带礼物是旅行的乐趣，空后则说明了要如何挑礼物才能不浪费。由此可知，空处应有转折意义，引出需要慎重选择礼物，C项符合语境。
Ⅲ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。年过花甲的Ozer Ismail因双手经历数次手术而无法继续从事先前的工作，但他不愿碌碌无为地度过余生。通过参加培训，他最终成为一家快递公司的保安主管。

　　I argued， but eventually， I realised the problem of my ways — all under the influence of Maria’s company.I was shocked at myself and felt that the fault was in me and that I should immediately deal with it.I apologised to my brother and reflected on my actions.Slowly， I reconnected with my old friends and made an effort to rebuild those relationships.It wasn’t easy， but I knew it was important to surround myself with people who would positively shape my character.Luckily， with time and sincere efforts， my old friends gradually accepted my back into their lives.
　　I continued my friendship with Maria， but I also found ways to help her recognise her flaws.With honesty and care， I had a conversation about her behaviour and its consequences.Gradually， she began to understand.I shared my own growth experiences and encouraged self-reflection.When I introduced her to my friends， they exemplified humility.Maria transformed， treating everyone with kindness， even her household’s staff.Her parents acknowledged the positive influence.Our friendship strengthened as we supported each other’s personal growth.We learned that true worth lies in how we treat others.

An adventure in Africa
　　30 June， Morocco
　　My parents and I had just driven down the narrow mountain road from Marrakesh， with all its sharp bends①， and had finally arrived at Merzouga.[1] Before us stretched the unending sand dunes② that marked the beginning of the Sahara.[2] A small boy walked past with a group of noisy goats③ as I took a long look at the yellow roadside sign that told us we were entering a “fragile④ natural environment”. I made a resolution⑤ to respect and protect this unique landscape while I was here.[3] We set off⑥， our vehicle quietly running over the sand and small stones.[4] It wasn’t long before we were surrounded by enormous sand dunes towering⑦ above us on all sides. The wind was blowing grains⑧ of sand from the tops of the dunes， the sun was beating down⑨ hard and bright， and the sky was a deep shade of blue that I had never seen before. The wild beauty of the desert was about to reveal itself. There was not a plant to be seen. [5]The desert appeared completely empty， which was calming and threatening at the same time. The colours of the dunes contrasted⑩ strikingly with the blue of the cloudless sky .
　　[1]地点状语置于句首时，句子要用完全倒装；that 引导定语从句，修饰先行词 sand dunes， that在从句中作主语。
　　[2]as引导时间状语从句；that引导定语从句，修饰先行词roadside sign， that在从句中作主语。
　　[3]our vehicle quietly running ...为独立主格结构（名词＋动词-ing形式），在句中作状语。
　　[4]it wasn’t long before ... 意为“不久就……”；动词-ing短语towering ...作后置定语，修饰名词sand dunes。
　　[5]which引导非限制性定语从句，which指代前面整个主句的内容，which在从句中作主语。
　　Eventually， as the last rays of sunlight were falling on the sand， we arrived at our desert camp. Stars were already shining brightly in the darkening sky and it was getting cold with the approach of the night. [6]Three camels ， slowly chewing ， were resting on their knees and watching our arrival with interest . “So， which one of you lucky animals will be my ride tomorrow？” I said out loud as I grabbed my bag and headed towards the warm campfire. I was starving and rushed to put a steak on the barbecue .
　　[6]动词-ing短语slowly chewing作伴随状语，修饰整个句子。
　　3 July， Kenya
　　A few days after our departure from the camp， our car was well and truly stuck in the mud . We were very near to our rest camp in Amboseli National Park located on the border of Kenya when my father， against my mother’s advice， decided to drive through a large pool of water that stretched across the dirt road. [7]Two tall slim local people were standing by the roadside watching us with amusement. They must have realized that we were totally helpless， for after a few moments， they wandered over and pushed us free. My father smiled weakly and we drove on as my mother and I waved from the car window.
　　[7]动词-ing短语watching us with amusement作伴随状语。
　　We found a parking space next to our hut ， which was round and made from brick.[8]The walls， painted brilliant white， reflected the afternoon sun. There were five similar huts， all lined up facing Mount Kilimanjaro， the highest mountain in Africa. The mountain rose up over the plains before us. [9]Tall grasses and trees dotted the plains， which were alive with the African wildlife we had come to see.Giraffes， with their long necks， were pulling leaves from the highest branches. [10]In the distance， elephants were eating grass， ears flapping lazily as they moved slowly over the plains.I had never seen anything like this before. It was indeed the greatest show on the Earth.
　　[8]过去分词短语painted brilliant white作定语，修饰名词walls。
　　[9]which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词plains；we had come to see为定语从句，修饰先行词African wildlife，从句中省略了关系代词which或that。
　　[10]ears flapping lazily为独立主格结构；as引导时间状语从句，意为“一边……一边……”。

非洲奇遇
　　6月30日，摩洛哥
　　我和父母刚从马拉喀什驱车，沿着狭窄的山路，一路急转弯，终于到达了梅尔祖卡。在我们面前的是绵延不绝的沙丘，它们标志着撒哈拉沙漠的起点。我盯着黄色路标时，一个小男孩赶着一群吵闹的山羊走过。根据路标提示我们正在进入“脆弱的自然环境”。当我在此地的时候，我下定决心要尊重和保护这片独特的风景。我们出发了，车在沙子和小石子上静静驶过。很快我们就被四周高耸的巨大沙丘包围住。风吹动着沙丘顶上的沙粒，阳光猛烈而耀眼地照射着，天空是我以前从未见过的深蓝色。沙漠的野性之美即将显露。目光所及之处，一棵植物都没有。沙漠似乎空无一物，这既使人平静，又让人害怕。沙丘的颜色与晴空的蓝色形成了鲜明的对比。
　　当夕阳的余晖洒在沙地上时，我们终于抵达了沙漠营地。星星已经在黑沉沉的天空中闪闪发光。随着夜幕降临，天也渐渐变冷了。三只骆驼跪着休息，慢吞吞地嚼着东西，饶有兴致地注视着我们的到来。“那么，明天你们哪一个幸运儿会成为我的坐骑呢？”我一边大声说道，一边拿起包朝温暖的篝火走去。我饿极了，急忙把一块牛排放在烤肉架上。
　　7月3日，肯尼亚
　　离开营地几天后，我们的车就完完全全陷在泥里了。父亲先前不听母亲的劝告，决定开车穿过横跨在泥路上的一大滩水，当时我们离位于肯尼亚边境的安博塞利国家公园休息营地非常近。两个瘦高的当地人站在路边忍俊不禁地看着我们。他们一定意识到了我们完全无能为力，因为过了一会儿，他们便走过来，把我们的车从泥地里推出去。父亲勉强笑了笑，我和母亲从车窗挥手，便继续前行了。
　　我们在小屋旁边找到了一个停车位，小屋是圆形的，用砖砌成。墙壁被漆成亮白色，反射着午后的阳光。有五间类似的小屋，都排成一排，面向非洲的最高山脉——乞力马扎罗山。那座山屹立在我们面前的平原上。高高的草丛和树木点缀着平原，平原上到处都是我们此行要看的非洲野生动物。长颈鹿伸着长长的脖子，从最高的树枝上咬下叶子。远处，大象正在吃草，耳朵懒洋洋地拍打着，在平原上缓缓移动。我以前从没见过这样的场景。这的确是地球上最壮观的景象。
　　我们下了车，提着手提箱和几盒食物进了小屋。我把火腿三明治、香肠和一把香蕉放在一张小木桌上。我回到车上，又拿了些物品。就在那时，我注意到一只灰色的小猴子坐在几米开外的树上，吃着一根香蕉。“太可爱了。”我心想，直到我意识到他吃的正是我的香蕉！他目不转睛地看着我，开心地吃完最后一口。我确定他是在说：“谢谢。”“不客气，”我回答道。

An adventure in Africa
　　30 June， Morocco
　　My parents and I had just driven down the narrow mountain road from
Marrakesh， with all its sharp bends①， and had finally arrived at
Merzouga.[1] Before us stretched the unending sand dunes② that marked
the beginning of the Sahara.[2] A small boy walked past with a group of
noisy goats③ as I took a long look at the yellow roadside sign that told us
we were entering a “fragile④ natural environment”. I made a resolution
⑤ to respect and protect this unique landscape while I was here.[3] We set
off⑥， our vehicle quietly running over the sand and small stones.[4] It
wasn’t long before we were surrounded by enormous sand dunes
towering⑦ above us on all sides.
The wind was blowing grains⑧ of sand from the tops of the dunes， the
sun was beating down⑨ hard and bright， and the sky was a deep shade of
blue that I had never seen before. The wild beauty of the desert was about
to reveal itself. There was not a plant to be seen. [5]The desert appeared
completely empty， which was calming and threatening at the same time.
The colours of the dunes contrasted⑩ strikingly with the blue of the
cloudless sky .
　　[1]地点状语置于句首时，句子要用完全倒装；that 引导定语从
句，修饰先行词 sand dunes， that在从句中作主语。
　　[2]as引导时间状语从句；that引导定语从句，修饰先行词
roadside sign， that在从句中作主语。
　　[3]our vehicle quietly running ...为独立主格结构（名词＋动词-
ing形式），在句中作状语。
　　[4]it wasn’t long before ... 意为“不久就……”；动词-ing短
语towering ...作后置定语，修饰名词sand dunes。
　　[5]which引导非限制性定语从句，which指代前面整个主句的内
容，which在从句中作主语。

the cloudless sky 晴朗的天空
　　Eventually， as the last rays of sunlight were falling on the sand，
we arrived at our desert camp. Stars were already shining brightly in the
darkening sky and it was getting cold with the approach of the night.
[6]Three camels ， slowly chewing ， were resting on their knees and
watching our arrival with interest . “So， which one of you lucky
animals will be my ride tomorrow？” I said out loud as I grabbed my bag
and headed towards the warm campfire. I was starving and rushed to put
a steak on the barbecue .
　　[6]动词-ing短语slowly chewing作伴随状语，修饰整个句子。
　　3 July， Kenya
　　A few days after our departure from the camp， our car was well
and truly stuck in the mud . We were very near to our rest camp in
Amboseli National Park located on the border of Kenya when my
father， against my mother’s advice， decided to drive through a large
pool of water that stretched across the dirt road. [7]Two tall slim local
people were standing by the roadside watching us with amusement. They
must have realized that we were totally helpless， for after a few
moments， they wandered over and pushed us free. My father smiled
weakly and we drove on as my mother and I waved from the car window.
　　[7]动词-ing短语watching us with amusement作伴随状语。
　　We found a parking space next to our hut ， which was round and
made from brick.[8]The walls， painted brilliant white， reflected the
afternoon sun. There were five similar huts， all lined up facing Mount
Kilimanjaro， the highest mountain in Africa. The mountain rose up over
the plains before us. [9]Tall grasses and trees dotted the plains， which
were alive with the African wildlife we had come to see.Giraffes， with
their long necks， were pulling leaves from the highest branches. [10]In
the distance， elephants were eating grass， ears flapping lazily as they
moved slowly over the plains.I had never seen anything like this before. It
was indeed the greatest show on the Earth.
　　[8]过去分词短语painted brilliant white作定语，修饰名词walls。
　　[9]which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词plains；we had
come to see为定语从句，修饰先行词African wildlife，从句中省略了
关系代词which或that。
　　[10]ears flapping lazily为独立主格结构；as引导时间状语从句，
意为“一边……一边……”。

　　We got out of the car， carrying our suitcases and boxes of food into
the hut. I placed ham sandwiches， sausages and a bunch of
bananas on a small wooden table. I returned to the car and fetched more
possessions . [11]It was then that I noticed a small grey monkey sitting
on a tree a few metres away and eating a banana. “So cute，” I thought
to myself， until I realized it was my banana that he was eating！ He was
looking at me intently as he enjoyed the final mouthful. I was sure he
was saying， “Thank you.” “You’re welcome，” I replied.
　　[11]本句为强调句，被强调的部分是时间状语 then。该强调句中又包含“感官动词（notice）＋宾语＋宾语补足语（动词-ing形

【参考译文】
非洲奇遇
　　6月30日，摩洛哥
　　我和父母刚从马拉喀什驱车，沿着狭窄的山路，一路急转弯，终
于到达了梅尔祖卡。在我们面前的是绵延不绝的沙丘，它们标志着撒
哈拉沙漠的起点。我盯着黄色路标时，一个小男孩赶着一群吵闹的山
羊走过。根据路标提示我们正在进入“脆弱的自然环境”。当我在此
地的时候，我下定决心要尊重和保护这片独特的风景。我们出发了，
车在沙子和小石子上静静驶过。很快我们就被四周高耸的巨大沙丘包
围住。风吹动着沙丘顶上的沙粒，阳光猛烈而耀眼地照射着，天空是
我以前从未见过的深蓝色。沙漠的野性之美即将显露。目光所及之
处，一棵植物都没有。沙漠似乎空无一物，这既使人平静，又让人害
怕。沙丘的颜色与晴空的蓝色形成了鲜明的对比。
　　当夕阳的余晖洒在沙地上时，我们终于抵达了沙漠营地。星星已
经在黑沉沉的天空中闪闪发光。随着夜幕降临，天也渐渐变冷了。三
只骆驼跪着休息，慢吞吞地嚼着东西，饶有兴致地注视着我们的到
来。“那么，明天你们哪一个幸运儿会成为我的坐骑呢？”我一边大
声说道，一边拿起包朝温暖的篝火走去。我饿极了，急忙把一块牛排
放在烤肉架上。
　　7月3日，肯尼亚
　　离开营地几天后，我们的车就完完全全陷在泥里了。父亲先前不
听母亲的劝告，决定开车穿过横跨在泥路上的一大滩水，当时我们离
位于肯尼亚边境的安博塞利国家公园休息营地非常近。两个瘦高的当
地人站在路边忍俊不禁地看着我们。他们一定意识到了我们完全无能
为力，因为过了一会儿，他们便走过来，把我们的车从泥地里推出
去。父亲勉强笑了笑，我和母亲从车窗挥手，便继续前行了。
　　我们在小屋旁边找到了一个停车位，小屋是圆形的，用砖砌成。
墙壁被漆成亮白色，反射着午后的阳光。有五间类似的小屋，都排成
一排，面向非洲的最高山脉——乞力马扎罗山。那座山屹立在我们面
前的平原上。高高的草丛和树木点缀着平原，平原上到处都是我们此
行要看的非洲野生动物。长颈鹿伸着长长的脖子，从最高的树枝上咬
下叶子。远处，大象正在吃草，耳朵懒洋洋地拍打着，在平原上缓缓
移动。我以前从没见过这样的场景。这的确是地球上最壮观的景象。
　　我们下了车，提着手提箱和几盒食物进了小屋。我把火腿三明
治、香肠和一把香蕉放在一张小木桌上。我回到车上，又拿了些物
品。就在那时，我注意到一只灰色的小猴子坐在几米开外的树上，吃
着一根香蕉。“太可爱了。”我心想，直到我意识到他吃的正是我的
香蕉！他目不转睛地看着我，开心地吃完最后一口。我确定他是在
说：“谢谢。”“不客气，”我回答道。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
　　Like many people， Stimpson， who is nearly 80， has noticed an
alarming loss of wildlife in his lifetime.The clouds of swifts （雨燕） of
his childhood have disappeared.
　　A loss of nesting sites is driving the decline of swifts in the UK，
whose numbers are believed to have dropped by about 57％ in 22
years.These birds — which are now on the UK’s red list — are site-
specific， meaning each spring they come back to the same spot after
flying thousands of miles from Africa.The problem is that lots of old barns
（谷仓） and houses have been upgraded and repaired and nesting sites
have disappeared.
　　Thirteen years ago no one was making swift boxes， so Stimpson
started.“I’m not a carpenter （木匠）； I’m a salesman， but I
thought I’d certainly give it a go，” he says.When he started he could
make three a day， now on a really good day he can make 30.“The
government and big wildlife organisations don’t end up doing much to
stop wildlife loss.We seem to have too many penpushers and not enough
workers，” he says.“We could do an awful lot more than we’re
doing.”
　　He believes local action groups are much more effective and has been
working with a number of them.“The number of swift groups that have
started up in the last five to eight years is quite staggering.And they seem
to go from strength to strength，” he says.
　　“Swifts are the one thing where an individual can make a significant
difference，” says Dick Newell， from Action for Swifts， who has 66
pairs of nesting swifts in his village of Landbeach in Cambridgeshire， 20
of them nesting on his house.
　　Newell says developers should put a swift brick in every new
building， and he has been working with housebuilding company Taylor
Wimpey to make this happen.Exeter city council has started incorporating
them into new buildings， as well as the Duchy of Cornwall， and local
councils are getting on board.Others are working on bee bricks and
hedgehog （刺猬） holes in new developments.

本文是一篇新闻报道。在英国，随着雨燕筑巢地点的减
少，雨燕的数量急剧下降。八旬老人为雨燕制作巢穴，为它们提供
了安全的栖息地。
1. What led to the swifts’ decline in the UK？（　　）
A. A loss of food.
B. A lack of nesting sites.
C. Their being removed from the red list.
D. Their deaths during their long journey.
解析：　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知，在英国，雨燕筑
巢地点的减少导致了雨燕数量的下降。
2. What is Stimpson’s attitude towards the practice of the government
and big wildlife organisations？（　　）
A. Curious. B. Doubtful.
C. Tolerant. D. Negative.
解析：　观点态度题。根据第三段中The government and big
wildlife ...stop wildlife loss.可知，Stimpson表示，政府和大型野生
动物组织说得多，做得少，并没有采取多少措施来阻止野生动物减
少。由此可推知，Stimpson对政府和大型野生动物组织的做法持负
面的态度。
3. What does the underlined word “staggering” in Paragraph 4 mean？
（　　）
A. Misleading. B. Shocking.
C. Confusing. D. Disturbing.
解析：　词义猜测题。根据画线词上下文可知，在过去的五到八
年里，保护雨燕的组织开始增加，如今已经数量“惊人”，而且他
们似乎还会不断壮大。故画线词意为“惊人的”。
4. What does Newell advise developers to do？（　　）
A. Build fewer buildings in rural areas.
B. Increase buildings made of bricks.
C. Include a swift brick in new buildings.
D. Give special attention to bees and hedgehogs.
解析：　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的Newell says developers
should put a swift brick in every new building可知，Newell建议开发
商在新建大楼上为雨燕留出筑巢砖。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
　　Going on holiday doesn’t have to be bad for the environment， and
there are still plenty of ways you can have a much-deserved break without
harming the environment.
　　Forget planes.While most forms of transport produce carbon
dioxide， planes have a massive carbon footprint because of the huge
number of miles they travel.5.（　　） Many of us ignore the endless
beautiful scenery around us.There’s the unparalleled beauty of the
Mississippi River.Alternatively， you can drive your car to the Grand
Canyon to see its splendor.
　　Pack with care.6.（　　） All of their bottles， from shampoo and
conditioner to body wash and moisturizer， are now made from recycled
plastic that can be repurposed again and again so no new plastic is
produced.And their iconic soap bars now also come in plastic-free
packaging.
　　7. （　　） Hotels can be huge producers of greenhouse
gases.Think about the water that’s wasted and all the buffet food that
goes uneaten.So choose an eco-friendly option instead.Camping and a
home stay — where you live with a family in their own home — are two of
the best options.But if you insist on staying in the hotel， pick one made
from sustainable materials.8.（　　）
　　Buy gifts responsibly.Bringing back gifts for friends and loved ones
is part of the fun of a holiday.9.（　　） Avoid anything plastic， or if it
is plastic， make sure it is 100％ recyclable， and make sure your friends
will love whatever you give them so it isn’t just thrown in the bin headed
for landfill.
A. Think about green accommodation.
B. Consider living in an eco-friendly hotel.
C. But make sure you choose items carefully.
D. Take brand-name beauty and bath products with you.
E. It’s also acceptable to live in a hotel using new energy.
F. So why not skip flying in favor of a holiday closer to home？
G. So why do planes consume so much fuel compared with other
transport？
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了有助于在度假时更好地
保护环境的几条建议。

坐飞机出行，而是在家附近游览。
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了有助于在度假时更好地
保护环境的几条建议。
6. D　根据段首句和空后一句可知，空处应是建议带某些产品，所以
D项符合语境，其中的bath products 呼应下文的shampoo， body
wash， soap bars等洗浴用品。
7. A　根据下文So choose an eco-friendly option instead.可知，
本段主要建议选择一个环保的住处。A项（考虑环保住宿）能够概
括本段主旨。
8. E　根据上文But if you insist on staying in the hotel， pick one made
from sustainable materials.可知，空处应承接上文，继续说明要选择怎
样的酒店，E项（住在使用新型能源的酒店里也是可以接受的）符合
语境。
9. C　空前说到带礼物是旅行的乐趣，空后则说明了要如何挑礼物才
能不浪费。由此可知，空处应有转折意义，引出需要慎重选择礼物，
C项符合语境。

Ⅳ.读后续写
　　阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构
成一篇完整的短文。
　　At the beginning of my seventh grade in school， Mrs Green came
into our classroom， and with her was a girl called Maria， who joined us
that year.
　　I found Maria fascinating because of her confidence and the way she
carried herself.She walked gracefully and had a trendy haircut.All of us
kept talking about her during the lunch break.It was as if she was pulling
us along with an invisible thread （线）.Soon， it became a custom to
gather around her desk during the break， to listen to her stories.
　　I started hanging out more with Maria and waving away my friends，
telling them that I would catch up later on.One day， Maria invited me to
her house.I couldn’t wait to go because I knew that such a sophisticated
（见过世面的） girl would surely have a luxurious （奢华的） house.
　　And I was right.It was a three-storey building.Outside there was a
large garage （车库）.Servants attended our every need.But I was
shocked to see the ill-treatment she gave them.Later， Maria and I were
called down for lunch.The meal was wonderful， but she complained that
it was too dry.Then， when she asked her parents if we could watch a
movie， they refused.At this， she sharply talked back to them.But
despite the incidents， I chose to ignore Maria’s flaws （缺点） and
focused on the enjoyable moments we shared together.
　　From that day onwards， I spent most of my school time with
Maria， casting my old friends aside.Because her company was much
more interesting than theirs.
　　A month later， I was studying when suddenly my younger brother
came out from behind my chair and gave me a sharp push.I shouted rudely
in a way I had never done before.My mother came and said that she had
been noticing changes in me for many weeks.Shouting at my brother had
become a constant habit of mine and I was also talking back to the elders in
the house.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
　　I argued， but eventually， I realised the problem of my ways —
all under the influence of Maria’s company. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　I continued my friendship with Maria， but I also found ways to
help her recognise her flaws. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　I argued， but eventually， I realised the problem of my ways —
all under the influence of Maria’s company.I was shocked at myself
and felt that the fault was in me and that I should immediately deal with
it.I apologised to my brother and reflected on my actions.Slowly， I
reconnected with my old friends and made an effort to rebuild those
relationships.It wasn’t easy， but I knew it was important to surround
myself with people who would positively shape my
character.Luckily， with time and sincere efforts， my old friends
gradually accepted my back into their lives.
参考范文：
　　I continued my friendship with Maria， but I also found ways to
help her recognise her flaws.With honesty and care， I had a
conversation about her behaviour and its consequences.Gradually， she
began to understand.I shared my own growth experiences and
encouraged self-reflection.When I introduced her to my friends， they
exemplified humility.Maria transformed， treating everyone with
kindness， even her household’s staff.Her parents acknowledged the
positive influence.Our friendship strengthened as we supported each
other’s personal growth.We learned that true worth lies in how we
treat others.
