Hua from Xingguang Middle School.The topic of my speech is “Why was the Great Wall selected for inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage List?”As we know,the Great Wall was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1987.It's said that the main reason for its inclusion is that it was a great part of Chinese culture and beautifully made to go with the land.The Great Wall is located in the northern part of China,the length of which is about 6,700 kilometers.The Great Wall was originally built in the Qin Dynasty to defend against the attack of the enemies.Not only is the Great Wall a wonder that was created by the ancient Chinese working people but also is one of the greatest projects in the history of human beings.In a word,all of this explains why the Great Wall earned—and deserves—its place on the UNESCO World Heritage List.Thank you for listening.[词块积累]1.wave one's arms 挥动某人的双臂2.fold one's arms 某人双臂交叉3.take one's arm 挽住某人的胳膊4.catch/grab one's arm

parents earned their living in another city,struggling to support our family.I had taken to delivering newspapers to support myself and my education.I would be up every day by 5 am and walk five kilometres from where I lived to the newspaper office.By 6 am,I would collect 50 copies which must have weighed over five kilograms.My delivery range spanned (横跨) three kilometres.After distributing the copies,I would rush home—another three kilometres away—cook my breakfast,and be off to my school.One Friday morning,I got home after my deliveries,finding Afzal,a boy from the neighbourhood,at my doorstep.Afzal said his mother wanted to see me.When I asked him why,Afzal said,“She will tell you.” Tired after walking around for over 11 kilometres,I was looking forward to breakfast and some rest.I assumed his mother wished to subscribe (定期订购) to the newspaper,so I followed him to his home nearby.A woman in her 40s opened the door.I later learned she was Afzal's mother,Mrs Kader.She asked me to sit,pulled up her chair next to mine and gently asked,“Tell me about your routine,right from the time you wake up in the morning.” I wasn't quite sure why she wanted to know,but I told her about my morning job in a few words.She asked me,“How many kilometres do you walk every day?” I replied,“A little more than 11 kilometres.” My reply shocked her.Then she patted my back and went inside,reappearing carrying a large plate full of food for breakfast for me.It was a hearty breakfast,one that brought back memories of happy days spent with my parents.Later,as I was about to leave after thanking them,Mrs Kader asked me to wait and she went inside again.注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式作答。Then Mrs Kader appeared again,with a new

a brand-new black bicycle which I had been looking forward to owning someday.“This is for those who are in need.Therefore,it's for you!” she said with a smile,explaining that she was impressed by my spirit of struggling for life whenever she saw my rushing figure.Mrs Kader put her arms around me,gave me a gentle hug and said,“My boy,you deserve it.” Hearing that,I was shocked and more than appreciative for her generosity and kindness.I didn't even realize that tears had welled up in my eyes.I bowed to Mrs Kader gratefully and left for school.This time I did not have to walk or run in a rush every day—I had the bicycle,which really made my life much easier afterwards.With the incredible bicycle,I could deliver my papers more effectively,thus having more time left for my studies.Even after many years,I still kept this bike in good condition.It witnessed my journey to my new life,and more significantly,it reminded me of a kind-hearted gesture from a

sunflower sea star has been listed as a critically endangered species following a groundbreaking population study led by Oregon State University (OSU) and The Nature Conservancy.“These giant sea stars used to be easy to find and were a hit with divers.Unfortunately,your chances of finding one now are next to nothing in most of the areas near the United States—this listing is one step to extinction—and I don't think they're coming back without help,” said OSU's Sarah Gravem,a research associate in the College of Science and lead author of the study.Populations of the sunflower sea star suffered dramatic crashes because of a marine (海洋的) wildlife epidemic event,which began in 2013.Scientists used more than 61,000 population surveys from 31 data sets to calculate a 90.6% decline in the sunflower sea stars and estimated that as many as 5.75 billion animals died from the disease,whose cause has not been determined.Moreover,the research showed no sign of population recovery in any region in the five to seven years since the event.Sunflower sea stars are a key catcher of purple sea urchins (海胆) and the sea star decline has helped the increase in the urchin population in many regions.Too many urchins are linked to a decline in kelp forests(海藻林) already facing pressure from marine heat wave events,making the future uncertain for ecosystems that provide habitats for thousands of marine animals and help support coastal economies.“Because most people are not out in the ocean every day,we don't realize how much it's being changed and impacted by humans.We need to think about how to keep our ocean healthy.While reducing the release of carbon dioxide is the most pressing need,rebuilding key catcher populations,like the sunflower sea star,can be an important piece of the puzzle too,” said study co author Sara Hamilton,a Ph.D.candidate in the OSU College of Science.1.What can we infer about sunflower sea stars from Sarah Gravem's words A.They present a danger to divers.B.They cannot recover on their own.C.They cannot adapt to the new environment.D.They attract many tourists to the United States.2.What led to the sharp decline in the number of sunflower sea stars A.Human beings' overfishing.B.The arrival of a new species.C.The rising ocean temperature.D.The occurrence of a marine disease.3.What is the relationship between sunflower sea stars and the sea kelp forests A.Their common enemies are sea urchins.B.Sunflower sea stars feed on the sea kelp forests.C.Sunflower sea stars help preserve the sea kelp forests.D.The sea kelp forests provide habitats for sunflower sea stars.4.What might Sara Hamilton agree with A.More species should be introduced to the ocean.B.Scientists play the most important role in protecting the ocean.C.The influence of human activities on the ocean has decreased since 2013.D.More action should be taken to increase the number of sunflower sea stars.BWhen scientists talk about recent extinctions,birds and mammals (哺乳动物) get most of the attention.But the first global analysis of its kind finds it is twice as many plants that have disappeared as birds,mammals,and amphibians (两栖动物) combined.Researchers reviewed published research,international databases,and museum specimens such as grasses from Madagascar,finding that 571 plants species have gone extinct in the past 250 years.One reason why the total is higher than that of the well studied animals is that there are simply more species of plants.Looking at percentages,the situation is worse for mammals and birds.An estimated 5% of those species have gone extinct,compared with 0.2% of plants.The loss includes the Chile sandalwood tree in the South Pacific,which was cut down for its fragrant (芳香的) wood.It was last seen on Robinson Crusoe Island in 1908.The extinction rates among plants have been highest for trees and shrubs on islands,which often have species that occur nowhere else,and in regions with rich diversity,especially the tropics and in Mediterranean climates.Just a few years later,the world lost the banded Trinity (Thismia americana),a leafless plant that grew entirely underground except for its flowers.Most species of this kind of plant grow in rainforests,but this plant was first described in 1912 in a sandy wetland in Chicago,Illinois,and was wiped out by development.According to the team's report in Nature Ecology & Evolution,the total of 571 extinct plant species is four times higher than the official listing kept by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.Even so,it is probably still an underestimate (低估),as less is known about the status of plants in Africa and South America than on other continents.Many of these species may disappear,too.A major review of the status of global biodiversity recently estimated that more than a million species,including 14% of plant and animal diversity,are threatened with extinction.5.What caused the extinction of the Chile sandalwood tree A.Climate change.B.The market demand.C.Environmental pollution.D.The decline of the habitat.6.What do we know about the banded Trinity A.It flowered without bearing seeds.B.It disappeared during the 19th century.C.It was a flowering plant without leaves.D.It was a rare plant growing underground.7.What can we infer about the plant species from the text A.Their current situation is more worrying.B.About one plant species dies out every year.C.More plant species will keep alive in the reserve.D.They would be replaced by other new species soon.8.In which section of the newspaper can we find the text A.Sports. B.Nature.C.Entertainment. D.Figures.Ⅱ.应用文写作假定你是李华,在英国某中学做交换生。你校音乐社团负责人迈克(Mike)业务繁忙,作为成员的你希望当他的助理。请给他写一封自荐信,内容如下:1.自我简介;2.自身优势;3.你的希望。注意:写作词数应为80左右。Dear Mike,________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Yours,Li Hua课时分层作业(十五)Ⅰ.1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8B D C D B C A BⅡ.[参考范文]Dear Mike,I hope this letter finds you well.My name is Li Hua,and I am a member of the school's music club.I am writing to express my interest in serving as your assistant due to your busy schedule.I am strongly convinced that my strong organizational skills and passion for music make me wellsuited for this role.As a team player,I have experience in coordinating events and managing schedules.Additionally,I am skillful in both English and Chinese,which could be beneficial to our multicultural club.I look forward to the opportunity to support you and contribute to the success of our music club.Yours,Li HuaⅠ.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了水中生物——太阳花海星数量下降的原因。1.B [推理判断题。根据文章第二段“‘...Unfortunately,your chances of finding one now are next to nothing in most of the areas near the United States—this listing is one step to extinction—and I don't think they're coming back without help,’ said OSU's Sarah Gravem,a research associate in the College of Science and lead author of the study.”可知,太阳花海星濒临灭绝的危险,需要人们的帮助,因为它们自己无法恢复。]2.D [细节理解题。根据文章第三段的“Populations of the sunflower sea star suffered dramatic crashes because of a marine wildlife epidemic event,which began in 2013.”可知,导致太阳花海星数量急剧下降的原因是海洋性流行疾病的出现。]3.C [推理判断题。根据文章第四段的“Sunflower sea stars are a key catcher of purple sea urchins and the sea star decline has helped the increase in the urchin population in many regions.Too many urchins are linked to a decline in kelp forests already facing pressure from marine heat wave events,making the future uncertain for ecosystems that provide habitats for thousands of marine animals and help support coastal economies.”可知,太阳花海星有助于保护海藻林。]4.D [推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“‘...We need to think about how to keep our ocean healthy.While reducing the release of carbon dioxide is the most pressing need,rebuilding key catcher populations,like the sunflower sea star,can be an important piece of the puzzle too,’ said study coauthor Sara Hamilton,a Ph.D.candidate in the OSU College of Science.”可知,人们应该积极行动起来,采取具体的措施使太阳花海星一类的生物的种群数量复原。]【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现,该研究表明消失的植物数量是鸟类、哺乳动物和两栖动物总和的两倍。5.B [细节理解题。根据文章第三段的“The loss includes the Chile sandalwood tree in the South Pacific,which was cut down for its fragrant wood.”可知,智利檀香树是因为其芳香的木材而被砍伐。由此可知,市场需求导致了智利檀香树的灭绝。]6.C [推理判断题。根据文章第四段的“Just a few years later,the world lost the banded Trinity (Thismia americana),a leafless plant that grew entirely underground except for its flowers.”可推知,美洲水玉杯是一种没有叶子的开花植物。]7.A [推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“According to the team's report in Nature Ecology & Evolution,the total of 571 extinct plant species is four times higher than the official listing kept by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.Even so,it is probably still an underestimate,as less is known about the status of plants in Africa and South America than on other continents.Many of these species may disappear,too.A major review of the status of global biodiversity recently estimated that more than a million species,including 14% of plant and animal diversity,are threatened with extinction.”可知,该团队认为因为人们对非洲和南美洲植物状况的了解比其他大陆的要少,所以灭绝的植物物种总数被低估了。由此推知,植物种类的现状是令人担忧的。]8.B [文章出处题。根据文章第一段“When scientists talk about recent extinctions,birds and mammals get most of the attention.But the first global analysis of its kind finds it is twice as many plants that have disappeared as birds,mammals,and amphibians combined.”以及全文内容可知,这篇文章和自然相关。由此推知,我们可以在报纸的自然版块上找到这篇文章。]1/1 展开更多...... 收起↑ 资源列表 Unit 5 Period 6 写作(Writing).pptx Unit 5 Period 6 .docx 课时分层作业15.docx
