“For thousands of years, humans have raced
to be the first. Now, in some cases, we’re racing
to be the last,” said The New York Times’ Paige
McClanahan. This is the spirit at the heart of
last-chance tourism, a rising industry.
Last-chance tourism is about 1 the last of something, that’s to say, visiting places before they disappear. Rising temperature and water levels mean that we may never get another 2 to see certain islands, glaciers (冰川), animals, and so on before they disappear.
This may sound 3 , but some people are using last -chance tourism as a way to spread environmental awareness. One 4 is “the Sea of Ice” in Chamonix, France. The Chamonix ski resort (度假村) opened a glacier museum in 2012. There tourists can learn about glaciers and 5 climate change influences places like“the Sea of Ice”. This effort seems to have a(n) 6 . A survey showed that 80 percent of visitors said they would 7 to learn more about the environment and how to protect it.

tourism may also be speeding up the effects of climate change. As more people rush to endan - gered natural places, they 9 a bigger and
bigger carbon (碳) footprint, leading to the destruction of these places in the end. At the end of the day, it’s not just about understanding the need to stop climate change; it’s even more 10

Alex and his classmates are working on a project about the Great Lakes. Here is the information sheet they have made.
Part 1: Facts The Great Lakes — Ontario, Huron, Michigan, Erie and Superior — are five freshwater giants. They span across eight US states and two Canadian provinces. Part 2: Comparison ●Lake Ontario This lake has the smallest surface area at 7,336 square miles. Three dams (大坝) control the flow of water downstream and include locks so boats can enter from the Atlantic. ●Lake Huron This is the second largest lake by surface area in the system and home to Manitoulin Island, the world’s largest freshwater island. ●Lake Michigan It is joined to Lake Huron by the five-mile-wide Straits (海峡) of Mackinac, though they are still classed as two separate bodies. ●Lake Erie With a depth of 64 meters, this is the shallowest (最浅的) of the Great Lakes. It is generally the warmest, but also gets frozen more quickly than the others. ●Lake Superior At 406 meters deep, the distance from the lake’s surface to its deepest point is about the same as the length of four football pitches (球场).
Part 3: ▲ Covering an area of 94,250 square miles, these huge bodies of water take up more than one -fifth of the world’s total freshwater. The Great Lakes provide drinking water for more than 40 million people, important shipping routes for more than 800 ocean ships, and keep a rich ecosystem for fishing and agriculture. They also support wildlife, the national economy and the environment.

The UN has made two big decisions. It said 2025 would be the Year of Glacier Preservation. Also, March 21, 2025, was set as the first World
Day for Glaciers. Why Because glaciers are super important for life on Earth, and the UN wants everyone to help protect them.
Glaciers are made of ice and snow. They move slowly across the land. As years go by, layer after layer of snow piles up (堆积) and becomes glacier ice. Glaciers have changed the shape of mountains and valleys over a long time. They’re still doing this today. When glaciers melt, they give nutrients to lakes, rivers, and oceans. These nutrients are like the building blocks of the food chain in water. They also create homes for lots of plants and animals near streams. What’s more, glaciers are a really important water source. Around 10%
of the world’s land has glaciers, and they store
about 70% of Earth’s fresh water.
But glaciers are in big trouble now. Climate
change is making them disappear. In Colombia,
for example, 90% of its glaciers have been lost
since the mid -19th century. If the temperature
keeps going up, glaciers will lose even more mass
by 2100. This will mean less water for people to
drink and use for farming. It will also put more
pressure on local ecosystems and make floods
more dangerous. So, it’s really important that we
all work together to protect glaciers.
6. Why did the UN set the Year of Glacier
Preservation and World Day for Glaciers
A. To encourage people to protect glaciers for
the future.
B. To attract more people to visit glacier areas.
C. To study the structure of glaciers better.
D. To show the power of glaciers in shaping the
Earth.
7. The underlined word“mass” in the passage
probably means ______.
A. color B. shape
C. height D. weight
8. What can we infer from the passage
A. Only scientists can help protect glaciers.
B. If we protect glaciers, we can also help ourselves.
C. Climate change isn’t related to glaciers.
D. Glaciers will not change in the future.
9. Which of the following is a problem caused by
glaciers disappearing
A. The food chain in water will be broken.
B. There will be more fresh water in the sea.
C. There will be fewer floods.
D. Ecosystems will be healthier.
10. What is the best title for this passage
A. The Magic of Glaciers
B. How Glaciers Are Formed
C. The Change of Glaciers
D. Glaciers and Our Future

大单元主题三 人与自然
话题十三 自然生态
Ⅰ. 1.(B 提示：having 经历 ；seeing 看到； developing 发展；picking 采摘。 由空后
的“the last of something, that’s to say, visiting places before they disappear” 可 知，绝景游应该是看一些事物的最后 一面。
2. A 提示：chance 机会；way 方式；idea 主意；reason 原因。 根据“to see certain islands, glaciers, animals, and so on before they disappear”可知，此处是指在 某些岛屿、冰川、动物等消失之前，我们 或许再也没有机会看到它们。
3. C 提示 ：normal 正常的 ；exciting 兴 奋的；sad 悲伤的；simple 简单的。 由上 文描述的情况以及空后的转折连词 but 可知，此处是指这或许听起来很令人 难过。
4. D 提示：fact 事实；sign 标志；project 项目；example 示例 。 空后的“‘the Sea of Ice’ in Chamonix”是举的一个例子。
5. A 提示：how 怎样；when 什么时候； if 如果；where 哪里。 此处是指游客们在 那里可以了解冰川以及气候变化是如 何影响像“the Sea of Ice”这样的地方的。
6. B 提示：visit 参观；effect 效果；offer 提供；experience 经历。 由下文调查结果 可知，努力似乎起到了作用 。 have an effect 意为“有影响 ，起作用 ”，为固定 短语。
7. B 提 示 ：choose 选 择； try 尝 试； remember 记得；forget 忘记。 由上文可 知，努力似乎起到了作用，故此处是指 80%的游客想尽力来进一步了解环境 以及如何保护它。
8. A 提 示 ：Although 尽 管 ；Unless 除 非；Whether 是否；Because 因为 。 根据 “it has these advantages, last-chance tourism may also be speeding up...” 可 知，此处是由 although 引导的让步状语 从句。
9. C 提 示 ：build 构 建； check 检 查； create 创建；collect 收集。 根据“a bigger and bigger carbon footprint”可推知，他们 会制造越来越大的碳足迹。
10. D 提 示 ：convenient 方 便 的； im - possible 不 可 能 的； difficult 困 难 的； important 重要的。 根据“to avoid making it more terrible”可知，此处是指避免让 气候变化变得更糟糕是更加重要的。
Ⅱ. 1. C 提示：根据“Alex and his classmates are working on a project about the Great Lakes.”可知，这个项目是关于湖的。
2. D 提示：根据“This lake has the smallest surface area at 7,336 square miles. Three dams control the flow of water downstream and include locks so boats can enter from the Atlantic.”可知，这个湖的 表面积最小，只有 7336 平方英里，三座 水坝控制着下游的水流，并设有水闸， 使船只可以从大西洋进入。 故根据地图 显示的湖泊面积大小关系和三座水坝 可知，④符合。
3. B 提示 ：根据“With a depth of 64 meters, this is the shallowest of the Great Lakes. It is generally the warmest, but also gets frozen more quickly than the others.”可知，Lake Erie 结冰最早，适合 最早尝试冰钓。
4. A 提示：根据“The Great Lakes provide drinking water for more than 40 million people, important shipping routes for more than 800 ocean ships, and keep a rich ecosystem for fishing and agriculture. They also support wildlife, the national economy and the environment.”可知，五大 湖为 4000 多万人提供饮用水，为 800多 艘远洋船只提供重要的航运路线，并为 渔业和农业保持了丰富的生态系统，它 们还为野生动物、国家经济和环境提供支 持，这应是其“价值”。
5. C 提示 ：根 据“With a depth of 64 meters, this is the shallowest of the Great Lakes.”可知，Lake Erie 是五大湖中最 浅的。
6. A 提示：根据文章第一段中“Because glaciers are super important for life on Earth, and the UN wants everyone to help protect them.”可知，联合国设立冰 川保护年和世界冰川日是为了鼓励人 们保护冰川，为未来着想。
7. D 提示 ：根据文章最后一段中“If the temperature keeps going up, glaciers will lose even more mass by 2100. This will mean less water for people to drink and use for farming.”可知，如果气温继 续上升，到 2100 年冰川将失去更多的 “mass”，这将意味着人们将有更少的水 可供饮用和用于农业。 结合语境可推 断 ，“mass”在这里指的是冰川的“重 量”，因为冰川融化会导致其重量减少， 进而影响水资源。
8. B 提示：根据文章最后一段中“So, it’s really important that we all work together to protect glaciers.”以及冰川对 人类和生态系统的重要性可以推断出， 如果我们保护冰川，也是在帮助我们自 己，因为冰川是重要的水资源，对维持
生态平衡和人类生活至关重要。
9. A 提示：根据文章第二段中“When glaciers melt, they give nutrients to lakes, rivers, and oceans. These nutrients are like the building blocks of the food chain in water.”可知，冰川融化时，它们会为 湖泊、河流和海洋提供养分，这些养分 是水生食物链的基础。 因此，如果冰川
消失，水生食物链可能会受到影响甚至 被破坏。
10. D 提示：文章主要讲述了冰川的重 要性、面临的威胁以及保护冰川的紧迫 性，强调了冰川与人类未来的紧密联系。 因此，最佳标题应该是能够概括这一主 题的选项 。 选项 D“Glaciers and Our Future”最符合文章主旨。

神舟 19 号：探索宇宙新篇章
On December 17, 2024, two Chinese astronauts, Cai Xuzhe and Song Lingdong, made history. They did a spacewalk outside the Tiangong Space Station and broke a world record. They are part of the three-person team on the Shenzhou-19.
The spacewalk started in the afternoon. Cai went out of the space station first at 12:51 p.m. Song followed him about 90 minutes later. After working very hard for 9 hours and 6 minutes, they came back to the station at 9:57 p.m. Before this, the longest spacewalk was 8 hours and 56 minutes. American astronauts James Voss and Susan Helms set that record in March 2001. Our Chinese astronauts walked 10 minutes longer!
While Cai and Song were outside, Wang Haoze stayed inside the space station. She made sure everything worked well. The three astronauts worked together. They also got help from the space station’s robot arm and the scientists on the earth. Cai and Song did many important things during the spacewalk. They checked tools and put in a machine to protect the space station from space junk. Their work was a big success!
This spacewalk is the 17th time Chinese astronauts have worked outside the Tiangong Space Station. These brave astronauts’ hard work is good for China and the whole world. They are heroes. Their work shows us that everything is
possible if we try hard. Their success tells us to dream big!

In 2027, the first space hotel named Voyager Station is set to open. It will be built by Orbital
Assembly Corporation. The 50,000-square-meter
hotel will start being built in 2026 and welcome
its first guests in 2027. The hotel can hold up to
440 people and will have gravity (重力) about
one-sixth of the Earth’s.
In 2019, the Gateway Foundation first introduced its design, then called the Von Braun Space Station. The goal is to enable more people to travel to space. The hotel will have nice villas ( 度 假 别 墅 ), single bedrooms, restaurants, bars and gyms. The first part to be built is a central ring with a place for ships to dock (停靠). Then a 200-meter-wide outer ring will be put together and connected to it.
The inside of the hotel will use materials and colors from nature, different from the cold look in movies. For example, there will be 500-square-
meter villas and 30-square-meter hotel rooms.
Also, an activity and gym module (舱) will be used for low-gravity games and concerts.
It was first planned to open in 2025, but because of the COVID-19 outbreak, the opening was put off to 2027. Many people are working on space tourism, and this hotel is a big step forward.

Minqin County, located in the city of Wuwei in Gansu Province, is between China’s third and fourth largest deserts — the Badain Jaran and the Tengger. Local people plant suosuo trees, a plant that can survive in the desert, to prevent further desertification (沙漠化).
A number of local people have worked hard to turn the place into an oasis (绿洲). 27-yearold Zhong Lin is one of them. Growing up in Minqin, Zhong experienced sandstorms throughout his childhood. He once wanted to run away from his hometown and build his future in southern China.
However, he changed his mind when he saw the villagers’ hard life and the terribleenvironment there. He said,“Suddenly I understood — running away isn’t the solution. Making a difference is the key.” After graduating from university in 2020, Zhong returned to his hometown.“If suosuo trees can take root in sandstorms, why can’t young people ” he wrote in his diary.
Since then, Zhong has tried planting suosuo trees in the desert. He planted 500 trees in 2021, but most of them died. So he studied, learnedfrom experienced villagers, and then planted more. After three years’ efforts, the trees he planted are now growing well in the desert, turning the land green and lively.
To draw attention to his hometown’s environment, Zhong shared videos about tree planting online and started a“Please Plant a Tree in Minqin” activity. Encouraged by Zhong’s treeplanting story, more and more volunteers from all over the country have come to Minqin to plant trees. Their common goal is to turn the desert into an oasis.
