三、阅读理解
In the past, the Tala Desert in Qinghai was described by the saying,“When the wind blows, stones roll and no grass grows.” Covering more than 600 square kilometers, 98.5% of this empty land has turned into desert.Almost nothing could live there. Yet, because it receives plenty of sunlight, this "lifeless place" was chosen as the site for one of China’s biggest solar power stations.
In 2012, the first sets of solar panels （太阳能板） were set up. They were only meant to collect sunlight to produce electricity, but something unexpected happened for the environment. The panels worked like large sunshades. They reduced direct sunlight, slowed down wind erosion （侵蚀）, and helped the soil keep its moisture.In just a few years, plant coverage increased from less than 2% to 80%.
However, new problems soon arose. The rapidly growing grass started to block sunlight from reaching the panels. This reduced electricity production and raised the risk of fires. Using chemical weed killers damaged the weak ecosystem, and asking people to cut the grass cost millions of yuan every year. Then, a local herder（牧民）half-jokingly suggested，“Why not let sheep eat the grass？”
In 2016, 600 Tibetan sheep officially “started working.” They ate the grass under the panels, keeping it short and improving the soil with their waste. In return, the sheep grew healthier. The herders voluntarily joined the project and even formed a small group to take turns managing the areas, making sure the grass and sheep stay in balance. This created a lasting system of “solar power above, sheep below.” The power station saved on cleaning costs, herders-made more money, and the land became healthier.
Today, the Tala Desert now supplies over 100 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually and the number of sheep has increased to over 20,000, creating millions of yuan in value every year. The tale of the“photovoltaic sheep” （光伏羊） shows that when humans cooperate with nature instead of fighting it, even the toughest desert can glow with the hope of sustainable development （可持续发展）.
1. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph
A. To introduce the problem in the desert.
B. To explain how solar energy works.
C. To show the view of the Tala Desert.
D. To provide the background for the solar project.
2. What can we learn from Paragraph 3
A. The fast-growing grass helped increase electricity production.
B. A local scientist first thought of letting sheep eat the grass.
C. Asking people to cut grass cost a great deal of money.
D. Using chemical weed killers was useful and helpful.
3. What are the achievements of the whole project
①It produces tons of clean electricity.
②It stopped the wind from blowing in the desert.
③It greatly improved the local environment.
④It helps the local herders to raise sheep.
A. ①②④ B. ①③④ C. ②③④ D. ①②③
4. What can we infer from the text
A. Local herders supported the project and took part in it actively.
B. The project will be widely used in all deserts around China.
C. The main goal of the solar power station was to improve the environment.
D. The success of the“photovoltaic sheep” project only happened by chance.
四、根据文章内容，回答问题（每个答案不超过10个单词）
Twenty years ago in Costa Rica, three girls found a baby sloth （树懒） on a road. The little animal’s mother was killed by a car. These girls took the baby sloth to Judy, the owner of a hotel. Judy wanted to help, but she didn't know how to look after the sloth, so she called the zoo. With the help of the zoo, Judy took good care of the baby sloth. She named the baby sloth Buttercup.
After her first success, more people brought Judy wounded sloths or baby sloths they found. Judy then opened a help centre. Today, the help centre has saved more than 500 sloths.
Sloths live in the forests of Central America. We can also see them in South America. They hang onto the trees with their claws （爪子）. There are two main types of sloths. You can know them by the number of their claws. Sloths hardly move. They spend most of their time sleeping in the trees.
But now, with the increase in population, human beings cause a lot of problems for these slow and quiet animals. The main problem is that the forests are becoming smaller and smaller. When trees are cut down, sloths will fall and hurt themselves. Some sloths live near human beings and they sometimes are hit by cars or killed by dogs.
1. Why did Judy call the zoo
2. Where do the sloths live
3. What are the sloths like
4. What is the main problem for sloths
5. How can we help sloths according to the last paragraph 新译林8B U4 Welcome — Reading讲义

三、阅读理解
In the past, the Tala Desert in Qinghai was described by the saying,“When the wind blows, stones roll and no grass grows.” Covering more than 600 square kilometers, 98.5% of this empty land has turned into desert.Almost nothing could live there. Yet, because it receives plenty of sunlight, this “lifeless place” was chosen as the site for one of China’s biggest solar power stations.
In 2012, the first sets of solar panels (太阳能板) were set up. They were only meant to collect sunlight to produce electricity, but something unexpected happened for the environment. The panels worked like large sunshades. They reduced direct sunlight, slowed down wind erosion (侵蚀), and helped the soil keep its moisture.In just a few years, plant coverage increased from less than 2% to 80%.
However, new problems soon arose. The rapidly growing grass started to block sunlight from reaching the panels. This reduced electricity production and raised the risk of fires. Using chemical weed killers damaged the weak ecosystem, and asking people to cut the grass cost millions of yuan every year. Then, a local herder(牧民)half-jokingly suggested,“Why not let sheep eat the grass ”
In 2016, 600 Tibetan sheep officially “started working.” They ate the grass under the panels, keeping it short and improving the soil with their waste. In return, the sheep grew healthier. The herders voluntarily joined the project and even formed a small group to take turns managing the areas, making sure the grass and sheep stay in balance. This created a lasting system of “solar power above, sheep below.” The power station saved on cleaning costs, herders-made more money, and the land became healthier.
Today, the Tala Desert now supplies over 100 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually and the number of sheep has increased to over 20,000, creating millions of yuan in value every year. The tale of the“photovoltaic sheep” (光伏羊) shows that when humans cooperate with nature instead of fighting it, even the toughest desert can glow with the hope of sustainable development (可持续发展).

A. To introduce the problem in the desert.

②It stopped the wind from blowing in the desert.
③It greatly improved the local environment.

4. What can we infer from the text
A. Local herders supported the project and took part in it actively.
B. The project will be widely used in all deserts around China.
C. The main goal of the solar power station was to improve the environment.
D. The success of the“photovoltaic sheep” project only happened by chance.

四、根据文章内容，回答问题(每个答案不超过10个单词)
Twenty years ago in Costa Rica, three girls found a baby sloth (树懒) on a road. The little animal’s mother was killed by a car. These girls took the baby sloth to Judy, the owner of a hotel. Judy wanted to help, but she didn't know how to look after the sloth, so she called the zoo. With the help of the zoo, Judy took good care of the baby sloth. She named the baby sloth Buttercup.
After her first success, more people brought Judy wounded sloths or baby sloths they found. Judy then opened a help centre. Today, the help centre has saved more than 500 sloths.
Sloths live in the forests of Central America. We can also see them in South America. They hang onto the trees with their claws (爪子). There are two main types of sloths. You can know them by the number of their claws. Sloths hardly move. They spend most of their time sleeping in the trees.
But now, with the increase in population, human beings cause a lot of problems for these slow and quiet animals. The main problem is that the forests are becoming smaller and smaller. When trees are cut down, sloths will fall and hurt themselves. Some sloths live near human beings and they sometimes are hit by cars or killed by dogs.
1. Why did Judy call the zoo
2. Where do the sloths live
3. What are the sloths like
4. What is the main problem for sloths
5. How can we help sloths according to the last paragraph
【答案】

In Central and South America’s forests.
Slow and quiet.
Forests are getting smaller.
Stop cutting down trees.
