Why Would Anyone Cut a Tree Down?
阳泉一中高一年级分班考试试题
This U.S. Forest Service publication teaches kids that “people need to cut some trees down, but
that is not the end of the story.” It explores various uses for wood from cut trees—such as materials
for construction, nutrients for fresh soil, and stumps for new shoots. The book also includes a note to
adults about the basics of tree care. Cutting down a tree is a form of caring for that tree. It makes
room for more life in the exchange of another.

Discover MyPlate: A MyPlate Meal
Alya Mono entered my life many years ago while living in Delhi. Our fathers were close
friends, and by some quiet magic, we became friends too. We spent much time together, exchanging
thoughts on culture, politics, education, and everything in between. Before she left for Kyrgyzstan,
we — Gen Z kids — didn’t know when we’d meet next.
Learn about the five food groups, healthy eating, and reading! This colorful book introduces
kindergarten-aged children to foods from all five food groups of MyPlate, while building literacy
skills (读写能力) through the use of sight words, interactive games and activities, and more!
The Little Acorn
Two years passed without contact. Then, by pure chance and surprise, I visited her in the
summer of 2025. Bishkek greeted me with fresh air and familiar warmth, but the day I spent with
Alya transformed the place from just another destination to something more. Our families had first
reunited in the mountains, where Alya and I shared an exciting horse-riding experience — one that
The Little Acorn is written from the eye of a squirrel who buries an acorn near a stream. As it
occasionally checks back on the oak nut, the squirrel sees for itself the tree’s growth during the
course of seasonal changes. Spring rains, summer heat, and autumn winds condition the baby oak.
What starts as a tiny seed in a tough shell finally grows into a “big, beautiful oak tree… dropping

brought us even closer. Later, she invited me to spend the day with her and two of her friends over
lunch and a visit to the national museum.
the first two slogans but maybe not the last one. We’re often interested in supporting the protection
of animals like gorillas and tigers but less concerned for creatures like rats. Are our stereotypes (刻
板印象) affecting which animals we choose to protect?
One of the girls was from Belarus, the other from Kyrgyzstan. We talked about everything —
from the weather and food to shared fears and the common feeling of post-soviet identity. We ended
up bonding over cheesecakes, exchanging stories about our cultures, and surprising at how easily we
connected. It felt like the world had turned into one café table: four women, four lives, one day of
open-hearted exchange. The landscape outside mirrored what I felt inside: unfamiliar, but
grounding.
Researchers have studied how people view animals based on two qualities: “warmth” (how
friendly we think they are) and “competence” (how capable they seem). Animals we see as
companions, such as dogs and monkeys, score high in both warmth and competence. This makes us
eager to protect them. Predators (捕食者) like tigers and bears are seen as competent but not very
warm. While some people admire these animals, others may fear or hunt them. Animals viewed as
prey (猎物), like cows and rabbits, often receive less attention, but people are prepared to actively
harm those considered pests, such as rats and mice.
That day reminded me how rare it is to pick up right where you left off. No awkwardness, no
catching up required, just presence. Alya and I didn’t just reunite; we rediscovered a bond made of
shared silences, life curiosity, and that rare ease you don’t find twice.
However, this might not be the full story. National Geographic Magazine asked their readers
which animals were the most important to save. Four of the top five fit the companion or predator
types-elephants, tigers, whales and polar bears. But the most popular animal to save was the bee. It
seems that apart from concerns around warmth and competence, people are aware how species can
affect the wider ecosystem and value bees as pollinators (传粉者).

. Why is Bishkek more than a destination to the author?
A. It deepens the ties between girls.
C. It has fresh air and familiar warmth.
B. It provides horse-riding experiences.
D. It offers a visit to the national museum.
5
. What does the writer think of the reunion with Alya?
A. Formal and relaxing.
C. Silent and surprising.
B. Unavoidable and serious.
D. Unexpected and precious.
At present, 27,000 species are becoming extinct every year. How do zoos and protection
projects decide which animals to support? One factor is the importance of an animal to the wider
ecosystem, but this can lead to some difficult choices. It’s reported that in Australia, koalas are much
less important to the ecosystem than some lesser-known animals such as woylies. However, they
also suggest a solution to this issue. To conserve cute animals, such as koalas, it’s important to
protect their entire habitat-and this can save a wide variety of species. It could be that many animals
can be sheltered by koalas’ cuteness.
6
. What made the author feel “it is rare to pick up right where you left off”?
A. Shared curiosity.
C. Natural interaction.
B. Detailed arrangements.
D. Common backgrounds.

C. How human activities influence wildlife populations.
D. What characteristics affect public interest in species.
Moreover, traditional food contains the wisdom of ancestors in adapting to the local
environment. For example, the spicy cuisine in Sichuan, China, helps people get rid of dampness,
which is a dietary solution formed by people over a long period of time.
In addition, traditional food plays a primary role in inheriting (传承) cultural heritage. Every
traditional dish has its own production techniques and cultural meanings. Making dumplings during
the Spring Festival in China and making mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival both carry
unique cultural meanings. These dietary customs strengthen people’s sense of identity and belonging
to their own culture. When people pass on the production methods of traditional food to the next
generation, they are also passing on cultural traditions and values.
9
. What do we know from paragraph 2?
A. Companions are more capable than others.
C. Animals seen as friendly are more protected.
B. Predators are always feared and hunted.
D. Pests are generally well-liked by people.

0. Why are bees an important species to save?
A. They are popular pets among humans.
B. They rank high in warmth and competence.
C. They are the largest pollinators in ecosystems.
D. They support species variety through pollination.
To protect traditional food, governments can support local inheritors, schools can carry out
food culture courses, and media can promote traditional cuisines. In the process of seeking a modern
life, we should not desert traditional food. Instead, we should mix it into daily life, so that it can
continue to pass on and shine with new energy.
11. What’s the purpose of mentioning koalas in the last paragraph?
A. To highlight the popularity of certain cute animals.
B. To offer suggestions on effective koalas protection.
C. To stress the difficulty of making conservation decisions.
12. What is the author’s main argument about traditional food?
D. To inform readers of the importance of habitat protection.
A It has been forgotten due to globalization.
D
B. It holds necessary value beyond nutrition.
In the era of globalization, Western fast food and processed food have swept the world, and
many traditional cuisines are facing the risk of being forgotten. Some people believe that traditional
food is outdated and cannot adapt to the fast-paced modern life, but in fact, traditional food is not
only a kind of nutrition but also a carrier of memories and culture, which is irreplaceable for people
and society.
C. It has been well received across the world.
D. It needs to be updated for modern lifestyles.
13. What’s the deeper significance of passing on food-making skills?
A. It delivers cultural customs and ideals.
B. It improves family’s cooking efficiency.
Traditional food is closely linked to people’s emotional memories. For settlers living abroad, a
bowl of hometown noodles or a plate of traditional cakes can relieve homesickness and make them
feel connected to their roots. For the elderly, the taste of traditional food reminds them of their youth
and family gatherings. These emotional connections cannot be replaced by fast food.
C. It is a way to teach healthy eating habits.
D. It helps people adapt to local environments.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of traditional food?
A. Critical.
B. Doubtful.
C. Favorable.

down outside. It had been raining continuously for three days, and the storm showed no sign of
letting up. The wind howled fiercely, causing the trees to sway violently, while the rain hammered
against the windows and roof. Mary had never seen a storm this bad. It was making her nervous.
As they listened to the weather report on the radio, Mary’s heart raced with fear. The report
confirmed their worst fears — the city was already flooded. Mary felt a surge of panic and said
suddenly, “Mum, Dad, I think we should leave here right away.” “No, it’s too late.” said Dad,
shaking his head.

“
We can drive our car through the floodwater. Let’s leave. I’m really scared,” cried Mary. “We
can’t do that, honey,” explained Mum. “The water could wash the car away.”
Mary walked to the door. She could hear the rain pounding against it and she couldn't resist the
urge to see for herself how bad the flooding was. “Don’t open the door,” shouted Mum and Dad at
the same time, “The water could flood in.”
Dad moved the dinner table against the door, in case the floodwater forced the door open. Mum
gestured for Mary to sit on the sofa. “Mary, don’t worry. Everything’s going to be OK,” she said
softly, trying her best to comfort her daughter. Despite her comforting tone, Mary could sense the
worry in her mother’s voice.
Without saying a single word, Dad walked to the sofa and sat down. He wrapped his arms
tightly around his wife and daughter, trying to provide comfort and security in the midst of the
storm. The sudden silence in the house seemed to make the wind and rain outside even more
frightening. As the storm raged on, a sense of anxiety lingered in the air.

huddled together, hoping the storm would pass soon. At this moment, the sound of sirens cut

Good morning! It’s a great honour to deliver a speech about protecting wild animals. At
present, the situation of wild animals is extremely worrying. Their habitats are being continuously
destroyed due to human activities like deforestation and urban expansion. Besides, illegal hunting
for profit remains a serious threat, pushing many species to the verge of extinction.
To change this, we can take practical steps. First, we should advocate for the use of sustainable
products to reduce the damage to their habitats. Second, spreading awareness of wildlife protection
among our friends and family can make a difference. Let’s work together to safeguard these
precious creatures.
Thank you!

All of a sudden, the floodwater forced the door open. The three of them stood frozen in horror
as water gushed into the living room, quickly rising and soaking their feet. Mary screamed and
grabbed onto her parents tightly. Mum acted quickly, grabbing a life jacket and putting it on Mary.
Dad attempted to push the table against the door to stop the water from rushing in, but it was no use.
Realizing the urgency of the situation, Dad made a quick decision. He carried Mary while holding
Mum's hand, making their way up to the second floor. With each step, they could feel the water
