三、短文填空
(浙江杭州期中)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。
You probably know some basic facts about deserts.For example, most people know that deserts are dry places where more water evaporates(蒸发) each year than falls even with heavy rain.However, there are many facts about deserts that you may not know.Reading the following may help you find out more about these unusual areas.
1． Most deserts have less than 10 inches of rain each year.However, in some deserts of South American, it is true that rain almost never falls.In one desert in Chile, no rain has fallen for 45 years in a row! All the rain falls within a single month!
2． Temperatures in deserts can reach above 37.8 ℃ during the day, but can fall below zero at night.Areas that are too cold for anything to grow are called “frigid deserts”. Other deserts are cold for long periods.The Gobi in Asia has icy temperatures for as long as six months at a time.
3． Although deserts can be low and flat, some are bare rocky hills and even mountains.Some also have lakes and plains covered with small rocks.Sand makes up only about 2 percent of North American deserts, 10 percent of the Sahara in northern Africa, and 30 percent of the Arabian Desert.
4． To survive in a dry decent environment, plants and animals, including humans, must make some adaptation.Desert plants cannot grow too close together because each plant would not get enough water.Other animals stay in holes underground or rest in the shade during the heat of the day.
5． Deserts cover about one fifth of earth's land area.The largest desert in the world is the Sahara.The Sahara stretches from the Atlantic Ocean eastward to the Red Sea, spreading across parts of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Sudan, Chad, Niger, Mali, and Mauritania.It covers an area about the size of the United States.
A．There is still life in the desert.
B．There are many deserts in the world.
C．Some of deserts are very cold.
D.Dry river beds are a common sight in many deserts.
E．Not all deserts are flat and sandy.
F．Little rain falls in the desert.
四、任务型读写
(海南一模)阅读下面短文，根据短文内容按要求完成任务。
Wang Chengbang is a true hero of our times.After retiring(退役) from the army in 1988, this brave man chose to fight against deserts instead of enjoying a relaxing life.He went to Xinjiang, northwest China to plant trees, but it is not an easy job.
The desert sun burns like fire in summer, with temperatures often reaching over 40℃.The high temperature makes it difficult for anyone to work day after day in the sunshine.Wang still remembers the days when his clothes completely got wet.Besides, water shortage is a big challenge.Xinjiang only gets very little rain each year, and this makes it hard for the small trees to grow up.In fact, more than half of the trees they planted died at first because there wasn't enough water.
But Wang never gave up.“After trying many different ways, I have learned how to grow young trees in a better way in hot weather，” said Wang Chengbang.He also worked out new ways to save water.With his hard work, more and more trees have been planted.So far, he has planted more than 1.5 million trees.These green soldiers help to hold the sand, clean the air and protect people from the hot sun.
In 2005, Wang suffered from a serious illness.However, he continued taking care of his trees rather than lying on the hospital bed.“Working is the best medicine.Planting trees helps me fight cancer，” he often jokes.Surprisingly, his health improved.
Today, at the age of 90, Wang still works in the desert every day.He shows that even a small action can make a big difference.“As long as I can move, I'll keep planting trees，” he says.For Wang Chengbang, protecting the environment is a lifelong job.

Hippos(河马) look a little bit silly, don't you think They have huge bodies, but small eyes and ears.This always makes hippos look funny and cute.
1． Hippos keep silicon(硅), which is good for plants and animals, on the move throughout East Africa, Science News reported.
Each day, a hippo eats about 36 kg of plants.Most of these plants are rich in silicon.2. Their poop brings 0.4 tons of silicon into the Mara River, where hippos often poop, according to scientists from the University of Antwerp in Belgium. That's about 76 percent of all the silica(硅石) flowing downstream in the river.
Silicon is mostly found in sand.3. It feeds the growth of a plant called the diatom(硅藻), which lives in oceans, fresh water and other wet environments.4. Diatoms make at least 20 percent of the oxygen on earth, according to Live Science.
Diatoms also form the base of the food chain.They are eaten by small animals like crabs and snails, which in turn feed bigger animals like otters(水獭), turtles and even humans.5.
But hippos are facing serious problems made by hunting and habitat(栖息地) loss.Their population dropped by up to 20 percent from 1996 to 2004, Science News reported.If these animals disappear from the Mara River, the diatom population could go down a lot.
A．As it turns out, they play an important role in Africa's ecosystem as well.
B．Without diatoms, many ecosystems would face food shortages.
C．Its role in nature is important.
D．Silicon can be found everywhere in Africa.
E．Together, these plants take in carbon dioxide from the air and change it into oxygen.
F．The silicon cycles through their body and finally comes out in their poop(粪便).Unit 6 Living with nature

(浙江杭州期中)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。
You probably know some basic facts about deserts.For example, most people know that deserts are dry places where more water evaporates(蒸发) each year than falls even with heavy rain.However, there are many facts about deserts that you may not know.Reading the following may help you find out more about these unusual areas.
1．F Most deserts have less than 10 inches of rain each year.However, in some deserts of South American, it is true that rain almost never falls.In one desert in Chile, no rain has fallen for 45 years in a row! All the rain falls within a single month!
2．C Temperatures in deserts can reach above 37.8 ℃ during the day, but can fall below zero at night.Areas that are too cold for anything to grow are called “frigid deserts”. Other deserts are cold for long periods.The Gobi in Asia has icy temperatures for as long as six months at a time.
3．E Although deserts can be low and flat, some are bare rocky hills and even mountains.Some also have lakes and plains covered with small rocks.Sand makes up only about 2 percent of North American deserts, 10 percent of the Sahara in northern Africa, and 30 percent of the Arabian Desert.
4．A To survive in a dry decent environment, plants and animals, including humans, must make some adaptation.Desert plants cannot grow too close together because each plant would not get enough water.Other animals stay in holes underground or rest in the shade during the heat of the day.
5．B Deserts cover about one fifth of earth's land area.The largest desert in the world is the Sahara.The Sahara stretches from the Atlantic Ocean eastward to the Red Sea, spreading across parts of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Sudan, Chad, Niger, Mali, and Mauritania.It covers an area about the size of the United States.
A．There is still life in the desert.
B．There are many deserts in the world.
C．Some of deserts are very cold.
D.Dry river beds are a common sight in many deserts.
E．Not all deserts are flat and sandy.
F．Little rain falls in the desert.
四、任务型读写
(海南一模)阅读下面短文，根据短文内容按要求完成任务。
Wang Chengbang is a true hero of our times.After retiring(退役) from the army in 1988, this brave man chose to fight against deserts instead of enjoying a relaxing life.He went to Xinjiang, northwest China to plant trees, but it is not an easy job.
The desert sun burns like fire in summer, with temperatures often reaching over 40℃.The high temperature makes it difficult for anyone to work day after day in the sunshine.Wang still remembers the days when his clothes completely got wet.Besides, water shortage is a big challenge.Xinjiang only gets very little rain each year, and this makes it hard for the small trees to grow up.In fact, more than half of the trees they planted died at first because there wasn't enough water.
But Wang never gave up.“After trying many different ways, I have learned how to grow young trees in a better way in hot weather，” said Wang Chengbang.He also worked out new ways to save water.With his hard work, more and more trees have been planted.So far, he has planted more than 1.5 million trees.These green soldiers help to hold the sand, clean the air and protect people from the hot sun.
In 2005, Wang suffered from a serious illness.However, he continued taking care of his trees rather than lying on the hospital bed.“Working is the best medicine.Planting trees helps me fight cancer，” he often jokes.Surprisingly, his health improved.
Today, at the age of 90, Wang still works in the desert every day.He shows that even a small action can make a big difference.“As long as I can move, I'll keep planting trees，” he says.For Wang Chengbang, protecting the environment is a lifelong job.

Small Actions, Big Changes
The_earth_is_the_only_home_for_everyone_on_it.It's_crying_for_our_help_now. Nowadays, we can see rubbish everywhere, and the air is badly polluted.These environmental problems are threatening our lives.
As middle school students, we can do many things to protect the environment.First of all, we should save water by turning off the tap in time.What's more, we can sort the waste properly to recycle more things.Last but not least, we'd better choose public transportation, like buses and subways, instead of cars.
Let's take these small actions right now.With everyone's efforts, we can make a big change and create a better world.
假如你是李雷，你们班级正在就“保护地球，从我做起”这一话题开展征文活动。请你用英语写一篇短文投稿。请根据表格内容，谈谈你周边的环境问题，在保护环境方面你通常是怎么做的，以及这样做的感受。
环境 问题 人们乱扔垃圾、工厂排放污水、汽车尾气……
采取 措施 节约水电、绿色购物、回收利用、绿色出行……
感想 自己对环境保护的认识……
参考词汇：reduce减少；gas尾气
Many people pay little attention to protecting our environment, so pollution is more and more serious.Some people throw the rubbish everywhere.Some factories pour dirty water into rivers.And the gas from cars causes air pollution.
As a student, I always remember these three words：reduce, reuse, recycle.For example, I turn off the lights when I leave the room and I turn off the tap when I brush my teeth.I don't use paper cups and plastic bags in my daily life.We often collect plastic bottles in our classroom.What's more, I always take a bus to school instead of asking my parents to drive me.
I feel happy to do these things, because I believe if everyone of us does a little, we will make a difference to our environment.

1．A Hippos keep silicon(硅), which is good for plants and animals, on the move throughout East Africa, Science News reported.
Each day, a hippo eats about 36 kg of plants.Most of these plants are rich in silicon.2.F Their poop brings 0.4 tons of silicon into the Mara River, where hippos often poop, according to scientists from the University of Antwerp in Belgium.
