阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Where can you find a nice place to relax on holiday for both you and your children Well, I suggest you try the beautiful and green Isle of Wight (IOW). The IOW is one of the main tourist attractions. Here is some information on a few of the attractions on the IOW.
Dinosaur Isle
It is located in Sandown, a seaside town on the southern coast of the IOW. It's a large, lovely museum, both fun and educational. Here you can see a large fossil collection of all kinds of dinosaurs, as well as a gift shop. You can walk into the past and then the future, learning about the history and the development of the civilisation of dinosaurs that lived 120 million years ago.
Robin Hill Country Park
The park is in the beautiful countryside, and is suitable for children's parties and games. It has several new gardens, and offers great opportunities to see and take pictures of the rare red squirrels.
The West of the Wight
Here we have the marine aquarium, the archaeology exhibition and the Model Railway. They offer another opportunity to combine fun with learning. This is a great place to see ancient boats crossing the narrow strait between the island and the mainland.
The Isle of Wight Bus & Coach Museum
This museum is run completely by unpaid volunteers. It has a bus collection stored in what was once a warehouse(仓库). Now the museum has a display of around 20 historic vehicles, transport artefacts(手工工艺品), displays, photographs, a tea bar and a shop.
With all of these choices, what are you waiting for IOW Tourism welcomes you!
21. What can we learn from the passage
A. Those running the Isle of Wight Bus & Coach Museum work for free.
B. People can learn about all kinds of animals on Dinosaur Isle.
C. There are some new gardens on Dinosaur Isle.
D. The Isle of Wight Bus & Coach Museum can be visited free of charge.
22. What do Dinosaur Isle and the West of the Wight have in common
A. They both have fossils of ancient animals. B. They both offer boats for tourists to take.
C. They are both fun and educational. D. They are both large and lovely.
23. From which is the passage probably taken
A. A travel magazine. B. A science journal. C. A book review. D. A film advertisement.

From the loss of wildlife to rising sea levels, we're all well aware of the problems that climate change could cause. But while it may seem like such issues won't affect most of us directly, it looks like future generations could grow up without something that many of us now take for granted: chocolate.
According to an essay published by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, changes of the climate in the areas that produce cacao — the seed from which chocolate is produced — may mean that it will soon become extinct.
Most of the world's cacao grows in countries close to the equator(赤道), with over half of it growing in the African nations of Ghana and C te d'Ivoire. It's predicted that by 2050 climate change will have sped up the rate at which temperatures in these countries rise, making it extremely difficult for cacao to grow there. The problem doesn't lie in increasing heat, but in lower humidity(湿度), as it's believed that rainfall will stay at the same level if the temperature rises.
“In other words, as higher temperatures squeeze more water out of soil and plants, it's unlikely that rainfall will increase enough to offset the moisture loss,” wrote Michon Scott, the essay's author.
To help fight this problem, researchers from the University of California, Berkeley in the US are working on changing the DNA of cacao plants to allow them to survive in dryer conditions by using gene(基因) editing technology. In the meantime, one of the world's biggest companies of chocolate products announced that it would spend 1 billion dollars helping reduce the effects of climate change.
“This is a world issue, and it requires everyone to work together,” the company's spokesperson said.
The message here is that if we all do our part, we may be able to prevent some of the worst influences of climate change. Or if we're unlucky, chocolate will become a thing of the past.
24. What will make it hard for cacao to survive around the equator in the future
A. The increasing rainfall. B. The higher humidity. C. The moisture loss in the soil.
D. The decrease of rainfall.
25. What does the underlined word “offset” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Make up. B. Add up. C. Dry up. D. Use up.
26. What will the company mentioned in the passage do to help cacao survive
A. It will work hard to plant cacao in greenhouses.
B. It will use the gene editing technology to plant cacao.
C. It will develop cacao that can survive in dryer conditions.
D. It will give financial support to help fight climate change.
27. What can be the best title for the passage
A. Cacao plants can survive in dryer conditions now
B. Gene editing technology may increase chocolate production
C. Chocolate may become history due to climate change
D. Climate change may cause lower humidity in Africa
C
For many of us, our workplace can be dark, depressing and dull. Windowless rooms and airless open-plan floors can kill motivation and cause a loss to the workers' performance, possibly even their health.
But a refreshing trend is taking root in workplace design: nature. There's growing evidence showing that workplaces which include natural elements, such as plants, light, colours and shapes, have noticeable and measurable benefits for both companies and their employees.
The positive effects touch on everything from the workers' happiness and creativity to increased productivity, improved profits, and the improved ability to attract the best workers. It's all based on the principle of biophilia(热爱自然的天性)— the born relationship between humans and the natural world. And it's easier to achieve at the office than you think.
“People just don't like using lights in a building with no plants, no views, no natural light,” says Sir Cary Cooper CBE, a former distinguished professor at Lancaster University in the UK. He led a 2015 study on the impact of biophilia in the workplace that surveyed 7,600 workers in 16 countries and found that even small nature-inspired changes can have a great effect.
Responding to a report, those who worked in environments with natural elements reported a 15 per cent higher level of well-being, a 6 per cent higher level of productivity and a 15 per cent higher level of creativity. One third of them said the design of an office would affect their decisions to work for a company. Even so, 58 per cent said there were no live plants at their workplaces and 47 per cent reported having no natural light.
An earlier, 2014 study by Cardiff University in Wales also showed that plants in the office make people happier and more productive. But more research is needed into biophilia, experts say.
28. What's the purpose of Paragraph 1
A. To compare different ideas. B. To express the author's worry.
C. To introduce the topic of the passage. D. To describe the conditions of the workplace.
29. Which word can best describe workplaces with natural elements
A. Difficult. B. Beneficial. C. Emotional. D. Astonishing.
30. What does the report mentioned in Paragraph 5 show
A. People working at places with natural elements are happier and more creative.
B. Only a few workers reported having no natural light at their workplaces.
C. Most workers are not satisfied with their workplaces.
D. Only great nature-inspired changes can affect workers.
31. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. The more plants in the office, the happier people will feel.
B. A natural workplace leads to a successful company.
C. More research is needed before adding natural elements to offices.
D. Experts will do further research on biophilia.
D
Like toolmaking, teaching was once thought to be an exclusive capacity of the human mind. It is not actually.
“Teaching” requires this: one individual must take time from their own task to demonstrate something and instruct the student with effort and the student must learn a new skill. That's a tall order.
When a young chimpanzee watches a skilled adult and then imitates him or her, that's learning. But the adult has not taken time specifically to instruct the chimpanzee, so it is not teaching. In the honeybees' amazing dance, the dancer takes time to indicate information about a source of food, but the observers learn no new skill. They do take time to show something, but they do not pass on new skills to learners.
Dolphins teach. Atlantic spotted dolphin mothers sometimes free a caught fish in the presence of their youngsters and let their youngsters chase it, catching it again if it's getting away. Dolphin youngsters also position themselves alongside mothers who are scanning sandy bottoms for hidden fish, and the mother spends extra time demonstrating something.
Other teachers include: house cats who bring back live prey and let their young learn to catch it, and meerkats who first bring dead scorpions(蝎子) to their growing young, then disabled ones, to demonstrate how to remove the poisonous part on their tails.
Like toolmaking and teaching, imitation is also considered to reflect high intelligence. In South Africa lived a baby dolphin named Dolly. One day while she was just six months old, Dolly was watching a trainer standing at the window smoking a cigarette, blowing puffs of smoke. Dolly swam to her mother, got a mouthful of milk, then returned to the window and released a cloud of milk that surrounded her head. The trainer was “absolutely astonished”. Somehow Dolly came up with the idea of using milk to represent smoke. Using one thing to represent something else isn't just imitation. It is art.
32. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us
A. The change of teaching. B. The teacher's duties.
C. The requirement of teaching. D. Some teaching methods.
33. What do we know about honeybees' dance
A. It is presenting something. B. It is learning something.
C. It is imitating something. D. It is teaching something.
34. What can we infer about animals that can teach
A. Bees show their dance to younger generations.
B. House cats teach in a way similar to dolphins.
C. Young dolphins must learn how to free a fish.
D. Meerkats have poisonous parts on the tails.
35. Why does the author use Dolly's example
A. To prove smoking can affect other animals.
B. To explain dolphins are capable of making art.
C. To show animals can be surprisingly intelligent.
D. To stress imitation is important to dolphins.

Be a green child
What does it mean to be green “Green” is more than just a colour. It also means taking special steps to protect the environment. Why green Plants are green, and without them Earth wouldn't be such a lovely home for us human beings. What can we do 36
Reduce it!
37 For instance, a shorter shower means you use less water and less fuel since your house uses fuel to run the heater that warms up the water.
Reuse it!
Sometimes people call our society a “throwaway society”. It means that we're a little too willing to throw away old stuff and buy new stuff. 38 For instance, if your baby brother becomes older and loses interest in his plastic basketball hoop, why not give it to another family who has a little kid
Recycle it!
Recycling has never been easier. Many communities will pick up recycled goods right in front of your house and some towns even require that people recycle things. Recycled goods go to a recycling centre, where they can be turned into new cans, bottles, and paper.
Enjoy it!
It's true that rubbish and pollution are problems, but Earth remains a huge and beautiful place that's ready for you to explore. 39 Go for a hike, visit local nature centres and gardens and climb up mountains.
But before you travel the world, take a look at your own backyard. Is there a spot where you could plant a tree or put in a little fruit or vegetable garden If there is, have a look at it. 40
A. Here's a four-step guide to be green.
B. It is important to respect nature and protect Earth.
C. Turn off the water when you're brushing your teeth.
D. When you use less of something, you do a good thing for Earth.
E. You can start locally by visiting the naturally beautiful spots in your city.
F. You can watch with pride as your tree takes root and your garden plants grow.
G. But many times, even if you no longer need something, someone else just might.

If this is 50 , maybe people should spend more time with their 51 . Then people might feel better and 52 longer.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Last summer, my father and I decided to go hiking in a deep forest. My father, an experienced hiker, always told me to “leave no trace” and respect nature. However, I was more interested in taking perfect photos for my social media. To me, the forest was just a beautiful background and the animals in it were nothing more than subjects for my camera.
On the second day, we found a small, hidden valley. In the centre was a clear pond, surrounded by rare flowers. “Look at this!” I cried, immediately leaving the path to take a close-up photo. My father warned me to stay on the path, but I was too focussed on the photo to hear him. As I moved around the pond, I saw a young deer trapped in some old wire fencing(筑篱笆的材料)near the bushes. It was struggling hard, its leg bleeding and its eyes full of fear.
My first thought was to reach for my camera, not to help. “This will be a great photo,” I whispered to myself. But as I looked through the camera, the deer's fast breathing and the sight of its wound suddenly hit me. This wasn't a “photo”; it was a life in pain. My father came up and saw the situation. He didn't say a word, but his disappointed look made me feel very bad. He immediately knelt down and started working on the wire carefully, but the deer was too frightened and kept kicking, making it dangerous for both of them.
I stood there, camera in my hand, feeling very ashamed.

第一节
One possible version:
Dear John,
I'm writing to apologise for not being able to go to the botanical garden with you this weekend.
I have been expecting to go with you because I think it is a good chance to get close to nature and relax ourselves as well. It is also a good opportunity for us to know more about each other and strengthen our friendship. However, my ankle got seriously injured because of an accident. The doctor told me to have a good rest in the following two weeks. That is why I have to cancel my plan.
I'm sorry for not being able to go with you. Wish you all a good time.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
I dropped my camera onto the soft grass and moved towards them. I knelt down beside my father, trying to calm the trembling deer. Filled with guilt and regret for my earlier selfishness, I did my best to calm the frightened animal. My father worked silently beside me, his focus entirely on freeing the deer, as I realised it had been very thoughtless of me to prioritise a photo over a living creature's pain. With our joint efforts, we finally freed the deer, and it quickly stood up, shook off its fear, and ran into the deep forest.
Paragraph 2:
As we watched the deer disappear into the woods, my father turned around to look at me. He patted my shoulder softly and said, “True love for nature is not about taking perfect photos, but about protecting every living creature quietly.” The disappointment that had been in his eyes was gone, replaced by a warm and kind look that made me feel at ease. His gentle words sank deep into my heart, and I finally understood what he had been trying to teach me all along. I looked down at my camera lying on the grass, knowing I no longer needed it to record beautiful moments — some memories are far more precious when stored in the heart, not just in a photo.
