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
I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.
I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl (猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2 to 3 week old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.
I examined the chick (雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.
The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.
Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.
A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all—LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.

Fabien Cousteau was born with deep love for the ocean. His grandfather and his father were ocean explorers and documentary filmmakers. Fabien spent his early years on his grandfather's ships. Today, Fabien follows in his family's footsteps to protect the planet's endangered ocean life. With his vast knowledge and experience, he tries to strike a balance between environmental problems and market economies.
Fabien is well known for his study of sharks. During 2000—2002, he created a TV special called Attack of the Mystery Shark based on the shark attacks that occurred along the New Jersey shoreline in the summer of 1916.Then in 2003—2006, with the help of a large crew, Fabien created a shark submarine (潜艇) that enabled him to put himself inside the shark world, providing people with a rare view of the mysterious and often misunderstood creatures.
For the next four years (2006—2010), Fabien was part of a series called Ocean Adventures, which offered a rare look into some of the most fantastic ocean species (物种) and environments.
In 2010, Fabien started Plant A Fish, a nonprofit project for children to help restore local water ecosystems by replanting key ocean species. Save the world, one fish at a time. The project is still in progress now and its final goal is to plant 1 billion “fish” worldwide.
From June 1 to July 2, 2014, Fabien and his team spent 31 days underwater to research how climate change and pollution are affecting the oceans. Fabien's Mission 31 broke new ground by going deeper, longer and further, exposing (显露) the world to the adventure and the mystique (神秘) of what lies beneath.
Fabien is currently working on a documentary film about the adventures of Mission 31, as well as building an Ocean Learning Center to provide children around the world with the opportunity to learn about oceans and engage with ocean explorers directly through social media.

On Saturday 24 August 1918, it was raining cats and dogs and thundering over a city called Sunderland on the northeast coast of England. The storm lasted for only about ten minutes. People were surprised to see that it was not just rainwater falling from the sky. There were fish falling down, too! People came out to find out what was happening. They could not believe their own eyes. There were thousands of fish - sand eels- lying on the ground. They were about seven centimeters long, and all were frozen solid.
Sand eels swim together in large groups, often in sandy water, and are often found in large numbers in the North Sea, which reaches out to the east of Sunderland. How was it possible for these sand eels to fall from the sky and land on Sunderland
Scientists believed the heavy thunderstorm that afternoon may have caused a waterspout. Waterspouts can be formed when strong winds move quickly in a circle over water. They are so powerful; anything less than one meter in length can be taken into them and forced into the clouds. The clouds carry whatever has been taken into them for long distances - sometimes over 150 kilometers. It's very cold up there and everything soon freezes solid.
For hundreds of years there have been reports of small animals being taken into the sky through waterspouts. In 2009, dead tadpoles rained down on the city of Nanao in Japan. In 2012, fifty kilos of prawns fell from the sky over Sri Lanka. In 2017, fish fell on the coastal city of Tampico in Mexico.
It must be a very strange experience to see fish raining down on you. It would probably hurt if one fell on your head! With climate change, global wanning and many reports of terrible natural disasters, will the time ever come when it may really begin to rain cats and dogs
8. What was the rain like on 24 August, 1918
A. It was very heavy. B. It fell around England.
C. It lasted quite a long time. D. It caused many human deaths.
9. What do we know about the sand eels that landed on Sunderland
A. They were few in number. B. They came in different sizes.
C. They were still alive when landing. D. They probably came from the North Sea.
10. What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Clouds. B. Waterspouts. C. Strong winds. D. The waters of the sea.
11. In the end, what does the author probably care most about
A. Our health. B. Our environment. C. The wild animals. D. The news reports.
D
The UK government has promised to cut the country's greenhouse gas emissions (排放) by at least 68% by 2030 compared with 1990 levels, marking a significant increase from its current goal.
The new goal comes nine days ahead of the UK hosting a“climate action summit (峰会)”to encourage other countries to declare tougher climate plans, known as Nationally Deter-mined Contributions (NDCs), under the Paris Agreement. Current NDCs will raise temperatures by 3℃. And stronger plans are needed to meet the Paris deal's goal of limiting global warming to 1. 5℃.
"This is the most significant NDCs announcement so far from any major economy," said Richard Black at the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit, a UK-based think tank, in a statement.
The new goal is exactly in line with what the government's official climate adviser, the Climate Change Committee, called for in a letter published earlier today. The group said 68% would be "“world-leading" compared with existing plans of governments.
The UK had previously promised a 53% cut in emissions as part of a joint (共同的) effort with the rest of the European Union, but the UK is determined to produce a new NDCs. Separately, the UK had also promised a 57% cut by 2032 domestically.
It is clear that far more action will be needed if the UK is to meet the new goal. The government's own analysis last week showed that recent major methods, such as banning newoil-fueled car sales by 2030，had failed to do enough to put the UK on track even for the old goal of 57% by 2032. The new goal obviously widens that gap further.
12. Why did the UK declare its new goal before “climate action summit”
A. To show its former plans are based on facts.
B. To blame other countries for their low goals.
C. To call on other countries to take bigger steps.
D. To take the lead in controlling greenhouse gas emissions.
13. What is the UK’s new goal for reducing emissions
A. 15%. B. 68%. C. 57%. D. 53%.
14. What's the author s attitude to the UK's new goal
A. Disapproval. B. Doubtful.
C. Unconcerned. D. Subjective.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. A new goal will be put forward on“climate action summit"
B. UK came up with a common goal under the Paris Agreement
C. UK's recent major policies are far from its predetermined goal
D. UK sets an ambitious climate goal of 68% emissions cut by 2030

The cane toad (海蟾蜍) was imported to Australia in 1935 to protect sugarcane crops. __16__ Experts estimate that there are currently over 200 million samples spread across Northern Australia, and the numbers are only growing. The increasing population is proving to be deadly for many native Australian animal species that hunt the toads as food. __17__
While some animals have learned to completely avoid the frogs, the Australian monitor lizards continue to be killed by them. The lizards that catch small animals love eating cane toads. __18__ It takes the cane toad less than 30 seconds to release enough poison to kill a lizard.
__19__ They decided to train the lizards to avoid the cane toads. To carry out the idea they went to a region of northwestern Australia that had not yet been invaded by cane toads and fed the wild lizards with young cane toads. Though the smaller animals release the same poison as the adults, they do so in smaller amounts. __20__ The researchers say it took just one or two tests to teach the lizards to stay away from cane toads. They continued to avoid the animals even when the larger cane toads arrived.
A．Not surprisingly, their population has dropped sharply.
B．Unfortunately, in most cases, it turns out to be their last meal.
C．With very few natural enemies, their population began to grow rapidly.
D．Now a team of researchers came up with a good plan to save the lizards.
E．Gradually, the lizards learned to eat only the mildly poisonous cane toads.
F．Therefore, while the poison does make the lizards sick, it does not kill them.
G．That's because cane toads release some deadly poison when they sense danger.

A teacher in New York decided to honor each of her seniors in high school by telling them the difference they each made.She called each student to the front of the class，one at a time.First，she told them how the student made a difference to her and the class.Then she presented each of them with a blue ribbon(缎带) imprinted with gold letters which read，“Who I Am Makes a Difference.” Afterwards the teacher decided to do a class project to see what kind of influence recognition would have on a community.She gave each of the students three more ribbons and instructed them to go out and spread this acknowledgment ceremony.Then they were to follow up on the results，see who honored whom and report back to the class in about a week.

【解析】文章介绍了一种奇特的自然现象——“动物”雨，及其形成原因。
A 细节理解题。细节理解题。根据第一段中"On Saturday 24 August 1918， it was raining cats and dogs and thundering over a city called Sunderland on the northeast coast of England.（1918年8月24日星期六，雨下得很大，在英格兰东北海岸一个叫桑德兰的城市上空轰鸣）"可知，1918年8月24日的雨下得很大。rain cats and dogs表示"倾盆大雨"，故选A。
D 细节理解题。由第二段中的Sand eels swim together in large groups, often in sandy water,and are often found in large numbers in the North Sea, which reaches out to the east of Sunderland.沙鳗成群结队地在一起游泳，经常在沙质的水中，而且经常在北海发现大量沙鳗，北海一直延伸到桑德兰的东部。可知，那些出现在桑德兰市的沙鳗最可能来自与该市东部相连的北海。
B. 词句猜测题。第三段主要解释了导致 1918 年那次奇特自然现象的原因——暴风雨导致了水龙卷，而水龙卷的威力很大，沙鳗被吸进水龙卷里，并被卷进云层，随着云层移动 150 多公里远直至降落。划线词 them 与其所在句中的They都指代 waterspouts（水龙卷）。
11.B. 推理判断题。根据最后一段句子 It would probably hurt if one fell on your head! 及…will the time ever come when it may really begin to rain cats and dogs 可知，作者用与英文谚语 it was raining cats and dogs 相关的表述 it may really begin to rain cats and dogs,含蓄地表达了他对目前环境的担忧。故选B。
D
The UK government has promised to cut the country's greenhouse gas emissions (排放) by at least 68% by 2030 compared with 1990 levels, marking a significant increase from its current goal.
The new goal comes nine days ahead of the UK hosting a“climate action summit (峰会)”to encourage other countries to declare tougher climate plans, known as Nationally Deter-mined Contributions (NDCs), under the Paris Agreement. Current NDCs will raise temperatures by 3℃. And stronger plans are needed to meet the Paris deal's goal of limiting global warming to 1. 5℃.
"This is the most significant NDCs announcement so far from any major economy," said Richard Black at the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit, a UK-based think tank, in a statement.
The new goal is exactly in line with what the government's official climate adviser, the Climate Change Committee, called for in a letter published earlier today. The group said 68% would be "“world-leading" compared with existing plans of governments.
The UK had previously promised a 53% cut in emissions as part of a joint (共同的) effort with the rest of the European Union, but the UK is determined to produce a new NDCs. Separately, the UK had also promised a 57% cut by 2032 domestically.
It is clear that far more action will be needed if the UK is to meet the new goal. The government's own analysis last week showed that recent major methods, such as banning newoil-fueled car sales by 2030，had failed to do enough to put the UK on track even for the old goal of 57% by 2032. The new goal obviously widens that gap further.
12. Why did the UK declare its new goal before “climate action summit”
A. To show its former plans are based on facts.
B. To blame other countries for their low goals.
C. To call on other countries to take bigger steps.
D. To take the lead in controlling greenhouse gas emissions.
13. What is the UK’s new goal for reducing emissions
A. 15%. B. 68%. C. 57%. D. 53%.
14. What's the author s attitude to the UK's new goal
A. Disapproval. B. Doubtful.
C. Unconcerned. D. Subjective.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. A new goal will be put forward on“climate action summit"
B. UK came up with a common goal under the Paris Agreement
C. UK's recent major policies are far from its predetermined goal
D. UK sets an ambitious climate goal of 68% emissions cut by 2030
12. C 13. B 14. B 15. D
【解析】
这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了英国政府承诺，到2030年，该国的温室气体排放量将比1990年的水平至少减少68%。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中的“The new goal comes nine days ahead of the UK hosting a “climate action summit（峰会）” to encourage other countries to declare tougher climate plans, known as Nationally Determined Contributions（NDCs）, under the Paris Agreement.”（这一新目标是在英国主办“气候行动峰会”的九天前提出的，该峰会旨在鼓励其他国家根据《巴黎协定》宣布更严厉的气候计划，即国家确定贡献（简称NDC）。）可知英国在“气候行动峰会”前宣布新目标是为了鼓励其他国家根据《巴黎协定》宣布更严厉的气候计划（更大的国家确定贡献），即呼吁其他国家对气候变化采取更大的措施。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段“The UK government has promised to cut the country's greenhouse gas emissions（排放）by at least 68% by 2030 compared with 1990 levels, marking a significant increase from its current goal.”（英国政府承诺，到2030年，该国的温室气体排放量将比1990年的水平至少减少68%，比目前的目标有了显著的提高。）可知英国减排的新目标是减少68%。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段中的“It is clear that far more action will be needed if the UK is to meet the new goal. The government's own analysis last week showed that recent major methods, such as banning new oil-fueled car sales by 2030, had failed to do enough to put the UK on track even for the old goal of 57% by 2032.”（显然，如果英国要实现这一新目标，还需要采取更多的行动。英国政府自己上周的分析显示，最近出台的一些主要措施，比如在2030年之前禁止销售新的石油燃料汽车，也不能使英国走上正轨，即使是在2032年之前实现57%的旧目标。）可知英国要实现减排68%的新目标还需更多的行动，而且最近的分析显示，实施的主要措施也难以让英国走上减排68%的正轨，可得出作者对英国的新目标持怀疑态度。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The UK government has promised to cut the country's greenhouse gas emissions（排放）by at least 68% by 2030 compared with 1990 levels, marking a significant increase from its current goal.”（英国政府承诺，到2030年，该国的温室气体排放量将比1990年的水平至少减少68%，这比目前的目标有了显著提高。）结合全文内容，可知第一段讲“英国提出温室气体减排68%的新目标”，第二三段“详细地介绍新目标提出的背景”，第四段讲“这一新目标的优势”，第五段讲“英国此前的减排目标”，最后一段讲“作者对英国新目标的实现持怀疑态度”，可知文章主要介绍了英国设定了到2030年减排68%的雄心勃勃的气候目标。“英国制定了一个雄心勃勃的气候目标，到2030年减排68%”最适合作文章标题。故选D项。

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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The cane toad (海蟾蜍) was imported to Australia in 1935 to protect sugarcane crops. __16__ Experts estimate that there are currently over 200 million samples spread across Northern Australia, and the numbers are only growing. The increasing population is proving to be deadly for many native Australian animal species that hunt the toads as food. __17__
While some animals have learned to completely avoid the frogs, the Australian monitor lizards continue to be killed by them. The lizards that catch small animals love eating cane toads. __18__ It takes the cane toad less than 30 seconds to release enough poison to kill a lizard.
__19__ They decided to train the lizards to avoid the cane toads. To carry out the idea they went to a region of northwestern Australia that had not yet been invaded by cane toads and fed the wild lizards with young cane toads. Though the smaller animals release the same poison as the adults, they do so in smaller amounts. __20__ The researchers say it took just one or two tests to teach the lizards to stay away from cane toads. They continued to avoid the animals even when the larger cane toads arrived.
A．Not surprisingly, their population has dropped sharply.
B．Unfortunately, in most cases, it turns out to be their last meal.
C．With very few natural enemies, their population began to grow rapidly.
D．Now a team of researchers came up with a good plan to save the lizards.
E．Gradually, the lizards learned to eat only the mildly poisonous cane toads.
F．Therefore, while the poison does make the lizards sick, it does not kill them.
G．That's because cane toads release some deadly poison when they sense danger.
本文为说明文。海蟾蜍于1935年被引进澳大利亚以保护甘蔗作物。由于天敌很少，它们的数量开始迅速增长。专家估计，目前澳大利亚北部有2亿多只海蟾蜍，而且这个数字还在不断增长。事实证明，对许多以蟾蜍为食的澳大利亚本土动物来说，不断增长的种群数量是致命的。目前，研究人员在探索如何教会蜥蜴远离这些海蟾蜍。
16．C 解析：根据下文Experts estimate that there are currently over 200 million samples spread across Northern Australia, and the numbers are only growing.(专家估计，目前澳大利亚北部有2亿多只海蟾蜍，而且这个数字还在不断增长)可知，C项“由于天敌很少，它们的数量开始迅速增长”符合此处语境。故C选项正确。
17．G 解析：根据上文The increasing population is proving to be deadly for many native Australian animal species that hunt the toads as food.(事实证明，对许多以蟾蜍为食的澳大利亚本土动物来说，不断增长的种群数量是致命的)可知，G项“那是因为海蟾蜍感觉到危险时会释放一些致命的毒素”符合此处语境。故G选项正确。
18．B 解析：根据上文The lizards that catch small animals love eating cane toads.(捕捉小动物的蜥蜴喜欢吃海蟾蜍)及下文It takes the cane toad less than 30 seconds to release enough poison to kill a lizard.(海蟾蜍在30秒内释放出足以杀死蜥蜴的毒素)可知，B项“不幸的是，在大多数情况下，这是它们的最后一餐”符合此处语境。故B选项正确。
19．D 解析：根据下文They decided to train the lizards to avoid the cane toads.(他们决定训练蜥蜴以避开海蟾蜍)可知，D项“现在，一组研究人员提出了一个拯救蜥蜴的好计划”符合此处语境。故D选项正确。
20．F 解析：根据上文Though the smaller animals release the same poison as the adults, they do so in smaller amounts.(虽然较小的动物释放的毒素与成年动物相同，但它们释放毒素的量较小)可知，F项“因此，虽然毒素确实使蜥蜴生病，但它并没有杀死它们”符合此处语境。故F选项正确。

Dear WWF，
There are wetlands in my hometown called Wucheng Town, on the lakeside of the Poyang Lake. When winter comes, many birds from the north fly to live here, including some rare and endangered ones, which adds a beautiful view to my hometown. However, the harm to the birds is various. Eggs are often picked up. Worse still, people even catch birds for meat.
Pollution from chemical factories is also a big problem. Wetland area is decreasing each year!
I strongly hope that WWF can cooperate with our local government to establish a reserve for migrating birds, and at the same time, reduce environmental pollution and protect wetlands!
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua

A teacher in New York decided to honor each of her seniors in high school by telling them the difference they each made.She called each student to the front of the class，one at a time.First，she told them how the student made a difference to her and the class.Then she presented each of them with a blue ribbon(缎带) imprinted with gold letters which read，“Who I Am Makes a Difference.” Afterwards the teacher decided to do a class project to see what kind of influence recognition would have on a community.She gave each of the students three more ribbons and instructed them to go out and spread this acknowledgment ceremony.Then they were to follow up on the results，see who honored whom and report back to the class in about a week.
One of the boys in the class went to a junior manager in a nearby company and honored him for helping him with his career planning.The boy gave him a blue ribbon and put it on his shirt.Then he gave him two extra ribbons，and told him what it was all about.
Later that day the junior manager went in to see his boss，who had been noted，by the way，as being kind of a conceited(傲慢的) fellow.He seated his boss down and told him that he deeply admired him for being a creative genius.The boss seemed very surprised.The junior manager asked him if he would accept the gift of the blue ribbon and give him permission to put it on him.His surprised boss said，“Well，sure.” The junior manager took the blue ribbon and placed it right on his boss’s jacket above his heart.
As he gave him the last extra ribbon，he said，“Would you do me a favor Would you take this extra ribbon and pass it on by honoring somebody else The young boy who first gave me the ribbons is doing project in school and we want to keep this recognition ceremony going and find out how it affects people.”
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
That night the boss came home to his 14-year-old son.
“My days are really busy and I don’t pay a lot of attention to you，” continued the father.

“My days are really busy and I don’t pay a lot of attention to you，” continued the father.“Sometimes I scream at you，but somehow tonight，I just let you know that you make a difference to me.You’re a great kid and I love you！” The startled boy started to sob，and he couldn’t stop crying.He looked at his father and said through his tears，“I was planning on committing suicide tomorrow，Dad，because I didn’t think you loved me.Now I needn’t do that.”
