Ⅳ.阅读理解
The sun rises over the Cordillera mountain ranges in the Philippines,lighting up the beautiful terraced rice fields.Rows of terraces wrap around the mountainsides from the ground to the very mountaintops,as far as the eye can see.Built with stone walls at least 1,000 years old,possibly 2,000 years,they are maintained by the ancient tradition and the lifestyle of the local Ifugao people.But life here is changing,and with it comes threats to this World Heritage Site.
Young people are influenced by modern media and no longer want to work such long hours.More educational opportunities mean that many choose to make a life outside of the villages and rice fields.Roads are being built,allowing trucks bearing agricultural goods and buses bringing more tourists to and fro.More tourists mean the need for more water and food,and the production of more waste and pollution.Ugly tall buildings,rather than beautiful traditional wooden homes,spring up in some villages.
Can these changes be managed so that the terraces continue to produce rice,and remain a beautiful part of our world heritage Jimmy Padchanan,an official of the village of Mayoyao,said in an interview,“We are combining the old societies with the new,while maintaining many of our values.” He and the local people were confident that they would keep the best of the new and the strength of the past to protect the terraces,which are described as “a living cultural landscape of breathtaking beauty”.
1.What do we know about the Cordillera terraces from the first paragraph
A.They are often lit up at night.
B.They are covered with various crops.

B.Many youths left the area.
C.Tourists cause safety concerns.
D.Agricultural land is largely taken up.

A.Stop the modernization of the region.
B.Open our mind to new ideas.
C.Have a mix of old and new.
D.Involve more development in the area.
Ⅴ.七选五
ShouldWeCreateMoreNationalParks
Don’t you find it worrying that more and more species of animals are in real danger of becoming extinct 1 And I think the best way to do this is for the government to create more national parks.
2 If this environment is destroyed—for example,when farmers clear a forest for new fields,or trees are cut down for making money,many animals are unable to survive,and more species are likely to become extinct.
In addition,national parks protect animals from the danger of being hunted.A major reason why many species are endangered is that the animals are killed by hunters.They hunt animals to make money. 3
On the other hand,some people fight against the creation of national parks because they consider it wrong to interfere with nature.They believe that wild animals are happier living in their natural environment. 4 They also point out that a few species are more likely to produce young animals in the wild than in national parks.
All in all,these disadvantages are far less important than the benefits of national parks,because these parks allow animals to live in a safe environment. 5
A.They say though the animals may face danger,they enjoy a free life.
B.Firstly,national parks protect the animals’ natural environment.
C.To begin with,animals are important to humans.
D.I personally believe that we must save these animals.
E.There is a heated discussion about whether to create more national parks.
F.In fact,they protect animals from their greatest enemies—human beings.
G.Some hunters even hunt animals simply for sport.

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。
“I just want a normal birthday party,” April told Bailey as they walked home from school.
Bailey knew what April meant.April’s parents loved the environment.And because April happened to be born on Earth Day,all her parties had an Earth Day theme.“Remember when you turned seven ” Bailey said.
“How could I forget the Throw-Out Blowout ” said April.
“We helped out at your garage sale and donated the money to charity.And when you turned eight—”
“It was a Tree Spree,” finished April.“We planted maples.”
“Last year,we all collected newspapers to recycle,” said Bailey.
“The Print Sprint ” April groaned.
Bailey giggled.“I thought it was fun.”
Later that night,as April loaded the dishwasher,she said,“I’d like to plan my own party this year.”
“Sure,” said Mom,“We could have a Compost(堆肥) Carnival.”
“Great idea!” said Dad.
April cleared her throat “I’d like to go to Maze Craze(疯狂迷宫) instead.”
“Really ” said Dad,surprised.
“I guess we could do that,” said Mom.
April couldn’t wait for her birthday!She and her friends would have so much fun.And they wouldn’t have to think one bit about the earth.
The following weekend,everyone gathered in the parking lot outside of Maze Craze.“Thanks for coming,” said April “I’ve been so excited about my party.No shovels.No collecting recyclables.Nothing earthy about it.” She shifted her feet.“Then I got here this morning and saw this parking lot.”
April’s friends glanced around.Plastic bottles bounced across the cement.Newspapers and fast-food sacks blocked the storm drain.Shopping bags rustled in the trees.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Looking at the mess,April frowned._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ⅳ. It is our duty to protect the environment and live the low carbon life.
As a middle school student,I can do something to help.I turn off the lights and try to use both sides of paper to save energy.When I buy things,I always take my own cloth bag instead of the plastic bag.
I think even the simplest everyday activities can make a difference to the environment.I will not only keep saving energy but also encourage others to do it.If everyone tries their best to protect the environment,I’m sure we’ll have a better life.
Ⅴ. Lookingatthemess,Aprilfrowned.Though she had been longing for a non-Earth Day birthday,it was difficult to turn a blind eye to such a mess.She turned around to her friends,“How about picking the trash first ” Her proposal was quickly approved by others and soon they were in business.April’s mum grabbed some gloves from the trunk while her dad managed to remove those shopping bags in the trees.With the bags,April and Bailey collected scattered bottles.Many hands make light work.In a short while,three bags were filled with cans and newspapers to recycle.
Aprillookedatthebagswithbottles,cansandpapertorecycleandsmiled.Then she looked up at her friends.Their neat clothes for the birthday party were soaked with sweat,but their faces glowed with satisfaction.It felt so good to do something for the earth.“Happy Earth Day,everyone,” said April.“Now we are ready for Maze Craze.”“Happy Birthday,April!” shouted her friends.
