Thank you for attending this public hearing on our new Severe Weather Warning System.I’m Helen Dunley.First,I’d like to remind everyone that the main purpose of a weather warning system is to tell people outdoors to move inside.Now,it’s important to remember that we will test the system every Saturday at noon,so don’t worry about the noise at that time.It’s a good idea to go outside and listen when we test the system and make sure you can hear them in your neighbourhood.Remember that the loud noise is only one part of the warning system.The loud noise is activated by city officials after we receive warnings from the national weather service.In other words,you might hear a warning on the national news before you hear a warning here.If you do hear one,what should you do First,take cover.Our city doesn’t have public shelters,so go to the inside of any building,away from windows.Second,wait for reports on local media.Finally,stay indoors until you hear the all-clear signal.

Many years ago,when we first went to Canada,we were driving through Montana to Colorado with our two children.We thought we would find a motel on the way and had not made a booking.As it was getting late,we started looking for a motel,only to find that all were booked.
Finally,around 9 p.m.,we stopped at a gas station to fill up on gas.My husband asked for a phone book and told the woman at the counter that we were trying to find a motel.He tried for 15 minutes.When he was unsuccessful,the woman,Linda,said she and her family lived nearby and would be happy if we spent the night at her home.

By the end of the century,if not sooner,the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate,according to a new study.
At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny marine microorganisms(海洋微生物)called phytoplankton.Because of the way light reflects off the organisms,these phytoplankton create colourful patterns at the ocean surface.Ocean colour varies from green to blue,depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton.Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas,while reducing it in other spots,leading to changes in the ocean’s appearance.
Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface,where they pull carbon dioxide into the ocean while giving off oxygen.When these organisms die,they bury carbon in the deep ocean,an important process that helps to regulate the global climate.But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend.Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth,since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow,but also nutrients.
Stephanie Dutkiewicz,a scientist in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science,built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century.In a world that warms up by 3℃,it found that multiple changes to the colour of the oceans would occur.The model projects that currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer.But in some waters,such as those of the Arctic,warming will make conditions riper for phytoplankton,and these areas will turn greener.“Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing,” she said,“but the type of phytoplankton is changing.”
8.What are the first two paragraphs mainly about
A.The various patterns at the ocean surface.
B.The cause of the changes in ocean colour.
C.The way light reflects off marine organisms.
D.The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.
9.What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Sensitive. B.Beneficial.
C.Significant. D.Unnoticeable.
10.What can we learn from the passage
A.Phytoplankton play a declining role in the marine ecosystem.
B.Dutkiewicz’s model aims to project phytoplankton changes.
C.Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.
D.Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.
11.What is the main purpose of the passage
A.To assess the consequences of ocean colour changes.
B.To analyse the composition of the ocean food chain.
C.To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.
D.To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.
D
The Suez Canal(苏伊士运河),which connects the Mediterranean Sea(地中海) and the Red Sea,opened in 1869.It helps speed world trade between the East and the West.But the man-made waterway has also helped speed the rise of other things,such as non-native species,which have damaged the Mediterranean’s environment and caused native species to disappear.
The number of non-native species has risen since the Suez Canal was widened in 2015.The “New Suez Canal” has raised concerns in many Mediterranean countries.
Bella Galil is an Israeli biologist who has studied the Mediterranean for over 30 years.She noted that the widening and deepening of the Suez Canal had created a “moving aquarium” of species.These species could make coastal waters almost unusable for human beings.Galil believes the number of invasive species has reached 400,which is twice the number from 30 years ago.
Scientists in Mediterranean countries from Turkey,Tunisia to Lebanon share the same concern.But some Egyptians don’t consider the environmental concerns as serious.They said only 5% of the invaders are a problem and that invasive species can be helpful by “replacing species that are overfished”.They don’t think that the widening of the canal is responsible for the increase in invasive species;they say the increase was caused by rising water temperatures and wastewater from ships.
The Suez Canal Authority runs the canal.Canal officials say they are closely watching the movements of sea species.They say they are requiring ships to take action to avoid carrying species from one side of the canal to the other.And they are trying to keep salt levels high in the Bitter Lakes to block invasive species out.Galil,however,questions whether these will be enough to protect the native species.“One day we will wake up to a complete and irreversible(不可逆的)change and know that there was something we could have done about it,if only it had been done on time,” she said.
12.What does the first paragraph show
A.Seeing is believing.
B.Man will conquer nature.
C.Let nature take its course.
D.Every coin has two sides.
13.What does Galil say about the “New Suez Canal”
A.Its environment is worsening.
B.It connects Mediterranean countries.
C.It is widened to include more species.
D.It is to protect endangered native species.
14.What do some Egyptians disagree on
A.The results of overfishing.
B.The decrease of native species.
C.The cause of the increase in invasive species.
D.The meaning of the widening of the Suez Canal.
15.What is Galil’s attitude to the Suez Canal Authority’s action
A.Uninterested. B.Doubtful.
C.Supporting. D.Understanding.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
High on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau lies China’s “Water tower” Sanjiangyuan. 16 The three rivers:the Yellow River,the Yangtze River and the Lancang River,provide water for about half the population of China.However,human activities such as overgrazing(过度放牧)are putting this ecosystem at risk.
17 In 2016,the Chinese government established Sanjiangyuan National Park,which was a pilot(试 行)program for China’s national park system. 18 Due to the progress made in the region,Qinghai held the first National Park Forum on Aug.19.
Sanjiangyuan National Park is a model of eco-protection. 19 For example,Herdsmen have given their grasslands to nature and resettled in urban areas.As for wildlife,they are monitored by field conservation stations to keep the environment in good condition.
The idea of a national park system is still new in China,but it must be realized.As President Xi wrote in the congratulatory letter to the forum,“Building an ecological civilization bears great significance in the development and progress of human civilization.”With great efforts,people may one day be able to enjoy themselves in the vast lands of Sanjiangyuan and run freely across the plains alongside nature’s animals. 20
A.Hopefully,though,we have realized the damage.
B.It’s home to the headwater of China’s three big rivers.
C.Unfortunately,the situation has got worse and worse.
D.It attracts visitors with its fantastic nature beauty and various wildlife.
E.The park has increased the area’s green coverage and attracted more wildlife.
F.Hopefully,the success of Sanjiangyuan will mark the start of a greener future.
G.The local government has different ways of slowing environmental degradation.

What makes the sea turn red and causes thousands of fish to die As far back as anyone could remember,the blame was placed on the “red tides”.In 1947,scientists finally connected the red tides with a microscopic sea organism 36. (call)the dinoflagellate(腰鞭毛虫).
The dinoflagellate is so tiny 37. 6,000 of these organisms may be contained in 38.single drop of water.It stands on the borderline between plants and animals in its classification.It produces its own food,as plants do.But it moves 39. (free) and eats other organisms,as animals do.
Dinoflagellates are normally only one of the many kinds of organisms found in plankton.Plankton is the name given to all very small 40.(form) of sea life.However,when the air and water 41.(be) calm and warm,dinoflagellates multiply with an 42. (amaze)speed.The surface of the water appears 43.(cover) with a red carpet.
The dinoflagellates give off a poison.Many fish die.Their bodies are washed up on the beach.Beaches are not fit 44. any use.Fish that are not killed may become 45. (poison) to animals or people who eat mercial fishing comes to a stop.
As dinoflagellates consume all the food and oxygen in an area,they die.After a time,the sea returns to normal.But when conditions are right,the red tide comes again.

One morning,my family and I woke up and went to eat breakfast—until we heard barking and scratching at the door.When my mom opened the door,we saw a puppy.We looked around to see if we saw its owner,but there was no one.We took it inside and fed it.
Regardless of how badly I wanted to keep the puppy,we decided to look for the owner.We looked all day,but we failed.We talked about whether we should keep looking or if we should look the next day.We all agreed to look for its owner the next day.
So,the next day my family and I looked for the dog’s owner.It was so hard looking for its owner.We were looking for flyers(传单)that involved the puppy,but no luck.We wouldn’t have quit because it’s a puppy.
“We won’t stop looking,” my mom and dad said.We were going to take care of the puppy until we found its owner.
When we woke up in the morning,we went to a pet shop to buy the puppy some dog food.After that we went back home to feed the puppy the dog food that we had just bought.After we fed the puppy,we gave it a nice bath.It was so dirty that the fur was black and sticky,but after we gave it a bath,it turned white.And I noticed there was a collar on him,which said “Coby”.After we gave him a bath,we went to look for the puppy’s owner,but my mom stayed at home,and it was only my dad and me this time.
We continued looking more and more until we found flyers.We looked at it.
It said,“Lost Dog:Please Help if Found.” Then we looked at the picture;it looked exactly like Coby.We were all happy we found a flyer that was for Cody.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
There was a phone number on the flyer.
We found the lady’s house,and then we knocked on the door.

8.B 段落大意题。根据第一段可知,一项新的研究表明,由于气候变暖,世界上的海洋将会变得更蓝、更绿。结合第二段可知,这种现象是因为一种叫作浮游植物的海洋微生物,在光线反射的作用下在海洋表面形成了五颜六色的图案。海洋的颜色从绿色到蓝色不等,这取决于浮游植物的种类和密度。由此可推断,这两段主要叙述了海洋颜色变化的原因。故选B项。
9.A 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth,since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow,but also nutrients.”可知,气候变暖会改变海洋的主要特征,并会影响浮游植物的生长。由此可判断浮游植物很容易受到海洋变暖趋势的影响,即浮游植物对海洋变暖很“敏感”(sensitive)。故A项正确。
10.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The model projects that currently blue...and these areas will turn greener.”可知,Dutkiewicz 的模型预测,目前只有少量浮游植物的蓝色区域可能会变得更蓝。但是在一些水域,比如北极,气候变暖会使浮游植物的生长条件更加成熟,而这些水域会变得更绿。由此可推断,浮游植物变多的水域可能会变得更绿。分析选项可知D项符合题意。
11.C 写作意图题。由第一段可知,一项新的研究表明,由于气候变暖,世界上的海洋将会变得更蓝、更绿。再结合第三段中的“But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend.Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth...”可知,浮游植物很容易受到海洋变暖趋势的影响,气候变暖改变了海洋的关键特征,并能影响浮游植物的生长。由此可知,本文主要解释气候变化对海洋的影响。故选C项。
【语篇解读】本文是说明文,苏伊士运河扩建后,非本地物种入侵严重,导致当地物种逐渐消失。
12.D 推理判断题。根据首段的内容可知,苏伊士运河连接着地中海和红海,促进了东西方之间的贸易。但扩建后,外来物种入侵严重,这些入侵生物破坏了地中海的环境,导致当地物种逐渐消失。由此可以推知,本段说明凡事有利有弊。
13.A 推理判断题。根据第三段可知,以色列生物学家Bella Galil表示扩建后,苏伊士运河的入侵物种使得沿海水域的水几乎不适合人类使用,而且入侵物种的数量是三十年前的两倍。由此可知,扩建后的New Suez Canal环境恶化。
14.C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的最后一句可知,埃及人认为造成入侵物种增加的是水温升高和船只排放废水,而不是扩建运河。
15.B 观点态度题。根据最后一段的“Galil,however,questions whether...if only it had been done on time”可以推知,Galil对于Suez Canal Authority采取的措施表示怀疑。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国建立以三江源为龙头的国家公园系统及其重要意义。
16.B 此句为承上启下句,上承China’s “Water tower”,下启The three rivers。B项中It指代上句中的Sanjiangyuan;three big rivers与下句中 的The three rivers 相呼应。
17.A 本句是段首句,本段主要讲建立三江源国家公园并初步取得成效,和第一段结尾句之间缺少一个过渡句,A项正好符合语境。
18.E 前句讲建立国家公园,后句讲取得成效,两句中间应介绍一下公园的基本情况。填入E项后句意通顺连贯,而且E项中The park指代前句中的Sanjiangyuan National Park。
19.G 根据后文“For example...”可知,这里是保护环境所采取的措施,是对空白处一句的支持句,因此,G项符合上下文语境。
20.F 通读本段可知,本段主要讲建立三江源公园的意义和展望。F项符合本段主旨。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。本文讲述了灾难和挫折是如何成就一个人的。作者在年幼时失明,在经历了多年的彷徨无助之后,找回了自信,学会了如何面对困难,实现了自己的梦想。
21.A 句意:我还记得阳光是多么灿烂。由上文“Now I am thirty-two”可知,作者4岁失明,现在32岁了,但还是记得阳光是多么灿烂。故选A项。
22.B 句意:能恢复视觉固然好,但灾难也能对人产生奇妙的作用。由下文“see again”可知,能恢复视觉固然好。故选B项。
23.C 作者失明了,这对作者来说是一场灾难,但灾难也能对人产生奇妙的作用。故选C项。
24.C 句意:失去视力使我更加珍惜自己拥有的。由文章第一句“I lost my sight when I was four”可知,作者失明了。故选C项。
25.D 作者失明了,但更加珍惜自己拥有的,这有助于作者完成自己的梦想。 故选D项。
26.B 由“I mean something bigger:the confidence that I am”可知,相信自己并不仅仅指支持作者独自走下楼梯的那种自信。故选B项。
27.D 由上文“despite being imperfect”可知,虽然作者有缺陷,但却是一个真正的有进取心的人。故选D项。
28.A 由上文“It took me years to discover”可知,作者花了很长时间才树立并不断加强这一信念。故选A项。
29.A 句意:“你拿去,”他竭力劝我,“在地上滚。”别人扔给作者一个棒球,作者说不会玩,然后对方劝作者滚动球。故选A项。
30.B 由下文“This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal”可知,他的话在作者脑子里生了根,所以决定去实现曾认为不可能达到的目标。故选B项。
31.D 句意:我马上想到一个我曾认为不可能达到的目标——打棒球。作者是个盲人,且要打棒球,这在作者心里是不可能完成的。故选D项。
32.A 句意:在盲人学校,我发明了一种很受人欢迎的棒球游戏,地面球。由下文“ground ball”可知,作者受到启发,成功发明了一种棒球的变化形式。故选A项。
33.B 作者是个盲人,虽然不断给自己提出目标并努力去实现,但也要清楚失明使自己有局限。故选B项。
34.C 句意:若开始就知道某个目标根本达不到却硬要去实现,那不会有任何好处,因为那只会带来失败的苦果。分析句意可知,前后表示因果关系。故选C项。
35.A 句意:我有时也失败,但一般来说总有进步。由下文“but on the average I made progress”可知,make progress与fail相对应。故选A项。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。根据科学家的调查可知,赤潮与一种叫作腰鞭毛虫的微小海洋生物有关,文章阐述了这种海洋生物对海洋产生的影响。
36.called 分析句子结构可知,设空处填非谓语动词。organism和call之间是被动关系,故填called。
37.that so...that...意为“如此……以至于……”。
38.a a drop of意为“一滴……”。
39.freely 修饰动词用副词,freely意为“自由地”。
40.forms 根据空格前的all可知,此处用可数名词复数形式。
41.are 结合语境可知,此处用一般现在时,air和water都有独立的含义,且不构成成套名词,故be动词用are。
42.amazing 分析句子结构可知,设空处填形容词,修饰speed应该用-ing形容词,amazing意为“令人惊讶的”。
43.to be covered appear to do意为“似乎做……,好像做……”。the surface of the water和cover之间是被动关系,故填to be covered。
44.for be fit for是固定搭配,意为“适合……;胜任……”。
45.poisonous become是系动词,故设空处填形容词作表语,poisonous意为“有毒的”。

第一节
Dear Sir/Madam,
I’m writing to express my opinion on how to protect the animals on the island I visited last weekend.The animals there are lovely,but it’s said that the number of them is decreasing year by year.If measures aren’t taken,they will be in danger of extinction.
As far as I’m concerned,laws concerning animal protection should be made to punish those illegal hunters.Besides,it is necessary to set up natural reserves.There is no doubt that animals living in safe environments are more likely to survive.What’s more,something should be done to raise people’s awareness of protecting animals.
To sum up,protecting animals is of great urgency and it is vital for us to take steps to protect them.
Please help the poor animals.I am sure that they will survive with your help.
Yours,
Li Hua

There was a phone number on the flyer.My dad called it and someone answered;it was a lady.My dad asked whether she was the one who posted the flyers.She said “Yes!” with excitement and told us Coby,who was very dear to her,had been gone days before.Then we told her that we had her puppy and we would take him to her.She told us her address at once;then we went to it.
We found the lady’s house,and then we knocked on the door.A lady opened the door,and when she saw the puppy,she screamed with joy.We handed her the puppy,feeling proud.She wanted to give us a reward for taking care of her puppy for her,but we said it was OK because we were really happy to help.So we went home tired but content,telling my mom the whole thing.My family became friends with the lady,and we were all happy.

Thank you for attending this public hearing on our new Severe Weather Warning System.I’m Helen Dunley.First,I’d like to remind everyone that the main purpose of a weather warning system is to tell people outdoors to move inside.Now,it’s important to remember that we will test the system every Saturday at noon,so don’t worry about the noise at that time.It’s a good idea to go outside and listen when we test the system and make sure you can hear them in your neighbourhood.Remember that the loud noise is only one part of the warning system.The loud noise is activated by city officials after we receive warnings from the national weather service.In other words,you might hear a warning on the national news before you hear a warning here.If you do hear one,what should you do First,take cover.Our city doesn’t have public shelters,so go to the inside of any building,away from windows.Second,wait for reports on local media.Finally,stay indoors until you hear the all-clear signal.

Many years ago,when we first went to Canada,we were driving through Montana to Colorado with our two children.We thought we would find a motel on the way and had not made a booking.As it was getting late,we started looking for a motel,only to find that all were booked.
Finally,around 9 p.m.,we stopped at a gas station to fill up on gas.My husband asked for a phone book and told the woman at the counter that we were trying to find a motel.He tried for 15 minutes.When he was unsuccessful,the woman,Linda,said she and her family lived nearby and would be happy if we spent the night at her home.
My husband was stunned at her offer.She called her son to direct us,since she had to stay at the gas station till midnight.
When we reached their home,her husband greeted us.He took out two sleeping bags for the children.He invited us to have coffee and chat while we waited for his wife.When she came back,we asked if we could slip away in the morning so as not to disturb them.They said we were now guests and we would have to have breakfast with them.
We woke up to a table set for breakfast.They’d made a mountain of pancakes and bacon.We ate breakfast,and when we were leaving,my husband asked if he could offer some payment.

By the end of the century,if not sooner,the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate,according to a new study.
At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny marine microorganisms(海洋微生物)called phytoplankton.Because of the way light reflects off the organisms,these phytoplankton create colourful patterns at the ocean surface.Ocean colour varies from green to blue,depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton.Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas,while reducing it in other spots,leading to changes in the ocean’s appearance.
Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface,where they pull carbon dioxide into the ocean while giving off oxygen.When these organisms die,they bury carbon in the deep ocean,an important process that helps to regulate the global climate.But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend.Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth,since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow,but also nutrients.
Stephanie Dutkiewicz,a scientist in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science,built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century.In a world that warms up by 3℃,it found that multiple changes to the colour of the oceans would occur.The model projects that currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer.But in some waters,such as those of the Arctic,warming will make conditions riper for phytoplankton,and these areas will turn greener.“Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing,” she said,“but the type of phytoplankton is changing.”
8.What are the first two paragraphs mainly about
A.The various patterns at the ocean surface.
B.The cause of the changes in ocean colour.
C.The way light reflects off marine organisms.
D.The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.
9.What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Sensitive. B.Beneficial.
C.Significant. D.Unnoticeable.
10.What can we learn from the passage
A.Phytoplankton play a declining role in the marine ecosystem.
B.Dutkiewicz’s model aims to project phytoplankton changes.
C.Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.
D.Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.
11.What is the main purpose of the passage
A.To assess the consequences of ocean colour changes.
B.To analyse the composition of the ocean food chain.
C.To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.
D.To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.
D
The Suez Canal(苏伊士运河),which connects the Mediterranean Sea(地中海) and the Red Sea,opened in 1869.It helps speed world trade between the East and the West.But the man-made waterway has also helped speed the rise of other things,such as non-native species,which have damaged the Mediterranean’s environment and caused native species to disappear.
The number of non-native species has risen since the Suez Canal was widened in 2015.The “New Suez Canal” has raised concerns in many Mediterranean countries.
Bella Galil is an Israeli biologist who has studied the Mediterranean for over 30 years.She noted that the widening and deepening of the Suez Canal had created a “moving aquarium” of species.These species could make coastal waters almost unusable for human beings.Galil believes the number of invasive species has reached 400,which is twice the number from 30 years ago.
Scientists in Mediterranean countries from Turkey,Tunisia to Lebanon share the same concern.But some Egyptians don’t consider the environmental concerns as serious.They said only 5% of the invaders are a problem and that invasive species can be helpful by “replacing species that are overfished”.They don’t think that the widening of the canal is responsible for the increase in invasive species;they say the increase was caused by rising water temperatures and wastewater from ships.
The Suez Canal Authority runs the canal.Canal officials say they are closely watching the movements of sea species.They say they are requiring ships to take action to avoid carrying species from one side of the canal to the other.And they are trying to keep salt levels high in the Bitter Lakes to block invasive species out.Galil,however,questions whether these will be enough to protect the native species.“One day we will wake up to a complete and irreversible(不可逆的)change and know that there was something we could have done about it,if only it had been done on time,” she said.
12.What does the first paragraph show
A.Seeing is believing.
B.Man will conquer nature.
C.Let nature take its course.
D.Every coin has two sides.
13.What does Galil say about the “New Suez Canal”
A.Its environment is worsening.
B.It connects Mediterranean countries.
C.It is widened to include more species.
D.It is to protect endangered native species.
14.What do some Egyptians disagree on
A.The results of overfishing.
B.The decrease of native species.
C.The cause of the increase in invasive species.
D.The meaning of the widening of the Suez Canal.
15.What is Galil’s attitude to the Suez Canal Authority’s action
A.Uninterested. B.Doubtful.
C.Supporting. D.Understanding.

High on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau lies China’s “Water tower” Sanjiangyuan. 16 The three rivers:the Yellow River,the Yangtze River and the Lancang River,provide water for about half the population of China.However,human activities such as overgrazing(过度放牧)are putting this ecosystem at risk.
17 In 2016,the Chinese government established Sanjiangyuan National Park,which was a pilot(试 行)program for China’s national park system. 18 Due to the progress made in the region,Qinghai held the first National Park Forum on Aug.19.
Sanjiangyuan National Park is a model of eco-protection. 19 For example,Herdsmen have given their grasslands to nature and resettled in urban areas.As for wildlife,they are monitored by field conservation stations to keep the environment in good condition.
The idea of a national park system is still new in China,but it must be realized.As President Xi wrote in the congratulatory letter to the forum,“Building an ecological civilization bears great significance in the development and progress of human civilization.”With great efforts,people may one day be able to enjoy themselves in the vast lands of Sanjiangyuan and run freely across the plains alongside nature’s animals. 20
A.Hopefully,though,we have realized the damage.
B.It’s home to the headwater of China’s three big rivers.
C.Unfortunately,the situation has got worse and worse.
D.It attracts visitors with its fantastic nature beauty and various wildlife.
E.The park has increased the area’s green coverage and attracted more wildlife.
F.Hopefully,the success of Sanjiangyuan will mark the start of a greener future.
G.The local government has different ways of slowing environmental degradation.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
What makes the sea turn red and causes thousands of fish to die As far back as anyone could remember,the blame was placed on the “red tides”.In 1947,scientists finally connected the red tides with a microscopic sea organism 36. (call)the dinoflagellate(腰鞭毛虫).
The dinoflagellate is so tiny 37. 6,000 of these organisms may be contained in 38.single drop of water.It stands on the borderline between plants and animals in its classification.It produces its own food,as plants do.But it moves 39. (free) and eats other organisms,as animals do.
Dinoflagellates are normally only one of the many kinds of organisms found in plankton.Plankton is the name given to all very small 40.(form) of sea life.However,when the air and water 41.(be) calm and warm,dinoflagellates multiply with an 42. (amaze)speed.The surface of the water appears 43.(cover) with a red carpet.
The dinoflagellates give off a poison.Many fish die.Their bodies are washed up on the beach.Beaches are not fit 44. any use.Fish that are not killed may become 45. (poison) to animals or people who eat mercial fishing comes to a stop.
As dinoflagellates consume all the food and oxygen in an area,they die.After a time,the sea returns to normal.But when conditions are right,the red tide comes again.

第二节(满分25分)
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。
One morning,my family and I woke up and went to eat breakfast—until we heard barking and scratching at the door.When my mom opened the door,we saw a puppy.We looked around to see if we saw its owner,but there was no one.We took it inside and fed it.
Regardless of how badly I wanted to keep the puppy,we decided to look for the owner.We looked all day,but we failed.We talked about whether we should keep looking or if we should look the next day.We all agreed to look for its owner the next day.
So,the next day my family and I looked for the dog’s owner.It was so hard looking for its owner.We were looking for flyers(传单)that involved the puppy,but no luck.We wouldn’t have quit because it’s a puppy.
“We won’t stop looking,” my mom and dad said.We were going to take care of the puppy until we found its owner.
When we woke up in the morning,we went to a pet shop to buy the puppy some dog food.After that we went back home to feed the puppy the dog food that we had just bought.After we fed the puppy,we gave it a nice bath.It was so dirty that the fur was black and sticky,but after we gave it a bath,it turned white.And I noticed there was a collar on him,which said “Coby”.After we gave him a bath,we went to look for the puppy’s owner,but my mom stayed at home,and it was only my dad and me this time.
We continued looking more and more until we found flyers.We looked at it.
It said,“Lost Dog:Please Help if Found.” Then we looked at the picture;it looked exactly like Coby.We were all happy we found a flyer that was for Cody.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
There was a phone number on the flyer.
We found the lady’s house,and then we knocked on the door.

答案：
【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了四本有关西方名人传记的英文图书。
1.D 细节理解题。根据Who Is Jimmy Carter 介绍中的“Everyone was rather surprised when small-town farmer Jimmy Carter first announced that he’d be running for the President in 1976.When Jimmy told his mother,she replied,‘President of what ’”可知,听到Jimmy Carter要竞选美国总统后,包括他母亲在内的所有人都很惊讶,故选D项。
2.B 细节理解题。根据Who Was Ernest Hemingway 的介绍可知,Ernest Hemingway丰富的人生经历对他的写作产生了巨大影响,故选B项。
3.C 推理判断题。综合全文可知,第一位名人在多种音乐之间切换自如,后三位名人一生都尝试了不同的职业,故C项为正确答案。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者一家开车去加拿大,原以为在途中能够找到可以居住的汽车旅馆,但是没有找到。在加油站加油时得到了老板娘的热情招待,她让作者一家住进了她的家里。作者一家表示很感激他们的款待。
4.B 推理判断题。根据第一段中“As it was getting late,we started looking for a motel,only to find that all were booked.”可知,作者想找汽车旅馆住,结果没有找到,所以感觉沮丧。故选B项。
5.D 词义猜测题。根据第二段中“When he was unsuccessful,the woman,Linda,said she and her family lived nearby and would be happy if we spent the night at her home.”可知,作者的丈夫不认识琳达一家人,但是琳达愿意给作者一家提供住处,所以作者的丈夫感到很吃惊。故选D项。
6.C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“We woke up to a table set for breakfast,They’d made a mountain of pancakes and bacon.We ate breakfast”可知,作者一家第二天在琳达家里吃了一顿丰盛的早餐。故选C项。
7.A 主旨大意题。作者一家在没有找到汽车旅馆感到沮丧时,得到了琳达一家慷慨热情的招待,这是作者一家没有想到的。故选A项。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。一项新的研究表明,由于气候变暖,世界上的海洋将会变得更蓝、更绿。这一现象是因为一种叫作浮游植物的海洋微生物,在光线反射的作用下,它们在海洋表面形成了五颜六色的图案,而且浮游植物很容易受到海洋变暖趋势的影响。
8.B 段落大意题。根据第一段可知,一项新的研究表明,由于气候变暖,世界上的海洋将会变得更蓝、更绿。结合第二段可知,这种现象是因为一种叫作浮游植物的海洋微生物,在光线反射的作用下在海洋表面形成了五颜六色的图案。海洋的颜色从绿色到蓝色不等,这取决于浮游植物的种类和密度。由此可推断,这两段主要叙述了海洋颜色变化的原因。故选B项。
9.A 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth,since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow,but also nutrients.”可知,气候变暖会改变海洋的主要特征,并会影响浮游植物的生长。由此可判断浮游植物很容易受到海洋变暖趋势的影响,即浮游植物对海洋变暖很“敏感”(sensitive)。故A项正确。
10.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The model projects that currently blue...and these areas will turn greener.”可知,Dutkiewicz 的模型预测,目前只有少量浮游植物的蓝色区域可能会变得更蓝。但是在一些水域,比如北极,气候变暖会使浮游植物的生长条件更加成熟,而这些水域会变得更绿。由此可推断,浮游植物变多的水域可能会变得更绿。分析选项可知D项符合题意。
11.C 写作意图题。由第一段可知,一项新的研究表明,由于气候变暖,世界上的海洋将会变得更蓝、更绿。再结合第三段中的“But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend.Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth...”可知,浮游植物很容易受到海洋变暖趋势的影响,气候变暖改变了海洋的关键特征,并能影响浮游植物的生长。由此可知,本文主要解释气候变化对海洋的影响。故选C项。
【语篇解读】本文是说明文,苏伊士运河扩建后,非本地物种入侵严重,导致当地物种逐渐消失。
12.D 推理判断题。根据首段的内容可知,苏伊士运河连接着地中海和红海,促进了东西方之间的贸易。但扩建后,外来物种入侵严重,这些入侵生物破坏了地中海的环境,导致当地物种逐渐消失。由此可以推知,本段说明凡事有利有弊。
13.A 推理判断题。根据第三段可知,以色列生物学家Bella Galil表示扩建后,苏伊士运河的入侵物种使得沿海水域的水几乎不适合人类使用,而且入侵物种的数量是三十年前的两倍。由此可知,扩建后的New Suez Canal环境恶化。
14.C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的最后一句可知,埃及人认为造成入侵物种增加的是水温升高和船只排放废水,而不是扩建运河。
15.B 观点态度题。根据最后一段的“Galil,however,questions whether...if only it had been done on time”可以推知,Galil对于Suez Canal Authority采取的措施表示怀疑。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国建立以三江源为龙头的国家公园系统及其重要意义。
16.B 此句为承上启下句,上承China’s “Water tower”,下启The three rivers。B项中It指代上句中的Sanjiangyuan;three big rivers与下句中 的The three rivers 相呼应。
17.A 本句是段首句,本段主要讲建立三江源国家公园并初步取得成效,和第一段结尾句之间缺少一个过渡句,A项正好符合语境。
18.E 前句讲建立国家公园,后句讲取得成效,两句中间应介绍一下公园的基本情况。填入E项后句意通顺连贯,而且E项中The park指代前句中的Sanjiangyuan National Park。
19.G 根据后文“For example...”可知,这里是保护环境所采取的措施,是对空白处一句的支持句,因此,G项符合上下文语境。
20.F 通读本段可知,本段主要讲建立三江源公园的意义和展望。F项符合本段主旨。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。本文讲述了灾难和挫折是如何成就一个人的。作者在年幼时失明,在经历了多年的彷徨无助之后,找回了自信,学会了如何面对困难,实现了自己的梦想。
21.A 句意:我还记得阳光是多么灿烂。由上文“Now I am thirty-two”可知,作者4岁失明,现在32岁了,但还是记得阳光是多么灿烂。故选A项。
22.B 句意:能恢复视觉固然好,但灾难也能对人产生奇妙的作用。由下文“see again”可知,能恢复视觉固然好。故选B项。
23.C 作者失明了,这对作者来说是一场灾难,但灾难也能对人产生奇妙的作用。故选C项。
24.C 句意:失去视力使我更加珍惜自己拥有的。由文章第一句“I lost my sight when I was four”可知,作者失明了。故选C项。
25.D 作者失明了,但更加珍惜自己拥有的,这有助于作者完成自己的梦想。 故选D项。
26.B 由“I mean something bigger:the confidence that I am”可知,相信自己并不仅仅指支持作者独自走下楼梯的那种自信。故选B项。
27.D 由上文“despite being imperfect”可知,虽然作者有缺陷,但却是一个真正的有进取心的人。故选D项。
28.A 由上文“It took me years to discover”可知,作者花了很长时间才树立并不断加强这一信念。故选A项。
29.A 句意:“你拿去,”他竭力劝我,“在地上滚。”别人扔给作者一个棒球,作者说不会玩,然后对方劝作者滚动球。故选A项。
30.B 由下文“This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal”可知,他的话在作者脑子里生了根,所以决定去实现曾认为不可能达到的目标。故选B项。
31.D 句意:我马上想到一个我曾认为不可能达到的目标——打棒球。作者是个盲人,且要打棒球,这在作者心里是不可能完成的。故选D项。
32.A 句意:在盲人学校,我发明了一种很受人欢迎的棒球游戏,地面球。由下文“ground ball”可知,作者受到启发,成功发明了一种棒球的变化形式。故选A项。
33.B 作者是个盲人,虽然不断给自己提出目标并努力去实现,但也要清楚失明使自己有局限。故选B项。
34.C 句意:若开始就知道某个目标根本达不到却硬要去实现,那不会有任何好处,因为那只会带来失败的苦果。分析句意可知,前后表示因果关系。故选C项。
35.A 句意:我有时也失败,但一般来说总有进步。由下文“but on the average I made progress”可知,make progress与fail相对应。故选A项。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。根据科学家的调查可知,赤潮与一种叫作腰鞭毛虫的微小海洋生物有关,文章阐述了这种海洋生物对海洋产生的影响。
36.called 分析句子结构可知,设空处填非谓语动词。organism和call之间是被动关系,故填called。
37.that so...that...意为“如此……以至于……”。
38.a a drop of意为“一滴……”。
39.freely 修饰动词用副词,freely意为“自由地”。
40.forms 根据空格前的all可知,此处用可数名词复数形式。
41.are 结合语境可知,此处用一般现在时,air和water都有独立的含义,且不构成成套名词,故be动词用are。
42.amazing 分析句子结构可知,设空处填形容词,修饰speed应该用-ing形容词,amazing意为“令人惊讶的”。
43.to be covered appear to do意为“似乎做……,好像做……”。the surface of the water和cover之间是被动关系,故填to be covered。
44.for be fit for是固定搭配,意为“适合……;胜任……”。
45.poisonous become是系动词,故设空处填形容词作表语,poisonous意为“有毒的”。

第一节
Dear Sir/Madam,
I’m writing to express my opinion on how to protect the animals on the island I visited last weekend.The animals there are lovely,but it’s said that the number of them is decreasing year by year.If measures aren’t taken,they will be in danger of extinction.
As far as I’m concerned,laws concerning animal protection should be made to punish those illegal hunters.Besides,it is necessary to set up natural reserves.There is no doubt that animals living in safe environments are more likely to survive.What’s more,something should be done to raise people’s awareness of protecting animals.
To sum up,protecting animals is of great urgency and it is vital for us to take steps to protect them.
Please help the poor animals.I am sure that they will survive with your help.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
There was a phone number on the flyer.My dad called it and someone answered;it was a lady.My dad asked whether she was the one who posted the flyers.She said “Yes!” with excitement and told us Coby,who was very dear to her,had been gone days before.Then we told her that we had her puppy and we would take him to her.She told us her address at once;then we went to it.
We found the lady’s house,and then we knocked on the door.A lady opened the door,and when she saw the puppy,she screamed with joy.We handed her the puppy,feeling proud.She wanted to give us a reward for taking care of her puppy for her,but we said it was OK because we were really happy to help.So we went home tired but content,telling my mom the whole thing.My family became friends with the lady,and we were all happy.
