The Colorado River is the lifeblood of the American Southwest. It supplies water to more than 36 million people, has changed the desert into farmland, and allows cities like Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Las Vegas to develop. But satisfying the region's need for water has come at a price.
The river once traveled all the way from Colorado's Rocky Mountains to the Gulf of California. Now, dams control the river's water for human use. As a result, the river no longer reaches the ocean. Without water, the delta (三角洲) at the river's mouth has become dry and poor.
To bring the delta back to life, engineers recently opened the Morelos Dam near the US Mexico border to free a temporary burst of water. This pulse flow allowed the Colorado River to reach the sea for the first time in 16 years, helping the river's delta come alive.
The dams built by the US government form a system of man made lakes. These lakes can store four times the river's yearly flow. “The lakes are like the river basin's bank accounts，” says Taylor Hawes. “They provide a place to save up water for not so rainy days—like right now.”
In wetter times, on and off since the 1960s, the Colorado River managed to complete its journey to the sea. During those rare times, spring floods temporarily brought life back to the delta. Seeing the difference a little water could make gave scientists the idea for this year's pulse flow.
“Just add water and you can get an amazing recovery，” says Eloise Kendy. “The project serves as a model of how to manage rivers sustainably (可持续地) for both people and nature. A lot of rivers in the West have problems. We used them to make the deserts bloom and build cities. We didn't think about the environment. But it's possible to restore them. If we can do it in the Colorado River Delta, we can do it anywhere.”
24．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A．The Gulf of California is flooding. B．The Colorado River's delta is dying.
C．The American Southwest is becoming poor. D．The water in the Colorado River is running out.
25．What does “bank accounts” mean in Paragraph 4
A．Lakes can store much of the river's water. B．Many banks provide money to build dams.
C．The money made from the lakes is kept in banks. D．People can borrow money from banks to buy lake water.
26．What does Eloise Kendy want to express
A．Restoring deserts is sustainable for nature. B．Many cities are built on deserts in the West.
C．Rivers in the West have been polluted seriously. D．Environmental protection must go with development.
27．What did the passage mainly talk about
A．An effort to protect the Colorado River from drying.
B．An experiment to make the Colorado River flow freely.
C．A project to bring the Colorado River Delta back to life.
D．A way to make full use of the water from the Colorado River.
C
Snow leopards (豹) are so hard to photograph that scientists aren't even sure how many of these endangered animals still live in the wild.
The Snow Leopard Conservancy (SLC) set up 20 cameras in Russia in 2010 to learn more about the big cats. After a full six months, they had exactly zero picture! That's when the organization understood they needed help. And the only people who could help them in finding the leopards were the very people from whom they wanted to protect the animals—local hunters (猎人)．
Hunting snow leopards is against the law in Russia, but in the terrible climate of Siberia, the few people living there had to turn to poaching (盗猎) to feed their families.
In 2013, Russian naturalist Sergei Spitsyn approached Mergen Markov, a local hunter, and told him his project. Markov agreed to set up the camera where he knew he would find leopards, and it worked.
Markov, once a poacher, works full time for the conservationists now and has 10 cameras monitoring leopards. “I visit each camera once a month. I have known this whole region since I was a child，” he said proudly.
The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) began working with other local villagers in 2015. The village would be paid 40，000 rubles at the end of the year if the image of a snow leopard is caught. WWF also rents horses from the villagers so that they do not need to make money by poaching anymore. “Today there are far fewer leopard poachers but leopards still get caught in traps set for other animals, so I have to stay watchful，” said Markov.
Changing guns for cameras has made a big difference in the lives of these former poachers, the village, and the Russian snow leopards. The number of snow leopards has been rising and their population is expected to recover to normal levels within 10 years.
28．Why was no picture of snow leopards taken in six months
A．SLC's 20 cameras failed to work properly.
B．The number of snow leopards in the wild was too small.
C．The local poachers destroyed these cameras on purpose.
D．The researchers knew little about the animal's living habits.
29．What did Sergei Spitsyn persuade Markov to do
A．Find the poachers. B．Repair cameras in the forest.
C．Catch more leopards. D．Work for SLC.
30．Why did the WWF begin working with local villagers
A．To get some pictures of snow leopards. B．To help villagers make a living.
C．To prevent villagers from hunting animals. D．To rent their horses at a low price.
31．How can we describe the WWF's cooperation with the villagers
A．Practice makes perfect. B．Curiosity kills the cat.
C．Kill two birds with one stone. D．Old habits die hard.
D
Something's happening at the lowest point on our planet, some 1，388 feet below the sea level.
The Dead Sea, a salt lake close to Israel, Jordan and the West Bank, is shrinking at an alarming rate—about 3.3 feet per year, according to the environmentalist group EcoPeace Middle East. And human actions are largely to blame.
“It's not just like one country is punishing the Dead Sea; it's more like the whole region，” said photographer Moritz Küstner, who visited the area in February to work on his series “The Dying Dead Sea”．
The Dead Sea needs water from the other natural sources surrounding it, such as the Jordan River basin. But around the 1960s, some of the water sources it relied upon were diverted.
Mineral extraction industries are another main reason why the water levels are declining, experts say. The Dead Sea's minerals have been popular for their medical power and can often be found in cosmetics (化妆品) and other consumer products.
And then, of course, there's the Middle East's hot, dry climate, which makes it difficult for the lake to refill itself.
Israel and Jordan have signed a $900 million deal in an effort to stabilize the Dead Sea's water levels.
It involves building a canal from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea so that both countries would be able to not only supply water to Israel and Jordan but also to pump much needed water—some 300 million cubic meters annually—into the Dead Sea.
“This is the most important and significant agreement since the peace treaty with Jordan (in 1994)，” said Silvan Shalom, Israel's energy and water resources minister at the time.
Whether the canal—estimated to take three years to complete—will work out positively and as planned remains to be seen.
32．Moritz Küstner visited the Dead Sea to ________．
A．shoot TV series about people's action there B．make a survey about the sea level
C．do his photographic series work D．research into environmental problems
33．Which of the following statements is NOT the reason for the water levels' declining
A．The other natural sources the Dead Sea relied on were switched.
B．The Dead Sea's minerals have been dug and used in some products.
C．The Middle East's climate makes the lake itself difficult to store water.
D．Israel and Jordan are the two countries to destroy the Dead Sea.
34．What measure has been taken to save the Dead Sea
A．Bringing in water from the Red Sea.
B．Introducing water from Israel and Jordan.
C．Taking Israel's energy and water resources.
D．Struggling for international support.
35．What does the passage mainly tell us
A．Why the Dead Sea is dying and the measures taken to save it.
B．How important the Dead Sea is in Israel, Jordan and the West Bank.
C．How to solve the problem that the Dead Sea is being destroyed.
D．Protecting the environment is in no hurry all over the world.

After graduation, Jason went to work in a big business. The schedule was very tight and he was so busy working, travelling from one place to another, that he was always on business for weeks without going to his mother's home. And this year, he hadn't seen his mother for months. Mother's Day was coming up, and he would have managed to go back home, but this year he was just too busy and too tired. One day when he was driving in a small town, he saw a flower shop. He said to himself, “I know what I will do. I'll send my mother some flowers.”
He stopped and went into the flower shop and saw a boy talking to a girl in it. “How many roses can I get for five dollars？” the boy asked. The girl was trying to explain that roses were expensive. Maybe the boy would be happy with something else.
“No, I have to have roses，” he said. “It has to be red roses, because my mum likes them best. It is Mother's Day. I want to get something special.” He was stubborn.
The girl in the shop looked at the boy and was just shaking her head. Something inside Jason was touched by the boy's voice. It seemed that he wanted to get those roses very much. Jason looked at the boy and said to the girl that he would pay for the boy's roses.
The girl looked at the boy and said, “Okay, I will give you a dozen red roses for your dollars.” The boy almost jumped into the air. He took the flowers and ran out. It was worth more than fifty dollars just to see that kind of excitement.
Jason ordered his own flowers and asked the girl to have them taken to his mother. After that, with relief (轻松), he drove down the road.

The original for you to read at the meeting and the two copies for the file.”

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。由于水坝控制水流，科罗拉多河河口三角洲已经变得干涸。最近一项计划使该河三角洲恢复生机，这一事件引发了人们对可持续发展的思考。
24．答案与解析：B'考查推理判断。通过文章的前两段，尤其是第二段中的“As a result...the delta (三角洲) at the river's mouth has become dry and poor”可知，由于没有了水的流入，科罗拉多河河口三角洲已经变得干涸和贫穷，故可推知此三角洲正在消失。故选B项。
25．答案与解析：A'考查细节理解。由第四段中的“These lakes can store four times the river's yearly flow. ‘The lakes are like the river basin's bank accounts...save up water for not so rainy days”可知，这些湖泊就像河流流域的“银行账户”一样可以存储大量的水。故选A项。
26．答案与解析：D　考查推理判断。由最后一段的内容，尤其是“The project serves as a model of how to manage rivers sustainably (可持续地) for both people and nature”可知，该项目为如何可持续地管理河流以使其同时服务于人与自然树立了榜样。由此可推知，发展(经济)的同时也要保护环境。故选D项。
27．答案与解析：C'考查主旨大意。由于水坝控制水流，科罗拉多河河口三角洲变得干涸。最近工程师开启堤坝，让三角洲恢复了生机。故C项“一个让科罗拉多河河口三角洲恢复生机的项目”符合题意。故选C项。

参考范文：
We can help protect the environment
Recent years, for various reasons, our living environment has been polluted worse and worse. Then as students, what can we do to protect our environment First of all, we should save energy, like turning off anything that uses electricity when it's not in use. Secondly, we should plant trees, which play an important role in making the air clean. Thirdly, we'd better recycle whatever we can. Lastly, we may as well walk or cycle to school, which won't cause air pollution. If we want to drink clean water and breathe clean air, now we must take action together to protect our living environment.

参考范文：
Not long after his driving, he saw the boy who got the flowers just now. Jason stopped his car and wanted to offer the boy a lift to his home. The boy thanked Jason but didn't speak for a while, and then he sighed, “I don't go home now. I am going to the place where my mum is.” Seeing Jason was a little puzzled, the boy continued in a sad voice, “She died months ago, leaving me alone. How regretful I am that I didn't stay with her enough when she was alive! I was always putting myself in the first place. And now, I want to be with her, but nowhere can I find her.”
Jason stood there in silence. The boy's words reminded him of his mother. He loved her so much, but he didn't see her for a long time. Thinking of that, he turned the car and drove quickly towards the flower shop. He asked the girl to give the flowers to him because he wanted to go to his mother's home right away. He couldn't wait to see her!
