体裁:记叙文 题材:自然灾害
The wildfires damaging parts of Australia can be seen from space in new satellite images released by NASA. Australia’s capital, Canberra, was enveloped in a smoky haze and the air quality at midday was measured at 10 times the usual dangerous limit. The damaging fires have killed at least 24 people in Australia and destroyed almost 2,000 homes. The early start of Australia’s summer wildfires, fed by drought and the country’s hottest and driest year on record, has also been catastrophic (灾难性的) for the country’s wildlife, likely killing nearly 500 million birds, reptiles and mammals in New South Wales alone, Sydney University ecologist Chris Dickman told The Sydney Morning Herald.

Under such extreme conditions, the fires have been generating enough heat to create their own weather systems, including fire generated thunderstorms and fire tornadoes. Thousands of firefighters continued to fight the flames that have burnt millions of acres in New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia, an area twice the size of Maryland. In New South Wales, the Rural Fire Service said as of Sunday there were 150 fires active in the state, 64 of them uncontrolled.
On Saturday, Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced that, for the first time in Australian history, 3,000 army, navy and air force reservists (预备役军人) will battle against the fires. He also committed $14 million to hiring fire fighting aircraft from overseas. On Sunday, cooler temperatures and lighter winds brought some relief to threatened communities, a day after thousands of people were forced to escape as flames reached the suburban areas of Sydney. Thousands of firefighters fought to contain the fires, but many fires continued to burn out of control, threatening to wipe out rural townships and causing almost incalculable damage to property and wildlife.

体裁:说明文 题材:环境与自然
During most time of the 1930s, the Great Plains region was destroyed by drought and high winds. Howling across the Great Plains, these winds swept up the soil of the over farmed land and created serious sandstorms of dust. These black sandstorms were so thick that daylight seemed more like dusk. Year after year having passed without rain, the winds continued to blow, and the dust swirled endlessly. During this terrible period, the region came to be called the Dust Bowl.
But the causes of the sandstorms weren’t just drought and winds. In a strange way, patriotism (爱国主义) was partly to blame. During World War I, the US government encouraged farmers to support the war by planting more wheat. As farmers increased their production, their own profits increased. Following the invention of the farm tractor, farmers plowed up thousands of acres of grassland and planted wheat. Wheat production rose fast, but nature soon turned success into disaster.

When the drought began, farmers didn’t realize that, by plowing up the grassland, they had destroyed the land’s natural protection against soil erosion (侵蚀). As the drought continued, one powerful windstorm after another blew across the Great Plains. Crops dried up and were blown away.
Nothing grew for years. Eventually most of the rich topsoil (表土层) was blown away. As years passed, all the moisture (水分) in the ground disappeared, leaving even the deep roots of trees in dust.
The Great Plains became a deserted place, as thousands of people fled to California to escape the dust and look for work. Most found only low paying agricultural jobs. But there were those who refused to leave. For these farmers, a programme encouraged them to make use of new ways that would protect the precious topsoil from eroding. But bringing the soil back to life took time, and the farmers still needed rain. Rain meant more to the farmers than it ever had before. It meant a future.

A.The land was over farmed.

2.What does the underlined phrase “plowed up” in the second paragraph mean

C.Broke down. D.Gave out.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了20世纪30年代,美国大平原地区由于过度开垦而产生了一系列环境问题,使得这片曾经的沃土沦为一片荒地。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的... these winds swept up the soil of the over farmed land and created serious sandstorms of dust... called the Dust Bowl.可知,过度开垦使大风卷走了土壤,形成了严重的沙尘暴,把大平原变成了“灰碗”,故选A项。
2.B 词义猜测题。根据画线部分前的Following the invention of the farm tractor及画线部分后的planted wheat可知,随着农用拖拉机的发明,农民开垦了数千英亩的草地,种上了小麦,由此可知画线短语是指“开垦”,故选B项。

Like all big cities, Paris has traffic problems: lots of cars, lots of traffic jams and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes (废气). So the city began a scheme (计划) to improve the situation.
Under the Velib scheme (“Velib” comes from vélo liberté, or “bicycle freedom”) people can take a bicycle, use it for as long as they want, and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station. The first half hour on the bike is free, but if you don’t return it after 30 minutes, you have to pay. But it’s only ?1 a day or ?29 a year! The bicycles are heavy (25 kg), and they are all grey and have baskets. There are about 20,000 of them in the city, and around 1,450 bicycle stations. So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations!

Paris is not the first city to have a scheme like this. But not everybody thinks it’s a great idea. One Parisian said, “These bicycles are only for short journeys. If people want to travel across the city, they won’t use a bicycle—they’ll still use their cars.”
A city spokesman said, “The bicycle scheme won’t solve all our traffic problems, of course. But it might help reduce air pollution. Traffic, together with factory fumes, is a big problem. There aren’t any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities. But unless we do something now, there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise, so the problems in our environment will get worse. The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life, too.”

[安徽宣城2022高一期末]Rivers are very important. Humans rely on them for food and water. But rivers can destroy things, too. They can flood, or rise over their banks, making the water run into the nearby land. Floods can also kill humans and wildlife. However, floods are not always bad. Some ecosystems need them every once in a while.
Flooding can not only drown animals but also destroy habitats. For example, a flood in India in 2012 killed many one horned rhinos. Floodwaters can pick up dirt from riverbanks, which makes the water dirty. Too much dirt will clog rivers and streams, preventing the river from flowing. Sometimes floodwaters can carry pollution to the sea and harm marine life. In addition, floodwaters can carry disease, including hepatitis A and cholera.
Part Ⅰ Vocabulary & Grammar
刷阅读理解
However, not everything about floods is bad. Sometimes they bring new life to ecosystems. Floodwaters carry nutrients to the nearby land. Over time, the water dries up and leaves behind particles (微粒) of dirt and mud. The particles are called sediment (沉淀物) which can be good due to its ability to improve the dirt and help plants grow. Floods are important to some animals as well. For instance, some animals see floods as a sign that it is time to mate or migrate. Floods leave sediment on river beds where baby fish can grow and carry nutrients for small animals in the water to eat. Moreover, in dry seasons, water might dry up, but floods help refill the wetlands, keeping the ecosystem going.
Floods are a part of nature. They can destroy living things and the environment. But some ecosystems need floods to survive.

体裁:记叙文 题材:人物故事
School had just started in August when Conner began throwing up for no reason. It wasn’t long before the boy also began suffering from terrible headaches. In February a 1.7 inch tumour was found in his brain and Conner was set to receive radiation treatments (放射疗法). Before treatments start, technicians make a white plastic mask to keep patients immovable and protect unaffected parts of the brain while radiation is directed at the tumour.
It’s an unpleasant experience and a frightening time. The doctor Cook decided that the masks could at least be made to look like something fun—maybe Batman or Mickey Mouse. “I started thinking these masks are white and not fun at all for kids,” she told The Greenville News. “I felt if we could make the masks a little more fun for them, they might be a little more excited about coming in for treatments. Because the kids are afraid, while the treatment itself isn’t physically painful, it can cause a lot of anxiety. And the treatment is required daily for up to six weeks.”

And the masks really make a difference. “The kids really like them,” Cook said. “It makes what is, let’s face it, a terrible experience, a nice one because they get to choose something themselves.”
When new children come in for the treatment, Cook finds out what their favourite movies or cartoon characters are. Then she sets about creating the mask by drawing the image she wants onto paper, sticking it with glue, and once it’s dry, she applies the colours using paints. Each child can take the mask home once the treatment ends.
“Going to the doctor always means fear and pain. I want to make it fun,” she said. “The kids really love it. It’s something they enjoy and can relate to. And it fills an interest I have. I get great pleasure from it.”

Gretchen Altman is smiling, leaning back casually, a cup of coffee in hand—Hills Bros. Coffee, to be precise.It looks like a casual shot, but if you hit like, leave a comment, and tag a friend, you can get three different cups of coffee, for free.
Altman is part of a growing trend of “micro influencers”. She has a small following—around 6,000 on Instagram. She charges $300 to $800 to promote something. She does some posts in exchange for free goods, as long as their stuff she believes in.
As a micro influencer she has a much closer relationship with her followers than a big social media star. “I’m just living a normal life and people relate to that,” she says. “They just feel like I’m a friend of theirs.”
But it worries consumer rights groups. Several recent studies have found that young audiences are largely unable to understand when something is sponsored content.

In some cases, it’s clear. When a big star takes to social media to advertise Coca Cola, for example, the assumption is that he or she is probably getting paid to do so. And the posts are clearly labelled as ads, with the caption “advertisement” or “sponsored content”.
But what happens when an ordinary person with just several thousand followers takes to social media to praise the virtues of a product The motivations are not so definite. The problem with these social media posts is that you don’t know whether it’s an ad or not.
Altman is diligent in using those hashtags. She loves what she does and sees it as a business, but she doesn’t necessarily want to be a social media celebrity.

A
体裁:记叙文 题材:人物故事
[四川雅安中学2021高二月考]Jon Pedley is making a big change. He is giving up his life as a successful businessman for a life of helping others. He is trading his beautiful farmhouse in England for life in a mud hut in Uganda, East Africa.
Pedley admits that he has not always led a very positive life. At times he drank too much and got in trouble with the law. “I’ve always put the pursuit (追求) of money in front of everything else. As long as I was all right, I didn’t care who I was hurting,” says Pedley.
But a visit to Uganda in 2007 gave Pedley a new outlook (观点) on life. He was amazed at what he saw and how much the people there appreciated the work he was doing. “I worked there for a few days and these people who have nothing thanked me by giving me bags of potatoes, which are a fortune for them,” he said.

Exercise 1 刷阅读理解
Now Pedley is selling his business, his $1.5 million farmhouse, and his expensive car—and moving into a hut made of mud and boards in a small Ugandan village. There he will help run an organization that hopes to improve the quality of life for people in the village of Kigazi. He will help to build schoolrooms for children and tanks to hold clean water for villagers. Today, people in Kigazi must walk two miles to a hospital, so Pedley will help to build doctors’ offices, too.
Pedley’s organization will also work with English teenagers who are in trouble. The teens will be sent to a “camp” in Uganda that Pedley will run. The teens will live in mud huts and help to build water, health and education facilities (设备) for kids in Kigazi, many of whom have lost their parents due to poverty or disease. Pedley hopes the teens will see a side of life that might help them turn around their own lives and set them on a new and more positive path.

体裁:说明文 题材:社会公益
[全国新高考Ⅰ2022]The elderly residents (居民) in care homes in London are being given hens to look after to stop them feeling lonely.
The project was dreamed up by a local charity (慈善组织) to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people’s wellbeing. It is also being used to help patients suffering dementia, a serious illness of the mind. Staff in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use.
Among those taking part in the project is 80 year old Ruth Xavier. She said: “I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school.
“I like the project a lot. I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out and down there again at night to see they’ve gone to bed.

“It’s good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them. I’m enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful.”
There are now 700 elderly people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the North East, and the charity has been given financial support to roll it out countrywide.
Wendy Wilson, extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first to embark on the project, said: “Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here.”
Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said: “We are happy to be taking part in the project. It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities.”
