Cities are taking steps to support wildlife populations and educate citizens about the importance of the environment. Here are four of the most wildlife-friendly cities in the United States.
Austin, Texas
Austin, the capital of Texas, earns the rank as the top city for wildlife in large part due to its work to help improve declining monarch butterfly populations. Austin sits within the main migration pattern of the monarch, which means that monarch butterflies pass through it twice annually. Austin also leads all US cities with 2,616 certified (经认证的)wildlife habitats.
Atlanta, Georgia
Atlanta secures the second-place ranking thanks to its Climate Action Plan, which aims to expand on the 3,000 acres of parks that the city already manages. Already classified by the US Forest Service as one of the most forested urban centers in the country, Atlanta also calls fbr planting more trees and creating more green spaces based on its climate plan. Six neighborhoods in Atlanta have been designated (指定)as Community Wildlife Habitats. Put together, these areas of vegetation can help reduce the urban heat island effect in the city.
Seattle, Washington
Seattle is home to 489 parks that span 6,441 acres, including 2,500 acres of forested public land. The city's largest park, Discovery Park, covers 534 acres and serves as an important protected area for birds and marine animals. Due to the amount of forested land in Seattle, the researchers use the city to study how urban environments can be designed to support wildlife. The Seattle Urban Project enlists the community to report wildlife sightings, which helps to demonstrate how and where flesh-eating mammals can coexist with humans.
Chula Vista, California
Chula Vista, a city in southern California, ranks high on the list due to its efforts to combat water use issues. The city's Nature Scape Program encourages citizens to replace lawns with gardens of native plants that attract pollinators (传粉昆虫)and conserve water. The city has also formed the CLEAN group, a partnership between the government, businesses and community groups designed to address environmental issues.
1.What is special about the city Austin, Texas
A.It manages the largest green spaces.
B.It owns the largest number of parks.
C.It can report the most wildlife sightings.

I was picking through coat pockets and madly shaking all my old purses and wallets. I was looking for pennies, quarters — anything that would help me make it to the end of the week. It sure was feeling heavy.
A hopeless girl in her twenties ,I was a single parent, with a one-year-old son and a five-year-old daughter.
Life consisted of ups and downs. One year, I was having baby showers and taking vacations in the mountains of Tennessee. The next, I was searching around my small, two-bedroom apartment collecting loose change to buy food and gas. Suddenly, I found myself becoming poor, and it was hard.
I'll never forget the joy of finding one penny during my hunt, then two, then fifteen, and then twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six. Every time I found one, I felt excited. Looking back now, I see that it was somewhat ironic (讽刺的) because I had looked down on pennies at one point in my life.
I sat in my bedroom that night and sorted all the change from my hour-long quest. I smiled and made jokes with my daughter while we packed our pennies. Her brother joyfully bounced up and down in his bouncer. They had no idea how many nights I would cry with my face buried in the pillows, wondering how I would keep a roof over their heads, lights on in the house, and food on the table.
I remember those days like they were yesterday, but I don't remember them with sadness. I remember them intentionally because I promised myself that if I were ever to escape the pains of poverty, I would never forget the value of a penny.
I've kept that promise, too.

A.To look for money to pay for their expense.
B.To purchase something for her children.
C.To make money at the end of the week.
D.To put them into her coat pockets.
2.What do we know about the author

3.What is the author's promise
A.To help others little by little. B.To find great value in little things.
C.To bring happiness to her children. D.To forget the sad days intentionally.
4.What does this text want to convey
A.It's no use crying over spilt milk.
B.We should repair the house before it rains.
C.Each family has its own happiness and unhappiness.
D.One penny is the small seed from which fortunes spring.

Brown rice is a tough sale when offered next to white. Despite the fact that brown rice is healthier, people prefer white rice because they think it just tastes better, just like folks opt for white bread instead of whole wheat. White rice and brown rice begin as the same thing-they come from the same grain, after all. But white rice is different from brown rice in terms of processing.
When rice is first harvested, it is washed, and the outer covering is removed from the grains. At this point, what you're left with is brown rice. It still has several thin layers of bran coating the grain. To get white rice from that grain, it also has to be milled and polished down, removing the bran. That is why brown rice is a whole grain. It contains all parts of the grain, including the fibrous bran, the nutritious germ and endosperm. White rice has had the bran, the germ, much of the fiber, vitamins and other nutrients removed.
One cup of cooked brown rice contains 4 g of fiber and 5 g of protein, while one cup of cooked white rice contains only 1 g of fiber and 4 g of protein. But fiber isn't the only benefit of brown rice, Studies have found that it can reduce the risk of diabetes.
One of the reasons white rice has soared in popularity is that it's easier to cook. Not only does it take less time because the fibrous bran has been removed, but it turns out with a soft, delicious result more often than not. What makes brown rice so hard to prepare is the fact that you have to cook it long enough to soften the bran, but not so long that the inner grain turns mushy. This is tricky, but it's not impossible. There are many foolproof methods you can use. One is to get a rice cooker, but if you're not up for another appliance on your kitchen counter, there are other options.
1.How does the author lead in the topic of the text
A.By making a comparison. B.By quoting a proverb.
C.By using imagination. D.By listing data.
2.Which of the following is a difference between white rice and brown rice
A.White rice is thicker. B.Brown rice has better taste.
C.Brown rice is less processed. D.White rice contains more vitamins.
3.What makes white rice easier to cook compared to brown rice
A.Having no bran. B.Containing more fiber.
C.Having no endosperm. D.Containing more protein.
4.What is the author's attitude to eating brown rice
A.Doubtful. B.Supportive. C.Tolerant. D.Curious.
D
Researchers from The University of Queensland(UQ) have helped design a new app to protect birds at risk of extinction across the world by eliminating language barriers among scientists. The Bird Language Diversity web app will help provide a "birds eye view", ensuring vital information is shared to improve worldwide conservation.
UQ's Dr Pablo Negret said the research team analysed more than 10,000 bird species, and found that 1,587 species have 10 languages or more spoken within their distributions. "Scientific information on species can be spread across different languages, but valuable information can go missing or get lost in translation," Dr Negret said. "Without enough sharing of information, this can affect the effectiveness of conservation measures."
Take the common bird Pochard for example. It is classified as vulnerable species(易危种)and crosses 108 countries in Europe, Asia and north Africa, where a total of 75 official languages are spoken. The survival of the common Pochard, and so many other species, depends on effective cooperation and policy agreements among people with diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds.
This app reveals where threatened and migratory birds exist geographically, in relation to the language spoken in those regions. "We hope the app will encourage researchers and conservation organisations to interact with their peers in other regions, especially if they speak different languages, and be a starting point to allow everyone to work together to protect threatened species." Dr Negret said.
Dr Tatsuya Amano, a researcher and the co-author of the paper, said this work could extend further than bird species. "Any species, whether they're mammals, amphibians(两栖动物), or plants, with a range crossing multiple countries will be impacted by language barriers, as well as species that migrate across different countries, such as marine species and butterflies," he said, "The significance of the impact of poor communication on such an important issue is evident, and is the reason why we're working hard to improve science communication across languages."
1.What does the underlined word "eliminating" in paragraph 1 mean
A.Giving in to. B.Coming across. C.Putting up with. D.Breaking down.
2.What is the function of adequate sharing of information
A.Ensuring the effectiveness of protective measures.
B.Helping people know more about scientists' efforts.
C.Spreading knowledge of the diversity of birds worldwide.
D.Compromising the effectiveness of conservation measures.
3.What is shown on the app
A.The producer of the app. B.The organizations involved.
C.The location of endangered birds. D.The information of new geographers.
4.What can be the best title for the text
A.Birds Protection Is an Urgency
B.A New Bird App Spreads Its Wings
C.A New Bird App Helps Learn Languages
D.Poor Communication Impacts Cooperation

As Papa spoke, in came Mamma, looking very cold, rather sad, and very much excited. "Not far away from here, lies a poor woman with a little newborn baby. Six children are huddled(挤在一起)into one bed to keep from freezing, for they have no fire. There is nothing to eat over there, and the oldest boy came here to tell me they were starving on this bitterly cold day. My little girls, will you give them your breakfast, as a New Year's gift "
We sat silent a minute and looked at the nice, hot porridge(粥), creamy milk, and good bread and butter; for we were brought up like English children, and never drank tea or coffee, or ate anything but porridge for our breakfast.
"I wish we'd eaten it up," thought I. for I was rather a selfish child, and very hungry.
"May I go and help carry it to the poor, little children " asked Beth, who had the tende rest heart that ever beat under a spendy apron.
"I can carry that little pot," said little May, proudly giving the thing she loved best.
"And I shall take all the porridge, " I burst in, heartily ashamed of my first feeling.
"You shall put on your things and help me, and when we come back, we'll get something to eat," said Mother, beginning to pile the bread and butter into a big basket.

第二节
答案:①mountains ②usually ③to advance ④On/During ⑤making ⑥a ⑦was listed ⑧who/that ⑨impressive ⑩their
解析:①考查名词复数。句意:在中国西南部责州省隆利县的深山中,龙山乡的一个草根剧团正在表演太平灯戏。mountain意为"山",为可数名词,此处应用复数形式表示泛指。故填mountains。
②考查副词。句意:他们通常在田里忙碌,只有在农活结束后才聚在一起,提高他们的表演水平,并将古老的艺术传授给年轻的一代。修饰形容词busy应用副词usually表示"通常"作状语。故填usually。
③考查动词不定式。句意:他们通常在田里忙碌,只有在农活结束后才聚在一起,提高他们的表演水平,并将古老的艺术传授给年轻的一代。根据"get together"和"their performance and teach the ancient art to younger generations"可知,此处是指聚在一起是为了提高他们的表演水平并将古老的艺术传授给年轻的一代,所以应用to do不定式作目的状语。故填to advance。
④考查介词。句意:每逢节假日,他们到附近村庄为村民表演,使文化生活多姿多彩。根据"they visit nearby villages to perform for villagers"可知,此处是指在节假日,所以应用介词on或during。句首首字母应大写。故填On/During。
⑤考查现在分词。句意:每逢节假日,他们到附近村庄为村民表演,使文化生活多姿多彩。根据"they visit nearby villages to perform for villagers"和"cultural lives colorful"可知,此处是指意料之中的结果,所以应用现在分词作结果状语,故填making。
⑥考查冠词。句意:剧团成员总是受到当地人的热烈欢迎。welcome意为"欢迎",为可数名词,此处为第一次出现,所以应用不定冠词表示泛指,warm发音以辅音音素开头,需用不定冠词a。故填a。
⑦考查一般过去时的被动语态和主谓一致。句意:它是贵州隆利县的一种传统地方戏曲,于2019年被列为省级非物质文化遗产,根据"in2019"可知,此处应用一般过去时。动词list意为"把……列入名单",和主语构成被动关系。主语it为第三人称单数。故填was listed。
⑧考查定语从句。句意:独特的戏曲深深吸引了所有村民和来自海内外的游客,在定语从句中缺少主语,且先行词为visitors,所以应用关系代词who或that,故填who/that。
⑨考查形容词。句意:表演者画着令人印象深刻的脸谱,身穿古装,以其优美的唱腔、精湛的表演和真实的风格深受观众喜爱。修饰face masks应用形容词impressive表示"令人印象深刻的"作定语。故填impressive。
⑩考查代词。句意:表演者画着令人印象深刻的脸谱,身穿古装,以其优美的唱腔、精湛的表演和真实的风格深受观众喜爱。根据"graceful singing, superb performance and authentic style"可知,此处是指表演者们的优美的唱腔、精湛的表演和真实的风格,所以应用形容词性物主代词their表示"他们的"。故填their。
第三部分 写作
第一节
答案:
A Meaningful Activity
To let us students understand the value of labor, a tree-planting activity was held in Tianshan Park last Saturday.
Arriving at the park, we began to work. Some students dug holes, some put the bottom of the trees in the hole, some watered the trees and some tied the trees on small sticks. With our joint effort, the park looked greener and more beautiful.
Through this activity, not only did we learn how to plant trees, but got much closer to the nature. Every participant expects another one next year.
第二节
答案:
We were soon ready and set out. Mother led the way, carrying the basket of bread and butter, while we followed with our breakfast. I walked behind, feeling ashamed for my selfish thoughts earlier. Arriving at the poor woman's home, we're met with six children huddled together in one bed. Mother quickly set to work, warming the porridge on the stove while Beth and May helped to give away the bread and butter. I watched as they eagerly ate the food, their eyes shining with gratitude.
As we made our way back home, I felt a sense of warmth in my heart. From that day forward, I knew that I would always try hard to help those in need, no matter how small the gesture is. And as we sat down to our own breakfast that day, I felt truly grateful for all that we had, and for the opportunity to give to those who had so little. Giving was far more important than taking, which made the biggest difference in people's lives.
