Ms Yuting Zhou is an early-career environmental advisor working on industrial wastewater pollution management, In her work, she’s learning about an important type of environmental pollution, and finding ways to help companies manage water resources better.
When we asked Yuting how old she was when she got interested in environmental problems, we were surprised by her response. “I must have been about six years old. I used to watch an American TV series about an environmentalist Superhero named Captain Planet.”
There is one serious pollution event somewhere in the world. The concern about environmental issues deeply influenced Yuting. But how does one prepare to be a “Superwoman” For Yuting, it came down to a reflection on what she might be good at — in her case, the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) subjects-and making considered choices in her education.
She began to study environmental engineering, and found a passion for the subject. “During my graduate studies.” I researched different kinds of health effects.
While she developed valuable skills that would help her in her career, she also learnt more about herself and her role in the world. “I learnt that science requires a scientific proof through repeated and sometimes long processes. Although I completed and published my research in a top academic journal, I realized that I’m not fit for laboratory work. I needed more interaction with people, and to solve real-life problems.”
Within three days of graduating, Yuting was on a plane heading to Kenya. She was excited about working for the United Nations because there were people from various industries and backgrounds gathering to improve the environment and create a more sustainable (可持续的) future — a lot like the setting of Caprain Planet which brought light to her in the first place.

Several years ago, Jason Box, a scientist from Ohio, flew 31 giant rolls of white plastic to a glacier (冰川) in Greenland. He and his team spread them across 10,000 feet of ice, and then left. His idea was that the white blanket would reflect back the rays of the sun, keeping the ice cool below. When he came back to check the results, he found it worked. Exposed ice had melted faster than covered ice. He had not only saved two feet of glacier in a short time. No coal plants (煤炭工厂) were shut down, no jobs were lost, and nobody was taxed or fired. Just the sort of fix we’re looking for.
“Thank you, but no thank you.” says Ralph King, a climate scientist. He told Grey Childs, author and commentator, that people think technology can save the planet, “but there are other things we need to deal with, like consumption (消费). They burned $50,000 just for the helicopter to bring the plastic to the glacier. ”This experiment gives people false hope that climate change can be fixed (解决,处理) without changing human behavior. . It can’t. Technology won’t give us a free ride (搭便车).
Individuals respond to climate change differently. Climatologist Kelly Smith is hardly alone in her prediction that someday soon we won’t be climate victims; we will be climate choosers. More scientists agree with her that if the human race survives, the engineers will get smarter, the tools will get better, and one day we will control the climate. But what then "Just the mention of us controlling the climate sent a small shiver (颤抖) down my back”, Grey Childs writes, “Something sounds wrong about it.”
Me I like it better when the earth takes care of itself. I guess one day we will have to run the place, but for the moment, sitting at my desk. looking out at the trees bending wildly and the wind howling. I’m happy not to be in charge.
8.What does Ralph King think of Jason Box’s experiment
A.It’s a possible solution to climate change.
B.It’s a misleading attempt to fix the climate.
C.It’s a successful experiment on saving the glacier.
D.It arouses people’s attention to the problem of global warming.
9.Which statement would Kelly Smith most probably agree with
A.The fight against climate change will not succeed.
B.Humans will succeed in controlling climate in the future.
C.Technology is not the final solution, let alone its high cost.
D.Jason’s experiment plays a significant role in fixing climate change.
10.What is Grey Childs’s attitude to human’s controlling the climate
A.Supportive. B.Tolerant (容忍的).
C.Sceptical (怀疑的). D.Unclear.
11.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A.Should we fix the climate with technology B.Is climate change a threatening problem
C.Why is the earth climate getting worse D.What if all the glaciers disappeared
D
Have you been exercising and eating clean, but when you step on the scale, it says you’ve gained a few pounds “That’s normal, and it doesn’t mean that your workouts are not effective,” says Jeffrey A.Dolgan, an exercise physiologist in Miami Beach, Florida.
“A person’s scale mass is a combination of muscle, fat, bone, blood, and even the air that we carry in our lungs,” he says. “Immediately after a workout routine, the percentage of mass in each body part can shift as much as 15 percent.” So if you’re gaining weight while working out and eating healthy, it’s probably not the type of weight gain that you think it is.
The scale can’t tell you how much of your body weight is muscle or fat, which means if your goal is to improve your fitness level, the scale is not the best tool for measuring improvements. When you start to change your body composition with your workouts — by building more muscle mass and decreasing your body fat — your scale weight may increase, while your body fat percentage may decrease. These changes happen over weeks and months (not hours or days) so the scale is useless when tracking them.
You may argue that you weigh a few pounds less after a high intensity (强度) training class. Don’t get too excited — it’s just water loss due to sweat. Water makes up approximately 65 to 90 percent of a person’s weight, and variation in water content of the human body can move the scale by ten pounds or more from day to day.
So ignore the scale and pay more attention to objective measurement tools like body Lhs composition. Keep in mind that if you’re exercising but gaining weight, you may actually look slimmer.
12.What can we know from Dolgan’s words
A.Your weight changes little during a day.
B.Your scale mass is affected by many factors.
C.Your workout is not effective if you gain weight.
D.Your weight is determined only by muscle and fat.
13.What will most probably happen after you exercise and eat healthy for 3 months
A.You will weigh less.
B.Your muscle mass will decrease.
C.Your body fat will increase.
D.Your body composition will change.
14.How much water may a man weighing 150 pounds have in his body
A.30 pounds. B.60 pounds. C.100 pounds. D.140 pounds.
15.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A.Why do we gain weight
B.How to work out effectively
C.What is the composition of our body
D.Why does my workout cause weight gain

Wherever we go, we are surrounded by history. Across the globe, cultural heritage (遗产) is passed down through the generations. Yet, we fight a never-ending and very expensive war to preserve it for the future. And today, it is under attack as never before. Technology is often seen as something that destroys the past. 16 .
Creating copies via 2D images is extremely laborious and time-consuming. AI technologies are being used to do all the required sourcing, allowing lots of images to be cross-referenced and stored in hours. 17 . AI will also make the restoration and preservation of existing cultural heritage far easier and is vastly superior to previous methods.
Airborne technology (机载技术) is being increasingly used in the fight to preserve our cultural heritage. 18
LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) has already been used to reveal over 60, 000 Mayan structures that were lying undiscovered in the jungles of Guatemala, without needing a single boot on the ground. Drones (无人机) are also being used to document and monitor huge areas and remove the need for all that costly manpower.
Human interaction with the most important sites and architecture is doing a great deal of harm. Virtual Reality (VR) technology will play a leading role in preserving our cultural heritage in the coming years. 19 , VR technology will gradually become the way that people experience them. We’ll all eventually be able to walk through places, look at (and touch!) artifacts and works of art without ever seeing them with our own eyes.
20 . Efforts in research, data sharing and project work will need to be pooled internationally. Using the technical expertise of specialist organizations will become ever more important to the sustainable promoting and preserving of the cultural heritage of countries all across the world.
A.It is being used to save and find it
B.Technology has shaped conflict in several ways
C.But it is now the most essential weapon in the battle
D.Our cultural heritage will be protected via technology
E.This will enable even better and more accurate copies to be created
F.As more cultural heritage sites and objects are digitally mapped and recorded
G.When it measures distances by hitting a target and analyzing the reflected light

I fell in love with Yosemite National Park the first time I saw it, when I was 13. My parents took us there for camping. On the way out, I asked them to wait while I ran up to E1 Capitan, a huge rock of 3,300 feet straight up. I touched that giant rock and knew 21 I wanted to climb it. That has been my life’s passion ever since — 22 the rocks and mountains of Yosemite. I’ve long made Yosemite my 23 .
About 15 years ago I started seeing a lot of 24 , like toilet paper, beer cans, and empty boxes, around the area. It’s 25 me why visitors started respecting the place 26 and treated such a beautiful home-like place this way.
I tried 27 trash (垃圾) myself, but the job was too big. I would spend an hour or two on the job, only to find the area trashed all over again weeks later. Finally, I got so 28 it that I decided something had to change.
As a rock-climbing guide, I knew 29 about organizing any big event. But in 2004, together with some climbers, I set a date for a cleanup. On that day, more than 300 people showed up. Over three days we collected about 6,000 pounds of trash. It was amazing how much we were able to 30 . I couldn’t believe the 31 we made — the park looked clean!
Each year volunteers come for the cleanup from everywhere. In 2007 alone, 2,945 people picked up 42,330 pounds of trash and 32 132 miles of roadway.
I often hear people 33 about their surroundings. If you are one of them, I would say the only way to change things is by doing rather than complaining. We need to teach by 34 . You can’t blame others 35 you start with yourself.

For my fifth-grade science fair project, I got six chicken eggs in an incubator(孵化器).
“But I don’t know anything about hatching an egg.”
Mrs. Brubeck smiled. “You don’t have to be an immediate expert at everything, Juli. The idea here is to learn something new.”
“But what if they die ”
“Then they die. Document your work scientifically and you’ll still get an A.” She pulled The Beginner’s Guide to Raising Chickens from her bookshelf and said, “Read the book and set yourself up tonight.”
That night I came home, more worried than ever. I’d read the book. I had to turn the eggs three times a day and regulate the temperature and humidity(湿度). But aside from that, what was there to do
My father came with a cardboard tube and a flashlight. He taped the two together so that the light beam was forced straight out the tube. “I will show you how to candle the eggs,” he said, then switched off the light and held an egg up to the cardboard tube. “The light lets you see through the shell so you can watch the embryo(胚胎) develop. Look, see the dark spot here ”
“Is that an embryo ”
“That’s it!”
Suddenly it felt real. The eggs were alive! Surely they had to live!
For the next three weeks, I was completely consumed with the growing of chicks. I labeled the eggs A, B, C, D, E and F, but before long they had names, too: Abby, Bonnie, Clyde, Dexter, Eunice and Florence. Every day I weighed them, candled them, turned them. I drew diagrams of various stages of an embryo’s development. I documented the daily changes and weight loss of each egg. On the outside the eggs were boring, but I knew what was happening inside!
注意:1.写作词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then one morning I was candling Bonnie when I noticed a gentle peck(啄).

36.考查副词。句意:胡指着一只野鸟,低声说话,孩子们仔细地听着。此处是副词修饰谓语动词were listening,所给词careful是形容词,其副词是carefully。故填carefully。
37.考查一般过去去时。句意:他在五年前成立了一个组织,为12岁以下的儿童提供几个基于自然的项目。根据时间状语five years ago可知,此处用一般过去时。故填founded。

44.考查非限制性定语从句。句意:近年来,在自然保护区、森林公园、湿地公园、地质公园等丰富的自然资源的滋养下,中国的自然教育得到了很大的发展。此处nature education是先行词,指物,关系词在后面的非限制性定语从句中作主语。故填which。
45.考查状语从句的省略。句意:如果给予更有效的保护,大自然对我们是慷慨的,不要忘记我们都属于大自然。句子主语Nature和动词give之间是被动关系,这里是if引导的条件状语从句的省略,省略了相同的主语和be动词,所以if后跟过去分词作状语。故填given。

47.One possible version
Then one morning I was candling Bonnie when I noticed a gentle peck (啄). Was it coming out I called my parents and the three of us crowded around, watching Bonnie pip. His little beak cracked through, and while I held my breath and waited, he rested. And rested. Finally its beak poked through again. After what seemed a long time, Bonnie broke out of the shell first. Then came the others. They were wet, weak and ugly at first sight, but soon they became fluffy. It was absolutely amazing.
The day came when I was supposed to hand in my science fair project. I packed up all my chickens, documents and charts and got a ride to school. These beautiful little things caught immediate attention. “You’ve got six alive! The record is three!” Mrs. Brubeck was quite impressed. The whole class stuck around for a whole morning, asking various questions. I shared with them the process as well as the joy of witnessing a new life coming into this world. What an experience! (150 words)
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的科学展览项目孵化鸡蛋实验。对于自己的“孵蛋”有点担心,阅读了老师给的关于孵蛋的书籍,跟着书里的方法做。爸爸帮忙制作的电子灯管可以让作者看到鸡蛋里的胚胎,这让作者感到很神奇。于是作者开始认真对待这些蛋,起名字,做记录。终于小鸡孵化出来了,作者很兴奋。当作者将这些成果一并带到学校里时,老师和同学们都很激动。这对于作者来说是一次很特别的经历。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Then one morning I was candling Bonnie when I noticed a gentle peck. (一天早上,我在给Bonnie做烛光检查时,注意到“他”轻轻地啄了一下。)”可知,第一段可描写小鸡一只一只的孵化出来的过程,以及作者的感受。
②由第二段首句内容“The day came when I was supposed to hand in my science fair project.(我应该交科学展览项目的那一天终于到来了。)”可知,第二段可描写作者带着孵化成果到校后老师的反应,同学们的反应。
2.续写线索:第一只小鸡Bonnie要孵化——作者和家人围在一旁焦急等待——Bonnie缓慢孵化的过程——小鸡孵化出生后的状态——作者带着孵化成果去学校——老师的称赞——同学们的好奇——作者对于这次经历的感受
