(2023山西长治名校联盟联考)
Next to a tall building, the Muziekplein forest is one of seven such special and very small forests in the Dutch city of Utrecht, and 144 tiny forests across the Netherlands. It’s about the size of a basketball court. Before it was planted, the area was a parking lot.
By the end of this year, according to IVN Nature Education, an organization leading the country’s plan, there will be 200 such small forests in the Netherlands. In many other countries, communities are creating such small area and native forests in response to big environmental challenges. The forests can be in any shape, but must be at least four meters wide based on IVN’s instructions. A tiny forest can be built under a year. And it generally includes between 20 and 40 different tree species.
Since the first forest was planted in the Netherlands in 2015, the idea has become popular. Daan Bleichrodt launched IVN’s Tiny Forest plan with the goal of making it easier for children to know the significance of protecting environment. He thinks it is popular because people are becoming more and more aware of major environmental challenges. It’s a very practical way for people to do something positive considering climate change and loss of biodiversity.
Data released by Wageningen University researchers in April shows that the forests hold a range of animal and plant species. Across the 11 tiny forests in a study, volunteers observed 636 animal species. They also recognized 298 plant species in addition to the original species planted in the areas. Daily maintenance of the forests sometimes involves obliterating unwanted weeds, but in general, new plant species, such as wildflowers, are allowed to grow, according to Bleichrodt.
Suzanne Valkman, head of the World Wildlife Fund(WWF) Netherlands forests unit, said, “I was just amazed to see so many species were recognized.” A WWF report in 2020 found that wildlife populations in the Netherlands had decreased by half over the last three decades. Butterflies, birds and reptile species were particularly hard hit. Valkman said, “The Tiny Forest data shows that the small project can improve biodiversity in cities.”
1.What is the feature of the Muziekplein forest
A.It has a small size.
B.It includes only rare species.
C.It has an interesting shape.
D.It is beside a parking lot.
2.What’s the purpose of creating tiny forests in the Dutch city
A.To make a great profit.
B.To raise the awareness of kids’ education.
C.To set an example to other countries.
D.To help improve the local environment.
3.What does the underlined word “obliterating” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A.Checking. B.Protecting.
C.Removing. D.Discovering.
4.Why did the author mention Suzanne Valkman’s words
A.To describe the situation of wildlife species.
B.To show the effects of the Tiny Forest plan.
C.To explain the importance of biodiversity.
D.To encourage all of us to plant more trees.

(2022宁夏银川一中期末)
Seventeen year old Quinterro stood at the edge of the mountain pass high above the city of Lima, Peru. He aimed his binoculars(双筒望远镜) at the city below. Quinterro scanned(细看) the streets and the buildings, letting the binoculars bring the busy place into focus for him.
Lowering the binoculars, Quinterro looked back at his family. He sighed as he thought of his life, day after day, watching the llamas(美洲驼).Operating a llama caravan(旅行队) wasn’t exciting...
“Quinterro!”His older brother Ireneo’s voice interrupted his thoughts. “I’ve told you a million times to pay attention!”
Quinterro aimed the binoculars toward the mountain pass only to see that another caravan had reached the clearing. The new llamas smelled the other animals and ran wildly. Quinterro watched as a girl of his age chased after one of the jumpy animals. Quinterro and Ireneo led the llamas back to the clearing. Quinterro glanced around until he spotted the innocent girl he had been watching earlier. She seemed to be making friends with the llamas, saying something to the animals in a gentle voice.
“My name is Marta,”the girl said as Quinterro approached. Quinterro introduced himself. “Do you do this all the time ” she asked.
“My family does. I help out during school breaks,”Quinterro said.
Marta smiled,“I live in the city. The prospect here is so beautiful from below.”
Quinterro stared at her, disbelieving what he had heard.
“The city looks so different from up here,” Marta said as she looked down.
Quinterro took the binoculars from around his neck.“Try these.”
He passed the binoculars to Marta and then turned to look down at the city. When not magnified(放大),the city looked smaller and duller.
“I think they’re broken,” Marta said.
Curious, Quinterro reached for the binoculars and held them to his eyes. The bushes in front of him were huge like green mountains. He aimed the binoculars at the llamas, at the mountain pass, and then at his family. Everything seemed bigger, closer, and more defined. He could even see the geese in the yard.
Next, he aimed the binoculars at the city below. It was completely out of focus. Quinterro adjusted the lenses(镜头). With a smile, he handed the binoculars back to Marta. “They’re not broken.”Quinterro said.“It depends on how you look through them.”
5.What was Quinterro doing in Paragraph 1
A.Searching for lost llamas.
B.Talking to his older brother.
C.Watching the llamas.
D.Looking at the city.
6.What can be inferred about Marta
A.She enjoyed being with animals.
B.She was scared by a jumpy llama.
C.She was a bit shy around new people.
D.She would love to operate a llama caravan.
7.What did Quinterro want to show Marta by passing her the binoculars
A.How he looked after the llamas.
B.The details of the mountains.
C.Why the city seemed dull.
D.A clear sight of the city.
8.What is the best title for the text
A.A different view
B.An unexpected visitor

D.A life changing mountain trip

On one late autumn day, Wang Ting, 1 resident in the Shanxi provincial capital of Taiyuan, took his family to the Jueweishan Mountain in the city’s northwestern suburbs to take dozens of pictures.
“Autumn is usually the best season for Taiyuan,” Wang said. “But that was not necessarily true in the past for the city, 2 was troubled by pollution from heavy industry companies.
A change for the better, not only in Taiyuan but the entire Shanxi Province, 3 (take) place over the past few years thanks to the local governments and people’s efforts in environmental protection.
Statistics from the Department of Ecology and Environment of Shanxi Province show that 4 (compare) with 65.7 percent in 2017, Shanxi had 72.1 percent of its days with air quality reaching good and excellent levels in 2021. There is also an obvious 5 (improve) in water quality across rivers and lakes.
During a recent news conference,Wang Yanfeng, head of the department at that time, said that Shanxi has been holding the idea that clear waters and lush mountains are 6 valuable as gold and silver 7 (achieve) a balance between the environment and social economic development over the past few years.

Unit 6 Nature in words
Part 1 Starting out & Understanding ideas
基础过关练
Ⅰ.1.weekly 2.churches 3.prospect 4.enhance
Ⅱ.1.innocence 考查名词。句意:她声称她有证据可以证明她的清白。根据空前的形容词性物主代词her可知设空处应用名词,表示“清白,无辜”,故填innocence。
2.on/upon 考查介词。句意:我们建议他们休息一下,但他们坚持先完成工作。insist on/upon doing sth.坚持做某事。
3.inspectors 考查名词。句意:如果你有任何问题,请打电话给我们的巡视员,他们会立即到达现场寻求问题的解决办法。根据空前的形容词性物主代词our可知设空处应用名词;根据后面的they可知设空处应用复数名词,故填inspectors,意为“巡视员”。
4.at 考查介词。句意:我们在公共场合盯着外国人是不礼貌的,这反过来会使他们怒视你。glare at怒视。
5.bending 考查非谓语动词。句意:Rick到了,他稍微低头以避开门楣。分析句子结构可知,本句已有谓语appeared,故此处应用非谓语动词。bend与其逻辑主语Rick之间为主动关系,因此本空应用现在分词作伴随状语。故填bending。
6.reddened 考查动词及时态。分析句子结构可知,so连接两个并列分句,在so后的分句中,his face是主语,设空处是谓语,应用动词,由语境可知设空处表示“变红”,应用动词redden;根据so前由and连接的两个分句中的fell和looked可知应用一般过去时。故填reddened。注意red变动词时需要双写d再加 en。
7.is disposed 考查时态和语态。句意:有一个利用生态学原理处理废物的系统。dispose of sth.意为“处理某物”,the waste与dispose of之间为被动关系,故此处应用被动语态;此处表示一般事实,应用一般现在时,故填is disposed。
Ⅲ.1.broke out 2.at the risk of 3.talk away
4.came round
Ⅳ.1.as if I had done 2.insisted that every minute should be made 3.If necessary; making/giving a speech
4.①With time going by ②As time goes by
③Over time
能力提升练
Ⅰ.1.have seen 考查时态和主谓一致。句意:这是今年我第一次看到雪。“It is the first/second/...time that sb. have/has done sth.”是固定句型,意为“这是某人第一/第二/……次做某事”。由此句型可知,设空处应用现在完成时,又因为从句主语为I,故填have seen。
2.yourself 考查反身代词。句意:你入睡的时候在一种世界里,醒来发现自己在另一种完全不同的世界里。分析句子结构可知,句子主语You和find的宾语指代的是同一个人,故设空处应用反身代词yourself。
3.quietness 考查名词。名词secrecy和设空处是由and连接的并列成分,“The secrecy and 3 ”是句子主语,设空处应用名词。quiet的名词形式是quietness,意为“平静,安静”。故填quietness。
4.which 考查关系代词。分析句子结构可知,“ 4 made the familiar business of splashing and shaving and brushing and dressing very strange too”为设空处引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰整个主句,设空处在从句中作主语,故填which。
5.out 考查副词。come out为固定短语,意为“(太阳、星星或月亮)出来”,故填out。
6.or 考查连词。an hour or two表示“一两个小时”,故填or。
7.threatening 考查形容词。设空处作定语修饰空后的名词shapes,应用形容词;此处是说“所有树都是黑色的,形状令人害怕”,由此可知设空处表示“令人害怕的”,应用形容词threatening。
8.heavily 考查副词。设空处作状语修饰谓语is falling,表示雪下得大,故填副词heavily。
9.roofs 考查名词复数。根据空后的are可知设空处填名词复数roofs。
10.flattening 考查现在分词。句意:从我的书房,我能看到孩子们正在把他们的鼻子贴在窗户上。分析句子结构并结合空前的“see the children”可知,此处使用了“see+宾语+宾语补足语”结构,设空处为宾语补足语;宾语the children与flatten为逻辑上的主动关系,应用现在分词或不带to的动词不定式作宾语补足语。see sb. doing...意为“看到某人正在做……”,符合语境。故填flattening。
Ⅱ.A
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了荷兰通过建造小森林来改善城市环境。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“such special and very small forests”和“It’s about the size of a basketball court.”可知,Muziekplein森林的特点是尺寸很小。故选A。
2.D 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Daan Bleichrodt launched IVN’s Tiny Forest plan with the goal of making it easier for children to know the significance of protecting environment...It’s a very practical way for people to do something positive considering climate change and loss of biodiversity.”可知,建造这样的小森林是为了让孩子们知道保护环境的重要性,并为防止气候变化和物种多样性流失做一些事情。由此推知,在荷兰的城市里建造小森林的目的是帮助改善当地环境。故选D。
3.C 词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“in general, new plant species, such as wildflowers, are allowed to grow”可知,通常新的植物物种,如野花,是被允许生长的,结合but可知前面的“Daily maintenance of the forests sometimes involves obliterating unwanted weeds”中的obliterating表示“清除”。故选C。
4.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段Suzanne Valkman的话“看到这么多物种被认出,我实在是惊讶。”和“小森林的数据表明,这个小项目可以改善城市的生物多样性。”可知,作者提到Suzanne Valkman的话是为了展示小森林计划的效果很好。故选B。
【高频词汇】 1.challenge n.挑战;艰巨任务 2.become aware of意识到,知道 3.major adj.主要的;大的;重要的 4.release vt.发布;公布;放走;松开 5.a range of一系列 6.in addition to除……以外(还)
7.decrease v.减少;(使大小、数量等)减小;降低
【差距词汇】 reptile n.爬行动物
B
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Quinterro通过望远镜从不同的视角见到了不一样的风景。
5.D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“He aimed his binoculars(双筒望远镜) at the city below.(他把双筒望远镜对准下面的城市。)”可知,在第一段中Quinterro在看城市。故选D。
6.A 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“making friends with the llamas”及“in a gentle voice”可推断,Marta喜欢和动物在一起。故选A。
7.D 推理判断题。根据倒数第四段“He passed the binoculars to Marta and then turned to look down at the city. When not magnified(放大), the city looked smaller and duller.(他把双筒望远镜递给Marta,然后转过身来俯视这座城市。如果不放大,这座城市看起来更小、更沉闷。)”可知,Quinterro把双筒望远镜递给Marta是想向她展示城市的清晰景象。故选D。
8.A 主旨大意题。综合全文内容,尤其是第九段“‘The city looks so different from up here,’ Marta said as she looked down.(‘从这儿往下看,这个城市看起来很不一样,’ Marta往下看时说。)”以及最后一段中的“It depends on how you look through them.(这取决于你如何用它们看。)”可知,文章主要讲述了Quinterro通过望远镜从不同的视角见到了不一样的风景。所以A项“A different view(不同的视角)”作为文章标题最合适。故选A。
【高频词汇】 1.focus n.焦点;对焦 out of focus模糊不清的 2.operate v.运转;经营 3.interrupt v.打断
4.chase after追逐,追赶 5.spot v.发现 n.斑点;污迹 6.approach v.接近,靠近 n.方法
【熟词生义】 pass n.关口,关隘
Ⅲ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了由于山西省在环保方面的努力,自然之美得以充分展示。
1.a 考查冠词。句意:在一个深秋的一天,山西省会太原的一个居民王廷带着他的家人来到该市西北郊区的觉微山,拍了许多照片。resident为可数名词,此处泛指“一个”,所以用不定冠词,且resident以辅音音素开头。故填a。
2.which 考查定语从句。设空处无提示词,空前有逗号,且逗号前面的句子意思完整,不缺成分,空后句子缺少主语,故推测此处为非限制性定语从句。先行词为the city,设空处在非限制性定语从句中作主语,应用关系代词which引导。
3.has taken 考查时态和主谓一致。句意:在过去的几年里,由于当地政府和人民在环境保护方面的努力,不仅太原,整个山西省都发生了更好的变化。根据时间状语over the past few years可知,此处应用现在完成时。主语A change为第三人称单数,故填has taken。
4.compared 考查非谓语动词。句意:山西省生态环境厅的统计数据显示,与2017年的65.7%相比,2021年山西空气质量优良天数的比例为72.1%。本句中that引导宾语从句,从句中逻辑主语Shanxi与compare之间为被动关系,所以用过去分词作状语。
5.improvement 考查词性转换。形容词obvious后接名词形式,且根据不定冠词an可知,用名词的单数形式。故填improvement。
6.as 考查副词。句意:在最近的一次新闻发布会上,当时的山西省生态环境厅厅长王延峰表示,在过去几年里,山西一直秉持绿水青山就是金山银山的理念,以实现环境与社会经济发展的平衡。此处为“as+ adj.+as...”结构,意为“和……一样”。故填as。
7.to achieve 考查非谓语动词。句意同上。结合语境可知,此处应用不定式作目的状语,故填to achieve。
8.developing 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,“ 8 (develop) clean energy resources”与“upgrading local industries to clean production”“reducing pollution and emissions”和“promoting environmentally friendly industries as new growth drivers”并列,共同作include的宾语,include doing sth.包括做某事。故填developing。
9.traditionally 考查词性转换。句意:在产业升级后,山西,这个传统的煤生产大省,75%的煤炭产量来自先进和清洁的生产设施。设空处在句中作状语,应用副词形式。故填traditionally。
10.its 考查代词。名词短语coal output前用形容词性物主代词。故填its。
【高频词汇】 1.quality n.质量 2.economic adj.经济的
3.emission n.排放;排放物 4.generate v.产生,引起
5.renewable adj.可再生的
【差距词汇】 upgrade vt.使升级 n.升级
长难句
原句 During a recent news conference, Wang Yanfeng, head of the department at that time, said that Shanxi has been holding the idea that clear waters and lush mountains are as valuable as gold and silver to achieve a balance between the environment and social economic development over the past few years.
分析 本句为主从复合句。“that Shanxi has been holding...over the past few years”为that引导的宾语从句;该从句中又包含that引导的同位语从句“that clear waters...as gold and silver”;“to achieve...over the past few years”为不定式短语作目的状语。
译文 在最近的一次新闻发布会上,当时的山西省生态环境厅厅长王延峰表示,在过去几年里,山西一直秉持绿水青山就是金山银山的理念,以实现环境与社会经济发展的平衡。

Quinterro aimed the binoculars toward the mountain pass only to see that another caravan had reached the clearing. The new llamas smelled the other animals and ran wildly. Quinterro watched as a girl of his age chased after one of the jumpy animals. Quinterro and Ireneo led the llamas back to the clearing. Quinterro glanced around until he spotted the innocent girl he had been watching earlier. She seemed to be making friends with the llamas, saying something to the animals in a gentle voice.
“My name is Marta,”the girl said as Quinterro approached. Quinterro introduced himself. “Do you do this all the time ” she asked.
“My family does. I help out during school breaks,”Quinterro said.
Marta smiled,“I live in the city. The prospect here is so beautiful from below.”
Quinterro stared at her, disbelieving what he had heard.
“The city looks so different from up here,” Marta said as she looked down.
Quinterro took the binoculars from around his neck.“Try these.”
He passed the binoculars to Marta and then turned to look down at the city. When not magnified(放大),the city looked smaller and duller.
“I think they’re broken,” Marta said.
Curious, Quinterro reached for the binoculars and held them to his eyes. The bushes in front of him were huge like green mountains. He aimed the binoculars at the llamas, at the mountain pass, and then at his family. Everything seemed bigger, closer, and more defined. He could even see the geese in the yard.
Next, he aimed the binoculars at the city below. It was completely out of focus. Quinterro adjusted the lenses(镜头). With a smile, he handed the binoculars back to Marta. “They’re not broken.”Quinterro said.“It depends on how you look through them.”

Ⅰ.1.weekly 2.churches 3.prospect 4.enhance
Ⅱ.1.innocence 考查名词。句意:她声称她有证据可以证明她的清白。根据空前的形容词性物主代词her可知设空处应用名词,表示“清白,无辜”,故填innocence。

Ⅰ.1.have seen 考查时态和主谓一致。句意:这是今年我第一次看到雪。“It is the first/second/...time that sb. have/has done sth.”是固定句型,意为“这是某人第一/第二/……次做某事”。由此句型可知,设空处应用现在完成时,又因为从句主语为I,故填have seen。
2.yourself 考查反身代词。句意:你入睡的时候在一种世界里,醒来发现自己在另一种完全不同的世界里。分析句子结构可知,句子主语You和find的宾语指代的是同一个人,故设空处应用反身代词yourself。

4.which 考查关系代词。分析句子结构可知,“ 4 made the familiar business of splashing and shaving and brushing and dressing very strange too”为设空处引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰整个主句,设空处在从句中作主语,故填which。

Ⅱ.A
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了荷兰通过建造小森林来改善城市环境。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“such special and very small forests”和“It’s about the size of a basketball court.”可知,Muziekplein森林的特点是尺寸很小。故选A。
2.D 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Daan Bleichrodt launched IVN’s Tiny Forest plan with the goal of making it easier for children to know the significance of protecting environment...It’s a very practical way for people to do something positive considering climate change and loss of biodiversity.”可知,建造这样的小森林是为了让孩子们知道保护环境的重要性,并为防止气候变化和物种多样性流失做一些事情。由此推知,在荷兰的城市里建造小森林的目的是帮助改善当地环境。故选D。
3.C 词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“in general, new plant species, such as wildflowers, are allowed to grow”可知,通常新的植物物种,如野花,是被允许生长的,结合but可知前面的“Daily maintenance of the forests sometimes involves obliterating unwanted weeds”中的obliterating表示“清除”。故选C。
4.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段Suzanne Valkman的话“看到这么多物种被认出,我实在是惊讶。”和“小森林的数据表明,这个小项目可以改善城市的生物多样性。”可知,作者提到Suzanne Valkman的话是为了展示小森林计划的效果很好。故选B。

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Quinterro通过望远镜从不同的视角见到了不一样的风景。
5.D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“He aimed his binoculars(双筒望远镜) at the city below.(他把双筒望远镜对准下面的城市。)”可知,在第一段中Quinterro在看城市。故选D。
6.A 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“making friends with the llamas”及“in a gentle voice”可推断,Marta喜欢和动物在一起。故选A。
7.D 推理判断题。根据倒数第四段“He passed the binoculars to Marta and then turned to look down at the city. When not magnified(放大), the city looked smaller and duller.(他把双筒望远镜递给Marta,然后转过身来俯视这座城市。如果不放大,这座城市看起来更小、更沉闷。)”可知,Quinterro把双筒望远镜递给Marta是想向她展示城市的清晰景象。故选D。
8.A 主旨大意题。综合全文内容,尤其是第九段“‘The city looks so different from up here,’ Marta said as she looked down.(‘从这儿往下看,这个城市看起来很不一样,’ Marta往下看时说。)”以及最后一段中的“It depends on how you look through them.(这取决于你如何用它们看。)”可知,文章主要讲述了Quinterro通过望远镜从不同的视角见到了不一样的风景。所以A项“A different view(不同的视角)”作为文章标题最合适。故选A。

Ⅲ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了由于山西省在环保方面的努力,自然之美得以充分展示。
1.a 考查冠词。句意:在一个深秋的一天,山西省会太原的一个居民王廷带着他的家人来到该市西北郊区的觉微山,拍了许多照片。resident为可数名词,此处泛指“一个”,所以用不定冠词,且resident以辅音音素开头。故填a。
2.which 考查定语从句。设空处无提示词,空前有逗号,且逗号前面的句子意思完整,不缺成分,空后句子缺少主语,故推测此处为非限制性定语从句。先行词为the city,设空处在非限制性定语从句中作主语,应用关系代词which引导。
3.has taken 考查时态和主谓一致。句意:在过去的几年里,由于当地政府和人民在环境保护方面的努力,不仅太原,整个山西省都发生了更好的变化。根据时间状语over the past few years可知,此处应用现在完成时。主语A change为第三人称单数,故填has taken。
4.compared 考查非谓语动词。句意:山西省生态环境厅的统计数据显示,与2017年的65.7%相比,2021年山西空气质量优良天数的比例为72.1%。本句中that引导宾语从句,从句中逻辑主语Shanxi与compare之间为被动关系,所以用过去分词作状语。
5.improvement 考查词性转换。形容词obvious后接名词形式,且根据不定冠词an可知,用名词的单数形式。故填improvement。
6.as 考查副词。句意:在最近的一次新闻发布会上,当时的山西省生态环境厅厅长王延峰表示,在过去几年里,山西一直秉持绿水青山就是金山银山的理念,以实现环境与社会经济发展的平衡。此处为“as+ adj.+as...”结构,意为“和……一样”。故填as。
7.to achieve 考查非谓语动词。句意同上。结合语境可知,此处应用不定式作目的状语,故填to achieve。
8.developing 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,“ 8 (develop) clean energy resources”与“upgrading local industries to clean production”“reducing pollution and emissions”和“promoting environmentally friendly industries as new growth drivers”并列,共同作include的宾语,include doing sth.包括做某事。故填developing。
9.traditionally 考查词性转换。句意:在产业升级后,山西,这个传统的煤生产大省,75%的煤炭产量来自先进和清洁的生产设施。设空处在句中作状语,应用副词形式。故填traditionally。
10.its 考查代词。名词短语coal output前用形容词性物主代词。故填its。
【高频词汇】 1.quality n.质量 2.economic adj.经济的
3.emission n.排放;排放物 4.generate v.产生,引起
5.renewable adj.可再生的

原句 During a recent news conference, Wang Yanfeng, head of the department at that time, said that Shanxi has been holding the idea that clear waters and lush mountains are as valuable as gold and silver to achieve a balance between the environment and social economic development over the past few years.
分析 本句为主从复合句。“that Shanxi has been holding...over the past few years”为that引导的宾语从句;该从句中又包含that引导的同位语从句“that clear waters...as gold and silver”;“to achieve...over the past few years”为不定式短语作目的状语。
