二、阅读理解 阅读下面的短文, 然后根据短文内容, 在每小题所给的四之选项中选出最佳选项。
(A)
In the 1500s, South American fishermen said that the sea became warmer every few years. They gave this special event a Spanish name “El Nino”, meaning “the baby”. It is called “the baby” because it arrives around Christmas.
El Nino is a huge area of warm water in the middle of cold water in the Pacific Ocean (太平洋). It happens every two to seven years. It moves around the ocean and becomes bigger or smaller at different times. This warm water affects (影响) the weather. It is always raining over El Nino. El Nino has a lot of energy. Scientists think this energy is formed when wind comes from the northern half of the world. The winds blow across warm sea water in the south. When the strong wind hits the warm water, violent (猛烈的) weather happens. Scientists think El Nino has had for many thousands of years.
El Nino affects every person in the world because it affects the whole world’s weather. It can bring the rain that farmers need. It can bring storms that pull down homes. It can mean that fishermen cannot catch fish, and it can cause floods. There is nothing we can do about El Nino. It is an event of nature. We can help the world’s weather by trying to stop the greenhouse effect (温室效应) and air pollution. The most important job for scientists is to learn how to predict (预报) when El Nino is going to bring dangerous weather. Then, people can try to prepare for storms and floods. New technology like satellite (卫星) pictures and temperature measuring equipment can help. Still, it is very hard to say when or where El Nino will cause damage.
( ) 1. From the passage we know that El Nino is ________.
A. a storm that hits every two years B. a huge area of warm water
C. a wind from the south D. some cold water in the Pacific Ocean
( ) 2. What fact does the passage provide
A. El Nino makes the weather better. B. El Nino affects the weather.
C. El Nino brings the weather energy. D. El Nino predicts the weather.
( ) 3. When El Nino comes, the weather is often ________.
A. sunny B. cloudy C. rainy D. windy
( ) 4. What can help predict El Nino
A. Looking out of the window. B. Checking the weather each day.
C. Satellite pictures. D. A heavy rainstorm.
(B)
People in Europe are interested in the fall of crazy orange snow. Yes, orange. The snow fell onto many parts of Eastern Europe. Pictures on social media from Russia show that mountains are orange in colour, where usually they are white.
The reason is pretty simple. According to the BBC, the orange snow is caused by small particles (颗粒) of sand from the Sahara. They go into the air, travel across the world and fall back to the ground with rain and snow.
Social media users have posted photos of a ski resort in Sochi, Russia with its strange orange slopes (山坡). The bizarre snow has also fallen on Bulgaria, Ukraine, Romania and Moldova.
Meteorologist Steven Keates said, “Looking at satellite imagery (卫星图) from NASA, it shows a lot of sand and dust in the air. When it rains or snows, it brings down whatever is up there.”
It is not the first time eastern Europeans have experienced a strange snowcolour. A similar thing happened in 2007 when orange snow fell across three areas of southern Siberia. It made a terrible smell, possibly the result of pollution. Another happened in 2012. But the snow of this time is special because of a desert sandstorm (沙尘暴) that was very big.
( ) 1. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph
A. People in Europe are interested in playing with snow.
B. There’re some special orange mountains in Europe.
C. Travellers see beautiful snows when they’re travelling in Europe.
D. Strange snow fell down in some parts of Europe.
( ) 2. Why is the snow orange in colour
A. Because there’s lots of smoke in the air.
B. Because the sky over the mountains is orange.
C. Because there’re lots of sand particles in the air.
D. Because there was a sandstorm in Europe some days ago.
( ) 3. What does the underlined word “bizarre” probably mean in Chinese
A. 漂亮的 B. 奇怪的 C. 广泛的 D. 引起骚乱的
( ) 4. How often does the orange snow fall according to the passage
A. About every two years. B. About every four years.
C. About every six years. D. About every ten years.
( ) 5. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. The strange snow this year makes a bad smell.
B. Rains or snows will bring down dust in the air.
C. Romania is a country in Western Europe.
D. Steven Keates doesn’t think air pollution makes the snow strange in colour.

一、完形填空 先通读下面的短文, 掌握其大意, 然后在每小题所给的四个选项中, 选出可以填 入空白处的最佳选项。
As we all know, the environment around us is getting worse and worse. In some places we can’t see fish 1 in the river or trees on the hills. Some people even have no clean water to drink.
Recently, a new lifestyle called low carbon (碳) life is 2 to every corner of our country. The meanings of low carbon are 3 energy and no waste. It is such an important project that I can’t wait to express my ideas on how to promote (推广) it.
First, we should 4 a no-car day every week in our school, because cars not only cause serious air pollution but also waste energy. 5 the no-car day, no students or teachers are allowed to drive to school. Instead, all of us must walk or run, using our 6 to enjoy the fun.
Second, we had better not use plastic bags any more. No one can stand the “white pollution”, 7 it is wise to use cloth bags which can be used again and again.
8 , one thing that we should keep in mind is that every big thing comes from the small details. So, as students, we should turn 9 the lights the moment we leave, use 10 sides of the paper, and reuse our textbooks and so on.
All in all, it weighs greatly for all of us to put the low carbon lifestyle into practice. Just set our mind to these: no-car days, no plastic bags, and no waste. Let’s do it now.

二、阅读理解 阅读下面的短文, 然后根据短文内容, 在每小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。
(A)
Are you thirsty while running Here, you can have a seaweed pouch (海藻袋) full of sports drink.
More than 42,000 people ran the London Marathon on April 28. And London made a change in giving away water this year. When runners reached 23 miles, they got the Ooho water pouches, not plastic water bottles. And as a result, the London Marathon cut down the number of plastic bottles by 200,000.
The Ooho pouches are made of seaweed by a company called Skipping Rocks Lab. Why does the company use seaweed Because seaweed can grow up to I metre every day and it doesn’t need fresh water. According to the company, making water pouches is easier than making plastic bottles. And the thin seaweed membrane (薄膜) is edible. If people are not willing to eat it, it will biodegrade within six weeks.
The race in London marks the first time Ooho pouch is used at a marathon. “It is a miles tone (里程碑). We are hoping to show that we can use it widely in the future,” said Garcia Gonzalez, one of the company’s founders. The balls are made for people on the move, such as runners and music festival-goers. They can hold not only water but also many other drinks.
Garcia Gonzalez says the Lab wants to make plastic packaging disappear (消失).
( ) 1. How many plastic bottles were reduced at the London Marathon
Forty-two thousand. B. Two thousand.
C. Two hundred thousand. D.Twenty thousand.
( ) 2. Who are the seaweed pouches made for
A. The runners at a marathon only. B. The music festival-goers only.
C. People on the move. D. Young runners only.
( ) 3. What is the passage mainly about
A. London Marathon. B. Disappearing plastic bottles.
C. Skipping Rocks Lab. D. The seaweed pouch.
(B)
The Earth is our home; we must take care of it. This means keeping the land, air and water clean. Pollution is a dirty word. To pollute means to make things unfit or unclean to use. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, taste it and drink it. Pollution is beginning to threaten (威胁) our health, our happiness and our life.
Man has been polluting the Earth from the time he first made fire, washed his clothes in the river and threw his waste on the ground. When land was used up or water became dirty, men moved on to another place. At first, the problem was not so serious because there was lots of clean air, land and water. There weren’t so many people then and their wants were fewer. All the dirty things could be absorbed (吸收) by nature and soon covered over. But this is no longer true. The increase of population (人口的增加) and the development of industry (工业) have changed that. Man is slowly harming his environment.
Through the use of poison (毒素), man has polluted the land and killed the animals. By putting dirty water and chemicals into rivers and lakes we have polluted our drinking water and killed the fish. Our increasing population is part of the problem. More people, more waste.
When is this all to end Are we turning the world into a big rubbish dump (堆存处), or is there any hope that we can get away the pollution Luckily, millions of people have been warned of the danger of pollution. Large numbers of people all over the world are now working hard to bring pollution under control (控制).
( ) 4. In this passage the underlined word “chemicals” means ________ in Chinese.
A. 化学 B. 化学物质 C. 化学的 D. 医学的
( ) 5. From the underlined sentence “More people, more waste”, we know that ________.
A. more waste is produced because of more people
B. we need more people, not more waste
C. there isn’t any hope that we can get away the pollution
D. more people have been warned of the danger of more waste
( ) 6. From the passage we can know that now man ________.
A. doesn’t know how to control pollution B. still doesn’t realize how serious pollution is
C. is doing something to control pollution D. begins to understand the pollution
(C)
April 22 is Earth Day. Everyone on Earth should care about and protect the Earth!
The Earth has warmed by about 1°F (华氏度) over the past 100 years, but why and how Well, scientists are not quite sure. Maybe the Earth gets warmer and warmer on its own. But many scientists say that people are doing many things which make the Earth warmer.
First, greenhouse effect (温室效应) is a very important reason for the change of the Earth. People give out too much energy into the air every year. It makes the Earth warmer. Climate (气侯) change is another important reason. Sometimes it becomes too hot and sometimes too cold. Sometimes there is too much rain and sometimes too little. The change of the climate makes the Earth warmer. In turn, the warmth of the Earth changes the climate, too.
When the Earth becomes warmer, there may be more rain and a rise in sea level. It will affect (影响) the growth of plants, animals and people. On a Pacific island,100 people have to move to higher ground because the sea is rising. These people can no longer live on the coast. Before that, two islands without people went under water in 1999. Scientists say that the seas can rise by nearly one metre by 2100.
People can affect the Earth’s air, land and water. As for us, we can do many things to protect the Earth. For example, we can use fridges less. We can tell more people about protecting the Earth.
( ) 7. Earth Day is probably set for people to ________.
A. learn more about the Earth B. make full use of the Earth
C. take better care of the Earth D. study the warmth of the Earth
( ) 8. We can infer (推断) from the passage that the reasons for the warmer Earth are ________ now.
A. not very clear B. completely secret C. well known D. not given yet
( ) 9. Greenhouse effect comes from ________.
sea rising B. climate change
C. nature’s unbalance (不平衡) D. people’s activity
( ) 10. According to the passage, ________ may affect each other.
A. animals and islands B. climate and the warmth of the Earth
C. fridges and animals D. sea level and the growth of plants
( ) 11. The passage mainly tells us that ________.
A. there is more rain now B. we should protect the Earth
C. we must stop pollution D. sea level is getting higher
三、阅读填空 先通读下面的短文, 然后在短文后表格的空格内填入一个最恰当的单词。
People are becoming more willing than ever before to accept green lifestyles. But some aren’t totally sure where to begin. While large steps need much money and big plans, smaller steps can be taken right away. There are plenty of small things you can do to live a greener life through day-to-day activities.
The quickest way to cut down on your carbon emissions (碳排放量) is to save energy in your home. Use energy-saving lamps, turn lights off when they are not in use, make sure your walls and floors are insulated (隔热的) and windows can be fully closed, and keep your energy use low. You will save energy and money at the same time.
Every drop of tap water you use consumes (消耗) energy. Remember, it needs to be transported and cleaned (even before it reaches your tap). It might just be water, but lots of energy is consumed in a series of processes. You can turn the tap off while brushing your teeth, use washers and dryers that work quickly, and collect rainwater for use in your garden.
Did you know that eating some types of food can make a difference to the environment too Food producers make carbon emissions in the process of shipping their products around the world. When you eat seasonal and local food, you protect the environment as well as improving your own health.
Start from small steps ● People who want a green lifestyle sometimes do not know 1 to start with. ● Making big changes needs lots of money and careful plans. ● Many small things can be done quickly in daily life.
Save energy ● The first place to let out less carbon is one’s 2 . ● People can use environmentally-friendly lights, check walls, floors and windows. ● 3 is also saved in this way.
Save water ● While cleaning and transporting water, much energy is consumed. ● Remember to turn off’ the tap, choose water-saving machines and collect water for flowers on 4 days.
Eat local food ● Transporting food gives off much carbon. ● People are advised to eat local food in 5 . ● It is friendly to both the environment and people’s health.

He hurried along the 5 beach the rocks. They were the best place to watch the whales from because of their 6 .
Before Eric reached the rocks he felt a drop of water on his head. “Oh no!” he thought. “Now the whales will stay in the deep water and I won’t be able to 7 them!” But just then he saw a large shape on the beach.

In the 1500s, South American fishermen said that the sea became warmer every few years. They gave this special event a Spanish name “El Nino”, meaning “the baby”. It is called “the baby” because it arrives around Christmas.
El Nino is a huge area of warm water in the middle of cold water in the Pacific Ocean (太平洋). It happens every two to seven years. It moves around the ocean and becomes bigger or smaller at different times. This warm water affects (影响) the weather. It is always raining over El Nino. El Nino has a lot of energy. Scientists think this energy is formed when wind comes from the northern half of the world. The winds blow across warm sea water in the south. When the strong wind hits the warm water, violent (猛烈的) weather happens. Scientists think El Nino has had for many thousands of years.
El Nino affects every person in the world because it affects the whole world’s weather. It can bring the rain that farmers need. It can bring storms that pull down homes. It can mean that fishermen cannot catch fish, and it can cause floods. There is nothing we can do about El Nino. It is an event of nature. We can help the world’s weather by trying to stop the greenhouse effect (温室效应) and air pollution. The most important job for scientists is to learn how to predict (预报) when El Nino is going to bring dangerous weather. Then, people can try to prepare for storms and floods. New technology like satellite (卫星) pictures and temperature measuring equipment can help. Still, it is very hard to say when or where El Nino will cause damage.
( ) 1. From the passage we know that El Nino is ________.
A. a storm that hits every two years B. a huge area of warm water
C. a wind from the south D. some cold water in the Pacific Ocean
( ) 2. What fact does the passage provide
A. El Nino makes the weather better. B. El Nino affects the weather.
C. El Nino brings the weather energy. D. El Nino predicts the weather.
( ) 3. When El Nino comes, the weather is often ________.
A. sunny B. cloudy C. rainy D. windy
( ) 4. What can help predict El Nino
A. Looking out of the window. B. Checking the weather each day.
C. Satellite pictures. D. A heavy rainstorm.
(B)
People in Europe are interested in the fall of crazy orange snow. Yes, orange. The snow fell onto many parts of Eastern Europe. Pictures on social media from Russia show that mountains are orange in colour, where usually they are white.
The reason is pretty simple. According to the BBC, the orange snow is caused by small particles (颗粒) of sand from the Sahara. They go into the air, travel across the world and fall back to the ground with rain and snow.
Social media users have posted photos of a ski resort in Sochi, Russia with its strange orange slopes (山坡). The bizarre snow has also fallen on Bulgaria, Ukraine, Romania and Moldova.
Meteorologist Steven Keates said, “Looking at satellite imagery (卫星图) from NASA, it shows a lot of sand and dust in the air. When it rains or snows, it brings down whatever is up there.”
It is not the first time eastern Europeans have experienced a strange snowcolour. A similar thing happened in 2007 when orange snow fell across three areas of southern Siberia. It made a terrible smell, possibly the result of pollution. Another happened in 2012. But the snow of this time is special because of a desert sandstorm (沙尘暴) that was very big.
( ) 1. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph
A. People in Europe are interested in playing with snow.
B. There’re some special orange mountains in Europe.
C. Travellers see beautiful snows when they’re travelling in Europe.
D. Strange snow fell down in some parts of Europe.
( ) 2. Why is the snow orange in colour
A. Because there’s lots of smoke in the air.
B. Because the sky over the mountains is orange.
C. Because there’re lots of sand particles in the air.
D. Because there was a sandstorm in Europe some days ago.
( ) 3. What does the underlined word “bizarre” probably mean in Chinese
A. 漂亮的 B. 奇怪的 C. 广泛的 D. 引起骚乱的
( ) 4. How often does the orange snow fall according to the passage
A. About every two years. B. About every four years.
C. About every six years. D. About every ten years.
( ) 5. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. The strange snow this year makes a bad smell.
B. Rains or snows will bring down dust in the air.
C. Romania is a country in Western Europe.
D. Steven Keates doesn’t think air pollution makes the snow strange in colour.

一、完形填空 先通读下面的短文, 掌握其大意, 然后在每小题所给的四个选项中, 选出可以填 入空白处的最佳选项。
As we all know, the environment around us is getting worse and worse. In some places we can’t see fish 1 in the river or trees on the hills. Some people even have no clean water to drink.
Recently, a new lifestyle called low carbon (碳) life is 2 to every corner of our country. The meanings of low carbon are 3 energy and no waste. It is such an important project that I can’t wait to express my ideas on how to promote (推广) it.
First, we should 4 a no-car day every week in our school, because cars not only cause serious air pollution but also waste energy. 5 the no-car day, no students or teachers are allowed to drive to school. Instead, all of us must walk or run, using our 6 to enjoy the fun.
Second, we had better not use plastic bags any more. No one can stand the “white pollution”, 7 it is wise to use cloth bags which can be used again and again.
8 , one thing that we should keep in mind is that every big thing comes from the small details. So, as students, we should turn 9 the lights the moment we leave, use 10 sides of the paper, and reuse our textbooks and so on.
All in all, it weighs greatly for all of us to put the low carbon lifestyle into practice. Just set our mind to these: no-car days, no plastic bags, and no waste. Let’s do it now.
( ) 1. A. to play B. swimming C. to swim D. playing

二、阅读理解 阅读下面的短文, 然后根据短文内容, 在每小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。
(A)
Are you thirsty while running Here, you can have a seaweed pouch (海藻袋) full of sports drink.
More than 42,000 people ran the London Marathon on April 28. And London made a change in giving away water this year. When runners reached 23 miles, they got the Ooho water pouches, not plastic water bottles. And as a result, the London Marathon cut down the number of plastic bottles by 200,000.
The Ooho pouches are made of seaweed by a company called Skipping Rocks Lab. Why does the company use seaweed Because seaweed can grow up to I metre every day and it doesn’t need fresh water. According to the company, making water pouches is easier than making plastic bottles. And the thin seaweed membrane (薄膜) is edible. If people are not willing to eat it, it will biodegrade within six weeks.
The race in London marks the first time Ooho pouch is used at a marathon. “It is a miles tone (里程碑). We are hoping to show that we can use it widely in the future,” said Garcia Gonzalez, one of the company’s founders. The balls are made for people on the move, such as runners and music festival-goers. They can hold not only water but also many other drinks.
Garcia Gonzalez says the Lab wants to make plastic packaging disappear (消失).
( ) 1. How many plastic bottles were reduced at the London Marathon
Forty-two thousand. B. Two thousand.
C. Two hundred thousand. D.Twenty thousand.
( ) 2. Who are the seaweed pouches made for
A. The runners at a marathon only. B. The music festival-goers only.
C. People on the move. D. Young runners only.
( ) 3. What is the passage mainly about
A. London Marathon. B. Disappearing plastic bottles.
C. Skipping Rocks Lab. D. The seaweed pouch.
(B)
The Earth is our home; we must take care of it. This means keeping the land, air and water clean. Pollution is a dirty word. To pollute means to make things unfit or unclean to use. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, taste it and drink it. Pollution is beginning to threaten (威胁) our health, our happiness and our life.
Man has been polluting the Earth from the time he first made fire, washed his clothes in the river and threw his waste on the ground. When land was used up or water became dirty, men moved on to another place. At first, the problem was not so serious because there was lots of clean air, land and water. There weren’t so many people then and their wants were fewer. All the dirty things could be absorbed (吸收) by nature and soon covered over. But this is no longer true. The increase of population (人口的增加) and the development of industry (工业) have changed that. Man is slowly harming his environment.
Through the use of poison (毒素), man has polluted the land and killed the animals. By putting dirty water and chemicals into rivers and lakes we have polluted our drinking water and killed the fish. Our increasing population is part of the problem. More people, more waste.
When is this all to end Are we turning the world into a big rubbish dump (堆存处), or is there any hope that we can get away the pollution Luckily, millions of people have been warned of the danger of pollution. Large numbers of people all over the world are now working hard to bring pollution under control (控制).
( ) 4. In this passage the underlined word “chemicals” means ________ in Chinese.
A. 化学 B. 化学物质 C. 化学的 D. 医学的
( ) 5. From the underlined sentence “More people, more waste”, we know that ________.
A. more waste is produced because of more people
B. we need more people, not more waste
C. there isn’t any hope that we can get away the pollution
D. more people have been warned of the danger of more waste
( ) 6. From the passage we can know that now man ________.
A. doesn’t know how to control pollution B. still doesn’t realize how serious pollution is
C. is doing something to control pollution D. begins to understand the pollution
(C)
April 22 is Earth Day. Everyone on Earth should care about and protect the Earth!
The Earth has warmed by about 1°F (华氏度) over the past 100 years, but why and how Well, scientists are not quite sure. Maybe the Earth gets warmer and warmer on its own. But many scientists say that people are doing many things which make the Earth warmer.
First, greenhouse effect (温室效应) is a very important reason for the change of the Earth. People give out too much energy into the air every year. It makes the Earth warmer. Climate (气侯) change is another important reason. Sometimes it becomes too hot and sometimes too cold. Sometimes there is too much rain and sometimes too little. The change of the climate makes the Earth warmer. In turn, the warmth of the Earth changes the climate, too.
When the Earth becomes warmer, there may be more rain and a rise in sea level. It will affect (影响) the growth of plants, animals and people. On a Pacific island,100 people have to move to higher ground because the sea is rising. These people can no longer live on the coast. Before that, two islands without people went under water in 1999. Scientists say that the seas can rise by nearly one metre by 2100.
People can affect the Earth’s air, land and water. As for us, we can do many things to protect the Earth. For example, we can use fridges less. We can tell more people about protecting the Earth.
( ) 7. Earth Day is probably set for people to ________.
A. learn more about the Earth B. make full use of the Earth
C. take better care of the Earth D. study the warmth of the Earth
( ) 8. We can infer (推断) from the passage that the reasons for the warmer Earth are ________ now.
A. not very clear B. completely secret C. well known D. not given yet
( ) 9. Greenhouse effect comes from ________.
sea rising B. climate change
C. nature’s unbalance (不平衡) D. people’s activity
( ) 10. According to the passage, ________ may affect each other.
A. animals and islands B. climate and the warmth of the Earth
C. fridges and animals D. sea level and the growth of plants
( ) 11. The passage mainly tells us that ________.
A. there is more rain now B. we should protect the Earth
C. we must stop pollution D. sea level is getting higher
三、阅读填空 先通读下面的短文, 然后在短文后表格的空格内填入一个最恰当的单词。
People are becoming more willing than ever before to accept green lifestyles. But some aren’t totally sure where to begin. While large steps need much money and big plans, smaller steps can be taken right away. There are plenty of small things you can do to live a greener life through day-to-day activities.
The quickest way to cut down on your carbon emissions (碳排放量) is to save energy in your home. Use energy-saving lamps, turn lights off when they are not in use, make sure your walls and floors are insulated (隔热的) and windows can be fully closed, and keep your energy use low. You will save energy and money at the same time.
Every drop of tap water you use consumes (消耗) energy. Remember, it needs to be transported and cleaned (even before it reaches your tap). It might just be water, but lots of energy is consumed in a series of processes. You can turn the tap off while brushing your teeth, use washers and dryers that work quickly, and collect rainwater for use in your garden.
Did you know that eating some types of food can make a difference to the environment too Food producers make carbon emissions in the process of shipping their products around the world. When you eat seasonal and local food, you protect the environment as well as improving your own health.
Start from small steps ● People who want a green lifestyle sometimes do not know 1 to start with. ● Making big changes needs lots of money and careful plans. ● Many small things can be done quickly in daily life.
Save energy ● The first place to let out less carbon is one’s 2 . ● People can use environmentally-friendly lights, check walls, floors and windows. ● 3 is also saved in this way.
Save water ● While cleaning and transporting water, much energy is consumed. ● Remember to turn off’ the tap, choose water-saving machines and collect water for flowers on 4 days.
Eat local food ● Transporting food gives off much carbon. ● People are advised to eat local food in 5 . ● It is friendly to both the environment and people’s health.
