Ⅰ．阅读理解
Trees are useful to man in three very important ways：they provide him food，wood and other products；they give him shade；and they help to prevent drought(干旱) and floods.
Unfortunately，in many parts of the world，man has not realised that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees，he has cut them down in large numbers.
Two thousand years ago，a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships，with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but，without its trees，its soil became bare and poor. When the empire fell to pieces，the country found itself faced by floods and starvation.
Even where a government realises the importance of a plentiful supply of trees，it is difficult sometimes to make the people realise this. They cut down the trees but are too careless to plant and look after new trees. So unless the government has a good system of control，or can educate the people，the forests will slowly disappear.
This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees. The results are even more serious：for where there are trees，their roots break the soil up，allowing the rain to sink in，and also bind the soil. This prevents the soil from being washed away. But where there are no trees，the rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface，and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich top soil in which crops grow. When all the top soil is gone，nothing remains but worthless desert.
( )1．Trees are useful to man mainly in three ways，the most important of which is that they can ________.
A．keep him from the hot sunshine
B．protect him from droughts and floods
C．make him draw quick profit from them
D．enable him to build warships
( )2．It’s a great pity that ________.
A．man hasn’t realised the importance of trees to him
B．man is eager to profit from trees
C．man is only interested in building empires
D．man hasn’t found out that he has lost all trees
( )3．Sooner or later the forests will disappear ________.
A．unless a country has a plenty supply of trees
B．unless people stop cutting down their trees
C．unless the government punishes those who cut trees instead of planting them
D．unless all people are taught the importance of planting trees
( )4．The underlined word “bind” in Paragraph 5 means “________”.
A．to wash away B．to make stay together
C．to make wet D．to improve
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。这篇短文从三个方面告诉我们树对人类来说是重要的。一是树可以为人类和动物提供食物、木材和其他产品；二是树可以给人类提供树荫；三是树木可以防止干旱和洪水。因此我们要多植树，同时要保护树木。
1．B 细节理解题。根据第一段以及第二段第一句可知，树对人类的用处主要有三方面，其中最重要的是它们能保护人类免受干旱和洪水。故选B项。
2．A 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句 “Unfortunately，in many parts of the world，man has not realised that the third of these services is the most important. ” 可知，很遗憾的是，人类没有意识到树木对他们的重要性。故选A项。
3．D 细节理解题。根据第四段末句 “So unless the government has a good system of control，or can educate the people，the forests will slowly disappear. ”可知，除非所有人都被教育植树的重要性，否则森林迟早会消失。故选D项。
4．B 词义猜测题。根据下句 “This prevents the soil from being washed away. ”可推断出，该句的意思是因为有树的地方，它们的根会把土壤弄碎，让雨水渗入，也会把土壤凝固在一起。bind的意思是“凝固；捆绑”。故选B项。

Simple Ways to Reduce Your Everyday Waste
We all want to reduce our personal footprints, and a big part of this is reducing the amount of waste we produce at home. Here, we bring you four strategies for reducing waste in commonly wasteful areas of your life. __1__
Is it repairable
A high repairability score means significantly less waste. Whether a household item is fixable often translates to whether it ends up in a garbage can. __2__ That's why France now requires electronic products, such as smartphones and laptops, to have a label indicating a repairability score. Globally, the right to repair movement has been increasingly gaining in popularity, as more people want to be able to service their own products, instead of always having to buy new ones.
__3__
After noticing that good dining hall food was ending up in garbage cans every day, a group of students at the University of Maryland, College Park, created the Food Recovery Network, a nationwide student movement collecting surplus(剩余的) cafeteria food and donating it to hunger fighting nonprofits. You can learn more about their work and join the movement at foodrecoverynetwork org.
Fluff(绒毛) flies again.
Have a down comforter(羽绒被) or a down coat that's reached the end of its life？__4__ In recent years, an increasing number of companies have started gathering feathers for new products from reclaimed bedding and clothes.
Put your leaves to good use.
__5__ When left on the ground, the leaves of a tree serve as shelter and food for beneficial insects and other wildlife, contributing to a balanced ecosystem. Fallen leaves also make for great fertiliser(肥料); cut them into pieces and add them to the compost(堆肥) container to feed your garden later.
A．Recycle extra food.
B．Buy food wisely.
C．Fixing your stuff is a great way to reduce e waste.
D．There are plenty of benefits to making use of fallen leaves.
E．Find out whether local businesses are collecting them for recycling.
F．They include electronics, food, bedding and clothes, and the garden.
G．Wet leaves, which tend to burn slowly, give off more smoke than dry leaves do.
【语篇解读】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了减少日常浪费的简单方法。
1．F 上文“We all want to reduce …wasteful areas of your life. ”提到了减少生活中常见废物浪费领域的废物的策略。F项“它们包括电子产品、食品、床上用品和衣服，以及花园。”具体解释了这四个领域，符合语境。故选F项。
2．C 上文“A high repairability score … ends up in a garbage can. ” 指出有些东西可以修复，这样就不用扔掉，减少浪费。下文中的 “That's why … a repairability score. ” 表明空处介绍了一个原因，一个要求在电子产品上贴上可修复性得分的标签的理由，结合上文可以修复就可以减少浪费可推断，C项“修复你的东西是减少电子垃圾的好方法。”承上启下，符合语境。故选C项。
3．A 根据下文“After noticing that … at foodrecoverynet-work org. ”可知，本段讲述马里兰大学帕克分校的一群学生收集食堂剩余的食物，并将其捐赠给抗击饥饿的非营利组织，突出“回收多余的食物，减少浪费”的主题。A项“回收多余的食物。”适合作本段的小标题。故选A项。
4．E 下文“In recent years … reclaimed bedding and clothes. ”讲述了床上用品和衣物回收，E项中的collecting呼应下文中的gathering。E项“了解当地企业是否在收集它们进行回收利用。”符合语境。故选E项。
5．D 下文“When left on the ground …to feed your garden later(当树叶留在地面上时，它们为益虫和其他野生动物提供了庇护所和食物，有助于维持生态系统的平衡。落叶也是很好的肥料；把它们切成小块，放入堆肥容器中，以后可以用来喂养花园). ” 讲述了落叶的益处。D项“利用落叶有很多好处。”符合语境。故选D项。

One possible version：
Dear Sir or Madam，
With the development of the urbanisation，the city rubbish problem is becoming more and more serious, which pollutes our living environment and threatens our health. Facing this problem, what should we do
In my opinion，we should sort rubbish. We should reuse newspapers and glass，and we should dispose of hazardous waste. Besides, more trees should be planted to keep the air fresh. We should purify the water and make use of the waste and turn harm into good. What's more, people should recognise the importance of the city rubbish problem，and use modern methods of new control to conserve.
We are sure that we can have a better and cleaner city if we work together.
Yours，

Ⅰ. 阅读理解
(2023浙江金华十校联考期末)Researchers in Australia and the US are starting a multi million dollar project to bring the Tasmanian tiger, nicknamed thylacine(袋狼), back from extinction. The last known one died in 1939.
The team say it can be recreated using stem cells(干细胞) and gene editing(基因编辑) technology, and the first thylacine could be reintroduced to the wild in 10 years' time. They plan to take stem cells from a living species with similar DNA, and then use gene editing technology to “bring back” the extinct species — or an extremely close one of it.
It would be a great achievement for the researchers attempting it, and require a number of scientific breakthroughs.
The population of Tasmanian tigers dropped when humans arrived in Australia tens of thousands of years ago, and again when dingoes — a species of wild dog —appeared. Eventually, the species only lived free on the island of Tasmania, and was finally hunted to extinction.
If scientists were to succeed, it would mark the first “de extinction” event in history, but many outside experts doubt it, and believe that the project is more about media attention for the scientists and less about doing serious science.
The idea of bringing back the extinct has been around for more than 20 years. In 1999, the Australian Museum started to pursue a project to clone the Tasmanian tiger, and various attempts have been made ever since to get or rebuild DNA from samples. The US firm made headlines last year with its plans to use similar gene editing technology to bring the woolly mammoth back to life — a technological achievement yet to be made.
( )1．Which of the following might be the major reason for thylacine's extinction
A．Habitat loss. B．Climate change.
C．Human activities. D．Wild dog protection.
( )2．What do many outside experts think of bringing back extinct thylacine
A．It will make history.
B．It is particularly difficult.
C．It deserves greater attention.
D．It is more of a piece of eye catching news.
( )3．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A．Future for bringing back the extinct.
B．Benefits of bringing back the extinct.
C．Previous efforts to bring back the extinct.
D．Technology needed to bring back the extinct.
( )4．In which column of a magazine can we read this passage
A．Science and Technology. B．History and Traditions.
C．Nature and Environment. D．Culture and Society.
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了澳大利亚和美国的研究人员正在开展一个项目：使用干细胞和基因编辑技术来重建袋狼。
1．C 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The population of Tasmanian tigers dropped …and was finally hunted to extinction(当数万年前人类来到澳大利亚时，塔斯马尼亚虎的数量下降了，当澳洲野狗——一种野狗——出现时，塔斯马尼亚虎的数量又下降了。最终，这个物种只在塔斯马尼亚岛上自由生活，并最终被猎杀灭绝). ”可知，塔斯马尼亚虎，也就是袋狼灭绝的主要原因可能是人类活动。故选C项。
2．D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“If scientists were to succeed … and less about doing serious science(如果科学家们成功了，这将标志着历史上第一次‘灭绝动物复活’事件，但许多外部专家对此表示怀疑，并认为该项目更多地是媒体对科学家的关注，而不是做严肃的科学研究). ”可知，许多外部科学家认为恢复灭绝的袋狼更像是一条引人注目的新闻。故选D项。
3．C 段落主旨题。根据最后一段的内容可知，本段主要讲述了一些恢复灭绝物种的以前的努力。1999年，澳大利亚博物馆开始进行一项克隆塔斯马尼亚虎的项目。去年，美国公司计划利用类似的基因编辑技术让长毛象复活。故选C项。
4．A 推理判断题。通读全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了澳大利亚和美国的研究人员正在开展一个项目：使用干细胞和基因编辑技术来重建袋狼。因此推断本文最有可能来自科学技术栏目。故选A项。

Both a Biosphere Reserve and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Wuyi Shan is one of the world’s largest subtropical primordial forest systems.

Giant Panda National Park, Sichuan
China has been working hard in recent decades to reestablish the endangered giant panda, creating 67 panda reserves across Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu Provinces. The new Giant Panda National Park encompasses these reserves and is home to more than 1，000 wild pandas.
Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park
Situated in the Changbai Mountains along China’s border with Russia, this park covers the wild habitats of the big cats and has seen success in encouraging leopards and tigers to repopulate. Since 2017, 12 Siberian tiger cubs and 11 leopard cubs have been born here.

(2023湖南邵阳高一下期末)It was a day just like every other day. I woke up early in the morning and went to run on Mount Gracious with my dog, Bubbles. As I ran up the mountain, with my dog following close behind, I felt energetic and refreshed. Running in a natural environment never failed to make me feel alive. When I reached the top, I drank some water and enjoyed the beautiful sunrise. This scene always took my breath away, no matter how many times I had seen it.
Having rested enough, Bubbles and I made our way back down the mountain. As we were running downhill, I saw an unfamiliar path and decided to explore the area. The path was full of rocks. It was not easy to walk.
Suddenly, I slipped on a muddy patch, rolling down five metres before I managed to grab hold of an exposed root of a huge tree. I was safe for now. However, I was seriously injured. My knees were badly hurt. My right foot was also dislocated(脱臼). I knew for sure I would be unable to make my way up or down the mountain without help. I called out to Bubbles and he barked loudly from above. It seemed like he understood that I needed help. He looked down at me pitifully before disappearing from sight.
As night fell, panic(恐慌) set in and scary thoughts went through my mind. There were many things that I had got to do. I couldn’t die! This would not have happened if I had stuck to my usual path.
I was losing hope when I heard barking. It was Bubbles. I rubbed my eyes as I struggled to keep awake. But there was silence. Who could it be Was I hallucinating(产生幻觉) Then I heard some voices and more barking. Yes. Help was near, I knew. I could count on my dog to get help.

Soon, I heard my parents calling my name. So I began calling back. A moment later, I saw the light of a flashlight. Following my voice and with Bubbles leading the way, my parents finally found me. They looked nervous and worried. After learning I was badly hurt, my parents quickly climbed down to me. They examined my cuts and my foot and decided that I had better not walk. Then, my father carried me on his back, down the mountain and to the nearest clinic, where a doctor was waiting for us.
Later, my parents told me what Bubbles had done to get help. __________________ _______________________________________________________________________
One possible version：
Later, my parents told me what Bubbles had done to get help. He quickly ran home and waited until my parents came home from work. He barked loudly at my parents. They were confused and thought the dog might be hungry at first. So they gave Bubbles some food, but he didn’t stop barking. Suddenly, they realised I hadn’t come back home with Bubbles as usual and that I must have been in trouble. At that moment, Bubbles ran out and my parents followed him closely. Bubbles remembered the way and led my parents to the spot.UNIT 8 Period Two

(2023辽宁辽南协作校高一下期末)Sammie Vance is one extraordinary kid. The seventh grader from Indiana is collecting bottle caps to upcycle them into buddy benches for her school. Sammie learnt about buddy benches at a camp she attended one summer. At the camp there were benches set up for lonely children; they would sit down signalling to other kids that they are in need of a friend. She loved the idea and said, “It would be really cool to have the benches at my school. ”
Then she presented her idea to the Parent Teacher Association. Sammie used pictures showing how a simple bench could help classmates understand when one of their own needed a friend. The adults in the Parent Teacher Association were impressed by her initiative(新方案) and how she planned on implementing it.
Sammie found a company that turns recycled plastic caps into benches. This encouraged her. She got to work and held a community wide event asking members to bring their old bottle caps. The event alone collected 1，600 pounds of caps and with that, she created three buddy benches for her school. These buddy benches cost much less than regular park benches and are good for the environment. Sammie continued her efforts and expanded her project to create more benches for other schools.
Sammie has helped arrange 200 buddy benches in schools and neighbourhoods and she has no plans to stop. She says that even adults can use a buddy bench because people at any age can feel lonely. “For me, it’s seeing people who need a friend, because I’ve been lonely myself. I don’t want others to feel that way，” she said.
Sammie knows that kids can also do something to influence the world. “I just look forward to making a difference，” she said, “and inspiring other people to make a difference. ”
( )1．Why did Sammie Vance make buddy benches
A．To encourage kids to enjoy school life.
B．To deal with bench shortages in schools.
C．To provide a platform for kids to find friends.
D．To draw people’s attention to recyclable goods.
( )2．What was the Parent Teacher Association’s attitude to Sammie’s idea
A．Disapproving. B．Amazed.
C．Doubtful. D．Disappointed.
( )3．What can we say about Sammie’s work
A．It was a difficult process due to the lack of money.
B．It has replaced many regular park benches.
C．It had little influence on her community.
D．It gained wide support in a green way.
( )4．What is Sammie’s further plan
A．Helping more people to get rid of loneliness.
B．Improving the design of the buddy benches.
C．Trying her best to protect the environment.
D．Focusing more attention on her studies.

(2023河南三门峡高一统考期末)A device floating in the water off the coast of southern Chile aims to collect data on hearty whales to protect them from passing ships.
The first electronic buoy(浮标) was recently placed in the sea in the Gulf of Corcovado. The device is designed to listen to the sounds whales make when they communicate with each other. The animals use sounds to map their movements and to hunt. The sounds are processed by artificial intelligence(AI)-powered computer systems in an effort to identify where the animals are. This information is then sent to shipping operators to help them avoid crashing in to whales.
A non-profit organisation put the buoy in place. The group seeks to develop technology tools to provide a warning system for shipping companies. In addition to helping protect whales，the “smart” buoy also collects data on the health of the ocean and the effects of climate change. The Gulf of Corcovado is rich in sea life, including a large number of blue whales, as well as Southern right whales, which are endangered now. The population of the area’s whales is the largest during the summer season in the Southern Hemisphere.
“This is the beginning of a longer road，” said Sonia Espanol, director of organisation. She noted that her team planned to cover the gulf with at least six buoys. The buoy works by using software called Listening to the Deep Ocean Environment. The device continuously monitors ocean sounds. It uses AI to identify the kind of whales and where they are in real time. It then sends messages to nearby ships, so they can alleviate noise levels and try to avoid crashes.
The buoys also contain sensors to measure water temperatures, oxygen levels and more to predict ocean health and the effects of climate change. That information is expected to be used to help guide public environmental policies.
( )14．What does Paragraph 2 intend to tell us
A．The necessity of protecting whales.
B．The important role of whales’ sounds.
C．The unique ways of whales’ communication.
D．The working process of the electronic buoy.
( )15．What information can the buoys collect
A．The health of whales. B．The change of sea life.
C．The condition of the ocean. D．The cause of climate change.
( )16．What’s the purpose of the information collected by the buoys
A．To guide public environmental policies.
B．To improve the ocean’s oxygen levels.
C．To solve the problem of climate change.
D．To instruct passing ships to go smoothly.

The African elephant，the largest land animal remaining on Earth，is of great importance to African ecosystem. Unlike other animals，the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big plant-eater，it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna(大草原) surroundings in which it lives，therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat(栖息地).
It is the elephant’s great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day，it kills small trees and underbrushes，and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.
Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state，the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants，elephants make open spaces，allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations，the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well.
What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears，scientists say，many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna，greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.
( )17．What is the passage mainly about
A．Disappearance of African elephants.
B．Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.
C．The effect of African elephants’ search for food.
D．The eating habit of African elephants.
( )18．What does the underlined phrase “setting the terms” most probably mean
A．Fixing the time.
B．Worsening the state.
C．Improving the quality.
D．Deciding the conditions.
( )19．What do we know about the open spaces in the passage
A．They result from the destruction of rain forests.
B．They provide food mainly for African elephants.
C．They are home to many endangered animals.
D．They are attractive to plant-eating animals of different kinds.
( )20．The passage is developed mainly by ________.
A．showing the effect and then explaining the causes
B．pointing out similarities and differences
C．describing the changes in space order
D．giving examples

【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了萧山的稻鱼养殖系统。
36．who/that 考查定语从句。句意：萧山本地人吴明浩去年在6．7公顷的土地上尝试了这种联合耕作系统，他说他预计今年的收入将增加8万元。分析句子可知，“a Xiaoshan native …last year”为定语从句，先行词a Xiaoshan native指人，在定语从句中作主语，所以用关系代词who或hat引导。故填who/that。
37．to increase 考查动词不定式。句意：同上题。分析句子可知，空处作“expected his income”的补足语，应用动词不定式。故填to increase。
38．brought 考查动词-ed形式。句意：吴明浩表示，在稻田里养大的小龙虾更受消费者的欢迎，因为它们是环保的——小龙虾的排泄物可以增加土壤的自然肥力，促进水稻产量的增加。分析句子可知，句中已有谓语动are，所以此处应用非谓语动词形式。名词crayfish与动词bring之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，所以用动词-ed形式作后置定语。故填brought。
39．and 考查连词。句意：同上题。分析句子可知，此处连接两个并列成分“add natural fertility to the soil”和“ promote an increase of rice production”，应用并列连词and。故填and。
40．economic 考查形容词。句意：这些土地过去只用于种植水稻，经济效益相对较低。此处修饰名词benefits应用形容词。故填economic。
41．in 考查介词。句意：从事水产养殖业40多年的王林欢也在这片134公顷的土地上推出了合作养殖计划。短语be engaged in为固定搭配，意为“忙于；致力于”。故填in。
42．steps 考查名词的数。句意：他说，他将采取措施探索稻虾、稻龟和稻鱼的养殖模式。分析句子可知，此处作动词would take的宾语，step为可数名词，应用其复数形式，构成短语take steps to do sth，意为“采取措施做某事”。故填steps。
43．further 考查副词的比较级。句意：王说：“我们计划引入各种农业、文化和旅游项目，比如游学，以进一步激发农村发展的活力。此处修饰动词stimulate应用副词形式。再结合上下文语境可知，此处表示“进一步激发”，应用far的比较级。故填further。
44．an 考查冠词。句意：到2025年，全市预计实现水产亩产平均增产50公斤以上(0．06公顷)，水稻亩产平均增产500公斤以上，亩产增收2000元以上。名词increase为可数名词，此处表示泛指，且形容词average以元音音素开头，所以用不定冠词an。故填an。
45．raising 考查动词-ing形式。句意：同上题。分析句子可知，句中已有谓语is expected，此处应用非谓语动词形式。此处表示自然而然带来的结果，用动词-ing形式作结果状语。故填raising。

Ⅰ．七选五
Is Fresh Air Really Good for You
We all grew up hearing people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air”. __1__ According to recent studies, the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in your camping area is good.
__2__ If the air you’re breathing is clean — which it would be if you’re away from the smog of cities — then the air is filled with life-giving, energising oxygen. If you exercise out of doors, your body will learn to breathe more deeply, allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles and your brain.
Recently, people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing. __3__ In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just looking at green, growing things can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and put people into a better mood (情绪). Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. __4__ It gives us a great feeling of peace.
__5__ While the sun’s rays can age and harm our skin, they also give us beneficial Vitamin D．To make sure you get enough Vitamin D — but still protect your skin — put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that’s plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day’s worth of Vitamin D.
A．Fresh air cleans our lungs.
B．So what are you waiting for
C．Being in nature refreshes us.
D．Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.
E．But is fresh air really as good for you as people always said
F．Just as importantly, we tend to associate fresh air with health care.
G．All across the country, recovery centres have begun building Healing Gardens.
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。作者介绍了新鲜空气对身体的保健作用。
1．E 上句提到人们告诉我们应出去呼吸新鲜空气，下句的关键信息“the answer is a big YES”是对某个问题做出的回答，由此可判断空处应是一个一般疑问句，故E项“But is fresh air really as good for you as people always said？”符合语境。故选E项。
2．A 本段陈述了呼吸洁净的室外空气使身体受益，因此A项“新鲜空气清洁我们的肺。”符合语境。故选A项。
3．G 上句提到人们开始研究自然界和治愈之间的联系，G项“在全国范围内，康复中心已经开始建设康复花园。”是对上句的延伸，且下句中的“these places”指代的就是G项中的“Healing Gardens”。故选G项。
4．C 前文提到“Greenery is good for us”，C项与前文在意义上构成递进关系，解释了绿色植物为人体带来益处，且与下句“It gives us a great feeling of peace. ”意思上承接。故选C项。
5．D 本段陈述了阳光对人体的好处，因此段落主题应为D项“呼吸新鲜空气的另一个附带好处是阳光”。故选D项。
Ⅱ．语法填空

【语篇解读】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述51岁的Leonora来自菲律宾，近年来一直在用废旧材料制作女装，因为她认为穿这样的衣服既便宜又好看。
1．has made/has been making 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：一位来自菲律宾的51岁的女士Leonora，近年来一直在用废旧材料制作女装，因为她认为穿这样的衣服既便宜又好看。根据下文中的 “in recent years”可知，此处用现在完成时，也可以用现在完成进行时，后者表示这个动作能继续下去。主语Leonora是单数，所以谓语动词用单数。故填has made/has been making。
2．wearing 考查动词-ing。句意：同上题。分析句子可知，believes后面的句子为宾语从句。从句已有谓语can be且缺少主语，应用动词-ing形式。故填wearing。
3．a 考查冠词。句意：为了制作她的裙子，她用一台脚踏式缝纫机将回收的报纸、塑料包装纸和米袋等废料拼接在一起，Leonora用这些材料来制作她的设计。分析句子可知，此处表示泛指，修饰单数名词“foot-operated sewing machine”，应用不定冠词，且foot-operated以辅音音素开头，故用a。故填a。
4．with 考查介词。句意：同上题。分析句子可知，空处所在句子是“介词＋which”引导的非限制性定语从句。根据语境可知，此处表示“Leonora用这些材料来制作她的设计”，故用介词with，意为“使用”。故填with。
5．particularly 考查副词。句意：来自快递包裹的气泡包装很好看，适合好的设计，特别是用于制作婚纱。此处修饰介词短语“for making wedding dresses”应用particular的副词形式。故填particularly。
6．decoration 考查名词。句意：从婚礼装饰到生日聚会，它们也被广泛使用。分析句子可知，根据上文中的“from wedding”可知，空处应用decorate的名词形式，与名词wedding一起表示“婚礼装饰”。故填decoration。
7．is carried 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：世界上大部分的海洋垃圾都是由亚洲的河流携带的。分析句子可知，此处作谓语，主语“Most of the world’s ocean waste”与动词carry为动宾关系，又因此处描述客观事实，故用一般现在时的被动语态。主语为不可数名词，谓语用单数。故填is carried。
8．to recycle 考查动词不定式。句意：“这些裙子真的令人印象深刻。回收这些材料很重要，这样我们可以帮助我们的地球。”从Leorona那里买衣服的Lalaine说。此处考查固定句型“It is＋adj. ＋to do sth”，应用动词不定式。故填to recycle。
9．who/that 考查定语从句。句意：同上题。分析句子可知，“9._________ buys clothes from Leonora. ”为定语从句，修饰先行词Lalaine, 指人且在从句中作主语，应用关系代词who/that。故填who/that。
10．delighted 考查形容词。句意：她说：“每次它们获奖我都很开心。设计虽然简单，但是它们还是赢了。”根据上文中的“I get”可知，此处作表语，应用delight的形容词形式，表示“人感觉开心的”，应用-ed结尾的形容词。故填delighted。
