【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。一项研究预测，人类对野生动物的持续破坏将导致大自然的萎缩，动物的平均体型将下降四分之一。文章说明了采取行动保护野生动物栖息地的重要性。
1．falling 考查动词的-ing形式。句意：一项研究预测，人类对野生动物的持续破坏将导致大自然的萎缩，动物的平均体型将下降四分之一。此处为with的复合结构，size与fall之间为主动关系，因此使用动词的-ing形式作宾语补足语。故填falling。
2．that/which 考查定语从句。句意：他们说，这可能导致生态系统的崩溃，而生态系统对人类获得食物和清洁水非常重要。分析句子结构可知，这是一个定语从句，先行词是ecosystems，在从句中作主语，因此使用that或which引导定语从句。故填that或which。
3．have destroyed 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意：在过去的12.5万年里人类已经摧毁了，除非洲外所有有人居住的大陆上的大多数大型动物。根据时间状语“over the last 125，000 years”可知，此处需使用现在完成时。故填have destroyed。
4．rapidly 考查副词。句意：根据最新的研究，这种破坏将在未来几年内迅速加快。分析句子结构可知，修饰动词“speed up”应使用副词作状语。故填rapidly。
5．latest 考查形容词。句意：见上题。此处表示“最新的”，应用latest。
6．extinction 考查名词。句意：自1970年以来，动物的数量已经下降了60%，这表明地球上的第六次生物大灭绝正在进行，其原因是野生地区的破坏、狩猎和耕作。形容词mass作定语修饰名词。故填extinction。
7．in 考查介词。in danger为固定搭配，意为“处于危险之中”。
8．a 考查冠词。句意：科学家们本月表示，人类社会正处于地球自然生命保障系统下降的危险之中，现在有一半的自然生态系统被破坏，总共有一百万个物种面临灭绝的危险。a total of意为“共计”。故填a。
9．to protect 考查动词不定式。句意：如果采取完整的行动来保护野生动物的栖息地，未来的消失是可以避免的。分析句子可知，句中存在谓语动词“is taken”，因此这里使用非谓语动词，表示目的使用动词不定式。故填to protect。
10．animals 考查名词的数。句意：科学家们说可以帮助把精力集中在关键动物上。此处表示泛指所有关键的动物，因此使用名词复数形式。故填animals。
Ⅱ.阅读理解
Port Lympne Reserve，which runs a breeding(繁育) programme，has welcomed the arrival of a rare black rhino calf(犀牛幼崽).When the tiny creature arrived on January 31，she became the 40th black rhino to be born at the reserve.And officials at Port Lympne were delighted with the new arrival，especially as black rhinos are known for being difficult to breed in captivity(圈养).
Paul Beer，head of rhino section at Port Lympne，said，“Obviously we’re all absolutely delighted to welcome another calf to our black rhino family.She’s healthy，strong and already eager to play and explore.Her mother，Solio，is a first-time mum and she is doing a fantastic job.It’s still a little too cold for them to go out into the open，but as soon as the weather warms up，I have no doubt that the little one will be out and about exploring and playing every day.”
The adorable female calf is the second black rhino born this year at the reserve，but it is too early to tell if the calves will make good candidates to be returned to protected areas of the wild.The first rhino to be born at Port Lympne arrived on January 5 to first-time mother Kisima and weighed about 32kg.His mother，grandmother and great grandmother were all born at the reserve and still live there.
According to the World Wildlife Fund，the global black rhino population has dropped as low as 5,500，giving the rhinos a “critically endangered” status.
1．Which of the following best describes the breeding programme
A．Costly. B．Controversial.
C．Ambitious. D．Successful.
2．What does Paul Beer say about the new-born rhino
A．She loves staying with her mother.
B．She dislikes outdoor activities.
C．She is in good condition.
D．She is sensitive to heat.
3．What similar experience do Solio and Kisima have
A．They had their first born in January.
B．They enjoyed exploring new places.
C．They lived with their grandmothers.
D．They were brought to the reserve young.
4．What can be inferred about Port Lympne Reserve
A．The rhino section will be open to the public.
B．It aims to control the number of the animals.
C．It will continue to work with the World Wildlife Fund.
D．Some of its rhinos may be sent to the protected wild areas.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了保护和繁育濒临灭绝的黑犀牛。
1．D 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“as black rhinos are known for being difficult to breed in captivity(圈养)”可知，黑犀牛以难以圈养繁殖而闻名，而繁育计划成功迎来了一只稀有的黑犀牛幼崽，由此可推断该计划是“成功的(successful)”。故选D项。
2．C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“She’s healthy，strong and already eager to play and explore.”可知，犀牛幼崽健康、强壮，并且渴望玩耍和探索。由此可知，犀牛幼崽身体状态良好。故选C项。
3．A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When the tiny creature arrived on January 31”和第三段中的“The first rhino to be born at Port Lympne arrived on January 5 to first-time mother Kisima”可知，Solio和Kisima都是在一月份生下它们的第一只犀牛幼崽的。故选A项。
4．D 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“...but it is too early to tell if the calves will make good candidates to be returned to protected areas of the wild.”可知，要判断这些小犀牛是否会成为返回野生保护区的优秀候选者还为时过早。由此可推断，Port Lympne保护区中的一些犀牛可能会被送到野生保护区。故选D项。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2023广东清远四校联考)Our Earth’s oceans contain some of the most valuable resources.As the use of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions began to rise in popularity，the polluting of the Earth’s oceans did as well，leaving lifelong effects on all of its ecosystems.
Commercial whaling has left several whale species in danger of extinction.The blue whales of the Antarctic have less than one percent of their original numbers.Over 90 percent of plastic isn’t recycled，and a large part of that number finds its way into the ocean and surrounding beaches.The huge amount of plastic damages whales’ existence.Plastic is being eaten by sea life as well as entangling(缠住) them，putting them all at major risk.Without change，our Earth’s oceans will not be able to continue on for much longer.
The Delta Corporation was set up in 1972，later known as Ocean Conservancy.In the beginning years of Ocean Conservancy，its main initiative(倡议) was the Whale Protection Fund.This fund focused on saving the species and protesting against commercial whaling.They gained the support of many.
Ten years later，the International Whaling Commission finally banned commercial whaling.It then changed its focus to not only whales but to seals and sea turtles as well.Though they made great progress with these animals，they came to the conclusion that these animals cannot develop well without a healthy，sustainable environment.The workers of Ocean Conservancy then expanded their focus to the marine ecosystems and habitats.
Ocean Conservancy is one of several organisations working toward a common goal: saving the Earth’s oceans.They have started doing this by creating the Whale Protection movement that still exists.Though they have made significant progress throughout the years，there is still much to be done.Only when the common goal is shared by all groups，governments，and individuals，will real changes be made.If successful，the electric bicycle meal program will be spread to all Crowne Plaza hotels in the UK，the hotel said in a statement.
1．What can we know about the plastic from Paragraph 2
A．Plastic reduces the population of whales to the least.
B．Most of plastic ends up in oceans and sandy beaches.
C．Plastic has become part of the sea animals’ diet.
D．Recycling plastic is still a big challenge.
2．What made Ocean Conservancy pay attention to the ocean ecosystem
A．A ban on whaling.
B．Its improved concept.
C．Its great achievement.
D．The public support.
3．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Quite a few organisations have set their own goals.
B．The days of Whale Protection movement are numbered.
C．Ocean Conservancy’s work isn’t worth the praise.
D．Saving the oceans is the shared responsibility of the whole world.
4．What can be the best title for the text
A．Ocean Conservancy’s Target and Development
B．Ocean Conservancy’s Contribution to Oceans’ Protecting
C．A Solution to the Oceans’ Plastic Problems
D．A Step Away from a Healthy Ecosystem
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要以海洋保护协会(Ocean Conservancy)为话题，介绍了其从最初的保护鲸鱼到后来成为保护海洋的发展历程和成绩。
1．C 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Plastic is being eaten by sea life as well as entangling(缠住) them，putting them all at major risk.”可知，塑料会被海洋生物吃掉，即海洋生物把塑料当作食物。故选C项。
2．B 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“Though they made great progress with these animals，they came to the conclusion that these animals cannot develop well without a healthy，sustainable environment.The workers of Ocean Conservancy then expanded their focus to the marine ecosystems and habitats.”可知，海洋保护协会认识到健康且可持续的环境才能让动物很好地发展，于是，不再只是关注海洋动物，而是将工作重点扩大到海洋生态系统和栖息地。也就是说，是协会理念的提升和完善让海洋保护协会关注海洋生态系统。故选B项。
3．D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“Only when the common goal is shared by all groups，governments，and individuals，will real changes be made.”可知，只有当所有团体、政府和个人共同为“拯救海洋”这一目标而努力时，才会产生真正的有效变化。由此可推知，拯救海洋是全世界的共同责任。故选D项。
4．B 标题归纳题。根据第三段中的“The Delta Corporation was set up in 1972，later known as Ocean Conservancy.”可知，文章以海洋保护协会为话题介绍其成立的初衷“保护鲸鱼”，后来发展成为“保护海洋生态”的组织的过程以及取得的成绩。B项“Ocean Conservancy’s Contribution to Oceans’ Protecting(海洋保护协会对海洋保护的贡献)”贴合主题，可作标题。故选B项。
Ⅱ.七选五
You run into the grocery store to pick up one bottle of water.You get what you need，head to the front，and choose the line that looks fastest.
You chose wrong.People who you swear got in other lines long after you are already checked out and off to the parking lot.__1__
It turns out，it’s just math working against you；chances are，the other line really is faster.
Grocery stores try to have enough employees at checkout to get all their customers through with minimum delay.__2__ Any small interruption — a price check，a chatty customer — can have downstream effects，holding up an entire line.
If there are three lines in the store，delays will happen randomly at different registers.Think about the probability: __3__ So it’s not just in your mind: Another line probably is moving faster.
Researchers have a good way to deal with this problem.Make all customers stand in one long，snaking line — called a serpentine line — and serve each person at the front with the next available register.__4__ This is what they do at most banks and fast-food restaurants.With a serpentine line，a long delay at one register won’t unfairly punish the people who lined up behind it.Instead，it will slow down everyone a little bit but speed up checkout overall.
__5__ It takes many registers to keep one line moving quickly，and some stores can’t afford the space or manpower.So wherever your next wait may be: Good luck.
A．Why does this always seem to happen to you
B．So why don’t most places encourage serpentine lines
C．Some of them may have stood in a queue for almost an hour.
D．The chances of your line being the fastest are only one in three.
E．How high is the probability that you are in the fastest waiting line
F．With three registers，this method is much faster than the traditional approach.
G．But sometimes，as on a Sunday afternoon，the system gets particularly busy.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了杂货店排队方式以及研究人员提出的蛇形队伍的新方式，并分析了各自的利弊。
1．A 下文“It turns out，it’s just math working against you；chances are，the other line really is faster.”解释了上文“You chose wrong.”的原因，下文与空格处是因果关系，所以本空应该是对前文提出疑惑。故选A项。
2．G 上文“Grocery stores try to have enough employees at checkout to get all their customers through with minimum delay.”解释了杂货店之前的工作模式，下文“Any small interruption — a price check，a chatty customer－can have downstream effects，holding up an entire line.”描述了杂货店的特殊情况，故本空应该填出现特殊情况的原因。故选G项。
3．D 根据上文“If there are three lines in the store，delays will happen randomly at different registers.”联系下文“So it’s not just in your mind: Another line probably is moving faster.”可知，本空说的是任何一个队伍都有可能出现问题。你的队伍跑得最快的概率只有三分之一。故选D项。
4．F 根据上文“Researchers have a good way to deal with this problem.”以及下文“This is what they do at most banks and fast-food restaurants.With a serpentine line，a long delay at one register won’t unfairly punish the people who lined up behind it.Instead，it will slow down everyone a little bit but speed up checkout overall.”说明这个新方案迅速有效，联系上下文可知，空格中应该是与旧的结账方案作比较。故选F项。
5．B 结合下文“It takes many registers to keep one line moving quickly，and some stores can’t afford the space or manpower.”说明了一个原因，由此可知，空格处提出了一个问题；通过“It takes many registers to keep one line moving quickly.”可知，这里描述的是不鼓励蛇形队伍的原因。故选B项。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一位美国教授为了应对气候变化，积极减少学术活动中的飞机旅行。
1．who/that 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，本句为定语从句，从句中缺少主语，指人，应用关系代词。故填that/who。
2．is viewed/has been viewed 考查被动语态和主谓一致。此处是在描述人们普遍认知的事情，故用一般现在时，也可以是强调人们从过去到现在的认知，主语“Travelling...and the like”与谓语动词(view)之间存在被动关系。故填is viewed/has been viewed。
3．are 考查时态和主谓一致。结合上下文内容，尤其是本句中的时间状语now和空后的questioning可知，此处应该用现在进行时，且主语“Cobb and others”为复数，因此be动词用are。故填are。
4．changing 考查动词的-ing形式。分析句子结构可知，此处的连词and连接并列动词pushing和change，空处应用动词的-ing形式。故填changing。
5．roughly 考查副词。分析句子成分可知，空格处需用副词roughly修饰数词，表示“粗略地，大约”之意。故填roughly。
6．have promised 考查时态和主谓一致。根据时间状语“since the effort started two years ago”可知，主句应使用现在完成时。故填have promised。
7．for 考查介词。“for her party”在此处意为“对于她的出席”。故填for。
8．the 考查冠词。此处的“大约四分之三的时间”为特指，应用定冠词。故填the。
9．invitation 考查名词。分析句子结构可知，空格处需用名词作动词declined的宾语。故填invitation。
10．to continue 考查动词不定式。plan to do sth意为“计划做某事”，为固定搭配。故填to continue。UNIT 3 Period Six

4．B 考查副词辨析。根据空后的“took twenty minutes.That morning，however，the process didn’t __5__ quickly.After forty minutes of...”可以推断出这一过程进展不快，说明二十分钟是“通常情况”下所需要的时间，因此应该用副词normally。故选B项。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2022年1月浙江高考)The United States rose to global power on the strength of its technology，and the lifeblood that technology has long been electricity.By providing long-distance communication and energy，electricity created the modern world.Yet properly understood，the age of electricity is merely the second stage in the age of steam，which began a century earlier.
“It is curious that no one has put together a history of both the steam and electric revolutions，” writes Maury Klein in his book The Power Makers，Steam，Electricity，and the Men Invented Modern America. Klein，a noted historian of technology，spins a narrative so lively that at times it reads like a novel.
The story begins in the last years of the 18th century in Scotland，where Watt perfected “the machine that changed the world”．Klein writes，“America did not invent the steam engine，but once they grasped its passwords they put it to more uses than anyone else.”
Meanwhile，over the course of 19th century，electricity went from mere curiosity to a basic necessity.Morse invented a code for sending messages over an electromagnetic circuit.Bell then gave the telegraph a voice.Edison perfected an incandescent bulbs that brought electric light into the American home.
Most importantly，Edison realised that success depended on mass electrification，which he showed in New York City.With help from Tesla，Westinghouse’s firm developed a system using alternating current，which soon became the major forms of power delivery.
To frame his story，Klein creates the character of Ned，a fictional witness to the progress brought about by the steams and electric revolutions in America during one man’s lifetime.It’s a technique that helps turn a long narrative into an interesting one.
1．What is Klein’s understanding of the age of electricity
A．It is closely linked to the steam age.
B．It began earlier than proper thought.
C．It is a little-studied period of history.
D．It will come to an end sooner or later.
2．What can be inferred about Ned
A．He was born in New York City.
B．He wrote many increasing stories.
C．He created an electricity company.
D．He lived mainly in the 19th century.
3．What is the text about
A．A biography. B．A book review.
C．A short story. D．A science report.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。一位名叫Maury Klein的美国历史学家，写了一本有关蒸汽、电力改变十九世纪的美国乃至全人类的书。本文对该书中介绍的年代和发明以及作者的写作手法进行了阐述和评论。
1．A 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“It is curious that no one has put together a history of both the steam and electric revolutions...”可知，没有人把蒸汽和电力革命的历史放在一起这一点令作者感到惊奇。据此可知，在Klein看来，电力时代和蒸汽时代是有很紧密的联系的。故选A项。
2．D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“To frame his story，Klein creates the character of Ned，a fictional witness to the progress brought about by the steams and electric revolutions in America during one man’s lifetime.”可知，为了勾勒出他的故事，Klein创造了人物Ned，他是对美国蒸汽和电力革命进程的见证；再根据第四段中的“...over the course of 19th century，electricity went from mere curiosity to a basic necessity.”可知，在十九世纪，电力从(人们对之)好奇变成了必需品。综合以上内容可知，Ned见证了蒸汽时代和电力革命，因此，他应该是生活在十九世纪。故选D项。
3．B 推理判断题。统览全文内容可知，本文中提到了书的名称及其写作手法，并且阐述了这本书的内容；同时作者还评价了其写作手法。据此可知，这篇文章应该是一篇书评。故选B项。

Given Europe’s high concentration of gorgeous big cities and world-class art museums，it is easy to completely overlook the continent’s abundance of small，quiet villages and towns.However，if you are after relaxation，peaceful country walks，beautiful architecture and opportunities for cultural appreciation on your next trip across the pond，consider cutting down some of your city time and head out to a village instead.Here are four of the most charming villages in Europe，along with our top picks for places to stay in each.
Eze in Cota D’Azur，France
Set on a hilltop overlooking the Mediterranean Sea，the Provencal township of Eze is easily one of the most picturesque spots in the region.It is largely a tourist destination，and many of its buildings dates back to the Middle Age.In fact，Eze is particularly popular with couples seeking romantic solitude.
Hotel pick: Chateau de la Chevre
Baden-Baden in Wurttemberg，Germany
Germany’s best-known spa town，Baden-Baden，in the Black Forest of Baden-Wurttemberg，has been a popular spot for soaking in mineral-rich waters off and on since the Roman era.And while spa treatments and hot springs are still among the most popular draws for tourists，there are also plenty of museums，gardens，performing arts venues and charming old buildings and churches.
Hotel pick: Hotel Belle Epoque
Montepulciano in Tuscany，Italy
Spread over a hilltop nearly 2，000 metres above sea level，the Tuscan village of Montepulciano offers gorgeous Renaissance architecture as well as opportunities to visit wine companies.Surrounded by strong walls dating back to the 14th century，the village features a handful of churches and public squares.
Hotel pick: Etruria Resort
Oia in Santorini，Greece
Oia is undoubtedly the most charming village on the beautiful Greek island of Santorini.This oft-photographed cliffside town is best known as a sunset-viewing spot，but it is fantastic any time of day thanks to its abundance of typical whitewashed structures topped with blue domes plus its fabulous views out onto the Aegean Sea.
Hotel pick: Hotel Aspaki

1．D 细节理解题。根据Eze in Cota D’Azur，France部分中的最后一句“In fact，Eze is particularly popular with couples seeking romantic solitude.”可知，Eze尤其受到追求浪漫单独相处的夫妇的欢迎，所以新婚夫妇最可能选择度蜜月的村庄是Eze。故选D项。
2．A 细节理解题。根据Montepulciano in Tuscany，Italy部分可知，蒙特普齐亚诺有华丽的文艺复兴建筑，而且这个村落环绕着可以追溯到十四世纪的坚固的城墙，村子里有几座教堂和广场。因此，这个村庄区别于其他的村庄的原因是可欣赏到文艺复兴时期的建筑风格。故选A项。
3．B 文章出处题。根据文章第一段提到，鉴于欧洲高度集中的大城市和世界级的艺术博物馆，人们很容易完全忽略大陆上众多小而安静的村庄和城镇，以及下文分别介绍了几个国家的最迷人的村庄可知，这篇文章最有可能出现在《国家地理杂志》。故选B项。

The Mississippi is a romantic river whose relationship with man goes back beyond its discovery by the Spaniards in the 16th century.Indians used the river as a highway and as a source of food，and it was they who gave it its name — “misi”，meaning “great” and “sipi” meaning “water”．
When the length of its great tributary(支流)，the Missouri，is added to it，the Mississippi becomes the third longest river in the world.From the source of the Missouri to the tip of the delta(三角洲)，it is 2，480 miles long.Its head waters have been compared to a healthy，thick-branched tree，healthy because its main branches，or tributaries，are navigable for most of their length.
The Indians paddled up and down the river in their canoes.The first streamer was launched in 1810.It had a single great paddle-wheel at the stern，and was known as a “paddle-wheeler”．Throughout the 19th century these unique ships were queens of the Mississippi.They have become part of American history and American literature.The noted writer，Mark Twain，immortalised(使不朽) the river in his greatest novel，Huckleberry Finn，and Oscar Hammerstein immortalised it in his song，Old Man River，which was made popular all over the world by the great black American singer and actor，Paul Robeson.
4．The Mississippi was discovered by the ________.
A．Americans B．Indians
C．Spaniards D．Queens of the Mississippi
5．Indians gave ________ the name “misi and sipi” meaning “great water”．
A．the Mississippi B．the Missouri
C．the tributary D．the delta
6．Because most of the Mississippi’s length can be navigated，it has been compared to a ________.
A．branch B．river
C．paddle D．tree
7．During the________ century the single paddle-wheel ships were queens of the Mississippi.
A．16th B．19th
C．17th D．15th
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了密西西比河的名字来源、基本概况及其他相关的信息。
4．C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The Mississippi is a romantic river whose relationship with man goes back beyond its discovery by the Spaniards in the 16th century.”可知，密西西比河是西班牙人发现的。故选C项。
5．A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Indians used the river as a highway and as a source of food，and it was they who gave it its name — ‘misi’，meaning ‘great’ and ‘sipi’ meaning ‘water’．”可知，印第安人把这条河作为一条高速公路和一个食物来源，是他们给它起了名字——“misi”，意思是“伟大的”，“sipi”意思是“水”。由此可知，印第安人给密西西比河命名为“misi and sipi”，意思是“伟大的水”。故选A项。
6．D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Its head waters have been compared to a healthy，thick-branched tree，healthy because its main branches，or tributaries，are navigable for most of their length.”可知，它的源头被比作一棵健康的、粗壮的树，之所以健康是因为它的主要分支或支流在大部分长度上都是可以航行的。由此可知，因为密西西比河的大部分长度都可以航行，它被比作一棵树。故选D项。
7．B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Throughout the 19th century these unique ships were queens of the Mississippi.”可知，整个19世纪，这些独特的船只都是密西西比河的女王。由此可知，在19世纪，单桨轮船是密西西比河的女王。故选B项。

(安康市2022学年度高一年级期末质量联考)The Forbidden City is well known for being full of Chinese cultural and historical relics.But Masters in the Forbidden City(《我在故宫修文物》) does not just focus on the stories of the past.
Instead，the documentary movie focuses on ordinary people — the restorers(修复者) of relics and antiquities.
The stories are told at a slow and relaxed pace，reflecting the restorers’ work.Restoration of cultural relics and antiques can be time-consuming，and sometimes boring.Yet these restorers’ patience and peace of mind are especially precious in a society where everything is changing so fast.
“If you choose this job，you have to stand hours of work sitting on a chair.You need to be quiet and get used to being quiet，” says Wang Jin，an ancient clock repair expert.
A touching part of the documentary is the spirit of craftsmanship(工艺) in the restorers.“Years of humdrum_work requires not only skill，but also faith and spirit，” China Daily commented.“Looking for precision and perfection，devoting yourself to work，patience，endurance(忍耐)，loneliness...All these qualities come from the craftsman spirit.”
But unlike the popular idea of serious experts who sit around being serious，the documentary shows off the enthusiasm of the restorers.They play their guitars and make jokes about each other after a long day of restoration work.
One scene that has been very popular with Internet users features a young female restorer riding a bicycle through the empty Forbidden City on a Monday.While she is doing this，a narrator says，“The last person to do this was Puyi，the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty.”
Masters in the Forbidden City has proved wrong many people’s ideas about antique restorers，allowing them to realise that they are not old，dull professors，but people in their 40s，30s and even 20s who can be quite pleasing to the eye.
8．According to the text，what’s the main purpose of the documentary Masters in the Forbidden City
A．To show people how antiques are restored.
B．To display relics seldom seen by ordinary people.
C．To draw attention to Chinese antique restorers’ lives.
D．To praise the craftsmanship of Chinese antique restorers.
9．What can we learn from what Wang Jin says in Paragraph 4
A．He often gets tired with his work.
B．There is no need to do restoration work fast.
C．Antique restorers need to be patient and peaceful.
D．It takes years of hard work to adapt to antique restoration.
10．What does the underlined word “humdrum” in Paragraph 5 mean
A．Boring. B．Different.
C．Relaxing. D．Unusual.
11．What is the purpose of the bicycle-riding scene in the documentary
A．To remind the audience of the last Qing emperor.
B．To show the strange hobbies of young antique restorers.
C．To encourage the young to consider a career in antique restoration in the future.
D．To show that the documentary breaks from the old，dull image of antique restorers.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了纪录片《我在故宫修文物》反映的中国古董修复师的工匠精神。
8．C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Instead，the documentary movie focuses on ordinary people — the restorers(修复者) of relics and antiquities.”可知，纪录片《我在故宫修文物》的主要目的是让人们关注中国古董修复师的生活。故选C项。
9．C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Yet these restorers’ patience and peace of mind are especially precious in a society where everything is changing so fast.”以及第四段中王津的话可知，古董修复师需要耐心和平和。故选C项。
10．A 词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“If you choose this job，you have to stand hours of work sitting on a chair.You need to be quiet and get used to being quiet”可知，古董修复师的工作需要长时间安静地坐着。根据第五段中的“Looking for precision and perfection，devoting yourself to work，patience，endurance(忍耐)，loneliness...”可知，古董修复师的工作需要耐心和忍耐，是很孤独的。所以古董修复师的工作是单调的、无聊的。因此humdrum意为“枯燥无聊的”，与boring同义。故选A项。
11．D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Masters in the Forbidden City has proved wrong many people’s ideas about antique restorers，allowing them to realise that they are not old，dull professors，but people in their 40s，30s and even 20s who can be quite pleasing to the eye.”可知，纪录片中骑行场景的目的是为了表明这部纪录片打破了古董修复者陈旧呆板的形象。故选D项。

Since the first Earth Day in 1970，Americans have gotten a lot “greener” towards the environment.“We didn’t know at that time there was even an environment，let alone that there was a problem with it，” says Bruce Anderson，president of Earth Day USA．
But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement. Business people，political leaders，university professors，and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement.“The understanding has increased many，many times，” says Gaylord Nelson，the former governor of Wisconsin，who thought up the first.According to the US government reports，emissions(排放) from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 tons.The number of cities producing CO2 beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9.Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with，the world is a safer and healthier place.A kind of “Green thinking” has become part of practice.
Great improvement has been achieved.In 1988，there were only 600 recycling programs.In 1995，there were about 6，600.Advanced lights，motors，and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.
Twenty-five years ago，there were hardly any education programs for environment.Today，it’s hard to find a public school，university，or law school that does not have such a kind of program. “Until we do that，nothing else will change！” says Bruce Anderson.
12．According to Anderson，before 1970，Americans had little idea about ________．
A．the social movement B．recycling techniques
C．environmental problems D．the importance of Earth Day
13．Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from
A．The grass-roots level. B．The business circle.
C．Government officials. D．University professors.
14．What have Americans achieved in environmental protection
A．They have cut car emissions to the lowest.
B．They have settled their environmental problems.
C．They have lowered their CO2 levels in forty cities.
D．They have reduced pollution through effective measures.
15．What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph
A．Education. B．Planning.
C．Green living. D．CO2 reduction.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。从1970年第一个世界地球日成立以来，美国的环境问题有了很大的改善。以前在公共事物中无足轻重的环境问题现在成了一项社会关注的问题，从科学家到大学教授再到普通百姓都有了环保意识。此外作者还指出教育在这种变化方面也起着非常重要的作用。
12．C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“‘We didn’t know at that time there was even an environment，let alone that there was a problem with it，’ says Bruce Anderson，president of Earth Day USA．”可知，在1970年世界地球日开始的时候，人们甚至都不知道有这样一个环境，更不要说知道存在着环境问题了。因此，在此之前人们都没有意识到环境问题。故选C项。
13．A 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“Business people，political leaders，university professors，and especially millions of grass-roots Americans...”可知，商人、政界领导、大学教授，尤其是平民百姓们都参与到了保护环境的运动中来。由此判断保护环境的支持主要来自草根阶层。故选A项。
14．D 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段中的“In 1988，there were only 600 recycling programs...and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.”可知，回收工作的改进，先进产品和住房设计的研制开发等措施都有效地减少了污染，改善了环境。由此推断美国人已经通过有效的方法减少了污染的排放。故选D项。
15．A 细节理解题。作者在文章最后一段提到，目前几乎每所学校都有关于环境保护的课程，而且通过最后Bruce Anderson说的话“Until we do that，nothing else will change！”可知，教育在改变人们保护环境意识和改善环境问题方面至关重要。故选A项。

An Act of Neighbourliness
The skies were dark.A strong wind was blowing hard，cutting my face like a sharp knife.Rain fell in big drops and thunder and lightning flashed across the skies.I shook with cold and fear as I walked home，through the streams of muddy water.Some people were rushing by，completely wet in the heavy rain.
Along the way，I saw some schoolchildren holding their heavy schoolbags tightly and rushing home.I also saw that some road repair work had been abandoned by workers.Obviously，the workers had left in a hurry because of the storm.There were few signs and it was hard to see what was on the road.There were pieces of wood and metal and it looked like a hole had been dug and hurriedly covered with boards.
I moved on but suddenly stopped as I heard some sounds.It sounded like children crying.I quickly turned back and went back to the place from where the sounds came.I was frightened! To my sadness，I found that a small child had fallen into a hole on the road.The boards had moved away with the force of the rushing water.I could hardly see the child as it was dark all around me.I told him that I was going to look for help.I knew the neighbours well，and they all shared a sense of neighbourliness，willing to give a hand.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Actually，I was not sure of what to do or where to go but decided to go to the nearest house for help.____________________________________________________________________________
One possible version：
Actually，I was not sure of what to do or where to go but decided to go to the nearest house for help.I charged away to knock on the door on end.After a while，an athletic man of medium height opened the door.Panicked as I was，I attempted to collect my thoughts，trying to explain the situation in the way as concise as possible.While calming me by patting my shoulder，the man reached over to grab the torch on the shoe cabinet near the door.No sooner had we arrived where the child was trapped than the man started to scan the surroundings.Then he inched toward the hole and stretched out to seize the child’s hands，pulling him out completely.Shortly afterwards，we sent the child to the nearest police station and waited for his parents.
The parents of the child who had just arrived from work were totally shocked to hear what had happened._______________________________________________________________________
One possible version：
The parents of the child who had just arrived from work were totally shocked to hear what had happened.They were more than grateful and thanked us.With an outpouring of relief，I was also proud of myself，as I had never imagined I would be part of a rescue party and the act of neighbourliness could really make such a difference.While the mother and the father were holding the child tightly，I spotted the man beaming at the child with softness gleaming in his eyes.I was absorbed in my wild thoughts，wondering whether he was also a tender father.All of a sudden，thunder crashed overhead，which brought me back to reality.I walked to the man and tugged his sleeve，whispering，“Thank you.” I would never forget the good feeling of helping someone in need.UNIT 3 Period Three

Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2023山东潍坊期中)In the 2010s，34-year-old Brianne Miller travelled around the world and made a surprising discovery: large amounts of plastic littering the water and doing harm to sea life.Miller knew she needed to do something.
Canadians throw out three million tons of plastic waste each year.Groups like A Greener Future，which organise litter clean-ups across Canada，think that 33% of what they pick up comes from food packaging.About one third of food produced worldwide goes to waste too，according to a UN study.Miller decided to solve the problem at the source，imagining a shop where both wasteful packaging and the bad habit of wasting food no longer existed.
In June 2018，she opened her first zero-waste store in Canada.She named it Nada.Customers can bring their own containers，though it’s not necessary: by the front door are quarrels don’t go that far.These days，especially in cities，many people live in buildings.Our neighbours are all around us — so what problems can come from that
The first obvious cause of argument is noise pollution.Loud noise through the walls，construction or people arguing next door can disturb the silence of your living space.Asking someone directly to turn the music down can cause you to feel anxious.However，if you get someone like a building manager to speak to your neighbour，it can make things more awkward because you didn’t speak to your neighbour directly.
And then what about smells？If your neighbour likes eating food with pungent(刺激性的) smells，and the smells flow through your window，what can you do？There are some other common problems，such as water running through the wall，pets making noise，and littering from the window above you.These can bring anger over time.
It’s not easy living next door to someone，especially if they’re noisy.But having a clear and honest conversation might help.Also，try thinking if what you are doing could make your neighbours angry.If it’s something that would make you feel bad，maybe think again.
1．Why does the author mention the figures in Paragraph 2
A．To present a fact.
B．To provide an example.
C．To explain a topic.
D．To make a comparison.
2．What are you advised to do if a neighbour makes too much noise
A．Turn to the police.
B．Talk to the neighbour directly.
C．Quarrel with the neighbour.
D．Ask the building manager for help.
3．What can we infer about a neighbour’s pungent food smells
A．They provide you pleasure.
B．They open your imagination.
C．They’re your neighbour’s favourites.
D．They make you uncomfortable.
4．What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．How to make a neighbour happy.
B．How to deal with a noisy neighbour.
C．How to communicate with a neighbour.
D．How to get along well with a neighbour.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了三十四岁的Brianne Miller 发现了大量的塑料垃圾散落在水中，对海洋生物造成危害。她决定做一些事来保护环境。
1．A 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Canadians throw out three million tons of plastic waste each year.Groups like A Greener Future，which organise litter clean-ups across Canada，think that 33% of what they pick up comes from food packaging.About one third of food produced worldwide goes to waste too，according to a UN study.”可知，作者通过列举数字来表明人们对环境的破坏程度的事实。故选A项。
2．B 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“It’s not easy living next door to someone，especially if they’re noisy.But having a clear and honest conversation might help.”可知，当你的邻居很吵的时候，和邻居有一次清晰且真诚的对话可能会有所帮助。故选B项。
3．D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第二句“If your neighbour likes eating food with pungent(刺激性的) smells，and the smells flow through your window，what can you do？”及最后一句“These can bring anger over time.”可知，当邻居家的刺激性的食物味道从窗户进入到我们家里，时间久了，会让我们感到愤怒，即会让我们感到不舒适。故选D项。

Whenever Michael Carl，the fashion market director at Vanity Fair，goes out to dinner with friends，he plays something called the “phone stack” game: Everyone __1__ their phones in the middle of the table；whoever looks at their device before the check arrives picks up the tab(账单).
Brandon Holley，the former editor of Lucky magazine，had trouble __2__ her mobile phone when she got home from work.So about six months ago，she __3__ putting her phone into a milk tin the moment she walked in.It remains there until after dinner.And Mare Jacobs，the fashion designer，didn’t __4__ to sleep close to a buzzing gadget(小装置).So he __5__ digital devices from his bedroom — a house rule he __6__ with audiences during a recent screening of Disconnect，a film that shows how technology has alienated(使疏远) people from one another.
As smart phones __7__ to make their way into our lives，and wearable devices threaten to destroy our personal space even further.Whether it’s a physical __8__(no pads at the dinner table) or a conceptual(精神上的) one (turn off devices by 11 pm)，users say these disconnecting techniques are improving their relationships.
“Disconnecting is a luxury that we all __9__，” said Lesley M．M.Blume，a writer who keeps her phone away from the dinner table at home.“The expectation that we must always be __10__ to employers，colleagues and family creates a real problem in trying to __11__ private time.But that private time is more important than ever.”
A popular method for disconnecting is to choose a box for your cellphone，like the milk tin that Ms Holley uses.“__12__ my phone is buzzing or lighting up，it’s still a distraction，so it goes in the box.” said Ms Holley.Others choose new orders.“No screens after 11 pm” said Ari.Melber，a TV host.“Now evenings are more __13__ and I am sleeping better，” he added.
Sleep is a big factor，which is why some __14__ to leave their phones out of their bedrooms.“I don’t want to sleep next to something full of photos and e-mails.” said Peterson，a fashion designer，who keeps his phone charging in the living room overnight.“It __15__ is a head-clearer and distinguishes daytime and sleep time.”

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A company in San Francisco，California，has found a way to turn used plastic bottles into women’s shoes.
Every day，millions of Americans drink water and other liquids from plastic bottles.More than 60 million of them are thrown away each day.Many of the plastic bottles end up in landfills or are burned with other waste products.
A San Francisco start-up company called Rothy’s，however，turns this plastic waste into environmentally friendly shoes.Roth Martin is the company’s co-founder.He explains how they turn plastic into soft material for women’s feet.They take the plastic，clean it，and break it down into small pieces.Then they press them through a device that makes soft fibers.Those fibers are then combined together.This is done by a 3D machine.It is designed to reduce waste while making the shoes.The knitted stuff and the inner part of the shoe are then attached to the shoe’s outer part，called the sole(鞋底).This outer sole is also made from environmentally friendly material: responsibly sourced no-carbon rubber.
Rothy’s shoes are sold online.They are flat shoes，with either a rounded or pointed toe.They come in different colours and designs.They cost either $125 or $145 per pair，depending on the design.After American actress Gwyneth Paltrow discovered them last year，the demand for the shoes grew.Martin says there is no shortage of material to fill that demand.“We’re not going to run out of water bottles any time soon.So we have a limitless supply of material，and I think that is a good sign for our future.” When the environmentally friendly shoes wear out，customers can return them at no cost to a company that uses the recycled materials to make other products.
For now，the shoes are only available to be shipped in the United States.However，the company says it will add international shipping in the near future.
1．How are used plastic bottles dealt with
A．They are buried or burned.
B．They are used to make shoes.
C．They are changed into soft materials.
D．They are returned to factories for reuse.
2．What does the underlined word “knitted” in the third paragraph mean
A．Attached. B．Fixed.
C．Combined. D．Repaired.
3．What is the purpose of the text
A．To advertise a new kind of shoes.
B．To describe the process of making shoes.
C．To introduce a new way of recycling plastic waste.
D．To stress the importance of environmental protection.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种回收塑料垃圾的新方法。
1．A 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Many of the plastic bottles end up in landfills or are burned with other waste products.”可知，废弃塑料瓶的处理方法是被埋葬或焚烧。故选A项。
2．C 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“Those fibers are then combined together(这些纤维结合在一起).”和“This is done by a 3D machine.It is designed to reduce waste while making the shoes(它的设计目的是在制造鞋子的同时减少浪费).”以及“The knitted stuff and the inner part of the shoe are then attached to the shoe’s outer part，called the sole(这些编织的东西和鞋的内部被连接到鞋的外部，叫作鞋底).”可推出，画线词的意思是“结合的”。故选C项。
3．C 目的意图题。根据第一段“A company in San Francisco，California，has found a way to turn used plastic bottles into women’s shoes(加利福尼亚旧金山的一家公司发现了一种把用过的塑料瓶变成女鞋的方法).”可知，本文是为了介绍一种回收塑料垃圾的新方法。故选C项。
Ⅱ.七选五
(2022辽宁沈阳月考)The first Earth Day was an inspiration.On that day in 1970，20 million people turned out to demand the protection and restoration of the Earth，air，water，forests，natural lands，and species that support，sustain and enrich every aspect of our lives.But in recent years，Earth Day hasn’t had quite the same impact.___1__ More importantly，it is our common duty to support and defend the Earth every day，not just on Earth Day.Here are two simple but meaningful things you can do that will help protect the Earth for present and future generations.
___2__ When you picked up your morning coffee，did it come in a disposable(一次性的)cup？Out shopping，did you take your purchases home in a plastic bag ___3__ Next time，plan ahead.Have your own cups，bottles，and bags ready when you need them.This simple act benefits not only the environment but also your own health in important ways.
___4__ Reducing your trash at home is another easy daily step with a huge environmental impact.Although recycling is great，actually reducing the amount of waste you produce is even better.One easy and cost-saving place to start is the kitchen.Paper towels have become the norm(常态) for drying hands and cleaning up messes.However，paper towels can’t be recycled and we throw away 3.5 million tons of paper towels and tissues in any given year.___5__ Instead of using paper towels or wipes，reach for a cloth towel.Cloth towels and wipes can be cleaned and used again.
A．Let’s change that.
B．It is our common sense to recycle.
C．Bring your own cups，bottles and bags.
D．Was your bottled water in a plastic bottle
E．Switch from disposable paper to reusable cloth.
F．Have you ever thought about the reason for its insignificance
G．It also comes at a price: loss of trees，use of water and the generation of greenhouse gases.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。作者针对如何保护地球给出了一些建议。
1．A 根据上文“But in recent years，Earth Day hasn’t had quite the same impact.”和下文“More importantly，it is our common duty to support and defend the Earth every day，not just on Earth Day.”可知，人们似乎不像以前那样关注地球日了。A项“让我们改变”符合文意，that指代上文提到的事情。故选A项。
2．C 根据下文“When you picked up your morning coffee，did it come in a disposable(一次性的) cup？Out shopping，did you take your purchases home in a plastic bag ___3__ Next time，plan ahead.Have your own cups，bottles，and bags ready when you need them.This simple act benefits not only the environment but also your own health in important ways.”可知，这一段主要讲了准备好你自己的杯子、瓶子和袋子。C项“带上你自己的杯子、瓶子和袋子”符合文意，且选项中的“cups，bottles and bags”对应下文中的“cup” “a plastic bag” “bottles”。故选C项。
3．D 根据上文“When you picked up your morning coffee，did it come in a disposable(一次性的) cup？Out shopping，did you take your purchases home in a plastic bag？”可知，该处也应该用疑问句，与前两个问句并列。D项“你的瓶装水是用塑料瓶装的吗？”符合文意。故选D项。
4．E 根据下文“Paper towels have become the norm(常态) for drying hands and cleaning up messes.However，paper towels can’t be recycled and we throw away 3.5 million tons of paper towels and tissues in any given year.___5__ Instead of using paper towels or wipes，reach for a cloth towel.Cloth towels and wipes can be cleaned and used again.”可知，这一段主要讲了要用布代替纸巾和湿巾。E项“把一次性纸换成可重复使用的布”符合文意，且选项中的“paper” “cloth”对应下文中的“Paper”和“Cloth”。故选E项。
5．G 根据上文“However，paper towels can’t be recycled and we throw away 3.5 million tons of paper towels and tissues in any given year.”可知，该空继续说明使用纸巾的弊端。G项“这也是有代价的：树木的损失，水的使用和温室气体的产生”符合文意。故选G项。

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。本文通过一个四年级学生饲养蜗牛的事例告诉我们：实践是学习中必不可少的一步，这将使孩子们终身受益。生命教育让孩子们知道如何与自然和生物友好相处。出于好奇，更多的孩子愿意通过练习来观察和思考，这将增加他们对世界的认知。
1．what 考查表语从句。句意：要养好蜗牛，你每天早晚需要向容器里喷水，每两周换一次土，用白菜和甜果喂养它们——这是杭州小学四年级学生Sun Youxiang在养了一年蜗牛后得出的结论。分析句子结构可知，本句为表语从句。从句的谓语(concluded)缺少宾语，应用连接代词what引导。故填what。
2．a 考查冠词。句意：从最开始的三只白玉蜗牛，到现在四代六十多只蜗牛，他在科学课上的作业做得很好。根据空格后的“great job”可知，此处应用不定冠词，且great是以辅音音素开头的单词。故填a。
3．is 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：对孩子们来说，目睹动物繁殖是一种宝贵的经历。分析句子结构可知，此处在句中作谓语，陈述客观事实用一般现在时。主语“Witnessing the reproduction of animals”为第三人称单数，谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故填is。
4．be stimulated 考查被动语态。句意：当他们学会自己照顾动物时，他们的创造力、耐心和对生命的尊重将被激发。分析句子结构可知，此处在句中作谓语，主语“Their creativity，patience，and respect for life”与动词stimulate存在被动关系，应用被动语态。故填be stimulated。
5．as 考查介词。句意：Sun的老师表示，这个作业是生命教育的一个很好的例子。serve as意为“担任……；充当……”，是固定搭配。故填as。
6．to live 考查动词不定式。句意：生命教育让孩子们知道如何与自然和生物友好相处。此处是“疑问副词＋不定式”结构作宾语。故填to live。
7．equally 考查副词。句意：从今年开始，科学将成为小学里与语文和数学同等重要的学科，旨在提高学生对周围环境的认识。修饰形容词important需要用副词。故填equally。
8．which 考查定语从句。句意：见上题。分析句子结构可知，空处所在句子为非限制性定语从句，应用关系代词which引导，指代空前的整个句子。故填which。
9．Drawn 考查动词的-ed形式。句意：在好奇心的驱使下，更多的孩子愿意通过实践来观察和思考。从长远来看，这会增加他们对世界的认知。分析句子结构可知，该句已有谓语动词“will be”，空处应用非谓语动词形式。draw与其逻辑主语“more kids”存在被动关系，应用动词的-ed形式。故填Drawn。
10．recognition 考查名词。句意：见上题。根据空前的形容词性物主代词their可知，此处应用recognise的名词形式，在从句中作宾语。故填recognition。
