To help students learn more about natural disasters，our school organized an activity in the Natural Disaster Experience Hall last Friday．
During the activity，students learned some basic ways to deal with different natural disasters．They were also exposed to VR environment where they deeply felt the strength of natural disasters．Compared to the knowledge they learned in class，what they experienced in person was more practical．
Undoubtedly，the students were deeply convinced of the importance of staying in harmony with nature．
This activity turned out an enormous success and all the participants spoke highly of it．
[片段1]
The skies were dark．A strong wind was blowing hard，cutting my face like a sharp knife．Rain fell in big drops with thunder and lightning．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．
天空一片漆黑。一阵大风猛烈地刮着，像一把锋利的刀割着我的脸。大雨倾盆，夹着电闪雷鸣。我穿过泥水走回家，又冷又怕，浑身发抖。有些人在大雨中全身湿透，匆匆走过。
[片段2]
It was early on a spring morning．The sun was just rising out of the eastern horizon and emitting red hues through the clouds and across the sky．Soon the campus was bathed in the first rays of the sun．The ground was covered with tender grass and the dewdrops stood on their tips and reflected the sunshine．
那是一个春天的清晨。太阳刚从东方地平线升起，透过云层在天空中散发出红光。不久校园就沐浴在第一缕阳光中。地上长满了嫩草，草尖上的露珠反射着阳光。Period 7 默写背诵(At one with nature)

第一部分 阅读
第一节
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The Most Beautiful Seas in the World
Considering the most beautiful seas，it's worth paying attention to the southern water bodies，although，without doubt，each sea is attractive and charming in its own way．
The most beautiful sea in the world—Coral Sea
If we consider the beauty of the seas，and not their coasts，then the first place should be given to the Coral Sea．The Coral Sea is a dangerous place for sailors，and at the same time one of the most beautiful places for diving and all this is due to the unique coral reefs that are home to a wide range of creatures．
The second place—Red Sea
The Red Sea is a truly magnificent place．It has rich fish stocks，a huge number of amazing creatures live in it，and the underwater world is exceptionally rich，which makes it one of the most attractive destinations for divers around the world．
The third place—Caribbean
This is the warmest exotic(异域风情的) place where not only the sea but also the plants on its coast please the eye．It's located between North and South America，and on its shore there are a number of small countries．Many tourists come here because rest here is inexpensive，and you can experience different cultural traditions．
The fourth place—Bali Sea
The Bali Sea is located in the Pacific Ocean．This is another paradise for relaxation，receiving many tourists every season．The sea has a warm climate，creating ideal conditions for relaxing on the islands of Java，Sulawesi，Sumbawa and Madura．

B．To take a close look at a number of wild plants．
C．To look for more corals and the best places to dive．

C．Its tourists． D．Its climate．
D [细节理解题。根据最后一段中“This is another paradise for relaxation，receiving many tourists every season．The sea has a warm climate，creating ideal conditions for relaxing on the islands of Java，Sulawesi，Sumbawa and Madura．”可知，巴厘海之所以成为度假胜地是因为这里的气候。故选D。]
B
My school appeared on the news last week because we had made an important change in our local area．Our class had planted a large garden in what was once only a wasteland．It was a lot of work．I got blisters(水泡) from digging，and we all got insect bites，too．But it was all worth it．
I learned a lot about gardening and teamwork，and then I learned about the media．Our teacher telephoned the TV station and informed it of what we had done．She spoke with the producer．The producer checked with the directors，but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours．They wanted to know what was special about our garden，because many schools planted gardens．
The teacher explained that，after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie (北美草原)，we had made a prairie garden．We had been to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants，and then we planted them．We did not water the garden，but we did weed it．We decided to let nature water it with rain，because that was how prairies grew in the past．We sent a picture of the garden to the news station．In the picture，the grass was so high that it stood taller than the fourth grade students．
As a result，the producer sent a reporter to our school．He interviewed the headmaster and asked him many questions about the garden．After that，he interviewed us，and we explained to him what we had learned through this project．
That night，we watched the news，and there we were．The news reporter told our story．It was only two minutes long，but it was us．We were famous．All that work and all those blisters were worth it．We knew that when we saw the garden every day，but now we knew that the whole city thought so too．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了他的班级辛苦建了一个花园，他们从中学到了很多知识，并接受了电视台的采访。
4．What seemed to be the TV directors' first reaction to the garden
A．They were excited．
B．They were worried．
C．They were surprised．
D．They were uninterested．
D [推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The producer checked with the directors，but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours．”可知，一开始的时候，电视台的导演们对作者班级建的花园并不感兴趣。故选D。]
5．What was special about the garden
A．Weeds were allowed to spread naturally．
B．The grass grew faster than other places' grass．
C．The seeds came from the plants of a prairie．
D．Underground water was used for the plants．
C [推理判断题。根据第二段中的“They wanted to know what was special about our garden，because many schools planted gardens．”及第三段中的“We had been to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants，and then we planted them．”可知，电视台的导演们想知道作者班级建的花园有什么特别之处时，老师解释说这个花园的植物种子来自北美草原上的植物。由此可推知，这个花园的特别之处在于花园里的植物种子来自北美草原上的植物。故选C。]
6．What does the underlined word “that” refer to in the last paragraph
A．Our hard work was worthwhile．
B．We got blisters on our hands．
C．The garden would be famous．
D．The project would be finished．
A [代词指代题。根据最后一段中画线词所在句及其前一句“All that work and all those blisters were worth it．”可知，画线词that指代前一句的内容，即“我们的努力是值得的”。故选A。]
7．How did the author feel about the project
A．Annoyed． B．Proud．
C．Curious． D．Regretful．
B [观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“The news reporter told our story．It was only two minutes long，but it was us．We were famous．All that work and all those blisters were worth it．”可推知，作者为他们所做的这个项目感到自豪。故选B。]
C
The Colorado River is the lifeblood of the American Southwest．It supplies water to more than 36 million people and allows cities like Los Angeles，Phoenix，and Las Vegas to develop．But satisfying the region's need for water has come at a price．
The river once travelled all the way from Colorado's Rocky Mountains to the Gulf of California．Now，dams control the river's water for human use．As a result，the river no longer reaches the ocean．Without water，the delta(三角洲)at the river's mouth has become dry and poor．
To bring the delta back to life，engineers recently opened the Morelos Dam to free a temporary(短暂的) burst of water．This flow allowed the Colorado River to reach the sea for the first time in 16 years，helping the river's delta come alive．
The dams built by the US government form a system of man-made lakes．These lakes can store four times the river's yearly flow．“The lakes are like the river basin's bank accounts，” says Taylor Hawes．“They provide a place to save up water for not-so-rainy days—like right now．”
In wetter times，on and off since the 1960s，the Colorado River managed to complete its journey to the sea．During those rare times，spring floods temporarily brought life back to the delta．Seeing the difference a little water could make gave scientists the idea for this year's pulse flow．
“Just add water and you can get an amazing recovery，” says Eloise Kendy．“The project serves as a model of how to manage rivers sustainably(可持续地) for both people and nature．A lot of rivers in the West have problems．We didn't think about the environment．But it's possible to restore them．If we can do it in the Colorado River Delta，we can do it anywhere．”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。由于水坝控制水流，科罗拉多河河口三角洲已经变得干涸。工程师开启堤坝，使该河三角洲恢复生机，这一事件引发了人们对可持续发展的思考。
8．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A．The Gulf of California is flooding．
B．The Colorado River's delta is dying．
C．The American Southwest is becoming poor．
D．The water in the Colorado River is running out．
B [推理判断题。通过文章的前两段内容，尤其是第二段中的“As a result...the delta at the river's mouth has become dry and poor．”可知，由于没有水的流入，科罗拉多河河口三角洲已经变得干涸和恶劣，故可推知，此三角洲正在消失。故选B项。]
9．What does “bank accounts” mean in paragraph 4
A．Lakes can store much of the river's water．
B．Many banks provide money to build dams．
C．The money made from the lakes is kept in banks．
D．People can borrow money from banks to buy lake water．
A [细节理解题。由第四段中的“These lakes can store four times the river's yearly flow...save up water for not-so-rainy days”可知，这些湖泊就像河流流域的“银行账户”一样可以存储大量的水。故选A项。]
10．What does Eloise Kendy want to express
A．Restoring deserts is sustainable for nature．
B．Many cities are built on deserts in the West．
C．Rivers in the West have been polluted seriously．
D．Environmental protection must go with development．
D [推理判断题。由最后一段的内容，尤其是“The project serves as a model of how to manage rivers sustainably for both people and nature．”可知，该项目为如何可持续地管理河流以使其同时服务于人与自然树立了榜样。由此可推知，发展(经济)的同时也要保护环境。故选D项。]
11．What is the main idea of the passage
A．An effort to protect the Colorado River from drying．
B．An experiment to make the Colorado River flow freely．
C．A project to bring the Colorado River Delta back to life．
D．A way to make full use of the water from the Colorado River．
C [主旨大意题。由于水坝控制水流，科罗拉多河河口三角洲变得干涸。工程师开启堤坝，让三角洲恢复了生机。故C项“一个让科罗拉多河河口三角洲恢复生机的项目”符合题意。故选C项。 ]
D
This beautiful，quiet place is covered in sunshine and has mountains all around it．Its name is Machu Picchu．It lies on top of a mountain，8，000 feet in the tropical forest．Even in the rain and fog，it's wonderful to walk through the ruins．
Machu Picchu is more than 500 years old．According to scholars，Machu Picchu was built for the Inca king around 1450．In the late 1800s，explorers like Antonio crossed the grounds of the ruins without knowing where he was．Machu Picchu became known to the world upon the 1911 arrival of Hiram Bingham．In 1983，Machu Picchu was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site．
Machu Picchu is considered by many to be the most wonderful creation of the Inca Empire．It's also full of cultural significance(意义)．Its various sites and castles are connected with each other and with their environment．This is a great artistic achievement and also masterpiece of architecture．Everything is cultural and is related to each other，including the natural environment in which it is built．
Currently，Machu Picchu is considered one of the New Seven Wonders of the World; this promotes increased tourism in the area．Tourists of all nationalities travel to Peru with the intention of visiting the Lost City of the Incas．Machu Picchu is no longer quiet．
Some people in Peru hope that more tourists will come here．They think it will mean more business and money for the country．However，some worry that more visitors won't be good for the environment．The truth is that parts of Peru are very poor，and tourists bring money to these communities．The lost city is no longer lost．The modern world is coming closer to this ancient world every day．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了世界文化遗产——马丘比丘。
12．What is Machu Picchu like
A．It sits high with mountains around．
B．It's sunny all through the year．
C．It's an ancient city covered with fog．

13．When was Machu Picchu found and known to the world
A．In 1450． B．In the late 1800s．
C．In 1911． D．In 1983．
C [细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Machu Picchu became known to the world upon the 1911 arrival of Hiram Bingham．”可知，马丘比丘是在1911年被世人所知的。]

A．Its history． B．Its design．
C．Its development． D．Its value．

第二节
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you're looking for a reason to care about tree loss，the nation's latest heatwaves might be it．Trees can lower summer daytime temperatures by as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit． 16 ．A study published last year by the US Forest Service found that we lost 36 million trees annually from urban and rural communities over a five-year period．There are many reasons why our tree cover is decreasing，including hurricanes，fires，insects and disease．But the one way that humans can control tree loss is through sensible(合理的) development．So how can you help stop tree loss
Protect what you have． 17 ．We pay for our houses，and so we know that we must maintain(保养) them．But because we don't pay for nature，we often feel we don't need to protect it．That's not necessarily true．
18 ．If they're small enough，do it yourself or hire a company which can cut off branches that need to be removed．The risk of branches damaging your house is lowered when there's tree upkeep(保养)．
Notice when your trees may be in trouble．Often，you can observe when something's wrong，such as when branches are losing leaves and breaking or when mushrooms are growing at the base or on the trees． 19 ，or you can contact your local agricultural office for advice．
Don't remove old trees if it's not necessary． 20 ．It takes a long time for big trees to reach that size．And once they're established，they can live a long time．But getting rid of a big tree and saying “we'll plant another tree” isn't always the answer．There's no guarantee that small trees will survive and they take a very long time to grow．
A．But tree cover in US cities is reducing
B．Cut off the dead branches out of your trees
C．Educate yourself about trees and get involved
D．Instead，try taking action like removing branches
E．You can dig it up and plant a new tree where you like
F．The first step is caring for the trees on your own property
G．You can hire an expert to assess the health of your trees annually
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是如何阻止树木的减少。
16．A [空后说“A study published last year by the US Forest Service found that we lost 36 million trees annually from urban and rural communities over a five-year period．”，空格处应该引出树木正在减少这一事实，A选项“But tree cover in US cities is reducing”说明了树木正在减少这一事实，和空后所说的研究发现一致，因此引起下文，符合语境。故选A。]
17．F [空前说“Protect what you have．”，空后说“We pay for our houses，and so we know that we must maintain them．”，因此空格处要说我们要先保护好我们自己家里的树，F选项“The first step is caring for the trees on your own property”说明了首先要保护好自己家里种的树，因此F选项承上启下，符合语境。故选F。]
18．B [由空后的内容可知，本段主要讲的是要修剪树上需要移除的分支，也就是枯枝，B选项“Cut off the dead branches out of your trees”说明了要砍掉枯枝，可作为主题句。故选B。]
19．G [根据空前和空后的内容可知，你可以自己观察树的状态，也可以请人来评估，G选项“You can hire an expert to assess the health of your trees annually”说明了你可以请人来对树进行评估，和后文的向当地的农业办事处寻求建议一样，都是请别人来评估树的状态，因此承上启下，符合语境。故选G。]
20．D [空前说“Don't remove old trees if it's not necessary．”，空格处内容要说应该怎么做，应该是和前面相反的做法，D选项“Instead，try taking action like removing branches”是和前面移走老树相反的做法，因此承接上文，符合语境。故选D。]

36．steps [考查名词的数。step为可数名词，空前有many修饰，故应用复数形式，故填steps。]
37．to build [考查非谓语动词。encourage sb．to do sth．意为“鼓励某人做某事”，故填to build。]
38．for [考查介词。provide sth．for sb．意为“向某人提供某物”，故填for。]

“You have to change it，Dad，” Holly said．“It's destroying the environment．” “Actually，I'm thinking of working from home，so I won't need the car．” “That's great！”
Her father looked quickly at his wife，then decided to continue，“But I'm going to build a new office at the end of the garden．”
“At the end of the garden There is the old oak tree...” Holly didn't finish the sentence．Her face turned white with anger．
Holly's mother said，“That tree is very old，Holly．And your father can have his new office there．It's perfect．”
Holly was so upset．She couldn't believe this was happening．What could she do They were going to cut down her tree!
She walked out into the garden．The sun was sinking now and the old oak tree was huge and dark against the sky．She climbed up the rope ladder and disappeared among the leaves and branches．
Now she was inside her old tree house．It was her favourite place in the world，her secret place．There were holes in its roof and there were old birds' nests in the corners．But there was a little chair，some broken toys and some blankets．She sat down and looked out at the garden and the sky．She could see the moon and stars．She could hear birds singing．She could see the lights inside her house．

[参考范文]
Three hours later，her parents walked up to the tree． They tried to ask her to come down．“I know the tree means much for you，darling，” her mother explained，“but we have to．” Holly was disappointed．They just didn't understand．It was not all about memories．It was also about oxygen．It was about homes for birds and animals．Holly stayed in the tree house for the night，thinking hard what she could do to change her parents' minds．
Holly had a plan when her parents came the next morning． “You don't have to cut down the tree，Dad．Wouldn't a glass office under the tree look cool？” Pointing to her drawing of the intended glass office，Holly highlighted the splendid view of nature as well as perfect shades of the tree．“Sounds great．I'll think about it carefully．” Her father patted her on the head．Hearing his promise，Holly smiled and gave him a big hug．
