Have you imagined that planting trees can make a big difference People say that one man can't make a difference, but Abdul Samad Sheikh, a 60-year-old rickshaw(人力车) driver from Bangladesh, has proved that doing a small thing over a long period of time can mean much. He has planted at least one tree every day since he was 12 years old, which means that he has so far planted a small forest of over 17,500 trees. Imagine if everyone followed his example.
Abdul has worked as a rickshaw driver for most of his life. He makes a little money from his job, which is only enough to put food on the table for his family, but he somehow tries to also buy at least one tree every day. He considers it his duty. Mostly he plants them on government land so nobody can cut them down later. He also waters them, and if he sees anyone cutting down a tree, he blames them.
Abdul, his wife Jorna, and four of his children live in two old houses, on a piece of land that is owned by the Faridpur deputy commissioner's office. They have no land of their own.
Sometimes, Abdul's wife commands him not to plant trees but he doesn't listen. Abdul's 30-year-old son, Kutub Uddin, has never told his father not to plant trees, because he thinks his father does a good thing for society.
Abdul's neighbors all know about his daily habit, and praise his work. Whoever asks anything of him, he will do his best to help. Therefore, Abdul is loved by neighbors.
For his efforts, Abdul Samad Sheikh was recently honored by The Daily Star, and given $1,253 to help him build a better home for his family. The Daily Star wished everyone to follow his example, and protect the environment.
“I can't do it alone. I need the help of you all,” said Abdul in his speech.
24.What do we know about Abdul
A.He doesn't support his family.
B.He plants trees with his own money.
C.He makes a living by doing different jobs.
D.He plants trees to win his neighbors' praise.
25.Why does Abdul plant trees on government land
A.To get money from the government.
B.To set a good example to people.
C.To protect them from being cut down.
D.To get a place from the government to build his own house.
26.Which of the following can best describe Abdul
A.Poor but helpful.　　　B.Rich and reliable.
C.Uncaring and stupid.　　　D.Active but dishonest.
27.What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to
A.Driving a rickshaw.　　　B.Planting trees.
C.Making money.　　　D.Building a better home.
C
Of all the creatures on the planet, the narwhal(独角鲸) has the strangest appearance. It's a whale which has a long tooth coming out of its head; that's how it got its nickname, the unicorn(独角兽) of the sea. They live in the Arctic Ocean off the coast of Canada, Russia and East Greenland. However, experts say some populations of narwhals could be extinct by 2025, and it's all due to noise pollution.
Narwhals rely on echolocation(回声定位), which they use to find food and confirm their surroundings. The animal produces a sound wave which springs from an object. They pick this reflected sound up through their lower jaw, and information on features like size and speed is passed to their ears.
However, the increase in human activities in the sea, as well as climate change, has resulted in the Arctic Ocean becoming noisier, which means it's more difficult for narwhals to rely on sound. Susanna Blackwell, who studies the effects of underwater noise on sea animals, told the BBC that there is noisier activity in the Arctic Ocean than ever because, as sea ice melts, new routes are opening. And while icebergs' breaking has been part of the ocean sound for hundreds of years, man-made noise is much harder for animals to adapt to, particularly as these changes are so sudden.
Research in 2023 recorded the reactions of narwhals to the imitated noises made by a guard ship. The scientists marked and tracked the creatures and found that, on hearing these sounds, they ended deep dives and stopped clicking, the echolocation signal they use for finding food underwater. This is the same reaction that narwhals have to orcas(虎鲸), which hunt them, meaning man-made noise could touch the creature's “threat button”.
So, what can we do Charlotte Findlay, a postdoctoral fellow at Aarhus University, says, “Noise is actually quite easy to solve. We need to either turn it off or turn it down.”
28.What can be the main factor for the extinction of narwhals
A.Its hunters.　　　B.Noise pollution.
C.Its strange appearance.　　　D.Climate change.
29.How does a narwhal observe its surroundings
A.By its long tooth.　　　B.By diving deeper.
C.By echolocation.　　　D.By springing a sound.
30.Why is it difficult for narwhals to rely on sound
A.Sea animals affect narwhals' activities.
B.The Arctic Ocean is noisier than before.
C.Human activities cause climate change.
D.Narwhals can easily adapt to sudden changes.
31.What is the best title for the text
A.The Survival Threat to the Narwhal
B.Great Power of Echolocation
C.Strange Appearance of the Narwhal
D.Effective Ways to Reduce Noise Pollution
D
Built in 1990, the Moriyama City Firefly Forest Museum has been trying to recover the number of the Genji firefly(源氏萤火虫), whose population was near extinction in the first half of the 20th century.
In Japan, fireflies have long been the sign of summer. Moriyama's Genji fireflies are especially prized for their vivid, yellow-green glow. However, from 1868 to 1912, a commercial firefly industry developed. In just one night, a single hunter could catch about as many as 3,000 fireflies, sweeping the earth with brushes to frighten just egg-laying fireflies from riverbanks. It was easiest to catch female fireflies when they laid their eggs. Thus, there were fewer and fewer left to produce the next generation. At the same time, rapid urbanization of Japan was turning Moriyama's once ideal habitats into places where few fireflies could survive. Concrete was laid on the banks where there was once grass. Wastewater ran into the waters where the larvae(幼虫) grew.
The founders set the museum in the kind of habitat that Genji fireflies would find attractive. They created an artificial river and planted its banks with grass. Inside the museum, they mate and reproduce Genji fireflies; it is still the only organization to do so in a large size. Fireflies lay thousands of eggs. When the larvae come out, they are moved to boxes with flowing water. They grow there until February when the larvae are moved to the man-made river. Then, the fireflies leave the water and take flight in June.
The museum also has educational purpose. Throughout the year, they lecture on the insect's history and ecology in schools. They also lead museum activities and other training and awareness campaigns, including the museum's magazine, From the Firefly Forest. Cleanup activities around waters are also organized.
The action is reasonable but, despite their efforts, the number of Genji fireflies hasn't increased so much in Moriyama. Most other habitats continue to become worse due to urbanization. Unless people preserve them, fireflies will continue to suffer. “The only chance to recover the Genji firefly's population is to act now,” ecologist Kato warns. “We're running out of time to provide the environmental education to save Japan's beloved insect.”
32.Why did the number of the Genji fireflies decrease
A.Because the banks where they once lived disappeared.
B.Because the waters where the larvae grew were polluted.
C.Because over 3,000 female fireflies were caught every night.
D.Because a commercial firefly industry developed their habitats.
33.What efforts has the Firefly Forest Museum made
A.It has organized various educational activities.
B.It has helped Genji fireflies lay thousands of eggs.
C.It has helped Genji fireflies leave the water and take flight in June.
D.It has created the kind of habitat that the Genji fireflies would find attractive.
34.What does Kato think of the task of recovering the Genji firefly's population
A.It is reasonable.　　　B.It makes no sense.
C.It wastes lots of time.　　　D.It needs immediate action.
35.What is the text mainly about
A.The extinction of Genji fireflies in Japan.
B.The reappearance of Genji fireflies in Japan.
C.Efforts made to recover Genji fireflies by a Japanese museum.
D.The effect of urbanization on Japan's favorite glowing insect.

All animals exist in a network, supported by each other. That's why our global focus today should be on saving animals from extinction. By doing so, we are certainly keeping an ecological balance. 　36　.
Support companies that promote environmental protection
When shopping either from your local or online stores, go for those companies with eco-friendly things. Whether you are looking for shoes, toys, bags or others, you can choose reusable products. 　37　.
Avoid harmful pesticides
Harmful pesticides have resulted in much animal loss. They might be good for killing pests. 　38　. The chemicals enter into the soil and last a long time, thus endangering native wildlife species. Worse, they spread throughout the food, causing damage to other large animals.
　39　
Don't buy things made of horns, ivory and others that endanger animals. This saves the animals and their habitats. Even when traveling, be careful when buying souvenirs. Some could have been made from endangered animal products like ivory. It's important to research the product before you make the decision to buy.
Drive carefully
This is one of the easiest things you can do to join in animal protection. 　40　. This will help reduce the road danger to endangered wildlife. Reducing car speed can reduce the animal accidents as much as possible.
A.Buy fewer products
B.Avoid harmful black market products
C.Here are what you can do to save endangered species
D.When driving near forests or animal reserves, don't go fast

It's 6:15 a.m. on a school day, and Jocelyn Murzycki has two kids and she needs to get out the door in an hour. As the sky begins to 　41　, Murzycki doesn't manage a few more minutes of sleep. 　42　, she's heading out in the freezing cold for her daily plogging—a run to 　43　 litter.
First, the 　44　 are a litter grabber(垃圾夹具) and a reusable shopping bag, one side for the landfill and the other for the 　45　. Covering herself up, Murzycki jogs 　46　 down Main Street, stopping briefly to pick up a plastic cup. She usually needs to stop halfway through her 20-minute run to 　47　 her bag. Within a few hours the street will look littered again. But she isn't 　48　—it just adds fuel to her plogging fire.
The word “plogging” comes from “plogga”, a 　49　 of two Swedish words that mean “pick up” and “jog”. The activity was 　50　 by Erik Ahlstrom. When he moved to Stockholm, he felt 　51　 at the amount of litter in the streets and began gathering friends to clean up the neighborhood while out for runs. Now Mr. Ahlstrom is traveling the world, publicizing the 　52　 of plogging. In the U.S., social media and running groups are 　53　 people to get out and plog: the “plogging” tag(标签) alone has more than 40,000 posts.
Murzycki has been doing this for a few years even before the trend hit the U.S. “It is really super 　54　 if you go out every single day and just pick up litter,” she says. But she has figured out how to make it fun by jogging with friends and adding to 　55　 the way that finding a tiny glass bottle adds one push-up(俯卧撑).

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Alice sat in the car while palm trees seemed to speed by the car window. Eight-year-old Alice began to get nervous, the way she always did in new surroundings. She felt a thin shine of sweat above her lip in spite of the car's cool air. “The aquarium(水族馆) won't be crowded, I bet, and people are going to notice me. I hate wearing this prosthetic leg(假肢).” She felt tears coming from her eyes. “Not being normal is the worst,” she thought to herself.
Entering the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, around a corner of a tank, she noticed an animal that looked unusual. “Is that a dolphin with a prosthetic tail instead of a real tail ” she asked an aquarium staff member. He nodded and replied, “Yes, that's Betty. She's a very special dolphin.” “What happened to her ” “This girl dolphin was found off the coast of Florida, caught in a crab trap. The ropes from the trap cut off the blood circulation to her tail. So she lost her tail.” Alice caught her breath. “She's just like me.” “But she struggled to survive. Now she wears a prosthetic tail to help her swim as a dolphin's supposed to swim,” the staff member continued. “Every day, Betty shows us anything is possible if we believe.”
Alice felt her heart was touched. She waved at Betty. Looking at Alice, Betty raised her flippers(鳍), came to her and lifted her head. “She's swimming right into my arms,” Alice said tearfully. They made eye contact. She seemed to be speaking to Alice: We're the same.
Back home, all Alice talked about was Betty. For two weeks, she cried and begged her mother to take her back to Clearwater.
Unfortunately, another blow hit Alice. She fell on the hardwood floor at home and broke her other leg. Alice suffered the pain in her leg. After a thorough examination, the doctor explained bad news to them that she would need some surgery on her leg. Years of a living hell(地狱) came back to her.
She started fearing surgery again and refused to go to hospital for treatment.

36.C　根据上文可知,拯救濒临灭绝的动物如今应该是全球的焦点,通过这样做来保持生态平衡;而下文则介绍了如何拯救濒危物种。所以C项“这里是你可以做的用来拯救濒危物种的事情”承上启下,符合语境。故选C。
37.F　设空处在段末,应承接上文,根据上文“无论你是在找鞋子、玩具、包包还是其他东西,你都可以选择可重复使用的产品”可知,F项“这些产品有助于减少对森林或动物栖息地的破坏”符合语境,说明选择可重复使用的产品的原因。选项中的products是原词复现。故选F。
38.E　根据上文可知,有害的杀虫剂导致许多动物死亡,可以用来杀害虫,根据下文可知,这些化学物质进入土壤并持续存在很长时间,从而危及当地的野生动物物种,更糟糕的是,它们会扩散到食物中,对其他大型动物造成损害,所以E项“遗憾的是,它们也给本土物种留下了持久的可怕影响”符合语境,选项中的they指代上文中的harmful pesticides,选项中的lasting和下文中的last a long time语义一致,故选E。
39.B　设空处是本段小标题。本段提到不要买牛角制品、象牙制品等,B项“避免有害的黑市产品”符合本段主旨。故选B。
40.D　根据下文可知,此处提到了降低车速,所以D项“在森林或动物保护区附近开车时,不要开得太快”引起下文,符合语境。故选D。
第三部分　语言运用
第一节
◎语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了一个名为plogging的边慢跑边捡垃圾的活动,人们可以在享受跑步的乐趣的同时为保护环境尽一份力。
41.C　根据“It's 6:15 a.m.”和常识可知,早上的时候天会逐渐变亮,故选C。
42.B　Murzycki没有多睡几分钟,反而做了另一件事情,故选B。
43.D　根据下文“a litter grabber”可知Murzycki是去捡垃圾,故选D。
44.B　根据下文“a litter grabber and a reusable shopping bag”可知,去捡垃圾需要一些必备的东西,故选B。
45.C　由上文可知,购物袋的一边装要送到垃圾填埋场的垃圾,结合选项可知另一边应该装可回收利用的垃圾,形成对比,故选C。
46.D　根据下文“Within a few hours the street will look littered again.”可知,Murzycki是故意跑到主街上的,因为主街上垃圾多,故选D。
47.A　结合语境可知,跑步过程中Murzycki不断捡垃圾,袋子就会满,因而需要中途停下清空袋子,故选A。
48.A　根据下文“it just adds fuel to her plogging fire”可知,几个小时后,街上又会出现垃圾,但这并没有给她带来阻力,而是带来动力,故选A。
49.B　根据下文“two Swedish words that mean ‘pick up' and ‘jog'”可知,“plogga”是两个单词组合形成的,故选B。
50.A　根据下文“he...began gathering friends to clean up the neighborhood while out for runs”可知,Erik Ahlstrom开始召集朋友们外出跑步时清理附近的垃圾。由此可知,这项运动是由Erik Ahlstrom发起的,故选A。
51.D　由下文他开始召集朋友们捡垃圾可知,垃圾的数量很多,令他感到大为惊奇,故选D。
52.C　根据publicizing(宣传,推广)可知,此处应该填入一个带有积极色彩的词,故选C。
53.D　根据语境推断,此处指社交媒体和跑步群体都激励人们出去一边跑步一边捡垃圾,故选D。
54.A　根据下文“But she has...make it fun”可知,本空应与fun意思相反,depressing表示“令人沮丧的”,符合语境,故选A。
55.C　根据下文的“one push-up”可知,此处表示“锻炼”,故选C。
第二节
◎语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了地球日的相关内容。
56.occasionally　考查副词。此处修饰谓语,应用副词形式。故填occasionally。
57.Elected　考查过去分词。本句已有谓语,设空处需用非谓语动词,动词elect与逻辑主语Senator Gaylord Nelson之间是被动关系,且动作已完成,所以用过去分词作状语,设空处位于句首,单词首字母应大写。故填Elected。
58.at　考查介词。at risk意为“处于危险中”。故填at。
59.being inspired　考查动名词。介词after后需接动名词作宾语,结合“by some teaching activities”可知,此处需用动名词的被动式。故填being inspired。
60.that/which　考查定语从句。设空处无提示词,空后部分缺少主语,故推测设空处引导限制性定语从句,先行词为teaching activities,指物。故填that或which。
61.was selected　考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。根据“and he worked with”可知,此处应用一般过去时;动词select与主语Denis Hayes之间为被动关系,Denis Hayes是第三人称单数形式。故填was selected。
62.an　考查冠词。an army of意为“一大批”。故填an。
63.to organize　考查动词不定式。根据语境可知,此处需用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to organize。
64.awareness　考查名词。设空处作动词raising的宾语,需用名词形式。故填awareness。
65.largest　考查形容词的最高级。根据“in history”可知,此处是指三者或三者以上的比较,所以应用形容词large的最高级形式,作定语修饰volunteer event。故填largest。
第四部分　写作
第一节
One possible version:
Dear fellow students,
I'm writing to appeal to you to protect rare birds. It's well-known that rare birds make our world more beautiful and lively, playing a significant role in maintaining the balance of our ecosystem.
However, human activities like hunting directly cause populations of rare birds to fall. Besides,building farms or factories has led to the loss of their natural habitats.
To protect rare birds, we should raise public awareness of the importance of rare birds. In addition,we can plant more trees and protect their habitats.
The Students' Union
第二节
One possible version:
“How can I persuade Alice to undergo the surgery ” Alice's mom said to herself. Then she had an idea and she decided to take Alice back to Clearwater. On arriving at Clearwater, Alice couldn't wait to see Betty, the lovely dolphin that comforted her and boosted her mood. As Alice's mother pushed the wheelchair to Betty, she raised her flippers, came to her and lifted her head. Looking at the girl, Betty seemed to say, “Go and have the operation.” Alice absolutely knew what that caring eyes were conveying, so she decided to keep a more optimistic state of mind.
Encouraged by Betty,Alice changed her mind and did what her mother and doctor had told her to. Finally came the day when Alice was in the hospital again. Though feeling nervous and afraid of the pain the surgery might bring, Alice faced it bravely. The operation was a success. Her mother took her to Clearwater on the day when she was discharged from hospital. Inspired by Betty's swimming like a normal dolphin, Alice practiced hard walking. Her confidence has been improved as she gradually recovers. She has no idea what the future holds for her but she will do anything to have a better look at this wonderful world.
