二、阅读理解（共4小题；每小题5分，满分20分）
Most city parks are places where you can escape from big, ugly structures of metal and stone. The High Line in Manhattan is different. Raised 7.6 metres above the ground , this massive metal structure once supported a rail line. The line opened in 1934 to bring trains directly into factories. It was hardly used after the 1960s.and much of it was torn down. However, one stretch remained in a region of Manhattan called Chelsea. Chelsea was becoming high-class as restaurants, art galleries and apartments were built, but the ugly railway structure remained as a dead weight. Everyone knew that at some time, it would have to be removed.
But the High Line was not destroyed. In fact, now the old rail line serves as one of the most peaceful places in the city. It holds an elevated park, with beautiful gardens and great views of the city. The idea of turning the rail line into a park came from Joshua David and Robert Hammond. In 1999, they attended a meeting to decide the fate of the High Line. David and Hammond were the only people at the meeting interested in saving the historical structure. Later on, when they asked railway officials to take them up to look at the High Line, they saw a mile and a half of wild flowers growing in the middle of the city, and they realised that the High Line had the potential to become a park. There was growing interest in improving city centres, and so the project quickly developed and funds for construction were easily collected.
The first section of the High Line opened in 2009 and immediately became popular with tourists and locals alike. Each part of the park has a different atmosphere. Some areas are like balconies with wonderful city views. Where the rail line goes between buildings, trees are thickly planted. Other sections have wide lawns and walkways with wild flowers. Only the final section remains the way it has been for the last fifty years—a railway line overgrown with weeds.
11.What does the underlined part “dead weight” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Something with historical interest.
B. Something with potential to be better.
C. Something useless that slows progress.
D. Something that is a danger to people.
12.Why did David and Hammond originally want to save the High Line
A. They wanted to reopen the train line.
B. They thought it had historical value.
C. They were interested in improving the city.
D. They thought it would become a good park.
13.What can we learn about the High Line from the text
A. Only part of the line remains.
B. The railway companies still use the line.
C. It began to become popular in the 1960.
D. It was designed by David and Hammond.
14.What is the text mainly about
A. Closing a train line. B. An unlikely place for a park.
C. The protection of cultural relics. D. Improving city transport.

答案以及解析
一、填空题
1.答案：explosion
解析：句意为:探险者没能在爆炸中幸存下来。根据句意和设空处前的定冠词the可知,设空处应用名词作survive的宾语,explosion 意为“爆炸”。
2.答案：has multiplied
解析：考查时态和主谓一致。句意:统计资料显示,在过去的几十年里,风能的产量成倍增加。分析句子结构可知 showed后是that引导的宾语从句,设空处为该从句的谓语。根据该从句的时间状语over the last decades 可知从句用现在完成时。从句主语是 wind energy production, production 在此处意为“产量”,是不可数名词,从句谓语应用第三人称单数形式,故填 has multiplied。
3.答案：departure
解析：考查名词。句意:在我们离开营地几天后,我们的汽车完全陷在泥里了。根据空前的形容词性物主代词 our可知该空应用名词,作介词after 的宾语;由句意可知设空处表示“离开”,故填departure。
4.答案：explosion
解析：句意:内战期间,爆炸完全毁掉了那栋楼。在冠词the后面,用名词形式,在句中作主语。
5.答案：substantially
解析：句意:他核实了一下给出的统计数据,发现它们基本正确。在句中作状语,用副词形式。substantially adv.基本上,大体上;非常。

8.答案：trapped
解析：句意:青少年们爬上几十层楼梯,为被困在断电的高层建筑中的老人送水和食物。逻辑主语elderly people与trap之间是被动关系,故用过去分词短语作后置定语。
9.答案：conservation
解析：句意为:此举将有助于提高消费者的节能意识,并将更多节能电器推向市场。设空处作of的宾语,空前有名词 energy作定语,此处应用名词, energy conservation 意为“节能”。故填 conservation。
10.答案：dramatically

二、阅读理解
11.答案：C
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线短语所在句 Chelsea was becoming high-class as restaurants, art galleries and apartments were built ,but the ugly railway structure remained as a dead weight.中的but可知,本句前后是转折关系。上文提到随着饭店、画廊和公寓的建成,切尔西变成了高等场所。那么,下文就应该与其相反,描述丑陋的铁路干线没有什么用了。由此可知,画线短语指“无用的、减慢进步速度的东西;累赘”。故选C项。
12.答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的David and Hammond were the only people at the meeting interested in saving the historical structure.可知,戴维和哈蒙德要保留这条铁路的历史结构,所以他们最初支持保留这条铁路是因为他们认为其有历史研究价值。故选B项。

解析：细节理解题。根据文章最后一句中的Only the final section remains the way it has been for the last fifty years可知,铁路还有一部分保留了以前的样子。故选A项。
14.答案：B
解析：主旨大意题。根据文章开头Most city parks are places where you can escape from big, ugly structures of metal and stone. The High Line in Manhattan is different.及下文介绍可知,这篇文章主要介绍位于曼哈顿的一座城市公园,它原是一段废弃的高架铁路,这里本来并不是适合建造公园的地方,是一处意料之外的公园地点。故选B项。
三、七选五
答案：FEBCG
解析：①根据空前句Many volunteers join organizations like these and work for the environment.(许多志愿者加入像这样的组织,为环境工作。)可知,你可以参加一些这样的组织。故选F。
②根据下文Baby seals are hunted for their skin, as it is used to make expensive coats.(人们猎杀海豹幼崽是为了它们的皮,因为它被用来制作昂贵的大衣。)可知,要拒绝毛皮大衣和稀有动物做成的药。故选E。

二、阅读理解（共4小题；每小题5分，满分20分）
The Okapi Wildlife Reserve, located in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to one-sixth of the remaining wild okapi in the world. It protects many other wildlife species as well as one-fifth of the Ituri forest. But despite its status, the reserve is under threat from human activities.
Mining, deforestation (森林破坏), and illegal hunting are all threatening the reserve, and criminals have murdered several people, including forest guards, since 2012. Forest loss is expanding rapidly. In 2020, the most deforestation in the Okapi Wildlife Reserve since records began in 2002 was recorded via satellite data. Since 2002, the area has lost about 7% of its total forest cover. Most recently, satellite data shows deforestation along the Ituri River in late 2021, likely from illegal gold mining.
“Miners are actually eating the reserve out of its wildlife by hunting animals for food. There is almost no wildlife left around the mine itself, and wildlife numbers are greatly reduced around mining towns,” said John Lukas, co-founder of the Okapi Conservation Project.
Protecting the reserve is important for the endangered okapi and other wildlife that call the region home, but preserving the area’s forests is of particular significance in dealing with climate change.
“The forests of Congo, more than forests in the Amazon and in Asia, store carbon even in times of drought and rising temperatures,” explained Lukas. “Preserving the forests not only provides habitats for okapi, elephants and chimpanzees but gives humans time to adjust our source of energy to be more sustainable and carbon neutral (碳中和). Hopefully the Western world will financially support the countries of the Congo basin to value their forests as sources of life and not just a kind of goods to be sold.”
11.What happened to the forests in the Okapi Wildlife Reserve
A. Forest guards hunting. B. Mining via satellites.
C. About 7% forest loss in 21 years. D. One-fifth of wild animals leaving.
12.Why has so much wildlife disappeared around the mines
A. Because of being killed for food. B. Because of the high temperature.
C. Because of no habitat. D. Because of the deadly diseases.
13.Why is it particularly important to protect the forests in the reserve
A. Gold mines are in the forests.
B. The forests affect climate.
C. The forests are home to wild species.
D. A good life can be led by selling trees.
14.Which of the following might be the best title of the text
A. Current situation of the Okapi Wildlife Reserve
B. Gold mines found in the Okapi Wildlife Reserve
C. Protecting the wildlife in the Okapi Wildlife Reserve
D. Endangered Okapi reserve threatened by human activities
三、七选五（共5小题；每小题4分，满分20分）
Helping the environment and protecting our resources are very important activities. ①______ There are several ways that you can help protect this planet we call home.
Use reusable bags. Plastic bags that get thrown out end up in landfills or in other parts of the environment. ②______ Also, it takes decades for the bags to decompose(分解). There-fore, whether you are shopping for food, clothes or books, use a reusable bag. This cuts down on litter and prevents animals from getting hold of them.
③______ Instead of buying individually packaged drinks, consider buying a reusable water bottle. Not only will this help protect the environment, but it will also help you save money. A lot of coffee shops, Starbucks, for example, even offer a discount to customers who use a reusable container for their drinks.
Save electricity. Use energy-efficient light bulbs(灯泡)instead of regular bulbs. ④______ What’s more, make sure you turn off lights, the TV, and other devices when you are not using them. Turn off your air conditioning or heat when it’s not necessary. This is especially true as the seasons change. Open your windows in the early fall or put on more clothes in the early winter.
Save water. More water is wasted than we realize. Turn off the water tap when you are brushing your teeth. Don’t turn your shower on until you’re ready to get in and wash your hair. Limit your water usage as you wash dishes. ⑤______
A. Use reusable drink containers.
B. Use the air conditioning less often.
C. And students without doubt can make a difference.
D. They last longer, which will save you a bit of money.
E. Everyone should take measures to fight against the water pollution.
F. These can kill animals who get stuck in them or mistake them for food.
G. Developing these habits will be good for both the environment and your wallet.

11.答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Since 2002, the area has lost about 7% of its total forest cover. Most recently, satellite data shows deforestation along the Ituri River in late 2021, likely from illegal gold mining.(自2002年以来，该地区的森林覆盖面积已经减少了约7%。)”可知，自2002年以来，即21年中，该地区的森林覆盖面积减少了约7%。故选C项。
12.答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段“‘Miners are actually eating the reserve out of its wildlife by hunting animals for food. There is almost no wildlife left around the mine itself, and wildlife numbers are greatly reduced around mining towns,’ said John Lukas, co-founder of the Okapi Conservation Project. (‘矿工们通过猎杀动物来获取食物，实际上是在消耗保护区的野生动物。矿井周围几乎没有野生动物，采矿城镇周围的野生动物数量大大减少，’霍加狓保护项目的联合创始人约翰·卢卡斯说。)”可推知，造成金矿周围野生动物灭绝的原因是矿工们猎捕它们当做食物。故选A项。
13.答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段“Protecting the reserve is important for the endangered okapi and other wildlife that call the region home, but preserving the area’s forests is of particular significance in dealing with climate change.(保护区对濒临灭绝的霍加狓和其他以该地区为家的野生动物很重要，但保护该地区的森林对应对气候变化尤为重要。)”可推知，森林保护对改善气候有利，故选B项。
14.答案：D
解析：主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其文章首段“The Okapi Wildlife Reserve, located in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to one-sixth of the remaining wild okapi in the world. It protects many other wildlife species as well as one-fifth of the Ituri forest. But despite its status, the reserve is under threat from human activities. (位于刚果民主共和国的霍加皮野生动物保护区是联合国教科文组织的世界遗产，世界上仅存的野生霍加皮有六分之一生活在这里。它保护着许多其他野生物种以及五分之一的伊图里森林。但尽管它的地位，保护区正受到人类活动的威胁)”点明主题，全文都是围绕“霍加狓保护区受到人类活动的威胁”这个主题展开，D项“Endangered Okapi reserve threatened by human activities (濒危的霍加狓保护区受到人类活动的威胁)”最符合做本文标题。故选D项。
三、七选五
答案：CFADG
解析：①根据上文“Helping the environment and protecting our resources are very important activities.”可知此处应该是讲谁来保护环境和资源,因此C项“毫无疑问,学生可以发挥作用”符合语境,并且下文提出了一些保护环境和资源的方法,故选C。
②根据下文“Also, it takes decades for the bags to decompose. Therefore, whether you are shopping for food, clothes or books, use a reusable bag. This cuts down on litter and prevents animals from getting hold of them.”可推断此处也在说使用塑料袋的坏处,F项“这些东西会杀死被卡在里面的或误把它们当作食物的动物”符合题意,F中的These指代上文的Plastic bags,故选F。
③设空处为主题句。根据下文“Instead of buying individually packaged drinks, consider buying a reusable water bottle. Not only will this help protect the environment, but it will also help you save money.”可知本段主要是建议使用可重复使用的水瓶,A项“使用可重复使用的饮料容器”符合语境,故选A。
④根据上文“Use energy-efficient light bulbs instead of regular bulbs.”可推断此处讲使用节能灯泡的好处,D项“它们的使用时间更长,会为你节省一笔钱”承接上文,并且D中的They 指代上文的energy-efficient light bulbs,故选D。
⑤设空处为段尾句。根据上文“More water is wasted than we realize. Turn off the water tap when you are brushing your teeth. Don't turn your shower on until you're ready to get in and wash your hair. Limit your water usage as you wash the dishes.”可知本段主要都是关于怎样节约用水的,G项“养成这些习惯对环境和你的钱包都有好处”是对上文的总结,故选G。
四、书面表达
答案：
Dear teachers and fellow students,
World Environment Day is celebrated on June 5 every year, which is aimed at encouraging the protection of the environment.
To answer its call, I'm going to school by bike instead of taking the bus. At home I will turn off the tap while brushing my teeth. Besides, I will donate the used textbooks to the junior students. I believe all these efforts can help lessen my impact on the environment.
The earth is our shared home that is the one and only. Let's take action to build a better one for all of us!
That's all. Thank you!
