三、阅读理解(本大题共20小题,每题2分,共40分)
As we know, bees and butterflies are pollinators (传粉昆虫). But do you know how butterflies and bees pollinate In fact, they are getting their own transport network as bee bus stops start to appear around UK cities and across Europe. Bee bus stops are similar to the bus stops we see today. The only difference is that there are small gardens (花园) on the top. The gardens are full of flowers for pollinators.
A company (公司) named Clear Channel is working with the Wildlife Trusts, a group that works to protect wildlife in the UK, to set up such bee bus stops in cities across the UK. Clear Channel hopes to set up at least 1,000 bee bus stops in the UK. In fact, the company has already started similar programs in several countries in Europe. Utrecht, Europe’s first city to get bee bus stops now has more than 300.
The number of pollinators was becoming smaller and smaller in the UK year by year, according to the Wildlife Trusts. It worried people a lot. Luckily, the idea of bee bus stops came out in time and it is working out fine. A study shows that the number of pollinators in the UK has stopped dropping over the last few years.
As well as the pollinators like bees and butterflies benefit, the bus stops can also help to lower city temperature. Even though the gardens on their tops are small, together they add up to a much larger area. “We are facing the problem of global warming (全球变暖) and we need to use everything we’ve got to help solve it. The bee bus stops are one of our solutions.” says a worker of the Wildlife Trusts. “Although bee bus stops are small, they can make a big difference.”

C.It still has 300 bee bus stops to build. D.It first set up bee bus stops in Utrecht.
23.What does the underlined word “benefit” in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese

24.Which of the following best describes bee bus stops according to the passage
A.Meaningless. B.Beautiful. C.Healthy. D.Helpful.

Searching for parking spaces has long been a headache for many office workers in many big cities of China, especially for those working in Central Business Districts (中央商务区). Parking near their companies for five days a week could cost them a lot of money. At the same time, even with prices for parking lots in residential areas (居民区) rising, most of their spaces stay idle during workdays.
Now a new form of sharing economy has appeared in China—the shared parking space. It has become a huge market in some big cities. In Qingdao, a coastal city in Shandong, up to 10, 000 personal parking spaces have been turned into shared ones with the help of “Airparking”, an online shared parking platform developed by a network company from Guangzhou.
Users can share and order a parking place by downloading and using a special app. People who have idle parking spaces can share some information, including the parking position (位置), license number and time limit on the platform. With the information, users can easily find the nearest place to park. The average parking cost for shared parking is 4 yuan each hour, almost the same as the service cost in traditional parking spaces.
Qingdao is one of the Chinese cities that encourage shared parking. Some other big cities, including Beijing, Shanghai and Hefei, have also begun to try this idea. The Shanghai government, for example, has set up more than 6, 500 shared parking spaces to encourage the public to use. Shared parking will be more and more helpful to the drivers.
31.In the first paragraph, the writer points out that ________.
A.we should find a good way to use parking spaces in big cities
B.prices of parking spaces are rising quickly in some cities of China
C.it’s difficult to find parking spaces in Central Business Districts
D.many people want to find parking spaces in residential districts
32.The underlined word “idle” probably means ________ in Chinese in Paragraph 1.
A.懒散的 B.降价的 C.闲置的 D.废弃的
33.If you want to use shared parking in Qingdao, you should ________.
A.download and use a special app
B.share your personal information
C.have a parking space of your own
D.work in Central Business Districts
34.The structure of the passage is ________.
A. B. C. D.
35.What can we infer from the passage
A.Qingdao has fewer shared parking spaces than Shanghai.
B.Shared parking will probably become more and more popular.
C.Shared parking is less expensive than traditional parking service.
D.It’s hard to find parking spaces in residential areas during workdays.
Having grown up in Arizona with the Grand Canyon and the red plateaus (高原) of Sedona in my backyard, I spent many younger days fishing and exploring the mysterious land. I believed this southwestern state is home to the most beautiful landscape on Earth. No foreign scenery could compare with its endless blue sky and great mountains.
I thought so until I was invited to visit a southwestern province in China. On my trip to Guizhou, I had the chance to go boating on Wanfeng Lake. At one point I rested, floating at the centre of the lake, listening to the spaces between silence and looking at the mountains around me. I thought about my childhood, and wished I had listened more closely to my father’s fishing stories.
During my trip around the city of Xingyi, in Guizhou, I saw the artworks of the Bouyei ethnic group (布依族). They use colours produced from plants to make clothes of bright blues and greens. Local elders still practise weaving (编织) with wooden machines and pass that tradition on to their grandchildren. The history here is easily noticed. One could reach out, touch it, and breathe it. It reminded me of my home. My mother loved to make our home more beautiful with paintings and some handmade artworks. The designs were ancient, and carried wisdom within them. This Earth is our home, and we celebrate its wonders. I caught that same feeling while enjoying the artworks in Xingyi.
I’ve lived away from Arizona for 10 years, living a new life in China. I’ve successfully built myself a family and a career. I feel as though I have everything that I need. For a moment, in Guizhou, I felt home.
36.What did the writer believe about his hometown
A.It was a fishing village in America. B.Its natural beauty was incomparable.
C.It was the most beautiful place on Earth. D.The writer spent a painful childhood there.
37.What did the writer do on Wanfeng Lake
A.Catch fish. B.Enjoy a boat trip.
C.Listen to stories. D.Climb mountains.
38.What does the underlined phrase “reach out” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Show interest in something. B.Work hard to achieve something.
C.Keep in touch with something. D.Move one’s hand towards something.
39.How did the writer feel while enjoying the artworks in Xingyi
A.Homesick. B.Excited. C.Worried. D.Nervous.
40.What is the best title of the passage
A.Exploring beauty in Arizona B.Living a quiet life in China
C.Feeling at home in Guizhou D.Discovering history in Guizhou
