The day starts early for Tang Shengli， a bird protection volunteer in Lanshan county， Yongzhou， Hunan Province.At about 5 am， the 60-year-old is in uniform and ready to start his day’s work protecting and recording migratory birds.Located on the northern side of the Nanling Mountains， Lanshan is an important passageway for migratory birds.From September to December every year， more than 240 species of migratory birds fly from Siberia to Australia via Hunan.In the past 10 years， Tang has recorded more than 120 species of such birds with his camera.“The flight calls of the migratory birds at night attract me so much that I cannot sleep.All I want to do is get up and record them，” Tang says.
When Tang joined the Hunan provincial bird protection organization in 2013， he knew he faced a tough task.Numerous migratory birds were lost each year as a result of killing and illegal trade.At that time， poachers （偷猎者） lit up the hillside to attract the birds there and hunt them.Some nights hundreds of birds would be killed or caught， remembers Liao Changgui， an official with the local forestry bureau.
By day， Tang distributes brochures to villagers in Lanshan to raise public awareness of bird protection， while at night， he goes deep into the wilderness to tackle illegal hunting.“Many villagers didn’t think bird hunting was illegal， and some made a living from it.Our work has affected their business，” Tang explains， adding his wife was threatened at their home in order to stop him doing his work.
To stop poaching， in October 2012， the National Forestry and Grassland Administration issued a notice to prevent the illegal hunting of migratory birds.In December that year， the Hunan provincial government promised to fight against poaching and establish a bird monitoring and protection system.So far， 43 migratory bird protection stations have been built across the province， covering almost all key points on the passageway.In 2020， a “lights out” program started in Lanshan county to prevent the birds from being distracted （使分心）.
On 1 November， the Hunan provincial government issued a ban on hunting migratory birds and other wildlife listed under national and provincial protection.Nationwide， the National Forestry and Grassland Administration is carrying out a two-month special action plan to strengthen patrols and remove illegal hunting equipment in national parks， nature reserves and bird migration routes across the country.

A small group of Cuban dive instructors have started a project to grow coral （珊瑚） and replant it.The divers hope to restore part of Cuba’s barrier reef （堡礁）.And they are working with limited financial support and using materials recovered from the coast.
Luis is one of the project’s leaders.The fisherman grew up on Cuba’s north coast.He said， “It’s incredible to see the loss of coral in the past 30 years.” He added， “Our dream is to make the parts of the barrier reef that have lost their coral grow again.”
To make that happen， Luis worked with other dive instructors and neighborhood schoolchildren with the support from Cuba’s environmental organizations.They began collecting pieces of coral spread across the ocean floor after large storms three years ago.The pieces were then hung on branches of underwater “trees” made from old plastic pipes and supported by fishing lines recovered from the coast.They were then “replanted” on the coral reef， fixed by nails driven into the rock.In a year， most survive and grow enough to repopulate the part of the barrier reef between 60 to 80 meters in length.
Like many coral reefs around the world， the ones in Cuba are threatened by changing water temperatures， destructive plants and animals， pollution and over-fishing.It is reported that the world has already lost 30 to 50 per cent of its coral reefs.
Karine is a French diver who just visited Cuba for the first time.She said the reef looked better than others she had seen on dives elsewhere in the world， including in Africa.“The coral needs to be protected，” she said after two dives on a recent trip to nearby Varadero.She said， “It’s good to see that in Cuba they take care of what they have， and that it is still not too affected by too much tourism.”
5.What can we infer from the recovery of the Cuba’s barrier reef？
A.It is just a new project to start.
B.It is a slow and difficult process.
C.It is mainly carried out by schoolchildren.
D.It is greatly supported by the government.
6.How do the dive instructors fix the pieces of coral on the reef？
A.They are fastened to the rock by fishing lines.
B.They are supported by the trees on the ocean floor.
C.They are placed firmly by nails driven into the rock.
D.They are hung by old plastic pipes collected on the coast.
7.What does the underlined word “destructive” in Paragraph 4 mean？
A.Endangered. B.Beneficial.
C.Plentiful. D.Harmful.
8.What is Karine’s attitude towards the Cubans’ effort to recover the coral reef？
A.Doubtful. B.Concerned.
C.Positive. D.Disappointed.

Celebrated on 16 June， World Sea Turtle Day is a day dedicated to one of the world’s oldest and most fascinating creatures.Unfortunately， this is also a day to remind everyone of the sea turtle’s endangered status.
Sea turtles have been around since the time of dinosaurs.They typically live to between 30 and 50 years of age， spending most of their lives at sea.Part of the reptile （爬行动物） family， sea turtles can hold their breath for up to five hours.This comes in handy since some species can dive as deep as 1，000 meters below the water’s surface before needing to come up for air.Sea turtles also like to get around， often migrating very long distances.One species can migrate over 12，000 km from nesting beaches in Japan all the way to feeding grounds near Mexico.
Female sea turtles return to the beach they hatched on to nest.Some species lay up to 250 eggs in a single nest， and each egg takes around 60 days to incubate （孵化）.However， it’s estimated that only one in a thousand baby turtles can survive to adulthood.
Although it is worth having a day to celebrate these magnificent animals， World Sea Turtle Day also has a more serious purpose： to raise awareness of their difficult situation.Sea turtles are threatened with extinction.Plastic trash is a big problem because the turtles often mistake bags and other plastic items for food like jellyfish.In fact， half of all sea turtles have consumed plastic at some time in their lives.
Rising global temperature is another threat facing turtles.Turtle eggs that lie on warm sand are more likely to result in female turtles， which affects the animal’s diversity.Also， trash-covered beaches can make it hard for baby turtles to reach the sea.
However you want to celebrate World Sea Turtle Day， take some time to spread the word about what we can do to protect these ancient animals.Reducing the amount of plastic we use is just one small way we can help make sure sea turtles stick around for another 100 million years.
9.Which of the following can replace the underlined words “comes in handy” in Paragraph 2？
A.is useful B.is interesting
C.is close D.is difficult
10.What can we infer from the whole passage？
A.Turtles are a species which hates going around.
B.Turtles’ rate of survival is low though they are productive.
C.Turtles came into being long after the extinction of dinosaurs.
D.Turtles， belonging to reptile family， spend most of their lives on land.
11.According to the passage， which of the following is not the problem sea turtles are facing？
A.Turtle eggs lying on warm sand tend to result in female turtles.
B.Sea turtles often mistake plastic bags and other plastic items for food.
C.Sea turtles are captured by fishermen for food or for other purposes.
D.Baby turtles will have difficulty in reaching the sea when they are on trash-covered beaches.
12.What’s the main idea of the passage？
A.The factors of causing sea turtles to die out.
B.Raising the awareness of protecting sea turtles.
C.A brief introduction of sea turtles’ living habits.
D.How sea turtles lay eggs.

Thanks to Earth， we have fresh air to breathe， clean water to drink and warm sunshine to enjoy.But it seems that we may have taken these things for granted and not realized that our planet is getting “sick”. 13 .More than 15，000 researchers around the world have written a letter to warn about environmental threats.
Among those environmental challenges， global warming sits at the top.Global average temperatures have risen by more than 0.5℃ since 1992. 14 . It means that heat waves would last around a third longer and rainstorms would be about a third more intense （猛烈的） if we take no action.The increase in sea levels would also be much higher.Countries like Singapore and Japan that are at low altitudes may be covered by the ocean in the future.
15 .It’s getting harder to get fresh water.Ocean pollution has become serious.Since 1992， the human population has grown by 2 billion， while the populations of all other animals have dropped by nearly 30 per cent.Scientists say that we are experiencing the sixth mass extinction in history.More than two-thirds of the world’s wildlife could be gone by the end of the decade if action isn’t taken soon. 16 .
However， we have made some progress.That’s because we gradually stopped using chemicals that can break down ozone， a gas that protects Earth. 17 .
A.The change is a big deal
B.Now， scientists have given us a warning
C.But this is not the only problem people are facing
D.We can make a big difference when we act right now， the letter says
E.Scientists also conclude that global warming will continue for centuries
F.Some rare animals， like black rhinos， might just appear in the pictures soon
G.All the countries in the world should take action on behalf of future generations

Longji Rice Terraces①
Imagine mountains wrapped② in silver water， shining in the spring sun.Summer sees③ the mountains turn bright green with growing rice.During autumn， these same mountains are gold， and in winter they are covered in sheets of white frost④.These are the colours of the Longji Rice Terraces.
These terraces were built by the local Zhuang and Yao people， [1]to whom Guangxi is home.Starting in the Yuan Dynasty⑤， work on the terraces took hundreds of years， until its completion⑥ in the early Qing Dynasty.[2]Reaching as far as the eye can see， these terraces cover tall mountains， often from the bottom to the very top.

So why did these people go to so much trouble to turn the entire mountains into terraces？ Firstly， there are few large， flat areas of land in the region⑦.[3]Building the terraces therefore⑧ meant that they could increase the areas in which they could grow rice. Secondly， although the region has plenty of rain， the mountains are steep⑨ and the soil⑩ is shallow .The flat terraces catch the rainwater and prevent the soil from being washed away .

[4]But perhaps what is most significant is the way in which people have worked in harmony with nature to make these terraces and grow rice. The terraces are cleverly designed ， with hundreds of waterways that connect with each other.During the rainy season， [5]it is along these waterways that rainwater moves down the mountains and into the terraces. The sun heats the water and turns it into vapour.This forms clouds from which rain falls down onto the mountain terraces once again .[6]These terraces also provide a perfect environment for birds and fish， some of which feed on insects that can harm the rice crops .
[4]what引导主语从句；in which引导定语从句，先行词为the way。

龙脊梯田
想象一下：春日，群山被银白色的水田包裹，在阳光下闪闪发光；盛夏，佳禾吐绿，将群山染成一片青翠；秋收，满山金黄；而隆冬，它们又披上了冰霜做成的雪白毛毯。这就是绚丽多彩的龙脊梯田。
龙脊梯田的建造者是广西当地的壮族和瑶族居民。梯田从元朝开始修建，历经数百年，至清朝初期完工。目之所及，梯田包裹着巍峨的高山，往往从山脚一直盘绕到山顶。
为什么当地人要如此大费周章，将整片山地变成梯田呢？首先，这里缺乏大面积的平原，建造梯田意味着他们能够扩大水稻的种植面积。其次，尽管该地区多雨，但山地坡度大、土层浅薄，水平的梯田能够储存雨水，防止土壤流失。
但也许最令人惊叹的还是人与自然和谐相处建造梯田并种植水稻的方式。这些梯田设计巧妙，其间有几百条相互连通的水渠。在雨季，雨水会沿着这些水渠从山上流下进入梯田。水分经太阳蒸发成为水蒸气，水蒸气形成云，而雨水又从云中再次落到山上的梯田里。这些梯田也为鸟类和鱼类提供了绝佳的栖息地，而一部分鸟和鱼又以危害水稻的昆虫为食。
尽管现代科技有助于提高农作物的产量，但对珍视传统的当地人来说，这些梯田依然具有重要的意义。这种认识通过家族代代相传，后代子孙一直沿用古老的农耕方式维持着梯田的运作。今天，成千上万的游客慕名而来，欣赏这由人与自然共同创造的壮丽奇观。

Longji Rice Terraces①
Imagine mountains wrapped② in silver water， shining in the spring
sun.Summer sees③ the mountains turn bright green with growing
rice.During autumn， these same mountains are gold， and in winter they are covered in sheets of white frost④.These are the colours of the Longji Rice Terraces.
【读文清障】
①terrace n.梯田
②wrap v.包，裹
③see v.（某个时间或地点）经历/发生/见证
④frost n.霜
These terraces were built by the local Zhuang and Yao people， [1]to
whom Guangxi is home.Starting in the Yuan Dynasty⑤， work on the
terraces took hundreds of years， until its completion⑥ in the early Qing
Dynasty.[2]Reaching as far as the eye can see， these terraces cover tall
mountains， often from the bottom to the very top.

[2]Reaching as far as the eye can see 为动词-ing形式作状语。
⑤dynasty n.朝代
⑥completion n.完成，结束
So why did these people go to so much trouble to turn the entire
mountains into terraces？ Firstly， there are few large， flat areas of land
in the region⑦.[3]Building the terraces therefore⑧ meant that they could
increase the areas in which they could grow rice. Secondly， although the
region has plenty of rain， the mountains are steep⑨ and the soil⑩ is
shallow .The flat terraces catch the rainwater and prevent the soil from
being washed away .
[3]Building the terraces为动词-ing短语作主语；that引导宾语从

⑦region n.地区，区域
⑧therefore adv.因此，由此
⑨steep adj.陡的，陡峭的
⑩soil n.土壤
shallow adj.浅的
prevent v.阻挡，防止
prevent sb/sth from doing sth 阻止某人/某物做某事
wash away 冲走
[4]But perhaps what is most significant is the way in which people
have worked in harmony with nature to make these terraces and grow
rice. The terraces are cleverly designed ， with hundreds of waterways
that connect with each other.During the rainy season， [5]it is along
these waterways that rainwater moves down the mountains and into the
terraces. The sun heats the water and turns it into vapour.This forms
clouds from which rain falls down onto the mountain terraces once again
.[6]These terraces also provide a perfect environment for birds and
fish， some of which feed on insects that can harm the rice crops .
[4]what引导主语从句；in which引导定语从句，先行词为the

waterway n.水路，航道

[7]Although modern technology could help produce more crops，
these terraces still mean a lot to the local people for whom traditions hold
much value.[8]This knowledge is passed down through families，
which means that new generations continue to use ancient methods of
agriculture to maintain the terraces. Today， the Longji Rice Terraces
attract thousands of visitors who come to admire this great wonder
created by people and nature working together.

【参考译文】
龙脊梯田
想象一下：春日，群山被银白色的水田包裹，在阳光下闪闪
发光；盛夏，佳禾吐绿，将群山染成一片青翠；秋收，满山金
黄；而隆冬，它们又披上了冰霜做成的雪白毛毯。这就是绚丽多
彩的龙脊梯田。
龙脊梯田的建造者是广西当地的壮族和瑶族居民。梯田从元朝开
始修建，历经数百年，至清朝初期完工。目之所及，梯田包裹着巍峨
的高山，往往从山脚一直盘绕到山顶。
为什么当地人要如此大费周章，将整片山地变成梯田呢？首先，
这里缺乏大面积的平原，建造梯田意味着他们能够扩大水稻的种植面
积。其次，尽管该地区多雨，但山地坡度大、土层浅薄，水平的梯田
能够储存雨水，防止土壤流失。
但也许最令人惊叹的还是人与自然和谐相处建造梯田并种植水稻
的方式。这些梯田设计巧妙，其间有几百条相互连通的水渠。在雨
季，雨水会沿着这些水渠从山上流下进入梯田。水分经太阳蒸发成为
水蒸气，水蒸气形成云，而雨水又从云中再次落到山上的梯田里。这
些梯田也为鸟类和鱼类提供了绝佳的栖息地，而一部分鸟和鱼又以危
害水稻的昆虫为食。
尽管现代科技有助于提高农作物的产量，但对珍视传统的当地人
来说，这些梯田依然具有重要的意义。这种认识通过家族代代相传，
后代子孙一直沿用古老的农耕方式维持着梯田的运作。今天，成千上
万的游客慕名而来，欣赏这由人与自然共同创造的壮丽奇观。

The day starts early for Tang Shengli， a bird protection volunteer in
Lanshan county， Yongzhou， Hunan Province.At about 5 am， the 60-
year-old is in uniform and ready to start his day’s work protecting and
recording migratory birds.Located on the northern side of the Nanling
Mountains， Lanshan is an important passageway for migratory birds.
From September to December every year， more than 240 species of
migratory birds fly from Siberia to Australia via Hunan.In the past 10 years， Tang has recorded more than 120 species of such birds with his amera.“The flight calls of the migratory birds at night attract me so much that I cannot sleep.All I want to do is get up and record them，” Tang says.
When Tang joined the Hunan provincial bird protection organization
in 2013， he knew he faced a tough task.Numerous migratory birds were
lost each year as a result of killing and illegal trade.At that time，
poachers （偷猎者） lit up the hillside to attract the birds there and hunt
them.Some nights hundreds of birds would be killed or caught，
remembers Liao Changgui， an official with the local forestry bureau.
By day， Tang distributes brochures to villagers in Lanshan to raise
public awareness of bird protection， while at night， he goes deep into
the wilderness to tackle illegal hunting.“Many villagers didn’t think
bird hunting was illegal， and some made a living from it.Our work has
affected their business，” Tang explains， adding his wife was
threatened at their home in order to stop him doing his work.
To stop poaching， in October 2012， the National Forestry and
Grassland Administration issued a notice to prevent the illegal hunting of
migratory birds.In December that year， the Hunan provincial
government promised to fight against poaching and establish a bird
monitoring and protection system.So far， 43 migratory bird protection
stations have been built across the province， covering almost all key
points on the passageway.In 2020， a “lights out” program started in
Lanshan county to prevent the birds from being distracted （使分心）.
On 1 November， the Hunan provincial government issued a ban on
hunting migratory birds and other wildlife listed under national and
provincial protection.Nationwide， the National Forestry and Grassland
Administration is carrying out a two-month special action plan to
strengthen patrols and remove illegal hunting equipment in national
parks， nature reserves and bird migration routes across the country.

A small group of Cuban dive instructors have started a project to grow
coral （珊瑚） and replant it.The divers hope to restore part of Cuba’s
barrier reef （堡礁）.And they are working with limited financial support
and using materials recovered from the coast.
Luis is one of the project’s leaders.The fisherman grew up on
Cuba’s north coast.He said， “It’s incredible to see the loss of coral
in the past 30 years.” He added， “Our dream is to make the parts of
the barrier reef that have lost their coral grow again.”
To make that happen， Luis worked with other dive instructors and
neighborhood schoolchildren with the support from Cuba’s
environmental organizations.They began collecting pieces of coral spread
across the ocean floor after large storms three years ago.The pieces were
then hung on branches of underwater “trees” made from old plastic
pipes and supported by fishing lines recovered from the coast.They were
then “replanted” on the coral reef， fixed by nails driven into the
rock.In a year， most survive and grow enough to repopulate the part of
the barrier reef between 60 to 80 meters in length.
Like many coral reefs around the world， the ones in Cuba are
threatened by changing water temperatures， destructive plants and
animals， pollution and over-fishing.It is reported that the world has
already lost 30 to 50 per cent of its coral reefs.
Karine is a French diver who just visited Cuba for the first time.She
said the reef looked better than others she had seen on dives elsewhere in
the world， including in Africa.“The coral needs to be protected，” she
said after two dives on a recent trip to nearby Varadero.She said， “It’s
good to see that in Cuba they take care of what they have， and that it is
still not too affected by too much tourism.”

5. What can we infer from the recovery of the Cuba’s barrier reef？
A. It is just a new project to start.
B. It is a slow and difficult process.
C. It is mainly carried out by schoolchildren.
D. It is greatly supported by the government.
解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句可知，他们所用的资

A. They are fastened to the rock by fishing lines.
B. They are supported by the trees on the ocean floor.
C. They are placed firmly by nails driven into the rock.
D. They are hung by old plastic pipes collected on the coast.

hung ... fixed by nails driven into the rock.可知，他们将珊瑚碎片
用钉子固定在礁石上来“移植”珊瑚到珊瑚礁上。
7. What does the underlined word “destructive” in Paragraph 4 mean？
A. Endangered. B. Beneficial.
C. Plentiful. D. Harmful.
解析： 词义猜测题。根据第四段中的Like many coral reefs

单词和harmful意思一致。
8. What is Karine’s attitude towards the Cubans’ effort to recover the
coral reef？
A. Doubtful. B. Concerned.
C. Positive. D. Disappointed.
解析： 观点态度题。根据最后一段最后一句可知， Karine对于

Celebrated on 16 June， World Sea Turtle Day is a day dedicated to
one of the world’s oldest and most fascinating creatures.Unfortunately，
this is also a day to remind everyone of the sea turtle’s endangered
status.
Sea turtles have been around since the time of dinosaurs.They
typically live to between 30 and 50 years of age， spending most of their
lives at sea.Part of the reptile （爬行动物） family， sea turtles can hold
their breath for up to five hours.This comes in handy since some species
can dive as deep as 1，000 meters below the water’s surface before
needing to come up for air.Sea turtles also like to get around， often
migrating very long distances.One species can migrate over 12，000 km
from nesting beaches in Japan all the way to feeding grounds near Mexico.
Female sea turtles return to the beach they hatched on to nest.Some
species lay up to 250 eggs in a single nest， and each egg takes around 60
days to incubate （孵化）.However， it’s estimated that only one in a
thousand baby turtles can survive to adulthood.
Although it is worth having a day to celebrate these magnificent
animals， World Sea Turtle Day also has a more serious purpose： to raise
awareness of their difficult situation.Sea turtles are threatened with
extinction.Plastic trash is a big problem because the turtles often mistake
bags and other plastic items for food like jellyfish.In fact， half of all sea
turtles have consumed plastic at some time in their lives.
Rising global temperature is another threat facing turtles.Turtle eggs
that lie on warm sand are more likely to result in female turtles， which
affects the animal’s diversity.Also， trash-covered beaches can make it
hard for baby turtles to reach the sea.
However you want to celebrate World Sea Turtle Day， take some
time to spread the word about what we can do to protect these ancient
animals.Reducing the amount of plastic we use is just one small way we
can help make sure sea turtles stick around for another 100 million years.

9. Which of the following can replace the underlined words “comes in
handy” in Paragraph 2？
A. is useful B. is interesting
C. is close D. is difficult
解析： 词义猜测题。根据画线短语所在句和上一句可知，This
指的是上一句中的sea turtles can hold their breath for up to five
hours，所以这个特性对于需要潜水深至1，000米的动物来说是有
用的，所以A项能最好地解释画线短语的含义。
10. What can we infer from the whole passage？
A. Turtles are a species which hates going around.
B. Turtles’ rate of survival is low though they are productive.
C. Turtles came into being long after the extinction of dinosaurs.
D. Turtles， belonging to reptile family， spend most of their lives on
land.
解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，海龟虽然很多
产，但存活率低。
11. According to the passage， which of the following is not the problem
sea turtles are facing？
A. Turtle eggs lying on warm sand tend to result in female turtles.
B. Sea turtles often mistake plastic bags and other plastic items for food.
C. Sea turtles are captured by fishermen for food or for other purposes.
D. Baby turtles will have difficulty in reaching the sea when they are on
trash-covered beaches.
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段最后两句和第五段内容可知，A、B、D三项都是海龟正面临的问题。只有C项没有被提及。
12. What’s the main idea of the passage？
A. The factors of causing sea turtles to die out.
B. Raising the awareness of protecting sea turtles.
C. A brief introduction of sea turtles’ living habits.
D. How sea turtles lay eggs.
解析： 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的Unfortunately，this is
also a day to remind everyone of the sea turtle’s endangered status.
可知，本文主要是通过海龟日告诉大众海龟所处的危险处境，即
有哪些因素造成海龟濒临灭绝。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Thanks to Earth， we have fresh air to breathe， clean water to drink and warm sunshine to enjoy.But it seems that we may have taken these things for granted and not realized that our planet is getting
“sick”. 13 .More than 15，000 researchers around the world have
written a letter to warn about environmental threats.
Among those environmental challenges， global warming sits at the
top.Global average temperatures have risen by more than 0.5℃ since
1992. 14 . It means that heat waves would last around a third longer
and rainstorms would be about a third more intense （猛烈的） if we take
no action.The increase in sea levels would also be much higher.Countries
like Singapore and Japan that are at low altitudes may be covered by the
ocean in the future.
15 .It’s getting harder to get fresh water.Ocean pollution has
become serious.Since 1992， the human population has grown by 2
billion， while the populations of all other animals have dropped by nearly
30 per cent.Scientists say that we are experiencing the sixth mass
extinction in history.More than two-thirds of the world’s wildlife could
be gone by the end of the decade if action isn’t taken soon. 16 .
However， we have made some progress.That’s because we
gradually stopped using chemicals that can break down ozone， a gas that
protects Earth. 17 .
A. The change is a big deal
B. Now， scientists have given us a warning
C. But this is not the only problem people are facing
D. We can make a big difference when we act right now， the letter says
E. Scientists also conclude that global warming will continue for centuries
F. Some rare animals， like black rhinos， might just appear in the
pictures soon
G. All the countries in the world should take action on behalf of future
generations
