Aiming to expose students to nature at short range, our class had a spring outing last Saturday. As scheduled, gathering together at 8:30 am at the gate of our school, we went to our destination by bus; cheers and laughter echoed in the air. Much to our delight, the trip involved mountain climbing as well as a picnic. Hardly had we reached the top of the mountain when we enjoyed an awesome view of the whole city.Then we had a full meal.
Exhausted as we were on the way back to school, we all regarded this outing as an unforgettable experience, for it not only made us get close to nature, but also enhanced the friendship between us students and promoted our mutual cooperation.Period Four Writing
Ⅰ.A
【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍的是气候变化正在加速咸海的消失。
1.B 推理判断题。根据第三段“Decades ago, deep blue and filled with fish, the Aral was one of the world’s largest inland bodies of water…Today, the few remaining towns sit quietly along the former seabed of the Aral…”可知,本段主要是通过做比较展开的。故选B。
2.C 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“A dozen fish species went extinct, and businesses closed down. ‘The fish factories closed, the ships were stuck in the harbor, and the workers all left,’ said Madi Zhasekenov, former director of the Aral Sea Fisherman Museum in Aralsk, Kazakhstan. ‘It became only us locals.’”可推断,咸海周围的当地人失去了生计。故选C。
3.B 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“‘If there is no water, it will be very difficult for people to live,’ Bayniyazova said. ‘Now people are barely surviving.’” 可推断,Bayniyazova感到很担心。故选B。
4.D 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其根据第二段“Now, Bayniyazova and other residents say they’re facing a disaster they can’t beat:climate change, which is speeding up the decades-long disappearance of the Aral, once the lifeblood for the thousands living around it.”可知,本文主要讲的是气候变化正在加速咸海的消失。故选D。
B
【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了建立深色太阳能电池板,来取代使用煤和天然气等化石燃料发电的发电站,从而减少有害的温室气体排放。
5.B 词义猜测题。画线词前文提到“That is setting up fields of dark-coloured solar panels (太阳能电池板), also known as ‘solar forests’, which replace power stations that use fossil fuels such as coal and gas to make electricity…”说明采用深色的太阳能电池板,就可以取代使用煤和天然气等化石燃料发电的发电站,那么使用无污染的太阳能电池板就可以减少化石燃料排放的温室气体。故选B。
6.C 细节理解题。根据第二段“Some of the energy is used for photosynthesis in natural forests or to produce electricity in ‘solar forests’, but most returns to the atmosphere, heating it up.”可知,两种森林都会造成温度的升高,因此才会引起对这两种森林的争论。故选C。
7.C 细节理解题。第三段提到研究人员比较了干旱地区森林对气候危机的影响与类似环境下太阳能发电场的影响。根据“It turns out that it takes 2.5 years for the heat emitted by solar farms to be balanced by the carbon emissions that are avoided, thanks to the energy they produce. In the case of a natural forest of similar size, it would take more than 100 years of photosynthesis to balance its heating effect.”可知,在干燥地区,太阳能森林释放的热量需要2.5年才能与避免的碳排放相平衡,而天然森林则需要100多年,说明太阳能森林在平衡热效应方面更胜一筹。故选C。
8.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In dry places, building solar forests seems far more effective in addressing the climate crisis. Meanwhile, forests absorb about a third of annual carbon emissions and play a vital role in the global rain cycle, in maintaining biodiversity and in many other environmental and social contexts. Preventing them from being cut down and planting more trees in humid areas are of great significance…”可判断,在不同的环境下,太阳能森林和天然森林能发挥的功能、作用和优势也不同,因此将两种森林有效结合起来就可以发挥出最大的效果。故选D。
Ⅱ.第一节
One possible version:
A journey into nature
Recently, our school organized a park outing with the theme “Into Nature”. The main purpose was to enable us to get closer to nature.
During the outing, we walked along the park paths, appreciating the colourful flowers and tall trees. We also had a delightful picnic by the lake, where we shared stories and laughter. Some students even took the opportunity to depict the picturesque views. The response was overwhelmingly positive, as many students mentioned that this experience deepened their affection for nature.
It truly was a memorable and fulfilling journey.
第二节
【思路点拨】 本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了住在沿海城市的玛丽亚和彼得发现塑料袋被扔在海滩上,他们对此很苦恼,决定要做点什么。于是他们决定制作视频和写文章,并将它们发到网上来呼吁大家一起采取行动。视频和文章得到了人们积极的响应,在大家的共同和持续努力下,海岸恢复了美丽。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“两人很快吃完晚饭,上楼开始计划。”可知,第一段可描写玛丽亚和彼得商量对策,决定制作视频、写文章来呼吁大家一起采取行动。
②由第二段首句内容“他们既兴奋又紧张,在网上发布了视频和文章。”可知,第二段可描写视频和文章在网上发布后得到的反应以及大家的行动和结果。
2.续写线索:两人商量—做视频、写文章—发布到网上—网民有所反应—一起行动—沙滩变美
One possible version:
Quickly finishing their dinner, the pair went upstairs and started planning. Maria and Peter decided to take advantage of the Internet. “Maybe we can write an article to arouse people’s awareness (不定式作目的状语),” Maria proposed. “Good idea! We can also make a video!” Peter added. The next few hours witnessed (无灵主语句) their heated discussion and growing confidence in a clean and beautiful coast. The next day, they went to the beach and filmed a short video showing plastic bags lying on the beach and floating in the sea (现在分词作定语). Peter, who was good at writing (定语从句), wrote an article talking about the present situation of the beach and asking people to take part in the clean-up (现在分词作定语).
Excited and nervous, they posted the video and article online. To their amazement, their post went viral online immediately. Countless comments flooded in saying how heartbroken they were (现在分词作定语) when looking at the polluted beach and ocean (省略结构). What amazed Maria and Peter more (主语从句) was that numerous people in their community, encouraged by their efforts (过去分词作状语), offered to join in their clean-up. More and more people came to the beach to collect plastic bags (不定式作目的状语) and they also appealed to others to avoid throwing or using plastic bags. A year later, with their joint and continuous effort, the coast regained its beauty and Maria and Peter regained their long-awaited pleasure.Period Four Writing

●Ⅰ 阅读理解
A [2024·河北保定六校联考高二期中]
For generations, Nafisa Bayniyazova and her family have made a living growing melons, pumpkins and tomatoes on farms around the Aral Sea. Bayniyazova, 50, has spent most of her life near Muynak, in northwestern Uzbekistan, tending the land. Farm life was sometimes difficult but generally reliable and productive.
Now, Bayniyazova and other residents say they’re facing a disaster they can’t beat: climate change, which is speeding up the decades-long disappearance of the Aral, once the lifeblood for the thousands living around it.
Decades ago, deep blue and filled with fish, the Aral was one of the world’s largest inland bodies of water. Thousands of migrants from across Asia and Europe moved to the Aral’s shores for jobs popping up everywhere from canning factories to luxury vacation resorts. Today, the few remaining towns sit quietly along the former seabed of the Aral—technically classified as a lake, due to its lack of a direct outlet to the ocean, though residents and officials call it a sea.
Much of its early disappearance is due to humans’ engineering and agricultural projects going wrong, now paired with climate change. Summers are hotter and longer; winters, shorter and bitterly cold.
Without the moderating influence of a large body of water to regulate the climate, dust storms began to blow through towns. Strong winds caused dunes (沙丘) to swallow entire towns, and abandoned buildings were filled with sand. A dozen fish species went extinct, and businesses closed down. “The fish factories closed, the ships were stuck in the harbor, and the workers all left,” said Madi Zhasekenov, former director of the Aral Sea Fisherman Museum in Aralsk, Kazakhstan. “It became only us locals.”
On her Uzbekistan farm, Bayniyazova’s family has dug an earthen well, hoping to hold on to the precious little water that’s left. “If there is no water, it will be very difficult for people to live,” Bayniyazova said. “Now people are barely surviving.” She doesn’t plan to leave her farm but yet knows more hardships are likely ahead.
( )1.How is Paragraph 3 developed
A.By reasoning.
B.By making comparisons.
C.By experimenting.
D.By analysing data.
( )2.What can be inferred from Paragraph 5
A.The number of fish in the Aral Sea is increasing.
B.Madi Zhasekenov feels hopeful about his future.
C.Local people around the Aral have lost their livelihoods.
D.Madi Zhasekenov has adapted to the changing climate.
( )3.How does Bayniyazova feel now

A.The importance of the Aral Sea

B
The green, natural forest absorbs carbon dioxide from the air through photosynthesis (光合作用). There is another way of dealing with the climate crisis. That is setting up fields of dark-coloured solar panels (太阳能电池板), also known as “solar forests”, which replace power stations that use fossil fuels such as coal and gas to make electricity, thus mitigating harmful emissions (排放物) of greenhouse gases.
But since they are both relatively dark, they absorb a lot of solar radiation. Some of the energy is used for photosynthesis in natural forests or to produce electricity in “solar forests”, but most returns to the atmosphere, heating it up. Then what would be the more effective land use option in terms of the climate crisis: Planting a forest, or building solar panels This issue has long been debated by decision-makers around the world. Now, we may have an answer, thanks to a new study.
First, the researchers compared the impact of a forest on the climate crisis in a dry area to that of a solar farm in a similar environment. The researchers found that the albedo effect (反射效应) of both of these “forests” was similar, but that the absorption or prevention of carbon emissions was very different. It turns out that it takes 2.5 years for the heat emitted by solar farms to be balanced by the carbon emissions that are avoided, thanks to the energy they produce. In the case of a natural forest of similar size, it would take more than 100 years of photosynthesis to balance its heating effect.
“In dry places, building solar forests seems far more effective in addressing the climate crisis. Meanwhile, forests absorb about a third of annual carbon emissions and play a vital role in the global rain cycle, in maintaining biodiversity and in many other environmental and social contexts. Preventing them from being cut down and planting more trees in humid areas are of great significance,” explains one of the researchers in the study.
( )5.What does the underlined word “mitigating” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A.Releasing. B.Decreasing.
C.Generating. D.Stabilizing.
( )6.What is the root cause of the long-running debate over the two types of forests
A.They cause much damage to the land.
B.They result in a serious loss of farmland.
C.They contribute to the warming of the atmosphere.
D.They lose energy during the absorption of solar radiation.
( )7.What did the researchers find in the study conducted in the dry environment
A.The natural forest exhibits a stronger albedo effect.
B.The solar forest can generate more energy in dry areas.
C.The solar forest is superior in balancing the heating effect.
D.The natural forest is more effective in solving the climate crisis.
( )8.What can be concluded from the last paragraph
A.More trees should be planted in dry regions.
B.More methods should be adopted to address the climate crisis.
C.Fields of solar panels should be set up everywhere on the earth.
D.Building solar panels and planting trees should be effectively combined.

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。
Maria and Peter lived in a coastal city. The greatest pleasure in summer for them was to swim near their local beach after school. But one day they started to lose their enthusiasm for swimming in the water. More often than not, they would find plastic bags thrown on the beach. Worse still, as they swam in the water, some plastic bags would float around them and even stick to their legs when they walked to the shore.
They were upset and decided something needed to be done to stop the beautiful sea becoming consumed by waste.One weekend,Maria and Peter brought a big bag to the beach and determined to clean it up. Sweat streamed down from their foreheads while they bent down and picked up the plastic bags. To their disappointment, after a day’s hard work, there were still many plastic bags lying on the beach or floating in the water. Going home with aching legs and arms, Maria and Peter were almost defeated by a strong sense of failure.
That night over dinner with their parents, the pair ate silently. Noticing their low spirits, Mother asked gently, “You two looked so down. What happened ”Exchanging glances with Peter, Maria replied in a low voice,“It’s those annoying plastic bags. We tried to clean up but it was just impossible.”Understanding the pair’s disappointment, their father patted them on the back and comforted, “Well, it’s really hard for just two of you to fix such a big problem.”“Just two of us,”complained Maria and Peter, looking at each other.Suddenly, an idea flashed through their minds, their eyes shining with excitement.“Yes,that’s the point! We should make more people aware of the problem and encourage them to take action!” the pair said in chorus.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。

The green, natural forest absorbs carbon dioxide from the

dealing with the climate crisis. That is setting up fields of dark-

as coal and gas to make electricity, thus mitigating harmful
emissions (排放物) of greenhouse gases.

[解析] 细节理解题。根据第二段“Some of the energy is used for
photosynthesis in natural forests or to produce electricity in
‘solar forests’, but most returns to the atmosphere, heating it
up.”可知，两种森林都会造成温度的升高，因此才会引起对这两种森
林的争论。故选C。

[解析] 细节理解题。第三段提到研究人员比较了干旱地区森林对气
候危机的影响与类似环境下太阳能发电场的影响。根据“It turns out
that it takes 2.5 years for the heat emitted by solar farms to be
balanced by the carbon emissions that are avoided, thanks to
the energy they produce. In the case of a natural forest of
similar size, it would take more than 100 years of
photosynthesis to balance its heating effect.”可知，在干燥地区，
太阳能森林释放的热量需要2.5年才能与避免的碳排放相平衡，而天
然森林则需要100多年，说明太阳能森林在平衡热效应方面更胜一筹。
故选C。

D.Building solar panels and planting trees should be effectively
combined.

[解析] 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In dry places, building solar
forests seems far more effective in addressing the climate crisis.
Meanwhile, forests absorb about a third of annual carbon
emissions and play a vital role in the global rain cycle, in
maintaining biodiversity and in many other environmental and
social contexts. Preventing them from being cut down and
planting more trees in humid areas are of great significance…”可
判断，在不同的环境下，太阳能森林和天然森林能发挥的功能、作
用和优势也不同，因此将两种森林有效结合起来就可以发挥出最大
的效果。故选D。

One possible version:
A journey into nature
Recently, our school organized a park outing with the
theme “Into Nature”. The main purpose was to enable us to
get closer to nature.
During the outing, we walked along the park paths,
appreciating the colourful flowers and tall trees. We also had
a delightful picnic by the lake, where we shared stories and
laughter. Some students even took the opportunity to depict
the picturesque views. The response was overwhelmingly
positive, as many students mentioned that this experience
deepened their affection for nature.
It truly was a memorable and fulfilling journey.
第二节 读后续写
[2024·安徽六安第一中学高二期中]
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。
Maria and Peter lived in a coastal city. The greatest
pleasure in summer for them was to swim near their local
beach after school. But one day they started to lose their
enthusiasm for swimming in the water. More often than not,
they would find plastic bags thrown on the beach.
Worse still, as they swam in the water, some plastic bags would
float around them and even stick to their legs when they
walked to the shore.
They were upset and decided something needed to be
done to stop the beautiful sea becoming consumed by waste.
One weekend,Maria and Peter brought a big bag to the beach
and determined to clean it up. Sweat streamed down from their
foreheads while they bent down and picked up the plastic bags.
To their disappointment, after a day's hard work, there were still
many plastic bags lying on the beach or floating in the water.
Going home with aching legs and arms, Maria and Peter were
almost defeated by a strong sense of failure.
That night over dinner with their parents, the pair ate
silently. Noticing their low spirits, Mother asked gently, “You two
looked so down. What happened ”Exchanging glances with Peter,
Maria replied in a low voice,“It's those annoying plastic bags.
We tried to clean up but it was just impossible.” Understanding
the pair's disappointment, their father patted them on the back
and comforted, “Well, it's really hard for just two of you to fix
such a big problem.”“Just two of us，”complained Maria and
Peter, looking at each other. Suddenly, an idea flashed through
their minds, their eyes shining with excitement.“Yes,that's the
point! We should make more people aware of the problem and
encourage them to take action!” the pair said in chorus.
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Quickly finishing their dinner, the pair went upstairs and
started planning._____________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Excited and nervous, they posted the video and article
online.________________________________________________________________

【思路点拨】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了住在沿海城市的玛丽
亚和彼得发现塑料袋被扔在海滩上，他们对此很苦恼，决定要做点
什么。于是他们决定制作视频和写文章，并将它们发到网上来呼吁
大家一起采取行动。视频和文章得到了人们积极的响应，在大家的
共同和持续努力下，海岸恢复了美丽。
【详解】
1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“两人很快吃完晚饭，上楼开始计划。”可知，第
一段可描写玛丽亚和彼得商量对策，决定制作视频、写文章来呼吁
大家一起采取行动。
②由第二段首句内容“他们既兴奋又紧张，在网上发布了视频和文
章。”可知，第二段可描写视频和文章在网上发布后得到的反应以及
大家的行动和结果。
2.续写线索：两人商量—做视频、写文章—发布到网上—网民有所反
应—一起行动—沙滩变美
One possible version：
Quickly finishing their dinner, the pair went upstairs and
started planning. Maria and Peter decided to take advantage of
the Internet. “Maybe we can write an article to arouse people's
awareness (不定式作目的状语)，” Maria proposed. “Good idea!
We can also make a video!” Peter added. The next few hours
witnessed (无灵主语句) their heated discussion and growing
confidence in a clean and beautiful coast. The next day, they
went to the beach and filmed a short video showing plastic
bags lying on the beach and floating in the sea (现在分词作
定语). Peter, who was good at writing (定语从句), wrote an
article talking about the present situation of the beach and
asking people to take part in the clean-up (现在分词作定语).
Excited and nervous, they posted the video and article
online. To their amazement, their post went viral online
immediately. Countless comments flooded in saying how
heartbroken they were (现在分词作定语) when looking at the
polluted beach and ocean (省略结构).
What amazed Maria and Peter more (主语从句) was that
numerous people in their community, encouraged by their
efforts (过去分词作状语), offered to join in their clean-up. More
and more people came to the beach to collect plastic bags
(不定式作目的状语) and they also appealed to others to avoid
throwing or using plastic bags. A year later, with their joint and
continuous effort, the coast regained its beauty and Maria and
Peter regained their long-awaited pleasure.
