Ⅳ.【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了虽然棕榈油被广泛利用,但是带来了严重的环境问题,人们因此开发了微生物油,并且专家认为此种油很有前景。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第一段“Palm oil(棕榈油) is the world’s most popular vegetable oil, found in half of all supermarket goods and seven out of every ten personal care products. It’s also used in some snacks, cleaning powder, and toothpaste. Since 2016, global palm oil consumption has risen by 73 percent.”可知,棕榈油被广泛使用。故选A。
2.C 推理判断题。根据第二段“The clearing of forests to make way for oil palm plantations is a major driver of the cutting down of trees in the hottest part of the world: between 1972 and 2015, the world’s two largest palm oil producing nations, Indonesia and Malaysia, lost 16 percent and 47 percent of their forests, respectively, to the crop. And that brings about environmental problems, such as climate change, and poor water quality. Biodiversity suffers a severe blow, too.”可推知,作者在第二段提到印度尼西亚和马来西亚是为了表明生产棕榈油付出了很高的代价。故选C。
3.B 细节理解题。根据第三段“For instance, he says, ‘Microbes can be grown quickly in a climate-controlled indoor space to produce high amounts of oil. We have so far identified more than 40 algae (藻类) and 70 other microbes which are rich in oil.’”可知,充足的材料来源让Philipp Arbter转向微生物油。故选B。
4.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段“When asked if the new oil can match palm oil prices, especially when it’s used in food, Chris Chuck, a chemical engineer at the University of Bath in England, said, ‘We should be in touching distance of the eatable oil market as long as mass production happens to bring the price down.’”可知,Chris Chuck对这种油的未来是乐观的。故选D。
Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了四种让露营更环保的方法。
1.D 根据上文“‘Leave no track’ is popular among many campers who are concerned about our environment and favour sustainable (可持续的) travel. Its goal is simple: to minimize human-created impacts on the natural world.”和下文中介绍的四种让露营更环保的方法可知,文章为总分结构,D项 (在这里学习如何可持续地升级夏季露营。) 是文章主题句,总领下文具体方法,符合语境。故选D。
2.E 根据本段主旨句“Reject plastic and paper.”可知,该段主要建议拒绝塑料和纸张。E项中的reusable paper towels和主旨句中的paper对应。E项 (露营者也可以购买可重复使用的纸巾,为了真的不留下任何痕迹。)符合语境。故选E。
3.C 根据上文“Outdoor retail (零售) brands like REI offer a wide variety of camping products to rent, including tents.”可知,上文提到,REI等户外零售品牌提供包括帐篷在内的各种露营产品的租赁服务。由此可知,C项 (他们甚至有其他户外必需品以供出租。)可承接上文,其中的they指代上文中的outdoor retail (零售) brands。故选C。
4.A 通读全段尤其根据最后一句“And remember, whatever is packed in should also be packed out.”可知,本段建议打包东西时把对地球的影响考虑在内。A项 (打包时要考虑到地球。)符合语境。故选A。
5.G 根据本段的主旨句“Only camp in designated (指定的) camping areas.”可知,本段主要建议只在指定的露营区露营。空后的句子都与“露营区”相关。G项 (尽管在人迹罕至的地方背包旅行听起来很吸引人,但这可能并不环保。)符合语境。故选G。
Ⅵ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中华文明与水的紧密联系。
1.admiration 考查名词。名词所有格people’s修饰名词。故填admiration。
2.courageous 考查形容词。提示词修饰名词fight,用形容词courageous作定语,意为“勇敢的”。故填courageous。
3.as 考查介词。take…as an example是固定短语,意为“以……为例”。故填as。
4.cleared 考查动词时态与语态。clear(清理)是句中谓语动词,与主语Yu之间是主动关系,讲述过去的事,应使用一般过去时。故填cleared。
5.constructed 考查非谓语动词。 first…around 256 BC作后置定语,construct(建造,修建)用非谓语动词形式,与其逻辑主语the Dujiangyan Irrigation System之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动。故填constructed。
6.is given 考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。give(赋予)是句中谓语动词,与主语water之间是被动关系,描述客观事实,应使用一般现在时,又因主语是不可数名词,谓语动词应使用单数形式。综上,谓语应用一般现在时的被动语态,单数形式。故填is given。
7.it 考查代词。根据句意可知,此处指代上文中water,用代词it。故填it。
8.and 考查连词。 “overcoming hardness with softness”和“non-action”是老子的思想,它们之间是并列关系,用连词and连接。故填and。
9.to show 考查非谓语动词。use…to do…是固定搭配,意为“用……来做……”,用不定式作目的状语。故填to show。
10.being 考查非谓语动词。 …the most present element in daily life作伴随状语,be(是)用非谓语动词形式,与其逻辑主语water之间是主动关系,用现在分词表主动。故填being。Unit 6 Nature in words
Beauty in nature
“I declare this world is so beautiful that I can hardly believe it exists.” The beauty of nature can have a profound effect on our senses, from the outer world to the inner, whether it results in disbelief in its very existence as Emerson notes, or feelings such as awe, wonder, or amazement. But what is it about nature that causes us to feel or declare that it is beautiful
When we think of beauty in nature, we might most immediately think of things that dazzle the senses—the peak of a mountain, the expanse of the sea, and the unfolding of the life of a flower. Often it is merely the sense of these things itself that gives us pleasure, and this emotional or affective response on our part seems to be important to our experience of beauty.
The inhabitants (居民) of the cities suppose that the country landscape is pleasant only half the year.To the attentive eye, each moment of the year has its own beauty, and in the same field it beholds (看见), every hour, a picture which was never seen before, and which shall never be seen again. Nature can reveal its beauty in all places and at all times to the eye that knows how to look for it.
In nature one doesn’t come across individuals that are independent from their environment; or rather, things are closely connected with their surroundings in ways that we don’t fully understand.Nothing is quite beautiful alone: nothing but is beautiful in the whole. All of these qualities of beauty seem to go beyond the mere impression of sensible forms that we started with, and what they require is what also serves as the basis of truth and goodness in nature.

Palm oil (棕榈油) is the world’s most popular vegetable oil, found in half of all supermarket goods and seven out of every ten personal care products. It’s also used in some snacks, cleaning powder, and toothpaste. Since 2016, global palm oil consumption has risen by 73 percent.
Yet palm oil and the appetite for it are problematic. The clearing of forests to make way for oil palm plantations is a major driver of the cutting down of trees in the hottest part of the world: between 1972 and 2015, the world’s two largest palm oil producing nations, Indonesia and Malaysia, lost 16 percent and 47 percent of their forests, respectively, to the crop. And that brings about environmental problems, such as climate change, and poor water quality. Biodiversity suffers a severe blow, too.
However, a better option may be just around the corner: oil made from microbes (微生物). “The technology is actually very old but was never really established in industry, and I always wondered why, because it has great potential (潜力),” says Philipp Arbter, co-founder of Colipi, an emerging startup that grows and adapts microbes to produce palm oil. For instance, he says, “Microbes can be grown quickly in a climate-controlled indoor space to produce high amounts of oil. We have so far identified more than 40 algae (藻类) and 70 other microbes which are rich in oil.”
Currently, most microbial oil startups are aiming for their first products to be in beauty products, rather than food, due to the higher price points they can get and the relatively fewer rules involved. When asked if the new oil can match palm oil prices, especially when it’s used in food, Chris Chuck, a chemical engineer at the University of Bath in England, said, “We should be in touching distance of the eatable oil market as long as mass production happens to bring the price down.”
( )1.What does the first paragraph show about palm oil
A.It is widely used.
B.It is easily available.
C.It makes the food taste better.
D.It has taken the lead in the oil market.
( )2.Why does the author mention Indonesia and Malaysia in Paragraph 2
A.To stress the importance of palm oil.
B.To present the growth environment of palm trees.
C.To show the high price of producing palm oil.
D.To explain the challenge of planting cash crops.
( )3.What makes Philipp Arbter turn to microbial oil
A.Its high quality as eatable oil.
B.The sufficient source of materials.
C.Its benefits for human health.
D.The successful practice in industry.
( )4.How does Chris Chuck feel about the future of microbial oil
A.Unconcerned. B.Confused.
C.Worried. D.Optimistic.

“Leave no track” is popular among many campers who are concerned about our environment and favour sustainable (可持续的) travel. Its goal is simple: to minimize human-created impacts on the natural world.1.
Reject plastic and paper. First and foremost, one of the easiest ways to reduce the impact of camping on the planet is to go plastic-and paper-free. Instead of single-use plastic and paper plates, choose bamboo or other recyclable camping dinnerware and food packages.2.
Rent or buy a used tent. Instead of brand-new equipment, consider renting camping equipment instead. Outdoor retail (零售) brands like REI offer a wide variety of camping products to rent, including tents.3. For those keen on purchasing something new, try brands like Patagonia that put sustainability first to reduce waste and support eco-friendly practices.
4. In addition to eco-friendly tents, it’s good to ensure that other camping essentials, from hiking shoes and sleeping bags to clothing and blankets, are also gentle on the environment. And remember, whatever is packed in should also be packed out.
Only camp in designated (指定的) camping areas.5. However, developed campgrounds, which are specifically designated for camping, are usually available by reservation and don’t require campers to walk wearily into the wilderness to clear space to set up a tent. Designated camping spots usually have other advantages like bathrooms, showers, picnic tables, and more.
A.Pack with the planet in mind.
B.Sort out what you really need when camping.
C.They even carry other outdoor essentials for rent.
D.Learn how to sustainably upgrade the summer camping here.
E.Campers can also buy reusable paper towels in order to genuinely leave no track.
F.Eco-friendly campers can learn how to update their skills with these simple tips.
G.Although backpacking off the beaten path sounds fascinating, it may not be eco-friendly.

Chinese civilization is one of the world’s ancient river civilizations. It originated thousands of years ago along the Yellow and Yangtze rivers, closely linking the culture to water from its beginning.
Many Chinese legends reflect people’s 1. (admire) for water, as well as 2. (courage) fight against natural disasters brought by water.

According to the book Xunzi, Confucius often gazed at water, believing 7. had virtues such as righteousness, justice and courage. He once said: “He who is wise loves water; he who is virtuous loves mountains.” Inspired by water, Laozi gave birth to the idea of “overcoming hardness with softness” 8. “non-action”.

Water, 10. (be) the most present element in daily life, is a root metaphor in Chinese culture that flows through Chinese civilization. (共73张PPT)
Beauty in nature
“I declare this world is so beautiful that I can hardly
believe it exists.” The beauty of nature can have a profound
effect on our senses, from the outer world to the inner,
whether it results in disbelief in its very existence as Emerson
notes, or feelings such as awe, wonder, or amazement. But
what is it about nature that causes us to feel or declare that
it is beautiful
When we think of beauty in nature, we might most
immediately think of things that dazzle the senses—the peak
of a mountain, the expanse of the sea, and the unfolding of
the life of a flower. Often it is merely the sense of these things
itself that gives us pleasure, and this emotional or affective
response on our part seems to be important to our experience
of beauty.
The inhabitants (居民) of the cities suppose that the country
landscape is pleasant only half the year.
To the attentive eye, each moment of the year has its own
beauty, and in the same field it beholds (看见), every hour, a
picture which was never seen before, and which shall never be
seen again. Nature can reveal its beauty in all places and at
all times to the eye that knows how to look for it.
In nature one doesn't come across individuals that are
independent from their environment; or rather, things are
closely connected with their surroundings in ways that we
don't fully understand. Nothing is quite beautiful alone：
nothing but is beautiful in the whole. All of these qualities of
beauty seem to go beyond the mere impression of sensible
forms that we started with, and what they require is what also
serves as the basis of truth and goodness in nature.

Palm oil (棕榈油) is the world's most popular vegetable oil,
found in half of all supermarket goods and seven out of every
ten personal care products. It's also used in some snacks,
cleaning powder, and toothpaste. Since 2016, global palm oil
consumption has risen by 73 percent.

Yet palm oil and the appetite for it are problematic. The
clearing of forests to make way for oil palm plantations is a
major driver of the cutting down of trees in the hottest part of
the world: between 1972 and 2015, the world's two largest
palm oil producing nations, Indonesia and Malaysia, lost 16
percent and 47 percent of their forests, respectively, to the crop.
And that brings about environmental problems, such as climate
change, and poor water quality. Biodiversity suffers a severe
blow, too.

However, a better option may be just around the corner:
oil made from microbes (微生物). “The technology is actually
very old but was never really established in industry, and I
always wondered why， because it has great potential (潜力),”
says Philipp Arbter, co-founder of Colipi, an emerging startup
that grows and adapts microbes to produce palm oil. For
instance, he says, “Microbes can be grown quickly in a climate-
controlled indoor space to produce high amounts of oil. We
have so far identified more than 40 algae (藻类) and 70 other
microbes which are rich in oil.”

Currently, most microbial oil startups are aiming for their
first products to be in beauty products, rather than food, due
to the higher price points they can get and the relatively fewer
rules involved. When asked if the new oil can match palm oil
prices, especially when it's used in food, Chris Chuck, a chemical
engineer at the University of Bath in England, said, “We should
be in touching distance of the eatable oil market as long as
mass production happens to bring the price down.”
