That night，Fiona told her mother about everything.Her mother said，"My dear，you cannot(16) friends with a smile or a few good words.If you want true friends，you must give them time and real care."

Most trees grow a lot in late spring and early summer. During this time, trees produce something called chlorophyll. It is like a magic “food-maker” that helps plants turn water, carbon dioxide and sunlight into carbohydrates. This way of making food is called photosynthesis. Chlorophyll is what makes leaves green. Tree leaves actually have other colors in them all the time, but the green chlorophyll is so strong that it hides the other colors.
In late spring and early summer, trees also grow new wood around their trunk (树干), branches, and roots. These layers (层) of wood are called growth rings. Each year, a new ring grows. A good, rainy year makes wide, light-colored rings while a tough year makes narrow, dark-colored ones.
In autumn, the tree starts to slow down its growth. The dark part of the growth ring forms. Many trees also drop their fruit at this time. The fruit has seeds (种子) inside, and each seed has an embryo (胚胎). Germination takes place when the seed coating is wetted and embryo cells (细胞) grow and break out.
But the most amazing thing that happens in autumn is the change in leaf colour. The tree stops making so much chlorophyll. When the chlorophyll disappears, the green color fades away (逐渐消失). Then, you can see the other colours that were hidden in the leaves all along! These other colours are called carotenes (yellow and orange) and anthocyanins (red, pink, and purple). The most important environmental factors controlling autumn leaf colouration are temperature, light, and water. Cold, sunny days with not too much water help the tree make more anthocyanins.
24.Which of the pictures shows “germination”
A. B.
C. D.
25.What do we know about growth rings
A. They grow only on trunks.
B. They mainly grow in late autumn.
C. Very dry years bring narrow rings.
D. The new layer grows from the center.
26.What type of sentence structure is the underlined sentence
A. S+V B. S+V+O C. S+V+O+C D. S+V+O+O
27.What may the writer talk about next

B. Special trees around the world.

Dr. Jane Goodall was a world-famous chimp-loving scientist. She passed away last year at 91. Read her earlier fun chat about chimps with the reporter from National Geographic Kids below.
NGK: Hi Jane, when did you first know you wanted to work with animals
Jane: I was ten when I decided I wanted to go to Africa and study wild animals. Back then girls in England didn’t have those opportunities. So everybody laughed at me and said, “Jane, dream about something you can achieve.” But my mother said, “If you really want something, you’re going to have to work hard, take advantage of every chance and never give up!”
NGK: Great advice! What’s been special about the work you’ve done
Jane: I studied animals differently from other people. While I was in Gombe, Tanzania in the 1960s, other scientists told me that I shouldn’t have given the chimps names. I was also told I couldn’t talk about their personalities, minds or emotions. But luckily, I’d learned from my dog as a child, that it was rubbish!
NGK: Sounds like having a childhood pet really helped you in your studies! What surprised you most about the chimps
Jane: They show love and care for others. I remember a little three-year-old male chimp called Mel who was orphaned after his mother died. His survival seemed unlikely. But to our amazement, a 12-year-old unrelated male chimp called Spindle carried him around on his back, took him into his nest at night, and shared his food with him. It was very moving because Spindle had just lost his own mother, so it was almost like this little baby had helped him get over his grief (悲伤).
NGK: Thanks for the chimp chat, Jane! Your pioneering chimp research shows us humans are part of the animal kingdom—not separate. We’re grateful for your work!
28.What does the underlined word “orphaned” mean in the dialogue
A. Without parents. B. Young and small.
C. Unable to walk. D. In need of food.
29.What might Jane do in studying chimps
A. She took notes of chimps’ happy moments.
B. She did not report on chimps’ personalities.
C. She only watched wild chimps from far away.
D. She numbered the chimps instead of naming them.
30.Which human action is similar to Spindle’s act towards Mel
A. A teacher takes a sick student to hospital.
B. A teenager helps a lost child look for his parents.
C. A young man cooks dinner for his family every day.
D. A traveller picks up rubbish while climbing the mountain.
31.What can we learn from Jane’s life experiences
A. We need to be different from others to have success.
B. We must keep a pet in order to be an animal scientist.
C. We will be part of the animal world if we live in nature.
D. We should believe in ourselves in following our dreams.
D
On a hill in tsuchi, Japan, there sits a telephone booth overlooking the sea. Inside, there is a black phone, disconnected from any network. It is known as “Wind Phone. It’s a small space where visitors can “call” their lost loved ones to share words left unsaid.
The story of Wind Phone began in 2010. Itaru Sasaki was a garden designer who had a close relationship with a cousin. When his cousin passed away, Sasaki looked for ways to deal with his grief (悲伤). He turned to the phone booth, which he had made in his garden as a decoration. It became his personal coping mechanism (机制), as Sasaki felt that by speaking into the wind, his thoughts could reach his beloved cousin. It did heal (治愈) him a lot.
Months later, a national tragedy pushed Sasaki to open his Wind Phone to the public .On March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.1 earthquake hit northeast Japan, causing a tsunami that killed over 19,000 and leaving many more missing. Sasaki encouraged people in the town, stricken by grief, to visit Wind Phone—to put the receiver to their ear, like a shell on a beach, and listen. “You may not be able to see your loved ones in the same form, but if you close your eyes, the living and the dead are both there.” he said.
Over the next few months, thousands of mourners (哀悼者) visited the site. Later, visitors came from all over the world: at least 50,000 people have visited Wind Phone since 2011.
▲ For Sasaki, the phone booth itself holds the answer. “People who are grieving can close their hearts and shut themselves off from the world. They end up unwilling to do anything,” Sasaki says. “But by opening the door just a little, in doing something as small as going to visit that small phone booth, they change from doing nothing to doing something to recover from grief.”
His idea is shared by many people across the world. According to the website MyWind Phone, over 300 public Wind Phones now exist globally. All of them are set in quiet, natural places, helping people go through the long, winding path of grief.
32.What is true about Wind Phone
A. It can make real calls to lost loved ones.
B. It was first made for Sasaki’s own needs.
C. All the other Wind Phones are in Japan.
D. It was built after a deadly natural disaster.
33.Which sentence should be put in “▲ ” in paragraph 5
A. Who helped the spread of Wind Phones in those years
B. What made Wind Phone so powerful for some people
C. How did the terrible natural disaster change Wind Phone
D. Why did Sasaki first create the phone booth in his garden
34.What does the passage show about humans and nature
A. Humans may find what to love in nature.
B. Humans should treat nature in a kind way.
C. Nature can both harm and heal humans.
D. Nature has a positive influence on humans.
35.Which will be the best title for the passage
A. The Invention of a Special Phone B. An Amazing Phone in Tsunami
C. Sasaki’s Famous Garden Design D. An Unusual Phone to Hold Grief

Artificial light includes light from signs and streetlamps. It helps people see once the sun goes down. But too much artificial light becomes light pollution. This makes it difficult to see a starry sky. It also harms animals and leads to great energy waste.
For billions of years, all life has relied on Earth’s cycle of day and night. It’s encoded (编码) in the DNA of all plants and animals. Humans are completely changing this cycle by lighting up the night. Many insects are drawn to light, but artificial lights can create a deadly attraction. The drop in insect numbers hurts any species that depends on them for food or pollination (授粉). Birds that migrate or hunt at night navigate (导航) by moonlight and starlight. Artificial light can make them fly off course and towards the dangerous nighttime landscapes of cities. Every year millions of birds die crashing into needlessly lighted buildings and towers.
Lighting levels that are higher than necessary and light that shines when and where it is not needed is wasteful. Wasting energy costs us a lot, both economically (在经济上) and environmentally. In an average year in the U. S. alone, outdoor lighting uses about 120 terawatt-hours of energy, mostly to light up streets and parking lots. That’s enough energy to power all of New York for two years.
Light pollution affects every citizen and every species. Luckily, people now realize the problem. A growing number of scientists, homeowners, and environmental groups are taking action to bring the natural night back.
From April 21 to 28, people celebrate International Dark Sky Week. It’s a yearly event aimed to remind people to reduce light pollution. Started in 2003 by a teenager, the event is now organized by DarkSky International. The group’s website recommends that people use outdoor lighting only when needed. It also suggests that people help spread the word about light pollution. Why not start going outdoors with friends, family, and neighbors to enjoy the glittering night sky now

Bad (2) Animals ● Artificial light (3) a greater number of insects to die, as it attracts them in a deadly way. ● What’s worse, insects are closely (4) with other animals and plants because these living things depend on them for food or pollination. ● Artificial light puts the lives of birds at (5) because they may crash into the lighted buildings and towers.

40.【答案】 My Favourite Natural Spot in Nanjing
Nanjing is a city full of natural beauty. My favourite place is Xuanwu Lake. The best season to visit Xuanwu Lake is autumn.
The weather is cool and comfortable, with clear blue skies. The willow trees by the lake turn golden, and the air is filled with the sweet scent of chrysanthemums. You can take a boat ride on the calm water and enjoy the beautiful views of the surrounding mountains.
To protect this lovely place, we can do small but meaningful things. For example, we should always throw rubbish into bins instead of littering. We can also avoid picking flowers or damaging the plants. Additionally, we can tell more people about the importance of protecting natural scenery, so that more people will join in the effort to keep Xuanwu Lake clean and beautiful.

In autumn, the tree starts to slow down its growth. The dark part of the growth ring forms. Many trees also drop their fruit at this time. The fruit has seeds (种子) inside, and each seed has an embryo (胚胎). Germination takes place when the seed coating is wetted and embryo cells (细胞) grow and break out.
But the most amazing thing that happens in autumn is the change in leaf colour. The tree stops making so much chlorophyll. When the chlorophyll disappears, the green color fades away (逐渐消失). Then, you can see the other colours that were hidden in the leaves all along! These other colours are called carotenes (yellow and orange) and anthocyanins (red, pink, and purple). The most important environmental factors controlling autumn leaf colouration are temperature, light, and water. Cold, sunny days with not too much water help the tree make more anthocyanins.

Dr. Jane Goodall was a world-famous chimp-loving scientist. She passed away last year at 91. Read her earlier fun chat about chimps with the reporter from National Geographic Kids below.
NGK: Hi Jane, when did you first know you wanted to work with animals
Jane: I was ten when I decided I wanted to go to Africa and study wild animals. Back then girls in England didn’t have those opportunities. So everybody laughed at me and said, “Jane, dream about something you can achieve.” But my mother said, “If you really want something, you’re going to have to work hard, take advantage of every chance and never give up!”
NGK: Great advice! What’s been special about the work you’ve done
Jane: I studied animals differently from other people. While I was in Gombe, Tanzania in the 1960s, other scientists told me that I shouldn’t have given the chimps names. I was also told I couldn’t talk about their personalities, minds or emotions. But luckily, I’d learned from my dog as a child, that it was rubbish!
NGK: Sounds like having a childhood pet really helped you in your studies! What surprised you most about the chimps
Jane: They show love and care for others. I remember a little three-year-old male chimp called Mel who was orphaned after his mother died. His survival seemed unlikely. But to our amazement, a 12-year-old unrelated male chimp called Spindle carried him around on his back, took him into his nest at night, and shared his food with him. It was very moving because Spindle had just lost his own mother, so it was almost like this little baby had helped him get over his grief (悲伤).
NGK: Thanks for the chimp chat, Jane! Your pioneering chimp research shows us humans are part of the animal kingdom—not separate. We’re grateful for your work!
28.What does the underlined word “orphaned” mean in the dialogue
A. Without parents. B. Young and small.
C. Unable to walk. D. In need of food.
29.What might Jane do in studying chimps
A. She took notes of chimps’ happy moments.
B. She did not report on chimps’ personalities.
C. She only watched wild chimps from far away.
D. She numbered the chimps instead of naming them.
30.Which human action is similar to Spindle’s act towards Mel
A. A teacher takes a sick student to hospital.
B. A teenager helps a lost child look for his parents.
C. A young man cooks dinner for his family every day.
D. A traveller picks up rubbish while climbing the mountain.
31.What can we learn from Jane’s life experiences
A. We need to be different from others to have success.
B. We must keep a pet in order to be an animal scientist.
C. We will be part of the animal world if we live in nature.
D. We should believe in ourselves in following our dreams.
D
On a hill in tsuchi, Japan, there sits a telephone booth overlooking the sea. Inside, there is a black phone, disconnected from any network. It is known as “Wind Phone. It’s a small space where visitors can “call” their lost loved ones to share words left unsaid.
The story of Wind Phone began in 2010. Itaru Sasaki was a garden designer who had a close relationship with a cousin. When his cousin passed away, Sasaki looked for ways to deal with his grief (悲伤). He turned to the phone booth, which he had made in his garden as a decoration. It became his personal coping mechanism (机制), as Sasaki felt that by speaking into the wind, his thoughts could reach his beloved cousin. It did heal (治愈) him a lot.
Months later, a national tragedy pushed Sasaki to open his Wind Phone to the public .On March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.1 earthquake hit northeast Japan, causing a tsunami that killed over 19,000 and leaving many more missing. Sasaki encouraged people in the town, stricken by grief, to visit Wind Phone—to put the receiver to their ear, like a shell on a beach, and listen. “You may not be able to see your loved ones in the same form, but if you close your eyes, the living and the dead are both there.” he said.
Over the next few months, thousands of mourners (哀悼者) visited the site. Later, visitors came from all over the world: at least 50,000 people have visited Wind Phone since 2011.
▲ For Sasaki, the phone booth itself holds the answer. “People who are grieving can close their hearts and shut themselves off from the world. They end up unwilling to do anything,” Sasaki says. “But by opening the door just a little, in doing something as small as going to visit that small phone booth, they change from doing nothing to doing something to recover from grief.”
His idea is shared by many people across the world. According to the website MyWind Phone, over 300 public Wind Phones now exist globally. All of them are set in quiet, natural places, helping people go through the long, winding path of grief.
32.What is true about Wind Phone
A. It can make real calls to lost loved ones.
B. It was first made for Sasaki’s own needs.
C. All the other Wind Phones are in Japan.
D. It was built after a deadly natural disaster.
33.Which sentence should be put in “▲ ” in paragraph 5
A. Who helped the spread of Wind Phones in those years
B. What made Wind Phone so powerful for some people
C. How did the terrible natural disaster change Wind Phone
D. Why did Sasaki first create the phone booth in his garden
34.What does the passage show about humans and nature
A. Humans may find what to love in nature.
B. Humans should treat nature in a kind way.
C. Nature can both harm and heal humans.
D. Nature has a positive influence on humans.
35.Which will be the best title for the passage
A. The Invention of a Special Phone B. An Amazing Phone in Tsunami
C. Sasaki’s Famous Garden Design D. An Unusual Phone to Hold Grief

Artificial light includes light from signs and streetlamps. It helps people see once the sun goes down. But too much artificial light becomes light pollution. This makes it difficult to see a starry sky. It also harms animals and leads to great energy waste.
For billions of years, all life has relied on Earth’s cycle of day and night. It’s encoded (编码) in the DNA of all plants and animals. Humans are completely changing this cycle by lighting up the night. Many insects are drawn to light, but artificial lights can create a deadly attraction. The drop in insect numbers hurts any species that depends on them for food or pollination (授粉). Birds that migrate or hunt at night navigate (导航) by moonlight and starlight. Artificial light can make them fly off course and towards the dangerous nighttime landscapes of cities. Every year millions of birds die crashing into needlessly lighted buildings and towers.
Lighting levels that are higher than necessary and light that shines when and where it is not needed is wasteful. Wasting energy costs us a lot, both economically (在经济上) and environmentally. In an average year in the U. S. alone, outdoor lighting uses about 120 terawatt-hours of energy, mostly to light up streets and parking lots. That’s enough energy to power all of New York for two years.
Light pollution affects every citizen and every species. Luckily, people now realize the problem. A growing number of scientists, homeowners, and environmental groups are taking action to bring the natural night back.
From April 21 to 28, people celebrate International Dark Sky Week. It’s a yearly event aimed to remind people to reduce light pollution. Started in 2003 by a teenager, the event is now organized by DarkSky International. The group’s website recommends that people use outdoor lighting only when needed. It also suggests that people help spread the word about light pollution. Why not start going outdoors with friends, family, and neighbors to enjoy the glittering night sky now

40.【答案】 My Favourite Natural Spot in Nanjing
Nanjing is a city full of natural beauty. My favourite place is Xuanwu Lake. The best season to visit Xuanwu Lake is autumn.
The weather is cool and comfortable, with clear blue skies. The willow trees by the lake turn golden, and the air is filled with the sweet scent of chrysanthemums. You can take a boat ride on the calm water and enjoy the beautiful views of the surrounding mountains.
To protect this lovely place, we can do small but meaningful things. For example, we should always throw rubbish into bins instead of littering. We can also avoid picking flowers or damaging the plants. Additionally, we can tell more people about the importance of protecting natural scenery, so that more people will join in the effort to keep Xuanwu Lake clean and beautiful.
