Ⅳ. 任务型阅读
阅读短文，回答问题及翻译画线部分的句子。
The next time you sit down to a delicious dinner, ask yourself, “How much food will I be able to eat?” If you think about only taking as much food as you eat, it will help cut down waste. Every day, plenty of food goes uneaten and turns into rubbish. This is very sad when we consider that many people can’t even afford to have one meal every day. The problem of waste happens all over the world. People often want more than what they really need.
①The most important thing for us to remember is to be friendly to the environment. Only take as much food as you can eat, buy things in environmentally friendly packaging such as paper or cardboard, and leave rubbish in its proper place. If every person could cut down waste, even just a little, the whole effect(效果) would be great.
Rubbish and waste can be a big problem in large cities. If rubbish or food is left in the streets in our city, it can make the city dirty and may also lead to a bad smell in the streets. ②我们应该尽我们的最大努力解决这个问题并使我们的城市更美丽。 In this way, we will feel more comfortable living in the city.

A
All living things need energy to live and grow. This energy comes first from the sun. Plants use water and sunlight to make their own food. Animals cannot make their own food, and they eat plants. Other animals then eat the plant eaters.
A food chain shows what eats what. It might show that zebras eat grass and then lions eat zebras.
Lions also eat other animals. Zebras eat other kinds of plants. So it takes more than one food chain to show how lions and zebras get their energy.
A food web shows how food chains work together. From it we can see how energy moves from plants to animals.
Plants and animals that live in hot, dry deserts depend on water as well as food. Creosote bushes have small leaves that hold water. Their seeds provide food and water for kangaroo rats. Kangaroo rats don't need to drink water. They get all the water they need from the plants they eat. Kangaroo rats keep cool by coming out only at night to look for food. Ringtail cats also come out only at night. Ringtail cats hunt and eat kangaroo rats. Coyotes eat both the kangaroo rats and the ringtail cats.
Nothing is wasted in a food wed. Vultures eat dead animals. Vultures are scavengers. Scavengers do not hunt or kill other animals to get food. They eat animals that are already dead. When a ringtail cat or a coyote dies, it makes a meal for the vultures. Scavengers do an important job in keeping the environment clean.
26.Where does the energy that living things need first come from?
A.Animals. B.Plants.
C.The sun. D.Plant eaters.
27.Why do ringtail cats come out only at night?
A.Because they are afraid of coyotes.
B.Because they are shy animals.
C.Because it is very hot in the daytime.
D.Because they can eat kangaroo rats.
28.What kind of animal can be placed in the empty box of the picture?
A.Kangaroo. B.Vulture.
C.Cat. D.Zebra.
29.Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A.Lions eat different kinds of animals.
B.Plants are on the top of the food chain.
C.Scavengers can keep the environment clean.
D.Some animals get water from the plants they eat.
30.What's the best title of the passage?
A.Web of life
B.Things that we eat
C.Food in the desert
D.The place where food is from

B
Andrew Holleman, a 12-year-old boy, loved playing in the open land near his home. The land was wet and forested, and made a home for birds, other animals and many different plants.
It made the perfect place for him to study and get to know the nature. He had seen some red-tailed hawks, red foxes, wood turtles and other animals. He also found special native flowers.
Suddenly it was announced that the “empty” land would be improved by a lot of houses on it. The plants would be removed, the animals would run away and most would probably die. Then the wet soil(土壤)would be covered with extra grounds.
When he heard about the news, he was not happy. He was very worried that the land and water would be polluted.
Andrew wrote down clearly all the research he had done about the area, and how the houses would affect(影响)the local environment. He sent letters to members of the local government and television reporters. He also called on his neighbors to oppose the building of the houses.
Although he was only 12 years old, he had the courage and wisdom of a person much older. Andrew's teachers described him as gentle, shy and active. His classmates also admired how much he knew about local animals and plants, and the environment. Each day after school, Andrew went door-to-door, to ask the people to sign(签名), who did not want the houses to be built. In only one month, he got the signatures of 250 people.
In the end, the land remained a safe place for birds, animals and plants that belonged there.
Andrew won many prizes for his brave and great work to stop the houses being built, and thus help save the environment.

Many people know that rubbish is a big problem on planet Earth. What many people don't know is that junk(垃圾)has become a problem in outer space too.
According to BBC News, there are more than 22,000 pieces of space junk floating around the earth. And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes(望远镜). There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can't see.
Objects, like bits of old space rockets or satellites, move around the planet at very high speed, so fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship, it could damage the vehicle.
To make things worse, when two objects in space crash, they break into many smaller pieces. For example, when a U.S. satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009, it broke into more than 2,000 pieces, increasing the amount of space junk.
To reduce additional space junk, countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25 years at most. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth's atmosphere after that time. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up.
Many scientists are also suggesting different ways to clean up space junk. In England scientists are testing a metal net that can be fired into space junk. The net catches the junk and then pulls it into the earth's atmosphere to burn up. The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of space junk and bring them back to Earth to be safely destroyed.
“The problem is becoming more challenging because we're sending more objects into space to help people use their mobile phones and computers,”says Marco Castronuovo, an Italian space researcher.
“The time to act is now. The longer we leave the problem, the bigger it will become,”he says.
36.What does the underlined word “these” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Telescopes. B.Satellites.
C.Pieces of space junk. D.BBC news reports.
37.Why is space junk considered a problem?
A.It burns up after it re-enters the atmosphere.
B.It often stops the view of telescopes on Earth.
C.It could force new space tools to travel at slower speed.
D.It may crash into other space tools causing damage or death.
38.Countries want future space tools to be able to fall back into the earth's atmosphere so that .?
A.the tools can be reused later
B.the tools don't become space junk
C.the earth's atmosphere can stay clean
D.the effects of space flight can be studied
39.How do the Germans plan to deal with space junk?
A.Catch it with nets.
B.Use robots to collect it.
C.Burn it in the earth's atmosphere.
D.Send it further away from the earth.
40.In which section of the newspaper would you probably read this article?
A.Environment. B.Local News.
C.Education. D.Fashion.

Some scientists say that animals in the ocean are increasingly threatened(威胁) by noise pollution caused by human beings. The noise that influences sea animals comes from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions(爆炸), ocean drilling and ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves.
Decibels(分贝) measured(测量) in water are different from those measured on land. A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety-five would have the same effect(效果).
Some scientists have planned to set a noise limit(限度) of one hundred and twenty decibels in oceans. They have found that noises at that level can frighten whales(鲸).
A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously hurt some animals. The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales' ability to exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died. The explosions had caused their ears to bleed.
Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds disagree on a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research. Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. However, many scientists think that noise is a greater danger than they believed.It's time for them to take action to help ocean animals.
1.Which of the following is not caused by human beings?
A.The noise of industrial underwater explosions.
B.The noise of ocean drilling.
C.The sound of underwater earthquakes.
D.The noise of ship engines.
2.What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?
A.The same noise measures differently on land and in the ocean.
B.Different places may have different types of noises.
C.The noises can cause humans to lose hearing.
D.There are different kinds of natural sounds in the ocean.
3.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Powerful underwater explosions aren't harmful to whales' ears.
B.Many researchers are against the noise limit of 120 decibels.
C.Noises cannot cause whales' death.
D.The noise limit of 120 decibels would hardly influence the industrial research.
4.According to the passage, we can infer that scientists will probably .?
A.work hard to cut down natural sounds
B.stop industrial and scientific research in oceans
C.try their best to make no noise
D.protect ocean animals from harmful noises
答案
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了噪音对海洋生物的危害。虽然科学家们对限制海洋噪音分贝的程度界定持有不同的意见,但他们一致认为噪音的危害比他们想象的大得多。
1.C 细节理解题。从第一段中“Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes”可知,水下地震的声音是自然界的声音,不是人为的,故选C。

We need to be responsible for the environment. Being a frugal consumer (节俭的消费者) is one way to help. But, what exactly does that mean?
Use it up
You can use things up instead of wasting them. Squeeze (挤) that last bit of toothpaste out of the tube. Use the last little piece of soap. Don't throw away any bits of the biscuit at the bottom of the box.
Wear it out
You do not always need to have new things. Suppose your sneakers have broken laces (鞋带), but they still fit you. Repair them and wear them longer. You don't need the latest iPhone until your old one doesn't work anymore. Then you can get a new one. Think twice before replacing something that still works.
Make it do
When something you want is not on hand, look for something else that you already have to take its place. Suppose you are packing your lunch for tomorrow and want a butter sandwich. You are out of butter. What about using cheese to make a cheese sandwich? Learn to fix broken toys instead of just throwing them away. With a little thought, you can make something do, instead of buying something new.
Do without
Think about all those things that you would like to have. Do you really need them? How long will you really play with that new toy you saw on TV? Making the things that we want uses resources (资源). And, getting rid of the things we don't want any more takes up even more resources and space.

The problems with the environment are becoming more and more serious. You may think it is the government's job to take action and it is difficult for the individual(个人) to protect the environment. In fact, there are several easy things that can be done to make a difference.
You can start your action by learning to recycle. Although this appears really simple, there are many people who still throw glass bottles and metal cans(金属罐) into their common rubbish bins. Do you notice that our government has put many special rubbish bins in public places?They all have glass and metal recycling signs. If you spend a few seconds washing the cans and bottles and put them into the rubbish bin, you will be on the path to protecting the environment.
One more big waste product is newspapers. Most people will take their newspapers and throw them into rubbish bins when they finish reading them. In fact, there are many other things you can do with an old newspaper. For example, newspapers are something useful for cleaning windows. You can clean windows with newspapers rather than paper towels and window cleaners for a perfect shine.
What else you can do is walk a bit more. Many people usually get into their cars and drive one block to get cola at the local shop. If you walk to the shop, you can not only spend less time, because you needn't try to find a parking place, but also save money on oil. If you wish to save even more on oil, take the chance to share the same car with others.
根据上面短文内容填空。
1.The environment is getting . Though individual power is small, you can do several things to make a difference.?
2.The government has put many special with glass and metal recycling signs in public places to get people waste like glass bottles and metal cans.?
3.The writer thinks are another big waste product and he advises people to use newspapers to .?
4.Walking to the local shop instead of driving can save not only your but also your .?
5.In this passage, the three examples tell you that protecting the environment is not as as you imagine and that is a way to protect the environment.?
答案
[语篇解读] 本文就个人如何行动起来保护环境提出了几点建议。
1.worse;easily 根据文章开头more and more serious可知第一空用worse,表示“更糟糕”;根据第一段最后一句中的“there are several easy things...”提示可知第二空用副词easily修饰动词do。
2.rubbish bins;to recycle 根据文章第二段第三句“Do you notice that our government has put many special rubbish bins in public places?”提示,用rubbish bins表示“垃圾箱”;这些垃圾箱上都有回收利用的标识,提示人们意识到垃圾是可以回收利用的,动词get后跟动词不定式作宾语补足语。
3.newspapers;clean(their) windows 根据文章第三段首句“One more big waste product is newspapers.”提示,第一空用newspapers作宾语从句的主语;根据第三段倒数第二句“...newspapers are something useful for cleaning windows.”可知作者建议用报纸来擦窗户,故用clean(their) windows表达。
4.time;money 根据文章最后一段第三句“If you walk to the shop, you can not only spend less time...but also save money on oil.”提示,可知步行去商店不仅节省时间,而且节省油费。
5.difficult/hard;living a green life/living a low-carbon life/reducing pollution/controlling pollution 文中的三个例子告诉我们保护环境并不像我们想象中的那么难;文章主要就个人如何行动起来做环保而提出建议,所举的例子都是倡导低碳、节能、环保的生活方式,且第二个设空处在从句中作主语,应用动词-ing形式。

Cars make our lives more convenient. But they can also be a problem. For example, fossil fuel(化石燃料) cars mainly cause air pollution.
To improve the environment, many countries are developing electric vehicles(EVs,电动车). Among them, China is taking a leading role and has created the world's largest EV market.
Last year, over 40 percent of the 753,000 EVs sold in the world were sold in China, more than twice as many as the number sold in the United States.
“Filling up a fossil fuel car with gas(汽油) is more expensive than charging(充电) an electric car,” said Wu Hao, who bought an electric car this year.
However, there are still some problems. It can be hard to find charging piles(充电桩) and the cars can't go far before needing to be recharged.
Some of these problems are being solved. In 2014,China had 31,000 charging piles. Now China has the world's largest EV charging network, with more than 167,000 charging piles in total.
Developing EVs is one of many efforts that China has made to cut down pressure on its environment after the government promised to stop increases in carbon dioxide emissions(二氧化碳排放量) by 2030.
“As China goes, so will the world's car industry,” the Wall Street Journal said. China has taken a leading role in the world's electric vehicle industry.
1. mainly cause air pollution according to the passage.?
A.Subways B.Sharing bikes
C.Electric vehicles D.Fossil fuel cars

A.It's more expensive than filling up a fossil fuel car with gas.
B.It's less expensive than filling up a fossil fuel car with gas.
C.It's as expensive as filling up a fossil fuel car with gas.
D.It's as cheap as filling up a fossil fuel car with gas.
4.Which country has the world's largest EV charging network now?
A.America. B.Germany.

When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and go to the city. We lived on a farm, and especially in winter, we were quite out from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the city. However, I soon discovered that my life has its disadvantages, too.
One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. ①空气是如此的脏以至于我害怕出去。 Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bike, but that can be dangerous.
Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city. And there are wonderful jobs and more chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the kind of goods is very surprising.②What's more, there are many shops that are not far from your home.?
Is life better in the city then? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may be a better choice. I certainly hope to move back there soon.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Scientists in Britain and the United States have made a new kind of enzyme(酶) that eats plastics(塑料). With its help, plastics can be turned into smaller parts and go away quickly. Scientists believe that, in the future, it could solve the problem of plastic pollution.
The enzyme is able to break down PET, a form of plastic. PET was first made in the 1940s and is now widely used to make plastic bottles. It can remain in the environment for many years and pollute large areas of land and water. So it has always been a headache to deal with the waste from PET and other plastics.?
The researchers made the discovery(发现) while examining the structure of a natural enzyme in Japan. They found that the natural enzyme was helping to break down PET plastics. So, they decided to make small changes to the enzyme by adding some amino acids(氨基酸). It made the natural enzyme's plastic-eating abilities work faster and better.
John McGeehan, one of the lead researchers, said, “We've made an improved enzyme. It's better than the natural one. And we are trying to make more improvements to it.” He went on, “The enzyme is not harmful to humans or animals, and it is friendly to the environment. So we are considering putting it into wider use.”
The team is now trying to make the enzyme break down PET in large quantities(大量地). “We'll see that the plastic pollution may be stopped with this technology. However, there is still a long way to go,” John McGeehan added.
1.According to the scientists, the enzyme may solve the problem of pollution.?
A.air B.water
C.light D.plastic
2.The underlined phrase “break down” in the passage probably means “ ” in Chinese.?
A.实验 B.生产
C.发明 D.分解
3.Researchers discovered that a natural enzyme helped eat plastics .?
A.in Britain B.in the US
C.in Japan D.in China
4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The scientists are still trying to improve the enzyme.
B.The enzyme will pollute large areas of land and water.
C.The natural enzyme works better than the improved one.
D.The natural enzyme is harmful to humans and animals.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了一种能分解塑料的酶。它对环境无害,可以大规模应用以解决塑料污染问题。
1.D 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句中的it could solve the problem of plastic pollution可知选D。
2.D 词义猜测题。上文提到这类酶能解决塑料污染问题,而只有分解塑料才能解决塑料污染问题,故选D。
3.C 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句The researchers made the discovery while examining the structure of a natural enzyme in Japan.可知C项正确。
4.A 细节理解题。根据第四段中的we are trying to make more improvements to it可知A项正确。

阅读下面的短文,然后根据短文内容回答问题。
In Hebei, there is a small village called Yeli. Through the village, you can see green trees along the riverbank. However, you can hardly imagine that, about 16 years ago, this area was covered with rocks and weeds(杂草). The big change is all because of years of hard work by two best friends:Jia Haixia, who is blind, and Jia Wenqi, who has no arms.
The two friends decided to plant trees to make a living back in 2002. Although both are disabled, they learned to work together by becoming each other's eyes and hands. With little money to buy young trees, they had to collect and plant cuttings(插枝,插条). Every morning, they went to the riverbank together. Jia Wenqi walked in the front and Jia Haixia followed him by holding one of his friend's empty sleeves(衣袖). After they arrived at the riverbank, Jia Haixia would climb on his friend's shoulders to get cuttings and Jia Wenqi would tell him which cuttings were the best. After that, they dug holes on the ground and watered the cuttings together.
They planted 800 trees in the first year, but only two survived(存活). They didn't give up. Instead, they continued to plant more in the next few years. The riverbank is now home to over ten thousand trees.
Today, the two friends no longer need to make a living by planting trees, but they have no plans to stop. They aim to plant as many trees as possible in the area so as to protect the village from flooding(洪水)and to improve the local environment.
