There're four seasons in a year. Of all the seasons, my favorite one is spring.
In spring, the weather gets warmer and the days get longer. The trees and grass turn green, and all kinds of flowers come out. And little animals begin to come out of their nests. Snakes wake up. They find their tasty food. White rabbits run on the grass. Many fish are swimming in the river… The scenery is as beautiful as a painting. I can do lots of outdoor activities. Sometimes I climb the hill with my parents; sometimes I fly kites with my friends in the park. When it rains, I like going out for a walk. The rain makes the air fresher and it makes me feel relaxed. I think it's wonderful.
“A year's plan starts with spring.” Let's go outside to“love nature, enjoy life”.

How Do Animals Spend the Winter?
The weather gets colder, days get shorter and leaves turn color and fall off the trees. Soon, winter is here. Snow covers the ground. People live in warm houses and wear heavy coats outside. Our food comes from shops or supermarkets. But what about animals?
Animals do many different, amazing things to get through the winter. Some of them migrate. This means they travel to other places where the weather is warmer or they can find food.
Birds can fly very long distances. For example, the Arctic tern nests(筑巢) close to the North Pole in summer. In autumn, it flies south all the way to Antarctica. Each spring it returns north again. Most migrating birds travel shorter distances. But how do they find their way to the same place each year? Birds seem to use the sun, the moon and stars for directions.
How do they know when it is time to leave for the winter? Scientists are still studying this. Many see migration as part of a yearly cycle(周期) of changes a bird goes through. The cycle is controlled by changes in the amount(量) of daylight and the weather.
Some animals remain and stay active in winter. They must adapt(适应) to the changing weather. Many make changes in their behavior or bodies. To keep warm, animals may grow new, thicker fur in autumn. On snowshoe rabbits, the new fur is white to help them hide in the snow. Food is hard to find in winter. Some animals, like mice, gather extra food in autumn and store it to eat later. Some, like rabbits and deer, spend winter looking for leaves to eat. Animals may find winter shelter in holes in trees or logs, under rocks or leaves, or underground. Some mice even build tunnels through the snow.
Some animals sleep for part or all of the winter. It is a special, very deep sleep called hibernation. The animal’s body temperature drops, and its heartbeat and breathing slow down. It uses very little energy. So it needs little or no food. In autumn, these animals get ready for winter by eating extra food and storing it as body fat. They use this fat for energy while hibernating.
9.The underlined word “migrate” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ”. ( )?
A.control B.change
C.fall D.move
10.The passage is mainly about . ( )?
A.birds can fly very long distances
B.some animals remain and stay active in winter
C.all animals have their own ways to get through winter
D.some animals sleep for part or all of the winter
11.We can learn from the passage that . ( )?
A.all birds fly away to the south for winter
B.animals may have thinner fur in summer
C.animals’ hearts beat faster in winter to keep warm
D.the sun, the moon and stars can tell animals the right directions
Ⅲ.[2019·昌平期末] 回答问题
The Art of the Elephants
If your cat walked across something you were painting and left footprints behind, would you consider your cat an artist? What if your bird held a colored pencil in its beak(喙) and painted on a piece of paper? Most people may think of animal art as a joke, but some people have been taking it very seriously.
Elephants were used for hundreds of years in Thailand’s logging industry(伐木业). They moved wood from forests in areas where there were no roads. At the beginning of this century, when the forests of Thailand began to quickly disappear, the government put a stop to logging. All of a sudden, many elephants in Thailand no longer had a way to make a living.
Some elephants were treated badly. Others had to try to live on their own and couldn’t find enough to eat. There were once tens of thousands of elephants in Thailand. Today, there are less than five thousand. When two Russian-American artists, Vitaly Komar and Alex Melamid, first heard about the troubled elephants of Thailand, they knew that something had to be done to forever change the way people treated Thai elephants. Then, they came up with an idea to help these elephants.
Komar and Melamid visited elephant camps in Thailand and began to show the elephant trainers how to teach the elephants to paint. At first, the trainers had to guide the elephants’ trunks. The elephants became more comfortable doing this with practice—and lots of sweet snacks—and finally started to paint on their own. The strange idea that Komar and Melamid had to save the elephants actually began to work. They even helped found several elephant art schools in Thailand and in other Asian countries. The elephants and their trainers go there to learn about painting and get supplies they need.
Today, people begin to buy elephant artworks from galleries(画廊) all around the world. Some are even willing to pay more than $2,000 for the works of the elephant artists! Some people compare the cheerful, brightly-colored artworks to the works of some great abstract(抽象的) painters. Some people are just happy to buy these special and original(原创的) artworks. Others think they are helping the troubled elephants in this way. The next time you see a piece of colorful abstract art, find out who the artist is. You just may be surprised at what you learn!

13.What did elephants do in Thailand’s logging industry?

14.How many elephants are there in Thailand today?

15.What was Komar and Melamid’s idea to help the elephants in Thailand?

Since creating the civilized city, all the people in Beijing have made joint efforts. Their good behavior can be seen everywhere. Everybody tries his best to avoid traffic jams and reduce the air pollution by riding bikes or walking.
As junior students, we can plant more trees and flowers. Each of us should obey the traffic rules. In public, we shouldn't make a lot of noises. We should give our seats to the ones in need on a bus. We can't spit everywhere and we shouldn't throw rubbish everywhere, for it's very rude. We should protect the trees and keep off the grass. At the same time, we can also pick up rubbish and put it into the dustbin wherever we go. It is a good way to keep our city clean and tidy.

话题16 自然、世界与环境(人口与环保)
主题语篇阅读
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A [2019·丰台一模]
It’s big, it’s nasty but it’s more than just a hole in the ground. Some landfills take in 2,000 tons of trash a day but America’s largest landfill takes in that amount each hour, which will be full in two to three years.
Garbage problem has been a long-standing issue. Volunteer students at the University of Arizona in the U.S. started the Garbage Project. They aimed at learning the influence of humans’ activities on the environment by studying the garbage.
One important thing the students learned was that the garbage in landfills disappeared very slowly. That was surprising to the students, as well as to many scientists who had predicted that about 70% of the garbage in landfills would break down naturally and quickly. From the landfills, students even found newspapers twenty years ago and forty-year-old hot dogs.
The Garbage Project also discovered that what people say they do was often very different from what they actually did. The volunteer students asked people what they bought, ate and drank, and then the students compared this to what people threw away. For some reason, the two didn’t match. For example, the students found much more empty bottles of beer than people said they drank.
Information from the Garbage Project has helped us to see how much garbage we actually put in landfills. The students are hopeful that this will encourage us to find better ways to dispose (处置) of our garbage.
Of course, the best way to dispose of garbage depends on what kind of garbage it is: regular garbage, hazardous materials or recyclables, such as newspapers, glass bottles and some metals. Regular garbage goes to regular landfills. Hazardous materials, on the other hand, contain poisonous chemicals or metals. They shouldn’t go into regular landfills. For example, waste batteries can pollute the soil and groundwater, which need to be recycled properly.?
It’s necessary to reduce garbage from the source. With the improvement of living standards, people use too many plastic products only once before throwing them away, especially as online shopping becomes more popular. We can start reducing garbage by using cloth shopping bags and green delivery packages.
Unfortunately, recycling is expensive. It takes time and special treatment. However, in Japan, people recycle garbage so carefully that even plastic bottles and their caps go into different bins. Positive effects present gradually. In the last five years, the Japanese city of Kamikatsu has raised its rate of recycled waste to 80 percent.
It is a matter of great urgency and we must go into action now. There are many things that ordinary people can do to make less garbage. If everyone does the same, we will make our living environment safer and better.
1.According to the passage, students of the Garbage Project discovered that . ( )?
A.people knew what they actually threw away
B.garbage disappeared as scientists predicted
C.students collected newspapers for research
D.garbage was too much and lasted longer
2.The underlined word “hazardous” in Paragraph 6 probably means “ ”. ( )?

This kid fights hunger and homelessness
Austin Perine is only four years old. His story started this past February in the living room in Birmingham. Austin and his father, TJ Perine, were watching a program about a mother panda leaving her babies. “I told him that the babies would be homeless for a while,” TJ says. “Austin didn’t know what homelessness meant, but he was sad and wanted to know more.”
Seeing this as a teachable moment, TJ took Austin to the Firehouse Ministries, a local shelter (救济中心) that provides housing and food for homeless men. As they drove by, they saw 25 homeless men standing on the street corner. “Dad, they look sad,” Austin said. “Can we take them some food and make them smile?”
Austin used his pocket money to buy each man a Burger King hamburger and handed the food out himself. Seeing what the burgers meant to the men, Austin returned the next week. He handed out burgers along with his catchphrase (口号), “Don’t forget to show love!”
After he had returned for five weeks, word of Austin’s acts of kindness spread through social-media. Burger King agreed to donate (捐赠) $1,000 a month for a year to feed the homeless. Soon, churches and shelters began inviting Austin to give out food in poor areas. Thanks to social support, now Austin and TJ can feed 800 to 2,000 people at once.
But Austin isn’t just filling bellies. He’s improving the lives of those people he meets. On that first trip to Firehouse Ministries, TJ and Austin talked to a man named Raymont. The respect Austin showed touched Raymont, and Raymont told them his story. Having known his experience, TJ helped him get a job. Finally he was able to rent an apartment. All that was made possible because a little boy took time to care.
Austin’s actions have now become his family’s calling. His grandma Audrey Perine set up the Show Love Foundation (基金会) which helps fight homelessness. TJ left his job to oversee the foundation.
As for Austin, he continues to give out food, smiles, and his message of love, “It makes me feel like I’m saving the day.”

Tornado Chaser
Do you know? In June 2003, South Dakota experienced 67 tornadoes(龙卷风) in one day! In the U.S., tornadoes are responsible for 80 deaths and more than 1,500 injuries each year. Although they happen very often, tornadoes are difficult to predict. Why? Tornadoes develop from storms, but only some storms can become tornadoes. Meteorologists (气象学家) don’t know where and when a storm will touch the ground and turn into a tornado. Today, the warning time for a tornado is usually just 13 minutes.
Tim Samaras is a tornado chaser. His job is to find tornadoes and follow them. When he gets close to a tornado, he puts a special tool on the ground. This tool measures things like temperature, humidity, and wind speed of a tornado. With this information, Samaras can learn what causes tornadoes to develop. If meteorologists understand this, they can warn people about tornadoes sooner and save lives.
How does Samaras hunt tornadoes? It’s not easy. First, he has to find one. Tornadoes are too small to see using weather satellites (卫星). So Samaras can’t just depend on these tools to find one. Instead he waits for tornadoes to develop. Every May and June, Samaras drives about 40,000 kilometers (25,000 miles) across an area known as Tornado Alley, looking and hoping to find a tornado.
Once Samaras sees a tornado, the chase begins. But a tornado is hard to follow. Some tornadoes change direction several times—for example, moving east and then west and then east again. When Samaras finally gets near a tornado, he puts his special tool on the ground. Being this close to a tornado is frightening. There is rubbish flying in the air. The wind is blowing at high speed. He must get away quickly.
The work is risky, even for a skilled chaser like Samaras. But danger won’t stop his hunt for the perfect storm.

Expo 2019 has been held for a month in Beijing. It shows us the beauty of green space in the world. I think the environment is very important for people, and they can influence each other. We can benefit a lot from the good environment. However, if the environment gets worse, it will also do harm to ourselves. So we should try our best to do something for the environment. First, we can plant more trees and flowers to make the air fresh and the environment more beautiful. Second, we can save water by turning off the taps in time or reusing water to save energy. Third, we can recycle things like paper, cans and bottles to reduce waste.
We have only one earth. Saving the environ-ment is saving ourselves. Let's take action now!

Now there are many environmental problems, such as air pollution, water pollution and so on.
I believe that there are many things we can do in our daily life. We can save energy by going to school by bike or on foot. We can use less water by turning off the tap while we brush our teeth and take shorter showers. When we see litter on the ground, we must pick it up and put it into different bins.
I hope everyone can take action. Although each one of us may only do a little, together we can make a big difference. Let's work together to make a better place to live.
