The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it. In fact, no single one can. We ourselves must walk the right path and make a difference. We should start by doing what's necessary, then doing what's possible and will certainly achieve what may seem impossible!
Some environmentalists desire the pleasure in the pathless woods and the happiness in the lonely shore. This is a true account of an organization, called Nurture Nature, which offers a lot of opportunities and avenues to enrich not just one’ s surroundings but the one himself,
To many, it may seem that it brings about just another forum to save the planet, and it does. However, there is something bigger that it brings to you, an opportunity to redefine yourself and a wish to make sure that you believe that you are indeed part of it. Being identified by the UN Environmental Programme, it lives up to the dreams we have dreamed.
Nurture Nature is an organization not only to educate the citizens of our nation and worldwide but also to spread awareness about the various atrocities( 暴 行 ) of humans towards our planet. Staff at Nurture Nature deal with the aim of making each and every person aware of their specific duties and responsibilities too late towards the planet and doing the needful before
it's too late.
By organizing campaigns and spreading our reach through social media, staff at Nurture Nature surely do their best to fulfill the aim. This initiative has received an incredible response from funders worldwide and funds for the campaign and other tasks were collected. The funds which were put to good use were more than sufficient.
What should we do to protect the earth according to the text?
A. Call for discussions B. Ignore the threats C. Get everything ready D. Start from ourselves
What will Nurture Nature bring to the participants?
A. Thrilling experience B. A beautiful dream.
C. A chance to know themselves D. A Sense of belonging
What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
The functions of Nurture Nature
The expectations of Nurture Nature

The efforts the staff in Nurture Nature made
What can we know about Nurture Nature from the last paragraph?
It has finished its goal
It has drawn much attention
It is organizing tasks to raise money.
It is accepted by all the people in the world.
D
The reason why dominant(占支配地位的) men always seem to rise to the top has been uncovered. Researchers say they are able to make decisions far faster than those with nondominant personalities. It could explain why so many top CEOS and politicians are known for their dominant personalities.
The study found high-dominance men respond faster in situations where a choice is needed, regardless of social context. Promptness (敏捷) to respond in high-dominance men was accompanied by a noticeably amplified brain signal. In addition， when the researchers analyzed the EEG(脑电图) images of the high- dominance participants, they identified a higher activity in areas of the brain associated with emotion and behavior, compared to low-dominance participants.
This promptness in decision-making can act as a biomarker for social personalities. " Dominance itself depends partly on the ability to make decisions faster than others. This allows the individual to act first in social situations, which might result in an evolutionary advantage, the team wrote.
They now hope to link these reading to roles such as CEOS, and to find out if the same differences happen in female and children. "In the future. it will be important to find out whether even stronger brain signals are observed in particularly dominant individuals, such as CEOS,” said Carmen Sandi of the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne.
She added, "It will also be relevant to understand whether these differences in promptness to respond and brain signals are also observed in women that differ in dominance an whether they are already present in children. Our findings may open a new research approach using EEG signatures as a measure for social dominance.”
The study involved 240 male students at the University of Lausanne who were sorted into high or low dominance groups by a standard "dominance scoring" questionnaire proved in many former studies.
What makes dominant people stand out?
Their wiser decisions
Their kind personalities
Their social status
Their rapidity responding
Which word can replace the underlined word "amplified"?
A. affected B. adjusted C. enhanced D. controlled
What will the researchers use the findings to do?
A. Save people’s life
B Check on more people.
Test the participants’ brain.
Show the effect of dominance.
What can be inferred about the study from the text
It used previous research findings.
It involved some women and children.
It showed how people became CEOs
It corrected people s ideas of dominance

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1 个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
Get ready and you will enjoy a space travel. The sky outside your spacecraft is mostly black. The planet you’re looking for is 4. 65 billion 56 (mile) away. Almost no light 57 (reach) it. Suddenly you see a glow( 暗 光 ) in the
57 (distant). As you approach, it becomes bigger and stranger. The light 59 (shine) ahead of you is bright pink. Getting closer, you realize 60 is giving off this glow.It’s a magenta(紫红色的) planet!
61 (name) GJ 504b, the planet is made of pink gas. It’s similar to Jupiter, a giant gas planet in our own solar system. But GJ 504b is four times more 62 (mass). At 460F, it’s the temperature of a hot oven, and it's the planets intense heat that causes it to glow.
You stop your spacecraft to take 63 close look. The sky turns pink as you enter GJ 504b's atmosphere. Since GJ 504b is made of gas, it has no solid surface. So you can fly right inside the planet, in 64 the gas envelops you like a thick fog. As you go 65 (deep), the gas begins to get darker. If you keep going down, your spacecraft could melt from the heat. You get away from this pink world and back into the darkness of outer space.

第二节(满分 25 分)
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
It‘s getting hot. It‘s time to put on lighter clothes and open up the windows. I can’t wait to do so. Yesterday, an unforeseen visit to the kitchen happened during the brief time we were out. Two daring sparrows (麻雀) had risked landing on our territory to enjoy the freshness in our sink and some of her breadcrumbs(面包屑) on our kitchen counter.
Actually, sparrows are everywhere. The tiny, gray-and-brown birds are found on every continent except Antarctica, flying or Jumping around cities, picking Up leftover food on side-walks, and sometimes chasing with native bird species. These small creatures have adapted to living alongside humans similar to pet dogs.
When you come across such sudden callers, you are likely to sense it as an unwanted visitor into your comfort zone, or you might receive it as a lovely angel of life. I chose the second option, with no hesitation while my husband preferred driving them away. After all, I've never come to stop to feel the relationship with sparrows.
I recalled when I was a little girl living in the city, I lived in an apartment with a flat roof viewed from our kitchen window. Every day my mom and I would go out to feed the sparrows. She taught me how to call them with a clicking sound she made with her tongue. I have loved sparrows ever since. So every day in my spare time, I can’t stop observing and celebrating their dance from our window. I stuffed them with the leftovers on our tablecloth after every meal. And I have provided them with every kind of bases and stands of our house.
Undoubtedly, they feel at ease in our backyard. And that has led them to gather up courage and slide into our kitchen，
bedroom or even reading room. Perhaps because they have the feeling that we don’t consider them trouble-makers, but friendly neighbors. But I am slightly worried about their droppings(粪便).
注意: 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右 2. 请在相应位置作答
One day, they left some droppings in my husband’s reading room.
About two weeks later, I heard my husband calling “Oh, my God！”
