A
When
Fluffy
the
cat
disappeared
from
her
home
in
Navarre,Ohio,her
owner
spotted
her
high
in
a
pine
tree.Ellen
Albert
wasn’t
immediately
concerned
because
everyone
guaranteed
her
that
cats
always
came
down
when
they
were
hungry.
That
was
on
a
Friday.On
Sunday,when
the
white
kitty
showed
no
sign
of
leaving
and
was
still
high
in
the
tree,Ellen
Albert
called
Erie
Valley
Fire
and
Rescue
for
help
with
her
pet.
“Fluffy
was
about
40
feet
in
the
air.Too
high
for
the
ladders
we
carry,”Ryan
Shanower
of
Erie
Valley
Fire
and
Rescue
said.“She
was
also
near
some
power
lines
that
caused
a
threat.We
tried
cat
food
on
day
two
of
her
being
there
and
figured
by
evening
she’d
be
down.High
winds
and
hard
rain
on
day
one
evening
and
most
of
day
two
made
the
rescue
attempts
more
difficult.”
Fire
Chief
Rick
Annen
told
his
theory
about
how
the
kitty
ended
up
so
far
up
the
tree.Annen
saw
hawks(老鹰)
sitting
on
a
building
across
the
street
and
noticed
Fluffy’s
regular
collar
and
flea
collar
were
both
missing.He
figured
a
hawk
had
picked
up
Fluffy
by
the
collars
and
she
had
gotten
free
and
fallen
high
in
the
pine
tree.
By
day
three,the
rain
had
stopped
enough,but
Fluffy
still
wouldn’t
or
couldn’t
move.The
fire
department
reached
out
to
a
local
tree
service
to
see
if
they’d
lend
a
hand
to
the
frightened
cat.They
showed
up
with
a
bucket
truck
they
use
to
trim(修剪)
tall
trees.Once
the
bucket
truck
was
up
in
the
air,Fluffy
was
down
in
a
minute
or
two.
It
was
a
happy
ending,for
sure,but
not
a
common
day’s
work
for
these
firefighters.
1.What
added
to
the
difficulty
in
rescuing
the
cat?
A.Bad
weather.
B.No
effective
tools.
C.The
power
lines.
D.The
cat’s
weakness.
答案A

2.What
can
we
know
about
Fluffy
the
cat?

tended
to
climb
trees
when
hungry.
B.It
climbed
up
to
the
pine
tree
on
Friday.
C.Its
situation
might
be
caused
by
a
hawk.
D.Its
collars
were
on
the
top
of
the
pine
tree.

did
people
rescue
the
cat
finally?

got
the
tree
trimmed.

used
a
long
enough
ladder.
C.They
employed
a
bucket
truck.

it
to
come
down.

C
As
a
kid,I
wanted
to
be
a
naturalist.When
I
got
to
college,I
chose
what
I
thought
was
a
more
practical
path,studying
physics
along
with
public
policy.That
combination
led
me
to
atmospheric
sciences.Now
I’m
studying
low
clouds.
But
I
didn’t
really
notice
low
clouds
until
I
started
my
study
at
the
University
of
Washington,in
Seattle.That
city
had
a
lot
of
low
clouds.I
suddenly
realised
how
important
their
reflection
of
heat
back
into
space
was
for
Earth’s
climate.I
continued
studying
low
clouds
at
the
University
of
Colorado
in
Boulder.There
I
earned
my
PhD.
Seattle’s
skies
may
be
home
to
plenty
of
low
clouds,but
there
are
even
better
places
to
spot
these
little
clouds.The
greatest
gatherings
tend
to
occur
off
the
coasts
of
places
like
Namibia,in
Africa,and
northern
Chile.These
places
are
home
to
some
of
Earth’s
driest
deserts.And
I
like
visiting
such
places.
The
more
I
learned
about
these
little
clouds,the
more
fascinating
I
found
them.I’m
really
interested
in
the
various
ways
these
low
clouds
respond
to
their
environment.Because
there
are
so
many
low
clouds
and
they
help
keep
Earth
cool
by
reflecting
heat,anything
that
affects
them
can
also
affect
overall
climate.It
feeds
back
to
the
whole
energy
balance
of
the
planet.
Lately
I’ve
been
exploring
how
smoke
that
drifts(漂浮)
over
clouds
might
change
the
way
that
these
clouds
absorb
or
reflect
sunlight.Such
smoke—from
burning
trees
and
grasses—can
drift
thousands
of
kilometres.If
that
smoke
affects
clouds,it
might
also
affect
climate.Last
year,I
spent
a
month
on
distant
Ascension
Island
in
the
South
Atlantic
Ocean
setting
up
instruments
to
track
the
interaction(相互作用)
between
low
clouds
there
and
smoke
from
southern
Africa.
I
appreciate
the
diversity
in
my
work.Besides
the
occasional
trip
to
distant
islands,I
also
teach
and
work
with
other
scientists
to
better
understand
Earth’s
climate
system.Along
the
way,I’m
helping
bring
one
type
of
low
clouds
to
the
attention
it
deserves.
8.What
do
we
know
about
the
author?
A.She
learnt
three
majors
at
the
same
time
in
college.
B.She
wanted
to
study
low
clouds
when
she
was
a
kid.
C.She
knew
the
importance
of
low
clouds
when
in
university.
D.She
was
always
worried
about
climate
change
in
the
world.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第二段中的“ButIdidn’treallynoticelowcloudsuntil...IsuddenlyrealisedhowimportanttheirreflectionofheatbackintospacewasforEarth’sclimate.”可知,作者在上大学时知道了低云对气候变化的重要性。
9.Why
does
the
author
like
visiting
places
like
Namibia
and
northern
Chile?
A.Because
she
enjoys
views
of
deserts.
B.Because
she
loves
visiting
beautiful
coasts.
C.Because
she
has
got
tired
of
Seattle’s
skies.
D.Because
they’re
great
places
for
observing
low
clouds.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据第三段中的“ThegreatestgatheringstendtooccuroffthecoastsofplaceslikeNamibia,inAfrica,andnorthernChile.”可推断,作者喜欢去这些地方是因为这些地方很适合观察低云。
10.What
does
the
underlined
word
“diversity”
in
the
last
paragraph
mean?
A.The
fact
of
being
very
special.
B.The
fact
of
working
by
oneself.
C.The
fact
of
being
respected
by
others.
D.The
fact
of
including
some
different
things.
答案D
解析词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的“Besidestheoccasionaltriptodistantislands,IalsoteachandworkwithotherscientiststobetterunderstandEarth’sclimatesystem.”可知,作者的工作包括多方面的内容,因此可推测,diversity意为“多样性”。

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项有两项为多余选项。

What
does
it
mean
to
be
green?“Green”is
more
than
just
a
colour. 11 Why
green?Plants
are
green,and
without
them
the
Earth
wouldn’t
be
such
a
lovely
home
for
us
human
beings.What
can
we
do?Here’s
a
four-step
guide
to
being
green:?
ReduceIt!
12 For
instance,a
shorter
shower
means
you
used
less
water
and
less
fuel
since
your
house
uses
fuel
to
run
the
water
heater
that
warmed
up
the
water.?
ReuseIt!
Sometimes
people
call
ours
a
“throwaway
society”.That
means
that
we’re
a
little
too
willing
to
throw
away
old
stuff(东西)
and
buy
new
stuff. 13
For
instance,if
your
baby
brother
becomes
older
and
loses
interest
in
his
plastic
basketball
hoop(篮圈),why
not
give
it
to
another
family
who
has
a
little
kid??
RecycleIt!
Recycling
has
never
been
easier.Many
communities
will
pick
it
up
right
in
front
of
your
house
and
some
towns
even
require
it.Recycled
goods
go
to
a
recycling
centre,where
they
can
be
turned
into
new
cans,bottles,and
paper.
EnjoyIt!
It’s
true
that
rubbish
and
pollution
are
problems,but
the
Earth
remains
a
huge
and
beautiful
place
that’s
ready
for
you
to
explore. 14
Go
for
a
hike,visit
local
nature
centres
and
gardens,and
climb
up
mountains.?
But
before
you
travel
the
globe,take
a
look
at
your
own
backyard.Is
there
a
spot
where
you
could
plant
a
tree
or
put
in
a
little
fruit
or
vegetable
garden? 15 ?
A.If
so,get
out
there
and
get
your
hands
dirty.
B.Turn
off
the
water
when
you’re
brushing
your
teeth.
C.It
also
means
taking
special
steps
to
protect
the
environment.
D.When
you
use
less
of
something,you
do
a
good
thing
for
the
Earth.
E.You
can
start
locally
by
visiting
the
naturally
beautiful
spots
in
your
city.
F.Many
times,even
if
you
no
longer
need
something,someone
else
just
might.
G.You
can
watch
with
pride
as
your
tree
takes
root
and
your
garden
plants
grow.

and
drove
across
a
shallow
stream.I
was
halfway
21
when
my

began
to
22
round
and
round
without

a

car
had
stuck
in
the
mud.Full
of

looked
round
carefully.There
was
not
a
lion
in

distance.I
was
soon
in
the
stream
and
my
clothes
got
into
a
terrible
state,but
there
was

car
wouldn’t
move
though
I
pushed
it
hard. 26
there
was
a
forest
quite
near,I
didn’t
dare
to
go
there.When
I
got
back
into
the
car,I
felt
very

wondered

Recently
we’ve
had
a
discussion
on
whether
it
is
good
to
keep
wild
animals
in
cages.Here
are
the
results:some
think
it
is
OK
to
do
so
because
keeping
animals
in
cages
can
develop
their
love
for
animals
and
nature.Besides,it
can
also
protect
them
from
the
danger
in
the
wild.However,the
others
hold
an
opposite
view.The
animals
lose
freedom
if
they
are
kept
in
small
space.What’s
more,it
also
damages
the
balance
of
nature.?
As
far
as
I
am
concerned,it’s
wrong
to
keep
them
in
cages.We
should
return
them
to
nature.
第二节 概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Zoos
claim
to
educate
people
and
save
endangered
species,but
visitors
leave
zoos
without
having
learned
anything
meaningful
about
the
animals’
natural
behaviour,intelligence,or
beauty.Zoos
keep
animals
in
small
spaces
or
cages,and
most
signs
only
mention
the
species’
name,diet
and
natural
range.The
animals’
normal
behaviour
is
seldom
noticed
because
zoos
don’t
usually
take
care
of
the
animals’
natural
needs.
Zoo
officials
say
they
are
concerned
about
animals.However,most
zoos
remain
“collections”
of
interesting
“things”
rather
than
protective
habitats(栖息地).Zoos
teach
people
that
it
is
acceptable
to
keep
animals
bored,lonely,and
far
from
their
natural
homes.
The
animals
are
kept
together
in
small
spaces,with
no
privacy
and
little
opportunity
for
mental
and
physical
exercise.This
results
in
unusual
and
self-destructive
behaviour
called
zoochosis(动物精神病).A
worldwide
study
of
zoos
found
that
zoochosis
is
common
among
animals
kept
in
small
spaces
or
cages.Another
study
showed
that
elephants
spend
22
percent
of
their
time
making
repeated
head
movements
or
biting
cage
bars,and
bears
spend
30
percent
of
their
time
walking
back
and
forth,a
sign
of
unhappiness
and
pain.
Actually,we
will
save
endangered
species
only
if
we
save
their
habitats
and
put
an
end
to
the
reasons
why
people
kill
them.Instead
of
supporting
zoos,we
should
support
groups
that
work
to
protect
animals’
natural
habitats.

Zoos
failed

The
term
“ecology”
comes
from
a
Greek
word
that
means
“the
study
of
the
house”.Ecology
is
the
1
of
the
relationships
between
all
living
things
and
their
environments. 2
is
the
house
of
all
living
things.We
all
live
3
on
this
planet
and
it
is
our
home.Today,we
also
think
ecology
means
4
Earth
so
that
humans,plants
and
animals
can
all
grow
well. 5 ,we
can
damage
the
environment.?
Ecology
covers
every
part
of
a
living
thing’s
6
that
influences
its
ability
to
live.It
considers
the
7
between
a
living
thing
and
climate,soil
conditions.It
also
studies
how
much
clean
water
is
8
and
the
amount
of
natural
resources(资源).By
learning
about
these,we
can
make
9
decisions
that
protect
all
living
things
and
the
resources
they
need.There
are
many
things
that
we
can
do

10 .?
Conservation(保护)
is
one
area
of
11
where
we
can
all
make
a
difference.Conservation
means

四、阅读理解
The
release
of
a
single
female
pet
fish
into
the
wild
can
generate
entire
new
populations,even
with
no
males
present,according
to
a
new
research.
A
new
study
has
revealed(揭示)
how
the
guppy’s
ability
to
keep
on
reproducing
has
earned
the
fish
its
reputation
as
one
of
the
world’s
most
invasive(侵入的)
fish.
St
Andrews
University
biologists,who
made
the
discovery,are
now
warning
pet
owners
against
releasing
the
fish.
The
biologists
have
confirmed
the
two
most
important
routes
of
guppies
finding
their
way
into
the
wild
are
the
escapes
of
ornamental
fish(观赏鱼),and
deliberate
introductions
designed
to
control
the
larvae
of
mosquitoes
that
spread
malaria.
In
places
such
as
Southern
India,guppies
are
usually
released
into
water
wells
and
small
ponds
for
mosquito
control.
Although
self-contained
at
first,heavy
rains
and
flooding
mean
that
the
fish
eventually
find
their
way
to
streams
and
rivers
where
they
come
into
contact
with
native
fish.
Female
guppies
can
store
the
liquid
from
the
male
sex
organs
in
their
bodies
for
many
months
after
mating.
Dr
Amy
Deacon,St
Andrews
University
lead
researcher,said,“Usually
only
one
or
a
few
fish
are
released.”
“We
know
that
the
vast
majority
of
species
introduced
to
a
new
habitat
in
this
way
are
unable
to
survive,let
alone
establish
a
population,which
left
us
with
a
huge
question
mark.”
To
try
to
solve
the
mystery,the
researchers
conducted
an
experiment
where
single
wild
female
guppies
were
put
into
outdoor
tanks.
After
two
years,they
discovered
that
almost
all
of
the
tanks
contained
populations
of
guppies,each
founded
by
just
one
female.
Seemingly
harmless
activities
such
as
a
child
freeing
a
few
pet
fish
or
a
householder
using
guppies
to
control
mosquitoes,can
ultimately
contribute
to
the
reduction
of
biodiversity(生物多样性)
in
freshwater
habitats
across
the
world.
The
popular
ornamental
fish,whose
native
home
is
Trinidad
and
the
north-eastern
border
of
South
America,is
now
present
in
more
than
70
countries
worldwide.
1.The

is
most
likely
to
be
found
in
a
journal
about
.?
A.social
science
B.animal
science
C.successful
people
D.natural
environment
science
答案D
解析推理判断题。本文介绍了观赏鱼具有很强的侵入性,如果将观赏鱼放生,将会对淡水鱼产生很大影响,最终会减少全球淡水中生物的多样性,影响自然环境。所以此研究应该会出现在有关自然环境科学的期刊上。
2.Why
are
people
warned
not
to
free
pet
fish
to
the
wild?
A.Because
the
pet
fish
will
contribute
to
the
reduction
of
biodiversity.
B.Because
the
pet
fish
can
reproduce
fast
in
freshwater
in
the
wild.
C.Because
the
pet
fish
is
not
able
to
survive
in
a
new
habitat.
D.Because
the
pet
fish
is
able
to
spread
disease.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据倒数第二段内容可知,文中警告人们不要释放宠物鱼到野外,是因为宠物鱼会减少生物的多样性。
3.According
to
the
last
paragraph,we
can
infer
the
popular
ornamental
fish
is
.?
A.invasive
B.various
C.different
D.strong
答案A
解析推理判断题。通读全文,特别是最后一段提到产地是特立尼达和南美洲东北部边境的观赏鱼,现存于世界上70多个国家,由此可知,这种鱼具有非常强的侵入性。

which
freed

四、阅读理解
When
the
natural
climate
changes
due
to
global
warming,it
can
surely
affect
seals.The
majority
of
them
live
in
the
Antarctic
region,so
as
the
ice
is
melting,their
natural
habitat
can
be
seriously
affected.These
changes
don’t
take
place
overnight.They
can
be
the
result
of
many
years
of
additional
temperatures
in
the
area.The
seals
then
have
to
find
ways
to
adapt.
Seals
depend
on
the
cool
air
currents
to
bring
plenty
of
food
for
them.When
the
temperatures
get
higher,there
is
less
and
less
food
and
the
seal
population
starts
to
shrink.Mothers
aren’t
healthy
enough
to
feed
their
babies.Many
of
them
end
up
abandoned
as
the
mothers
have
to
leave
to
find
their
own
source
of
food.
The
fact
that
their
desire
to
produce
young
can
be
changed
by
the
warmer
temperatures
is
frightening
too.It
is
also
believed
that
the
warmer
temperatures
can
allow
different
diseases
and
viruses
to
attack
the
seals.This
is
a
huge
concern
as
they
can
rapidly
wipe
out
huge
numbers
of
seals
out
there.
However,these
changes
in
climate
and
temperature
aren’t
all
bad
for
other
species
of
seals.Scientists
have
found
that
those
living
in
warmer
climates
are
producing
more
young
due
to
the
changes.Research
also
shows
that
the
females
are
moving
further
to
find
food
and
water.When
they
are
out
of
the
reach
of
the
governing
males,they
are
more
willing
to
accept
the
moves
of
other
males
in
the
group.
This
is
good
news
too
because
it
means
that
there
will
be
more
selection
in
the
gene
pool(基因库)
for
future
generations.It
can
help
the
seals
as
a
species
adapt
to
change
in
their
natural
environment
more
easily.
The
climate
change
problem
for
seals
is
directly
linked
to
humans.When
we
take
action
to
change
what
we
let
out
into
the
environment,we
will
make
positive
changes
for
the
seals.However,it
is
going
to
take
a
very
long
time
to
reverse(彻底改变)
the
effects
of
what
has
already
been
done.
1.What
does
the
author
regard
climate
changes
for
seals
as?
A.A
double-edged
sword.
B.An
unavoidable
disaster
for
existence.
C.A
mirror
of
evolution.
D.A
requirement
for
more
choices
in
the
gene
pool.
答案A
解析推理判断题。文章第一至三段介绍了气候变暖对南极地区海豹的负面影响,第四、五段介绍了气候变暖对其他种类海豹的正面影响,由此推知,在作者看来,对海豹来说,气候变暖既有利又有弊,是把双刃剑。故选A项。
2.What
will
happen
to
the
seals
in
warmer
climates?
A.Their
number
will
be
on
the
increase.
B.The
female
seals
will
be
in
the
lead.
C.Their
genes
will
change
a
great
deal.
D.The
females
will
keep
away
from
the
males.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据第四段中的“...thoselivinginwarmerclimatesareproducingmoreyoungduetothechanges.”可知,那些生活在较暖和地区的海豹会因为气候变暖而繁殖更多的幼崽。由此可知,它们的数量会增加。
3.Which
of
the

for
the

A.The

B.Seals’

C.How

D.Why

答案C
解析标题归纳题。根据全文内容可知,本文主要讲述了全球气候变暖给海豹带来的负面影响和正面影响,因此C项“气候变化如何影响海豹”最适合作为本文标题。

四、阅读理解
A
Scientists
have
recreated
a
1985
study
of
birds
in
Peru
that
shows
climate
change
is
pushing
them
from
their
natural
environment.Thirty
years
ago,researchers
studied
over
400
kinds
of
birds
living
on
a
mountainside
in
Peru.In
2017,researchers
looked
again
at
the
bird
populations.They
found
that
almost
all
had
moved
to
higher
places
in
the
mountain.Almost
all
had
decreased
in
size.And,the
scientists
say
at
least
eight
bird
groups
that
started
at
the
higher
elevations(高地)
had
died
out
completely.
The
researchers
say
the
birds
might
have
moved
up
the
mountain
because
of
temperature
changes.Or
changes
to
food
sources
may
have
forced
them
to
go
higher.The
findings
were
published
in
a
science
journal.The
1985
research
has
documented
birds
and
other
animals
moving
up
in
elevation(高地)
in
reaction
to
warming
temperatures.Mark
Urban,a
biologist
at
a
university,said
this
recent
study
was
the
first
to
prove
that
rising
temperatures
and
moving
to
avoid
them
can
lead
to
extinction.
In
2016,Fitzpatrick,director
and
a
co-writer
of
the
study
passed
his
notes,photos
and
other
records
to
Benjamin
Freeman.Freeman
has
been
researching
tropical
birds
for
more
than
10
years.He
set
out
in
August
and
September
of
2017
to
copy
Fitzpatrick’s
study.His
team
used
the
same
methods,searching
the
same
places
in
the
same
time
of
year.
Freeman’s
team
wanted
to
see
how
things
had
changed
for
the
bird
groups
since
1985.The
average
temperatures
on
the
mountain
had
risen
0.42
degrees
Celsius.His
team
placed
20
sound
recording
devices
on
the
mountain
to
record
the
sounds
of
birds
that
might
not
easily
be
seen.
Freeman
said
that
the
birds
moved
an
average
of
98
meters
further
up
the
mountain.He
believes
that
temperature
is
the
main
cause
of
the
birds’
movement.Fitzpatrick
noted
that
birds
used
to
living
in
areas
with
little
temperature
change
may
be
especially
at
risk
because
of
climate
change.He
said,“We
should
expect
that
what’s
happening
on
this
mountain
top
is
happening
more
generally
in
the
Andes,and
other
tropical
mountain
ranges.”
1.How
many
kinds
of
birds
lived
in
Peru
30
years
ago?
A.At
least
eight
bird
groups.
B.More
than
400.
C.Over
eight
bird
groups.
D.Less
than
400.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Thirtyyearsago,researchersstudiedover400kindsofbirdslivingonamountainsideinPeru.”可知,30年前,研究人员研究了秘鲁山脉中的400多种鸟类,故B项正确。
2.Why
did
the
birds
move
up
the
mountain?
A.To
avoid
temperature
changes.
B.To
find
more
food
sources.
C.To
adapt
to
extreme
temperature.
D.To
react
to
the
increase
of
other
kinds
of
animals.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据第二段第一、二句可知,这些鸟可能是因为温度变化而上山,或者食物来源的改变可能迫使它们去山的高处。故鸟类移到山的高处主要是为了避免温度变化,故A项正确。
3.How

A.They

D.They

答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Histeamplaced20soundrecordingdevicesonthemountaintorecordthesoundsofbirdsthatmightnoteasilybeseen.”可知,他的团队在山上放置了20个录音设备来记录那些不容易被看到的鸟类的声音。分析选项可知C项符合题意。

Mike
Myers
is
a
teacher
at
Chauncey
Rose
High
School
in
Terre
Haute,Indiana.Last
year,he
taught
his
students
about
the
world’s
rain
forests.They
learned
that
rain
forests
are
important
because
the
plants
and
animals
of
the
rain
forest
give
us
food,wood
and
medicine.
Destruction
of
the
world’s
rain
forests
is
a
serious
problem.Unluckily,rain
forests
are
disappearing
at
a
rate
of
80
acres
per
minute!
As
part
of
a
class
project,Myers’
students
bought
three
acres
of
rain
forest
in
Central
America.They
paid
$25
per
acre.The
students
hope
that
the
land
they
bought
will
be
protected
and
not
destroyed.The
students
became
so
interested
in
rain
forests
that
they
decided
to
get
a
closer
look
at
a
real

branches
off
the
trees
and
threw
them
at
us,”
one
of
the
students
said.“It

Myers.
Each

chose
something

the
last
few
days
the
group
had

do
fun
activities.They
went
whitewater
rafting
and
horseback
riding
and

the
trip
every
year

different
group
of
kids.
