Ⅰ.阅读
It’s shocking that countless species become extinct every year and such extinction means forever.To change the situation, scientists are now on their way to bringing back extinct species.
DNA is the chemical that carries the structure of a living thing, which is needed by researchers to bring back a species.Dinosaurs have been gone too long for any of their DNA to remain in fossils.However it seems possible to bring back more recently extinct species such as Ice Age animal, the woolly mammoth.In 2015, a team of Spanish and French scientists re-created the Pyrenean ibex, which had gone extinct three years earlier.The new animal didn’t survive long, but scientific advances should improve the success rate.In January, Australian scientists announced that they were trying to restore the brooding frog.
That we can bring species back doesn’t mean that we should.There may be benefits to bring back a species.But there’s no way to know how it will turn out.For example, would a passenger pigeon fit into its old habitat? Or might it crowd out existing species?
Environmentalists worry that our ability to bring species back might cut down support for the hard work of traditional conservation.Why bother to preserve a wild life habitat or fight poachers (偷猎者) if we know we can make up for our mistakes? But those extinctions are our mistakes to correct.As environmentalist Stewart Brand put it, “Humans have the ability to repair some of that damage.”
We would do well to remember the lesson of Jurassic Park:Continue with caution.
1.What can we know from Para.2?
A.Scientists have successfully brought back some dinosaurs.
B.It’s likely for scientists to bring back recently extinct animals.
C.Scientists have discovered DNA of all Ice Age species in fossils.
D.Ice Age animals live longer than before after being brought back to life.
2.What makes environmentalists worried according to the passage?
A.Scientists cannot make up for the mistakes they made in DNA research.
B.Scientists still lack technical support to bring back extinct species to life.
C.Traditional conservation seems useless when restoring species is available.
D.Species that will be brought back to life after distinction will not survive long.
3.What is the probable attitude of Stewart Brand toward bringing extinct species back to life?
A.Critical. B.Worried.
C.Disapproving. D.Supportive.

W:Well,I’m a bit bored where I’m working at the moment,so I’d really like a change.Your company is bigger,and the salary’s a lot better than the job I’ve got.Most importantly,I like the unfixed working hours,because I find it really hard to get up in the morning!
M:And where do you want to be in five years’ time?
W:Australia,I hope!I don’t want to leave my family in the long term.I’m planning to stay here in Britain for a year or two,but to be honest I really want to move somewhere hot and sunny,like Mexico.But my mum won’t let me go.
(Text 10)
Hello,everyone.Now I’d like to tell you an unforgettable experience my husband and I once had.Well,we went to Australia for our honeymoon this year.We spent a week in South Australia,a week in Victoria,and two weeks in Queensland.On one particular day we were up in the north of Queensland.We had about two hours until our bus left to go back south again.My husband and I decided to go for a walk.So we followed the road and then down this path.Anyway,it was lovely and we lay on this beach and the beach was fantastic.Then we looked at our watches and realised actually we were going to miss our bus.So we decided to take a short cut.Instead of going back to the road,
we’d just walk over the hill.Then we were faced with this problem that a river cut off our way.We thought the water would go up to our knees and it wasn’t running fast,so we’d be fine.So we started to walk through the river.We walked carefully and slowly.When we got about half way through,suddenly my husband shouted,“Quick!Run!” I asked,“Why?” He said,“Just run!Just run!”So we started running and finally got to the other side.I stood there with water dropping off my hair.I asked again,“Why did we have to run?” My husband pointed to a large board near the river.On the board it got written,“Snakes in the river.DO NOT CROSS!”I looked at my husband with my eyes and mouth wide open.
第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Soon enough,we will lose some of the most amazing sites on Earth!
The Great Barrier Reef
Rising air temperatures will cause sea temperatures to rise as well.All life supported by the oceans will be affected with this shock to their ecosystem.Corals are some of the most vulnerable marine animals and we are already watching whole reefs disappear.The Great Barrier Reef in Australia is no exception and will continue to shrink as the temperatures rise!These reefs are some of the best in the world for diving,but they will soon disappear!
Venice
Sprawling across(横跨)hundreds of small islands in Northeast Italy,Venice is at extreme risk of sinking into the Adriatic Sea.Rising sea levels are in fact a serious threat to many coastal cities located at sea level.Lucky for us,however,Venice is developing a series of sea walls to protect the city in times of high tide.
Glacier(冰川) National Park
Glacier National Park was once covered by over 150 glaciers,but by 2005 it only had about 27!Located in Montana,Canada,this park is over a million acres and has a huge plant and wildlife population.As temperatures rise,the glaciers and ice melt,which will upset the ecosystems sustaining over a thousand plant species and hundreds of animals.
The Amazon
The cause behind the disappearance of these fantastic places ultimately comes down to humans.Our expansion usually requires cutting down forests for land,fuel and materials,but rarely considers the consequences.These forests are sources of food and medicine for just about everyone on the planet!
What will happen if we lose these valuable places and beautiful destinations?
21.According to the text,what is causing the corals’ death?
A.Rising sea levels.
B.Rising sea temperatures.
C.Humans’ diving activities.
D.The shrinkage(缩小) of their habitats.
22.What can we infer from the part of “Venice”?
A.Many places are in the risk of sinking below the sea level.
B.Venice is the only coastal city of Italy.
C.Venice will never sink because of the protection of sea walls.
D.Italy consists of hundreds of small islands in the Adriatic Sea.
23.Which site’s shrinking reason differs from the other sites?
A.The Great Barrier Reef.
B.Venice.
C.The Amazon.
D.Glacier National Park.

More and more birds are flying to settle in Qinghai Lake,one of the highest inland lakes in China,thanks to the protection efforts of the local government.Covering an area of over 4,000 square kilometers,Qinghai Lake is also the country’s biggest salt lake.
Located in Qinghai Province in the Northwest of China,the lake is famous for the two islands at its northwest point—Cormorant Island and Egg Island.The two islands have plenty of floating grass and various fish,offering rich food sources to birds.The islands have become a paradise for different kinds of groups of birds and have been called “Bird Islands”.
Each March and April,when ice and snow covering the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (高原) start to melt,over 20 kinds of birds fly to the Bird Islands to lay eggs.During the months,flocks of birds cover the whole sky over the islands and bird eggs can be found everywhere.Visitors can hear the singing of birds from miles away.These have become a world-famous symbol of the lake.
To protect this paradise for birds and support calls for ecological protection,China set up the Qinghai Lake National Natural Reserve at the end of 1997.Meanwhile,the State has pointed out that the Bird Islands and Spring Bay of Qinghai Lake were central reserves.
Inspectors and conservators often patrol (巡逻) the lake,enriching local residents’ knowledge of related laws and spreading knowledge about animal protection to visitors.They are making great efforts to call on people to love and protect the birds.At the same time,they have built special fences around the island area to prevent wolves,foxes and other carnivorous animals,as well as illegal hunters from breaking up the birds’ building nests,laying eggs and breeding (繁殖).As a result,more and more birds are coming to the islands for sheltering and breeding.

Global warming is the increase of the earth’s average surface temperature due to the effect of greenhouse gases,for example,carbon dioxide,which trap heat that would otherwise escape from the earth.After the trees are cut down and more greenhouse gases are released,the “blanket” around the earth called the ozone layer (臭氧层),will get thicker.This catches more heat and makes the earth hotter.Luckily,there are many things that every citizen of the earth can do to help reduce the effects of global warming,and it’s never too late or too early for children to take action.
The children should learn what a carbon footprint is.A carbon footprint is the amount of carbon and greenhouse gases people make as they lead the daily life and go about the normal activities.In other words,the carbon footprint is a measure of the environmental impact (冲击) the life has.To live an environmentally friendly life that doesn’t contribute to global warming,people want to have the smallest carbon footprint possible.
Almost everything people do contributes to global warming and is related to fossil fuel consumption.These can be direct uses of fossil fuels,like riding in a gasoline-powered car,or indirect contributions to greenhouse gases,such as eating fruit or vegetables that had to be shipped from far way to reach their tables.
If a child wants to make a contribution to reducing global warming,he should ride a bicycle to the near park,school,his friend’s house,or anywhere else instead of taking the car.Or he may try to walk or jog,which is also helpful.In addition,
although trains and buses often run on fossil fuels,on average,each person uses less energy and produces less pollution to run.Next time if children with their parents have to get around town or it’s too far to walk or bike,take the bus or other public transportation instead of asking for a ride.
28.What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A.A brief description of carbon footprint.
B.The serious water pollution.
C.The protection of ozone layer.
D.The causes of global warming.
29.Which of the following can describe the carbon footprint?
A.Useless. B.Expensive.
C.Helpful. D.Attractive.
30.What can kids do if they want to help reduce global warming?
A.Go to the near park by bus.
B.Walk or cycle as much as possible.
C.Keep staying at home or school.
D.Go around the town with parents by car.
31.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.What Can People Do to Use Less Energy?
B.How Can Kids Help Reduce Global Warming?
C.How Does Carbon Footprints Measure Pollution?
D.Why Global Warming Affects Humans’ Life?

Walk through the Amazon rainforest today and you will find it steamy,warm,damp and thick.But if you had been there around 15,000 years ago,during the last ice age,would it have been the same?For more than 30 years,scientists have been arguing about how rainforests might have reacted to the cold,dry climate of the ice ages,but till now,no one has reached a satisfying answer.
Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to solve global warming.Currently the trees in the Amazon take in around 500 million tons of CO2 each year:equal to the total amount of CO2 given off in the UK each year.But how will the Amazon react to the future climate change?If it gets drier,will it survive and continue to draw down CO2?Scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainforest will manage in the future by understanding how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past.
Unfortunately,collecting information is incredibly difficult.To study the past climate,scientists need to look at fossilised pollen (花粉) kept in lake mud.Going back to the last ice age means drilling down into lake sediment (沉淀物),which requires specialised equipment and heavy machinery.There are very few roads and paths,or places to land helicopters and aeroplanes.Rivers tend to be the easiest way to enter the forest,but this still leaves vast areas between the rivers completely unsampled (未取样).So far,only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice age and none of them provides enough information to prove how the Amazon forest reacts to climate change.
32.How do scientists study the past climate change?
A.By predicting the climate change in the future.
B.By drilling down deep into land sediment.
C.By taking samples from rivers in the Amazon.
D.By analysing fossilised pollen in lake mud.
33.What is needed for drilling down into lake sediment?
A.The latest helicopter.
B.The special equipment.
C.The light machinery.
D.The narrow path.
34.What is the purpose of writing the passage?
A.To attract more people’s attention to CO2.
B.To call on people to protect rainforests.
C.To inform people of how scientists work on rainforests.
D.To warn people to stay away from the danger of rainforests.
35.The best title for the text may be .
A.Mystery of the Rainforest
B.Climates of the Amazon
C.The History of the Rainforest
D.Changes of the Rainforest
语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文。关于雨林怎样应对气候变化,人们一直没有找到满意的答案。科学家们采用了不同的方法去检测,但最终仍没有结果。阅读本文,有利于引导学生体会自然文化遗产的魅力,增强学生保护自然文化遗产的意识。
答案及剖析:
32.D 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第三段的第二句可知,研究过去的气候变化,科学家需要看保存在湖泥里的花粉化石。故选D。
33.B 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第三段的第三句可知,回到上一个冰河时代意味着下钻到湖泊里的沉淀物,这需要专门的设备和重型机械。故选B。
34.C 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。这是一篇科普文章,写作目的通常是提供信息。A项是吸引更多人对二氧化碳的注意,和文章无关;B项是号召人们保护雨林,此文不是强调保护雨林;D项是警告人们远离雨林的危险,文章没有讲到雨林的危险。故选C。
35.A 标题归纳题。考查学生理解和概括归纳文章标题的能力。根据第一段内容可知,关于雨林怎样应对气候变化,人们一直没有找到满意的答案,第二、第三段讲述的是科学家采用不同的方法去检测,却没有结果,所以标题“热带雨林之谜”是最恰当的。故选A。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
For serious birders who regularly observe birds in the wild,ignoring climate change isn’t possible.We have been seeing and documenting the effects of a warming climate since at least the 1950s.
36. Glossy black great-tailed grackles (美洲黑羽椋鸟),for example,
previously found primarily in the tropics (热带),first reached southeastern California in 1964.They are now found throughout most of the state.
New research from the National Audubon Society highlights the dangers of the trend.For its new report,“Survival by Degrees”,Audubon scientists analysed the current geographic ranges of 604 North American bird species,and modeled how those ranges would change at different levels of warming.At a global temperature rise of three degrees Celsius,they found that 389 of those species—or nearly two-thirds of those studied—would become endangered,losing much of their current habitat.
37.
Why does this matter to anyone who’s not a bird watcher? For one thing,birds play a crucial role in the ecology,keeping down insect populations and serving as food themselves for larger predators (食肉动物).38. Their shifting ranges warn of increasing droughts,floods,fires,rising seas and unlivable cities.
39. Audubon scientists modeled what would happen at lesser levels of warming,and the results are striking.Limiting warming to 1.5 degrees would reduce the danger for three-quarters of those threatened birds.Audubon’s report “Survival by Degrees” is not a depressing forecast but rather a call to action.It stresses the need for action at every level,by individuals and governments alike,to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
As a lifelong birder,I’m proud of the role my tribe has played in documenting the effects of climate change.When local conditions change,particular types of frogs or wildflowers may decrease and disappear,few will notice.40. I hope people can pay close attention to the urgent message in this new report and work together for solutions.Birds tell us we don’t have time to wait.
A.We still have time to do something about it,however.
B.But they also serve as a visible symbol of broader environmental shifts.
C.This would greatly benefit humans,reducing the potential suffering for people.
D.But when a bird species disappears,we dedicated birders document the change.
E.In recent decades,that has meant a consistent northward shift in where species are found.
F.The changes will make birding exciting,with birders finding new species in unexpected places.
G.Even if some could shift their range northward,they would soon start to run out of room on the map.
语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文。对于经常在野外的严肃的观鸟者来说,忽视气候变化是不可能的。文章说明了在最近的几十年里,鸟类栖息地的迁徙情况以及气候变暖对鸟类的影响,还说明了鸟类的重要性,同时呼吁人们采取行动保护鸟类。阅读本文,有利于培养学生爱护野生动物、保护自然环境的意识。
答案及剖析:
36.E 考查学生理解上下文语义、建立段落内语义连贯的能力。根据本段内容可知,一些物种在不断向北迁徙。E项符合语境,故选E。
37.G 考查学生理解平行和递进语义连贯的具体信息的能力。根据空前一句可知,许多鸟类已经失去了它们大部分栖息地,很快就会没有空间了。G项符合语境,故选G。
38.B 考查学生理解语义转折句的衔接关系的能力。根据空后一句可知,鸟类的迁徙也可以作为环境变化的标志。B项符合语境,故选B。
39.A 考查学生对平行信息之间的衔接关系的理解能力。根据本段内容可知,只要我们采取行动,还有时间去挽救鸟类。A项符合语境,故选A。
40.D 考查学生理解上下文语义、建立段落内语义连贯的能力。根据空前两句可知,作为一名终身观鸟者,作者为自己的部落在记录气候变化影响方面发挥的作用感到自豪。当地情况发生变化时,某些种类的青蛙或野花可能会减少或消失,这很少有人会注意到,但是观鸟者能够注意到鸟类的消失,做好记录。D项符合语境,故选D。

Boyan Slat is 26.If you saw him walking down the street,you might think he was just a student at a local technical university.And so he was,seven years ago,right before he dropped out of college.
Slat’s life began to 41 after a holiday trip to Greece with his family when he was 16.Before taking a diving course,he had 42 to see beautiful sea animals.However,what he 43 saw in the ocean was an awful lot of 44 waste.From that moment on,Slat dived into a project to find a solution to this alarming problem. 45 by the idea for a floating barrier that could collect plastic in the oceans,he founded his company at the age of 18.Although the idea was named one of the best 46 of 2015 by TIME magazine,he received 47 feedback from the specialists in environmental issues.
Slat was not 48 and continued with his mission.After five and a half
years’ hard work,he launched the world’s 49 ocean plastic cleanup system:System 001.The U-shaped pipe,about 609 meters in 50 ,snakes its way out under the Golden Gate Bridge into the Pacific.These floating barriers will capture(捕获)plastic as the ocean water flows past.Ships will collect the waste and bring it to land for 51 every few months.According to Slat,if all goes to plan,only 60 systems could reduce the amount of plastic there by as much as 50 percent by 2025.
52 ,there remains a problem:what will happen to the plastic brought back to shore from Slat’s systems?It’s likely that lots of the waste will 53 be recycled into more single-use plastic that ends up back in the 54 .That doesn’t mean Slat will 55 .“Big problems require big solutions,”he said.“If anyone has any better ideas,I’d love to know.”

答案及剖析:
56.successfully 考查副词。分析句子结构可知,根据后面的“climbed”可知,此处应用副词来修饰动词,故填successfully。
57.waiting 考查非谓语动词。此处充当介词about的宾语,故填waiting。
58.crowds 考查名词复数。根据前面的形容词“dangerous”可知,此处应用名词形式,crowd意为“人群”,为可数名词,且句子的谓语aren’t为复数形式,故填crowds。
59.to bring 考查非谓语动词。此处表示“所有这些登山者都需要带着大量设备”,故此处用need to do sth.,表示“需要做某事”。

61.that 考查名词性从句。分析句子结构并结合句意可知,此处引导表语从句,引导词在从句中不充当成分,仅起连接作用,故用that引导该从句。
62.have collected 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。根据句中的时间状语“So far”可知,此处应用现在完成时;主语they为复数,故填have collected。
63.a 考查冠词。此处表示“一个更高的目标”,表泛指,故填a。
64.in 考查介词。根据句意可知,此处表示“在尼泊尔的首都”,in表示“在(某范围或空间内的)某一点”,故填in。

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。
When I was 17,I read a magazine article about a museum called the McNay Art Museum,once the home of a watercolorist named Marian McNay.She had requested the community to turn it into a museum upon her death.On a sunny Saturday,Sally and I drove over to the museum.
“Do you have the address?” Sally asked while we were on the way.
“No,but I will recognise it.There was a picture in the magazine,” I answered confidently.
“Oh,stop.There it is.” I pulled my car slowly over a house which seemed like a house with heavy smell of life rather than a former residence (故居).
Surprisingly,nobody was at the gate and admission was free.We opened the door and entered,excited.A group of people sitting around a table stopped chatting and stared at us.
A sweet girl in her teens locked her eyes on us and welcomed us with a sweet smile,“Hello,but who are you looking for?”
A man stood up and said almost at the same time.“May I help you?”
“No,” I said.“We’re fine.”
Tour guides got on my nerves.What if they talked a long time about a painting you were not that interested in? Sally had gone upstairs.The people in the hall seemed very confused,keeping their eyes on me with curiosity.What was their problem? Some nice sculptures were well placed along the staircases (楼梯) and some paintings from Van Gogh or Picasso were hung on walls and I appreciated them and highly praised the most beautiful house.Suddenly a picture of a man surrounded by a warm family caught my eyes and I also spotted the sweet girl among them.
“This is the most beautiful house I have visited.” said I,turning sharply,almost scaring the girl standing behind me.
“The most beautiful house? The most beautiful house!”She murmured.
“Am I at the McNay Art Museum?” asked I.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
She smiled,shaking her head.
Paragraph 2:
Years later,after a public speech,a woman approached and thanked me,asking whether I once entered a house, thinking it was the McNay Art Museum.

3.汇集故事线索,列出写作要点。
4.优化语言,完善续写逻辑。
One possible version:
She smiled,shaking her head.“Sorry,the McNay Art Museum is on another street.”
“What’s this place?” I asked and I was still confused.
“It’s my home,” she said with a sweet smile and her answer shocked me.
Recovering from the shock,I raced to the staircases and called Sally to come down immediately.I pushed her towards the front door,waving at the family and asking them to forgive us for breaking into their beautiful house.Outside,when I told Sally what had happened,she covered her mouth,laughing.
Years later,after a public speech,a woman approached and thanked me,asking whether I once entered a house,thinking it was the McNay Art Museum.“Yes.But how do you know? We never told anyone.”I asked in surprise.
“That was my home.I was the girl saying hello to you in the hall.”I locked my eyes on her and could figure out the familiar sweet smile.She told me she never felt lucky before we came over and she never realised what a beautiful house she once lived in.Her feeling about her home changed after that and she had always wanted to thank me.

Ⅰ.阅读
It’s shocking that countless species become extinct every year and such extinction means forever.To change the situation, scientists are now on their way to bringing back extinct species.
DNA is the chemical that carries the structure of a living thing, which is needed by researchers to bring back a species.Dinosaurs have been gone too long for any of their DNA to remain in fossils.However it seems possible to bring back more recently extinct species such as Ice Age animal, the woolly mammoth.In 2015, a team of Spanish and French scientists re-created the Pyrenean ibex, which had gone extinct three years earlier.The new animal didn’t survive long, but scientific advances should improve the success rate.In January, Australian scientists announced that they were trying to restore the brooding frog.
That we can bring species back doesn’t mean that we should.There may be benefits to bring back a species.But there’s no way to know how it will turn out.For example, would a passenger pigeon fit into its old habitat? Or might it crowd out existing species?
Environmentalists worry that our ability to bring species back might cut down support for the hard work of traditional conservation.Why bother to preserve a wild life habitat or fight poachers (偷猎者) if we know we can make up for our mistakes? But those extinctions are our mistakes to correct.As environmentalist Stewart Brand put it, “Humans have the ability to repair some of that damage.”
We would do well to remember the lesson of Jurassic Park:Continue with caution.
1.What can we know from Para.2?
A.Scientists have successfully brought back some dinosaurs.
B.It’s likely for scientists to bring back recently extinct animals.
C.Scientists have discovered DNA of all Ice Age species in fossils.
D.Ice Age animals live longer than before after being brought back to life.
2.What makes environmentalists worried according to the passage?
A.Scientists cannot make up for the mistakes they made in DNA research.
B.Scientists still lack technical support to bring back extinct species to life.
C.Traditional conservation seems useless when restoring species is available.
D.Species that will be brought back to life after distinction will not survive long.
3.What is the probable attitude of Stewart Brand toward bringing extinct species back to life?
A.Critical. B.Worried.
C.Disapproving. D.Supportive.

W:Well,I’m a bit bored where I’m working at the moment,so I’d really like a change.Your company is bigger,and the salary’s a lot better than the job I’ve got.Most importantly,I like the unfixed working hours,because I find it really hard to get up in the morning!
M:And where do you want to be in five years’ time?
W:Australia,I hope!I don’t want to leave my family in the long term.I’m planning to stay here in Britain for a year or two,but to be honest I really want to move somewhere hot and sunny,like Mexico.But my mum won’t let me go.
(Text 10)
Hello,everyone.Now I’d like to tell you an unforgettable experience my husband and I once had.Well,we went to Australia for our honeymoon this year.We spent a week in South Australia,a week in Victoria,and two weeks in Queensland.On one particular day we were up in the north of Queensland.We had about two hours until our bus left to go back south again.My husband and I decided to go for a walk.So we followed the road and then down this path.Anyway,it was lovely and we lay on this beach and the beach was fantastic.Then we looked at our watches and realised actually we were going to miss our bus.So we decided to take a short cut.Instead of going back to the road,
we’d just walk over the hill.Then we were faced with this problem that a river cut off our way.We thought the water would go up to our knees and it wasn’t running fast,so we’d be fine.So we started to walk through the river.We walked carefully and slowly.When we got about half way through,suddenly my husband shouted,“Quick!Run!” I asked,“Why?” He said,“Just run!Just run!”So we started running and finally got to the other side.I stood there with water dropping off my hair.I asked again,“Why did we have to run?” My husband pointed to a large board near the river.On the board it got written,“Snakes in the river.DO NOT CROSS!”I looked at my husband with my eyes and mouth wide open.

第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Soon enough,we will lose some of the most amazing sites on Earth!
The Great Barrier Reef
Rising air temperatures will cause sea temperatures to rise as well.All life supported by the oceans will be affected with this shock to their ecosystem.Corals are some of the most vulnerable marine animals and we are already watching whole reefs disappear.The Great Barrier Reef in Australia is no exception and will continue to shrink as the temperatures rise!These reefs are some of the best in the world for diving,but they will soon disappear!
Venice
Sprawling across(横跨)hundreds of small islands in Northeast Italy,Venice is at extreme risk of sinking into the Adriatic Sea.Rising sea levels are in fact a serious threat to many coastal cities located at sea level.Lucky for us,however,Venice is developing a series of sea walls to protect the city in times of high tide.
Glacier(冰川) National Park
Glacier National Park was once covered by over 150 glaciers,but by 2005 it only had about 27!Located in Montana,Canada,this park is over a million acres and has a huge plant and wildlife population.As temperatures rise,the glaciers and ice melt,which will upset the ecosystems sustaining over a thousand plant species and hundreds of animals.
The Amazon
The cause behind the disappearance of these fantastic places ultimately comes down to humans.Our expansion usually requires cutting down forests for land,fuel and materials,but rarely considers the consequences.These forests are sources of food and medicine for just about everyone on the planet!
What will happen if we lose these valuable places and beautiful destinations?
21.According to the text,what is causing the corals’ death?
A.Rising sea levels.
B.Rising sea temperatures.
C.Humans’ diving activities.
D.The shrinkage(缩小) of their habitats.
22.What can we infer from the part of “Venice”?
A.Many places are in the risk of sinking below the sea level.
B.Venice is the only coastal city of Italy.
C.Venice will never sink because of the protection of sea walls.
D.Italy consists of hundreds of small islands in the Adriatic Sea.
23.Which site’s shrinking reason differs from the other sites?
A.The Great Barrier Reef.
B.Venice.
C.The Amazon.
D.Glacier National Park.

More and more birds are flying to settle in Qinghai Lake,one of the highest inland lakes in China,thanks to the protection efforts of the local government.Covering an area of over 4,000 square kilometers,Qinghai Lake is also the country’s biggest salt lake.
Located in Qinghai Province in the Northwest of China,the lake is famous for the two islands at its northwest point—Cormorant Island and Egg Island.The two islands have plenty of floating grass and various fish,offering rich food sources to birds.The islands have become a paradise for different kinds of groups of birds and have been called “Bird Islands”.
Each March and April,when ice and snow covering the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (高原) start to melt,over 20 kinds of birds fly to the Bird Islands to lay eggs.During the months,flocks of birds cover the whole sky over the islands and bird eggs can be found everywhere.Visitors can hear the singing of birds from miles away.These have become a world-famous symbol of the lake.
To protect this paradise for birds and support calls for ecological protection,China set up the Qinghai Lake National Natural Reserve at the end of 1997.Meanwhile,the State has pointed out that the Bird Islands and Spring Bay of Qinghai Lake were central reserves.
Inspectors and conservators often patrol (巡逻) the lake,enriching local residents’ knowledge of related laws and spreading knowledge about animal protection to visitors.They are making great efforts to call on people to love and protect the birds.At the same time,they have built special fences around the island area to prevent wolves,foxes and other carnivorous animals,as well as illegal hunters from breaking up the birds’ building nests,laying eggs and breeding (繁殖).As a result,more and more birds are coming to the islands for sheltering and breeding.
24.Why are more and more birds coming to the biggest salt lake in the Northwest of China?
A.Because it is getting warmer and warmer.
B.Because it is being reformed.
C.Because the environment is getting more agreeable to them to live in.

Global warming is the increase of the earth’s average surface temperature due to the effect of greenhouse gases,for example,carbon dioxide,which trap heat that would otherwise escape from the earth.After the trees are cut down and more greenhouse gases are released,the “blanket” around the earth called the ozone layer (臭氧层),will get thicker.This catches more heat and makes the earth hotter.Luckily,there are many things that every citizen of the earth can do to help reduce the effects of global warming,and it’s never too late or too early for children to take action.
The children should learn what a carbon footprint is.A carbon footprint is the amount of carbon and greenhouse gases people make as they lead the daily life and go about the normal activities.In other words,the carbon footprint is a measure of the environmental impact (冲击) the life has.To live an environmentally friendly life that doesn’t contribute to global warming,people want to have the smallest carbon footprint possible.
Almost everything people do contributes to global warming and is related to fossil fuel consumption.These can be direct uses of fossil fuels,like riding in a gasoline-powered car,or indirect contributions to greenhouse gases,such as eating fruit or vegetables that had to be shipped from far way to reach their tables.
If a child wants to make a contribution to reducing global warming,he should ride a bicycle to the near park,school,his friend’s house,or anywhere else instead of taking the car.Or he may try to walk or jog,which is also helpful.In addition,
although trains and buses often run on fossil fuels,on average,each person uses less energy and produces less pollution to run.Next time if children with their parents have to get around town or it’s too far to walk or bike,take the bus or other public transportation instead of asking for a ride.
28.What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A.A brief description of carbon footprint.
B.The serious water pollution.
C.The protection of ozone layer.
D.The causes of global warming.
29.Which of the following can describe the carbon footprint?
A.Useless. B.Expensive.
C.Helpful. D.Attractive.
30.What can kids do if they want to help reduce global warming?
A.Go to the near park by bus.
B.Walk or cycle as much as possible.
C.Keep staying at home or school.
D.Go around the town with parents by car.
31.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.What Can People Do to Use Less Energy?
B.How Can Kids Help Reduce Global Warming?
C.How Does Carbon Footprints Measure Pollution?
D.Why Global Warming Affects Humans’ Life?

D
Walk through the Amazon rainforest today and you will find it steamy,warm,damp and thick.But if you had been there around 15,000 years ago,during the last ice age,would it have been the same?For more than 30 years,scientists have been arguing about how rainforests might have reacted to the cold,dry climate of the ice ages,but till now,no one has reached a satisfying answer.
Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to solve global warming.Currently the trees in the Amazon take in around 500 million tons of CO2 each year:equal to the total amount of CO2 given off in the UK each year.But how will the Amazon react to the future climate change?If it gets drier,will it survive and continue to draw down CO2?Scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainforest will manage in the future by understanding how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past.
Unfortunately,collecting information is incredibly difficult.To study the past climate,scientists need to look at fossilised pollen (花粉) kept in lake mud.Going back to the last ice age means drilling down into lake sediment (沉淀物),which requires specialised equipment and heavy machinery.There are very few roads and paths,or places to land helicopters and aeroplanes.Rivers tend to be the easiest way to enter the forest,but this still leaves vast areas between the rivers completely unsampled (未取样).So far,only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice age and none of them provides enough information to prove how the Amazon forest reacts to climate change.
32.How do scientists study the past climate change?
A.By predicting the climate change in the future.
B.By drilling down deep into land sediment.
C.By taking samples from rivers in the Amazon.
D.By analysing fossilised pollen in lake mud.
33.What is needed for drilling down into lake sediment?
A.The latest helicopter.
B.The special equipment.
C.The light machinery.
D.The narrow path.
34.What is the purpose of writing the passage?
A.To attract more people’s attention to CO2.
B.To call on people to protect rainforests.
C.To inform people of how scientists work on rainforests.
D.To warn people to stay away from the danger of rainforests.
35.The best title for the text may be .
A.Mystery of the Rainforest
B.Climates of the Amazon
C.The History of the Rainforest
D.Changes of the Rainforest
语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文。关于雨林怎样应对气候变化,人们一直没有找到满意的答案。科学家们采用了不同的方法去检测,但最终仍没有结果。阅读本文,有利于引导学生体会自然文化遗产的魅力,增强学生保护自然文化遗产的意识。
答案及剖析:
32.D 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第三段的第二句可知,研究过去的气候变化,科学家需要看保存在湖泥里的花粉化石。故选D。
33.B 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第三段的第三句可知,回到上一个冰河时代意味着下钻到湖泊里的沉淀物,这需要专门的设备和重型机械。故选B。
34.C 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。这是一篇科普文章,写作目的通常是提供信息。A项是吸引更多人对二氧化碳的注意,和文章无关;B项是号召人们保护雨林,此文不是强调保护雨林;D项是警告人们远离雨林的危险,文章没有讲到雨林的危险。故选C。
35.A 标题归纳题。考查学生理解和概括归纳文章标题的能力。根据第一段内容可知,关于雨林怎样应对气候变化,人们一直没有找到满意的答案,第二、第三段讲述的是科学家采用不同的方法去检测,却没有结果,所以标题“热带雨林之谜”是最恰当的。故选A。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
For serious birders who regularly observe birds in the wild,ignoring climate change isn’t possible.We have been seeing and documenting the effects of a warming climate since at least the 1950s.
36. Glossy black great-tailed grackles (美洲黑羽椋鸟),for example,
previously found primarily in the tropics (热带),first reached southeastern California in 1964.They are now found throughout most of the state.
New research from the National Audubon Society highlights the dangers of the trend.For its new report,“Survival by Degrees”,Audubon scientists analysed the current geographic ranges of 604 North American bird species,and modeled how those ranges would change at different levels of warming.At a global temperature rise of three degrees Celsius,they found that 389 of those species—or nearly two-thirds of those studied—would become endangered,losing much of their current habitat.
37.
Why does this matter to anyone who’s not a bird watcher? For one thing,birds play a crucial role in the ecology,keeping down insect populations and serving as food themselves for larger predators (食肉动物).38. Their shifting ranges warn of increasing droughts,floods,fires,rising seas and unlivable cities.
39. Audubon scientists modeled what would happen at lesser levels of warming,and the results are striking.Limiting warming to 1.5 degrees would reduce the danger for three-quarters of those threatened birds.Audubon’s report “Survival by Degrees” is not a depressing forecast but rather a call to action.It stresses the need for action at every level,by individuals and governments alike,to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
As a lifelong birder,I’m proud of the role my tribe has played in documenting the effects of climate change.When local conditions change,particular types of frogs or wildflowers may decrease and disappear,few will notice.40. I hope people can pay close attention to the urgent message in this new report and work together for solutions.Birds tell us we don’t have time to wait.
A.We still have time to do something about it,however.
B.But they also serve as a visible symbol of broader environmental shifts.
C.This would greatly benefit humans,reducing the potential suffering for people.
D.But when a bird species disappears,we dedicated birders document the change.
E.In recent decades,that has meant a consistent northward shift in where species are found.
F.The changes will make birding exciting,with birders finding new species in unexpected places.
G.Even if some could shift their range northward,they would soon start to run out of room on the map.
语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文。对于经常在野外的严肃的观鸟者来说,忽视气候变化是不可能的。文章说明了在最近的几十年里,鸟类栖息地的迁徙情况以及气候变暖对鸟类的影响,还说明了鸟类的重要性,同时呼吁人们采取行动保护鸟类。阅读本文,有利于培养学生爱护野生动物、保护自然环境的意识。
答案及剖析:
36.E 考查学生理解上下文语义、建立段落内语义连贯的能力。根据本段内容可知,一些物种在不断向北迁徙。E项符合语境,故选E。
37.G 考查学生理解平行和递进语义连贯的具体信息的能力。根据空前一句可知,许多鸟类已经失去了它们大部分栖息地,很快就会没有空间了。G项符合语境,故选G。
38.B 考查学生理解语义转折句的衔接关系的能力。根据空后一句可知,鸟类的迁徙也可以作为环境变化的标志。B项符合语境,故选B。
39.A 考查学生对平行信息之间的衔接关系的理解能力。根据本段内容可知,只要我们采取行动,还有时间去挽救鸟类。A项符合语境,故选A。
40.D 考查学生理解上下文语义、建立段落内语义连贯的能力。根据空前两句可知,作为一名终身观鸟者,作者为自己的部落在记录气候变化影响方面发挥的作用感到自豪。当地情况发生变化时,某些种类的青蛙或野花可能会减少或消失,这很少有人会注意到,但是观鸟者能够注意到鸟类的消失,做好记录。D项符合语境,故选D。

Boyan Slat is 26.If you saw him walking down the street,you might think he was just a student at a local technical university.And so he was,seven years ago,right before he dropped out of college.
Slat’s life began to 41 after a holiday trip to Greece with his family when he was 16.Before taking a diving course,he had 42 to see beautiful sea animals.However,what he 43 saw in the ocean was an awful lot of 44 waste.From that moment on,Slat dived into a project to find a solution to this alarming problem. 45 by the idea for a floating barrier that could collect plastic in the oceans,he founded his company at the age of 18.Although the idea was named one of the best 46 of 2015 by TIME magazine,he received 47 feedback from the specialists in environmental issues.
Slat was not 48 and continued with his mission.After five and a half
years’ hard work,he launched the world’s 49 ocean plastic cleanup system:System 001.The U-shaped pipe,about 609 meters in 50 ,snakes its way out under the Golden Gate Bridge into the Pacific.These floating barriers will capture(捕获)plastic as the ocean water flows past.Ships will collect the waste and bring it to land for 51 every few months.According to Slat,if all goes to plan,only 60 systems could reduce the amount of plastic there by as much as 50 percent by 2025.
52 ,there remains a problem:what will happen to the plastic brought back to shore from Slat’s systems?It’s likely that lots of the waste will 53 be recycled into more single-use plastic that ends up back in the 54 .That doesn’t mean Slat will 55 .“Big problems require big solutions,”he said.“If anyone has any better ideas,I’d love to know.”

[文章脉络]
答案及剖析:
41.A 根据后文内容可知,16岁时,他和家人去了希腊度假之后,他的生活开始改变 (change),他开始潜心研究解决海洋塑料垃圾的方法。故选A。
42.D 根据“Before taking a diving course”可知,他是带着能看到美丽的海洋生物的期待去潜水的。had expected to do sth.意为“(原本)期望做某事”,符合句意。故选D。
43.B 根据句首“However”可知,本句应与前文构成转折关系,实际与期望不同。故选B。
44.C 根据后文“a floating barrier that could collect plastic in the oceans”可知,他在海洋里看到了塑料(plastic)垃圾。故选C。
45.D 根据后文内容可知,通过研究,他应是想到了漂浮屏障是可以收集海洋中的塑料的这个想法。struck意为“使突然想到”。故选D。
46.A 根据语境可知,这是一项最好的发明(inventions)。故选A。
47.C 分析可知,本句为让步状语从句,说明从句与主句之间为转折关系,前文提及了“one of the best”,因此所选形容词应体现其“反义”关系,故选C。
48.A 根据后文“continued with his mission”可知,他并没有因为环保专家的消极反馈而气馁(discouraged),而是继续他的使命。故选A。
49.C 根据后文提及的该海洋塑料清理系统的编号为“System 001”可知,应是世界第一个(first)。故选C。
50.B 根据前文“The U-shaped pipe”可知,这是一个U形管,且后文动词“snakes”意为“蜿蜒行进”,因此“about 609 meters”应是它的长度(length)。故选B。
51.C 根据后文可知,海洋里收集的垃圾会被回收(recycling)。故选C。
52.C 根据语境可知此处与上文之间为转折关系。However意为“然而”,可体现转折关系。故选C。
53.A 根据句意可知,被回收来的塑料垃圾最终(eventually)很可能是被回收、做成单一用途的塑料。故选A。
54.D 根据前文中提及的“back”可知,这些被回收成单一用途的塑料最后还是会回到海洋(oceans)中变成海洋垃圾。故选D。
55.D 根据下文内容可知,面对前文提及的问题,他并没有知难而退,没有放弃(give up)。故选D。

答案及剖析:
56.successfully 考查副词。分析句子结构可知,根据后面的“climbed”可知,此处应用副词来修饰动词,故填successfully。
57.waiting 考查非谓语动词。此处充当介词about的宾语,故填waiting。
58.crowds 考查名词复数。根据前面的形容词“dangerous”可知,此处应用名词形式,crowd意为“人群”,为可数名词,且句子的谓语aren’t为复数形式,故填crowds。
59.to bring 考查非谓语动词。此处表示“所有这些登山者都需要带着大量设备”,故此处用need to do sth.,表示“需要做某事”。
60.tallest 考查形容词的最高级。根据句中的“the world’s”可知,此处表示最高级的含义,故填tallest。
61.that 考查名词性从句。分析句子结构并结合句意可知,此处引导表语从句,引导词在从句中不充当成分,仅起连接作用,故用that引导该从句。
62.have collected 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。根据句中的时间状语“So far”可知,此处应用现在完成时;主语they为复数,故填have collected。
63.a 考查冠词。此处表示“一个更高的目标”,表泛指,故填a。
64.in 考查介词。根据句意可知,此处表示“在尼泊尔的首都”,in表示“在(某范围或空间内的)某一点”,故填in。
65.is 考查时态和主谓一致。根据语境可知,此处为一般性描述,应用一般现在时;该句主语为“Part of the profit from sales”,表示单数概念,故填is。

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。
When I was 17,I read a magazine article about a museum called the McNay Art Museum,once the home of a watercolorist named Marian McNay.She had requested the community to turn it into a museum upon her death.On a sunny Saturday,Sally and I drove over to the museum.
“Do you have the address?” Sally asked while we were on the way.
“No,but I will recognise it.There was a picture in the magazine,” I answered confidently.
“Oh,stop.There it is.” I pulled my car slowly over a house which seemed like a house with heavy smell of life rather than a former residence (故居).
Surprisingly,nobody was at the gate and admission was free.We opened the door and entered,excited.A group of people sitting around a table stopped chatting and stared at us.
A sweet girl in her teens locked her eyes on us and welcomed us with a sweet smile,“Hello,but who are you looking for?”
A man stood up and said almost at the same time.“May I help you?”
“No,” I said.“We’re fine.”
Tour guides got on my nerves.What if they talked a long time about a painting you were not that interested in? Sally had gone upstairs.The people in the hall seemed very confused,keeping their eyes on me with curiosity.What was their problem? Some nice sculptures were well placed along the staircases (楼梯) and some paintings from Van Gogh or Picasso were hung on walls and I appreciated them and highly praised the most beautiful house.Suddenly a picture of a man surrounded by a warm family caught my eyes and I also spotted the sweet girl among them.
“This is the most beautiful house I have visited.” said I,turning sharply,almost scaring the girl standing behind me.
“The most beautiful house? The most beautiful house!”She murmured.
“Am I at the McNay Art Museum?” asked I.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
She smiled,shaking her head.
Paragraph 2:
Years later,after a public speech,a woman approached and thanked me,asking whether I once entered a house, thinking it was the McNay Art Museum.

One possible version:
She smiled,shaking her head.“Sorry,the McNay Art Museum is on another street.”
“What’s this place?” I asked and I was still confused.
“It’s my home,” she said with a sweet smile and her answer shocked me.
Recovering from the shock,I raced to the staircases and called Sally to come down immediately.I pushed her towards the front door,waving at the family and asking them to forgive us for breaking into their beautiful house.Outside,when I told Sally what had happened,she covered her mouth,laughing.
Years later,after a public speech,a woman approached and thanked me,asking whether I once entered a house,thinking it was the McNay Art Museum.“Yes.But how do you know? We never told anyone.”I asked in surprise.
“That was my home.I was the girl saying hello to you in the hall.”I locked my eyes on her and could figure out the familiar sweet smile.She told me she never felt lucky before we came over and she never realised what a beautiful house she once lived in.Her feeling about her home changed after that and she had always wanted to thank me.
