Ⅱ. 阅读理解

主题：人与自然（自然生态）　话题：火的生态效益　体裁：说明文　建议用时：6＇

A wildfire is a fire that burns strongly and out of control on an area of grass or bushes. They often happen in rural areas and without purpose. The fires start from natural causes, like lightning. Humans can start fires with cigarettes or campfires, accidentally.

Sometimes, people can set fire on purpose. This is to help an ecosystem and those which live there. These are controlled burns. The fires help encourage healthy ecosystems and prevent larger, more damaging wildfires. Modern fire experts now know how to set controlled burns that are well planned and safe.

Why is fire necessary? As dead or decaying plants begin to build up on the ground, they may prevent organisms in the soil from getting nutrients. They may keep animals on the land from getting to the soil. This coating of dead matter can also choke the growth of smaller or new plants.

Whether through natural causes or not, fires remove that layer of decay. The soil gets nutrients from the burned material faster than if it had slowly decayed over time. This allows healthy parts of the ecosystem to thrive.

Some plants actually need fire to continue their life cycles. Seeds from some pine trees grow in pine cones covered in thick sap(树液). The seeds release from the pine cones when fire melts the sap. Fires allow more seeds to get to the soil and grow.

In an ecosystem, native animals and plants have adapted to surviving wildfires. For example, deaths from wildfires are low. They survive by burrowing into the ground or fleeing to safer areas.

Humans are responsible for preventing most uncontrolled wildfires. Nearly 85 percent of wildfires start because of human activities. We have to prevent these damaging fires. Under, standing the benefits of fire is the only way to truly keep our ecosystem safe from its dangers.

1. How does a controlled burn affect an ecosystem?

A. It helps keep wildfires from getting too large.

B. It makes it hard for wild animals to stay alive.

C. It causes large areas of grass to burn strongly.

D. It can create dangerous wildfires in rural areas.

2. What does the underlined word “choke” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Help.  B. Experience.  C. Limit. D. Fuel.

3. Why do pine trees need fire to reproduce?

A. The fire helps the pine trees’ seeds grow fast.

B. The seeds can get out when fires melt the sap.

C. The fire keeps birds away from pine trees’ seeds.

D. The fire provides a source of nutrients for the seeds.

4. What can be the best title for this text?

A. The Causes of Wildfires B. A Healthy Ecosystem

C. Fire Helps Plant Reproduction D. The Ecological Benefits of Fire

Ⅱ. 读后续写

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。

Violet sat on the gym floor waiting for her turn to do somersaults(筋斗). She looked at her little sister angrily, Tilly, across the room. This was Tilly’s first week at gymnastics. Violet had done gymnastics for the past two years. Why couldn’t Tilly find her own thing to do? It was the same at home. Tilly followed Violet everywhere.

 “Violet, you’re up!” called Violet’s instructor, Miss Taylor. Violet came over and pushed off with her legs and straightened her arms. She did one, two, three somersaults. Miss Taylor clapped, “Perfect!”

Violet noticed that Tilly had stepped away from the younger group to watch Violet’s somersaults. “Tilly!” called Tilly’s instructor, Miss Brooke, from across the room. “Your turn to do somersaults.” Tilly walked nervously. She bent down to start a somersault. When she rolled, she fell heavily on the blanket. Kids laughed in surprise at the noise.

Tilly stood uncomfortably and then ran toward the restroom. She was gone from the gym, as Violet had wanted. But it didn’t feel right. After telling Miss Taylor where she was going, Violet hurried to the restroom. She found Tilly crying hard. Violet put an arm around her sister. Tilly cried, “I don’t want to do gymnastics anymore.” This was Violet’s chance. If she said nothing to her sister, Tilly might quit gymnastics forever.

注意：续写词数应为150左右。

But Violet knew how excited Tilly had been about joining in gymnastics. ____________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Seeing a smile on Tilly’s face, Violet said, “What about giving it another try?” ________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

第二部分　能力提升练

Ⅰ. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了经过数周的太空旅行，2020年12月17日凌晨，中国“嫦娥五号”返回器带着月球样本返回地球。

1. advanced　考查形容词。根据空格后space adventure可知，空格处应填形容词来修饰名词短语space adventure，advance的形容词形式为advanced。

2. successfully　考查副词。分析句子结构可知，空格前ended为谓语动词，空格处应用副词来修饰谓语动词，successful的副词形式为successfully。

3. On 考查介词。根据空格后Thursday可知，空格处应填介词搭配Thursday作时间状语。在星期几之前介词用on，放句首时首字母大写。

4. which/that 考查定语从句。分析句子可知，此处为限制性定语从句，空格前the Chang’e-5 mission是先行词，关系词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which或that。

5. first　考查序数词。分析句子可知，空格处应用序数词作定语，修饰后面的名词samples。one为基数词，对应的序数词为first。

6. congratulations　考查名词复数。根据空格前的warm可知，空格处应填名词，congratulation表示“祝贺”时通常用复数形式congratulations。

7. planned　考查动词时态。分析句子可知，空格处应填谓语动词，结合时间状语In 2018可知，空格处应填动词的过去式，plan的过去式为planned。

8. its　考查代词。句意：在2020年11月28日，它进入了月球轨道，完成了收集和带回月球样本的重要的一步。根据空格后way可知，空格处应填形容词性物主代词its作定语，修饰way。

9. giving　考查非谓语动词。根据空格前的介词可知，此处应填动名词作介词的宾语。

10. a　考查冠词。句意：这是充分发挥新型举国体制优势攻坚克难取得的又一重大成就，标志着中国航天向前迈出的一大步。分析句子可知，此处泛指“一大步”，great的读音以辅音音素开头，故填a。

Ⅱ. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了火的生态效益，说明火能够帮助保护生态系统。

1. A　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“有时候，人们会故意放火。这是为了帮助一个生态系统和那些生活在其中的生物。这些是可控燃烧。这些火有助于促进健康的生态系统，防止更大、更具破坏性的野火”可知，可控燃烧有助于防止野火蔓延过大。

2. C　词义猜测题。根据第三段的前三句句意“为什么需要火？当死亡或腐烂的植物开始在地面上堆积时，它们可能会阻止土壤中的有机体获得养分。它们可能会阻止陆地上的动物进入土壤”以及关键词语prevent...from和keep... from可以推断，“这层无生命的物质的覆盖物也会阻止较小植物或新植物的生长”。四个选项中只有limit的意思与choke最接近。

3. B　细节理解题。根据第五段中第三、四句句意“当火融化树液时，种子从松果中释放出来。火可以让更多的种子进入土壤并生长”可知，当火融化树液时，种子会掉落出来，这样植物就能更好地繁殖。

4. D　主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第二段前两句句意“有时候，人们会故意放火。这是为了帮助一个生态系统和那些生活在其中的生物”以及文章最后一段最后一句句意“了解火的好处是真正保护我们的生态系统免受其危害的唯一途径”可知，文章的主题是“火能帮助保护生态系统”，所以D项“火的生态效益”最适合做文章标题。

第三部分　写作练

Ⅰ. One possible version:

Dear Peter,

I’m glad to hear from you. I understand you’re under pressure to communicate in Chinese. I’d like to give you some advice about it.

First, it’s a good choice to make Chinese friends online and talk with them as much as possible on some topics. Besides, you can join a local Chinese club, which will provide you with more face-to-face chances to practise spoken Chinese.

I hope through your efforts you’ll make much progress.

Yours,

Li Hua

Ⅱ. One possible version:

But Violet knew how excited Tilly had been about joining in gymnastics. So Violet decided to cheer her up. Casting a comforting smile at Tilly, Violet helped her sister wipe tears from her cheeks. “You’re better at somersaults than I was on my first day of gymnastics.” Violet explained how embarrassing her first somersault was. Tilly smiled a little and calmed herself down.

  Seeing a smile on Tilly’s face, Violet said, “What about giving it another try?” Tilly smiled a little more. “OK.” Picking up all her courage, Tilly walked back into the gym, where she did much practice and finally succeeded in doing somersaults perfectly under the guidance of Violet. Nobody could feel more on top of the world than Tilly then. Gratitude to her elder sister filled Tilly’s eyes.
