Nature has prvided us with many kinds f resurces. It is like a great magician(魔术师), creating wnders n Earth. One f them is the Amazn rainfrest, the wrld’s largest and hme t millins f plants and animals. Nicknamed”the lungs f ur planet”, it prduces abut ne-fifth f Earth’s xygen. Hwever, this wnderful natural wnder is nw in danger.
Thusands f fires have brken ut in Brazil, endangering much f the rainfrest. These flames have lasted several weeks and are believed t be the”mst intense”in almst ten years, accrding t BBC News.
The Amazn has seen a large number f fires in 2019. Between January and August, there were ver 74,000 fires – the highest number since 2013, the BBC reprted.
Frest fires are cmmn during the dry seasn, which runs frm July t Octber. They are usually caused by natural events like lightning. Hwever, mst f the fires this year are believed t be caused by farmers, wh use fire as a traditinal part f trpical agriculture(农业) t clean land, reprted CNN.
“It’s the best time t burn because the plants are dry. Farmers wait fr the dry seasn and they start burning and clearing the areas s that their cattle can have grass,”wrte CNN meterlgist Haley Brink.
The disaster has raised cncern(关注) arund the wrld. The Amazn rainfrest is imprtant fr preventing climate change, said the BBC, absrbing millins f tns f carbn annually. When trees are cut dwn r burned, the rainfrest’s ability t absrb carbn is reduced.
Brazilian climate expert Carls Nbre tld Reuters he’s wrried. If mre than 20 percent f the ecsystem is destryed, the Amazn rainfrest culd reach a”tipping pint (临界点)”, where the thick jungle will turn int a trpical savannah(大草原).
Nbre warned that it is nt far ff, with between 15 and 17 percent f the rainfrest having already been destryed.
The Brazilian gvernment has sent sldiers t fight the fires. Many peple have ffered their supprt and called fr recvery effrts. Fr example, Tim Ck, CEO f Apple, said he wanted t dnate mney and US Actr Lenard DiCapri’s envirnmental charity, Earth Alliance, created a dnatin fund t help deal with the disaster.
The public are als encuraged t dnate t charities cncerned with rainfrest prtectin. “Every little bit helps in a bad situatin like this,”cmmented Gizmd.
8. The underlined wrd”intense”prbably means ______.
A. naturalB. terribleC. cmmnD. unexpected
9. What is the main cause f frest fires in the Amazn rainfrest this year?
A. Lightning.B. Ht weather.
C. Agricultural activities.D. Garbage left by turists.
10. What was Nbre wrried abut in the article?
A. Glbal temperatures will rise.
B. The Amazn rainfrest is clse t disappearing.
C. Animals in the Amazn rainfrest are under threat.
D. It will take tens f years fr the Amazn rainfrest t recver.

【分析】这是一篇说明文。亚马孙雨林是大自然这个魔术师在地球上创造的奇迹，但由于雷电引发的大火、农户为了开拓种植土地而放的火，使雨林遭受破坏，濒临毁灭。巴西政府和许多人已经开始为修复雨林做一些工作。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。画线词前的并列句是These flames have lasted several weeks…，这些大火已经持续了几周了，说明火势的凶险，画线词的主语也是These flames，画线词是来形容这些大火的，选项B：可怕的，切题，故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。第四段中的Hwever, mst f the fires this year are believed t be caused by farmers, wh use fire as a traditinal part f trpical agriculture(农业) t clean land, reprted CNN.然而，据美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）报道，今年大部分的火灾都是由农民引起的，他们利用火作为传统的热带农业方式来清理土地。选项C：农业活动，切题，故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。第七段中的Brazilian climate expert Carls Nbre tld Reuters he’s wrried. If mre than 20 percent f the ecsystem is destryed, the Amazn rainfrest culd reach a tipping pint (临界点), where the thick jungle will turn int a trpical savannah(大草原).Nbre指出如果多于20%的生态系统遭到破坏，亚马孙可能会达到一个临界点。此后，森林会向热带草原转变。第八段中的Nbre warned that it is nt far ff, with between 15 and 17 percent f the rainfrest having already been destryed.目前已经有15%到17%的雨林被摧毁。所以离Nbre所说的后果已经不远了，选项B：亚马孙雨林接近消失，切题，故选B。
【11题详解】
段落大意题。最后两段中的The Brazilian gvernment has sent sldiers t fight the fires. Many peple have ffered their supprt and called fr recvery effrts.巴西政府已派遣士兵灭火。许多人已经提供支持，并呼吁努力修复雨林。还有The public are als encuraged t dnate t charities cncerned with rainfrest prtectin.鼓励公众向有关雨林保护慈善机构捐款。选项A：做出的努力来拯救亚马孙雨林。选项A切题，故选A。
【点睛】阅读理解题中的词义猜测题除了根据上下文中的同义词、近义词、反义词和相关解释进行猜测外，还可以根据句中描写的对象，再根据语境来进行猜测。第1小题要猜测的词intense是来形容大火的，上文写到大火烧了几周了，足见火势凶猛，选项中只有terrible符合语境意义，选定答案。
D
Interactive sftware that “reads” and analyses ftprints left by black rhins (犀牛) can be used t mnitr the mvements f the animals in the wild, giving cnservatinists a new way t keep watch n the endangered species and help keep it safe frm pachers (偷猎者), accrding t a Duke University-led study.
The sftware, called the Ftprint Identificatin Technique (FIT), uses advanced technlgy t analyze mre than 100 measurements f a rhin's ftprint. Because each rhin's ftprint is as special as a human fingerprint, the analyzed images can be cllected electrnically in a glbal database f previusly cllected ftprint images fr matching.
“If yu find a match, yu can identify the individual animal wh left the mark and, by pltting the lcatins f all the ther places where marks have been seen, track its mvements withut disturbing it r cming int clse enugh cntact with it,” said Ze Jewell, a prfessr at Duke University's Nichlas Schl f the Envirnment, wh c-led the study and is c-creatr f FIT.
“It's a cst-effective apprach that nt nly prtects the health f the rhin and the human, but als brings a centuries-ld tracking skill int the 21st Century,” she said. Jewell and her clleagues are nw wrking with Namibia's Ministry f Envirnment, Frestry and Turism t train wildlife cnservatinists, land managers and lcal guides hw t use FIT.
Namibia is hme t an estimated 2,000 black rhins, r abut 90% f the species' ttal ppulatin wrldwide. Thugh legally wned by the gvernment, the animals are distributed gegraphically n private lands acrss the cuntry.
The FIT sftware can als d a survey f ftprints thrughut the prtected area and take measurements frm each ftprint t estimate the number f rhins in that area. This can be useful infrmatin fr calculatin resurce needs t mnitr the animals effectively. This creates an interactive library that anti-paching patrls(反偷猎巡逻)can use t search fr animals at the highest risk, including thse whse ftprints haven’t been shwing up in recent years.
12. What is the purpse f the sftware?
A. T prmte the develpment f technlgy.
B. T prtect black rhins frm being hunted.
C. T analyze the ftprints f illegal pachers.
D. T save endangered species acrss the wrld.
13. What’s the advantage f the sftware?
A. It wns varius functins.B. It ges t the market.
C. It is perfectly practical.D. It is mre than ppular.
14. What des Ze Jewell say abut the apprach?
A. It brings the best advantage fr the lwest cst.
B. It helps increase the ppulatin f black rhins.
C. It raises peple's awareness f the envirnment.
D. It strengthens the tie between humans and nature.
15 Which f the fllwing best describes the future f rhins?
A. Optimistic.B. Hpeless.C. Wrrying.D. Uncertain.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. A

【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第一句““It's a cst-effective apprach that nt nly prtects the health f the rhin and the human, but als brings a centuries-ld tracking skill int the 21st Century,” she said.”（她说：“这是一种成本效益高的方法，不仅能保护犀牛和人类的健康，而且能将一种有几个世纪历史的追踪技术带入21世纪。”）可知，认为Ze Jewell它以最低的成本带来最大的优势。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要对淄博的走红进行了相关介绍。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意：当太阳开始落山时，空气中弥漫着咝咝作响的肉香味，吸引了更多饥饿的顾客。形容词hungry作定语修饰名词custmers，hungry意为“饥饿的”。故填hungry。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意：在夜里，所有酒店也都满负荷运转。in the night固定搭配“在夜里，在夜间”。故填in。
【38题详解】
考查连词。句意：最近在中国社交媒体平台上走红之前，这座城市几乎不为外人所知。分析句子可知，空处缺从属连词连接句子引导时间状语从句，不为人所知是发生在走红之前的动作，用befre。再者nt…until意为“直到……才……”。也可以填写until。故填befre/until。
【39题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：大多数游客都是年轻人，他们在社交平台上分享自己去淄博体验这座城市烧烤文化的经历，吸引了更多的游客。分析句子可知，主系表结构完整的句子，wh引导非限制性定语从句修饰先行词yung peple，空后短语是前句产生的意料之中的结果，attract用现在分词作结果状语，故填attracting。
40题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：淄博烧烤的经典三件套餐包括烤羊肉、大葱和馕，这三者结合在一起，构成了令人垂涎的套餐。分析句子可知，非限制性定语从句中已有谓语make，cmbine是非谓语动词，which指代 rast lamb, green nins, and nan bread，逻辑主语rast lamb, green nins, and nan bread和非谓语动词cmbine之间形成动宾关系，cmbine用过去分词表被动，故填cmbined。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：以前，东北地区的烧烤在全国更受欢迎。副词previusly做状语修饰句子，首字母大写，故填Previusly。
【42题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：淄博突然成名的背后是当地政府的努力和服务，以及当地企业的良好声誉，这些企业得到了游客的好评，他们在网上分享了他们的经历。讲述一般性事实，时态用一般现在时，该句是全部倒装，主语the effrts and services f the lcal gvernment复数，谓语复数形式，故填are。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：淄博突然成名的背后是当地政府的努力和服务，以及当地企业的良好声誉，这些企业得到了游客的好评，他们在网上分享了他们的经历。该空引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是lcal businesses，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，用关系代词which，故填which。
【44题详解】
考查代词。句意：为了推广淄博烧烤，淄博已经推出了24列“烧烤专列”，由当地旅游官员亲自为游客提供服务。fficials亲自为游客服务，反身代词表示他们自己，故填themselves。
【45题详解】

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章中的男孩亨利因为没有和朋友罗尼一起去凑热闹看别人打架，而被罗尼叫做懦夫并且受到了排挤，但亨利知道真正的勇气体现在容忍不该容忍的误解，罗尼的新朋友们也都觉得亨利是个懦夫。几天后，罗尼和新朋友们在河里洗澡时，不小心陷在泥里，他的新朋友们没有帮助他，而亨利在路过时听到了求救声后用尽他的力气帮助了罗尼。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“几天后，在罗尼身上发生了可怕的事情”可知，第一段可描写罗尼遇到的可怕事情，同时承接上文中罗尼交往了一些新朋友的剧情，描写罗尼的新朋友在他遇到可怕事情时候的反应，如新朋友们看到罗尼陷入困境时一个个都赶紧离开。
②由第二段首句内容“就在那时，亨利碰巧经过。”可知，第二段可描写亨利在看到罗尼遭到不好事情时的反应。前文提到罗尼嘲笑亨利是个懦夫，但在这一段可描写亨利的勇敢救人的行为，以形成情节上的转折。
2.续写线索：罗尼陷入困境——朋友逃离现场——亨利及时出手相助——帮助罗尼非常高兴
