These fires destroy homes and the environment. According to the World Wide Fund for Nature, almost 3 billion animals were killed or lost their homes in the 2019-2020 Australian bushfires. In China, the total number of forest fires every year has increased to more than 2,000, according to The Paper. Unlike other natural disasters, wildfires are most often caused by people. The good news is that this means people can help prevent wildfires, too! How can you help prevent wildfires? Stay fire safe When you start a campfire, clear the area around your fire pit (坑) and circle your pit with rocks. To put out your fire, mix water into the dirt and ash until it’s cool enough to touch. If it’s too hot to touch, it’s too hot to leave. Never light a fire on a windy day Do not use fireworks or firecrackers (爆竹) in forests. Put used matches in a closed container or a cup of water. Stay safe from the flames Use a wet towel to cover your nose and mouth. If there’s water nearby, soak your clothes with it. If you find yourself next to a fire on a mountain, run downhill instead of up. If there are ditches (沟渠), ponds or rivers, you can use these areas to avoid danger. If in a forest, run to the large open spaces where there are fewer trees or less vegetation (植被). (   )26. Which is TRUE about wildfires? A. Cases of wildfires have been decreasing across the world. B. There was no wildfire from 2019 to 2020 in Australia. C. In China, the number of forest fires every year has increased to over 2,000. D. Wildfires are most often caused by animals. (   )27. What bad results of wildfires are mentioned? People lost their money. ② The environment was destroyed. ③ People were killed. ④ Animals lost their homes. A. ①② B. ②④ C. ②③ D. ③④ (   )28. What can you do to stay fire safe? A. Leave when the fire pit is too hot to touch. B. Light a fire on a windy day. C. Use fireworks or firecrackers in forests. D. Put used matches in a closed container or a cup of water. (   )29. What can’t you do when you meet a wildfire? A. Soak your clothes with water. B. Run uphill if you are on a mountain. C. Use ditches, ponds or rivers to avoid danger. D. Run to spaces with less vegetation. (   )30. What’s the purpose of this passage? A. To tell people how to prevent wildfires and keep themselves safe. B. To save animals and help them build new homes. C. To describe the bad effects of wildfires. D. To let more people protect the environment and plant trees. B Being caught in a flood is quite dangerous. Like many other natural disasters, floods can happen with little or no warning. Floodwater moves quickly and it is known to pull trees out of the ground, wash away buildings and cause bridges to come down. Of course, drowning (溺水) is a danger during a flood, not only because there is so much water and it is moving quickly, but also because of what the water is carrying. Pieces of glass, bricks and metal caught in the moving water can hurt anyone in the floodwater, making it more difficult to swim or walk through water. Moreover, floods can cause power cut, traffic jams and wide destruction (毁灭). And the flood itself isn’t the only thing to deal with. The thing after the flood can be just as difficult, because it may not be possible to send basic supplies such as food and drinking water to the area. So how to protect ourselves during the flood? Here are some tips for you: 1. Avoid bridges that cross quickly-moving water, as floodwaters can cause bridges to come down, 2. Listen to the government’s radio for further instructions. If you are told to move to a safer place, do so. 3. Stay inside a car trapped by fast-moving water. Only get out if the water begins to flood the car itself, and then move to the top of the car. 4. Never try to walk, swim or drive through floodwaters. It only takes six inches of moving water to knock a person off their feet. 5. Stay away from  ▲ , as they are often knocked down during strong storms and flooding. They can cause water all around to become charged, leading to people’s death because the power isn’t cut off. After the flood, do not drink water or use it to wash dishes, brush teeth. Drink clean, safe water. If you moved from your home, return to it only after the local government have said it is safe to do so. (   )31. Where does this passage come from? A. A guidebook. B. A movie poster. C. Local newspapers. D. A biology magazine. (   )32. Which of the following doesn’t make drowning a great danger during a flood? A. There is so much water. B. The water is moving very fast. C. The floodwater carries pieces of glass, bricks and metal. D. Some of the people are not good at swimming. (   )33. Which of the following can be put in  ▲ ? A. fallen trees B. power lines C. hard rocks D. broken houses (   )34. What do we know about floods according to the passage? A. After the flood, it is easy for us to send basic supplies to the area. B. Six inches of floodwater isn’t strong enough to knock people down. C. If you are a good swimmer, you can swim across the floodwater safely. D. Floods can cause a lot of problems not only during the flood but also after the flood. (   )35. This passage is written to    . A. tell us what causes the flood B. tell us how dangerous the flood is C. tell us how to prevent floods from happening D. introduce floods’ danger and tips for protecting ourselves 第二节：阅读还原(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。 Enjoy Nature with Foraging (搜寻)! Do you enjoy walking in nature? Do you like learning about trees and plants? 36.    . Foraging is a lot like looking for a treasure. You look around in places like forests and lakes to find different kinds of plants that you can eat. Foraging is a lot of fun. 37.    . Some of these plants are dangerous. Some of them are good to eat. You can spend many relaxing hours walking around in the wild, looking for good plants to eat. 38.    . It is exciting and challenging to find plants that you can eat, but do not eat them until you are very sure of what they are. Before you go foraging, take a class about it. Learn how the different kinds of plants that you can eat look in the wild. Practice finding them with your foraging teacher. Then join a group of foragers. 39.    . Never eat anything until you are 100% sure of what it is. Some people have become sick by accident because they ate a wild plant that was dangerous. Foragers follow some important rules. They do not collect all of the plants in one area. If you take all the plants from one area, no more will grow there. 40.    , like by a road or parking lot. If the area is very dirty, the plants there will not be good to eat and may make you very sick. IV. 词汇运用(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) (A)根据句意及汉语提示，首字母、音标或英文释义写单词。 41. Although the match is moving in an unexpected       (方向), I believe our team will win finally. 42. I always feel n      and forget what to say when I speak in front of the class. 43. When we saw the s      rise from my neighbour’s house, my father celled 119 at once. 44. Luckily, the old woman’s       (state) got well with the doctors’ help. 45. Try to       /ɡes/ the meaning of the new words in the passage. Don’t always look them up in a dictionary. (B)用括号内所给单词的适当形式填空。 46. Suddenly there was a strong wind, and the trees       (shake) outside the window. 47. The heavy rain kept       (beat) against the window and the children were scared. 48. After the snowstorm, the workers were busy       (clear) the snow from the roads. 49. The girl said to       (she), “I’m the prettiest girl in the world.” 50.

V. 根据短文内容，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) A ten-year-old girl saved about one hundred other tourists by warning 51.       (they) that a tsunami, a huge ocean wave, was on its 52.       (way) across the sea.

VI. 阅读短文，填入适当的单词补全文后表格(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)   Until the beginning of July, there has been no rain in northern Italy for over 100 days. Add to that the high temperatures, and the locals get very dry conditions. This has been the most serious dry spell (干旱期) for that area in the past 70 years. Because of this situation, the country’s longest river, the Po River is drying up!   This is bad news for several different reasons. The fresh water of the Po provides drinking water for northern Italy. Besides, farmers in this area need the water of the Po to keep their crops (谷物) growing. What’s more, the flowing river water is used to create about half of the hydroelectric power (水力发电) for Italy. Its drying up means that more natural gas (天然气) will be used, which is bad for the environment.   There have been some interesting discoveries from this lack of rain, however. Between Florence and Milan, a long ship sunk (沉没) in 1943 appeared because of the low water levels of the river. Now many tourists and locals come to see this ship. A German tank has also appeared out of water near Mantua. At other places along the river, people can even walk on the sandy river bed. Although this may be interesting, people in Italy and around the world are hoping for the return of rain to refill the Po!
