They make us happier and healthier, but scientists have found that they can also harm the environment in some ways. One main trouble is dog waste. Unlike wild animals that live on natural food, pet dogs eat processed food, so their waste can pollute soil and water. When left on the ground, dog poop (排泄物) washes into rivers during rains, spreading something harmful to the environment. In cities, dog waste is one of the top causes of water pollution. In some natural areas, dogs also cause problems. Studies show that when dogs walk through forests, the number of birds and small animals becomes smaller. The smell and sounds of dogs can make wild animals avoid these areas. Some even leave their babies behind. In countries like Australia, pet dogs have hurt or killed local animals, including rare penguins (企鹅). This is bad for nature because many plants need these animals to help them grow and spread their seeds (种子). There are over 700 million pet dogs worldwide, and their large numbers are making things worse. The problem isn’t dogs themselves, but how people look after them without thinking about nature. Since dogs will always be our important family, we need to find ways to enjoy the time with them while also protecting the environment. Simple actions like cleaning up after our pets and keeping them away from special natural areas can make a big difference. Since we share the earth with many other living things, it’s our responsibility (责任) to keep it safe for everyone.14．What does the underlined word “processed” probably mean in Paragraph 2?A．Found in nature. B．Freshly cooked. C．Made in factories. D．prepared at home.15．What happens when dogs walk through forests?A．They help plants spread their seeds.B．Dogs kill some wild animals for food.C．Birds and small animals become more active.D．Wild animals are afraid of dogs and they run away or hide.16．What is mentioned in the passage about dogs and the environment?A．Dogs can help protect nature in some ways.B．Dogs sometimes leave their babies behind in natural areas.C．Dog waste washes into rivers and pollutes water when it rains.D．It’s hard for dog owners to take action to protect the environment.17．What is the writer’s attitude (态度) towards keeping dogs as pets?A．Strongly disagree. B．Supportive but careful.C．Not interested. D．Fully agree.C“Come and play with me,” the little prince suggested. “I am so unhappy.” “I cannot play with you,” the fox said, “I am not tamed.”“Ah! Please excuse me,” said the little prince. But after some thought, he added: “What does ‘tame’ mean?”“It means to set up ties,” said the fox. “To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy...But if you tame me, we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique (独一无二的) in all the world.”“Please tame me!” said the fox. “You must be patient. Sit down a little distance from me, like this, in the grass. I will watch you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the cause of misunderstandings. But each day, you may sit a little closer…”The next day the prince returned. “It would have been better to come at the same hour,” said the fox. “If you come at four o’clock, I shall begin to be happy by three. The more time passes, the happier I’ll feel. But if you come at any random (随意的) time, I’ll never know when to prepare my heart.”So the little prince tamed the fox. And when it’s time to leave...“Ah,” said the fox, “I shall cry.”“It is your own fault,” said the prince, “I never wished you harm, but you wanted me to tame you.”“Yes,” said the fox, “But now, look at the golden wheat fields. They will remind (想起) me of your hair. And I shall love the sound of the wind in the wheat...”Then he added, “Go and look again at the roses. You’ll understand yours is unique. Remember: Real importance is unseen.”—Adapted from Little Prince18．What does the word “tame” mean in the passage?A．To play games together.

Travel companies like Conde Nast Traveller and Booking.com have shared their 2025 travel trends predictions (预测). As noted by Booking.com, those trends show how people want to find meaningful experiences from each trip they take.Noctourism The word “noctourism” comes from the words “nocturnal” and “tourism”. When taking part in noctourism, tourists can do various exciting things. For example, some love to attend open-air concerts under the starry sky. Others choose to take a boat ride on the river to enjoy the peaceful views. The city’s lights are reflected on the water, making it a truly beautiful sight. In some African wildlife reserves, nocturnal safaris are offered. Visitors can take a jeep tour to watch animals such as leopards, hyenas, and bush babies that are active after dark. Passports to living longerTrying to live forever might be going a little too far. But our interest in living longer and healthier still stays strong. In 2025, more people will plan their trips around activities that help them live longer, according to Booking.com. For example, people will go to places that offer red light therapy to visitors. The therapy uses red light to help make skin look better. Studies show that connecting with others makes people healthier, so many travel locations have introduced activities like group hikes. In the future, travel won’t just be about having fun. People will also care more about staying healthy, Booking.com said.Smaller and less famousSometimes, when you are traveling, going a different way and finding cool places can be fun. Detour (绕道) travel means going to smaller, less famous places close to the main sites and spending time there. For example, the city of Reims is a popular detour from Paris. Tom Barber, co-founder of the travel company Original Travel, told Conde Nast Traveller that in Europe, rail travel makes taking detours easy. This is because once you start looking at a train timetable, you find there are so many interesting little stops you could take.22．What does the subtitle “Noctourism” mean?A．Watching wild animals. B．Travelling at night.C．Enjoying peaceful views. D．Visiting strange places.23．Which of the following is an example of detour travel?A．Spending more time planning each trip.B．Visiting small towns around a famous city.C．Getting off at every stop of the train to visit.D．Having a rail trip to famous places in Europe.24．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A．Group hikes can help people stay healthy.B．People don’t like travelling in Africa in 2025.C．Red light therapy can make people live longer.D．Rail travel makes detour travel difficult in Europe.25．What is the best title for the passage?A．Helpful Travel Plans for 2025. B．New Styles in Travelling.C．Meaningful Travel Experiences. D．Good Points of Travelling.三、信息还原 (本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分)阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的7个选项中选出5个能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。A carbon footprint (碳足迹) is the total number of greenhouse gases (温室气体) that are produced by our actions. A person’s carbon footprint in the United States is 16 tons, one of the highest in the world. To avoid a 2℃ rise in earth’s temperatures, the carbon footprint per year needs to drop to under 2 tons by 2050. 26 So here are some simple steps we can take to help. Look at what you’re eatingEating more vegetables and fruits and less meat is surely good for our environment. 27 Eating less meat can reduce your carbon footprint by up to 500 kilograms of CO2 per year. Save energy at homeMuch of the home energy are powered by coal, oil and gas. Try to use less energy by washing your clothes with cold water. 28 For example, you can put in solar panels (太阳能板) to collect energy from the sun for your home. Walk, bike or take public transportThe world’s roadways are full of traffic, and most of them are polluting the air. Walking or riding a bike instead of driving will reduce greenhouse gas. 29 For longer trips, choosing public transport will be better.

To properly recycle a plastic bottle, for example, we should pour out anything in the bottle and flatten (压平) the bottle before putting the cap back on and throwing it in the recycling bin. But that’s nothing compared to (与……相比) the recycling efforts of people in Kamikatsu, a village in southwestern Japan. The 1,500 villagers there are on a path to a zero-waste life.The Zero Waste Centre is Kamikatsu’s recycling facility (场所). There, the villagers separate their waste into 45 groups—there are nine groups for paper products alone. They clean and dry dirty items to make them ready for recycling.The village runs a reward system (奖励制度). People can collect recycling points in exchange for environmentally friendly products. There are signs that show what new items will be made from the recyclables. The village often reports how much money it has saved by working with recycling companies rather than burning all the waste.Next to the Zero Waste Centre is a special shop. There villagers can drop off items they don’t want any more, and others can take them home. This past January alone, about 450 kilograms of items were re-homed. The number is shown in the shop.In 2020, Hotel Why opened its door to the public. It is built in the shape of a question mark as if it was asking, “Why do we create so much waste?” At check-in, guests cut bars of soap to get just the amount of what they need for their stay. Each of them is given six bins to separate their waste. We can learn from the villagers of Kamikatsu. Many of their practices can be introduced into large cities to make our world a green place.51．Why do the villagers in Kamikatsu recycle waste? 52．How many groups do they separate paper products into? 53．How do they encourage the villagers to recycle waste? 54．Where do the villagers put their items they don’t want? 55．Do you think it necessary to recycle waste? Why or why not?
