Here are three famous ones:1. Mount Qomolangma: It stands in the Himalayas and is the highest mountain in the world, with a height of 8,848.86 meters. Many climbers try to reach its top every year.2. Great Barrier Reef: It lies off the coast of Australia, the largest coral reef system in the world. It is home to thousands of sea animals and plants, making it a popular place for snorkeling and diving.3. Sahara Desert: It covers most of northern Africa, the largest hot desert on Earth. Despite the harsh environment, many special animals and plants can survive there.16．What is Mount Qomolangma famous for?A．Being the largest desert.B．Being the highest mountain.C．Being the largest reef.D．Being the highest waterfall.17．Where is the Great Barrier Reef located?A．In Asia.B．In Africa.C．In Australia.D．In Europe.18．What can we learn about the Sahara Desert?A．It has no living things.B．It’s the largest cold desert.C．It’s in northern Africa.D．It’s the deepest place on Earth.BThe Sahara is the largest hot desert in the world. It covers over nine million square kilometres across North Africa. The weather there can be very different in a day’s time. During the day, temperatures rise above 40℃, while nights can be very cold. It is one of the toughest (艰难的) environments on earth.The Sahara is as big as Canada but has very few people. Less than two and a half million people live there and most of them are nomads. Nomads are people who have no permanent (固定的) homes. They move from place to place, carrying everything they need to live. The nomads of the Sahara are called Bedouin, which means “desert people”. They depend on goats, sheep, and camels for food and transport. Water is the most important for them. They need water to live, so they must carry enough water or know where to find it. Without water, life is impossible.A desert is not defined (定义) by sand but by the lack of rain. To be a desert, a place must get less than 250 mm of rain each year. Surprisingly, only 25% of the Sahara is covered in sand. The rest is rock and gravel (沙砾).Long ago, the Sahara was covered in ice and later turned into grasslands. Over time, it became the desert we see today. Truly, the Sahara is a place of history and change.19．Who is the passage mainly written for?A．Scientists doing research on deserts.B．Middle school students learning about the world.C．Travellers planning to visit the Sahara.D．Historians (历史学家) studying ancient deserts.20．What does the underlined word “nomads” probably mean?A．农耕民族B．渔猎民族C．定居民族D．游牧民族21．Which of the following is TRUE about Bedouin?A．The word means people who love deserts.B．Bedouin use cars and trucks to get around.C．The most important thing for Bedouin is water.D．Life is impossible without goats, sheep and camels.22．What is the passage about?A．Facts about the Sahara.B．The people of the Sahara.C．The weather of the Sahara.D．The history of the Sahara.CThese years, the world has seen more and more natural disasters. Floods sweep through villages, droughts dry up farmlands, and strong storms destroy houses. These disasters bring great harm to people’s lives. Many lose their homes and have to move to safe places. Some even lose their family members. Crops die in the fields, so food becomes hard to get. Schools close, roads break, and people can’t work or study as usual. Clean water also becomes scarce in disaster-hit areas.Why do these disasters happen so often? One main reason is human activities. People cut down too many trees to build houses or make paper. Factories and cars give off dirty smoke and waste water, polluting the air and rivers. We also overuse natural resources (自然资源) like coal and oil. All these actions break nature’s balance. When nature can’t stand it anymore, it fights back with disasters.We must learn to live with nature, not against it. Let’s plant more trees—they can stop floods and keep the air fresh. Save water and energy: turn off lights when leaving rooms, and don’t waste water while washing hands. Protect wild animals, as they help keep ecosystems balanced (生态系统平衡). Use public transport more instead of driving cars to cut pollution.Nature is our only home. If we care for it well, disasters will become fewer. People can live safely and happily for a long time. Small actions from everyone can make a big difference. Let’s work together to keep harmony (和谐) between humans and nature.23．Which natural disasters are mentioned in the passage?A．Earthquakes and wildfires.B．Floods, droughts and storms.C．Tsunamis and snowstorms.D．Landslides and sandstorms.24．What harm do natural disasters bring?A．People’s homes are destroyed.B．More crops grow well.C．People become richer.D．Water becomes more abundant.25．What human activity causes problems for nature according to the passage?A．Planting more trees.B．Cutting down too many trees.C．Saving water and energy.D．Protecting wild animals.26．What can we do to protect nature?A．Drive cars every day.B．Waste water while washing.C．Use public transport more.D．Cut down trees for paper.DClimate change is the biggest threat (威胁) to our planet. As temperatures increase, the ice caps and glaciers (冰川) around the world are starting to melt (融化). This means that sea levels will rise. We are already seeing the results of climate change with an increase in extreme weather events such as hurricanes and wildfires and serious shortage of water. People all over the world are living in difficult conditions. But difficult conditions often inspire creative solutions.Every year the Philippines are hit by typhoons. These violent storms often kill hundreds of people and cause a lot of damage (破坏) to the islands. One company has built a special kind of house that can stand up to strong winds. The houses built in a dome (穹顶) shape and the curved surfaces are much better at surviving storms than traditional flat roofs and walls. They are also better at surviving earthquakes.Wildfires often cause a lot of damage in many places around the world. In 2015, bush fires burned down plants in South Australia. This made the land difficult to farm as strong winds blew the soil away.A farmer called Brian Fischer had a great idea. He ploughed (耕) the fields in spirals (螺旋形). This means that it doesn’t matter which way the wind blows because it can never blow away the soil.A lack of water is also a serious problem. In the Himalayas, water is difficult to find in spring. But the Ice Stupa project has thought of a clever solution. In winter, water is taken from the mountains through a pipe (管道) to the desert. The water comes out like a fountain (喷泉) and freezes into big towers of ice because it’s so cold. In spring, the ice melts and gives farmers the water they need for their land.27．What does Paragraph 1 mainly focus on?A．What solution people come up with.B．What the topic of the passage is.C．How people change the climate.28．What does the underlined word “They” refer to?A．Houses that are designed to stand up to strong winds.B．Violent storms that kill hundreds of people.C．The companies that built houses in a round shape.29．新考向 细节组合 Which of the following extreme weather are mentioned in the passage?①typhoons  ②heavy rain  ③hurricanes  ④wildfires  ⑤thunderA．①③④B．①③⑤C．②③④30．What is the writer’s main purpose?A．To remind people to save water.B．To find results of serious problems.C．To make people come up with smart ideas.第二节 任务型阅读(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下面材料，从方框中所给的A~E五个选项中选出正确选项(其中一项是多余选项)，将其序号填入第1～4小题，并回答第5小题。注意：请将第5小题的答案写在非选择题部分的相应位置。Ways to Improve Your LifeDo you feel that your life is going fast?
