阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
When the cat Fluffy disappeared from her home in Navarre,Ohio,her owner spotted her high in a pine tree.Ellen Albert wasn’t immediately concerned because everyone told her that cats always came down when they were hungry.
That was on a Friday.On Sunday,when the white cat showed no sign of leaving and was still high in the tree,Ellen Albert called Erie Valley Fire and Rescue for help with her pet.
“Fluffy was about 40 feet in the air.Too high for the ladders we carry,”Ryan Shanower of Erie Valley Fire and Rescue said.“She was also near some power lines that caused danger.We tried cat food on day two of her being there and hoped by evening she’d be down.High winds and hard rain on day one evening and most of day two made the rescue attempts more difficult.”
Fire Chief Rick Annen told his theory about how the cat ended up so high in the tree.Annen saw hawks(老鹰) sitting on a building across the street and noticed Fluffy’s regular collar and flea collar were both missing.He figured a hawk had picked up Fluffy by the collars and she had gotten free and fallen high in the pine tree.
By day three,the rain had stopped enough,but Fluffy still wouldn’t,or couldn’t,come down.The fire department reached out to a local tree service to see if they’d lend a hand to the frightened cat.They showed up with a bucket truck they use to trim(修剪) tall trees.Once the bucket truck was up in the air,Fluffy was down in a minute or two.
It was a happy ending,for sure,but not a common day’s work for these firefighters.

World Environment Day is celebrated annually on June 5th and was created to inspire people around the globe to take an active part in environmental protection and learn more about ways we can help to guarantee the future of our planet is safe.
The very first World Environment Day took place in 1974,established by the United Nations General Assembly on the first day of the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment that took place in 1972.Each year the United Nations pick a theme and a host city where anyone who is concerned about the environment can talk about environmental topics with others,followed by different kinds of exhibits to promote environmental awareness.Environmentalists,academics and scientists come together to bring new ideas on the table concerning the environment.
The 2018 World Environment Day is hosted by India,and the theme is Beat Plastic Pollution.It urges people to explore and choose supportable alternatives like paper or cloth bags to reduce the production and use of disposable plastic,which makes up 10% of all of the waste.Even though the United Nations pick a specific host city every year,people around the world still celebrate World Environment Day in their hometowns with parades(游行),concerts,cleaning up and tree planting and all kinds of green actions to work towards having a beautiful planet and battling pollution.
World Environment Day is not a public holiday,so you won’t be getting the day off work or school,but if you want to celebrate,why not bring it to the attention of your parents,friends,colleagues or classmates?World Environment Day is all about working together to take action for the planet,so try to get everyone you know interested in helping do something.Things as small as making sure people have a way to recycle can make a difference.You could also try beautifying your neighbourhood by planting gardens,learn about green foods,raise money for a local wildlife conservation group or simply learn about the effects of different products on the earth.
8.Why is World Environment Day set up?
A.To make people know more about nature.
B.To ask people to help to protect the globe.
C.To warn people of the danger of air pollution.
D.To encourage people to plan the earth’s future.
答案:B

9.What do people do on World Environment Day?
A.Decide a host city.
B.Hold a theme party.
C.Discuss environmental ideas.
D.Show some plastic products.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“whereanyonewhoisconcernedabouttheenvironmentcantalkaboutenvironmentaltopicswithothers”以及最后一句可知,人们在这一天可以讨论环境问题。故选C项。

A.High-cost.
B.Poor-quality.
C.Second-hand.
D.Single-use.
答案:D
解析:词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“BeatPlasticPollution”可以看出,2018年的主题是“塑战速决”,再结合画线词前后语境可知,disposable意为“一次性的”。故选D项。
11.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A.Every bit of effort counts.
B.Doing is better than saying.
C.Many hands make light work.
D.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
答案:A
解析:段落大意题。根据最后一段的内容可知,世界环境日不是公共节日,所以人们不放假。但如果你想庆祝的话,可以让你周围的人关注它。所以最后一段主要是讲每个人都可以从身边小事做起,行动起来保护地球,每个人的微小努力都很重要。故选A项。
D
Various animals are respected and even worshipped(崇拜) in different cultures.In Hinduism,for example,cows are valued for their gentle nature.However,in ancient Egypt,crocodiles(鳄鱼) were regarded as living representations of the god Sobek.
During the serious drought in the 15th century,the Mossi were led to an undiscovered pond by the crocodiles.This not only allowed the Mossi to survive,but also led to the founding of the village Bazoulé.
As the villagers owe their survival to the crocodiles,they now care for and live side by side with them.The villagers even bury the crocodiles and hold funerals for them after their death.The crocodiles are not only regarded as protectors of Bazoulé,but also fortune-tellers that give best wishes to the villagers.It seems that the worship of the crocodiles has paid off.For over 70 years,there has never been a death from a crocodile attack in Bazoulé.It’s normal for women to wash their clothes in the water and gather plants nearby.And it is also normal to see children playing around the water where the crocodiles live.
Naturally,this strange relationship between the villagers and crocodiles has attracted a lot of attention.Tourists from all over the world come to the village,hoping to catch sight of this unlikely bond between humans and crocodiles.Visitors have the opportunity to buy a chicken,with which they can attract the crocodiles out of the water.You can pose for pictures,and if you’re brave enough,you can sit on a crocodile’s back just like the local children usually do.
The village is trying to develop its tourism,but unfortunately,it was found to be threatened by global warming.Lower annual rainfall means that the pond will vanish one day.Perhaps the legends are true,and when this happens,the crocodiles will lead the Mossi to a new water source.
12.Why were the Mossi so grateful to the crocodiles?
A.They never did harm to the Mossi.
B.They once happened to help the Mossi.
C.They led the Mossi back to their homes.
D.They provided clean drinking water for the Mossi.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段的内容可知,15世纪,在一次大旱中,摩西人外出寻找水源,跟随鳄鱼找到一个水塘。从此他们便在那里定居并把村庄叫作巴扎。这就是摩西人世代感激鳄鱼的原因。故选B项。
13.What does the author intend to show in paragraph 3?
A.The crocodile attacks cannot cause any death.
B.The villagers get along well with the crocodiles.
C.The crocodiles can bring good luck to the villagers.
D.The crocodiles can protect the villagers from danger.
答案:B
解析:主旨大意题。根据第三段的内容可知,在巴扎村,鳄鱼们死后,人们会埋葬它们并给它们举办葬礼,而且妇女在池塘边洗衣服,小孩在池塘边玩耍都没有危险,所以此段主要是想说明村民们和鳄鱼相处融洽。故选B项。
14.What does the underlined word “vanish” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Move.　　 B.Freeze.
C.Narrow. D.Disappear.
答案:D
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词前面说降雨量减少,后面说鳄鱼可能会带领人们找新的水源可推测,池塘可能会消失。move“移动”;freeze“结冰”;narrow“缩小”;disappear“消失”。故选D项。
15.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.More and more tourists will visit the village.
B.The crocodiles will probably move to a new place.
C.Villagers will take measures to protect the crocodiles.
D.The crocodiles in the village are becoming less and less.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段的最后两句可推测,由于降雨量小,池塘可能会消失,所以鳄鱼有可能会搬走。故选B项。

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。

What does it mean to be green?“Green” is more than just a colour.　16　Why green?Plants are green,and without them the Earth wouldn’t be such a lovely home for us human beings.What can we do?Here’s a four-step guide to being green: 
ReduceIt!
　17　For instance,a shorter shower means you used less water and less fuel since your house uses fuel to run the water heater that warmed up the water. 
ReuseIt!
Sometimes people call ours a “throwaway society”.That means that we’re always throwing away old stuff(东西) and buy new stuff.　18　 For instance,if your baby brother becomes older and loses interest in his plastic basketball hoop(篮圈),why not give it to another family who has a little kid? 
RecycleIt!
Recycling has never been easier.Many communities will pick it up right in front of your house and some towns even require it.Recycled goods should go to a recycling centre,where they can be turned into new cans,bottles,and paper.
EnjoyIt!
It’s true that rubbish and pollution are problems,but the Earth remains a huge and beautiful place that’s ready for you to explore.　19　 Go for a hike,visit local nature centres and gardens,and climb up mountains. 
But before you travel the globe,take a look at your own backyard.Is there a spot where you could plant a tree or put in a little fruit or vegetable garden?　20　 
A.If so,get out there and get your hands dirty.
B.Turn off the water when you’re brushing your teeth.
C.It also means taking special steps to protect the environment.
D.When you use less of something,you do a good thing for the Earth.
E.You can start locally by visiting the naturally beautiful spots in your city.
F.Many times,even if you no longer need something,someone else just might need it.
G.You can watch with pride as your tree takes root and your garden plants grow.

Dear WWF,
There are wetlands in my hometown.And every spring,many birds come to live here,including several rare and endangered ones.With various birds everywhere,my hometown looks very beautiful.However,the birds are being badly affected by our human activities.
The harm to the birds is various.Eggs are often picked up.Worse still,people even catch or poison birds for meat.The size of the wetlands is becoming smaller and smaller due to farming.Pollution from chemical factories is also a big problem.Fewer birds arrive here each year.
I strongly suggest taking action to save the birds.A wetland reserve should be set up to make sure no one shall harm the birds.We human beings should live with birds peacefully and happily.
Yours,
Li Hua

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。续写词数应为150左右。
Once,when I was a teenager,my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus.Finally there was only one family between the ticket counter and us.
This family made a big impression on me.There were eight children,all probably under the age of twelve.You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money.Their clothes were not expensive,but they were clean,the children were well-behaved,all of them standing in line,two-by-two behind their parents,holding hands.They were excitedly talking about the clowns,elephants and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice.One could sense they had never been to the circus before.It promised to be a highlight of their young lives.
The father and mother were at the head of the pack,standing proud as they could be.The mother was holding her husband’s hand,looking up at him as if to say,“You are my knight in shining armor.” He was smiling and responding in pride,looking back at her as if to say “You got that right”.The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted.He proudly responded “please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”
The ticket lady gave the price.The man’s wife let go of his hand,lowered her head and her lips began to shake.The father leaned a little closer and asked,“How much did you say?” The ticket lady again told him the price.The man obviously didn’t have enough money.
How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight children that he didn’t have enough money to take them to the circus?Actually we were not wealthy in any sense,so I understand how the kids would feel.I felt sorry for them.

Seeingwhatwasgoingon,mydadseemedtohaveanidea.Then he picked up the bill and tapped the man on the shoulder and said,“Excuse me,sir,this fell out of your pocket.”The man turned around and saw the money.He knew what was going on,he looked straight into my dad’s eyes,took my dad’s hand in both of his,squeezed tightly onto the $20 bill,and with his lip shaking and a tear running down his cheek,he replied,“Thank you,thank you,sir.This really means a lot to me and my family.”
ThatdaymyfatherandIwentbacktoourcar.We didn’t go to the circus that night,when I asked dad why he did so,Dad said,“My child,it was a desperate,heartbreaking and embarrassing situation for a father.Surely he wasn’t begging for a handout,but he reminded me of my father,when I was young.” He paused for a while,as if wandering in his memory.“We should appreciate what we have obtained from life and seize every opportunity to help others.We didn’t go to the circus tonight,but we didn’t feel sorry for it at all.”
