Earlier this month, I paid a visit to Baluran National Park in eastern Java with my family. This park, named after a dead volcano, is the only place in Indonesia that looks like an African savanna (热带草原). Therefore, it is called Africa in Indonesia. You can see deer, large water buffalo, small mice, peacocks, eagles, monkeys and much more animals.
When walking in the park, we really had the feeling that we were in Africa. This was mainly due to its climate. The air was hot and dry rather than warm and wet. It was completely different from what I got used to in Indonesia and I was so surprised.
In the park, you will never get bored because the whole neighborhood is full of monkeys. But thesemonkeys are rude and aggressive (好斗的). Monkeys guarded our house and wanted food. When we didn’t give them food, they would rob us of food. So each of us was offered a stick by the rangers (护林员). They taught us that when the monkeys were too aggressive we must lift the stick. And it worked perfectly.
In the late afternoon, we went for a walk to explore the area. On the way, we saw many species of trees that couldn’t be found anywhere else in Indonesia. Soon the sunset approached so we decided to go back. But darkness fell about halfway through the journey. We only had poor light from our phones. And we heard only the sounds of animals around us. It was possible that hungry animals might come close to us and take us as their dinner. We started to feel scared and quickened our steps. Just when we were about to reach our breaking point, we saw a ranger, who comforted us and led us to safety.
In the evening, we talked with the ranger about his life in Baluran. And after dinner, he invited us to fish with him at sunrise. We really had a great time in the park, and I always look forward to coming back and experiencing all the excitements again.
4．What do we learn about Baluran National Park?
A．It is a great place for wild animals. B．It is located in the middle of Africa.
C．Tourists find its climate very pleasant. D．Tourists usually visit it for its volcano.
5．Why was each member of the author’s family offered a stick?
A．To help them walk easily. B．To drive away unfriendly monkeys.
C．To play games with monkeys. D．To use it to give monkeys food.
6．What made the author and her family quicken their steps?
A．The anxiety to charge their phones. B．The desire to tell the rangers about their adventure.
C．The worry about being robbed at night. D．The fear of being attacked by wild animals.
7．Why does the author write the passage?
A．Encourage people to travel to Indonesia.
B．Give tips on how to visit Baluran National Park.
C．Share her experience at Baluran National Park.
D．Advertise Baluran National Park.

Researchers were interested in the rock iguanas(鬣蜥) on the Exuma Islands which are often fed grapes by tourists. They were curious about how this high-sugar food might have influenced the iguanas’ health. Over the past two decades, the remote islands have seen a big increase in the number of tourists. Just 25 years ago, some of the islands had zero to 20 visitors a day. Now they receive more than 200 tourists each day.
The team collected 48 rock iguanas: 24 from islands that tourists don’t visit and 24 from islands frequently visited by tourists. They collected blood samples and found the iguanas from the islands where tourists frequently fed them had the highest glucose level. The researchers say the findings how possible health issues could affect the iguanas’ long-term survival, which leads to health concerns.
“A visitor to these islands would never doubt that the iguanas were doing fine. They are big, active, and plentiful on islands visited by tourists. These phenomena(现象) are possibly concealing internal health problems that can cause a rapid decrease in population, so we need to watch the activity closely and find out ways to deal with these problems,” said Chuck Knapp, an author of the study.
“We also hope that the finding will lead to a scientific way that also protects people who depend on tourism. Many tour operators show the wildlife to visitors, and our research can be used to inform strategies that area win-win for wildlife and tour operators,” said Knapp.
“The rock iguanas face many threats to their existence, such as loss of habitat and climate change. Many of these threats are very difficult to deal with, but controlling the influence of human activities like feeding is a simple way we can help the species,” says Falon Cartwright, the director of science and policy at Bahamas National Trust.
8．What is mentioned about the rock iguanas on the Exuma Islands?
A．They are short of natural food at present.
B．They are dying out due to tourists’ feeding.
C．They have more contact with humans nowadays.
D．They have a peaceful and free life in their living place.
9．What does the underlined word “concealing” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Examining. B．Hiding. C．Showing. D．Preventing.
10．What’s the meaning of the research finding according to Knapp?
A．It ensures the rapid development of local tourism.
B．It raises public awareness of cutting pollution.
C．It solves the health problems of most rock iguanas.
D．It helps perfect plans for protecting wildlife and tourism.
11．What does Falon Cartwright advise people to do?
A．Find a new home for the iguana species.
B．Offer more food choices to the rock iguanas.
C．Take measures to slowdown climate change.
D．Change human behavior to reduce harm to wildlife.

Bicycle riding has become popular world-wide. Bicycles are typically made of metals such as steel and aluminum(铝), but now there is a company making bikes differently. These bicycles are made from British-grown ash trees by the Welsh furniture maker Andy Dix.
“It’s great to push for more bikes and fewer cars on the road, but the traditional bike industry as a whole is using a large amount of energy,” Dix said. “I’ve always tried to reduce environmental impact in my work. Rather than using metals, or plastic, I’m building bikes from green materials—wood.”
It took two years to build a model bike that was made from the ash tree. Dix tested the wooden bike on the roughest road she could find and discovered that it was comfortable, strong, and excellent at absorbing vibrations (吸收震动) . He put more than 3, 000 miles on the bike. Then he rode a normal bike on broken roads, which would have shaken him to bits, and then the penny dropped. “Not only could I make a bike out of wood, but it had advantages over other materials,” Dix said.
While cutting down trees can add more carbon to the atmosphere to a certain degree，sustainable(可持续的) tree farming is possible, which can balance the needs of the environment and forest communities. And Dix said producing a tonne of aluminum results in 4, 532kg of carbon emissions while producing a tonne of wood only gives out 457kg. Making bicycles out of wood won’t make a huge difference. “We have this material growing naturally all around us. It’s time people started to think about using it,” Dix said.
The cost of a new wooden bike is out of reach for many bicycle riders. But the idea of using sustainable materials like ash trees could start a new cycling change that puts the environment first. Helping the environment could be just a pedal(踏板) away.
12．What do Dix’s words in Paragraph 2tellus?
A．The disadvantages of metal bikes.
B．The process of producing wooden bikes.
C．The changes happening to the bike industry.
D．The driving force for his turning to wooden bikes.
13．Which of the following can best describe Dix’s wooden bike?
A．It is eco-friendly and has an excellent performance.
B．It is consumer-friendly but needs many materials.
C．It is energy-saving but hard to operate.
D．It is well-recognized and affordable.
14．What is probably the author’s attitude towards the wooden bike?
A．Doubtful. B．Positive. C．Worried. D．Unclear.
15．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Bikes made from trees may appear
B．Cycling is a good form of exercise
C．Let’s pay attention to our carbon footprint
D．Let’s challenge ourselves with a wooden bike


二、七选五
Food waste is a major issue in agriculture and in homes. If you grow your own food, the last thing you want is to let your hard work go to waste. 16 It begins with the plants you choose, and goes right to the preservation of the harvests. Here are some tips for you.
When you are planning a food-producing garden, it is very important to choose the right plants for the right places. Waste is far more likely to occur if you are growing plants that are not suited to the climate, the soil, or the growing conditions. 17 Make sure they do not just provide food today, but also can adapt to the changing climate. If you make the right plant choices, you are likely to get a good harvest.
Sometimes cooperation is key. In small gardens in particular, people may often have more seeds than they really need. Seeds are usually only viable (可生长的) for a certain length of time. 18 Some waste may also occur because gardeners plant crop but don’t really have the experience to tend them. Find ways to work together with communities –‒ sharing skills and knowledge.
19 You might, for instance, grow some strawberries inside a greenhouse, with others outdoors. Those grown under cover will typically be ready to harvest a little earlier, and that crop can be out of the way before the outdoor ones are ready. You can also grow different varieties, which mature over different lengths of time.
Once you have grown your crops, it is important to prepare for what needs to be preserved. This can happen in a range of different ways. You need to have the tools and equipment on hand when the time comes. You can freeze, pickle (腌制), or process a wide range of garden produce. 20
A．Arranging different harvest periods for certain crops can help avoid waste.
B．Preventing food waste in the garden is an ongoing process.
C．Many common weeds or flower can be sources of food.
D．These allow you to fully enjoy the fruits of your hard work.
E．By sharing seeds between households, you may lose fewer of them.
F．So think about how you can create good systems in your garden.
G．Communities can come together to harvest crops.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是几条避免造成花园中种植的食物浪费的建议。
16．空前说“If you grow your own food, the last thing you want is to let your hard work go to waste.(如果你自己种植食物，你最不想要的就是让你的辛勤劳动付诸东流。)”，空格处要说要避免种植的食物浪费，空后说“It begins with the plants you choose, and goes right to the preservation of the harvests.(它从你选择的植物开始，一直到保存收成。)”，因此空格处应说避免种植的食物浪费是一个持续的过程，B选项“Preventing food waste in the garden is an ongoing process.(防止花园中的食物浪费是一个持续的过程。)”点明避免食物浪费是一个持续的过程，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选B。
17．空前说“When you are planning a food-producing garden, it is very important to choose the right plants for the right places. Waste is far more likely to occur if you are growing plants that are not suited to the climate, the soil, or the growing conditions.(当你在规划一个可以生产食物的花园时，为正确的地方选择正确的植物是非常重要的。如果你种植的植物不适合气候、土壤或生长条件，浪费就更有可能发生。)”，空格处应说因此要在花园里种正确的植物，也就是创建正确的花园的系统，F选项“So think about how you can create good systems in your garden.(所以想想你如何在你的花园中创造好的系统。)”说明了创造好的系统，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选F。
18．空前说“Sometimes cooperation is key. In small gardens in particular, people may often have more seeds than they really need. Seeds are usually only viable (可生长的) for a certain length of time.(有时候合作是关键。特别是在小花园中，人们的种子往往比他们真正需要的多。种子通常只能存活一段时间。)”，空格处应说为了避免这些种子浪费，要和人合作，也就是可以把这些种子给别人，E选项“By sharing seeds between households, you may lose fewer of them.(通过在家庭之间共享种子，你可能会损失更少的种子。)”说明了和别人分享种子，和前文的“cooperation”相对应，因此E选项承接上文，符合语境，故选E。
19．空格处是本段主题句，空后说“You might, for instance, grow some strawberries inside a greenhouse, with others outdoors. Those grown under cover will typically be ready to harvest a little earlier, and that crop can be out of the way before the outdoor ones are ready. You can also grow different varieties, which mature over different lengths of time.(例如，你可以在温室里种一些草莓，在室外种一些。那些在遮盖下种植的作物通常会提前一点收获，在室外种植的作物准备好之前，这些作物就可以被排除在外了。你也可以种植不同的品种，它们成熟的时间不同。)”，说明本段主要讲的是要想办法让植物收获的时间不一样，A选项“Arranging different harvest periods for certain crops can help avoid waste.(为某些作物安排不同的收获期有助于避免浪费。)”说明了为作物安排不同的收获期，概括了本段内容，可作为主题句，故选A。
20．空前说“You can freeze, pickle (腌制), or process a wide range of garden produce.(你可以冷冻、腌制或加工各种各样的园艺产品。)”，空格处应该说明这么做的好处，D选项“These allow you to fully enjoy the fruits of your hard work.(这些可以让你充分享受努力工作的成果。)”说明了冷冻、腌制或加工各种各样的园艺产品的好处，因此D选项承接上文，符合语境，故选D。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中秋节的起源和节日风俗。
36．考查形容词的最高级。句意：在中秋节这个夜晚，月亮最亮。此处表示最高级，at one’s + 形容词最高级，是形容词最高级的一种特殊表达方式，表示最高程度。通常这一结构置于be动词之后作表语，也可用作状语或定语，故填brightest。
37．考查非谓语动词。句意：朋友和家人通常聚在一起，享受月光和月饼。根据句子结构可知， 此处是作目的状语，表示朋友和家人团聚在一起的目的，所以空处填不定式，故填to enjoy。
38．考查介词。句意：中国人会在农历八月十五聚在一起庆祝水稻丰收。介词for可表目的，故填for。
39．考查定语从句。句意：这是庄稼和水果丰收的时期，天气宜人。根据句子结构可知，空处及之后的内容为定语从句，先行词为the time，关系词在从句中作时间状语，所以用关系副词when，指代前面的the time，故填when。
40．考查名词。句意：如今，节日期间有不同的庆祝活动，还有孩子们喜欢的表演。形容词修饰名词，结合空前形容词different可知，空处用名词复数celebrations，故填celebrations。
41．考查非谓语动词。句意：制作自己的中国纸灯笼也很容易。根据句子结构可知，设空处在句中作主语，表示经常性的动作，所以应用动名词形式，故填making。
42．考查副词。句意：馅料一般由红豆、莲子或蛋黄制成。空处在句中为状语，修饰动词made of，应用副词形式，故填generally。
43．考查时态。句意：自从月饼问世以来，它已经发生了很大的变化，你不再需要坚持传统的口味或馅料。根据后面的时间状语“since they came out”可知空处需用现在完成时态，主语是Moon cakes，谓语动词需用复数形式，故填have changed。
44．考查时态语态。句意：这些产品在亚洲人口众多的世界各地市场都有销售。设空处在句中为谓语，结合上文Nowadays可知，时态为一般现在时。动词offer与主语these为动宾关系，表示被动的动作，应用被动语态。故填are offered。
45．考查冠词。句意：这些产品在亚洲人口众多的世界各地市场都有销售。a large Asian population意为“大量的亚洲人”，此处表示泛指，且large以辅音音节开头，用不定冠词a，故填a。
