Brn in Belgium n April 4, 1527, Abraham Ortelius is knwn as the inventr f the atlas (地图集). During that time, there was renewed interest in the study f classical antiquity, histry, Greek, and philsphy acrss Western Eurpe.
Ortelius was fnd f new discveries and travel, s he began cllecting bks, prints, paintings, wall maps, and cins frm all ver Eurpe. During ne trip t Pitiers, France, Ortelius met cartgrapher (制图员) Gerard Mercatr, wh inspired him t start prducing maps himself. Ortelius began his career as a map clrist fr the Guild f Saint Luke in Ant- werp in 1547, and then became a map designer at the Plantin cmpany in 1587.
Ortelius’s first atlas was called Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. First printed in 1570, it fea- tured a cllectin f 53 maps, all the same style and size, printed frm metal plates and arranged by cntinent, regin, and state. The atlas was sn gaining tractin. It had t be re- printed 4 times in the first year f publishing. Between 1570 and 1612 the atlas was published in 42 editins in 7 languages.
The Theatrum Orbis Terrarum atlas featured ne f Ortelius’s mst famus maps- Typus Orbis Terrarum. The hand-clred map cvered the entire wrld frm ple t ple, revealing the shape and size f different cntinents. At the time the map was made — much f Nrth America was yet t be explred — s naturally, large parts f the gegraphy were merely theretical. The eastern seabard stuck ut eastward, illustrating the inaccurate measurements f lngitudes (经度) at the time. It’s als interesting t nte that the Mississippi River did nt appear n the map, and there was n sign f the Great Lakes.
Hwever, the map actually cntains sme f the best cllectin wrk f the perid, and represents a huge shift in the histry f mapmaking. It is the hallmark wrld map f the first atlas ever published.
4. What can be inferred abut Ortelius?
A. He was an inspiratin t Mercatr.B. He was a great cllectr f Asian art.
C. He became a map designer at age 20.D. He had a great curisity abut the wrld.
5. What des the underlined wrd “tractin” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Awareness.B. Insight.C. Ppularity.D. Evidence.
6. What was a prblem with Typus Orbis Terrarum?
A. It just cvered the Eurpean cntinent.B. It lacked detail and preciseness.
C. It was black and white in clr.D. It was prly printed.
7. What is the authr’s attitude tward the map?
A. Appreciative.B. Uninterested.C. Critical.D. Wrried.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要介绍了Abraham Ortelius及其绘制的第一本现代地图集《世界概貌》。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Ortelius was fnd f new discveries and travel, s he began cllecting bks, prints, paintings, wall maps, and cins frm all ver Eurpe.(奥特留斯喜欢新发现和旅行，所以他开始从欧洲各地收集书籍、印刷品、绘画、挂图和硬币)”可知，Abraham Ortelius对世界充满了好奇心。故选D。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后的“It had t be re- printed 4 times in the first year f publishing. Between 1570 and 1612 the atlas was published in 42 editins in 7 languages.(在出版的第一年，它不得不重印了4次。1570年至1612年间，该地图集以7种语言出版了42个版本)”可知，这本地图集很快就受到了欢迎。由此可知，划线词tractin意为“受欢迎”。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“At the time the map was made — much f Nrth America was yet t be explred — s naturally, large parts f the gegraphy were merely theretical. The eastern seabard stuck ut eastward, illustrating the inaccurate measurements f lngitudes (经度) at the time. It’s als interesting t nte that the Mississippi River did nt appear n the map, and there was n sign f the Great Lakes.(在地图制作的时候，北美的大部分地区还没有被探索，所以自然地，大部分地理区域只是理论上的。东海岸向东突出，说明当时对经度的测量是不准确的。同样有趣的是，地图上没有密西西比河，也没有五大湖的迹象)”可知，Typus Orbis Terrarium这幅地图不够细化和精准。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Hwever, the map actually cntains sme f the best cllectin wrk f the perid, and represents a huge shift in the histry f mapmaking. It is the hallmark wrld map f the first atlas ever published.(然而，这幅地图实际上包含了该时期一些最好的收集工作，并代表了地图制作史上的一个巨大转变。这是有史以来出版的第一本地图集的标志性世界地图)”可推知，作者对其持赞赏态度。故选A。
C
A large bdy f evidence shws that exercise strengthens ur brains. In studies, active peple generally have mre gray matter. Gray matter is made up f the brain’s essential, wrking neurns(神经元). Fit peple als tend t have healthier white matter, which supprts and cnnects neurns. Partly as a cnsequence f these, exercise is strngly linked with lwer risks f dementia(痴呆) and ther memry prblems with age.
But exercise may increase expsure t air pllutin and previus studies have shwn the ppsite effects f air pllutin n the brain. S, what happens then?
Sme researchers lked at thusands f middle-aged adults frm the UK Bi-bank. The researchers characterized their physical activity patterns depending n the amunt f physical activity cllected frm the devices researchers asked them t wear. They then evaluated air pllutin levels where the peple lived, asked the participants t cmplete brain scans, and finally, cmpared them. Researchers fund that exercise was linked t excellent brain health fr peple in areas with little air pllutin. But the beneficial assciatins almst disappeared fr exercisers living in areas with even mderate(中度的) air pllutin. They had less gray matter and mre unhealthy white matter than peple living and exercising away frm pllutin, even if their wrkuts were similar.
Extending these findings in a fllw-up study, the same scientists fund that the mre peple exercised, the less likely they were t develp dementia ver time—prvided their lcal air was clear. When it was mderately plluted, thugh, they had an increased lng-term risk f dementia, whether they exercised r nt.
These studies increase the urgency fr develping mre-effective regulatins related t air quality. Public plicy culd be used t address peple’s expsure t air pllutin during exercise. Fr example, since a great amunt f air pllutin cmes frm traffic, prmting running r bicycling alng paths far frm heavy traffic may be mre beneficial.
8. What des the authr intend t tell us in the first paragraph?
A. The reasns behind dementia.
B. The benefits f wrkuts n brains.
C. The wrking prcess f ur brains.
D The exercise suitable fr peple with dementia.
9. Why did the researchers ask the participants t wear the devices?
A. T recrd their daily rutine.
B. T mnitr the lcal air quality.
C. T help knw their exercise patterns.
D. T warn them f healthy prblems.
10. What can we learn frm the studies?
A. Memry prblems shuld be cured.
B. The structure f the brain is cmplicated.
C. Peple face many risk factrs fr dementia.
D. Mre rules against air pllutin shuld be made quickly.
11. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Air quality has t be imprved urgently.
B. Mst peple d exercise in a wrng way.
C. Air pllutin may reduce benefits f exercise.
D. Peple with diseases shuld d mre exercise.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要阐述了空气污染可能会降低身体活动对大脑的益处。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句“A large bdy f evidence shws that exercise strengthens ur brains. (大量证据表明，运动可以增强我们的大脑。)”以及最后一句“Partly as a cnsequence f these, exercise is strngly linked with lwer risks f dementia(痴呆) and ther memry prblems with age.(部分由于这些原因，运动与降低痴呆症和其他随年龄增长而出现的记忆问题的风险有着密切的联系。)”可知第一段主要阐述锻炼对大脑的益处。故选B.
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“ The researchers characterized their physical activity patterns depending n the amunt f physical activity cllected frm the devices researchers asked them t wear. (研究人员要求他们佩戴设备，根据设备所收集的运动量来描述他们的身体活动模式。)”可知设备研究人员要求他们佩戴设备是为了了解他们的运动模式。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“When it was mderately plluted, thugh, they had an increased lng-term risk f dementia, whether they exercised r nt.(然而，当环境处于中度污染时，无论他们是否锻炼，他们患痴呆症的长期风险都会增加。)”以及最后一段第一句“These studies increase the urgency fr develping mre-effective regulatins related t air quality. Public plicy culd be used t address peple’s expsure t air pllutin during exercise. (这些研究增加了制定与空气质量有关的更有效法规的紧迫性。公共政策可以用来解决人们在锻炼过程中暴露在空气污染中的问题。)”可知空气污染增加人们患痴呆症的风险，应该尽快制定更多的防止空气污染的规定。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句“A large bdy f evidence shws that exercise strengthens ur brains. (大量证据表明，运动可以增强我们的大脑。)”以及第二段“But exercise may increase expsure t air pllutin and previus studies have shwn the ppsite effects f air pllutin n the brain.(但运动可能会增加暴露在污染的空气中，而之前的研究已经表明，空气污染对大脑有相反的影响。)”可知运动对大脑有益，但是空气污染对大脑有害；结合下文对研究与研究结果的详细阐述，可知文章主要阐述虽然锻炼对大脑有益，但是空气污染对大脑有害，所以C选项“Air pllutin may reduce benefits f exercise.(空气污染可能会降低锻炼的益处。)”能够概括全文，适合做文章标题。故选C。
D
An asterid(小行星)is mving very fast tward Earth, threatening every human being n the planet. Humanity has ne sht t save itself with brave, selfless heres pilting a spacecraft int the universe t destry the asterid.
But that’s the mvies. On Mnday evening, NASA shwed what the reality was like. There was an asterid, but it wasn’t threatening the Earth. And there was a spacecraft, relying n advanced technlgy frm the Earth. The human heres f the missin were actually at a physics and engineering lab between Baltimre and Washingtn, D.C. And there was a cllisin(碰撞). In this case it was the final act f the Duble Asterid Redirectin Test(DART), a spacecraft that was launched in Nvember, 2021 and then raced arund the sun fr 10 mnths as it pursued its target—a small space rck, Dimrphs, seven millin miles frm Earth.
”Fr the first time, humanity has demnstrated the ability t change the rbit f an asterid,“ said Ralph Semmel, directr f the lab. In its last mments, the spacecraft sent back a series f phtgraphs. DART had sptted Dimrphs nly an hur earlier, as a dt f light. Then, Dimrphs grew bigger and bigger, until its surface filled the screen. The engineers were n their feet, cheering. ”Nrmally, lsing signal frm the spacecraft is very bad,“ Semmel said. ”But this time, it was the ideal utcme.“
With mvies like ”Deep Impact“, Hllywd has lng been enthusiastic abut the prspect f disaster raining dwn frm the universe. ”In reality, big asterids that wuld cause planet-wide destructin ccur very rarely, nce every 10 millin years r s. Hence, planners at NASA and elsewhere devte their attentin t smaller nes in space, which wuld nt set ff mass extinctins, but can release mre energy than a nuclear bmb. If any f thse asterids turns ut t be n a cllisin curse with Earth, the DART missin shws that changing its rbit is a realistic pssibility.
12. What’s paragraph 1 describing?
A. A mvie plt.B. A natural disaster.
C. A witness accunt.D. A virtual experiment.
13. What’s the missin f DART?
A. Racing arund the sun.B. Tracking asterids in space.
C. Changing the rbit f Dimrphs.D. Establishing a permanent space lab.
14. Why were the engineers cheering?
A. They btained clear desired phts.B. They made a safe landing frm space.
C. DART crashed Dimrphs int pieces.D. DART cmpleted its missin successfully.
15. What’s the significance f the DART missin?
A. Preventing the earth frm being destryed.
B Prviding a slutin t an asterid impact.
C. Fueling peple’s interest in Hllywd mvies.
D. Increasing chances f humans ging int space.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。短文介绍了人类第一次展示了改变小行星轨道的能力，DART为小行星撞击提供解决方案。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“An asterid(小行星)is mving very fast tward Earth, threatening every human being n the planet. Humanity has ne sht t save itself with brave, selfless heres pilting a spacecraft int the universe t destry the asterid.”（一颗小行星正快速向地球移动，威胁着地球上的每一个人。人类只有一次拯救自己的机会，勇敢无私的英雄驾驶宇宙飞船进入宇宙，摧毁小行星。）以及第二段“But that’s the mvies.”（但那是电影）可知，第一段描写的是电影情节。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Fr the first time, humanity has demnstrated the ability t change the rbit f an asterid,“ said Ralph Semmel, directr f the lab.”（实验室主任拉尔夫·塞梅尔说：“人类首次展示了改变小行星轨道的能力）可知，DART的任务是改变Dimrphs的轨道。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“DART had sptted Dimrphs nly an hur earlier, as a dt f light. Then, Dimrphs grew bigger and bigger, until its surface filled the screen. The engineers were n their feet, cheering. ”Nrmally, lsing signal frm the spacecraft is very bad,“ Semmel said. ”But this time, it was the ideal utcme.“”（DART仅在一小时前发现了Dimrphs，就像一个光点。然后，Dimmrphs变得越来越大，直到它的表面填满了屏幕。工程师们站起来欢呼。”塞梅尔说：“通常情况下，失去航天器的信号是非常糟糕的。但这一次，这是一个理想的结果”）可知，工程师们欢呼是因为DART成功完成了任务。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“If any f thse asterids turns ut t be n a cllisin curse with Earth, the DART missin shws that changing its rbit is a realistic pssibility.”（如果这些小行星中的任何一颗与地球发生碰撞，DART任务表明改变其轨道是一种现实的可能性。）可知，DART任务的意义是为小行星撞击提供解决方案。故选B项。

47. I met the Man f the Trees in summer ten years ag, when I was visiting Uncle Jita.
Thse were difficult times. Peple were cutting dwn ur frest, and there was ften flding. Smetimes ur water supply was dirty. When ur pump(水泵)did have clean water, we had t wait in line fr ages. When the pump wasn’t wrking, we had t walk five kilmetres t the clsest stream.
But I was happy. I was ging t see my favrite uncle. When the day finally arrived, Dad drve me t Uncle Jita’s huse and left. Once he saw me, Uncle Jita annunced, “Tmrrw we’re ging t explre a magical place. Here is my camera, Amy. Yu can take phts f what yu see.”
The fllwing day, we wke up and left early n a bat. The trip was exciting. But when we gt ff, there was ... nthing in frnt f us. “I dn’t want t take pictures f this,” I cmplained.
Uncle laughed,“Start walking, Amy. I prmise yu’ll be surprised.” After sme time, I culd see the utline f a frest in the distance. A little clser, there was a man waving t us.
“That’s Kabir. The frest yu see is his. He planted every single tree.” As we walked twards Kabir, Uncle explained that thirty years ag, the whle area was a wasteland. But ne day Kabir decided t change all that and started planting trees. Thanks t him, part f the wasteland is nw a paradise(天堂).
Uncle intrduced me t Kabir, wh had gray hair and a determined face. “Jita tld me yu like animals. Are yu ready t see sme?” he asked. “Of curse!” I replied. We cntinued walking and sn were under the trees. I turned my head and was amazed at the difference between the tw places. All because f the effrts f ne man.
Like Uncle said, Kabir’s frest was magical. We saw deer, rhins, and even tigers. During lunchtime, Kabir explained hw, by planting trees, it was pssible t stp the land frm erding(侵蚀).

【答案】Hearing this, I turned t my uncle, “I think we can plant trees t.” Grabbing the camera in my hand, I added with excitement. “I’ve gt a plan! I’ll shw them the phts f Kabir’s magical frest! ” Seeing Uncle and Kabir’s encuraging smile, I immediately set dwn t my wrk, busily pressing my shutter and capturing the amazing scenes in the frest. When Uncle and I went back t the village several days later and shwed these wnderful pictures t my neighbur, they were stunned by the beauty f the frest. “It was the trees that turned the place int a paradise! ” We then explained ur tree-planting plan t the villagers, which was quickly accepted by all f them.
In the years that fllwed, peple in ur village wrked hard t carry ut ur plan. Instead f cutting dwn ur frest, we started t plant trees, which has eventually helped prtect the sil and stpped the land frm erding. Thanks t the trees, the water has been purified and we finally have clean and stable water supply. With ur jint September 2023 - March 2024

Brn in Belgium n April 4, 1527, Abraham Ortelius is knwn as the inventr f the atlas (地图集). During that time, there was renewed interest in the study f classical antiquity, histry, Greek, and philsphy acrss Western Eurpe.
Ortelius was fnd f new discveries and travel, s he began cllecting bks, prints, paintings, wall maps, and cins frm all ver Eurpe. During ne trip t Pitiers, France, Ortelius met cartgrapher (制图员) Gerard Mercatr, wh inspired him t start prducing maps himself. Ortelius began his career as a map clrist fr the Guild f Saint Luke in Ant- werp in 1547, and then became a map designer at the Plantin cmpany in 1587.
Ortelius’s first atlas was called Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. First printed in 1570, it fea- tured a cllectin f 53 maps, all the same style and size, printed frm metal plates and arranged by cntinent, regin, and state. The atlas was sn gaining tractin. It had t be re- printed 4 times in the first year f publishing. Between 1570 and 1612 the atlas was published in 42 editins in 7 languages.

A large bdy f evidence shws that exercise strengthens ur brains. In studies, active peple generally have mre gray matter. Gray matter is made up f the brain’s essential, wrking neurns(神经元). Fit peple als tend t have healthier white matter, which supprts and cnnects neurns. Partly as a cnsequence f these, exercise is strngly linked with lwer risks f dementia(痴呆) and ther memry prblems with age.
But exercise may increase expsure t air pllutin and previus studies have shwn the ppsite effects f air pllutin n the brain. S, what happens then?
Sme researchers lked at thusands f middle-aged adults frm the UK Bi-bank. The researchers characterized their physical activity patterns depending n the amunt f physical activity cllected frm the devices researchers asked them t wear. They then evaluated air pllutin levels where the peple lived, asked the participants t cmplete brain scans, and finally, cmpared them. Researchers fund that exercise was linked t excellent brain health fr peple in areas with little air pllutin. But the beneficial assciatins almst disappeared fr exercisers living in areas with even mderate(中度的) air pllutin. They had less gray matter and mre unhealthy white matter than peple living and exercising away frm pllutin, even if their wrkuts were similar.
Extending these findings in a fllw-up study, the same scientists fund that the mre peple exercised, the less likely they were t develp dementia ver time—prvided their lcal air was clear. When it was mderately plluted, thugh, they had an increased lng-term risk f dementia, whether they exercised r nt.
These studies increase the urgency fr develping mre-effective regulatins related t air quality. Public plicy culd be used t address peple’s expsure t air pllutin during exercise. Fr example, since a great amunt f air pllutin cmes frm traffic, prmting running r bicycling alng paths far frm heavy traffic may be mre beneficial.
8. What des the authr intend t tell us in the first paragraph?
A. The reasns behind dementia.
B. The benefits f wrkuts n brains.
C. The wrking prcess f ur brains.
D The exercise suitable fr peple with dementia.
9. Why did the researchers ask the participants t wear the devices?
A. T recrd their daily rutine.
B. T mnitr the lcal air quality.
C. T help knw their exercise patterns.
D. T warn them f healthy prblems.
10. What can we learn frm the studies?
A. Memry prblems shuld be cured.
B. The structure f the brain is cmplicated.
C. Peple face many risk factrs fr dementia.
D. Mre rules against air pllutin shuld be made quickly.
11. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Air quality has t be imprved urgently.
B. Mst peple d exercise in a wrng way.
C. Air pllutin may reduce benefits f exercise.
D. Peple with diseases shuld d mre exercise.

细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“ The researchers characterized their physical activity patterns depending n the amunt f physical activity cllected frm the devices researchers asked them t wear. (研究人员要求他们佩戴设备，根据设备所收集的运动量来描述他们的身体活动模式。)”可知设备研究人员要求他们佩戴设备是为了了解他们的运动模式。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“When it was mderately plluted, thugh, they had an increased lng-term risk f dementia, whether they exercised r nt.(然而，当环境处于中度污染时，无论他们是否锻炼，他们患痴呆症的长期风险都会增加。)”以及最后一段第一句“These studies increase the urgency fr develping mre-effective regulatins related t air quality. Public plicy culd be used t address peple’s expsure t air pllutin during exercise. (这些研究增加了制定与空气质量有关的更有效法规的紧迫性。公共政策可以用来解决人们在锻炼过程中暴露在空气污染中的问题。)”可知空气污染增加人们患痴呆症的风险，应该尽快制定更多的防止空气污染的规定。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句“A large bdy f evidence shws that exercise strengthens ur brains. (大量证据表明，运动可以增强我们的大脑。)”以及第二段“But exercise may increase expsure t air pllutin and previus studies have shwn the ppsite effects f air pllutin n the brain.(但运动可能会增加暴露在污染的空气中，而之前的研究已经表明，空气污染对大脑有相反的影响。)”可知运动对大脑有益，但是空气污染对大脑有害；结合下文对研究与研究结果的详细阐述，可知文章主要阐述虽然锻炼对大脑有益，但是空气污染对大脑有害，所以C选项“Air pllutin may reduce benefits f exercise.(空气污染可能会降低锻炼的益处。)”能够概括全文，适合做文章标题。故选C。

An asterid(小行星)is mving very fast tward Earth, threatening every human being n the planet. Humanity has ne sht t save itself with brave, selfless heres pilting a spacecraft int the universe t destry the asterid.
But that’s the mvies. On Mnday evening, NASA shwed what the reality was like. There was an asterid, but it wasn’t threatening the Earth. And there was a spacecraft, relying n advanced technlgy frm the Earth. The human heres f the missin were actually at a physics and engineering lab between Baltimre and Washingtn, D.C. And there was a cllisin(碰撞). In this case it was the final act f the Duble Asterid Redirectin Test(DART), a spacecraft that was launched in Nvember, 2021 and then raced arund the sun fr 10 mnths as it pursued its target—a small space rck, Dimrphs, seven millin miles frm Earth.
”Fr the first time, humanity has demnstrated the ability t change the rbit f an asterid,“ said Ralph Semmel, directr f the lab. In its last mments, the spacecraft sent back a series f phtgraphs. DART had sptted Dimrphs nly an hur earlier, as a dt f light. Then, Dimrphs grew bigger and bigger, until its surface filled the screen. The engineers were n their feet, cheering. ”Nrmally, lsing signal frm the spacecraft is very bad,“ Semmel said. ”But this time, it was the ideal utcme.“
With mvies like ”Deep Impact“, Hllywd has lng been enthusiastic abut the prspect f disaster raining dwn frm the universe. ”In reality, big asterids that wuld cause planet-wide destructin ccur very rarely, nce every 10 millin years r s. Hence, planners at NASA and elsewhere devte their attentin t smaller nes in space, which wuld nt set ff mass extinctins, but can release mre energy than a nuclear bmb. If any f thse asterids turns ut t be n a cllisin curse with Earth, the DART missin shws that changing its rbit is a realistic pssibility.
12. What’s paragraph 1 describing?
A. A mvie plt.B. A natural disaster.
C. A witness accunt.D. A virtual experiment.
13. What’s the missin f DART?
A. Racing arund the sun.B. Tracking asterids in space.
C. Changing the rbit f Dimrphs.D. Establishing a permanent space lab.
14. Why were the engineers cheering?
A. They btained clear desired phts.B. They made a safe landing frm space.
C. DART crashed Dimrphs int pieces.D. DART cmpleted its missin successfully.
15. What’s the significance f the DART missin?
A. Preventing the earth frm being destryed.
B Prviding a slutin t an asterid impact.
C. Fueling peple’s interest in Hllywd mvies.
D. Increasing chances f humans ging int space.

【43题详解】
考查语态。句意：绿色和平组织批评了日本的计划，并认为还有其他应该考虑的解决方法。此处为that引导的定语从句的谓语动词，that指代先行词slutins，slutins与cnsider为被动关系，且空前有情态动词shuld，故填be cnsidered。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：他们宁愿选择最便宜的方法，将废水排到太平洋里，而不愿从长远来看，使用最好的技术来保存和处理废水。此处意为“而不是”，表达为rather than，故填Rather。

47. I met the Man f the Trees in summer ten years ag, when I was visiting Uncle Jita.
Thse were difficult times. Peple were cutting dwn ur frest, and there was ften flding. Smetimes ur water supply was dirty. When ur pump(水泵)did have clean water, we had t wait in line fr ages. When the pump wasn’t wrking, we had t walk five kilmetres t the clsest stream.
But I was happy. I was ging t see my favrite uncle. When the day finally arrived, Dad drve me t Uncle Jita’s huse and left. Once he saw me, Uncle Jita annunced, “Tmrrw we’re ging t explre a magical place. Here is my camera, Amy. Yu can take phts f what yu see.”
The fllwing day, we wke up and left early n a bat. The trip was exciting. But when we gt ff, there was ... nthing in frnt f us. “I dn’t want t take pictures f this,” I cmplained.
Uncle laughed,“Start walking, Amy. I prmise yu’ll be surprised.” After sme time, I culd see the utline f a frest in the distance. A little clser, there was a man waving t us.
“That’s Kabir. The frest yu see is his. He planted every single tree.” As we walked twards Kabir, Uncle explained that thirty years ag, the whle area was a wasteland. But ne day Kabir decided t change all that and started planting trees. Thanks t him, part f the wasteland is nw a paradise(天堂).
Uncle intrduced me t Kabir, wh had gray hair and a determined face. “Jita tld me yu like animals. Are yu ready t see sme?” he asked. “Of curse!” I replied. We cntinued walking and sn were under the trees. I turned my head and was amazed at the difference between the tw places. All because f the effrts f ne man.
Like Uncle said, Kabir’s frest was magical. We saw deer, rhins, and even tigers. During lunchtime, Kabir explained hw, by planting trees, it was pssible t stp the land frm erding(侵蚀).

【答案】Hearing this, I turned t my uncle, “I think we can plant trees t.” Grabbing the camera in my hand, I added with excitement. “I’ve gt a plan! I’ll shw them the phts f Kabir’s magical frest! ” Seeing Uncle and Kabir’s encuraging smile, I immediately set dwn t my wrk, busily pressing my shutter and capturing the amazing scenes in the frest. When Uncle and I went back t the village several days later and shwed these wnderful pictures t my neighbur, they were stunned by the beauty f the frest. “It was the trees that turned the place int a paradise! ” We then explained ur tree-planting plan t the villagers, which was quickly accepted by all f them.
In the years that fllwed, peple in ur village wrked hard t carry ut ur plan. Instead f cutting dwn ur frest, we started t plant trees, which has eventually helped prtect the sil and stpped the land frm erding. Thanks t the trees, the water has been purified and we finally have clean and stable water supply. With ur jint September 2023 - March 2024
