Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Accompanied by his fish hawks (鱼鹰) in a small boat，Song Shuzhi set out in the early morning to fish in Mata Lake，Huantai county in Shandong province.On this occasion，the birds brought in nearly 25 kilograms of fish.“I can get more than 100 yuan from today’s harvest，” the 70－year－old man said.“They did a good job.”

To reward his feathered friends，Song untied the nooses (套索) from around their necks and allowed them to fly back to the lake to catch their own breakfast.“The noose prevents them from swallowing the fish they catch while they are working，” he said.About 20 minutes after setting them loose，Song called the fish hawks back to his boat using a special signal that he has developed.
Song lives in the village near Mata Lake.Three decades ago，almost every family in his village fished with fish hawks.“Our family has fished with fish hawks for at least 100 years.But as the fish decreased and young people left to work outside of our village，fishing with fish hawks has almost disappeared.”
Song quitted fishing for a few years during the 1990s due to serious pollution of the lake.Since 2012，the local government has spent 430 million yuan restoring the ecology of Mata Lake and it has regained its vitality (生机) once more.
Fish hawks can live for up to 25 years and Song thinks of his birds as his children.“It’s hard to raise fish hawks.Young people like jobs in cities where they can earn much more than they could by fishing，” he said.“I will fish with my fish hawks for as long as I can.It is a technique my ancestors handed down to me and it doesn’t produce any pollution.”
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。山东老人坚持用鱼鹰捕鱼，传承祖先留下的技艺。
1．How did Song Shuzhi reward his fish hawks?
A．He let them be free for some days.
B．He gave them some fish they had caught.
C．He allowed them to catch fish for their own.
D．He destroyed the nooses around their necks.
答案　C　[细节理解题。根据第二段“To reward his feathered friends...their own breakfast.”可知，为了奖励鱼鹰，Song解开鱼鹰脖子上的套索让它们可以飞回湖中捕鱼自己吃。]
2．What can we know from the passage?
A．It’s very difficult to fish with fish hawks.
B．It is not permitted to raise fish hawks now.
C．Young people can hardly survive by fishing.
D．Few people fish with fish hawks now in Mata Lake.
答案　D　[细节理解题。 根据第三段“But as the fish decreased...has almost disappeared.”可知，随着湖里鱼的减少以及年轻人离开村子去城里工作，几乎没有人用鱼鹰捕鱼了。]
3．Song quitted fishing for a few years during the 1990s because ________．
A．the lake had been heavily polluted
B．he left his village to work in a big city
C．there was no fish in the lake at that time
D．fishing was banned by the local government
答案　A　[细节理解题。根据第四段“Song quitted fishing for a few years during the 1990s due to serious pollution of the lake.”可知，因为湖水被严重污染，所以Song在20世纪90年代一度暂停了捕鱼。]
4．According to Song Shuzhi，________．
A．fishing helps him keep healthy
B．fish hawks are the most important for him
C．it is environmental－friendly to fish with fish hawks

(2019·桐乡高级中学二模)Would it surprise you to learn that，like animals，trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?
UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined.Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest，Simard shows just how wrong he was.In fact，the opposite is true: trees survive through their co－operation and support，passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it”．
Nitrogen (氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi (真菌) networks，making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy.This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons (神经元) in our brains，and when one tree is destroyed，it affects all.
Simard talks about “mother trees”， usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend.She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation，transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow.When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed，we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.
“We didn’t take any notice of it，” Simard says sadly.“Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying，but we never give them a chance.” If we could put across the message to the forestry industry，we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了树和树之间不是你死我活的竞争关系，而是相互依赖的互助关系。快要死的树会将自己的营养传给小树让它们更好地成长。如果人们知道这些现象，就可以更好地保护这些树。
5．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Old Trees Communicate Like Humans
B．Young Trees Are In Need Of Protection
C．Trees Are More Complex Than You Think
D．Trees Contribute To Our Society
答案　C　[标题归纳题。根据第一段和第二段第一句并结合全文内容可知，文章介绍了树和树之间不是你死我活的竞争关系，而是相互依赖的互助关系。快要死的树会将自己的营养传给小树让它们更好地成长，所以树木比我们想象的更复杂。故答案选C。]
6.We can learn from the passage that ________．
A．“mother trees” are usually of no use to other trees
B．Charles Darwin had the same thought as Simard
C．people know much about the complex “tree societies”
D．if “mother trees” are cut down，the survival for the entire forest will be affected
答案　D　[推理判断题。根据第四段第三句“When humans cut down ‘mother trees’ with no awareness of these highly complex ‘tree societies’ or the networks on which they feed，we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.”可推断出，砍掉“母亲树”会影响整片森林的生存状况。故答案选D。]
7．The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to ________．
A．how trees grow old
B．how “tree societies” work
C．how forestry industry develops
D．how young trees survive
答案　B　[代词指代题。画线词出现在第五段段首，所以应该到上一段段末寻找it所指代的内容。上段最后一句指出，砍掉“母亲树”会影响整片森林的生存状况，由此可推断出，it指的是“树的社会”是如何运转的。故答案选B。]
C
(2019·丽水模拟)A new study shows that rising levels of planet－warming gases may reduce important nutrients(营养物) in food crops.
Researchers studied the effects of carbon dioxide on rice.In the experiment, scientists grew 18 kinds of rice in fields in China and Japan.They set carbon dioxide levels to what scientists are predicting for our planet by the end of the century.Rice grown under high carbon dioxide conditions had, on average, 13 to 30 percent lower levels of four B vitamins and 10 percent less protein (蛋白质)．The crops also had 8 percent less iron and 5 percent less zinc than rice grown under normal conditions.However, vitamin E levels increased by about 13 percent on average.
The researchers said the effects of planet－warming gases would be most severe for the poorest citizens in some of the least developed countries.These people generally eat the most rice and have the least complex diets.That includes about 600 million people in Indonesia, Cambodia, Myanmar, Bangladesh，Laos and other nations, mainly in Southeast Asia.
Other studies have shown that higher temperatures from climate change and weather extremes will reduce food production.And scientists are finding that rising levels of carbon dioxide and other planet－warming gases threaten food quality.
Earlier studies showed that wheat, rice, field peas and soybeans grown under high carbon dioxide conditions all had lower levels of protein and minerals.Scientists predicted that almost 150 million people might be at risk of having too little protein or zinc in their diet by 2050.
The new study suggests a way to lower the nutritional harm of climate change.That is to grow different forms of rice that can adapt to higher carbon dioxide levels.
【语篇解读】　本文介绍了温室气体如何减少粮食作物中的营养物质以及降低气候变化对营养物的损害的方法。
8．Growing rice under high carbon dioxide conditions may ________．
A．increase iron in the rice
B．make it less nutritious
C．cause losses of vitamin E
D．make it more delicious
答案　B　[细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Rice grown under high carbon dioxide conditions had，on average，13 to 30 percent lower levels...less protein(蛋白质)”可知，B项为正确答案。]
9．How can people reduce the nutritional harm of climate change?
A．By importing rice from China and Japan.
B．By taking other kinds of food instead of rice.
C．By avoiding eating rice from Southeast Asia.
D．By growing rice suitable for the environment.
答案　D　[细节理解题。根据文章最后一句“That is to grow different forms of rice that can adapt to higher carbon dioxide levels”可知，D项为正确答案。]
10．What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A．To inform readers what nutrients food crops contain.
B．To call on people to care for the planet they live on.
C．To share the results of some studies on people’s diets.
D．To tell readers where food crops are mainly produced.
答案　B　[写作意图题。通读全文可知，本文通过介绍温室气体增加对粮食作物的影响来唤起人们对人类赖以生存的地球家园的保护。故选B。]
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
For me，gardening is the coolest hobby on the planet.What other hobbies can you invest a few dollars in that give you so much in return? There are no membership fees to pay，and no special clothes to buy.__1__ Here are my reasons why I think so.

__5__ Getting kids to try new fruits and vegetables can be a challenge sometimes，but a funny thing happens when they learn that they can grow their own food in the garden.
Sharing is caring.If you grow more fruits and vegetables than you can eat，you can give them to a local food bank or your friends and neighbors.
A．Growing flowers is also a good idea.
B．Gardening can help you save money.
