I was excited to take my rescued beagle (比格犬), Georgie, to the river the other day, as it’s within walking distance of our new home. Having spent her first six years in a cage, Georgie had never seen a body of water, and I wanted to get there before sunset to watch her experience it.

I was growing increasingly impatient with all the stops her little nose required. She inspected the grass, dirt, and trees, and licked (舔) whatever was stuck on the road. These were all new discoveries for her, and she took her time studying them.

When I accepted that it was fruitless to hurry her along, I whipped out my cellphone and began texting. I thought that I needed something to do while Georgie was slowing us down. Then, for some reason, I heard the cicadas (蝉), and I remembered that the sound of cicadas is my favorite sound in the world. That awakened something buried within me that I longed for the simple pleasures that had been replaced by technology.

I made a conscious decision to enjoy the journey to the river just like Georgie. Now, I admired the flowers and the winding ivy on our path. I smelled the grass and flowers, and the dirt and the air. I treasured each one equally, as if discovering them for the first time.

As we neared our destination, I realized something even more important: It didn’t matter whether we reached the river. Why must there always be a destination? Georgie had no idea that we had a destination. She was present for the journey, and she savored every bit of that sweet experience. There was no race and no finish line.

Now I’m not sure who rescued whom.

34. Why did the author take out the cellphone?

A. To kill time.

B. To hurry the dog along.

C. To record the sound of cicadas.

D. To awaken the simple pleasures.

35. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?

A. What the author saw on the way.

B. How the author enjoyed the journey.

C. Why the author traveled to the river.

D. Whether the author reached his destination.

36. What does the underlined word “savored” in the fifth paragraph mean?

A. Smelled. B. Expected. C. Enjoyed. D. Deserved.

37. What is the best title for the text?

A. Think Like a Dog

B. Say Goodbye to Cellphones

C. Learn to Get Along With Pets

D. Travel Toward Destinations

C

The world’s animal populations have decreased by more than two - thirds since 1970, according to a recent research from the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).

The London group provided information on 32, 000 wildlife populations which included more than 5,000 species. The researchers found that population sizes had reduced by 69 percent on average. They said the loss of forests, human exploitation(开发) of the environment, pollution, and climate change were great causes of the loss. Land- use change is still the biggest threat (威胁) to wildlife. However, the researchers added, “if we cannot limit warming to 1.5°C, climate change is likely to become the primary cause of biodiversity(生物多样性) loss in the coming years.”

Wildlife populations in Latin American and the Caribbean Sea area were greatly affected. The research showed a 94 percent drop in those areas in over 50 years. Wildlife populations in river and lake habitats decreased the most. Freshwater populations have reduced by an average of 83 percent since 1970. For example, one population of pink river dolphins in the Amazon River area of Brazil fell by 65 percent between 1994 and 2016.

These findings are a red flag that warns of a larger system failure on the horizon. Even one species’ population reduction can affect other species, eventually impacting the ecosystem’s (生态系统) ability to function. Humans depend on a stable climate, predictable weather patterns, and productive farmland and fisheries to thrive(蓬勃发展), but the current trends are severe enough to threaten many life-sustaining systems.

Our future depends on reversing(扭转) the loss of nature just as much as it depends on addressing climate change. And you can’t solve one without solving the other. Everyone has a role in reversing these trends, from individuals to companies to governments. If nothing changes, animal populations will undoubtedly continue to fall, driving wildlife to extinction and threatening the wholeness of the ecosystems on which we all depend.

38. What is the greatest threat to wildlife populations recently?

A. Illegal hunting.    B. Global warming.

C. Land- use change.   D. Environmental pollution.

39. How does the author explain the reduction of freshwater wildlife in Paragraph 3?

A. By listing figures.   B. By analyzing the causes.

C. By making a comparison.  D. By referring to a concept.

40. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?

A. Climate change threatens many wild animals.

B. Farmland is the basis of life- sustaining systems.

C. Extreme weather events have become more frequent.

D. Species variety is important to maintain a stable ecosystem.

41. What is the main purpose of the text?

A. To explain the difficulty of restoring ecosystems.

B. To call on people to take action to protect nature.

C. To present the increasing trend of climate change.

D. To show people’s efforts in making up for the loss of nature.

第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，共10分)

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

If you have been exposed to a natural disaster (for example, a tornado or hurricane), it is very important to learn ways of coping with natural disasters and their impact (巨大影响). Natural disasters can be considered dangerous events that have a high potential to place you at risk.   42   Unlike other traumatic (痛苦的) events, natural disasters can also result in the destruction of property and financial loss, further affecting your stress levels and disrupting (扰乱) coping efforts. Despite the effects of natural disasters, there are steps you can take to cope.

   43   Over and over again, it has been found that support from others can be a major factor in helping people overcome the negative effects of a traumatic event. Given that a natural disaster can impact an entire community, your support system may be weakened by a natural disaster.

Try to establish a schedule.   44   A natural disaster can greatly disrupt your regular schedule increasing the extent to which your life feels out of control. Coming up with a daily, structured schedule can help you establish a sense of predictability(可预测性) and control.

Talk about the effect of the natural disaster.   45   A natural disaster can result in strong feelings of anger, anxiety, and sadness. These emotions need to be expressed. If you hold them in, they may only grow stronger in intensity.

Practice healthy coping strategies. Following a natural disaster, you will experience a number of intense negative emotions.   46   Alcohol use, excessive sleep, or seeking comfort in food may be effective short- term strategies for managing emotional distress. However, in the long- term, these strategies won’t address the real issue and will only cause your distress to increase.

A. Seek out and connect with social support.

B. Try to limit all the other sources of stress in your life.

C. For example, set regular times for meals, or waking up in the mornning.

D. Natural disasters can bring about high levels of stress, anxiety, and anger.

E. Share your feelings with others, or find some ways to express your emotions.

F. Therefore, it is very important to identify healthy ways of managing these emotions.

G. Your most important task following a natural disaster is getting your life back in order.

第三部分：书面表达(共两节，28分)

第一节(共3小题；第47、48题各2分，第49题4分，共8分)

阅读下面的短文和问题，根据短文内容，在相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。答语要结构正确，书写工整，字迹清楚。

Good morning... I hope you all are doing well in your studies and if there is a problem related to your studies, please feel free to come to my office. Today, I and all the teachers decided to gather all the children for the speech on World Heritage Day. Since the day is around the corner, I wanted to give knowledge to my children on this subject. As a Principal of this school, I try not only to make my children perform well in studies, but also to enlighten them on subjects which are very much concerned about mankind.

World Heritage has been described as the common wealth of mankind. This day is a great reminder of our rich cultural past and it is our responsibility that we protect our heritage not only for ourselves but for future generations. Undoubtedly, heritage sites should be preserved and protected. They are invaluable wealth for mankind. The date of the holding of World Heritage Day is April 18 and it was first started in the year 1982.

I am speaking from my personal experience and I am sure every one of you must have noticed at some point. Regarding the fact that many people have developed irresponsible (negligent) attitude towards our national heritage. This is the reason that heritage buildings are often found damaged. However, it is due to the continuous repair work of such sites by the government that our nation is still able to keep its beauty, if not in its entirety, but at least to an extent it attracts millions of tourists a year.

World Heritage Day is actually a day for every concerned citizen of a country to feel proud of the great cultural property of its nation. At last, I want to say in many ways, we can contribute towards the maintenance (维持) of world heritage sites so that their beauty does not minimize and they remain the center of attraction for people all over the world.

Please consider what you can do to maintain the beauty of the world heritage. Let’s do our best!

47. Why does the speaker make this speech?

48. What does the World Heritage Day remind us according to the speaker?

49. What can you do to contribute towards the maintenance of world heritage sites?
