The best title for the passage is _______．A. Travel in the Future B. Future LifeC. Where to Live in the Future D. Space TravelCIn 2018, Pakistan promised to plant ten billion trees in an effort to slow climate change and to save a land that has been destroyed.That program, whose name is 10 Billion Trees Tsunami, has been taking effect slowly for the past two years, but it recently has received unexpected help from the coronavirus（新冠病毒）. Many Pakistanis are suddenly unemployed, so the government has given them jobs as tree-planters. Unemployed day laborers have been turned into "jungle workers", planting trees for 500 rupees a day（$3）. It's not much, but it can help the unemployed get by.As the coronavirus struck Pakistan, the 10 Billion Trees campaign was halted as part of social distancing orders put in place to slow the spread of the virus. But earlier this month, the government allowed the forestry agency to restart the program and create more than 63, 600 jobs.The program is employing three times the number of planters as it normally does, and the planting season has been extended from May（its usual end）throughout June, in order to keep workers employed. All workers are being told to wear masks and keep two meters of distance from others.Shahid Rashid Awan, project director for Punjab province, said the project hopes to reach 50 million trees this year. “We can absorb all the unemployed laborers and workers who have fled the cities and returned to their villages in the past few weeks.”A study declared tree planting to be an effective way to store carbon, and if planted in large quantities around the globe, a powerful solution to climate change. While it won’t fix every climate-related problem we have, it can go a long way if done widely, which is exactly what Pakistan is trying to do with such impressive determination.And the workers will benefit greatly, too. Not only are they able to earn money and support their families at a difficult time, but they’re outside in the fresh air, away from the potential health risks from more tightly-packed urban environments. It’s a brilliant idea that all country leaders should consider copying.How does the coronavirus influence Pakistan?A lot of animals are starving.Many people are out of work.Much land is left unmanaged.The government has lost power.Which of the following best explains "halted" underlined in Paragraph 3?Agreed. B. Discussed. C. Stopped. D. Doubted.10. Why is the project environmentally-friendly?A. Financial support has been gained because of it.B. It has persuaded people to plant trees in big cities.C. Many laborers produce much less carbon dioxide.D. It can contribute to fighting against climate change.11. What does the author think of Pakistan's move?A. It serves as a good example.B. It is not fit for other countries.C. It is a waste of time and money.D. It brings many economic benefits.DWhen the leaves begin to change their colors and the birds head south, we know the season is starting to change. On September 7 comes White Dew (白露), the 15th solar term (节气) of the year. It indicates the beginning of the cool autumn. As the temperature falls, white dew is often seen on the grass and trees at night. For writers and poets, autumn is a difficult season to describe. It’s the end of the summer, and therefore a little sad. The days seem to get shorter, and when you wake in the morning, there’s mist(薄雾) and it’s cooler. Winter is just around the corner. American writer Ernest Hemingway wrote in his book A Moveable Feast, “You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare (光秃秃的) against the wind and the cold, wintry light. But on the other hand, autumn has its good side. There are so many changes at this time of year, such as the colorful leaves and cooler nights. French writer Albert Camus even thought autumn was a second spring, “when every leaf is a flower.” This view is also found in the most famous autumn poem in English literature, To Autumn by John Keats. In that poem, Keats says that autumn has its own songs, just like spring. Another theme of this season is wisdom. The arrival of autumn is thought to be similar to a person becoming mature (成熟的). The great Irish poet W.B. Yeats used this idea in his poem The Wild Swans at Coole writing about the changing seasons in Coole Park in the west of Ireland. Seeing and counting 59 swans, he remembers first making the count as a young man. Seeing the swans do the same thing for all those years, he’s reminded that even though we get older, our hearts always stay the same age.12. What can be concluded about White Dew?A. It is often ignored by writers and poets.B. It is the time of year with the most rainfall. C. It is when the temperature begins to drop.D. It indicates the end of the autumn.13. A Moveable Feast was mentioned to ______.A. point out that autumn is very coldB. present the sad part of autumnC. show that winter w ill soon comeD. express sadness about the end of life14. What does “this idea” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Autumn is an important season for man.B. We can always stay young at heart. C. Autumn is related to one’s growing old. D. Nature is full of lessons to be learned.15. What’s the article mainly about?A. The solar term White Dew.B. Why autumn is a sad season.C. Autumn weather and activities.D. Famous writers’ description of autumn.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的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。Life isn’t always a walk in the park. __16__ These tips are small things that happy peopledo to make life just a little bit better, and now you can too.1.
