学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________

一、阅读理解

    The world is a splendid place, full of hidden and overt beauty in every corner. Here are some of the most beautiful places around the world.

    Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Uganda

Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is one of the last harbors of the mountain gorilla(大猩猩). Several hundred call this UNESCO World Heritage Site home, with the chance for visitors hike and meet habituated groups. Its biodiversity extends far beyond its most famous inhabitants, however—almost 350 bird species and around 220 butterfly species can be found within its 331-square-kilometer expanse.

    Samburu, Kenya

    Thanks to its relative inaccessibility in the heart of Kenya, Samburu is a haven(避难所) for some of Africa's most charming wildlife. The grassland and acacia-dotted landscapes of its national reserve are home to the endangered giraffe and zebra, as well as the pioneering Elephant Watch Camp.

    Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, China

    China's first UNESCO World Heritage Site, Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in Hunan Province is known for its towering sandstone pillars(柱子). Best explored on foot, its back trails make for an easy way to escape the crowds and find the best views. As the mists fall, it's easy to sea why this area has long been an inspiration for traditional Chinese paintings.

    The Maldives

The sand of its 1,200 islands is as white as it gets, and the water is a deep blue that puts all other seas in the shade. The Indian Ocean nation of the Maldives has developed into the world's premier tropical hotspot for a reason. Best of all, there are plenty of beaches to go around, with over 100 private resorts and welcoming, affordable guesthouses around the Male and Ari atolls.

1、What makes Samburu a haven for wildlife?

A. Its landscape. B. Its location. C.Its climate. D.Its food.

2、What do Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and Zhangjiajie National Forest Park have in common?

B. They have more than 350 bird species.

C. They are on the World Heritage Site List.

D. They are inspirations for traditional paintings.

3、Which of the following suits beach-lovers?

A. Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. B.Samburu.

C. Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. D. The Maldives.

    Students at Summit Elementary in Butler, Pennsylvania, are growing more than their minds. Under the guidance of longtime teacher Angela Eyth, they've created a generous garden to benefit people in need at nearby Broad Street Elementary, whose neighborhood lacks fresh-produce options.

    The project is now two years old, and goes beyond planting and growing: Eyth and her fellow educators structure lessons in science, math and more around their garden. "The kids are in charge of everything," Eyth says. "They're so proud of what we're doing here."

    "When we grew cabbage my students noticed something was eating the leaves," Eyth recalls. "This led to an investigation into what was eating them and how to stop it: the kids analyzed the evidence they found and acted as engineers in creating various ways to keep pests(害虫) out of the cabbage beds."

    She continues, "People think gardening should be separate from core subjects but it's far from the truth. The kids' curiosity keeps it rolling."

    The kids also keep the produce rolling—so much so that with a $70,000 grant from Remake Learning/Grable Foundation, they're building a farm stand at Broad Street Elementary that will ultimately bring fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs and more to an area of their community considered a food desert. People will be able to go there and gain the benefits of the harvest.

    This year's crop included corn, peas, beans, carrots, turnips, squash and pumpkins; plans are in place to keep expanding in the years ahead with items like Christmas trees, a sunflower patch and a pollinator garden. "It's amazing that you start with a small idea and it can grow," Eyth says.

4、What can we know about the community near Broad Street Elementary?

A. It focuses on students' growth. B. It invites Eyth to create a garden.

C. Its fresh-produce variety is limited. D. It relies an students for fresh produce.

5、How do Eyth and her colleagues help the students?

A. By arranging subjects around the garden.

B.By analyzing the structure of subjects.

C By deciding what to plant in the garden.

D. By providing them with job opportunities.

6、Why did the students conduct an investigation?

A. To experience the work of engineers.

B. To make the evidence more convincing.

C. To find ways to plant vegetables well.

D.To figure out what fed on cabbage leaves.

7、Which can best describe the students at Summit Elementary in Butler?

A.Fnergetuc and healthy B. Creative and responsible.

C. Patient and strong-willed. D. Cautious and talented.

    A new device known as SharkGuard is being trialled which gives off a pulse to protect sharks and rays from fishing hooks(鱼钩). The data so far suggests that it has been very effective in reducing the number of sharks and stingrays caught by commercial fishing equipment.

    Commercial fishing is known to threaten sharks and rays worldwide. Research has found that 24 per cent of the average monthly space used by sharks around the world falls under the-footprint of distant longline fisheries. This is when hooks hang near the surface to catch fish like tuna and swordfish. A quarter of shark habitats are within active fishing zones.

    It is estimated that over 20,000,000 sharks are caught as bycatch every year. Stingrays are also frequently caught as bycatch. "Bycatch" refers to unwanted fish and marine creatures caught by commercial fishing equipment, and is typically discarded(丢弃) overboard either dead or dying.

    SharkGuard was designed by marine scientists to protect sharks and rays from fishing equipment. It is a small battery-powered device that can be fastened on the line next to a baited hook and gives off a short pulse every two seconds.

    Study found that the device reduced the number of blue sharks caught in a French longline tuna fishery in the Mediterranean by 91 per cent, and stingrays by 71 per cent. These are promising numbers, although Dr Phil Doherty, lead author of the study, said that SharkGuard should "be designed on a case-by-case basis to ensure it's fit for purpose."

8、What is the new device used to do?

A. Stop sharks being caught. B.Reduce the number of sharks.

C. Confirm a scientific guess. D.Prevent commercial hunting.

9、What is paragraph 2 mainly about?

A.The places fishing hooks hang. B. The range of commercial fishing.

C. The benefits of protecting sharks. D. The harm of commercial fishing.

10、What does Phil Doherty think of the device!

A.It is promising.  B. It is ineffective.

C. It needs improving. D.It is perfectly designed.

11、What is the text?

A. A diary entry.  B. A news report.

C.A fantasy story.  D.A book review.

    Diet containing lots of salt can contribute to increased levels of stress, a new study shows. Scientists found in studies of mice that a high-salt diet increased the levels of a stress hormone by 75 per cent. Experts hope the findings will encourage a review of public health policy around salt consumption, aiming at manufacturers reducing the amount of salt in processed food.

    The recommended salt intake for adults is less than six grams a day but most people regularly eat about nine grams. This can contribute to higher blood pressure, which increases the risks of heart attacks, strokes and dementia.

    While effects on the heart and circulatory(循环) system have been ascertained, little was known about the impact of a high-salt diet on a person's behaviour. To study this, experts from the University of Edinburgh used mice, who ordinarily have a low-salt diet, and gave them high-salt food to reflect the typical intake of humans.

    They found that not only did resting stress hormone levels increase, but the mice's hormone response to environmental stress was double that of mice that had a normal diet. Salt intake increased the activity of genes that produce the proteins in the brain which control how the body responds to stress.

    Experts say further studies are already underway to understand if a high-salt intake leads to other behavioural changes such as anxiety and aggression. Matthew Bailey, professor of Renal Physiology at the University of Edinburgh's Centre for Cardiovascular Science, said: "We are what we eat and understanding how high-salt food changes our mental health is an important step to improving wellbeing. We know that eating too much salt damages our heart, blood vessels(血管) and kidneys. This study now tells us that high salt in our food also changes the way our brain handles stress.

12、What are the findings expected to bring about eventually?

A. Manufacturers adding less salt to processed food.

B. People debating the policy on public health.

C. Decreased levels of stress hormones.

D.Reduced amount of processed food.

13、What does the underlined word "ascertained" in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. Ignored. B. Restored.  C. Reduced. D. Confirmed.

14、Which of the following may be a subject of further research?

A. What policy on salt should be.

B. How a high-salt intake affects blood pressure.

C. How much salt intake is appropriate.

D. Whether a high-salt intake causes anxiety.

15、What may be a suitable little for the text?

A. Most people regularly take in too much salt.

B. Mental health is important to improving wellbeing.

C. Diet containing much salt increases levels of stress.

D. Less than six grams of salt a day is recommended.

六、读后续写

34、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。

    Brent's Hill was without doubt the best sledding(滑雪橇) hill imaginable—incredibly high at the top, a long, and steep(陡峭的) run in the middle and a flat stretch at the bottom. Today the conditions were perfect for sledding. We had watched all day from the windows of our classrooms, looking toward to carrying out our plan.

    The thought of our plans was almost too much, I couldn't keep my mind on my studies at all. The orange tabletop consumed my thoughts. It was ready to go!

    It was an idea that hit us just yesterday. We had been playing hide-and-seek when we noticed the round tabletop leaning against the wall of our house. The rest of the table had long since disappeared. No one knew why my dad had kept the top It was about four feet across, weighed an unbelievable number of pounds, and more importantly, it was bright orange. My father had sprayed it the previous summer with orange paint in the hope of preserving it for one more year. Who came up with the idea of using the tabletop as a sled? I can't remember, but we all knew it was brilliant.

    History would be made. I could see it now. We would fly down the hill, easily passing everyone else. Whether we would take the safer route to the left, or the narrower, more challenging one to the right was the decision we thought of. There were, of course, advantages and disadvantages to both.

    "Billy, you're daydreaming again," blamed Mr. Kenniger. "You are never going to get through Grade Six if you continue like this."

I put my head back down and pretended to be studying. I could not afford to be left behind at school! Eventually it was 3:30 and the class was dismissed. I was free! The plan was set. We would race home and meet in my backyard to get the tabletop.

The tabletop was too heavy to carry, so big Tom, Mary and I took turns rolling it to our destination—Brent's hill.

注意:

1.续写词数应为150左右;

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

    On the way, we talked about the adventure excitedly.

33、答案：

A Calligraphy Competition

    In order to raise all the students' awareness of the importance of beautiful handwriting, our school held a calligraphy competition in the school lecture hall last Friday.

    More than 50 students actively participated in it. Each of them handed in a work in half an hour, which they think can represent their true level. After all the students finished their works, 10 teachers, including 3 experts invited from the professional organizations, graded them. In the end, 20 students won prizes offered by our school.

    All in all, the competition is such a success that everyone involved benefits a lot from it.

34、答案：

    On the way, we talked about the adventure excitedly. We discussed which route we would take, how we would control the tabletop, and most importantly, who would have the first turn. Would it be Tom, Mary or me? We all wanted to be the first. Soon we stood at the top of the hill. Conditions were excellent. But we changed our mind as we stared down the hill. It seemed steeper than usual. Given this, the urge to be the first one down the hill lost its appeal.

    Looking down from the top of the steep hill, we hesitated, but Tom decided to have a try. After all, he was older and had much experience. Then we helped Tom settle in the tabletop and wanted to let go of it. But at that moment, we heard a voice calling. It was Mr. Kenniger. He ran over to us. It turned out that he also liked sledding. Then he checked our tabletop and shared with us some skills. With him being with us, our courage came back. That afternoon, we had a very good time.
