【題目】閱讀下列短文，根據(jù)短文內容填空。在未給提示詞的空白處僅填寫1個適當?shù)膯卧~，在給出提示詞的空白處用括號內所給詞的正確形式填空。

You are never too old to go after your dreams. Many people don’t let age stop them. If they want to do something, they just do it. For example, Gladys Burrill ran her first marathon at 86. She became famous when she 【1】 (finish) the Honolulu Marathon (檀香山馬拉松). She was 92 then. Life is about change, so don’t be afraid to take your 【2】 (one) step. It is easy after you do that. So, stop 【3】 (think) about your dreams, and start doing something about them.

【答案】

【1】finished

【2】first

【3】thinking

【解析】

這是一篇議論文。人們不能讓年齡阻止他們追求自己夢想的腳步。要敢于邁出追逐夢想的步伐。

【1】考查時態(tài)。句意：當她完成了檀香山馬拉松比賽時，她就出名了。由下一句“那時她92歲�！笨芍�，“完成檀香山馬拉松比賽”發(fā)生在過去。finish應該使用一般過去時。故填finished。

【2】考查序數(shù)詞。句意：生活就是不斷做出改變，所以不要害怕邁出第一步。結合句意，做出改變就需要邁出第一步。one的序數(shù)詞是first。故填first。

【3】考查動名詞。句意：因此，停止思考你的夢想，然后開始對它們做一些事情。stop to do sth.：中斷當前做的某事，然后去做另一件事；stop doing sth.：停止正在做的某事。結合句意可知，做些事情去實現(xiàn)夢想就要停止思考而不是停下來去思考，因此stop后面使用doing形式。故填thinking。

【題目】Phuket, Thailand

With its dry season stretching from November to April, there are few more reliable destinations for a sunny escape than Phuket in winter. Thailand's biggest island is a holiday icon, starting as a backpacker get-away and now a mainstream favorite. Besides blue water, fine beaches, palm trees and massage, the sunsets from Phromthep Cape at the southern tip are marvelous.

Sicily, Italy

Winter in Sicily means fewer crowds, bright blue skies, and almond trees in full bloom. It also means you'll have the island's stunning Baroque towns and extraordinary archeological (考古學的) sites all to yourself and that you'll be able to ski on Mount Etna, indulge in delicious cuisine, and enjoy beautiful Taormina at its most relaxed.

Xishuangbanna, China

Xishuangbanna in Yunnan province is one of the most-visited spots in China. As the country's only tropical rainforest nature reserve, it has surprising biological diversity. The climate is humid and warm here, and the temperature gap between the coldest month and the hottest month is only 10 degrees Celsius, which makes it one of the ideal places to enjoy pleasant temperatures during the cold months.

Quy Nho'n, Vietnam

Sitting between the busy coastal cities of Nha Trang and Hoi An, Quy Nho'n is a relatively unknown, quiet beach town. The intense resort development seen in the country's more popular seaside locations has yet to reach this region, making for a perfect place for a relaxed getaway. Besides fresh seafood, there lies a pretty cove beach around a dozen kilometers south of Quy Nho'n, where there is a collection of fine hotels popular with independent travelers.

Alaska, the United States

Alaska has a natural landscape that seems at times untouched by humanity. Anchorage, the state's largest city, has the typical Iditarod Dog Race, which alone is worth a trip to see.

【題目】 Natural selection is the process by which one type of animal within a species thrives because of certain characteristics that make it more likely to live than others in its group. The history of the peppered moth（灰蛾）is an example of the natural selection process.

In 19th century England, certain types of peppered moths were able to better blend（融合）into their surroundings. During that time period, great changes were happening in Great Britain. The Industrial Revolution was part of this change, and with it came air pollution. Natural selection often takes hundred or even thousands of years to occur. For the peppered moth, this process occurred comparatively quickly.

At the beginning of the Industrial Age, most peppered moths in England were light-colored and covered with black markings, although a few moths had dark-colored wings. Because the light-colored moths blended into the light-colored bark on the trees, they could not be easily seen by birds that would eat them. As the air grew more polluted, however, tree trunks became covered with soot（煙煤）and became darker. The light-colored moths became easy for birds to see against the dark tree trunks. Since the dark-colored moths now had the advantage, their numbers grew. Within 50 years, the peppered moth went from being mostly light-colored to being mostly dark-colored.

In the 20th century, the air cleared up, and the peppered moth population changed again. As tree trunks lighted due to less soot in the air, light-colored moths once again had an advantage. Their numbers increased as soot levels declined. Depending on their environment, the coloration of the moths helped them to be “naturally selected” to survive.

【1】In 19th century, what was one of the causes of great changes in Great Britain?

A.The surroundings.B.The Industrial Revolution.

C.The natural selection.D.The peppered moth.

【2】What can we infer about the peppered moth’s natural selection process?

A.The length of time was unusual.

B.The soot levels in England did not affect it.

C.The color of peppered moths changed at random.

D.It was a good example of environmental protection.

【3】What’s the difference between light-colored and dark-colored moths?

A.Dark-colored moths were originally easy to see on trees.

B.Both kinds of moths preferred the dark-colored trees.

C.Birds failed to see light-colored moths.

D.The color of moths was unimportant.

【4】Which would most likely happen if soot darkened England’s trees again?

A.Birds would eat fewer moths.

B.Moths would not be able to stay alive.

C.Light-colored moths would disturb people’s life.

D.The population of dark-colored moths would increase.

【題目】 Humans and elephants don’t always get along. In Africa and Asia, elephants damage infrastructure (基礎設施), farmers’ crops, and natural habitat critical for other species. If an elephant becomes a problem, humans may kill it. So local people and conservationists are trying to find better ways to keep elephants away from sensitive places. Now, researchers think they have a good tool to stop elephants: honeybee pheromones (信息素).

“Elephants hate being stung (刺) in the trunk, so it’s an extremely sensitive organ. Imagine being stung in your nose by a bee, and multiply that a few thousand times.” said Mark Wright, a professor of entomology at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

Kenyan farmers have long known that if they hang live beehives around their farms, they will repel elephants. “The problem is logistical, how do you manage hundreds of thousands of hives, if you have a huge area to protect? And then the idea came up to look at the alarm pheromones, which are chemicals that the bee release to launch an attack on something that’s damaging the hive.” Because elephants have a highly developed sense of smell, Wright and his team thought they might be able to use the bees’ alarm signal to affect elephant behavior.

So the researchers tested out a synthetic blend (合成混合物) of chemicals that imitates honeybees’ alarm pheromones. In Greater Kruger National Park in South Africa, the team hung white socks treated with the synthetic mixture as well as untreated control socks around an elephant watering hole, and then observed the animals’ behavior. “Elephants are really curious organisms, they’ll walk along and see something like a sock hanging on a branch in the environment, and they’ll inspect it. And if it’s not treated with the alarm pheromones, they’ll pick it up, throw it around, try to taste it, things like that. And in the case of the treated ones, we found that they would show immediate signs of unease or uncertainty, and they’d eventually back off from them. Very seldom would they go to pick them up and play with them.” The study is in the journal Current Biology.

【1】What will the researchers do to prevent elephants from damaging human’s habitat?

A.Kill them.B.Scare them away.

C.Apply honeybee pheromones.D.Rebuild a new ecosystem.

【2】What does Mr. Wright think of Kenyan farmers’ method if it’s applied to a huge area?

A.Scientific.B.Flexible.C.Awesome.D.Impractical.

【3】Why did the researcher conduct the study?

A.To confirm what they thought.

B.To attract the elephants’ attention.

C.To preserve the elephants’ habitat.

D.To test out honeybee’s alarm pheromones.

【4】What’s the main idea of the text?

A.Elephants and humans don’t get along well.

B.Honeybee pheromones can keep elephants away.

C.Elephants have a highly developed sense of smell.

D.Honeybees release pheromones to launch attacks.

【題目】 At 9 pm, Li Zhigang was sitting in front of his fruit shop on a busy street in central Shanghai’s Xujiahui area, removing the thin plastic film from rotten pears and oranges. “This is so much trouble!” he complained while throwing the plastic into one garbage can and the fruit into another. In the past, Li simply threw away what could not be sold with the packaging on, but from July 1, 2019, he could be fined up to 200 yuan for doing so.

Like Li, many of the tens of millions of residents in Shanghai have been complaining recently that the introduction of compulsory household garbage sorting is making life difficult, but at the same time have been having to learn to do it.

Calls for garbage sorting have brought little progress in China in the past decade, but Shanghai is leading a fresh start for the world’s second-largest waste producer. “If we say China is now classifying its waste, then it’s Shanghai that is really doing it,” said Chen Liwen, an environmentalist who has devoted herself to waste classification for the past decade. “It’s starting late, compared with the US or Japan, but if it’s successful in such a big city with such a huge population, it will mean a lot for the world,” she said. While the measures force a change of habits for most people, they bring opportunities for some. Du Huanzheng, director of the Recycling Economy Institute at Tongji University, said waste sorting was important for China’s recycling industry. “Without proper classification, a lot of garbage that can be recycled is burned, and that’s a pity,” he said. “After being classified, things suitable to be stored and transported can now be recycled.” Besides, prices of small sortable garbage cans for home use have increased on e-commerce (電子商務) platforms, while garbage can makers are also developing smart models in response to new needs. What’s more, garbage sorting is also an important part of a country’s soft power. “For China, it is an opportunity to improve its international reputation. However, it is a long process that requires effort from government, enterprises and individuals (個人),” Du said.

【1】What do the underlined words “doing so” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A.Packaging fruit with plastic film.

B.Selling rotten fruit to customers.

C.Throwing rotten fruit into a garbage can.

D.Throwing fruit and its packaging into the same garbage can.

【2】What does the author want to show by writing Paragraph 2?

A.The new garbage sorting rules in Shanghai are strict.

B.Garbage sorting puts Shanghai residents into trouble.

C.It is not easy to learn how to sort garbage.

D.It’s necessary to sort garbage in Shanghai.

【3】What is Chen Liwen’s attitude towards garbage sorting in China?

A.Hopeful.B.Doubtful.

C.Uninterested.D.Worried.

【4】Which of the following is mentioned as a benefit of garbage sorting?

A.It helps reduce the burden of individuals.

B.It makes smart garbage cans affordable.

C.It helps improve China’s hard power.

D.It avoids recyclable things being burned.
