City-living trees suffer(遭受) a loss of carbon storage(碳储量). That means trees produce less energy from the air.‎ Now researchers say more must be done to deal with the situation. Ian Smith, a PhD student of Boston University in the United States, said, “Cities are in the important position in fighting against rising temperatures and increasing CO2.” “We find that tree planting alone may not be enough to keep and increase city canopy cover(树冠覆盖率). Because of the age and size of the present canopy, efforts to improve and protect tree health are badly needed for increasing city tree cover and canopy cover.”‎ The research team used a model to watch changes among street trees for several planting and management methods. Researchers also used the model to watch tree growth, death and planting rates(率)both among trees in Boston city and forests in the countryside in Massachusetts.‎ It was discovered that rates of carbon cycling and growth rates among city trees were nearly four times faster than those in the countryside. However, loss of carbon storage and death rates are also higher, especially death rates are more than double higher than those in countryside forests.‎ The study, published in PLOS ONE, has reminded scientists to encourage communities to do more to plant and protect trees. It is important to increase city canopy cover and carbon storage.‎ Researchers say planting and protecting will be needed to make sure cities can develop healthily, but more needs to be done to have a better understanding of city trees—which may be different from countryside forests.‎ ‎1.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? (　　)‎ A.The more carbon storage loses, the more energy the trees produce from the air.‎ B.The higher the levels of CO2 are, the harder it will be for the plants to survive.‎ C.If we plant enough trees, we are sure to increase city canopy cover.‎ D.Cities do better in fighting against rising temperatures and increasing CO2.‎ ‎2.Paragraph 4 mainly tells us 　　　　. (　　) ‎ A.the results of the study B.the discoveries from the researchers C.the methods of the study D.the suggestions from the researchers ‎3.What does “those” in Paragraph 5 refer to? (　　)‎ A.Death rates.‎ B.Rates of carbon cycling.‎ C.Growth rates.‎ D.Loss of carbon storage.‎ ‎4.The writer’s main purpose of writing the passage is 　　　　. (　　) ‎ A.to teach us how to improve and protect tree health B.to warn us that trees in cities live fast but die young C.to let us have a better understanding of city trees D.to tell us to take action to increase city canopy cover Ⅲ. 选词填空 阅读下列短文,用方框内所给单词的正确形式填空。(每词限用一次)‎ popular　to　read　be　different　change　creat simple　but　wonder Taking public transportation in the United States, you can often see people reading books on their way to school or work.1.　　　　 in China, I rarely(很少的) see people reading during their free time. ‎ ‎ 2.　　　　 people’s attitudes toward reading different here? Not really. Data(数据) released by Amazon China in December 2019 show that Chinese people still read a lot. They 3.　　　　 prefer e-books over regular books. ‎ However, other data show that reading is still 4.　　　　 in the US than in China. Is there a reason for this 5.　　　　? I’m not sure. What I do know is that China has a rich history of literature. From classic novels like Romance of the Three Kingdoms(《三国演义》)to the modern science-fiction books like The Three-Body Problem(《三体》), and many other styles, Chinese authors 6.　　　　 many fantastic written works so far. ‎ Perhaps the reason starts from childhood.7.　　　　 textbooks and doing homework can make you feel quite tired. By the time you finish it, you might not feel like reading for fun. Chinese students have to read more and do more homework than American students. So it’s no 8.　　　　 that they might not want to read much in their spare time. ‎ But learning to love reading can be great. Reading can open doors 9.　　　　 places, people and ideas that you cannot imagine. Even just a single book has the power 10.　　　　 your own personal beliefs and attitudes. Where will your next book take you?  ‎ Ⅳ.任务型阅读 Chinese noodles have a long history. They were first mentioned in the Eastern Han Dynasty, over 1,900 years ago. (A)At that time,noodles were called “cakes”. They were boiled in water. ‎ ‎ From the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty,there were written records about noodles. (B)在宋朝时期,“面(Mian)”成了面条的名字。 Before that,there was no specific name for this kind of food. ‎ There are all kinds of noodles, such as cold noodles,warm noodles, and fried noodles. There are also all kinds of noodle-making methods,such as brushing,pressing,rolling and pulling.‎ China is where all noodles originated(起源),including spaghetti(意大利面条) that we think came from other countries. In the Yuan Dynasty, Marco Polo came to China. He learned to make noodles, and then taught the method when he went back to his country. In 1912, the traditional Chinese method of noodle-making was brought to Japan.‎ ‎ Japanese noodles were first called “Dragon Noodles”, meaning food eaten by the Chinese—the descendants(后代) of the Dragon.‎ Among all Chinese noodles,the most special type may be Yi Noodles(伊府面).(C)They were created by a chef in the Qing Dynasty. Yi Noodles are made in both southern and northern China,but Fujian and Jiangxi Provinces are most famous for making Yi Noodles. Yi Noodles can be served dry or with soup.(D)Since Yi Noodles are similar to modern instant noodles(方便面), they are considered to be the father of modern instant noodles. ‎ ‎1.将(A)处画线部分改为复合句。‎ ‎  ‎ ‎2.将(B)处画线句子翻译成英语。‎ ‎  ‎ ‎3.根据短文内容回答问题。‎ Why were noodles first called “Dragon Noodles” in Japan?‎ ‎  ‎ ‎4.将(C)处画线句子改为主动语态。‎ ‎  ‎ ‎5.将(D)处画线句子翻译成汉语。‎ ‎  ‎ ‎【参考答案】‎ Ⅰ.[主旨大意]本文是一篇记叙文。这篇短文主要介绍了珍妮来到印度,一开始她认为在新的语言环境里交流是困难的。可是当她去参观孤儿院时,微笑和歌声使她和孩子们开始了交流。‎ ‎1.C　根据最后一段可知,此处指的是语言交流问题。故选C。‎ ‎2.B　3.A　4.B　5.A ‎6.D　look at意为“看着”; laugh at意为“嘲笑”; shout at意为“冲着……大喊”; smile at意为“朝……微笑”。根据下文“She felt a little 　7　 and smiled back.”可知,此处指一段时间后,其中一个孩子对她微笑。故选D。 ‎ ‎7.B　8.D ‎9.C　club意为“俱乐部”; talk意为“交谈”; fun意为“快乐”; dance意为“舞蹈”。根据上文提到珍妮与一个孩子唱歌以及下文很多孩子参与唱歌可知,此处指为了加入到这种快乐中,另一个孩子也走到她身边开始唱。故选C。‎ ‎10.A　‎ Ⅱ.[主旨大意]本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了城市树木的寿命比农村的更短并给出一些原因,同时呼吁人们更好地了解城市树木。‎ ‎1.B　推理判断题。从第二段“Researchers found that trees in cities die younger than ones in the countryside because of the higher levels of CO2.”可知选B。‎ ‎2.C　主旨大意题。主要是叙述研究的方法,没有提到研究结果和发现,也没有提出建议。故选C。‎ ‎3.A　推理判断题。根据前文“especially death rates are more than double higher than 　those　 in countryside forests.”比较级是同类比较,主语是death rates,所以those代指death rates。 ‎ ‎4.C　主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段中“but more needs to be done to have a better understanding of city trees”可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是让我们对城市树木有更好的了解,故选C。‎ Ⅲ.1.But　2.Are　3.simply　4.more popular ‎5.difference　6.have created　7.Reading ‎8.wonder　9.to　10.to change Ⅳ.1.At that time, noodles were called “cakes”that /which were boiled in water.‎ ‎2.“Mian” became the name of noodles in the Song Dynasty.‎ ‎3.Because noodles are a kind of food eaten by the Chinese—the descendants of the Dragon.‎ ‎4.A chef created them in the Qing Dynasty.‎ ‎5.因为伊府面类似于方便面,所以它们被认为是“现代方便面之父”。‎
