阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Deciduous forests(落叶林) are home to many wild animals. The development and expansion of
human presence in the forests has caused many of their native species to become endangered.
Giant Panda
The giant panda, one of the most recognizable endangered species, is a large, docile species of
bear native to the deciduous forest of eastern China, Myanmar and Vietnam. Because of its lim-ited
diet— the panda’ s main source of food is bamboo— the species is limited in its habitat to areas where
bamboo is available. Now the species only can be found today in 20 small patches of forest at the
western edge of its historic range.
Gray and Red Wolves
The gray wolf, which once ranged from the East Coast of America to the West, and south to
Mexico, now has a population of only 5, 000 in the lower 48 states, mostly in the Rocky Mountains.
The smaller red wolf, native to the southeastern United States, was declared extinct in the wild in
1980, though conservation efforts have reintroduced small captive populations to the wild in
California.
Red-Crowned Crane
The red-crowned crane is native to Japan, Korea and eastern China. Agricultural expansion and
deforestation (森林砍伐) in these areas have removed a great deal of the marshes and forests that are
the crane’ s primary habitats. For a time, the crane was thought to have completely disappeared from Japan, but the recent discovery of cranes in Japanese marshlands has restarted conservation efforts.
Today, around 2, 500 cranes live in the wild, including 1,000 in Japan.
European Mink
Native to Europe, the European mink ranges from France in the west to Finland in the north,
Russia in the east and the Balkans in the south. Destruction of the mink’ s aquatic (水的) habitat and
use of the species for fur have caused dramatic drops in the species’ population, which has been
reduced by 85 percent since the mid-19th century.
1. What has caused the wild animals to become endangered?
A. Global warming. B. International trade.
C. Environmental pollution. D. The invasion of mankind.
2. Which species is native to North America?
A. European Mink. B. Red Wolves.
C. Red － Crowned Crane. D. Giant Panda.
3. Which is mentioned as the reason for the decline of European minks?
A. The loss of their natural food. B. The hunting of human beings.
C. Drought and forest fires. D. Excessive deforestation.
4. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To call for more efforts to protect forests.
B. To study the living habits of wild animals.
C. To introduce some endangered species.
D. To find ways to protect wild animals.

No books, no whiteboards, no markers or pens. That’s the new reality for many classrooms across
Abu Dhabi, the capital city of the United Arab Emirates ( UAE) , where a company is using artificial
intelligence (AI) to create a new learning experience.
Built four years ago, Alef Education has managed to get its digital education platform into several
schools in Abu Dhabi. Alef has worked closely with the government of UAE to bring the platform to
25, 000 students at 57 public schools.
The platform focuses on main subjects like math, science and English. It helps students by using
AI to design curriculums for individuals.
It also gives students, teachers and parents real-time feedback. For students, that could mean a
more personalized way to help them better understand what they are learning. The platform can also find students’ strengths.
“ If a student is doing really well at science, why not raise their interest in what it’ s like to be a
scientist? ” Alef Education CEO Geoffrey Alphonso said. “ That’ s our future goal to use AI to create
individual learning plans. ” But there are concerns that using the technology could come at a cost, such
as increasing the amount of time children spend in front of screens.
Alphonso said that his program solves this problem by limiting screen time to 3 hours and a half
a day. The classes are followed by practical activities in which children interact with one another and
use their hands for experiments.
“ We are looking to grow in countries that have a need for changing their education
system,”Alphonso said, adding that the company plans to bring its platform to more than 300 schools
this year.
5. What is the benefit of the platform?
A. Lightening teachers’ burden. B. Improving teaching efficiency.
C. Creating a new learning style. D. Inspiring students to work harder.
6. How does Alef respond to the concern about the platform?
A. Limiting children’ s screen time. B. Decreasing the operating cost.
C Organizing sports activities. D. Providing real － time feedback.
7. What is Alef Education’ s future plan?
A. To update their digital platform. B. To change UAE’ s education system.
C. To expand business to other countries. D. To build 300 schools in Abu Dhabi.

“ The moment before they called my name, I was really nervous because the other finalists’
presentations are really good and I thought they would win, ” Kara Fan, 14, who has won America’ s
Top Young Scientist, told Yahoo Finance. “ When they announced my name, I was really surprised
actually. ”
To win that claim, Fan’ s nano-particle liquid bandage had to surpass the experiments of
hundreds of fifth to eighth graders as well as nine other finalists. Fan started developing her liquid
bandage in April 2019 to fight the overuse of antibiotics(抗生素).
According to the CDC, roughly 2 million people every year suffer a bacterial infection in the U.
S. and about 23, 000 passed away as a result. If left alone, a UN study reported, drug- resistant diseases
or the “ superbug” could lead to 10 million deaths across the globe by 2050. When Fan’ s sprayable
bandage dries on a person’ s skin, it creates a thin layer that protects the wounded area while breaking
the cell wall and killing the bacteria on the skin. After experimenting with copper nitrate(硝酸铜) to
fight bacteria, switching to the silver nitrate ended up being the major catalyst (催化剂) to seeing
results for her award-winning project.
“ Thousands of years ago, ancient people would use copper and silver to eat with and they would
drink water from like copper bowls to kill bacteria, ” Fan explained. “ I found out that it didn’t work.
So I used nano silver. ”
Sir Alexander Fleming’ s discovery of penicillin— a type of antibiotic— is Fan’ s favorite
scientific discovery. That said she doesn’ t think humans should rely too heavily on penicillin.
Following her years at Westview High School, Fan hopes to continue her biology track at
Stanford University. Along with the ＄ 25, 000 cash prize she won on October 29, becoming
Amer-ica’ s Top Young Scientist may help get the private university’ s attention.8. How did Kara Fan feel about her winning the prize?
A. Confident. B. Regretful.
C. Proud. D. Unexpected.
9. For what purpose did Fan develop her liquid bandage?
A. To fight overuse of antibiotics. B. To enter a national contest.
C. To reduce deaths from injuries. D. To get into a good university.
10. Which of the following does Fan use to kill bacteria?
A. Copper nitrate. B. Copper.
C. Silver. D. Nano silver.
11. What might be Fan’ s opinion about penicillin？
A. Addictive. B. Valuable.
C. Useless. D. Irreplaceable.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了美国最佳青年科学家奖的卡拉·范发明液体绷带的故事。

可知，卡拉·范说：“当他们宣布我的名字时，我真的很惊讶”，由此可知，卡拉·范对自己
的获奖感到很意外，故 D 项正确。
【9 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Fan started developing her liquid bandage in April 2019 to fight the
overuse of antibiotics”可知，卡拉·范于 2019 年 4 月开始发明液体绷带，以对抗抗生素的过
度使用，故 A 项正确。
【10 题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“ Thousands of years ago, ancient people would use copper and silver
to eat with and they would drink water from like copper bowls to kill bacteria, ” Fan explained. “ I
found out that it didn’t work. So I used nano silver. ”可知，范解释说：“几千年前，古人会用铜和
银吃饭，他们会喝铜碗里的水来杀灭细菌。”，但我发现这不起作用，所以我用了纳米银（来
杀菌），故 D 项正确。
【11 题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Sir Alexander Fleming’ s discovery of penicillin— a type of
antibiotic— is Fan’ s favorite scientific discovery.”可知，亚历山大弗莱明发现的青霉素是范最喜
欢的科学发现，由此可知，范认为青霉素是有价值的，故 B 项正确。

Rainbow -coloured rubbish is the colourful waste created by a Swedish city with a unique
recycling system. Like many cities in Sweden, Eskilstuna has an impressive recycling record. It met
the EU’ s 2020 target of recycling 50％ of waste many years ago. But almost everyone who lives
here follows a strict recycling policy at home. People are expected to sort their household waste into
seven separate categories, including food, textiles, cartons and metal. But what really makes the
system stand out is the bright colour code.
The reason for this becomes clear at the city’ s recycling plant. The bags arrive all jumbled up
because they’ re collected altogether, once a fortnight from outside people’ s houses. But thanks to
those bright colours, scanners can select the bags and separate them efficiently. The food waste in
green bags is processed on site into slurry(浆) to make biogas, which powers the city’ s buses. One of
the benefits of this method of recycling is that there is less cross-pollution,so more of the recycled
waste can actually be used to make new things.
Like the rest of Sweden, Eskilstuna is committed to sending zero waste from its citizens to
landfill(垃圾堆) . Waste that cannot be recycled is incinerated at a local plant to generate electricity.
This reduces reliance on fossil fuels, but does create greenhouse gases. As countries a-round the world
try to improve their recycling rates, some may look to Eskilstuna as an example to follow— as long as
they think they can persuade their citizens to get busy sorting at home.
12. How do people deal with their household waste in Eskilstuna？
A. Sorting and putting it in colourful bags.
B. Dyeing it with different colours.
C. Processing and recycling it at home.
D. Sorting and taking it out every week.
13. What is the advantage of the bright colour code？
A. It avoids cross － pollution entirely.
B. The waste can be stored in a fixed site.
C. It’ s easier to classify the bags of rubbish.D. The city takes on a colorful look.
14. What does the underlined word “ incinerated” mean in the last paragraph？
A. Burnt B. Broken
C. Reused D. Washed
15. Which of the following is the best title of the text？
A. Tips on Sorting of Household Waste.
B. A Swedish City’ s Recycling Efforts.
C. A Unique Waste Recycling Plan.
D. A New Policy for Conservation.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. B

本文是一篇新闻报道，介绍了瑞典城市埃斯科特纳独特的垃圾分类办法——用不同颜色的袋
子区分不同种类的垃圾。
【12 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“People are expected to sort their household waste into seven
separate categories, including food, textiles, cartons and metal. But what really makes the system
stand out is the bright colour code.”可知， 埃斯科特纳的居民将他们的生活垃圾分为七类，包括
食品、纺织品、纸箱和金属，但真正让这个系统脱颖而出的是明亮的颜色代码，再根据第二
段中的“The bags arrive all jumbled up because they’re collected altogether, once a fortnight from
outside people' s houses.”可知，每两个星期，居民家门口的这些袋子就会被一起运到垃圾处
理厂，由此可知，埃斯科特纳的居民把生活垃圾分类放在不同颜色的袋子里，故 A 项正确。
【13 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But thanks to those bright colours, scanners can select the bags and
separate them efficiently.”可知，由于这些明亮的颜色，扫描仪可以有效地把它们分开，由此

词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“Waste that cannot be recycled”可知，这些垃圾是不能回收的，
再根据画线词后的“to generate electricity.”可知，它们可以被用来产生电能，因此此处是说不
能回收的垃圾在当地的工厂焚烧以产生电能，由此可知画线词词义为“焚烧”，故A 项正确。【15 题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第一段中的“Rainbow -coloured rubbish is the colourful waste
created by a Swedish city with a unique re-cycling system.”可知，本文要介绍的是瑞典城市埃斯
科特纳独特的垃圾分类办法——用不同颜色的袋子区分不同种类的垃圾，B 项（一个瑞典城市
的回收工作）适合作文章标题。故选 B。
【点睛】词义猜测题的难度较大，抓住画线词的上下文是关键，因为其往往会对画线词词义
起到解释说明或暗示作用，例如本篇第 3 题，根据画线词前的“Waste that cannot be recycled”
可知，这些垃圾是不能回收的，再根据画线词后的“to generate electricity.”可知，它们可以被
用来产生电能，因此此处是说不能回收的垃圾在当地的工厂焚烧以产生电能，由此可知画线
词词义为“焚烧”，故A 项正确。

本文是一篇说明文，介绍了印度胡里节的时间、精神以及庆祝活动。
【36 题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：印度、尼泊尔和南亚许多地区都过胡里节。陈述的是客观事实，主语 It
与 celebrate 之间是被动关系，所以用一般现在时的被动语态，且谓语动词用单数，故填 is
celebrated。
【37 题详解】
考查介词。句意：在英国也有很多胡里节的庆祝活动，由大型的英属印度教社区组织。根据
“organized”可知此处用被动语态，community 是 organize 这一动作的主体，故填 by。
【38 题详解】
考查副词。句意：每年的日期都会随着满月的变化而变化，但通常是在 3 月，有时是在 2 月
下旬。修饰介词短语“in March”用副词，故填 normally。
【39 题详解】
考查序数词。句意：它的庆祝活动早在五世纪就开始了。根据句意可知此处表示“第五”，故
填 fifth。
【40 题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：每年，大批的人前往伦敦和全国各地参加胡里节活动。crowds of 是固
定短语，表示“成群的”，故填crowds。
【41 题详解】
考查非限定性定语从句。句意：音乐节上有泼漆派对，还有像五公里彩车赛跑这样的比赛，35
个不同的国家都举办五公里彩车赛跑。此处为非限定性定语从句，关系词指代先行词 the
five-kilometre‘Colour Run’并在从句中作主语，故填 which。
【42 题详解】
考查主语从句。句意：不管你是富人、穷人、老人还是年轻人，每个人都可以互相泼颜料粉。
分析句子结构可知本句中 it 作形式主语，真正的主语是后面的从句，根据句意可知此处表示
“是否”，故填whether/if。【43 题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：他们来的时候穿着白色 T 恤，回家的时候从头到脚都被泼上了颜色
鲜艳的颜料粉。分析句子结构可知此处使用非谓语动词，They 与 cover 之间是逻辑上的动宾
关系，表示被动，用过去分词作状语，故填 covered。
【44 题详解】
考查名词。句意：胡里节传递一种团结和平等的精神。此处与 togetherness 并列用名词作介词
of 的宾语，根据句意可知此处表示“平等”，故填equality。
【45 题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这是一个原谅别人、修复破碎关系的时刻，也是一个与他人见面、
玩耍和娱乐的时刻。time 后用不定式作后置定语，表示“……的时刻”，故填to forgive。

There was once a wonderful old man who loved everything: animals, spiders, insects and allsorts
of living things.
One day while walking through the woods, the old man found a cocoon(茧) . He decided to take
the cocoon home to watch its beautiful transformation from a little cocoon to a beautiful butterfly.
A few days later, the cocoon started to move. It moved frantically! He sat and watched it struggle
and struggle for several hours. But it seemed not to make any progress. Then the old man felt sorry for
the little butterfly inside, and rushed to its aid. With a pair of scissors and gently, he cut a little opening
in the cocoon so the butterfly could come out. And then the butterfly came out of its cocoon. It had a
swollen body and small, fragile wings, but it never was able to fly.
He was quite puzzled. Had he accidentally killed the little butterfly? No, it was still moving a
little bit. Maybe it was sick. Then he decided that the best thing he could do for the butterfly was to
place it gently back into its cocoon. He did so, and placed a drop of honey on it to seal the cocoon,
leaving the butterfly to nestle (筑巢) in its natural state.
The next day he noticed that the cocoon was moving again. It struggled and struggled. Finally the
butterfly broke free from its cocoon and stretched its wings out. Its beautiful wings were filled with
wonderful colors! It took off! It was flying!
The wonderful butterfly flew and flew till it was almost out of the old man’ s sight. What a joy, he
exclaimed! But then he started to think: what did I do wrong by trying to help that beautiful little
butterfly out at first?
Finally the answer came out.

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Finally the answer came out. What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand
was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny
opening were Nature's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it
would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were allowed to go through our life
without any obstacles and difficulties, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could
have been. And we could never fly. In fact, it is necessary to live with some difficulties. And it is these
obstacles and difficulties that make us strong and get prepared for the greater challenges in our life.
