(A)
The earth is about 4,600 million years old. Modern man has lived on the earth for only
35,000 years, but during that time, we have changed our planet in many ways. Many of the things
that we have done are good, but more are not good for the earth.
Water pollution
A lot of people, birds and fish die each day because of water pollution. Factories have
polluted the land and the water. As a result, many rivers and lakes are now dead.
Air pollution
In big cities, factories, as well as cars, trucks and buses are the main cause of air pollution.
Many people in cities now have serious health problems. For example, Mexico city used to be a
beautiful sunny capital, but today it is always covered by thick brown clouds.
Soil pollution
In order to have a good harvest, most of the farmers use chemicals too much in their fields.
That’s bad for the soil. But this kind of pollution is difficult to stop.
Hope for the future
These problems are very serious for our future, so all of us should do something to improve
our environment. If we can stop pollution, our planet will become more and more beautiful and
our health will be better. Let’s be greener people!
( )26._____ have made the earth change a lot.

Stop and listen! What do you hear? You may hear many different sounds. Some of those
sounds may be noise. Noise is a loud or unwanted sound.
Noise can be caused by many kinds of machines, such as motorcycles, jet planes (喷气式飞
机), farm tractors, and power motors. And, to some people, rock music is also a noise.
What happens to people who live near noisy machines or use them over a period of time?
Doctors have found that these people have trouble in sleeping. And most importantly, constant (连
续的) loud noise can cause loss of hearing.
Scientists use a unit of measure called a decibel(分贝) to measure the loudness of a sound.
The sound of a quiet room, for example, measures 35 decibels. Talking measures between 40 and
65 decibels. Sounds from traffic and from some rock bands measure over 120 decibels. Noise at
such high level causes the greatest hearing loss.
根据短文内容,判断正(T)误(F)。
( )31.According to the passage, noise is all sounds that you can hear.
( )32.A “decibel” is a machine that makes loud noise.
( )33.Loud noise can help people sleep better.
( )34.Not all people think that rock music is a noise.
( )35.We can infer (推断) from the passage that noise is a serious problem.

was like. After that, she asked her students, “What is water?” No one answered for a few minutes.
Miss Li asked again, “Why don’t you answer my question? Didn’t I tell you what water is like?”
Just then, a boy put up his hand and said, “Miss Li, you told us that water has no color and no
smell. But where to find such kind of water? The water in the river behind my house is always
black and it has a bad smell.” Most of the children agreed with him.
“I’m sorry, children,” said the teacher, “our water is getting dirtier and dirtier. That’s a serious
problem.”

get fresh water from the sea by heating the sea water. This way costs more money, but it works
faster than the sun.

other ways. One way is to cool the sea water below zero. The fresh water will turn into ice first.

第二部分 基础知识运用
Ⅰ. 1.A 根据答语判断,本题考查带有“for+一段时间”的完成时态。
2.D 现在完成时表示从过去某一时刻延续到现在的一段时间,往往用 for,since 短语来
表示。for+一段时间,since+过去时间点或从句,所以根据 ten years ago 选择 D 项。
3.B much too 后接形容词、副词; too many 后接可数名词复数; too much 后接不可数名
词, pollution 是一个不可数名词,故选 B。
4.D 本题考查 at least 和 no+adj.(比较级)+than,表达的含义是“至少它不比你买给我的
(花)差。”
5.B stand 作及物动词,意为“忍耐,容忍”后接名词、代词或动名词作宾语。
6.C 本题考查 make sb. do sth. 这一结构。
7.B 动词(组)作主语,应用其动名词-ing 形式。
8.B 本题主要考查 yet 在现在完成时态中的运用,yet 用于否定句和疑问句中,already
用于肯定句中。
9.B There be+sth./sb. doing sth. 为固定句型,意为“有某人或某物正在……”。
10.A see+宾语+doing,表示“看到某动作正在进行”。
Ⅱ.11.Where have you been?
12.How did you go there?
13.Have you ever been there before?
14.Whom did you travel with?
15.How long have you been away?
Ⅲ.16.A see 看,throw 扔,drop 丢,clean 弄干净,根据题意此处选 A。
17.D 本句的题意: 我能在三分钟内走到那儿。in three minutes 表示 3 分钟内,故选 D。
18.C 本题考查 so … that … 句型,表示“如此……以至于……”。本句题意: 但是有一天,
这儿有那么多的垃圾,让我很不高兴。故选 C。
19.B 本题考查系动词+形容词。根据题意可知: feel happy 感到高兴。
20.A 本句分析句子结构,有一个介词短语 after I started to pick up litter 修饰 ten minutes
来作时间的定语,指“捡了十分钟的垃圾后”。所以选 A。
21.C 由 four times a year 一年四次,表示频度,可看出此处时态用一般现在时。
22.D 从全文来看,作者为了保护环境而去捡垃圾,这件事不是让“我”感到累、难过、
有趣,而是一种责任和成就感。所以此处选择 D 项。
23.C any 在此处表示“任一”,本句含义是“如果垃圾中有任何能够回收再利用的,我
都把它留下来”。A、B 两项均修饰可数名词,而 litter 是不可数名词,D 项不符合
题意。
24.A until 后跟短暂性动词,表示“直到……才”,从题意来看只有 A 项符合。
25.B 根据题意“我只是做了一点事去帮助地球”。此处是用不定式短语来作补语。
Ⅳ.(A)
26.A 从第一段 We have changed our planet in many ways. 得知人类使地球改变了很多。
27.B 文章中主要讲述了水、空气和土壤三个方面的污染。
28.A 本题考查了反意疑问句的答语。根据语法,C、D 两项首先排除。B 项意为“是的,
不严重。”根据全文及生活常识,污染已成为世界上最大的问题之一,因此 B 项排
除。
29.A 由第一段最后一句可知,我们的所作所为 more are not good for the earth。故选 A。
30.B 墨西哥城由于严重的空气污染已失去了往日的美丽,故 A 项排除。现在不是很少
的农民使用农药,而是大部分,故 C 项排除。工厂、汽车等引起的是空气污染而
不是土地污染,故 D 项排除。
(B)
31.F 文章第一段的结尾 Noise is a loud or unwanted sound. 已讲明了什么是噪音。本题
陈述与原文不符,故为错误。
32.F 从文中第四段首句可得知分贝是测量声音的单位。本题陈述的内容与原文不符,
故为错误。
33.F 从第三段 Doctors have found that these people have trouble in sleeping. 一句中可得
到答案。
34.T not all部分否定,意为“并非所有的都”。这个问题在And, to some people, rock music
is also a noise. 一句中得到答案。

Saving the Earth
How to protect the environment has become one of the biggest problems in the world. There
are many kinds of pollutions around us, such as air pollution, noise pollution, water pollution and
light pollution. We can find that rubbish not only pollutes our environment but also harms people’s
health. So we should not throw rubbish everywhere. Some factories pour waste water into the
rivers and the lakes. The behavior of these factories will pollute the water, and sometimes it can
kill the fish living in them.
We have only one earth. We must keep our environment clean and tidy. We must try our best
to protect her, and make our home more beautiful.
