二、阅读理解(共4题,共 20分)

26、Driving to a friend’s house on a recent evening, I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friend’s rooftop. I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking about what a pity it is that most city people --- myself included --- usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors.

My friend had also seen it. He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. It had touched much of his life.

I know the feeling. Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends. We stayed in a forest rest house with no electricity or running hot water. Our group had campfires outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside. The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. It was one of the quietest places I have ever known, a bottomless well of silence. And above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply.

Today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fiber-glass. We have television, cell phones, electricity, heaters and ovens and air-conditioners, cars, computers.

Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of it spent indoors, I thought, “Before long, I would like to live in a small cottage. There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains. And perhaps write, but not in anger. I may become an old man there, and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons. But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touched the moon.”

1The best title for the passage would be _________.

A. Break away from Modern life

B. Touched by the Moon

C. A Bottomless well of Silence

D. The Pleasures of Modern Life

2The writer felt sorry for himself because __________.

A. there was too much pollution.

B. there were too many accidents on the road.

C. he failed to see the fullest moon.

D. he didn’t adapt to modern inventions

3Modern things are mentioned mainly to ___________.

A. show that the writer likes city life very much.

B. explain that people have less chances to enjoy nature.

C. tell us that people greatly benefit from modern life.

D. show that we can also enjoy nature at home through them.

4The author wrote the passage to __________.

A. show the love for the moonlight.

B. want to communicate longing for modern life.

C. advise modern people to learn to live.

D. express the feeling of returning to nature.

 

27、If you’re still confused about which are the best charities to donate to, then continue reading further. These charities have a respectable track record, meaning you can be assured that the money you donate is used for the cause that you support.

United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF)   

It is a branch that operates under the United Nation. UNICEF is engaged in various charitable activities around the world. They fund educational programs for children in remote areas of poor countries, provide meals and health care services, and help prevent child abuse (虐待儿童) while assisting kids in conflict and disaster zones.

World Wildlife Fund (WWF)

If you’re a wildlife lover and would like to prevent extinction of rare animal species while helping conservation of precious plants and animals, donate to WWF. In fact, WWF has various creative ways to donate. You can “adopt” an endangered elephant or tiger or another animal that WWF is trying to prevent from extinction. Or you can donate a small amount of money every month or annually to WWF.

United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)

Anyone who watches or reads news is aware of countless conflicts going on around the world and a large number of refugees (难民). Generally, these refugees are children, women and men who are living in areas now troubled by wars. You can help relieve some of the sufferings of these persons by donating to UNHCR. They help refugees by providing food, clothing, shelter, heath care and other basic necessities.

28、   Blue Planet II's latest episode(一集) focuses on how plastic is having a disastrous effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trenchhave plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, the oceans are drowning in plastic

Though it seems now that the world couldn't possibly function without plastics plastics used by consumers are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s; the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science

We put all these plastics into the environment and we still don't really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 speciesincluding endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent

And it's not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning to the same degree as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers (否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we don't have to remake our planet energy system

This is not a problem where we don't know what the solution is. We know how to pick up garbageAnyone can do itWe know how to dispose (处理) of it. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use plastic products. Things may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag. But when taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference

1Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science?

A.The plastics pollution research is too difficult

B.Plastics have produced less pollution than coal

C.The world couldn't possibly function without plastics

D.Plastics have gained in popularity too fast for science to catch up

2How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3?

A.By statistics

B.By quotations from leading experts

C.By using examples from his own experience

D.By comparison and contrast

3What can we infer about climate change ?

A.Climate change is caused by human activities

B.Climate change is not as simple as ocean pollution

C.Climate change is less important than ocean pollution

D.Ocean plastic is more complicated than climate change

4What is the main idea of this passage?

A.Ocean pollution is a global issue

B.The oceans become choked with plastic

C.Blue Planet II has left viewers heartbroken

D.Plastics gain in popularity all over the world

29、Art is all around us. It can be found everywhere, including fancy galleries, people’s living rooms, and on the sides of buildings. So, why is art important?

It promotes expression and creativity. As humans, we’re naturally drawn to art as a form of expression and communication. 【1】 It’s a way for them to express themselves before they’re able to speak. In fact, participation in the arts may even assist kids with language, motor skills, and visual learning development.

【2】. When someone applies for a job, there are certain skills they need to have like data analysis or bookkeeping. However, many employers also understand the very important need for the skills which are hard to measure and often difficult to define. Some examples include a person’s ability to adapt to change, think creatively, or collaborate with team members.

It provides historical context. 【3】. This is why people dedicate their lives to studying cave art, Shakespearean plays, and so much more. When we take the time to dive into art created in the past, we can learn about other generations and eras. We can study art to find out what those before us were facing and how they overcame it. 【4】.

In therapy (疗法) settings, art also provides an opportunity for digging deeper and expressing emotions that are difficult to discuss. 【5】. In one important study, children between 6 and 12 were asked to draw a house as a distraction after thinking about something upsetting. This group was able to improve their mood when compared with children who were instructed to draw the negative event or simply copy another drawing.

A.These are its major benefits.

B.Children love to draw, sing, and dance.

C.It helps all of us develop necessary soft skills.

D.How does it have an impact on our life?

E.Similarly, future generations will learn about our current events by the art we leave behind.

F.Art and human history go hand-in-hand.

G.It can help people lift their spirits.
