第二部分　閱讀（共兩節(jié)，滿分50分）
第一節(jié)（共15小題；每小題2.5分，滿分37.5分）
　　閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳選項。
　　A
　　Many fruit trees and bushes are very simple to plant using no equipment except some potting soil and a heating equipment.In fact， you can get a handful of cuttings for free from a friend during pruning （修剪） season and end up with a whole home-made fruit farm.
　　Grapes
　　They are the first easy species on my list because they will grow in most parts of the US and are easy to root from hardwood cuttings.Hardwood cuttings are pieces of one-year-old wood taken in the late winter before the buds start to grow.
　　Figs
　　They are just easy to root， but I put them second on my list because northerners will have a hard time keeping the plants alive.If you live party way north， you can grow figs as long as you choose a cold-hardy variety.
　　Rabbiteye blueberries
　　They are an example of another kind of self-rooting plant.After a few years， it will begin to send up suckers from near the base.The suckers that are at least a few inches away from the parent plant will generally grow roots a year after emerging， at which point you can dig down until you’ve found several roots.
　　Gooseberries
　　They are simple because they just about root themselves.If you allow （or force） one branch to grow along the ground， then cover part of the branch with rich soil， roots will grow on the underwater part.Cut their stems off next year and you’ll have one or more gooseberry plants to set out elsewhere.
　　
21.What makes grapes the first easy species on the author’s list？
A.Their high production. B.Their delicious and special taste.
C.Their great economic value. D.Their strong adaptability to grow.
22.When will you get new gooseberry plants？
A.After growing along the ground. B.Before covering part of the branch.
C.After cutting their stems the next year. D.Before roots grow on the underwater part.
23.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear？
A.Science. B.Gardening.
C.Fashion. D.Entertainment.

　　Zhu Dejun’s first job after graduating from college was as a road design engineer in his home town， Alshaa League， North Chin’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region （內(nèi)蒙古自治區(qū)）.In 2011， when Zhu was conducting a road survey along with his colleagues， he saw a plant that he didn’t recognize.Later， Zhu learned that the plant was a saxaul （灌木梭梭） tree which is an excellent tree species for sand fixation and afforestation （造林） in desert areas.Known as a desert guardian， a fully grown saxaul tree can hold together a 10-square-meter patch of desert land， according to Zhu.
　　Zhu quit his job at the design institute in 2014 and joined a non-profit organization， the Society of Entrepreneurs and Ecology Conservation， or SEE， in the same year， concentrating on dealing with desertification （沙漠化）.During the past eight years， Zhu has been leading a team from SEE to plant saxaul trees in sandy areas in Alshaa League and other places of Inner Mongolia.
　　In 2014， the SEE launched a project titled “one million saxaul trees”， aiming to reach that number from 2014 to 2023， turning the desert of more than 133，330 hectares （公頃） back into a satisfying ecosystem.By the end of 2018， half of the organization’s goal had been achieved.In 2016， Ant Finance cooperated with SEE to introduce the Ant Forest platform， not only encouraging people to choose “a low-carbon way” of shopping， traveling and living， but also to help control desertification.
　　Through the participation of a greater number of online users， who grow virtual trees， the SEE Foundation， set up in 2008， has been providing subsidies （補(bǔ)助金） for local herdsmen and farmers while also offering technological support to plant saxaul trees in desert areas.Now， Zhu is the head of the foundation’s project to fight desertification.He also gives lectures about saxaul trees and the fight against desertification at schools， hoping to raise awareness among young people.
24.What did Zhu Dejun do first after graduation？
A.He researched on saxaul trees. B.He joined a non-profit organization.
C.He found ways to fight desertification. D.He focused on road design engineering.
25.Why are saxaul trees planted by Zhu’s team？
A.They are easily taken care of. B.They can grow fast in deserts.
C.They are perfect for holding water. D.They can fight desertification effectively.
26.What did SEE do to control desertification？
A.They teamed up with Ant Finance. B.They planted one million saxaul trees.
C.They held online lectures on desertification. D.They encouraged donation from online users.
27.How can online users help Zhu’s team？
A.By providing subsidies. B.By raising awareness.
C.By planting trees online. D.By offering technological support.

　　Fires sweeping across the Amazon grabs global headlines every year as scientists and environmental groups are worried that they will make climate change crisis worse and threaten biodiversity.
　　As the largest rainforest in the world， the Amazon is often called the “l(fā)ung of the world”.It is also home to about 3 million species of the plants and animals， and 1 million local people.The vast rainforest plays an important role in the world’s ecosystem because they absorb heat instead of it being reflected back into the atmosphere.They also store carbon dioxide and produce oxygen， ensuring that less carbon is released， mitigating the effects of climate change.
　　“Any forest destruction is a threat to biodiversity and the people who use that biodiversity，”Thomas Lovejoy， an ecologist at George Mason University told National Geographic.“The great threat is that a lot of carbon goes into the atmosphere，”he stressed.“In the global climate crisis， we cannot afford more damage to a major source of oxygen and biodiversity.The Amazon must be protected，”UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said.
　　Data from the National Institute for Space Research （INPE） show that the number of forest fires in Brazil quickly increased by 82 per cent from January to August this year from a year ago.A total of 71， 497 forest fires were recorded in the country in the first eight months of 2019， up from 39，194 in the same period in 2018， INPE said.“We figure that the forest areas in the Brazilian Amazon have decreased something between 20 and 30 per cent compared to the last 12 months，”Carlos Nobre， a researcher at the University of Sao Paulo， told German broadcaster Deutsche Welle.
　　Brazil owns about 60 per cent of the Amazon rainforest， whose damage could have severe results for global climate and rainfall.The extent of the area ruined by fires has yet to be determined， but the emergency has transcended （超出） Brazil’s borders， reaching Peruvian， Paraguayan and Bolivian regions.
28.Which of the following best explains the underlined word “mitigating” in Paragraph 2？
A.Worsening. B.Causing.
C.Easing. D.Benefiting.
29.What can we learn from Thomas’s and Antonio’s words？
A.The biodiversity makes the rainforest unique.
B.The rainforest fires result in serious consequences.
C.The global climate crisis brings more rainforest fires.
D.The dry weather leads to the rainforest fires.
30.Why does the author list the numbers in Paragraph 4？
A.To present the reduction of rainforest areas. B.To show the influence of forest fires.
C.To explain the reasons of forest fires. D.To prove the importance of rainforest.
31.Which section of a magazine is this text probably taken from？
A.Sports and music. B.Science and technology.
C.Business and culture. D.Nature and geography.

　　We all like cleanness but could we be cleaning things too much？Do we really need to throw everything into the washing machine after a day’s wearing？What about our car， hands， hair or even our jeans？
　　Car：There are some signs that you are washing your car too much.One is that your wax doesn’t last.Another is that you see small cracks all over the car called spiderwebbing.These microscopic hairline scratches are often caused by over-washing an unprotected surface.Another sign of over-washing is that the car has a generally dull finish.You should really only wash your car a few times a month.
　　Your hands：We are a society obsessed （著迷的） with antibacterial soaps， washes and sanitizers.This can cause other issues like overly dry skin， cracks in the hands， or even resistance to certain bacteria.While it is still important to always wash your hands with soap and water after using the restroom and before eating or preparing food， too much hand washing may do more harm than good.
　　Hair：We all love clean and fresh-smelling hair but how much is too much？Only a small group needs to wash daily， like those with very fine hair， someone who exercises a lot， or someone living in a very wet place.Washing gets rid of the hair and scalp’s natural oils.For those with oily or dry scalps， more frequent washing is recommended but those with thick or curly hair can go longer.
　　Jeans：Jeans should be washed as little as possible.When they are washed， you take them to your local cleaners to be dry-cleaned.This will ensure a longer life of those jeans， and you won’t have to struggle quite so much to put on them on your second and third wear！
32.What’s the negative effect if you wash your hands too much？
A.It’ll waste water. B.It’ll help develop bad habits.
C.It’ll do harm to the hand skin. D.It’ll increase the bacteria on hands.
33.What’s the best frequency of washing your hair according to the text？
A.It depends. B.Every day.
C.Every other day. D.Four times a month.
34.Why does the author advise us to dry-clean jeans？
A.It’s cheaper to dry-clean jeans. B.It can help keep the shape of the jeans.
C.It’s the most common washing method. D.It can protect the jeans from being broken.
35.What can be a suitable title for the text？
A.Wash Your Goods Until Necessary B.Things You Are Probably Washing Too Much
C.Washing Too Often Might Protect Your Items D.Ways of Using the Washing Machine Correctly

　　In many people’s eyes， plants are quiet and passive.They can’t talk.They can’t walk.　36　.
　　Or can they？ A new BBC documentary series， The Green Planet， gives us a new look at plants.Released on Bilibili， it uncovers the wonderful and dramatic ways that plants behave.

　　　38　.In deserts， the roots of Euphrates poplar are connected.If a tree finds water， it will share it with others through the roots.Studies also show that plants use fungus （真菌） in the soil as a way to “talk” to each other.It’s kind of like how Wi-Fi works.　39　.
　　The series not only lets us wonder at the plant world but pushes us to understand that plants are important.“　40　.We depend upon them for every mouth of food that we eat and every breath that we breathe，” said David Attenborough， presenter of the series.It’s time to look after wild plants just as carefully as our houseplants.
A.And they can’t think like us
B.Plants are the basis of all life， including ourselves

　　The Mango Tree — A Friend of All
　　It was a usual cheerful and playful day for Dorothy.The only difference was that her family had shifted to a new apartment.Although she had been in the new house just two days， Dorothy had already started liking her new home very much， not only because of the spacious rooms， but also because of a large mango tree which had lovingly extended its branches across the balcony of her house.The mango tree not only gave a beautiful view but also served as a home for a large number of birds and small animals.Dorothy’s mother was also fond of plants and had kept many potted plants in the balcony.
　　A week passed by.On a Sunday morning， Dorothy was awakened by a loud noise in her neighbourhood.She ran towards the balcony and， to her surprise， found some people chopping （砍） off the beloved mango tree.She ran up to her mother and explained the matter.
　　Dorothy and her mother looked down from the balcony.They saw the women under the guidance of Mr Denver， cutting the mango tree down.Mr Denver was the resident of the ground floor apartment.He said angrily， “Look， I am getting this job done under my expense.This tree is blocking my view.I cannot see my car properly because of this annoying tree.” Dorothy and her mother understood that there was no point in having an argument with Mr Denver.
　　From then on， Dorothy tried all possible ways to take her revenge （報復(fù)） against Mr Denver for cutting her beloved mango tree.She did many tricks such as sticking the gum on his calling bell， pouring sugar in his balcony to attractants， jumping on the floor to create noise， etc.
　　Days passed by.One morning， as Dorothy was helping her mother water the potted plants kept in the balcony， she couldn’t take her eyes away from the fresh green leaves coming from the injured mango tree.Dorothy couldn’t hold her excitement and started jumping with delight.

M：I’d like to mail this package to California.
W：Fill out this form with the required information. You can do this at the side counter. Pens are available there.
（Text 2）
M：Would you like to join us for dinner tonight， Betty？
W：I’d love to. Where are we going？
M：Oh， Jake made a reservation at a restaurant near my home.
（Text 3）
W：Do you think the weather will be good this weekend？
M：I heard it might rain.
W：That’s a pity. I’d thought about going hiking in the hills.
M：Well， we can go to that new art gallery instead.
（Text 4）
M：This book is really interesting. I’ve enjoyed it very much.
W：What is it？ Is it a novel？
M：No， it’s a medical book. It’s been very popular recently， even though there’s obviously boring subject matter.
W：Really？ I don’t think I’d enjoy anything on such a boring topic， even if it is useful. I much prefer science fiction， especially about what life might be like in the future.
（Text 5）
M：Hey， you look great！ How did you get in such good shape？
W：I’ve been going to the club regularly， and the training has really paid off. I’m in better shape than I have been for years and I know much more about how to keep fit.
M：I haven’t gone to the club for weeks. I am too busy with work.
W：I know. It’s so easy to be too busy for exercise， but I’ve realized that exercise is extremely important to every other aspect of life.
（Text 6）
M：Do you often shop online？
W：Oh， yes， quite often. It is very convenient， and it saves me a lot of time.
M：You know， I’ve never tried online shopping before. I’d like to try， but I’m a bit nervous I’ll make a mistake.
W：Ah， you are talking to the right person. If you keep two very important tips in mind， you’ll be fine. First， visit more than one site to find the best products and prices. I can tell you some of the best online shops. Second， when you finally place your order， be sure to write your mailing address and phone number correctly， or you might not receive your delivery on time.
M：So what do I do if I want to buy something？
W：You just need to provide your name， mailing address， e-mail address， phone number and bank card information. I can help you with that.
M：Oh， thank you！ That is so nice of you.
（Text 7）
W：Why weren’t you at the Spanish class last night， Jack？ Have you decided to give up？
M：No. I came back late yesterday and found John asleep in his chair. He’d been writing a report all day long and he was too tired to go out again. So we gave the lesson a miss.
W：You’ve missed quite a lot of lessons recently， haven’t you？ Are you losing interest？
M：Yes， I’m afraid so. Neither I nor John has a gift for language. People just laugh at us when we attempt to speak Spanish. How did you and Jane pick it up so quickly and easily？ You’ve been in Spain for hardly a month.
W：It wasn’t all that quick. We’d both studied the language before we came， and we needed a lot of review before we came back.
M：Anyway， all our friends here speak English very well， so we don’t really need to learn Spanish.
（Text 8）
M：I am having trouble with my job. Five of my colleagues and I have been working on a project since last Wednesday.
W：Is the project too hard？
M：No， it’s not all that hard but no one is working together on it.
W：So your group is having a problem with teamwork.
M：Yes. We have to finish it before next Friday， only ten days from now.
W：Is there anyone in charge of the team？
M：No. Everyone is just doing their own separate work.
W：If your group doesn’t come together， then no one will know what has been done and what still needs to be done.
M：But how do I get them to work together？
W：If your group does not have a leader， then you should step up and be one.
M：How do I do that？
W：You should call everyone together for a meeting.
M：And then what should I do when I have them all together？
W：Let them know that this project is important， and so is working as a team to get it done.
M：Thank you for the advice. I will call everybody now and tell them we are going to have a meeting in the morning.
（Text 9）
W：Hi there！ What have you been up to lately？
M：I have been looking for a university to apply to.
W：Really？ So have I！
M：Cool！ What term will you apply for？
W：For the fall semester. How about you？
M：I’ll apply for the spring semester. I need to work and earn some money in the next six months.
W：Yeah， college can be very expensive.
M：How are you paying for college？
W：I am getting help from a bank.
M：That’s cool. So have you started filling out any university applications？
W：Yes， I have. The applications take a while！
M：They do， especially all those essays.
W：Yes， those are hard. I’m not really sure what to write about.
M：I’m glad I’m not applying until the spring， so I have more time to prepare.
W：Yeah， you’re lucky you have more time. So do you plan to rent a room near the university you go to？
M：Yes， I plan to rent a room near the university and find a roommate to share the cost， so I can save some money.
W：Oh， really？ My friend Jack wants to do that too. If you’re in the same area， perhaps you could rent a place with him.
M：Oh， that’s wonderful！ Could I get his contact information from you？
W：Sure. I’ll give you his phone number right now.
M：Thanks！

　　Future homes will have some really smart cooking tools. Microwave ovens and refrigerators will probably be combined， so that meals can be ready upon one’s arrival home.
　　Future homes may also have refrigerators that can suggest menus based upon the food you have at home. In the home of the future， the refrigerator will probably also be able to take note of all food supplies in the home and inform you when you’re running out， or even be programmed to contact the local supermarket to drop off the needed food supplies.
　　Future homes will also be very energy-saving. Microsoft， Google and others are now working on applications to help you see and track which tools use the most electricity， helping you save electricity and thus your daily expenses.
　　There will most likely also be systems in place for saving and reusing wash water and bath water， which will probably have to be the main origin of future water， so that both plants and people can still have clean water in the future， when water supplies are low.

21.D　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Grapes中的They are the first ...hardwood cuttings.可知，葡萄成為作者列單上的第一種容易種植的品種是因為它們的生長適應(yīng)性強(qiáng)。
22.C　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Gooseberries中的Cut their stems ...set out elsewhere.可知，種新的醋栗樹可以選擇在第二年剪掉它們的莖后。
23.B　文章出處題。文章介紹了幾種容易種植的果樹，因此這篇文章可能出現(xiàn)在報紙的“園藝”版塊。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了朱德軍以及他的同事們種植灌木梭梭，努力對抗沙漠化，保護(hù)環(huán)境的故事。
24.D　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第一句可知，朱德軍畢業(yè)后專注于道路設(shè)計工程。
25.D　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容可知，朱德軍的團(tuán)隊種植灌木梭梭是為了有效地對抗沙漠化。
26.A　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句可知，SEE與螞蟻金服合作來控制沙漠化。
27.C　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段第一句可知，在線用戶可以通過在線植樹來幫助朱德軍的團(tuán)隊。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。席卷亞馬孫地區(qū)的火災(zāi)使得科學(xué)家們和環(huán)保組織擔(dān)心這會加劇氣候變化危機(jī)，威脅生物多樣性。
28.C　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞前的They also store carbon dioxide and produce oxygen， ensuring that less carbon is released可知，熱帶雨林還儲存二氧化碳并制造氧氣，以確保更少的碳被釋放。結(jié)合常識可知，更少的碳被釋放會減輕氣候變化的影響。因此畫線詞的意思是“減輕”。
29.B　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的Any forest destruction is a threat to biodiversity and the people who use that biodiversity和In the global climate crisis， we cannot afford more damage to a major source of oxygen and biodiversity.The Amazon must be protected可知，亞馬孫森林對于保護(hù)生物多樣性和應(yīng)對氣候變化方面發(fā)揮著重要作用，由此推知，亞馬孫森林火災(zāi)會造成嚴(yán)重的后果。
30.A　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中的數(shù)據(jù)可知，亞馬孫森林火災(zāi)越來越多，亞馬孫地區(qū)的森林面積在不斷減少。
31.D　文章出處題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知，文章主要講了亞馬孫熱帶雨林地區(qū)的火災(zāi)增多，科學(xué)家們和環(huán)保組織擔(dān)心這會加劇氣候變化危機(jī)，威脅生物多樣性。所以這篇文章最有可能來自雜志的“自然與地理”版塊。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了四種不能過度洗滌的東西：汽車、手、頭發(fā)和牛仔褲，并介紹了正確的洗滌頻率。
32.C　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的This can cause other issues like overly dry skin， cracks in the hands， or even resistance to certain bacteria.可知，過度洗手會導(dǎo)致皮膚干燥、裂口，損害手部皮膚。
33.A　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段最后一句可知，對于油性或干性頭皮的人，建議更頻繁地洗頭，但對于頭發(fā)濃密或卷發(fā)的人，建議洗頭時間間隔更長一點(diǎn)。由此可知，洗頭的頻率需要視情況而定。
34.B　推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句可知，干洗可以延長牛仔褲的壽命，并且干洗后的褲子更容易穿進(jìn)去。由此可推知，作者建議我們干洗牛仔褲是因為干洗不會使牛仔褲變形。
35.B　標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)第一段內(nèi)容和下文舉的例子可知，有些東西不宜洗得太頻繁，如汽車、手、頭發(fā)和牛仔褲。因此B項（你可能過度洗滌的東西）最適合作本文的標(biāo)題。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。在許多人看來，植物是安靜和被動的。BBC的一部新紀(jì)錄片《綠色星球》讓我們重新審視了植物。它在Bilibili上發(fā)布，揭示了植物的奇妙和戲劇性的行為方式。
36.A　根據(jù)上文They can’t talk.They can’t walk.可知，A項符合語境，與上文為并列關(guān)系，說明植物不能做的事情。
37.E　根據(jù)語境可知，空處要描寫一些植物是如何努力獲取陽光的。E項符合語境。
38.D　根據(jù)下文share it with others 和“talk” to each other可知，植物也會互相幫助甚至交流。D項符合語境。
39.G　根據(jù)空前一句可知，空處承接上文，具體說明植物是如何交流的。G項符合語境。
40.B　根據(jù)下文We depend upon them ...presenter of the series.可知，植物是所有生命的基礎(chǔ)，也包括人類。B項符合語境。
第三部分
語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。Rajesh Naik通過建立人工湖，把一片不毛之地變成了一個滿是綠色植物的農(nóng)場。
41.B　根據(jù)空后的120 acres of barren （貧瘠的） land into a green ...可知，他改造了一片不毛之地。
42.A　根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容可知，這片不毛之地被改造成了一個綠色農(nóng)場。本段首句中的Oddoor Farms也是提示。
43.D　根據(jù)空后的and this land was his ancestral （祖?zhèn)鞯模?land可知，此處指他來自一個農(nóng)業(yè)世家。
44.A　根據(jù)上文中的barren （貧瘠的） land可知，這是一片貧瘠的土地，人們認(rèn)為他想要開發(fā)這片土地是在冒險。take a risk “冒險”。
45.D　他的計劃是開發(fā)這片土地。
46.C　根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容及空后的he was throwing away his career可知，人們認(rèn)為開發(fā)這片不毛之地是根本不可能的。
47.B　Rajesh雖然聽到了許多反對的聲音，但是，他還是下定決心去改造它。此處需要填入一個表示轉(zhuǎn)折的詞。
48.A　他下定決心去做一些事來開發(fā)這片土地。
49.D　根據(jù)語境并結(jié)合選項可知，此處指他逐漸地想到先去開發(fā)這里的水資源。
50.C　根據(jù)第一段中的by creating a 2-acre and 50-foot-deep lake可知，他挖了一個湖。
51.D　結(jié)合常識可知，湖里蓄的40，000升水是用來灌溉整個農(nóng)場的。
52.B　根據(jù)空后的water table （地下水位）并結(jié)合常識可知，此處指這一做法提高了農(nóng)場周圍地區(qū)的地下水位。
53.A　如果這種模式在全國各地都被復(fù)制的話，整個國家的缺水問題將得到解決。
54.C　整個國家有了充足的水，才可能建立起有機(jī)農(nóng)業(yè)。
55.C　根據(jù)文章首句中的an inspiring example of the efforts可知，這種改造土地的項目取決于人們的意志。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了克隆動物的事情。
56.that/which　考查定語從句。空處引導(dǎo)定語從句，修飾pet cat Nicky，定語從句中缺少主語，故填that/which。
57.for　考查介詞。“for＋時間段”表示持續(xù)了多長時間。故填for。
58.cloned　考查非謂語動詞。此處是“have＋賓語＋賓語補(bǔ)足語”結(jié)構(gòu)，賓語him與動詞clone 之間是被動關(guān)系，所以用動詞-ed形式作賓語補(bǔ)足語。故填cloned。
59.frightened　考查詞形轉(zhuǎn)換。be frightened of意為“害怕……”。故填frightened。
60.it/water　考查代詞或名詞。空處指前面提到的water，故填it/water。
61.owner　考查名詞。此處指他的主人，故填owner。
62.felt　考查動詞的時態(tài)。根據(jù)上文的said可知，此處描述過去的事情，應(yīng)用一般過去時。故填felt。
63.expensive　考查詞形轉(zhuǎn)換。空處作表語，應(yīng)用形容詞。故填expensive。
64.producing　考查非謂語動詞。succeed in doing sth意為“成功做成某事”。故填producing。
65.to meet　考查非謂語動詞。空處在句中作目的狀語，應(yīng)用動詞不定式。故填to meet。
第四部分
第一節(jié)
A Fruit-Picking Tour
　　All the teachers and students of senior one took part in a picking activity organized by our school in the Sunshine Orchard last weekend. On arriving， we saw red ripe peaches hanging on the trees. Using baskets and ladders， we first picked the ones that were the most beautiful in colour， then those that were ripe and soft. Time flying quickly， the activity was over. I was grateful for this opportunity to get close to nature. Not only would I be able to experience fruit picking， but I could also feast on the sweetness！
第二節(jié)
　　Several days later， Dorothy’s parents decided to invite Mr Denver and his family for dinner.After dinner， Dorothy’s father spoke to Mr Denver about the importance of plants in life， saying that plants and trees near a house increases the market value and are good to health.Mr Denver listened very carefully and promised not to cut the mango tree any more.Hearing what Mr Denver said， Dorothy and her parents were very happy.Soon Dorothy’s mother brought a plant from her balcony and handed it to Mr Denver， saying， “This plant will look beautiful in your balcony.”
　　Mr Denver received Dorothy’s mother’s gift warmly with a smile.“Let’s protect the mango tree together.I am sure it will grow well again.And the plant you just gave me will also grow well.” Mr Denver said.Dorothy stood smiling and looking at all these and admired the peaceful way her parents had chosen to save the mango tree.The mango tree， with love and care from all， once again grew back to its original form soon.

（Text 1）
M：I’d like to mail this package to California.
W：Fill out this form with the required information. You can do this
at the side counter. Pens are available there.
（Text 2）
M：Would you like to join us for dinner tonight， Betty？
W：I’d love to. Where are we going？
M：Oh， Jake made a reservation at a restaurant near my home.
（Text 3）
W：Do you think the weather will be good this weekend？
M：I heard it might rain.
W：That’s a pity. I’d thought about going hiking in the hills.
M：Well， we can go to that new art gallery instead.
（Text 4）
M：This book is really interesting. I’ve enjoyed it very much.
W：What is it？ Is it a novel？
M：No， it’s a medical book. It’s been very popular recently， even
though there’s obviously boring subject matter.
W：Really？ I don’t think I’d enjoy anything on such a boring topic，
even if it is useful. I much prefer science fiction， especially about
what life might be like in the future.
（Text 5）
M：Hey， you look great！ How did you get in such good shape？
W：I’ve been going to the club regularly， and the training has really
paid off. I’m in better shape than I have been for years and I know
much more about how to keep fit.
M：I haven’t gone to the club for weeks. I am too busy with work.
W：I know. It’s so easy to be too busy for exercise， but I’ve realized
that exercise is extremely important to every other aspect of life.
（Text 6）
M：Do you often shop online？
W：Oh， yes， quite often. It is very convenient， and it saves me a
lot of time.
M：You know， I’ve never tried online shopping before. I’d like to
try， but I’m a bit nervous I’ll make a mistake.
W：Ah， you are talking to the right person. If you keep two very
important tips in mind， you’ll be fine. First， visit more than one site
to find the best products and prices. I can tell you some of the best
online shops. Second， when you finally place your order， be sure to
write your mailing address and phone number correctly， or you
might not receive your delivery on time.
M：So what do I do if I want to buy something？
W：You just need to provide your name， mailing address， e-mail
address， phone number and bank card information. I can help you
with that.
M：Oh， thank you！ That is so nice of you.
（Text 7）
W：Why weren’t you at the Spanish class last night， Jack？ Have
you decided to give up？
M：No. I came back late yesterday and found John asleep in his chair.
He’d been writing a report all day long and he was too tired to go out
again. So we gave the lesson a miss.
W：You’ve missed quite a lot of lessons recently， haven’t you？ Are
you losing interest？
M：Yes， I’m afraid so. Neither I nor John has a gift for language.
People just laugh at us when we attempt to speak Spanish. How did
you and Jane pick it up so quickly and easily？ You’ve been in Spain
for hardly a month.
W：It wasn’t all that quick. We’d both studied the language before we
came， and we needed a lot of review before we came back.
M：Anyway， all our friends here speak English very well， so we
don’t really need to learn Spanish.
（Text 8）
M：I am having trouble with my job. Five of my colleagues and I have
been working on a project since last Wednesday.
W：Is the project too hard？
M：No， it’s not all that hard but no one is working together on it.
W：So your group is having a problem with teamwork.
M：Yes. We have to finish it before next Friday， only ten days from
now.
W：Is there anyone in charge of the team？
M：No. Everyone is just doing their own separate work.
W：If your group doesn’t come together， then no one will know
what has been done and what still needs to be done.
M：But how do I get them to work together？
W：If your group does not have a leader， then you should step up
and be one.
M：How do I do that？
W：You should call everyone together for a meeting.
M：And then what should I do when I have them all together？
W：Let them know that this project is important， and so is working
as a team to get it done.
M：Thank you for the advice. I will call everybody now and tell them
we are going to have a meeting in the morning.
（Text 9）
W：Hi there！ What have you been up to lately？
M：I have been looking for a university to apply to.
W：Really？ So have I！
M：Cool！ What term will you apply for？
W：For the fall semester. How about you？
M：I’ll apply for the spring semester. I need to work and earn some
money in the next six months.
W：Yeah， college can be very expensive.
M：How are you paying for college？
W：I am getting help from a bank.
M：That’s cool. So have you started filling out any university
applications？
W：Yes， I have. The applications take a while！
M：They do， especially all those essays.
W：Yes， those are hard. I’m not really sure what to write about.
M：I’m glad I’m not applying until the spring， so I have more time
to prepare.
W：Yeah， you’re lucky you have more time. So do you plan to rent a
room near the university you go to？
M：Yes， I plan to rent a room near the university and find a
roommate to share the cost， so I can save some money.
W：Oh， really？ My friend Jack wants to do that too. If you’re in
the same area， perhaps you could rent a place with him.
M：Oh， that’s wonderful！ Could I get his contact information from
you？
W：Sure. I’ll give you his phone number right now.
M：Thanks！
（Text 10）
　　Future homes will have some really smart cooking tools.
Microwave ovens and refrigerators will probably be combined， so
that meals can be ready upon one’s arrival home.
　　Future homes may also have refrigerators that can suggest menus
based upon the food you have at home. In the home of the future， the
refrigerator will probably also be able to take note of all food supplies
in the home and inform you when you’re running out， or even be
programmed to contact the local supermarket to drop off the needed
food supplies.
　　Future homes will also be very energy-saving. Microsoft， Google
and others are now working on applications to help you see and track
which tools use the most electricity， helping you save electricity and
thus your daily expenses.
　　There will most likely also be systems in place for saving and
reusing wash water and bath water， which will probably have to be
the main origin of future water， so that both plants and people can
still have clean water in the future， when water supplies are low.
第二部分　閱讀（共兩節(jié)，滿分50分）
第一節(jié)（共15小題；每小題2.5分，滿分37.5分）
　　閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳
選項。
　　A
　　Many fruit trees and bushes are very simple to plant using no
equipment except some potting soil and a heating equipment.In fact，
you can get a handful of cuttings for free from a friend during pruning
（修剪） season and end up with a whole home-made fruit farm.
　　　Grapes
　They are the first easy species on my list because they will grow in
most parts of the US and are easy to root from hardwood
cuttings.Hardwood cuttings are pieces of one-year-old wood taken in
the late winter before the buds start to grow.
　　Figs
　　They are just easy to root， but I put them second on my list
because northerners will have a hard time keeping the plants alive.If
you live party way north， you can grow figs as long as you choose a
cold-hardy variety.
　　Rabbiteye blueberries
　　They are an example of another kind of self-rooting plant.After a
few years， it will begin to send up suckers from near the base.The
suckers that are at least a few inches away from the parent plant will
generally grow roots a year after emerging， at which point you can
dig down until you’ve found several roots.
　　　Gooseberries
　They are simple because they just about root themselves.If you
allow （or force） one branch to grow along the ground， then cover
part of the branch with rich soil， roots will grow on the underwater
part.Cut their stems off next year and you’ll have one or more
gooseberry plants to set out elsewhere.

　　Zhu Dejun’s first job after graduating from college was as a road
design engineer in his home town， Alshaa League， North Chin’s
Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region （內(nèi)蒙古自治區(qū)）.In 2011，
when Zhu was conducting a road survey along with his colleagues， he
saw a plant that he didn’t recognize.Later， Zhu learned that the
plant was a saxaul （灌木梭梭） tree which is an excellent tree species
for sand fixation and afforestation （造林） in desert areas.Known as
a desert guardian， a fully grown saxaul tree can hold together a 10-
square-meter patch of desert land， according to Zhu.
　　Zhu quit his job at the design institute in 2014 and joined a non-
profit organization， the Society of Entrepreneurs and Ecology
Conservation， or SEE， in the same year， concentrating on dealing
with desertification （沙漠化）.During the past eight years， Zhu has
been leading a team from SEE to plant saxaul trees in sandy areas in
Alshaa League and other places of Inner Mongolia.
　　In 2014， the SEE launched a project titled “one million saxaul
trees”， aiming to reach that number from 2014 to 2023， turning the
desert of more than 133，330 hectares （公頃） back into a satisfying
ecosystem.By the end of 2018， half of the organization’s goal had
been achieved.In 2016， Ant Finance cooperated with SEE to
introduce the Ant Forest platform， not only encouraging people to
choose “a low-carbon way” of shopping， traveling and living， but
also to help control desertification.
　　Through the participation of a greater number of online users，
who grow virtual trees， the SEE Foundation， set up in 2008， has
been providing subsidies （補(bǔ)助金） for local herdsmen and farmers
while also offering technological support to plant saxaul trees in desert
areas.Now， Zhu is the head of the foundation’s project to fight
desertification.He also gives lectures about saxaul trees and the fight
against desertification at schools， hoping to raise awareness among
young people.

　　Fires sweeping across the Amazon grabs global headlines every
year as scientists and environmental groups are worried that they will
make climate change crisis worse and threaten biodiversity.
　　As the largest rainforest in the world， the Amazon is often called
the “l(fā)ung of the world”.It is also home to about 3 million species of the
plants and animals， and 1 million local people.The vast rainforest
plays an important role in the world’s ecosystem because they absorb
heat instead of it being reflected back into the atmosphere.They also
store carbon dioxide and produce oxygen， ensuring that less carbon
is released， mitigating the effects of climate change.
　　“Any forest destruction is a threat to biodiversity and the people
who use that biodiversity，”Thomas Lovejoy， an ecologist at George
Mason University told National Geographic.“The great threat is that a
lot of carbon goes into the atmosphere，”he stressed.“In the global
climate crisis， we cannot afford more damage to a major source of
oxygen and biodiversity.The Amazon must be protected，”UN
Secretary General Antonio Guterres said.
　　Data from the National Institute for Space Research （INPE）
show that the number of forest fires in Brazil quickly increased by 82
per cent from January to August this year from a year ago.A total of
71， 497 forest fires were recorded in the country in the first eight
months of 2019， up from 39，194 in the same period in 2018， INPE
said.“We figure that the forest areas in the Brazilian Amazon have
decreased something between 20 and 30 per cent compared to the last
12 months，”Carlos Nobre， a researcher at the University of Sao
Paulo， told German broadcaster Deutsche Welle.
　　Brazil owns about 60 per cent of the Amazon rainforest， whose
damage could have severe results for global climate and rainfall.The
extent of the area ruined by fires has yet to be determined， but the
emergency has transcended （超出） Brazil’s borders， reaching
Peruvian， Paraguayan and Bolivian regions.

們和環(huán)保組織擔(dān)心這會加劇氣候變化危機(jī)，威脅生物多樣性。
28. Which of the following best explains the underlined word
“mitigating” in Paragraph 2？
A. Worsening. B. Causing.
C. Easing. D. Benefiting.
解析：　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞前的They also store carbon
dioxide and produce oxygen， ensuring that less carbon is released
可知，熱帶雨林還儲存二氧化碳并制造氧氣，以確保更少的碳被
釋放。結(jié)合常識可知，更少的碳被釋放會減輕氣候變化的影響。
因此畫線詞的意思是“減輕”。
29. What can we learn from Thomas’s and Antonio’s words？
A. The biodiversity makes the rainforest unique.
B. The rainforest fires result in serious consequences.
C. The global climate crisis brings more rainforest fires.
D. The dry weather leads to the rainforest fires.
解析：　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的Any forest destruction is
a threat to biodiversity and the people who use that biodiversity和
In the global climate crisis， we cannot afford more damage to a
major source of oxygen and biodiversity.The Amazon must be
protected可知，亞馬孫森林對于保護(hù)生物多樣性和應(yīng)對氣候變化
方面發(fā)揮著重要作用，由此推知，亞馬孫森林火災(zāi)會造成嚴(yán)重的
后果。
30. Why does the author list the numbers in Paragraph 4？
A. To present the reduction of rainforest areas.
B. To show the influence of forest fires.
C. To explain the reasons of forest fires.
D. To prove the importance of rainforest.
解析：　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中的數(shù)據(jù)可知，亞馬孫森林
火災(zāi)越來越多，亞馬孫地區(qū)的森林面積在不斷減少。
31. Which section of a magazine is this text probably taken from？
A. Sports and music.
B. Science and technology.
C. Business and culture.
D. Nature and geography.
解析：　文章出處題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知，文章主要講了亞馬
孫熱帶雨林地區(qū)的火災(zāi)增多，科學(xué)家們和環(huán)保組織擔(dān)心這會加劇
氣候變化危機(jī)，威脅生物多樣性。所以這篇文章最有可能來自雜
志的“自然與地理”版塊。
D
　　We all like cleanness but could we be cleaning things too much？
Do we really need to throw everything into the washing machine after
a day’s wearing？What about our car， hands， hair or even our
jeans？
　　Car：There are some signs that you are washing your car too
much.One is that your wax doesn’t last.Another is that you see small
cracks all over the car called spiderwebbing.These microscopic
hairline scratches are often caused by over-washing an unprotected
surface.Another sign of over-washing is that the car has a generally
dull finish.You should really only wash your car a few times a month.
　　Your hands：We are a society obsessed （著迷的） with
antibacterial soaps， washes and sanitizers.This can cause other issues
like overly dry skin， cracks in the hands， or even resistance to
certain bacteria.While it is still important to always wash your hands
with soap and water after using the restroom and before eating or
preparing food， too much hand washing may do more harm than
good.
　　Hair：We all love clean and fresh-smelling hair but how much is
too much？Only a small group needs to wash daily， like those with
very fine hair， someone who exercises a lot， or someone living in a
very wet place.Washing gets rid of the hair and scalp’s natural oils.For
those with oily or dry scalps， more frequent washing is recommended
but those with thick or curly hair can go longer.
　　Jeans：Jeans should be washed as little as possible.When they are
washed， you take them to your local cleaners to be dry-cleaned.This
will ensure a longer life of those jeans， and you won’t have to
struggle quite so much to put on them on your second and third
wear！

西：汽車、手、頭發(fā)和牛仔褲，并介紹了正確的洗滌頻率。

西：汽車、手、頭發(fā)和牛仔褲，并介紹了正確的洗滌頻率。
32. What’s the negative effect if you wash your hands too much？
A. It’ll waste water.
B. It’ll help develop bad habits.
C. It’ll do harm to the hand skin.
D. It’ll increase the bacteria on hands.
解析：　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的This can cause other
issues like overly dry skin， cracks in the hands， or even
resistance to certain bacteria.可知，過度洗手會導(dǎo)致皮膚干燥、裂
口，損害手部皮膚。
33. What’s the best frequency of washing your hair according to the
text？
A. It depends.
B. Every day.
C. Every other day.
D. Four times a month.
解析：　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段最后一句可知，對于油性或
干性頭皮的人，建議更頻繁地洗頭，但對于頭發(fā)濃密或卷發(fā)的
人，建議洗頭時間間隔更長一點(diǎn)。由此可知，洗頭的頻率需要視
情況而定。
34. Why does the author advise us to dry-clean jeans？
A. It’s cheaper to dry-clean jeans.
B. It can help keep the shape of the jeans.
C. It’s the most common washing method.
D. It can protect the jeans from being broken.
解析：　推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句可知，干洗可以延
長牛仔褲的壽命，并且干洗后的褲子更容易穿進(jìn)去。由此可推
知，作者建議我們干洗牛仔褲是因為干洗不會使牛仔褲變形。
35. What can be a suitable title for the text？
A. Wash Your Goods Until Necessary
B. Things You Are Probably Washing Too Much
C. Washing Too Often Might Protect Your Items
D. Ways of Using the Washing Machine Correctly
解析：　標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)第一段內(nèi)容和下文舉的例子可知，有
些東西不宜洗得太頻繁，如汽車、手、頭發(fā)和牛仔褲。因此B項
（你可能過度洗滌的東西）最適合作本文的標(biāo)題。

　　All the teachers and students of senior one took part in a picking
activity organized by our school in the Sunshine Orchard last
weekend. On arriving， we saw red ripe peaches hanging on the trees.
Using baskets and ladders， we first picked the ones that were the
most beautiful in colour， then those that were ripe and soft. Time
flying quickly， the activity was over. I was grateful for this
opportunity to get close to nature. Not only would I be able to
experience fruit picking， but I could also feast on the sweetness！

　　The Mango Tree — A Friend of All
　　It was a usual cheerful and playful day for Dorothy.The only
difference was that her family had shifted to a new
apartment.Although she had been in the new house just two days，
Dorothy had already started liking her new home very much， not
only because of the spacious rooms， but also because of a large
mango tree which had lovingly extended its branches across the
balcony of her house.The mango tree not only gave a beautiful view
but also served as a home for a large number of birds and small
animals.Dorothy’s mother was also fond of plants and had kept many
potted plants in the balcony.
　　A week passed by.On a Sunday morning， Dorothy was
awakened by a loud noise in her neighbourhood.She ran towards the
balcony and， to her surprise， found some people chopping （砍）
off the beloved mango tree.She ran up to her mother and explained the
matter.
　　Dorothy and her mother looked down from the balcony.They saw
the women under the guidance of Mr Denver， cutting the mango tree
down.Mr Denver was the resident of the ground floor apartment.He
said angrily， “Look， I am getting this job done under my
expense.This tree is blocking my view.I cannot see my car properly
because of this annoying tree.” Dorothy and her mother understood
that there was no point in having an argument with Mr Denver.
　　From then on， Dorothy tried all possible ways to take her
revenge （報復(fù)） against Mr Denver for cutting her beloved mango
tree.She did many tricks such as sticking the gum on his calling bell，
pouring sugar in his balcony to attractants， jumping on the floor to
create noise， etc.
　　Days passed by.One morning， as Dorothy was helping her
mother water the potted plants kept in the balcony， she couldn’t take
her eyes away from the fresh green leaves coming from the injured
mango tree.Dorothy couldn’t hold her excitement and started jumping
with delight.
注意：1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
2. 請按如下格式作答。

參考范文：
　　Several days later， Dorothy’s parents decided to invite Mr
Denver and his family for dinner.After dinner， Dorothy’s father
spoke to Mr Denver about the importance of plants in life， saying
that plants and trees near a house increases the market value and are
good to health.Mr Denver listened very carefully and promised not to
cut the mango tree any more.Hearing what Mr Denver said， Dorothy
and her parents were very happy.Soon Dorothy’s mother brought a
plant from her balcony and handed it to Mr Denver， saying， “This
plant will look beautiful in your balcony.”
　　Mr Denver received Dorothy’s mother’s gift warmly with a
smile.“Let’s protect the mango tree together.I am sure it will grow well
again.And the plant you just gave me will also grow well.” Mr Denver
said.Dorothy stood smiling and looking at all these and admired the
peaceful way her parents had chosen to save the mango tree.The
mango tree， with love and care from all， once again grew back to its
original form soon.
