Ⅰ.閱讀理解
　　Like many people， Stimpson， who is nearly 80， has noticed an alarming loss of wildlife in his lifetime.The clouds of swifts （雨燕） of his childhood have disappeared.
　　A loss of nesting sites is driving the decline of swifts in the UK， whose numbers are believed to have dropped by about 57％ in 22 years.These birds — which are now on the UK’s red list — are site-specific， meaning each spring they come back to the same spot after flying thousands of miles from Africa.The problem is that lots of old barns （谷倉） and houses have been upgraded and repaired and nesting sites have disappeared.
　　Thirteen years ago no one was making swift boxes， so Stimpson started.“I’m not a carpenter （木匠）； I’m a salesman， but I thought I’d certainly give it a go，” he says.When he started he could make three a day， now on a really good day he can make 30.“The government and big wildlife organisations don’t end up doing much to stop wildlife loss.We seem to have too many penpushers and not enough workers，” he says.“We could do an awful lot more than we’re doing.”
　　He believes local action groups are much more effective and has been working with a number of them.“The number of swift groups that have started up in the last five to eight years is quite staggering.And they seem to go from strength to strength，” he says.
　　“Swifts are the one thing where an individual can make a significant difference，” says Dick Newell， from Action for Swifts， who has 66 pairs of nesting swifts in his village of Landbeach in Cambridgeshire， 20 of them nesting on his house.
　　Newell says developers should put a swift brick in every new building， and he has been working with housebuilding company Taylor Wimpey to make this happen.Exeter city council has started incorporating them into new buildings， as well as the Duchy of Cornwall， and local councils are getting on board.Others are working on bee bricks and hedgehog （刺猬） holes in new developments.
1.What led to the swifts’ decline in the UK？（　　）
A.A loss of food.
B.A lack of nesting sites.
C.Their being removed from the red list.
D.Their deaths during their long journey.
2.What is Stimpson’s attitude towards the practice of the government and big wildlife organisations？（　　）
A.Curious. B.Doubtful.
C.Tolerant. D.Negative.
3.What does the underlined word “staggering” in Paragraph 4 mean？（　　）
A.Misleading. B.Shocking.
C.Confusing. D.Disturbing.
4.What does Newell advise developers to do？（　　）
A.Build fewer buildings in rural areas.
B.Increase buildings made of bricks.
C.Include a swift brick in new buildings.
D.Give special attention to bees and hedgehogs.
Ⅱ.閱讀七選五
　　Going on holiday doesn’t have to be bad for the environment， and there are still plenty of ways you can have a much-deserved break without harming the environment.
　　Forget planes.While most forms of transport produce carbon dioxide， planes have a massive carbon footprint because of the huge number of miles they travel.5.（　　） Many of us ignore the
endless beautiful scenery around us.There’s the unparalleled beauty of the Mississippi River.Alternatively， you can drive your car to the Grand Canyon to see its splendor.
　　Pack with care.6.（　　） All of their bottles， from shampoo and conditioner to body wash and moisturizer， are now made from recycled plastic that can be repurposed again and again so no new plastic is produced.And their iconic soap bars now also come in plastic-free packaging.
　　7.（　　） Hotels can be huge producers of greenhouse gases.Think about the water that’s wasted and all the buffet food that goes uneaten.So choose an eco-friendly option instead.Camping and a home stay — where you live with a family in their own home — are two of the best options.But if you insist on staying in the hotel， pick one made from sustainable materials.8.（　　）
　　Buy gifts responsibly.Bringing back gifts for friends and loved ones is part of the fun of a holiday.9.（　　） Avoid anything plastic， or if it is plastic， make sure it is 100％ recyclable， and make sure your friends will love whatever you give them so it isn’t just thrown in the bin headed for landfill.
A.Think about green accommodation.
B.Consider living in an eco-friendly hotel.
C.But make sure you choose items carefully.
D.Take brand-name beauty and bath products with you.
E.It’s also acceptable to live in a hotel using new energy.
F.So why not skip flying in favor of a holiday closer to home？
G.So why do planes consume so much fuel compared with other transport？

　　At the beginning of my seventh grade in school， Mrs Green came into our classroom， and with her was a girl called Maria， who joined us that year.
　　I found Maria fascinating because of her confidence and the way she carried herself.She walked gracefully and had a trendy haircut.All of us kept talking about her during the lunch break.It was as if she was pulling us along with an invisible thread （線）.Soon， it became a custom to gather around her desk during the break， to listen to her stories.
　　I started hanging out more with Maria and waving away my friends， telling them that I would catch up later on.One day， Maria invited me to her house.I couldn’t wait to go because I knew that such a sophisticated （見過世面的） girl would surely have a luxurious （奢華的） house.
　　And I was right.It was a three-storey building.Outside there was a large garage （車庫）.Servants attended our every need.But I was shocked to see the ill-treatment she gave them.Later， Maria and I were called down for lunch.The meal was wonderful， but she complained that it was too dry.Then， when she asked her parents if we could watch a movie， they refused.At this， she sharply talked back to them.But despite the incidents， I chose to ignore Maria’s flaws （缺點(diǎn)） and focused on the enjoyable moments we shared together.
　　From that day onwards， I spent most of my school time with Maria， casting my old friends aside.Because her company was much more interesting than theirs.
　　A month later， I was studying when suddenly my younger brother came out from behind my chair and gave me a sharp push.I shouted rudely in a way I had never done before.My mother came and said that she had been noticing changes in me for many weeks.Shouting at my brother had become a constant habit of mine and I was also talking back to the elders in the house.

Ⅰ.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇新聞報(bào)道。在英國，隨著雨燕筑巢地點(diǎn)的減少，雨燕的數(shù)量急劇下降。八旬老人為雨燕制作巢穴，為它們提供了安全的棲息地。
1.B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一句可知，在英國，雨燕筑巢地點(diǎn)的減少導(dǎo)致了雨燕數(shù)量的下降。
2.D　觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。根據(jù)第三段中The government and big wildlife ...stop wildlife loss.可知，Stimpson表示，政府和大型野生動(dòng)物組織說得多，做得少，并沒有采取多少措施來阻止野生動(dòng)物減少。由此可推知，Stimpson對(duì)政府和大型野生動(dòng)物組織的做法持負(fù)面的態(tài)度。
3.B　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞上下文可知，在過去的五到八年里，保護(hù)雨燕的組織開始增加，如今已經(jīng)數(shù)量“驚人”，而且他們似乎還會(huì)不斷壯大。故畫線詞意為“驚人的”。
4.C　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中的Newell says developers should put a swift brick in every new building可知，Newell建議開發(fā)商在新建大樓上為雨燕留出筑巢磚。
Ⅱ.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了有助于在度假時(shí)更好地保護(hù)環(huán)境的幾條建議。

6.D　根據(jù)段首句和空后一句可知，空處應(yīng)是建議帶某些產(chǎn)品，所以D項(xiàng)符合語境，其中的bath products 呼應(yīng)下文的shampoo， body wash， soap bars等洗浴用品。
7.A　根據(jù)下文So choose an eco-friendly option instead.可知，本段主要建議選擇一個(gè)環(huán)保的住處。A項(xiàng)（考慮環(huán)保住宿）能夠概括本段主旨。
8.E　根據(jù)上文But if you insist on staying in the hotel， pick one made from sustainable materials.可知，空處應(yīng)承接上文，繼續(xù)說明要選擇怎樣的酒店，E項(xiàng)（住在使用新型能源的酒店里也是可以接受的）符合語境。
9.C　空前說到帶禮物是旅行的樂趣，空后則說明了要如何挑禮物才能不浪費(fèi)。由此可知，空處應(yīng)有轉(zhuǎn)折意義，引出需要慎重選擇禮物，C項(xiàng)符合語境。

10.C　根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的There’re hundreds of drivers可知，Ozer Ismail下午在和快遞公司的司機(jī)們親切地交談。
11.B　根據(jù)上文makes time for a friendly chat with ...right place及倒數(shù)第二段中的I like it可知，Ozer Ismail喜歡他的工作。
12.A　根據(jù)下文對(duì)Ozer因病情影響工作的描述可知，在幾年前，Ozer的情況與現(xiàn)在完全不同。
13.D　根據(jù)下文because of the pain in my hands可知，Ozer四年來雙手做了數(shù)次手術(shù)。
14.D　根據(jù)下文I was an area manager at a cleaning company ...so I had to ...可知，Ozer因有手疾，對(duì)自己的職業(yè)方向感到迷茫。
15.C　根據(jù)下文because of the pain in my hands可知，Ozer因?yàn)殡p手疼痛無法開車，所以感到工作很難，不得不放棄。
16.B　參見上題解析。pack up意為“停止；放棄；辭掉”。
17.D　根據(jù)上文I felt like a prisoner in my own room及下文so I signed up for a three-month course可知，Ozer不愿意接受不工作的想法。
18.C　根據(jù)下文as a security guard可知，Ozer上課是為了獲得保安行業(yè)的權(quán)威認(rèn)證。
19.D　根據(jù)下文I studied an extra two hours可知，這項(xiàng)課程并不容易，Ozer每天需要額外學(xué)習(xí)兩個(gè)小時(shí)才能理解課程內(nèi)容。
20.A　參見上題解析。get one’s head round sth意為“想通某事，理解某事”。
21.C　根據(jù)上文got a full-time job as a security guard可知，多虧了他的簡歷，Ozer找到了一份當(dāng)保安的全職工作。

23.D　根據(jù)語境及下文There’re hundreds of drivers， and I get on well with them可知，Ozer在他的新角色中運(yùn)用了他豐富的經(jīng)驗(yàn)和交流技能。
24.B　根據(jù)全文對(duì)Ozer的經(jīng)歷的描述可知，Ozer的經(jīng)歷向其他處于相似處境的人充分證明了年齡不是開始一個(gè)新職業(yè)的障礙。
Ⅳ.
　　I argued， but eventually， I realised the problem of my ways — all under the influence of Maria’s company.I was shocked at myself and felt that the fault was in me and that I should immediately deal with it.I apologised to my brother and reflected on my actions.Slowly， I reconnected with my old friends and made an effort to rebuild those relationships.It wasn’t easy， but I knew it was important to surround myself with people who would positively shape my character.Luckily， with time and sincere efforts， my old friends gradually accepted my back into their lives.
　　I continued my friendship with Maria， but I also found ways to help her recognise her flaws.With honesty and care， I had a conversation about her behaviour and its consequences.Gradually， she began to understand.I shared my own growth experiences and encouraged self-reflection.When I introduced her to my friends， they exemplified humility.Maria transformed， treating everyone with kindness， even her household’s staff.Her parents acknowledged the positive influence.Our friendship strengthened as we supported each other’s personal growth.We learned that true worth lies in how we treat others.

An adventure in Africa
　　30 June， Morocco
　　My parents and I had just driven down the narrow mountain road from Marrakesh， with all its sharp bends①， and had finally arrived at Merzouga.[1] Before us stretched the unending sand dunes② that marked the beginning of the Sahara.[2] A small boy walked past with a group of noisy goats③ as I took a long look at the yellow roadside sign that told us we were entering a “fragile④ natural environment”. I made a resolution⑤ to respect and protect this unique landscape while I was here.[3] We set off⑥， our vehicle quietly running over the sand and small stones.[4] It wasn’t long before we were surrounded by enormous sand dunes towering⑦ above us on all sides. The wind was blowing grains⑧ of sand from the tops of the dunes， the sun was beating down⑨ hard and bright， and the sky was a deep shade of blue that I had never seen before. The wild beauty of the desert was about to reveal itself. There was not a plant to be seen. [5]The desert appeared completely empty， which was calming and threatening at the same time. The colours of the dunes contrasted⑩ strikingly with the blue of the cloudless sky .

　　[4]it wasn’t long before ... 意為“不久就……”；動(dòng)詞-ing短語towering ...作后置定語，修飾名詞sand dunes。
　　[5]which引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句，which指代前面整個(gè)主句的內(nèi)容，which在從句中作主語。
　　Eventually， as the last rays of sunlight were falling on the sand， we arrived at our desert camp. Stars were already shining brightly in the darkening sky and it was getting cold with the approach of the night. [6]Three camels ， slowly chewing ， were resting on their knees and watching our arrival with interest . “So， which one of you lucky animals will be my ride tomorrow？” I said out loud as I grabbed my bag and headed towards the warm campfire. I was starving and rushed to put a steak on the barbecue .
　　[6]動(dòng)詞-ing短語slowly chewing作伴隨狀語，修飾整個(gè)句子。
　　3 July， Kenya
　　A few days after our departure from the camp， our car was well and truly stuck in the mud . We were very near to our rest camp in Amboseli National Park located on the border of Kenya when my father， against my mother’s advice， decided to drive through a large pool of water that stretched across the dirt road. [7]Two tall slim local people were standing by the roadside watching us with amusement. They must have realized that we were totally helpless， for after a few moments， they wandered over and pushed us free. My father smiled weakly and we drove on as my mother and I waved from the car window.
　　[7]動(dòng)詞-ing短語watching us with amusement作伴隨狀語。
　　We found a parking space next to our hut ， which was round and made from brick.[8]The walls， painted brilliant white， reflected the afternoon sun. There were five similar huts， all lined up facing Mount Kilimanjaro， the highest mountain in Africa. The mountain rose up over the plains before us. [9]Tall grasses and trees dotted the plains， which were alive with the African wildlife we had come to see.Giraffes， with their long necks， were pulling leaves from the highest branches. [10]In the distance， elephants were eating grass， ears flapping lazily as they moved slowly over the plains.I had never seen anything like this before. It was indeed the greatest show on the Earth.
　　[8]過去分詞短語painted brilliant white作定語，修飾名詞walls。
　　[9]which引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句，修飾先行詞plains；we had come to see為定語從句，修飾先行詞African wildlife，從句中省略了關(guān)系代詞which或that。
　　[10]ears flapping lazily為獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)；as引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語從句，意為“一邊……一邊……”。

　　我和父母剛從馬拉喀什驅(qū)車，沿著狹窄的山路，一路急轉(zhuǎn)彎，終于到達(dá)了梅爾祖卡。在我們面前的是綿延不絕的沙丘，它們標(biāo)志著撒哈拉沙漠的起點(diǎn)。我盯著黃色路標(biāo)時(shí)，一個(gè)小男孩趕著一群吵鬧的山羊走過。根據(jù)路標(biāo)提示我們正在進(jìn)入“脆弱的自然環(huán)境”。當(dāng)我在此地的時(shí)候，我下定決心要尊重和保護(hù)這片獨(dú)特的風(fēng)景。我們出發(fā)了，車在沙子和小石子上靜靜駛過。很快我們就被四周高聳的巨大沙丘包圍住。風(fēng)吹動(dòng)著沙丘頂上的沙粒，陽光猛烈而耀眼地照射著，天空是我以前從未見過的深藍(lán)色。沙漠的野性之美即將顯露。目光所及之處，一棵植物都沒有。沙漠似乎空無一物，這既使人平靜，又讓人害怕。沙丘的顏色與晴空的藍(lán)色形成了鮮明的對(duì)比。
　　當(dāng)夕陽的余暉灑在沙地上時(shí)，我們終于抵達(dá)了沙漠營地。星星已經(jīng)在黑沉沉的天空中閃閃發(fā)光。隨著夜幕降臨，天也漸漸變冷了。三只駱駝跪著休息，慢吞吞地嚼著東西，饒有興致地注視著我們的到來。“那么，明天你們哪一個(gè)幸運(yùn)兒會(huì)成為我的坐騎呢？”我一邊大聲說道，一邊拿起包朝溫暖的篝火走去。我餓極了，急忙把一塊牛排放在烤肉架上。
　　7月3日，肯尼亞
　　離開營地幾天后，我們的車就完完全全陷在泥里了。父親先前不聽母親的勸告，決定開車穿過橫跨在泥路上的一大灘水，當(dāng)時(shí)我們離位于肯尼亞邊境的安博塞利國家公園休息營地非常近。兩個(gè)瘦高的當(dāng)?shù)厝苏驹诼愤吶炭〔唤乜粗覀儭Ｋ麄円欢ㄒ庾R(shí)到了我們完全無能為力，因?yàn)檫^了一會(huì)兒，他們便走過來，把我們的車從泥地里推出去。父親勉強(qiáng)笑了笑，我和母親從車窗揮手，便繼續(xù)前行了。
　　我們?cè)谛∥菖赃呎业搅艘粋€(gè)停車位，小屋是圓形的，用磚砌成。墻壁被漆成亮白色，反射著午后的陽光。有五間類似的小屋，都排成一排，面向非洲的最高山脈——乞力馬扎羅山。那座山屹立在我們面前的平原上。高高的草叢和樹木點(diǎn)綴著平原，平原上到處都是我們此行要看的非洲野生動(dòng)物。長頸鹿伸著長長的脖子，從最高的樹枝上咬下葉子。遠(yuǎn)處，大象正在吃草，耳朵懶洋洋地拍打著，在平原上緩緩移動(dòng)。我以前從沒見過這樣的場景。這的確是地球上最壯觀的景象。
　　我們下了車，提著手提箱和幾盒食物進(jìn)了小屋。我把火腿三明治、香腸和一把香蕉放在一張小木桌上。我回到車上，又拿了些物品。就在那時(shí)，我注意到一只灰色的小猴子坐在幾米開外的樹上，吃著一根香蕉。“太可愛了。”我心想，直到我意識(shí)到他吃的正是我的香蕉！他目不轉(zhuǎn)睛地看著我，開心地吃完最后一口。我確定他是在說：“謝謝。”“不客氣，”我回答道。

An adventure in Africa
　　30 June， Morocco
　　My parents and I had just driven down the narrow mountain road from
Marrakesh， with all its sharp bends①， and had finally arrived at
Merzouga.[1] Before us stretched the unending sand dunes② that marked
the beginning of the Sahara.[2] A small boy walked past with a group of
noisy goats③ as I took a long look at the yellow roadside sign that told us
we were entering a “fragile④ natural environment”. I made a resolution
⑤ to respect and protect this unique landscape while I was here.[3] We set
off⑥， our vehicle quietly running over the sand and small stones.[4] It
wasn’t long before we were surrounded by enormous sand dunes
towering⑦ above us on all sides.
The wind was blowing grains⑧ of sand from the tops of the dunes， the
sun was beating down⑨ hard and bright， and the sky was a deep shade of
blue that I had never seen before. The wild beauty of the desert was about
to reveal itself. There was not a plant to be seen. [5]The desert appeared
completely empty， which was calming and threatening at the same time.
The colours of the dunes contrasted⑩ strikingly with the blue of the
cloudless sky .

ing形式），在句中作狀語。
　　[4]it wasn’t long before ... 意為“不久就……”；動(dòng)詞-ing短
語towering ...作后置定語，修飾名詞sand dunes。
　　[5]which引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句，which指代前面整個(gè)主句的內(nèi)
容，which在從句中作主語。

　　Eventually， as the last rays of sunlight were falling on the sand，
we arrived at our desert camp. Stars were already shining brightly in the
darkening sky and it was getting cold with the approach of the night.
[6]Three camels ， slowly chewing ， were resting on their knees and
watching our arrival with interest . “So， which one of you lucky
animals will be my ride tomorrow？” I said out loud as I grabbed my bag
and headed towards the warm campfire. I was starving and rushed to put
a steak on the barbecue .
　　[6]動(dòng)詞-ing短語slowly chewing作伴隨狀語，修飾整個(gè)句子。
　　3 July， Kenya
　　A few days after our departure from the camp， our car was well
and truly stuck in the mud . We were very near to our rest camp in
Amboseli National Park located on the border of Kenya when my
father， against my mother’s advice， decided to drive through a large
pool of water that stretched across the dirt road. [7]Two tall slim local
people were standing by the roadside watching us with amusement. They
must have realized that we were totally helpless， for after a few
moments， they wandered over and pushed us free. My father smiled
weakly and we drove on as my mother and I waved from the car window.
　　[7]動(dòng)詞-ing短語watching us with amusement作伴隨狀語。
　　We found a parking space next to our hut ， which was round and
made from brick.[8]The walls， painted brilliant white， reflected the
afternoon sun. There were five similar huts， all lined up facing Mount
Kilimanjaro， the highest mountain in Africa. The mountain rose up over
the plains before us. [9]Tall grasses and trees dotted the plains， which
were alive with the African wildlife we had come to see.Giraffes， with
their long necks， were pulling leaves from the highest branches. [10]In
the distance， elephants were eating grass， ears flapping lazily as they
moved slowly over the plains.I had never seen anything like this before. It
was indeed the greatest show on the Earth.
　　[8]過去分詞短語painted brilliant white作定語，修飾名詞walls。
　　[9]which引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句，修飾先行詞plains；we had
come to see為定語從句，修飾先行詞African wildlife，從句中省略了

　　We got out of the car， carrying our suitcases and boxes of food into
the hut. I placed ham sandwiches， sausages and a bunch of
bananas on a small wooden table. I returned to the car and fetched more
possessions . [11]It was then that I noticed a small grey monkey sitting
on a tree a few metres away and eating a banana. “So cute，” I thought
to myself， until I realized it was my banana that he was eating！ He was
looking at me intently as he enjoyed the final mouthful. I was sure he
was saying， “Thank you.” “You’re welcome，” I replied.
　　[11]本句為強(qiáng)調(diào)句，被強(qiáng)調(diào)的部分是時(shí)間狀語 then。該強(qiáng)調(diào)句中又包含“感官動(dòng)詞（notice）＋賓語＋賓語補(bǔ)足語（動(dòng)詞-ing形

非洲奇遇
　　6月30日，摩洛哥
　　我和父母剛從馬拉喀什驅(qū)車，沿著狹窄的山路，一路急轉(zhuǎn)彎，終
于到達(dá)了梅爾祖卡。在我們面前的是綿延不絕的沙丘，它們標(biāo)志著撒
哈拉沙漠的起點(diǎn)。我盯著黃色路標(biāo)時(shí)，一個(gè)小男孩趕著一群吵鬧的山
羊走過。根據(jù)路標(biāo)提示我們正在進(jìn)入“脆弱的自然環(huán)境”。當(dāng)我在此
地的時(shí)候，我下定決心要尊重和保護(hù)這片獨(dú)特的風(fēng)景。我們出發(fā)了，
車在沙子和小石子上靜靜駛過。很快我們就被四周高聳的巨大沙丘包
圍住。風(fēng)吹動(dòng)著沙丘頂上的沙粒，陽光猛烈而耀眼地照射著，天空是
我以前從未見過的深藍(lán)色。沙漠的野性之美即將顯露。目光所及之
處，一棵植物都沒有。沙漠似乎空無一物，這既使人平靜，又讓人害
怕。沙丘的顏色與晴空的藍(lán)色形成了鮮明的對(duì)比。
　　當(dāng)夕陽的余暉灑在沙地上時(shí)，我們終于抵達(dá)了沙漠營地。星星已

　　7月3日，肯尼亞
　　離開營地幾天后，我們的車就完完全全陷在泥里了。父親先前不
聽母親的勸告，決定開車穿過橫跨在泥路上的一大灘水，當(dāng)時(shí)我們離
位于肯尼亞邊境的安博塞利國家公園休息營地非常近。兩個(gè)瘦高的當(dāng)
地人站在路邊忍俊不禁地看著我們。他們一定意識(shí)到了我們完全無能

　　Like many people， Stimpson， who is nearly 80， has noticed an
alarming loss of wildlife in his lifetime.The clouds of swifts （雨燕） of
his childhood have disappeared.
　　A loss of nesting sites is driving the decline of swifts in the UK，
whose numbers are believed to have dropped by about 57％ in 22
years.These birds — which are now on the UK’s red list — are site-
specific， meaning each spring they come back to the same spot after
flying thousands of miles from Africa.The problem is that lots of old barns
（谷倉） and houses have been upgraded and repaired and nesting sites
have disappeared.
　　Thirteen years ago no one was making swift boxes， so Stimpson
started.“I’m not a carpenter （木匠）； I’m a salesman， but I
thought I’d certainly give it a go，” he says.When he started he could
make three a day， now on a really good day he can make 30.“The
government and big wildlife organisations don’t end up doing much to
stop wildlife loss.We seem to have too many penpushers and not enough
workers，” he says.“We could do an awful lot more than we’re
doing.”
　　He believes local action groups are much more effective and has been
working with a number of them.“The number of swift groups that have
started up in the last five to eight years is quite staggering.And they seem
to go from strength to strength，” he says.
　　“Swifts are the one thing where an individual can make a significant
difference，” says Dick Newell， from Action for Swifts， who has 66
pairs of nesting swifts in his village of Landbeach in Cambridgeshire， 20
of them nesting on his house.
　　Newell says developers should put a swift brick in every new
building， and he has been working with housebuilding company Taylor
Wimpey to make this happen.Exeter city council has started incorporating
them into new buildings， as well as the Duchy of Cornwall， and local
councils are getting on board.Others are working on bee bricks and
hedgehog （刺猬） holes in new developments.

本文是一篇新聞報(bào)道。在英國，隨著雨燕筑巢地點(diǎn)的減
少，雨燕的數(shù)量急劇下降。八旬老人為雨燕制作巢穴，為它們提供
了安全的棲息地。
1. What led to the swifts’ decline in the UK？（　　）
A. A loss of food.
B. A lack of nesting sites.
C. Their being removed from the red list.
D. Their deaths during their long journey.
解析：　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一句可知，在英國，雨燕筑
巢地點(diǎn)的減少導(dǎo)致了雨燕數(shù)量的下降。
2. What is Stimpson’s attitude towards the practice of the government
and big wildlife organisations？（　　）
A. Curious. B. Doubtful.
C. Tolerant. D. Negative.
解析：　觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。根據(jù)第三段中The government and big
wildlife ...stop wildlife loss.可知，Stimpson表示，政府和大型野生
動(dòng)物組織說得多，做得少，并沒有采取多少措施來阻止野生動(dòng)物減
少。由此可推知，Stimpson對(duì)政府和大型野生動(dòng)物組織的做法持負(fù)
面的態(tài)度。
3. What does the underlined word “staggering” in Paragraph 4 mean？
（　　）
A. Misleading. B. Shocking.
C. Confusing. D. Disturbing.
解析：　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞上下文可知，在過去的五到八
年里，保護(hù)雨燕的組織開始增加，如今已經(jīng)數(shù)量“驚人”，而且他
們似乎還會(huì)不斷壯大。故畫線詞意為“驚人的”。
4. What does Newell advise developers to do？（　　）
A. Build fewer buildings in rural areas.
B. Increase buildings made of bricks.
C. Include a swift brick in new buildings.
D. Give special attention to bees and hedgehogs.
解析：　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中的Newell says developers
should put a swift brick in every new building可知，Newell建議開發(fā)
商在新建大樓上為雨燕留出筑巢磚。

　　Going on holiday doesn’t have to be bad for the environment， and
there are still plenty of ways you can have a much-deserved break without
harming the environment.
　　Forget planes.While most forms of transport produce carbon
dioxide， planes have a massive carbon footprint because of the huge
number of miles they travel.5.（　　） Many of us ignore the endless
beautiful scenery around us.There’s the unparalleled beauty of the
Mississippi River.Alternatively， you can drive your car to the Grand
Canyon to see its splendor.
　　Pack with care.6.（　　） All of their bottles， from shampoo and
conditioner to body wash and moisturizer， are now made from recycled
plastic that can be repurposed again and again so no new plastic is
produced.And their iconic soap bars now also come in plastic-free
packaging.
　　7. （　　） Hotels can be huge producers of greenhouse
gases.Think about the water that’s wasted and all the buffet food that
goes uneaten.So choose an eco-friendly option instead.Camping and a
home stay — where you live with a family in their own home — are two of
the best options.But if you insist on staying in the hotel， pick one made
from sustainable materials.8.（　　）
　　Buy gifts responsibly.Bringing back gifts for friends and loved ones
is part of the fun of a holiday.9.（　　） Avoid anything plastic， or if it
is plastic， make sure it is 100％ recyclable， and make sure your friends
will love whatever you give them so it isn’t just thrown in the bin headed
for landfill.
A. Think about green accommodation.
B. Consider living in an eco-friendly hotel.
C. But make sure you choose items carefully.
D. Take brand-name beauty and bath products with you.
E. It’s also acceptable to live in a hotel using new energy.
F. So why not skip flying in favor of a holiday closer to home？
G. So why do planes consume so much fuel compared with other
transport？

本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了有助于在度假時(shí)更好地
保護(hù)環(huán)境的幾條建議。
6. D　根據(jù)段首句和空后一句可知，空處應(yīng)是建議帶某些產(chǎn)品，所以
D項(xiàng)符合語境，其中的bath products 呼應(yīng)下文的shampoo， body
wash， soap bars等洗浴用品。
7. A　根據(jù)下文So choose an eco-friendly option instead.可知，
本段主要建議選擇一個(gè)環(huán)保的住處。A項(xiàng)（考慮環(huán)保住宿）能夠概
括本段主旨。
8. E　根據(jù)上文But if you insist on staying in the hotel， pick one made
from sustainable materials.可知，空處應(yīng)承接上文，繼續(xù)說明要選擇怎
樣的酒店，E項(xiàng)（住在使用新型能源的酒店里也是可以接受的）符合
語境。
9. C　空前說到帶禮物是旅行的樂趣，空后則說明了要如何挑禮物才
能不浪費(fèi)。由此可知，空處應(yīng)有轉(zhuǎn)折意義，引出需要慎重選擇禮物，

Ⅳ.讀后續(xù)寫
　　閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)
成一篇完整的短文。
　　At the beginning of my seventh grade in school， Mrs Green came
into our classroom， and with her was a girl called Maria， who joined us
that year.
　　I found Maria fascinating because of her confidence and the way she
carried herself.She walked gracefully and had a trendy haircut.All of us
kept talking about her during the lunch break.It was as if she was pulling
us along with an invisible thread （線）.Soon， it became a custom to
gather around her desk during the break， to listen to her stories.
　　I started hanging out more with Maria and waving away my friends，
telling them that I would catch up later on.One day， Maria invited me to
her house.I couldn’t wait to go because I knew that such a sophisticated
（見過世面的） girl would surely have a luxurious （奢華的） house.
　　And I was right.It was a three-storey building.Outside there was a
large garage （車庫）.Servants attended our every need.But I was
shocked to see the ill-treatment she gave them.Later， Maria and I were
called down for lunch.The meal was wonderful， but she complained that
it was too dry.Then， when she asked her parents if we could watch a
movie， they refused.At this， she sharply talked back to them.But
despite the incidents， I chose to ignore Maria’s flaws （缺點(diǎn)） and
focused on the enjoyable moments we shared together.
　　From that day onwards， I spent most of my school time with
Maria， casting my old friends aside.Because her company was much
more interesting than theirs.
　　A month later， I was studying when suddenly my younger brother
came out from behind my chair and gave me a sharp push.I shouted rudely
in a way I had never done before.My mother came and said that she had
been noticing changes in me for many weeks.Shouting at my brother had
become a constant habit of mine and I was also talking back to the elders in
the house.
注意：1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
2. 請(qǐng)按如下格式作答。
　　I argued， but eventually， I realised the problem of my ways —
all under the influence of Maria’s company. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　I continued my friendship with Maria， but I also found ways to
help her recognise her flaws. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　I argued， but eventually， I realised the problem of my ways —
all under the influence of Maria’s company.I was shocked at myself
and felt that the fault was in me and that I should immediately deal with
it.I apologised to my brother and reflected on my actions.Slowly， I
reconnected with my old friends and made an effort to rebuild those
relationships.It wasn’t easy， but I knew it was important to surround
myself with people who would positively shape my
character.Luckily， with time and sincere efforts， my old friends
gradually accepted my back into their lives.
參考范文：
　　I continued my friendship with Maria， but I also found ways to
help her recognise her flaws.With honesty and care， I had a
conversation about her behaviour and its consequences.Gradually， she
began to understand.I shared my own growth experiences and
encouraged self-reflection.When I introduced her to my friends， they
exemplified humility.Maria transformed， treating everyone with
kindness， even her household’s staff.Her parents acknowledged the
positive influence.Our friendship strengthened as we supported each
other’s personal growth.We learned that true worth lies in how we
treat others.
謝謝觀看！
