Plant Trees to Save the Earth
Dear fellow students，
There is no doubt that trees can benefit us in many ways．Firstly，they reduce pollution and offer us clean air．Secondly，they help deal with climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide，which can lead to global warming．Thirdly，trees help us prevent sandstorms，fight floods，and protect soil from being washed away．
So，the more trees we plant，the better the environment will be．It's time for us to plant trees to make our city greener．Let's plant as many trees as possible and make our world a better place to live in．
Students' Union
[片段1]
Yesterday I went to the park．The beautiful park was a scented carpet of color．I rode my bicycle through the evergreen trees which were as tall as skyscrapers．The sun shone through clouds，which were floating pieces of cotton candy in the sky．Such is my favourite park．
昨天，我去了公園。這個美麗的公園就是一塊芬芳的彩色地毯。我騎著自行車穿過那些像摩天大樓一樣高的常青樹。陽光透過云層照射進來，那是天上飄著的棉花糖。這就是我最喜愛的公園。
[片段2]
As the evening wore on，dark clouds seemed to be running quickly across the sky．Jane and her friends heard the frightening thunder．Rain started to come down hard，making it almost impossible to make out what was in front in woods．What's worse，the wind was picking up，which made the branches of the trees dance wildly．
隨著夜幕的降臨，烏云似乎在天空中快速奔跑。Jane和她的朋友聽到了可怕的雷聲。雨開始下得很大，幾乎不能看清樹林前面是什么。更糟的是，風越來越大，樹枝在狂舞。

Chen Guanghui is a guardian for black-necked cranes(黑頸鶴) in the Dashanbao Black-necked Crane National Nature Reserve of Zhaotong city，in southwest China's Yunnan Province．Whistling(吹口哨) is the secret language Chen uses to communicate with the black-necked cranes，a type of migratory bird under first-class protection in China．She says different whistles signal different things．When she whistles in an increasing tone，she tries to tell the cranes: ask your companions to come back for lunch，and they would chirp(吱喳叫) to spread the message right away．
Living near the Dashanbao Nature Reserve，a major winter habitat(棲息地) for the rare species，Chen started to take care of them in 2003，a mission she took over from her mother，whose devotion dates back to the 1990s．
“In the first few days，I remembered they ran away as soon as I approached them．I was very upset and asked my mum to come back，and I was worried they would starve，” says Chen．“I initially tried everything，even singing folk songs to attract them，but failed．Later，I used special whistles and gradually formed close bond with the cranes．”
“I treat them as if they were my own children，and I'm always concerned about them，especially during snowy days when they can't get food．I feel uncomfortable and anxious when I hear them chirp and usually rush to prepare corn for them．” It's never been an easy job，and Chen has sustained quite a few injuries over the years，even falling into frozen marsh(沼澤) while trying to save a trapped crane in 2008．However，she never gave up．With love and responsibility，she has persisted in caring for the cranes for about 20 years．
Thanks to the joint protection efforts of Chen and staff members at the nature reserve，now more than 1，900 black-necked cranes overwinter in the area each season every year，up from about 300 when the nature reserve was established．

Like human armies，army ants smoothed out anything in their path．They make a habit of finding foods，often much larger than themselves，breaking them into pieces and dragging the pieces back to their camps．But they do not eat them out，with their army bases full of rubbish．But little is known about which kind of animals feed on army ants' leavings．Christoph von Beeren at the Technical University of Darmstadt and Daniel Kronauer at the Rockefeller University in New York went to the rainforests of Costa Rica to find out．They found a whole ecosystem depends on the leftovers(殘留食物) to survive．
Watching little insects in a rainforest is much tougher—these cleaners had not been examined before．But the researchers hoped modern DNA analysis techniques might make the job easier．Working with a team of co-workers，they followed ants back to their camps，finding 34 places in total．
The researchers collected all the insects at each place and brought them back to laboratory．In total，they collected 8，364 adult beetles(甲殼蟲)，511 beetle babies and 24 beetle eggs．Those were spread across 91 species，several of which were new to science．Far beyond what anyone had expected，these figures suggest that the leftovers are not fast-food restaurants but homes，where the beetles live from birth to death．
How these species manage to avoid being eaten by their army-ant hosts is still a mystery．Dr Von Beeren guessed that it partly depends on the fact that ants need them to keep their camps clean or partly depends on the fact that many species of beetles are able to produce chemicals that smell bad to ants．
The research only has shown a little of what is going on in the rubbish．Besides beetles，there were other kinds of insects that the team simply did not have time to study and they were of equal importance to their study according to Dr Daniel Kronauer．
【語篇解讀】　本文是一篇說明文。文章主要講述了科學家研究哪種動物以行軍蟻的殘余食物為食并得到新的發現。

The endangered pandas in Qinling Mountains might face a new threat: the loss of their food，bamboo，which makes up 99% of their meals．
Adult pandas spend most part of the day eating bamboo and have to take in at least 40 pounds a day to stay healthy．However，a new study published in Nature Climate Change warned that they may soon find their food gone because most of the bamboo in Qinling Mountains might disappear by the end of the century as a result of rising temperature worldwide．
A team made up of researchers from Michigan State University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences has studied the effects of climate change on the bamboo in Qinling Mountains．They have found that bamboo is very sensitive to climate change．“80% to 100% of the bamboo would be gone if the average temperature increases 3.5 degrees worldwide by the end of the century，” said Liu Jianguo，one of the report's authors．
He added，“This is how much the temperature would rise by 2100 even if all countries will keep their promises in the Paris Agreement．But you know what is happening around the world．”
In recent years，China has been trying its best to protect the endangered pandas by setting up more and bigger natural reserves．
“But it is far from being enough and the endangered pandas need cooperation from the rest of the world，because their future is not just in the hands of the Chinese，” said Shirley Martin from World Wildlife Fund but not a member of the team．
The Qinling Mountains，in the southwest of China，are home to about 260 pandas．That is about 13% of the China's wild panda population．In addition，about 375 are living in research centers and zoos in China．

閱讀下面短文，從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項，選項中有兩項為多余選項。
Trees around us are extremely important and have always been necessary for improving the human conditions．Our existing forests and trees we plant work to make a better world． 16 ．Here is a short list of main reasons why trees are necessary for improving our living conditions．
·Trees produce oxygen
17 ．A leafy tree produces as much oxygen in a season as ten people inhale(吸入) in a year．What many people don't realize is that the forest also acts as a giant filter(過濾器) that cleans the air we breathe．Trees help clean the air by preventing airborne particles，reducing heat，and absorbing such pollutants．
· Trees clean the soil
The term phytoremediation(植物修復) is a fancy word for the absorption of dangerous chemicals and other pollutants that have entered the soil． 18 ．Trees filter sewage and farm chemicals，reduce the effects of animal wastes，clean roadside spills and so on．
·Trees are carbon sinks
To produce its food，a tree absorbs and locks away carbon dioxide in the wood，roots and leaves．Carbon dioxide is a global warming suspect． 19 ．This locking-up process “stores” carbon as wood and not as a “greenhouse” gas．
20 ．
Trees block urban noise almost as effectively as stone walls．Trees，planted at strategic points in a neighborhood or around your house，can reduce major noises from freeways and airports．
A．Trees help clean the sky
B．Trees control noise pollution
C．We could not exist as we do if there were no trees
D．Man has been planting trees to make the planet a more beautiful world
E．A forest is a carbon storage area that can lock up as much carbon as it produces
F．The modern human community has other more practical reasons to admire and honour trees
G．Trees can either store harmful pollutants or change the pollutants into less harmful forms
【語篇解讀】　本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了樹木對人類生存環境所起的重要作用。
16．F　[空前提到，地球上的自然林和我們種植的樹木一起創造更好的世界；空后提到，這里有一份簡單列表，列出了樹木對改善我們的生存環境非常必要的主要原因。故F項“當今的人類社區還有其他更現實的理由欽佩、珍視樹木”承上啟下，符合語境。]
17．C　[根據下文可知，此處是說樹所產生的氧氣幫助我們存活，故C項“如果沒有樹木我們就不能生存”符合語境。]
18．G　[根據空后的內容可知，樹木會過濾污水和農業用藥，減少動物糞便的影響及清理路邊的污物等，故G項“樹木要么儲存有害的污染物，要么將污染物轉化為危害較小的形式”承上啟下，符合語境。]
19．E　[根據空前的“locks away carbon dioxide”和空后的“This locking-up process ‘stores’ carbon”可知，E項“森林是一個碳儲存區，可以儲存其產生的盡可能多的碳”符合語境。]
20．B　[結合本段內容可知，此處講的是樹木可以減少噪聲污染，故B項“樹林木控制噪聲污染”符合語境。]

Koalas，unlike kangaroos，birds or snakes，do not 27 from fires but instead climb trees to the top，where they can curl themselves into a ball for 28 and wait for the danger to 29 ．
But during big fires，such as those that have burned in recent weeks，the animals are far less likely to 30 ．Even if the fire itself does not reach the tree 31 ， the animals may over heat and fall to the ground，where they can be burned to death．
The tough situation of the koala has raised 32 among scientists and conservationists(環保主義者)．While koalas have developed to exist alongside the wildfires，they are facing new 33 ， not just from climate change but also from human development，which has dislocated koalas' populations， 34 their ability to survive fires．
We have these 35 animals not found anywhere else on this planet，and we are killing them．This is a big wake-up call．

medical
that

36．covered　[考查非謂語動詞。分析句子結構可知，設空處應用非謂語動詞作定語，修飾an area，它與area之間是邏輯上的動賓關系，所以應用過去分詞。故填covered。]
37．Without　[考查介詞。句意：沒有雨林覆蓋的話，這些區域反射到大氣中的熱量會更多，從而使地球其他區域變暖。由句意可知，此處應用介詞without。因其位于句首，故首字母大寫。]
38．warming　[考查非謂語動詞。設空處應用非謂語動詞作結果狀語，它與其邏輯主語(設空前描述的這件事)之間是主動關系，所以應用動詞-ing形式。故填warming。]

42．but/yet　[考查連詞。句意：很明顯，我們需要那些我們從砍伐樹木中所獲得的資源，但是我們因此遭受的苦難要比我們所獲得的益處多得多。根據句意可知，前后兩個分句之間為轉折關系，故用but/yet。]
43．medical　[考查形容詞。設空處作定語，修飾名詞value，應用medicine的形容詞形式，故填medical。]
44．that　[考查強調句型。本句中的“It”作形式主語，后面的從句作真正的主語，因為從句中不缺少成分且意思完整，所以此處應用that。]
45．lies　[考查時態和主謂一致。lie是從句的謂語動詞，根據上下文語境可知，此處應用一般現在時；又因從句的主語的中心詞chance是單數，此處謂語應用第三人稱單數形式，故填lies。]

Animal Protection Activities Held
To raise our awareness of protecting animals，our school held diverse activities on October 4th，“World Animal Day”．
A photo exhibition attracted a number of students，showing us many animals are becoming endangered species for various reasons like illegal hunting and pollution．More inspiring was a speech contest where participants eagerly talked about how we individuals could make a difference．
The activities turned out a great success．As one student put it，“It's really distressing to see the animals dying out at such an alarming rate．It's time we should spare no effort to protect them．”

Puppies for Sale
A little boy lived in a small town of Northern California called Oxnard．He was a lovely boy but he lost his left leg in a car accident and had to walk by a false leg(假肢)．He couldn't follow other kids．He felt lonely and decided to keep a pet dog as his friend．
One day，he walked past a pet shop and saw a sign above the door that said，“Puppies for Sale”．The little boy asked the shop owner，“I want to buy one of your puppies．Can I please look at the puppies？”
The pet shop owner got impressed with the honesty of the boy．“Sure，” said the shop owner．He smiled and whistled loudly．Five puppies ran down the walkway of the pet shop．
The little boy's eyes danced with pleasure．As the puppies made their way towards the fence，the little boy noticed that one puppy was falling behind．This puppy was limping (跛行) and trying its best to catch up the others．
Immediately the little boy pointed out towards the limping puppy and asked，“What's wrong with that little puppy？” The shop owner explained that when the puppy was born，the pet hospital had examined the little puppy and had discovered there was something wrong with its back leg．It would limp for the rest of his life．
The little boy got really excited and said，“That is the puppy that I want to buy．” The shop owner replied，“No，that puppy is not for sale．Nobody will buy that puppy due to his disabled leg．If you really want him，I'll just give him to you for free．”

[參考范文]
The little boy got quite upset with the reply of the shop owner．He looked straight into the shop owner's eyes and said，“I don't want you to give him to me．That little dog is worth every bit as much as all the other dogs，and I'll pay full price．” The shop owner tried to persuade the boy to stop buying the puppy and said，“You really want to buy this little dog He is never going to be able to run and jump and play with you like the other puppies．”
However，the boy decided to buy the little puppy and thought that he should pay for it．The shop owner asked，“Why do you want this dog？” To the shop owner's surprise，the little boy reached down and pulled up his pant leg to show his false left leg supported by a big metal brace．He looked up at the shop owner and softly replied，“Well，I don't run so well myself，and the little puppy will need someone who understands！” The pet owner was moved by his words．Finally they reached an agreement that the boy paid for the little puppy and brought it home happily．
