This phenomenon, known as sea-level rise, is a result of the melting of polar ice caps and the expansion of seawater as it warms. The consequences of sea-level rise are severe and multifaceted, affecting both human settlements and natural ecosystems.One of the most immediate impacts is the increased frequency of flooding in coastal areas. Homes and businesses are at greater risk of being submerged during high tides or extreme weather events. This not only causes significant financial loss but also displaces residents and disrupts local economies.Another consequence is the erosion of coastal land. As sea levels rise, the natural barriers that protect coastal areas from the ocean’s force are eroded away. This leads to the loss of beaches, wetlands, and other critical habitats for wildlife. The disappearance of these habitats can have devastating effectson local biodiversity.Despite these challenges, many coastal cities are taking proactive measures to mitigate the impacts of sea-level rise. Some are constructing sea walls and flood barriers to protect against flooding. Others are investing in sustainable infrastructure, such as green roofs and permeable pavements, which can absorb excess water and reduce runoff.Questions:1.What is the main cause of sea-level rise mentioned in the passage?A. The melting of polar ice caps.B. The expansion of seawater as it warms.C. Both A and B.D. Human activities only.2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a consequence of sea-level rise?A. Increased frequency of flooding.B. Loss of coastal land.C. Improved agricultural productivity.D. Disruption of local economies.3.What are some of the measures that coastal cities are taking to mitigate the impacts of sea-level rise?A. Constructing sea walls and flood barriers.B. Investing in sustainable infrastructure.C. Promoting the use of traditional building materials.D. Both A and B.Answers:1.C. Both A and B.2.C. Improved agricultural productivity.3.D. Both A and B.三、完型填空(15分)Section III: ClozeRead the following passage and choose the best word for each blank from the options given below.In the small town of Greenfield, the [1] of the community was brought toa standstill when a rare and beautiful butterfly, the Greenfield Blue, was found[2] a local park.

Anger may make us feel uncomfortable, but it’s also normal. Unluckily, many of us have been used to keeping our feelings hidden. A research suggests that this can have long-term bad influences on our health.Is it better to cry or break things whenever something makes us angry? The research points out that when we show our anger in this way, we can’t probably get on well with our friends and our family. The more time we keep being angry, the worse result we’ll get. So how can we deal with our angry feelings in a right way?First, know what makes us angry. Anger is often caused by feelings of fear, disappointment (失望) and so on. Second, pay more attention to those everyday things that will make us angry.One way of dealing with anger is to talk about it. The study has shown that if we name our feelings, we can actually calm ourselves down and feel better.Do some controlled breathing or find some physical activities. Exercise helps with feelings of anger.If we learn to deal with anger, we will be happier and healthier.26.According to the text, if we hide our angry feelings, we may ________.A.have some health problems B.find it hard to solve problemsC.be more likely to become angry D.lose our friendships with others 27.Which picture shows the relation (关系) between the time of being angry(x) and the bad result of that(γ)?A.B.C.D.28.Which can help deal with the feelings of anger?a. Exercisingb. Eating delicious food.c. Talking about the feelingsd. Doing some controlled breathingA.abc B.abd C.acd D.bed29.The underlined word “calm” means “________” in Chinese.A.使愤怒B.使冷静C.使沮丧D.使振奋30.What’s the best title for the text?A.What makes you angry?B.Why are you angry?C.How to deal with anger?D.When to deal with anger?March 21st is World Sleep Day. Its aim is to celebrate the benefits (好处) of good and healthy sleep.Sleep is like food for the brain. Enough sleep helps the body and brain grow and develop. According to the National Sleep Foundation in the US, adults need seven to eight hours of sleep every night. For students aged 10 to 17, a healthy amount of time is about eight to nine hours per night.But many students don’t get enough sleep because of early school start times and heavy homework. About 80 percent of middle school students don’t get enough sleep, the China Youth and Children Research Center reported. For some students, they want to sleep early, but they keep worrying about their schoolwork and can’t fall asleep quickly. For others, they may even have insomnia which might keep them awake all night.These sleeping problems greatly influence people’s lives. The lack (缺乏) of sleep forteenagers leads to poor grades. Students without enough sleep cannot pay attention in class or do well in sports.Also, the lack of sleep may make them depressed (沮丧的) .Luckily, with good sleep habits, it is easier to fall asleep. Some of these good habits include avoiding drinks that make people excited late in the day, going to sleep at the same time each night, and sleeping in a comfortable place that is dark, quiet, and neither too warm nor too cold. 31.A 15-year-old student needs to sleep about ________ hours every night.A.less than 7B.7C.7 to 8D.8 to 932.Some teens don’t get enough sleep because ________.A.they might do well in sports B.they might feel unhappyC.they might have too much homework D.their bodies and brains might grow better 33.The underlined word “insomnia” means ________ in Chinese.A.健忘症B.肥胖症C.多动症D.失眠症34.If teenagers are short of enough sleep, they might ________.A.get poor grades B.get fatter and fatterC.feel happy all day D.always want to drink water in the day 35.Good sleep habits are to ________.A.go to bed early and get up late B.go to bed at the same time every nightC.need a warm place to sleep D.listen to music to sleep every nightDifferent people prefer different colours. And wearing different colours of clothes shows different moods. Colours influence our moods. If we’re sad, we usually want to wear dark colours. If we’re happy, we often wear bright colours. So, how can colours influence our moods? What colour should we wear? Here is some advice for you.If you’re feeling sad, don’t wear black. It’ll make you feel worse. But if you choose red, orange or green, it will be better. Red can make us more excited. Orange can make you happier. Green makes us feel peaceful and energetic.Blue is a calm colour and it makes us feel relaxed. It can also make us think better and get good ideas. You can be cleverer than before if you are in yellow. So yellow is good for your studying. It is easier for you to find your love when you are in pink. White shows purity and peace.So wearing white makes you feel calmer.When you see someone wearing black, you may feel safer. Black can make you look mature (成熟的). It’s often preferred by people who aren’t lively as it is a protecting colour.Colours influence your moods greatly, so you need try to make you happy by changing your clothes with bright colours.根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

There were wolves and bears, many different kinds of deer and large wild cows. There were less than four million people. They lived in small villages protected by wooden walls from the animals outside.All this has changed, of course. Now the population of the United Kingdom has increased to sixty-five million. Three-quarters of Britain is covered with fields, towns or cities. Although 25 percent of land is countryside, new methods of farming mean that there are fewer birds and small animals living in fields than ever before. The United Kingdom is one of the few countries in the world that do not have a large wild animal that eats meat. In Scotland there are only 400 wildcats, but these are much smaller than wolves.Some people would like to change things, however! Some organizations (组织) and writers say that Britain needs to become more natural again. They suggest that trees and plants that grew in the UK before towns and cities were built should be allowed to grow again. They even say that large wild animals which have not lived in the UK should be helped to return and live in the wild. They call this "rewilding".Not everyone agrees. In the last twenty years, over one million trees which at first grew in Scotland have been planted and there are plans for more—but wild animals? Some people ask if wolves will attack (攻击) sheep or even humans. They are also angry that rewilding might mean an end to walking in the hills which so many people enjoy. So far there are no wolves or bears in Britain's forests-but soon there might be!26.What was the population of the UK thousands of years ago?A. About 25 million.B. Over 65 million.C. More than 61 million.D. Not more than four million.27.Why are there fewer birds and small animals in fields in the UK?A. Because more trees have been planted.B. Because there are more large wild animals.C. Because pollution is much worse than before.D. Because people use new methods of farming.28.Which paragraph gives opinions (观点) from "rewilding" supporters?A. Paragraph 1.B. Paragraph 2.C. Paragraph 3.D. Paragraph 4.29.What are some people against?A. Living closer to nature.B. Planting more and more trees.C. Helping large wild animals return.D. Building more villages and towns.30.What's the best title for the text?A. Making Britain wild againB. A trip to wild BritainC. An introduction to BritainD. Protecting the environmentBOn a cold winter night, when the police officer John and the detective Lee were walking back to the police station. They saw a robber attacking an old woman on the road. Lee and John ran over to the robber at once.The robber saw them and ran away as fast as he could. Lee and John followed him for a long distance until the robber rushed into an underground station. Lee and John ran into the station and tried to find him. It was quite dark outside that night and they couldn't see the robber clearly. But they remembered what his body shape was like.When they went in, they saw six men in the station. All of them had the similar build(体形)as the robber. John looked at them carefully, one by one.The first man was arguing with an underground station worker. He seemed to be very unhappy. The second one was watching the fight between the first man and the worker. It seemed like he was quite interested in it. The third one was running around to warm himself up, as it was cold in the station. The fourth one was quietly reading a newspaper. His face was hidden behind the newspaper. The fifth one was wearing a big coat, sitting on a bench quietly. The sixth one was waiting for the underground. He looked at his watch several times. He seemed to be in a hurry.John finally found out which one the robber was. He whispered to Lee, "Look! The robber wanted to cover up the fact that he was out of breath by doing this."31.

Western world has a complete system(系统) of star signs, and they ex plain them and use them to tell a person’s characteristics and the things they like or dislike. There are a cycle of 12 of them in all. All of them are decided by the date instead of the year of your birth and each of them has its own characteristics.Sagittarius (射手座) is one of them. Now, let’s take it as an example:Sagittarius (November 23—December 21)Sagittarius in shortSagittarius are fun, loving, generous and very friendly. They seldom tell lies; in fact they’re so open about everything, They have surprising intuitions(直觉) that they should pay attention to. They are pretty clever because they are so interested in everything. They can be a bit rude, that’s only because they’re very honest and will say exactly what they think. They love travelling, fast cars and horse riding. They also love spending money. More about SagittariusSagittarius are great friends because they are interested in everything and everyone. They are attracted by even the strangest people. With their humour, they are often in a good mood. They can be hurtful to others because they cannot stop speaking what they see as the truth, but they don’t mean to. Money is not their God . Their values are spiritual(精神的) rather than material.They are hard-working. They are very open-minded about new ideas and love to try ideas out. Usually it does end up working because they have an excellent intuition and can usually tell straight away if an idea is a good one or a bad one. One of their weaknesses is not asking enough money for all the hard work they do, because they love doing it.48. Whose star sign is Sagittarius?A. Miss Yao who was born on Mar 18, 1978.B.

Don ’t throw your rubbish anywhere.If parents’ aim(目标) is only to make a child be a genius(天才), they will cause a disaster. Several leading educational psychologists(心理学家) say this is one of the biggest mistakes that can cause great problems to children.However, if parents are a little gentler, the child may act successfully—especially if the parents can support him. Michael Li is very lucky. He is very fond of music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and inviting a teacher to give him personal piano lessons. They even drive him 59 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Although Michael’s mother knows very little about music, Michael’s father plays the piano very well. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling.Michael’s frie nd, Winston Chen, however, is not so lucky. Although both his parents are successful musicians(音乐家), they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are, so they enter him in every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. “When I was your age, I used to win every competition I entered,” Winston’s father tells him. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint(使…失望) his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.51. One of the worst mistakes any parent can make is to __________.A. pay much attention to their child’s educationB. push the child into trying to achieve too muchC. make their child become a musicianD. help their child to succeed in the future52. Michael Li is lucky because __________.A. his father knows music and teaches him muchB. his parents are rich enough to support himC. his mother doesn’t know much about musicD. his parents help him in a wise way53. The two examples show that __________.A. it is important to let children develop in their own wayB. it is successful to let children develop without others’ helpC. successful parents often have unsuccessful childrenD. the more you help your children, the less they can achieve(D)Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventures—those who have climbed the highest mountains, travelled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans(海洋). Now, however, there are more people who look for an excitement from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.I would think bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place (perhapsa bridge or a hot-air balloon) 200 metres above the ground with an elastic (有弹性的) rope tied to your ankles(脚踝). You fall at up to 150 kilometres an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that about 2 million people around the worl d have now tried bungee jumping. Other risky activities include jumping from tall buildings and diving(跳水) into the water from the top of high places.Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern world has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, people’s lives were often in danger. They had to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was harder than that of the present days.Nowadays, to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in safe conditions; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospi tals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping.54. More and more people today __________.A. are trying activities such as bungee jumpingB. are climbing the highest mountainsC. are coming close to death in sportsD. are looking for adventures such as travelling into exciting parts of the world55.

What is the best title of this passage?A. Modern Life is BoringB. Dangerous Sports: What and WhyC. Bungee Jumping: Is It Really Dangerous?D.
