三、阅读理解(共两节, 满分40 分)
第一节(共10 小题; 每小题2 分, 满分20 分)
阅读下面短文, 从短文后所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。
A
I remember going to the local university for an astronomy (天文学) night when I was a child. That night, I saw Saturn, one of the planets, and its rings with my own eyes for the first time. The rings shone brightly against the blackness of space and suddenly the universe (宇宙) wasn’t something that you only read about or imagined in your head. It was right there, and you were a part of it. That moment is priceless.
While starlight is good, light pollution here on the Earth can be a real problem. For the past 200 years or so, we have used too much electricity to make the night brighter. However, brighter doesn’t usually mean better, especially when a lot of that light shines up into the sky where no one needs it.
Luckily, some cities have taken action, like setting up new downward-directing lights along the streets. I hope that more cities will join in and continue the practice of controlling unnecessary lighting, so that more of us can watch the night sky in a way humans have for thousands of years.
( )31. What does the writer think of the astronomy night
A. It opened his eyes. B. It controlled his mind.
C. It was a real problem. D. It took him too much time.
( )32. What does the writer hope for
A. A brighter night. B. Less use of lighting.
C. More personal space. D. A better education.
( )33. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this article
A. To share his experience of visiting the local university.
B. To describe the beauty of the night sky.
C. To call on people to use less light at night.
D. To let more students study astronomy.
B
Is it possible to have a diet(日常饮食)that’s both healthy and friendly to our planet Here are answers to your eco-friendly food questions.
Does what I eat influence climate(气候)change
Yes. The world’s food system is responsible for(为……负责)about one quarter of the planet-warming greenhouse gases that humans produce each year. That includes raising and harvesting all the plants, animals, and animal products we eat, as well as processing, packaging, and shipping food to markets all over the world.
Which foods have the largest influence
In general, beef and lamb have the biggest climate footprint per gram of protein while plant-based foods like beans, rice, corn and wheat have the smallest influence. Pork, chicken, eggs are somewhere in the middle.
Is there a simple food choice I can make
Studies have shown that people who eat a meat-heavy diet can reduce their food-related footprint by one third or more by moving to a vegan diet — no meat, dairy(乳制品), or eggs. If you don’t want to go that far, just eat less meat.
Can I really make a difference to our planet
We need more food to feed the world’s growing population. One person alone can make only a tiny difference. If many people make changes to their diets, that will start to add up. It will make a greater difference if the world’s heaviest meat eaters make some changes to their diets.
( )34. According to the passage, which foods have the smallest influence on our planet
A. Beef and lamb. B. Rice and corn.
C. Chicken and pork. D. Beans and beef.
( )35. According to the passage, which of the following is true
A. One person alone makes no difference to our planet.
B. Shipping food all over the world has no influence on climate change.
C. All the planet-warming greenhouse gases come from the food system.
D. Meat eaters can reduce their food-related footprint by eating less meat.
( )36. What is the best title for the passage
A. How to produce more meat
B. How to make more plant-based foods
C. How to eat better for the planet
D. How to ask eco-friendly food questions
C
Everyone knows by now that plastic pollution is a huge problem for the environment. Beijing, for example, has dealt with this by banning(禁止)thin plastic bags, plastic tableware (餐具)and other plastic items in supermarkets, restaurants and hotels since May 1, 2020.
But an even better solution might be on the way. Researchers at a French company called Carbios have discovered a bacterial enzyme that can break down plastic. The enzyme, which was first found in compost(堆肥)leaves, turns plastic into chemical “building blocks” that can then be used to create new products, according to the Guardian.
The new enzyme was uncovered in research that was published in the journal Nature. Researchers studied over 100, 000 microorganisms (微生物) to find one that could break down plastic quickly. The leaf compost enzyme was first discovered in 2012. Scientists changed its genes (基因), allowing it to break down 90 percent of one ton of plastic in less than 10 hours.
“It had been completely forgotten, but it turned out to be the best,” said Professor Alain Marty, chief science officer at Carbios.
The enzyme especially breaks down PET, a type of plastic that is most commonly used to produce plastic bottles and food packaging. It is the fifth most common type of plastic that we use.
Carbios said it is working together with companies like Pepsi and Nestle— major consumers of plastic themselves— to develop their research and start using the enzyme on an industrial scale(范围), according to Forbes.
( )37. According to the passage, what is a huge problem for the environment
A. Plastic bags. B. Plastic tableware.
C. Plastic bottles. D. Plastic pollution.
( )38. What does the underlined word “enzyme” in Paragraph 2 mostly probably stand for
A. A type of plastic that we use.
B. A chief science officer at Carbios.
C. A French company called Carbios.
D. A thing that can break down plastic.
( )39. What can we know about the enzyme according to the passage
A. It was used to create new things.
B. It was first found in compost leaves.
C. It was studied by the journal Nature.
D. It was never been forgotten by the scientists.
( )40. Why is Carbios working together with companies like Pepsi and Nestle
A. To start using plastic.
B. To make more money.
C. To sell bottles and food.
D. To develop their research.

The Yangtze River, about 6, 300 kilometers long, is the longest river in Asia. It provides a lifeline for hundreds of millions of people. It covers an area of 1. 8 million square kilometers, about a fifth of the national total. The river also provides a third of our country’s fresh water resources.
However, in recent years, the Yangtze River has met with some environmental problems. It was seriously polluted and the number of the fish is getting smaller. To solve these problems, the government passed the Yangtze River Protection Law. The law came into force on March 1, 2021. There are nine parts in the law, covering areas such as resource protection, anti-pollution measures, green development and legal responsibilities and so on. More importantly, the law has introduced a fishing ban (禁令) on the Yangtze River’s natural waterways. According to the new law, both the central government and local organizations would put the river protection into their economic (经济的) and social development plans.
Around 231, 000 fishermen had given up their fishing rights along the Yangtze River. Chinese government said that more support should be given to these people to help them find new jobs. He also called for stronger efforts to help prevent activities which are not allowed by the law and encouraged the public to support the ban.

68. river / rivers【点拨】由“take a boat”, 可知是在河里, in the river 意为“在河里”; 结合语境, river 用单复数皆可, 故填river / rivers。
69. good【点拨】句意为“户外活动对你有益”。be good for 意为“有益于”, 是固定短语, 故填good。
70. Being【点拨】根据第一段“You can be a green kid by following these steps.”可知, 这里是说做一个环保的孩子, be a green kid 符合句意; 设空处作主语, 需用动名词, 故填Being。
六、范文
How to Make Our Hometown More Beautiful
The clean water and green mountains are our treasures. But the environmental pollution is a bit serious these days. In order to make our hometown more beautiful, we should do something to protect the environment.
First, we should turn off the lights to save electricity when we leave the room. Second, let’s walk or ride a bike to school. It is not only good for the environment but also good for our health. Third, we should also advise our parents to take the bus to work instead of driving a car. We should stop using plastic bags to reduce pollution. Fourth, we should try to sort the rubbish and throw it into the dustbin every day.
How important it is for us to protect the environment! Only if we know what to do in our daily life can we make a difference.
作文点评: 这篇习作运用了“三步”法进行写作: 交代目的→介绍具体行动→提出希望。文章第一段中以动词不定式短语In order to do sth. 作目的状语前置, 提醒人们保护环境的重要性; 第二段用First, Second, Third, Fourth 等表示顺序, 使文章行文流畅, 层次分明; 最后一段中用一个感叹句再次点题, 表明了保护环境的重要性。
添彩点: 文中画线部分为本文添彩点。
