【题目】阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
The Amazon is key to the health of the entire planet. It is the largest rainforest in the world, 【1】 (rough) half the size of the United States. Statistics show that nearly 20% of the oxygen 【2】 (produce) by the Earth’s land comes from the Amazon rainforest. It also puts an enormous amount of water into the atmosphere at a time 【3】 cities are drying up. The Amazon is sucking in carbon and greenhouse gases while slowing the rising temperatures. 【4】 it’s now burning at a record rate - with images from space 【5】 (show) the smoke covering much of Brazil.
It’s not the only major forest in danger Nearly half of the world’s forests that 【6】 (stand) when humans started farming are now gone. The chief reason is the expansion 【7】 agriculture into forested areas. In Brazil it’s cattle ranching, soy production and logging, according to Nigel Sizer, tropical forest ecologist. “It is responsible for 80% to 90% of 【8】 loss of tropical forests around the world.” Environmental groups say these activities can 【9】 (slow) in a much more sustainable way.
However, you can help reforest parts of the world through the Rainforest Trust and Rainforest Alliance. The Rainforest Trust allows you to restrict your donations to a specific project. The Rainforest Alliance says 100% of your 【10】 (contribute) will help stop deforestation in Brazil right now.
【答案】
【1】roughly
【2】produced
【3】when
【4】But
【5】showing
【6】stood
【7】of
【8】the
【9】be slowed
【10】contribution(s)
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。统计数据显示,地球陆地产生的氧气有近20%来自亚马逊雨林。从太空拍摄的图像显示,亚马逊雨林正在以创纪录的速度燃烧,烟雾覆盖了巴西的大部分地区。当人类开始农耕时,世界上几乎一半的森林都消失了。
【1】考查副词。句意:它是世界上最大的雨林,大约有美国一半大小。此处表示“大约”应用副词roughly。故填roughly。
【2】考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,produce在句中作非谓语动词,与逻辑主语oxygen构成被动关系,故用过去分词。故填produced。
【3】考查定语从句。本句为定语从句,修饰先行词time,且先行词在从句中做时间状语,故用关系副词when。故填when。
【4】考查连词。句意:但现在它正在以创纪录的速度燃烧——从太空拍摄的图像显示,烟雾覆盖了巴西的大部分地区。结合上下文语境可知为转折关系,应用连词but。句首字母要大写。故填But。
【5】考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,show在句中作非谓语动词,与逻辑主语images构成主动关系,故用现在分词。故填showing。
【6】考查动词时态。stand在从句中做谓语动词,且根据后文when humans started farming可知,应用一般过去时。故填stood。
【7】考查介词。句意:其主要原因是农业向森林地区的扩展。此处为名词所有格,表示“农业向森林地区的扩展”应用介词of。故填of。
【8】考查冠词。句意:全世界80%到90%的热带森林消失都是由它造成的。loss为名词,此处特指“热带森林消失”应用定冠词the。故填the。
【9】考查动词语态。本句中主语与谓语动词构成被动关系,且can后跟动词原形。故填be slowed。
【10】考查名词单复数。句意:雨林联盟表示,你们100%的贡献将帮助巴西立即停止森林砍伐。根据上文your为形容词性物主代词修饰名词,应填名词contribution,contribution既可视为可数名词,也可视为可数名词,故此处还可以使用复数形式。故填contribution(s)。

Passing exams are every student's dream. Fail them is their frightening dream. So, to realize our dreams, many students try anything. They even go to fortunetellers, buy lucky charms and follow lots of old custom. In Korea, many students bury something personal in the university they want to enter. They believed that those things are amazing and will “pull" them into the university. If it works or not, nobody real knows. At least it does ease the students' minds about passing exams. Remembering, though, you can't always rely luck. There is no substitute for a hard work.

【题目】 “Suzanne Meyer, the assistant director of the English Language Institute at the University of Tennessee, says that many students need to learn how to collect information, and then evaluate the information and apply it to a new context. Meyer says: “【1】 . Question-asking activities help students to become better language learners. Question-asking may help develop critical thinking skills by allowing for more interactions.【2】 . When they are confident, they can have more interaction. That extra interaction might lead to critical thinking.”
How can you practice asking questions? There are many strategies to improve question-asking and develop critical thinking skills. 【3】 .
If students were reading a new text, they would design a series of questions using three different steps. In the first step, students create questions about information in the text that they are reading. In the second step, students create questions about how the information in the text connects to their own life. In the third step, students create questions about abstract ideas – ideas that came up in the questions about themselves.【4】 .
Practical Tips: Meyer says that when teachers tell students which questions to answer, students are less likely to be creative about the types of questions that they ask. 【5】 . Try making a list of questions that go from concrete to abstract. Check with your teacher to make sure that your grammar is correct, and try to practice in the classroom.
A.So, practice developing your own questions!
B.People who can ask questions should be very confident.
C.People can ask questions freely when they feel relaxed.
D.If people take some steps, they can find some useful question-asking patterns.
E.There are many benefits to using question-asking activities with English learners.
F.One possible strategy is to use question-asking patterns that start with concrete questions and move to abstract questions.
G.If students follow these three steps, they have not only practiced creative ways to ask questions, they have also started practicing critical thinking.

【题目】 Every year, billions of kilograms of fresh produce are wasted in the United States. Meanwhile, millions of poor Americans go hungry, without access to healthy and affordable meals.
Evan Lutz is enthusiastic about correcting that social injustice. And he combines that goal with enthusiasm for business. Lutz is CEO and founder of Hungry Harvest, a business which collects and sells “ugly” produce. These are fruits and vegetables that most food companies would throw away. More than six billion pounds are wasted each year due to surface imperfections.
“So I’ll give you an example.” Lutz says, “If you go to a grocery store you will see all the produce lineup shiny, perfect, of the same size and color. But on a farm, everything doesn’t grow the same way. So all that stuff that doesn’t grow the same way often gets thrown out. And what we do is take all that normally gets thrown out because of its odd size or shape, box it up and deliver it to our customers once a week.”
For Evan Lutz, giving back to others came form his upbringing. “When I was growing up, my parents taught me the values of giving back, and giving is a lot more powerful than receiving. We sell produce with a purpose and that doesn’t just mean we reduce food from going to waste. We hire people that were formerly in prison or were formerly injured or sick living in homeless shelters. They really wanted to get back on their feet for a second chance in life.”
Evan Lutz is really happy to be realizing great mission that he thinks can really revolutionize the food industry in America.

A.vegetables and fruits that don’t taste good are thrown away

【2】What business does Hungry Harvest mainly do?
A.Deliver food for free.B.Collect “ugly” produce and sell it.
C.Raise money for the poor.D.Buy “ugly” produce and process it.
【3】Why does Evan Lutz employ those people mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A.To provide them with a job.B.To reduce labor costs.
C.To increase productivity.D.To earn a better reputation.
【4】What can be the best title for the passage?
A.Creating More Jobs for the Less Fortunate.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Good afternoon! My name is Li Zilin and I am 9 years old. I came from Chengdu, capital of southwest Chinas Sichuan Province. Today I am very honor to share with you my understanding of youth power in climate action. After I came here, I hosted an activity at my school about pandas and climate change aware. More students have learned that the climate change is endangering pandas.
For myself, my pledge are “love pandas, love the earth”. Since pandas have survived changes on earth for more than a million years and are always thought on as living fossils, we show the bio-diversity of the nature.
The 2020 UN Biodiversity Conference will held in Kunming of China the next year. We sincere welcome you to China, to the Biodiversity Conference, to know about pandas and to see Chinese youth in action.
Thank you very much!
