21、   Oindrila Basu from India, 25, is a key member of a global forestry organization. Back in her youth, she had to be taught the importance of nature. She used to destroy nests of the bulbul bird just for fun. Once, her mother caught her and forced her to find the eggs and replace the nest. With a heavy heart, the girl realized she had done something terrible.

This is just one way that Basu’s parents shaped her understanding and appreciation of nature. Living in the countryside, she spent her youth studying ants before a rain, watching sunbirds drink bottlebrush nectar, counting fireflies and watching seedlings grow. Then her parents decided to move to a nearby city with better educational opportunities and she stopped having firsthand experiences with nature.

As she struggled to choose a college major, her mother suggested a career in forestry. That’s when her journey began and she fell in love with forestry. Away from the crowded concrete cities, in the lap of the Himalayas, she got her bachelor’s degree in forestry from Kumaun University, India. When she went on to study for a master’s in forestry from the Forest Research Institute, India, she finally got introduced to a like-minded group of people, devoted to the same cause-the International Forestry Students’ Association（IFSA）.

IFSA is a global organization connecting students to exchange knowledge and participate in forestry activities. The youth joining IFSA are encouraged to undertake its mission-to enrich forest education and spread a love of nature through events and intercultural exchanges.

After six months of exciting international conferences and workshops, Basu, found her home-a family that loved forests as much as she did. She felt rejuvenated（重生的）; her passion had a direction. Now she wanted to do more.

Now with the IFSA, Basu recalled her experience of joining, “On purpose or by chance we chose forestry, or rather, forestry chose us”.

【1】What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?

A.Basu fell in love with nature when she first saw bird nests.

B.Basu didn’t go to school when she lived in the countryside.

C.Basu’s parents didn’t like her to spend much time in nature.

D.Basu’s love for nature grew as she learned more about it.

【2】What is the text mainly about?

A.The development of an Indian family. B.The road to forestry of an Indian girl.

C.The importance of protecting forest. D.The influence of IFSA on everyone.

【3】In IFSA the youth can_____.

A.communicate with nature lovers B.escape city life

C.take a master’s degree course D.organize forestry activities

【4】Which word can best describe the work of IFSA?

A.Challenging. B.Moving.

C.Inspiring. D.Promising.

22、Ada Smith, chairwoman of a non-profit organization Protect the Earth, wore green for a special event with school children in New York on Wednesday. The 40-year-old woman stood against the cool weather in a long green coat that has been in her wardrobe (衣柜) for years.

She wore the coat for the first time in 2019 during her husband Bill Smith’s tour to a national environmental conference, and she put on it again in her classic sustainable (可持续的) style. Ada’s recycled outfit was perfect for the occasion, all about the environment.

Ada and Bill headed to the Central Park, where they spent time brainstorming ideas with students on how to deal with environmental issues. Ada said, “Education is such an important part of protecting our planet. We must inspire the next generation with the optimism, confidence and enthusiasm to chase those solutions and continue building a more sustainable future.”

Ada and Bill helped the students generate more than 60 ideas to help the environment. Ada said, “Young children already identify the climate as one of their biggest worries, and our organization aims to educate them that we can find the answers by working together.”

Their visit came ahead of an award ceremony, in which five winners will be announced in the first round of the environmental prize pioneered by Ada. Ada and Bill will appear at the ceremony on the next weekend, when they will walk the “green carpet” with activists committed to environmental causes.

Though their time with the children was part of a larger initiative, environmentalist Steve Johnson said, “They didn’t come there for a photo, but to sit, talk to and listen to kids. It is from the heart and people get that.”

【1】Why did Ada wear green?

A．To show a different dressing style.

B．To make herself more attractive.

C．To make herself match the event.

D．To fight against the cool weather.

【2】What is the key to protecting the earth according to Ada?

A．Teaching young children to participate in it.

B．Asking young children to study together.

C．Building the confidence of the next generation.

D．Inspiring more students to wear green clothes.

【3】What will Ada and Bill do on the next weekend?

A．Go to visit some students.

B．Attend an award ceremony.

C．Set up a non- profit organization.

D．Receive an environmental prize.

【4】What did Steve think of Ada and Bill’s action?

A．It’s costly.

B．It’s suspect.

C．It’s interesting.

D．It’s genuine.

23、NASA-s New Horizons probe（宇宙探测器）flew by Pluto（冥王星）this morning, sending back history's first up-close looks at the vast freezing-cold world.  Closest approach came at 7:49 a.m.  EDT.  To celebrate, NASA gave out the latest photo of Pluto. It showed a reddish world with an amazing heart-shaped feature on its surface.

After today's close encounter, all the nine solar system's traditionally recognized planets have now been visited by a spaceship-a huge project begun in 1962 when NASA's Mariner 2  probe flew past Venus,  a  planet  in  the solar system.  More than  l,200 scientists, NASA guests and important persons, including 200 reporters, watched the flyby live at New Horizons'  mission control center.

That close encounter has been a long time coming. The$723 million New Horizons mission launched in January 2006 but began taking shape in 1989.  "New Horizons is'a capstone mission'," Glen Fountain, mission project manager told Space, com. "It is the first completion of the observations of our solar system. It-s giving us a new idea about how we human beings fit into the universe."

New Horizons "faced a crazy number of challenges," Stern, a driving force behind New Horizons said, "So many people stuck with this for so long. They got knocked down; they stood up.  They got knocked down again; they stood up again.”

In a coincidence, today's close approach falls on the 50th anniversary of the first flyby of Mars, another planet, which was completed by NASA-s Mariner 4 spaceship.

There are no longer nine officially recognized planets, of course. The International Astronomical Union regarded Pluto as “a dwarf planet" in 2006 in a decision that remains controversial（有争议的）today.

【1】Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Ideas still vary in the identity of Pluto.

B. Only scientists could watch the flyby live.

C. Mars is the first planet visited by a spaceship.

D. New Horizons mission aimed to observe the solar system.

【2】Glen Fountain may probably agree that  _____________________．

A. it is the most difficult to land on Pluto in the solar system

B. New Horizons mission is a long and troublesome project

C. their strong determination leads to the successful flyby

D. people are likely to find new ways to fit into space

【3】Which is the best title for the passage?

A. A New Horizons Probe

B. NASA's Huge Project

C. Pluto,a Controversial Planet

D. A Close Approach to Pluto

24、What’s really green?

Most of us are aware that we must take care of the environment, and the majority of us take steps to save energy and reduce waste and pollution. But recently, some “green truths” have been shown to be only half true, or even completely false. 【1】

Paper shopping bags are better than plastic ones.

Plastic bags cause litter and are a danger to wild animals, which mistake them for food. It takes hundreds of years for plastic to break down, but much less time for paper. Because of this, people think paper bags are the better environmental choice.

However, making a paper bag uses four times as much energy as making a plastic bag and up to three times the amount of water. 【2】 In fact, both kinds of bags are bad for the environment. So, take a reusable bag with you when you go shopping.

【3】

It seems like common sense: eating local food should be better for the environment, because it does not need to be transported long distances and kept cold during transport. 【4】 It is the production of food, not its transport, that uses most of the energy and produces most of the greenhouse gases. In some cases, local produce might have used more energy and produced more greenhouse gases than produce grown a long way away-even taking into account its transport.

It’s better to take a shower than a bath.

【5】 If you spend more than eight minutes in a shower, you’ll use as much water as in a bath-about 50 litres of water. Therefore, the key is to keep your shower time as short as possible.

Environmental awareness is now part of daily life. But it’s worth checking common ideas and opinions to see what’s really green.

A．So say no to plastic bags.

B．Here are some common ones.

C．Unfortunately, it is not that simple.

D．Eating local food is good for the environment.

E．The process also produces more greenhouse gases.

F．It’s time that we took measures to protect our environment.

G．It depends on how long you spend in the shower and how large your bath is.

25、   Boyan Slat is 26. If you saw him walking down the street, you might think he was just a student at a local technical university. And so he was, seven years ago, right before he _________ out of college.

Slat’s life began to _________ after a holiday trip to Greece with his family when he was 16. Before taking a diving course, he had _________ to see beautiful sea animals. However, what he _________ saw in the ocean was an awful lot of _________ waste. From that moment on, Slat dived into a _________ to find a solution to this alarming problem. _________ by the idea for a floating barrier that could collect plastic in the oceans, he _________ his company at the age of 18. Although the idea was named one of the best _________ of 2015 by TIME magazine, he received __________ feedback from the specialists in __________ issues.

Slat was not __________ and continued with his mission. After five and a half years’ hard work, he launched the world’s __________ ocean plastic cleanup system: System 001. The U-shaped pipe, about 609 meters in __________, snakes its way out under the Golden Gate Bridge into the Pacific. These floating barriers will capture (捕获) plastic as the ocean water flow past. Ships will collect the waste and bring it to land for __________ every few months. According to Slat, if all goes to plan, only 60 systems could __________ the amount of plastic there by as much as 50 percent by 2025.

__________, there remains a problem: what will happen to the plastic brought back to shore from Slats systems? It’s likely that lots of the waste will __________ be recycled into more single-use plastics that end up back in the __________.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Seeing the United Parcel Truck pull into my driveway, I opened the garage door knowing that another package had arrived helping us with the Christmas in July Party we were putting together for the homeless children at a local charity.

As I stood watching the driver get the packages from the back of the truck, I saw Madison, my three-year-old granddaughter, picking weeds from the lawn. “These are for my mommy and daddy,” she replied, as she held out a hand full of worthless little weeds. I just smiled and nodded my head as I looked at her tight little closed fist.

The UPT driver walked into the garage and sat the two packages down on the wooden bench. He and I stood talking about the numerous baseball gloves, baseball bats, helmets and baseballs sitting about the room. I told him I had been raised in a Jacksonville, Florida orphanage and that during my entire childhood I never once owned anything of my own. I told him that these presents were for the children themselves and not for the orphanage.

After talking for a few minutes, the driver told me he had to leave. He waved and began walking back down the driveway. I turned around, locked garage door and began walking up onto the front porch. Just as I closed the gate, Madison came running up to where I was standing.

“My flowers, my flowers,” she screamed aloud. I soon realized that I had locked her weeds in the garage.

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

“We’ll get them later,” I told her.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I turned around, walked back to the end of the porch and opened the gate.
