Within minutes,a young man approached the bar,put something in his pocket,and walked off.Gilleece posted a clip(视频片段)on the bar’s Facebook page to find out who the young man was.Within hours, Gilleece got a text from17-year-old Rivers Prather,who said he’d done it because he hadn’t eaten in two days.He said he saw the ring but thought it was fake,so he took the money and threw the wallet into the ocean.Then he bought a sandwich.Gilleece told the teen to meet him at the docks(码头).There they talked a lot and Gilleece knew that Prather was from a poor family.Seeing the teenager’s small build,Gilleece thought he was more of a kid than a criminal. However,because of the missing ring,Prather could be put into prison.Gilleece decided to help the kid.He hired two local divers to search the waters where the wallet had been thrown.More than an hour passed,with no sign of the ring.Gilleece grew worried.And then a diver popped up.In his hand was the wallet,and inside was the ring.When Gilleece called the wallet’s owner,she burst into tears and immediately dropped the charge against Prather for stealing the ring.4.What did the woman value most in her wallet?A.Her ID.B.Her credit cards.C.Her money.D.Her wedding ring.5.What did Prather do after getting the wallet?A.He kept the ring.B.He spent the money in it.C.He threw it in a dustbin.D.He returned it to the owner.6.Why did Gilleece help Prather?A.To teach the child a lesson.B.To meet the customer's demand.C.To save the forgivable child.D.To win back the reputation of his bar.7.What would happen to Prather next?A.He would be sent to prison.B.He would not be accused by the woman.C.He would get a job in Gilleece’s bar.D.He would live a better life ever after.CThis season,the bushfires in Australia have burned more than12.35million acres of land.At least25people have been killed and2000homes destroyed.According to the BBC,this is the most casualties(伤亡)from wildfires in the country since2009.The University of Sydney estimates that480million animals have died in South Wales alone.Zeke Hausfather,an energy systems analyst and climate researcher at Berkeley Earth,said warmer temperatures and extreme weather have made Australia more susceptible to fires and increased the length of the fire season.“The drier conditions combined with record high temperatures in2019created main conditions for the disastrous fires. Australia’s fires were worsened by the combination of those two.2019was the perfect storm for being the warmest year on record for Australia and the driest year on record for Australia,”Hausfather added on Friday.Kevin Trenberth,a senior scientist at the US National Center for Atmospheric Research,said warmer ocean temperatures are also contributed to more variable weather around the world.Trenberth believes that global warming contributed to energy imbalances and hot spots in the oceans,which can create a wave in the atmosphere that locks weather patterns in places,causing longer rain events in Indonesia,for example,and at the same time contributing todrought in Australia.He said that once an area experiences drought conditions for two months or more,it increases the risk of fires catching and spreading.Those changing weather patterns due to global warming make drought events longer.Climate experts stress that climate change is not the only factor in the severity of wildfires.How land is managed can also impact the amount of fuel available for fires.Practices like controlled burns and other factors can impact the risk to people and property,such as warning systems and the type of development in a given area. Changing those policies has great potential to limit future damage from wildfires along with changes to how fire management resources are dispatched(派遣).8.What do the numbers in paragraph1show?A.The causes of Australian fires.B.The results of Australian fires.C.The damaged areas of Australian fires.D.The property destruction of Australian fires.9Which of the following best explains“more susceptible to”underlined in the second paragraph?A.Quick to adapt to.B.Sure to cause.C.Sensitive to.D.Easy to be protected from.10.What can we infer from Trenberth's research?A.Global warming is the root cause of the bushfires.B.Longer dry weather contributes to global warming.C.Warmer ocean temperatures promote fires spreading.D.The imbalanced energy leads to the temperature rising.11.What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?A.To stress the effects of Australia fires.B.To show the methods for controlling burns.C.To predict the seriousness of Australia fires.D.To provide some advice about reducing damage.DLawns（草坪）are very common in the world.But why do people keep such uninteresting little plants outside their homes?They're not beautiful like flowers,they don't provide food and you have to cut them constantly.Israeli world history professor Yuval Noah Harari looked into their history and ended up“unearthing"a strange story that goes back to the Middle Ages.No one had considered putting patches of grass outside of their homes in ancient times.That changed when French and English kings started putting carefully cropped patches of grass at their castle entrances.Peasants could never afford their time or land on lawns,so these artificial lawns were a perfect status symbol of nobility.You could even assess a nobleman's wealth by looking at his lawn:if a lawn was massive and well kept,it indicated a powerful family dynasty.If it was in bad shape,the nobleman was probably broke.Humans therefore came to identify lawns with political power,social and economic wealth,"wrote Harari.When the Industrial Revolution took place in the18th and19th centuries,the middle classes started being able to afford their own suburban houses.And guess what became their status symbol?A perfectly kept lawn.The popularity of lawns continued to grow,taking over public event spaces and sportsmen.In the past,people played sports on all kinds of surfaces dirt,ice,and sand.But in the last couple centuries,they made the switch to green grass or something made to imitate green grass.Nowadays people use tons of water on lawns,even during droughts,without realizing they care for the lawns only because centuries ago kings just wanted to show off their wealth by intentionally planting something useless.“When you now come to plant your dream house,you might think twice about having a lawn in the front yard sale," wrote Harari.“You can plant something useful or imagine for yourself a Japanese rock garden,or some altogethernew creation."12.Why does the author raise the question in Paragraph1?A.To carry out a survey.B.To rethink the use of the lawn.C.To lead in the topic.D.To add fun to the text.13.Why did kings grow lawns in front of their castle?A.To beautify the environment.B.To feed some animals.C.To prove their good use.D.To show off their status.14.How might Harari feel about the lawns?A.They are creative.B.The are useless.C.They are beautiful.D.The are necessary.15.What can be the best title for the passage?A.Various ideas on lawns.B.The significance of lawns.C.The development of lawns.D.The effect of lawns on social status.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
