AFor hundreds of years, Japan has been hit, from time to time, by enormous tsunamis. These awful sudden risings of the sea are caused by earthquakes or underwater volcanic action. The story of the boy Yuuki is the story of such a disaster.Yuuki lived with his family in a sea-side village, below a small mountain. One day, as he played on top of the mountain, he felt an earthquake beneath his feet. It was not strong enough to frighten anybody and passed quickly. Soon after, however, Yuuki noticed the sea darken and begin running away from the shore very fast, leaving behind wide stretches of beach that had never been exposed before.With a gasp, Yuuki remembered reading that just before a terrible tsunami, the sea suddenly and quickly rolls backward. He ran to the beach, warning the villagers who had gather to admire the huge new stretch of beach.〝Get back!〞shouted the boy. 〝There is terrible danger!〞But no one listened. They laughed at him and continued playing in the new sand and watching the sea roll backward even more.Desperate, Yuuki could think of only one thing to do. He lit a tree branch, raced to the rice fields and began burning the stacks of harvested rice. Then he called out, 〝Fire! Fire! Everyone run to the mountain! Now!〞When everyone reached the mountain-top, a villager cried out, 〝Yuuki is mad! I saw him set the fire.〞Yuuki hung his head in shame, but said nothing as the villagers cursed him.Just then, someone cried, 〝Look!〞In the distance what seemed to be a huge dark line was speeding towards the shore. As it got nearer the people realized the long thin line of darkness was the returning sea, towering like a mountain.The villagers watched in terror as the water struck the shore, smashing over their homes then tearing out the land as it receded.On the mountain everyone stared speechlessly at the destruction below.〝I’m sorry I burned the fields,〞said Yuuki, his voice trembling.〝Yuuki,〞village-chief answered. 〝You saved us all.〞The villagers cheered and raised Yuuki into the air. 〝We were going to celebrate our rice harvest tonight,〞said one, 〝but now we'll celebrate that we're all still alive!〞41.

The idea behind Lt is simple - the larger fish are probably older. If you keep the smaller ones, they won’t be able to reproduce, and the fish population is in danger.But fishing out the largest fish from a population has an unwanted effect: Over time, fewer adult fish get really big. If only the smaller fish reproduce, then future generations become smaller. This is an example of evolution in action.One scientist, Dr David Conover has spent the last decade studying the effects ofthe 〝keep the big ones〞rule and if they can be reversed.To set up his experiment, Conover and his team caught hundreds of silverside fish and divided them into six groups. For two groups, Conover followed the 〝keep the large ones〞rule and took out the biggest fish. For two other groups, he removed only the small fish.For the last two groups, he removed fish at random (随意的).After five years, he measured the fish in each group. In the two groups where the largest fish were regularly removed, the average fish size was smaller than the average size in the other groups. Here was evolution in action: If only small fish survive to reproduce, then future generations of fish will also tend to be small. For the second five years of his experiment, Conover changed the rules and took fish randomly from each group. At the end of the experiment, he found that the fish that were in the 〝keep the large ones〞group for the first five years had started to get larger again, although he calculated it would take at least 12 years for the fish in that group to return to their original size.In other words, it takes less time to shrink than it does to recover.45. The underlined word 〝it〞(Line 2) refers to 〝〞A. the activityB. the fishC. the ruleD. the fisherman46. Why do many people follow the 〝keep the big ones, throw the small ones back〞rule?A. It helps to protect fish numbers.B. It helps to protect fish size.C. It is the custom in most countries.D. They will be punished if they don’t.47. What did Conover find after the first five years of his experiment?A. The 〝keep the big ones〞rule made no difference to fish size.B. The 〝keep the big ones〞rule made fish smaller on average.C. The 〝keep the big ones〞rule made the fish bigger on average.D. The 〝keep the big ones〞rule affected all fish populations in the same way.48. What is the author’s intention in writing this article?A. To encourage people to fish more carefully.B. To urge governments to change the rules of fishing.C. To describe the results of a scientific experiment.D. To introduce the rules of fishing to readers.CIn the story of the three little pigs, the one who built his house of straw did not do well; the big bad wolf blew it down. But builder Michael Furbish, who made his own home from bales (捆) of straw, and an elementary school from the same material, says that in reality straw houses are not only strong, but also good for the environment. Straw—the stalks (杆，茎) of plants like wheat, oats, and barley—is considered a waste material and is commonly used on farms as animal bedding. But more and more people are discovering that straw baled into rectangular blocks is an excellent and inexpensive building material.There are two ways to make a straw-bale structure. You can build load-bearing walls with them, which means the walls support the roof. Or you can build a post-and-beam wooden frame that supports the roof and fill in the walls with the bales. Either way, the walls are there to stay. And they provide great insulation(绝缘), helping keep straw houses in cold climates warm in winter and those built in hot places like the desert cool in summer. Straw is considered a "green" building material because it is a renewable resource: a whole new crop can be grown and harvested every year, easily "renewing" the supply. Also, planting and harvesting straw uses relatively little energy. "Most other building materials require a lot of energy to be produced," explains Furbish. "With straw-bale construction, you are getting a building product without using much energy at all."Furbish used about 900 straw bales in his family's two-story, three-bedroom house. His company also provided straw-bale walls for the Friends Community School of College Park in Maryland. That project used about 4,000 bales. When asked if there are any problems with living in a straw house, like mice nibbling (咬，啃) on the walls, Furbish points out that the straw is completely covered with plaster and stucco (灰泥). Besides, he has a couple of cats on mouse watch, just in case. "It would be hard to find a wall system that will wear better than straw," he says. The big bad wolf is just out of luck.49. The author wrote the passage in order to ________.A. prove that the tale of the three pigs and the wolf is wrongB. teach readers how to build straw housesC. introduce an environmentally-friendly building materialD. advertise Furbish’s special houses50. What do we learn about straw houses from the passage?A. It costs little to make such special houses.B. The outsides of the houses are green.C. They are mostly built in the desert.D. Plaster and stucco help make the houses strong.51. The writer mentions the wolf at the beginning and the end of this passage to suggest ________.A. straw houses are in fact nice and strongB. the big bad wolf can never blow the straw houses downC. the big bad wolf is very unluckyD. people in straw houses needn’t worry about wolves52. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Straw is a waste of material as animal bedding.B. Furbish built his home and an elementary school with only bales of straw.C. Building straw houses requires no energy at all.D. The roof of a straw house can be supported by a wooden frame.D〝I had a Welsh speaking test. I'd had to memorise a paragraph in front of the whole class. I just couldn’t do it,〞says 13-year-old Mary. 〝I pretended to be ill.〞But Mary did not enjoy her day off. 〝I watched TV all day — it was boring. I wished I had gone to school.〞Mary’s story is not unusual in Britain. According to the latest government figures, pupil absences are rising, despite schools taking a hard line on truancy (逃学)．Philippa James, a PhD researcher at Cardiff University’s school of social sciences, thinks she knows why: 〝The more schools improve methods of detection, the more children work out better methods of deception.〞Teenagers told her it was now harder to skip a single lesson, so they’d miss whole days to avoid being caught.For several years, James has researched student truancy of 60 teenagers, aged 13 and 14, including Mary, to see how the teenagers truant, for how long, and why.Through online conversations and face-to-face interviews, she discovered that most truancy was 〝a response to factors within the school〞. Truants are not necessarily less advanced or less intelligent. They complained of teachers who failed to engage them, and of 〝boring〞lessons. 〝Many truants really enjoy school and believe in education, but drop out when aspects of it were ineffective.〞James says.The views of students like Adam, who believes that skipping lessons has little impact on his schooling, were common. 〝I only take-off for a lesson, or a couple of days. It doesn’t affect my education,〞he told James.James’ study concludes that schools need to address the question of why pupils want to leave in the first place. 〝Pupils need help from the start.〞she says. 〝It’s a two-way process – schools must be responsive. We need to look at the reasons for truancy rather than the number, so that instead of walking away fromschool, students have the skills and chances to talk through problems and make a change.〞53. What is one of the rea sons for school truancy according to James’ study?A. Truants are fallen behind in their studies.B. Truants have no interest in school subjects.C. Truants have more interesting things to do.D. Truants are not satisfied with the teachers.54. The underlined phrase 〝taking a hard line〞(paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to 〝〝.A. experiencing a problem withB. having a strict attitude towardsC. finding it difficult to solveD. having little success with55. By citing Adam's remark, James wants to show that .A. school education is not efficient and needs improvementB. it’s a popular belief that occasional truancy won't cause much harmC. school truancy is becoming more serious and needs more concernD. even good students may sometimes need a break from school56. What is Philippa James’ suggestion to schools?A. Schools should solve the problem of teachers.B. Schools should be more active in helping beginner truants.C. Schools should have a better control of hidden truants.D. Schools should find out who truant and how they it.EFor travellers with a sense of adventure and who so want to experience some of the history and mystery of the ancient world, here is a list of cool destinations that you may want to consider for your next holiday.Angkor Wat, CambodiaBuilt in the 12th century, Angkor Wat (meaning 〝capital monastery〞) was a temple in the ancient Khmer capital city of Angkor. It is Cambodia’s best-known tourist attraction and appears on the country’s flag. The temple is known for its beautiful architecture and reliefs. You'll need at least three days to fully discover the delights of the magnificent site.Machu Picchu, PeruMachu Picchu was built high in the Andes Mountains of South America by the Inca in the 15th century. Although well preserved its exact purpose is unknown. It is famous throughout the world not only for its incredible design but also for the natural beauty that surrounds it. Give yourself a week to explore this magnificent site and make you’re fit as there wil l be a lot of climbing.Stonehenge, EnglandThe entire Stonehenge site was constructed over thousands of years. But why and how it was built remains a mystery. As the weather can be pretty bleak in winter and the crowds huge in summer, we suggest autumn is the best time to visit these monster rocks.Pompeii, ItalyWhen Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D., Pompeii was buried under many layers of ash, preserving the city exactly as it was when the volcano erupted. Because so many objects were preserved, archaeologists and visitors are able to better understand daily life in the ancient Roman Empire.57.

Space TravelCIn 2018, Pakistan promised to plant ten billion trees in an effort to slow climate change and to save a land that has been destroyed.That program, whose name is 10 Billion Trees Tsunami, has been taking effect slowly for the past two years, but it recently has received unexpected help from the coronavirus（新冠病毒）. Many Pakistanis are suddenly unemployed, so the government has given them jobs astree-planters. Unemployed day laborers have been turned into "jungle workers", planting trees for 500 rupees a day（$3）. It's not much, but it can help the unemployed get by.As the coronavirus struck Pakistan, the 10 Billion Trees campaign was halted as part of social distancing orders put in place to slow the spread of the virus. But earlier this month, the government allowed the forestry agency to restart the program and create more than 63, 600 jobs.The program is employing three times the number of planters as it normally does, and the planting season has been extended from May（its usual end）throughout June, in order to keep workers employed. All workers are being told to wear masks and keep two meters of distance from others.Shahid Rashid Awan, project director for Punjab province, said the project hopes to reach 50 million trees this year. “We can absorb all the unemployed laborers and workers who have fled the cities and returned to their villages in the past few weeks.”A study declared tree planting to be an effective way to store carbon, and if planted in large quantities around the globe, a powerful solution to climate change. While it won’t fix every climate-related problem we have, it can go a long way if done widely, which is exactly what Pakistan is trying to do with such impressive determination.And the workers will benefit greatly, too. Not only are they able to earn money and support their families at a difficult time, but they’re outside in the fresh air, away from the potential health risks from more tightly-packed urban environments. It’s a brilliant idea that all country leaders should consider copying.8.How does the coronavirus influence Pakistan?A.A lot of animals are starving.B.Many people are out of work.C.Much land is left unmanaged.D.The government has lost power.9.Which of the following best explains "halted" underlined in Paragraph 3?A.Agreed.B. Discussed.C. Stopped.D. Doubted.10. Why is the project environmentally-friendly?A. Financial support has been gained because of it.B. It has persuaded people to plant trees in big cities.C. Many laborers produce much less carbon dioxide.D. It can contribute to fighting against climate change.11. What does the author think of Pakistan's move?A. It serves as a good example.B. It is not fit for other countries.C. It is a waste of time and money.D. It brings many economic benefits.DWhen the leaves begin to change their colors and the birds head south, we know the season is starting to change. On September 7 comes White Dew (白露), the 15th solar term (节气) of the year. It indicates the beginning of the cool autumn. As the temperature falls, white dew is often seen on the grass and trees at night.For writers and poets, autumn is a difficult season to descr ibe. It’s the end of the summer, and therefore a little sad. The days seem to get shorter, and when you wake in the morning, there’s mist(薄雾) and it’s cooler. Winter is just around the corner.American writer Ernest Hemingway wrote in his book A Moveable Feast, “You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare (光秃秃的) against the wind and the cold, wintry light.But on the other hand, autumn has its good side. There are so many changes at this time of year, such as the colorful leaves and cooler nights. French writer Albert Camus even thought autumn was a second spring, “when every leaf is a flower.” This view is also found in the most famous autumn poem in English literature, To Autumn by John Keats. In that poem, Keats says that autumn has its own songs, just like spring.Another theme of this season is wisdom. The arrival of autumn is thought to be similar to a person becoming mature (成熟的).The great Irish poet W.B. Yeats used this idea in his poem The Wild Swans at Coole writing about the changing seasons in Coole Park in the west of Ireland. Seeing and counting 59 swans, he remembers first making the count as a young man. Seeing the swans do the same thing for all those years, he’s reminded that even though we get older, our hearts always stay the same age.12. What can be concluded about White Dew?A. It is often ignored by writers and poets.B. It is the time of year with the most rainfall.C. It is when the temperature begins to drop.D. It indicates the end of the autumn.13. A Moveable Feast was mentioned to ______.A. point out that autumn is very coldB. present the sad part of autumnC. show that winter w ill soon comeD. express sadness about the end of life14. What does “this idea” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Autumn is an important season for man.B. We can always stay young at heart.C. Autumn is related to one’s growing old.D. Nature is full of lessons to be learned.15. What’s the article mainly about?A. The solar term White Dew.B. Why autumn is a sad season.C. Autumn weather and activities.D. Famous writers’ description of autumn.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。
