24、Today there are many more fires than in the past. Over 100 000 wildfires burn each year in America. Russia has 20 000 to 35 000 wildfires every year. Australia has on average 60 000 each year. These fires destroy(损害) huge areas of forests and burn hundreds of homes.

Many experts believe there are several reasons for this sudden increase in fires. The first reason is climate(气候)change. Recent weather has been warmer and drier. This leads to dangerous fire conditions. When lightning strikes(发生雷击), dry grass easily catches fire. Hot winds add to the problem. The wind spreads a fire quickly. In 2010, Russia had the hottest and driest summer in a century. In just one month, 500 fires destroyed over 2 000 homes. Some people lost their lives.

Traditional fire-fighting practices are another reason for the increase in fires. In America, firefighters used to quickly put out every fires. They didn’t allow the grass and trees to burn. As a result, today many forests have thicker vegetation(植被). Thicker vegetation means more fuel for fires. Also, without fires from time to time, forests become overcrowded and unhealthy. Some trees are dead. The dead wood then easily catches fire. So surprisingly, America has many more fires today partly because of its past fire-fighting practices.

Scientists now understand that a fire can be a natural part of a healthy forest. As a result, countries like Australia allow more fires to burn naturally. Sometimes, firefighters even start fires to get rid of dead wood. Of course, they carefully control the fires. The fire thins out old trees. This allows sunlight to reach the ground. As a result, fires help new trees to grow. Therefore, if a fire is not a serious threat to people, firefighters may let it burn naturally.

【1】Why did Russia have so many fires in one month in 2010?

A. Because lighting spread a fire.

B. Because there was much fuel for fires.

C. Because there were not enough firefighters. 

D. Because it was unusually hot, dry and windy.

【2】 What is the main idea of paragraph 4?

A. Fires are serious threats to human beings.

B. Fires can play an important role in forests.

C. Australian firefighters don’t put out fires.

D. It’s difficult for firefighters to control the fires.

25、   They hang from trees. They float in rivers and oceans. They are piled up in landfills(垃圾填埋场). Our frequent use of plastic products has, for many years, been a leading cause of serious environmental problems in the world. Last month, China drew up new guidelines(指导方针) aiming to bring plastic pollution under control across the country in five years’ time.

According to the new guidelines, the ban(禁令) on the use of non-biodegradable(不可生物降解的) plastic bags will have been applied to cities including Beijing and Shanghai by the end of this year. Other sources of plastic garbage will have been banned in these cities by the end of 2022. And that rule will have extended nationwide by late 2025.

Fortunately, China will not start from zero. Late last year, the country announced a national standard for biodegradable plastic shopping bags. It is technologically prepared for their production. Some regions have gained valuable experience that others can learn from. For example, Jilin province is leading the way by providing eco-friendly(环保的) shopping bags in some local supermarkets.

Given the size of China’s consumer market, one main obstacle(障碍) is the large number of plastic items that are being used by restaurants and e-commerce(电子商务) platforms. It’s estimated that nearly 25 billion plastic bags were used for deliveries in 2018. Most of them were rarely reused.

However, most Chinese people welcomed the government’s effort to reduce the use of plastics. “Beijing is thinking about the problem seriously,” said Tang Damin, a member of Greenpeace East Asia in Beijing. He added that the policy could be far more effective(有效) by using incentives(激励) such as a deposit(押金) return program on plastic products.

C.plastic bags won’t be allowed to be used in Beijing by the end of 2022

D.a deposit return program on plastic products will be put into practicing in 2023

【3】What is the biggest challenge to follow the guidelines?

A.Most Chinese people aren’t used to using paper bags.

B.It’s hard to make effective policy to solve the problem.

27、   Which topic drew the most attention from people around the world in 2019? It was climate change, according to three well-known English dictionaries.

The Oxford, Collins and Cambridge dictionaries chose “climate emergency (气候紧急状态)", “climate strike (罢工)” and “upcycling”, respectively (分别地), as their Word of the Year". This tells us that climate change was a widely-discussed issue in 2019.

“Climate emergency” means a situation in which urgent (紧急的) action is needed to reduce climate change. “Climate strike” refers to people leaving work or school to call for more action to protect the environment. “Upcycling” refers to making new items out of old or used items to reduce waste.

Climate change has already affected the world in many ways. Take Venice, for example. Due to climate change, Venice experienced the worst flooding it has seen in the last 50 years in 2019. Many stores, restaurants and hotels were flooded. This caused serious damage totaling hundreds of millions of euros (欧元).

Although we've known about global warming for a long time, our large companies and governments have been slow to respond to it. The year 2019 might have been the turning point that will finally encourage our leaders to take responsibility.

“Decades ago, when the science on the climate issue was first increasing, the impacts (影响) could be seen as an issue for future generations,” Katharine Mach, a Stanford University climate scientist, told The New York Times. “ It's definitely our issue now.”

However, simply realizing that climate change is a threat (威胁) is not enough. We must take real action before it is too late.

【1】According to the three well-known English dictionaries, people paid the most attention to_______ in 2019 .

A.Word of the Year B.climate change C.the environment D.global warming

【2】________directly requests people to reduce waste.

A.Climate emergency B.Climate strike C.Upcycling D.Climate change

【3】The flooding in Venice in Paragraph 4 tells us________.

A.how climate change has affected the world

B.Venice is a dangerous place to live in

C.Venice suffered serious damage in 2019

D.climate changed a lot in the world in 2019

【4】What the climate scientist Mach said means________.

A.future generations will suffer the climate issue

B.climate change has increased for many years

C.many scientists are working on the climate issue

D.we must take actions to deal with climate change right now

【5】From the passage, we can infer that________.

A.the leaders will take responsibility to protect the environment

B.people will use the three well-known English dictionaries

C.the climate issue will be more and more serious in the future

D.people will leave work or school to protect the environment.

28、根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。每空限填一词。

SEPT 10 is a day for us to say thank you to teachers. But next year we might do it on a【1】 day. A draft amendment（修正案草案）on education laws proposes（提议）to m【2】 Teachers’ Day to Sept 28, which is believed to be the birthday of Confucius（551-479BC）.

The Chinese mainland started to c【3】 Teachers’ Day in 1985. There was no special reason why Sept 10 was chosen.

But many people think it’s not a good choice.

Teachers are always too busy on Sept 10, because the new t【4】 starts at the beginning of the month. If the day is at the end of September, it will be near the National Day and teachers can enjoy the two holidays t【5】.

Besides, people think Teachers’Day should fall on a day with a special historical and cultural m【6】. That’s why Sept 28 is a good choice.

Confucius is an important educationalist and philosopher in Chinese history. His ideas help shape our values. He tells us to love our family and respect（尊敬）the elderly.

More importantly, Confucius started Chinas private education s【7】 . There were 3,000 students who ever learned by Confucius. It is said that twenty-two of them had learned six arts, and Confucius spoke highly of ten of them. Chinese people name him as the “best teacher in ancient times” and a “model teacher for generations”.

Currently, the State Council（国务院）is collecting p【8】 opinion the change.

In an online survey on sina.com, 65 percent of people supported the change as of Sept 10. But about 31 percent were a【9】 it. They believed it is nothing but formalism（形式主义）.

Zhang Feiran, 13, from Changsha, Hunan gave his teachers cards as gifts on Sept 10. “To me, it doesn’t matter which day is Teachers’ Day. It’s just a day to remind（提醒）me o【10】 every year to be grateful to teachers,” he said.

One day, Tamika went to Grandpa’s room to ask for a story. She stopped at the door _______ grandpa was rehearsing (排演). He had his book in his hand and he was reading his lines aloud. Then he stopped reading and looked into the mirror, _______ changing his face into a face that Tamika had never seen before. It was a hard face with a tight mouth and cold eyes. It was a face that could never love her or _______.

Tamika stood watching _______ saying a word, as grandpa changed his face back and read some more lines from his book. Her legs were stiff (僵硬的) from standing, but she still _______ to go back to her room and sat on the bed. It seemed that her stomach was filled with plenty of strange things that made her ________.
