2 . 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。续写的词数应为150左右。

On the plains of northwest Oklahoma, you can see for miles: nothing but grass, masses of evergreen trees and steep red-rock canyons(峡谷). But with my telescope, I could see the helicopters, one after another clearly, dumping water on a wildfire in the far distance. I wasn’t concerned by the small cloud of smoke snaking skyward. It had to be at least 50 miles away, even across the South Canadian River.

That afternoon, my uncle Larry, my cousin Tony and I had driven to this 4, 000-acre farm for a three-day hunt. I took a few pictures of bushy trees and grand canyons. Then I sent some of them with my cellphone to my wife, Ande, who was 60 miles away. “There’s nothing to worry about. Just have a nice day.” I typed. She had seen the fire on the news and called a few minutes earlier to warn me. Anyway, I didn’t want her to be worried.

The wind had picked up, blowing hard from the southwest. We climbed into the vehicle, with Larry driving, to look for places to hunt the turkeys the next day. We headed north along a small road and stopped here and there to look for signs of turkeys.

We drove for about a mile before Larry turned to head back south, toward the farmhouse. As we did, my eyes went wide. A wall of flames was racing toward us, maybe three quarters of a mile away. “Get us out of here!” I screamed. Larry speeded up the vehicle, bouncing hard along the small road. How had the fire jumped over the river? The flames would be on us in no time. With a fence blocking the way, we jumped out of the vehicle. Then I made a phone call to Ande. “We’re surrounded by fire,” I shouted over the howling wind. “Call 911! We need a helicopter to get us out of here.” The connection went dead.

Paragraph 1:

I looked around, but I couldn’t see Larry and Tony.

When I woke up, I found myself in a helicopter.

3 . 阅读下面材料, 在空白处填入1个适当的单词或所给单词的正确形式。将答案填写在答题卡的相应位置。

World Soil Day     1     (hold) every year on 5 December as a means to focus attention on the importance of soil health and to advocate for the sustainable management of soil resources. The UN General Assembly declared     2     first World Soil Day in 2014.

As we all know, the     3     (result) of climate change are increasingly unpredictable. Knowing the land, therefore, becomes essential in order to prevent damage     4     can do harm to soil health.

World Soil Day 2022 and its campaign, “Soils: Where food begins”, aims     5     (raise) awareness of the importance of maintaining ecosystems and human well-being by     6     (address) the growing challenges in soil management, increasing soil awareness and encouraging societies to improve soil health.

Soil nutrient loss is a major soil degradation (退化) process threatening nutrition.     7     is recognized as being among the most critical problems at a global level for food security and sustainability all around the globe. Agricultural production will have to increase by 60% to meet the global food demand in 2050     8     up to 58% more food could be produced through sustainable soil management.

Our lives depend     9     soils-the mix of mineral and organic matter combined with air, water, and microbes. Without     10     (health) soils, every living creature on Earth is at risk.

4 . As temperatures soar, electric bills often go through the roof. That’s because people tend to turn on their air conditioners during the long, hot summer months.

It’s been predicted that by 2050 about 75 percent of the world’s homes could have air conditioners. If that’s true, the energy required to cool buildings will double. For that reason, researchers continue to look for solutions to keep air-conditioner usage to a minimum. Some innovations are being used already or are in the process of being developed. Certain building materials can feel cooler because of their ability to absorb heat and release it slowly. Other buildings use water cooling systems to cool them. However, these aren’t the only methods. Science has a few more tricks up its sleeve.

Researchers at Purdue University have developed the world’s whitest paint. This paint can keep a building’s exterior surface cooler than the surrounding temperature. On hot days, walls absorb heat and often become 10 to 20 degrees Celsius hotter than the air around them. But walls painted with Purdue’s white paint reflect 98.1 percent of the heat and send it back into space. This creates a cooling effect.

Purdue professor Xiulin Ruan believes that the super-white paint could have a more powerful cooling effect than many home air conditioners. Researchers hope to have the paint on the market in five to 10 years.

Yi Zheng of Northeastern University has created a “cooling paper”. This material reflects the sun’s rays while pulling heat out of a building’s interior, and the paper can be recycled. He and his team discovered that the paper helps bring down a room’s temperature by about 6 degrees Celsius. Zheng hopes that the cooling paper will someday be used on roofs and within building materials.

Now and in the future, perhaps some of these energy-efficient methods will make it easier to beat the heat.

3. What can we infer according to Yi Zheng?

A．The surface of a buildings is better covered with paper.

B．Buildings will be built mostly with cooling paper someday.

C．The cooling paper will be practical and eco-friendly building materials.

D．The cooling paper can bring down a room’s temperature more than air conditioners.

4. Which of the following would be the best title?

A．Purdue’s White Paint: A New Material to Cool Buildings

B．Cool Buildings: Innovative Ways to Keep Buildings Cool

C．Cool Building Materials: Solutions to Fight against Climate Change

D．Future Air Conditioners: New Energy-efficient Methods to Beat the Heat

5 . Popcorm Park Zoo is not like most zoos. It is a very special place.

This unusual place was not originally a zoo. At first it was called the Forked River Animal Care Center. The workers there looked after lost or unwanted cats and dogs. Today the center is part of the zoo, but now many other kinds of animals are helped there, too.

The changes to the center began in 1977 when a raccoon(浣熊)needed help. One of its front paws(爪子)had been badly hurt. The workers cared for the animal. Finally it was better, but it could not care for itself. The raccoon was allowed to live there. Then a hurt deer was brought there for help. It, too, stayed there after it got well.

Once people heard about the wonderful work being done at the center, they began taking all kinds of hurt or homeless animals there. Soon it was no longer just a home for cats and dogs. So many animals were living there that it became more like a zoo.

Popcorn Park Zoo got its funny name because many of the animals there like to eat popcorn made without oil or salt. The popcorn is sold there to help make money to care for the animals. People buy the popcorn to feed the animals as a treat.

Popcorn Park Zoo now looks after more than 200 kinds of animals. Many of them live freely there. Some of the gentler ones, such as goats, sheep, geese, and deer, walk among the visitors who come to see them. Others are kept in large closed-in areas almost like their natural homes. All the animals there get care and love.

1. Before 1977, the center was a home for          .

A．lost or unwanted cats and dogs

2. How did the workers in the center help the raccoon?

A．They changed its front paws.

B．They cured it and let it live there.

C．They sent it back to its home.

D．They built another home just for it.

3. The popcom is sold in Popcom Park Zoo to           .

A．treat the visitors	B．reward the workers
C．trick the animals	D．raise money

4. What can we learn about animals in the zoo from the last paragraph?

A．They all live in closed-in areas.

B．Some of them can walk out of the zoo freely.

C．All of them are taken good care of.

D．Some of them have already returned to nature.

6 . Even if you live a green lifestyle at home，it's possible to ignore that travels may be harmful to the environment. Here are some steps you can take to reduce the harm that comes from traveling.

    1    If you can reach a destination by train，choose one. It's a great way to see a destination and has a less environmental impact than flying. Use local public transport and travel on foot or by bike to explore smaller areas.

    2     Where you choose to sleep at night plays a key role in being a green traveler. If you are going to the mountains or into the countryside，look for an eco–friendly place to stay. Even during city travel，you can find environmentally friendly hotels.

Make clear the environmental challenges. Every country has environmental challenges to deal with. For some，it is plastic bags，for others the amount of energy used on air conditioning or heating. Make sure you know them and act responsibly. Use water wisely，for example，when you are in dry countries.

    3     Don't forget your green habits just because you are on holiday. Keep clean and save energy just like at home. Bring a couple of containers to pack and try your best to avoid any one–off packaging.

A．Be as green as you are at home.

B．Find eco–friendly accommodation.

C．Eat locally grown foods as much as possible.

D．Choose a green means of transportation.

Venice of Italy is one of the world's top tourist     1     (destination). Before the COVID-19, around 20 million visitors visited the city a year, which caused many problems such as pollution from ships and being overcrowded.    2     (deal) with these problems, city officials are planning to charge tourists for visiting the city's historical centre and its beautiful canals (运河). According to Italian La Stampa newspaper, visitors may spend between 3 euros and 10 euros     3     (enter) into Venice. This probably starts from     4     summer of 2022. There are also plans to set a limit on the number of visitors     5     can enter the centre each day.     6     may be necessary for tourists to book their visit to Venice ahead of time.

Venice officials     7     (talk) for many years about the number of visitors crowding to the city.

Venice's famous squares and architecture are also ad-vised to put under the     9     (protect). Italian Culture Minister says that Venice should     10     (add) to the list of Danger Sites of United Nations' culture agency. However, a hotel worker says Venice needs tourists because they spend big.
