1．There are as many different types of sleeper as there are animal varieties on the planet.There are dozers，dreamers，nappers and hardcore dead-to-the-worlders.
Dolphins
Dolphins face a bit of a problem as they spend their whole lives in the water，but as mammals they need to breathe oxygen to survive.How do they juggle this when unconscious？Dolphins shut down half of their brain，which rests，while the other half is alert and looking out for any potential dangers.As they do this，the dolphin will lie on the surface of the water in a behaviour known as "logging".
Elephants
Elephants tend to nod off for a few minutes at a time throughout the day.Elephants only manage about two hours of sleep per day，and that's not even a concentrated block of shuteye.They tend to nod off for a few minutes at a time throughout the day.Possibly because of this，most of their sleeping is done standing up，with just the occasional recumbent （伏臥的） sleep.
Spiders
Of course spiders have to be awkward.Even though animals sleep in a vast array of different ways，all of them，even bacteria，follow a 24 hour cycle，known as a circadian rhythm that is dictated by the rotation of the Earth.But scientists have discovered that certain types of orb-weaving spiders simply don't bother with this.Their body clocks follow a 17，18 or 19 hour cycle.Scientists aren't exactly sure how the spider can even exist with this completely different body clock.
Koalas
One problem with trying to work out a creature's sleeping habits is the difficulty of identifying what is actual sleep.It's easier to study captive animals，but they can behave in a completely different manner to their cousins in the wild.Koalas studied in zoos were thought to sleep for up to 22 hours a day，but a more detailed study，looking at animals in the wild too，revealed that they in fact sleep for around 14 hours a day plus a healthy amount of resting on top of that.Their diet of eucalyptus leaves takes a lot of time and energy to digest.
Frogs
Frogs are incredible.They have managed to master practically every environment on the planet，no matter how hot or how cold.They not only use hibernation in winter as a sleep strategy，they also engage in something called estivation，where they reach a dormant state during the summer months to avoid overly hot or dry conditions.Despite all this knowledge，scientists aren't sure exactly how frogs sleep during the months when they are active.
（1）Which animal sleeps the longest hours a day according to the passage？
A．The dolphin.
B．The koala.
C．The spider.
D．The elephant.
（2）What is still confusing to scientists？
A．How they can identify what is actual sleep.
B．How dolphins breathe oxygen when sleeping.
C．How spiders can survive a different body clock.
D．How frogs sleep when they are not hibernating or estivating.
（3）What is the passage mainly about？
A．Why animals sleep differently.
B．What animals do while sleeping.
C．The extraordinary ways that animals sleep.
D．The mystery about different types of sleeper.組卷：4引用：1難度：0.5 -
2．When Thomas Panek lost his eyesight more than 25 years ago，the avid runner doubted he would ever pursue his lifelong passion again.
Indeed，although Panek had been crazy about running since high school，the idea of running blind seemed altogether too challenging.But he did manage to keep his dream alive– with help from human guides who assisted him on each run.
Even so，the real joy of the run - the thrill of independence that comes from conquering a course on your own terms - eluded （躲避） him. "When you're tied to another person，it's no longer your own race，" the 48-year-old said. "The independence isn't quite there."
Then Panek found a friend - indeed，man's best friend - who would help him achieve that sense of purpose.He started running with a guide dog named Gus.Not only did Panek rediscover his love for running，but，along the way，he founded Guiding Eyes for the Blind，an organization dedicated to providing service dogs for the visually disabled.
On March 16，Gus glided across the finish line with his human at the New York City Half Marjye.aihon.At that moment，they both breezed into the history books.Panek，who finished the course in a little more than two hours and 20 minutes，became the first blind runner to complete the race led by dogs.
Brandishing their respective medals，Panek and Gus - who would retire after the race - shared a breathless embrace. "It's a little emotional for me because he's been there with me the whole time，" Panek said.
But Panek was quick to point out that it wasn't just Gus who provided the wind beneath his running shoes.In all，three guide dogs helped him see his way to the finish line.Siblings Westley and Waffle picked up the early legs of the course，each running between five and eight kilometers of the 21-kilometer race.
With retirement looming，it would be the faithful yellow lab's last race.But for Panek，the road ahead remains long and bright - not only for him，but for anyone with a disability who still hopes to run down a dream.
（1）When did Thomas become blind？
A．When he was about 23.
B．When he was 25 years old.
C．When he was in high school.
D．When he was 48 years old.
（2）Why did Panek get himself the guide dog Gus？
A．Because he didn't want to have another person with him.
B．Because he wanted to found Guiding Eyes for the Blind.
C．Because he wanted to help those with visual disability.
D．Because he wanted to enjoy the delight of running independently.
（3）What do we learn about the dog Gus from the passage？
A．It was the first dog to lead a blind runner at the Half Marathon.
B．It ran the whole course of the New York City Half Marathon.
C．It ran about eight kilometers with Thomas Panek at the race.
D．It wouldn't be working as a guide dog to Thomas Panek any more.
（4）Which of the following best shows Thomas's qualities as a runner？
A．Independent and caring.
B．Passionate and persistent.
C．Crazy and emotional.
D．Kind and helpful.組卷：6引用：1難度：0.7 -
3．An international team has identified two areas in China where the scale of carbon dioxide absorption by new forests has been underestimated.Taken together，these areas account for a little over 35% of China's entire land carbon "sink"，the group says.
The two previously under-appreciated carbon sink areas are centred on China's southwest，in Yunnan，Guizhou and Guangxi；and its northeast，particularly Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces.
These provinces have established a pattern of rapid afforestation（造林）of progressively larger regions，with provincial forest areas increasing by between 0.04 million and 0.44 million hectares per year over the past 10 to 15 years.
"Bold scientific statements must be supported by massive amounts of evidence and this is what we have done in this study." Professor Paul Palmer，a co-author from Edinburgh University told the BBC.
"We have collected together a range of ground-based and satellite data-driven evidence to form a consistent and robust （有力的） narrative about the Chinese carbon cycle."
China's increasing leafiness has been evident for some time.Billions of trees have been planted in recent decades，to deal with desertification and soil loss，and to establish vibrant timber（木材） and paper industries.
Data from NASA Earth satellites shows that human activity in China and India dominate this greening of the planet，thanks to tree planting and agriculture.Satellite data（2000–2017）reveal a greening pattern that is strikingly remarkable in China and India and overlaps （重疊） with croplands world-wide.
China alone accounts for 25% of the global net increase in leaf area with only 6.6% of global vegetated area.
（1）According to the passage，which of the following is true about the two newly-identified areas？
A．They are based on Southeast and Northwest China.
B．Their forests have absorbed over 35% of China's carbon dioxide.
C．They take up over one third of China's entire land carbon sink areas.
D．Their forest areas have increased from 0.04 to 0.44 million hectares per year.
（2）China has planted more trees in recent decades in order to.
A．keep the soil fertile
B．set up more factories
C．turn the deserts into green land
D．prevent useful land from changing into desert
（3）The passage is most probably taken from.
A．a(chǎn) science fiction
B．a(chǎn) news website
C．a(chǎn)n academic report
D．a(chǎn) travelling brochure
（4）Which of the following may be the best title for the passage？
A．Carbon Sink Areas in China
B．China Aims High in Afforestation
C．China and India Lead the Way in Greening
D．China's Forest Carbon Absorption Underestimated組卷：5引用：1難度：0.5

9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語(yǔ)續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
A boulder（巨石），as big as a house.That's how the guidebook described Giant Rock.Dad said it arrived here millions of years ago.I was finally going to see it，in snowshoes，with my two older cousins，my dad，and my uncle Don.I'd been snowshoeing before，and I liked the adventure of hiking through deep snow.
At the parking area，after putting on our snowshoes，we studied the map.Due to the geographical location，electrical devices are inaccessible here.The map is our only guide. "We start here，" Dad said， "on the red trail （小路）.Then we turn left onto the purple road.That's where Giant Rock is." "Remember to stick together and don't wander off，guys，" Uncle Don said.
The trail ran uphill alongside a stone wall.It was easy to follow because red markers were nailed to the trees and the snow had been packed down by other hikers.At the top of the hill，we turned onto the purple trail.We settled into a pattern，with Dad and everyone else in front and me in the back，crunching（嘎吱嘎吱地踩） through the snow.I saw lots of animal tracks---mostly deer，squirrel，and rabbit prints.As the trail wound down，my cousin Andrew said what I'd been thinking： "Will we ever reach Giant Rock？" My cousin Aiden smiled and turned to me， "Luke，do you think your dad invented this idea just to get us away from the TV for a while？" I laughed. "You never know."
Finally，we climbed a hill and saw the massive boulder sitting alone in the forest.It really is as big as a house!My cousins and I high-fived each other and jogged until we stood at the base，breathless.Standing in the boulder's broad shadow，I noticed the sun had sunk lower.
"Let's head back，" Dad said after a few minutes. "There will be several crossroads on the way back.Guys，keep up with the team." Soon we were crunch-crunch-crunching our way home.I was a little behind the group when we approached a crossroads.And I noticed a set of animal tracks I didn't recognize，so I followed them for a closer look.
注意：
1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為 150 左右；
2.請(qǐng)按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
