The air was cool and bullfrogs croaked.

12、It was that brief moment when the summer sun had set but the stars hadnt yet appeared. Lina rubbed her eyes and looked around.Hello? she called. Celia? Marie?There was no response.The moon was rising now, shedding light on the island. They had always called it Forgotten Island because no one but the

13、y seemed to remember its existence. It wasnt on any of the maps they could find, and even the forest rangers didnt know about it. Lina loved that the island, hidden in a heavily-wooded side stream of the river, was a secret between the three friends -her, Celia, and Marie.But now Lina was here alone

14、, and it was night. Worse still, it was her own fault.Come on, Lina, let Marie row the boat. Celia had said. Marie was two years older than Lina, but she was a hopeless rower. Thats why Lina refused and rowed the boat to the island. The argument that followed the refusal took the usual form. Celia t

15、ook Maries side, as she always did. Lina had exploded and yelled at them to just leave. So they got back in the boat and left.A bolt of lightning crossed the darkened sky, accompanied by a deafening thunder clap. The storm was here. As the first cold raindrop slid down her neck, Linas mind returned

16、to her current problem. She was stuck here by herself. She just hoped she didnt become as forgotten as the island. The thought of it sent a chill（寒意）down her back.Suddenly, Lina spotted something in the water. It was a boat, and inside it were Marie, Celia, and Maries dad, who was steering through t

17、he fast flowing waters. As the boat approached, they saw Lina waving and the worried expressions on their faces turned to relief.In her excitement Lina jumped into the river. Only once she was in the icy water did she remember how fast the water was moving. Luckily a strong arm reached into the wate

18、r and pulled her out. She smiled weakly at Maries dad and, without a word, hugged Celia and Marie. They didnt seem to mind becoming wet.1、What can be inferred about the island？AIt is very near the ocean.BIt is a popular place for boating.CIt is surrounded by thick forest.DIt has never been reached b

Thats what most people in China felt like thissummer.

29、In fact, the entire northern hemisphere(半球 )saw high temperatures in July.The Arctic Circle was no exception(例外). Temperatures in the city of Norilsk, which is in the Arctic Circle, reached a record high of 32 , The Atlantic reported. Temperatures there are usually just 10 at this time of the year.T

30、he heat wave in the Arctic is mainly a long-term result of global warming, according to the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences. In fact, while the whole world is getting warmer, the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet. This is called the polar amplification effect（極地放大效

31、應(yīng)）.The most direct impact of Arctic warming is the melting of Arctic ice. According to NASA, Arctic sea ice is now disappearing at a rate of 13.2 percent every 10 years. NASA said that if this continues, the Arctic will have no ice by the year 2040.This has put some Arctic animals, like polar bears,

32、 in danger. The ice that the bears live on has shrunk(縮小), the Toronto Star reported.Melting ice can also cause sea levels to rise in the long term. Since 1993, sea levels have risen at a rate of 3.2 cm every 10 years, the Guardian reported. Some countries, such as Tuvalu（圖瓦魯） in the South Pacific O

33、cean and Maldives（馬爾代夫） in the Indian Ocean, are at risk of disappearing into the sea1、Which of the following is true?ASome countries in the ocean will disappear in 10 yearsBChina is the hottest in the northern hemisphere this summerCThe temperatures in Norilsk used to be lower than this summer.DThe

36、nto the sea24（8分） I never seen the night nor seen a star; Ive seen neither spring nor fall nor winter. I was born at the end of the Reining Age(剎車時(shí)代), just as the Earths rotation(旋轉(zhuǎn)) was coming to a final stop.The Reining lasted for 42 years, three years longer than the Unity Government had planned.

37、 My mother once told me about the time our family witnessed the last sunset. The Sun had ever so slowly crept toward the horizon, almost as if it had stopped moving altogether. In the end, it took three days and three nights to finally set. Naturally, that was the end of all “days” and all “nights”.

38、 The Eastern Hemisphere(半球) was covered in weak light for a long time then, perhaps for a dozen years or so with the Sun hiding just beyond the horizon its rays reflected by half of the sky. It was during that long sunset that I was born.Dusk did not mean darkness. The Northern Hemisphere was lit up

39、 by the Earth Engines. These giant engines had been raised all across Asia and North America; only the solid plates beneath those two continents could resist the great pushing forces they exerted. There were about 12,000 Earth Engines built and distributed across the Asian and American plains.From m

40、y home I could see the bright plasma plumes(等離子氣柱) of several hundred Earth Engines. Just imagine a titanic palace, one as large as the Parthenon on the Acropolis. Now imagine countless titanic pillars rising from that palace, reaching to the heavens, each releasing brilliant, bluish-white light lik

41、e a titanic shining tube. And then there is you; you are a microbe on the palaces floor. This only begins to paint the picture of the world we lived in.This picture, however, is not yet complete. In order to survive the melting temperature of the expanding sun, we have to push the Earth away from it

42、. First, the Earth must be stopped from rotating. Only the forces acting tangentially(正切地) to the Earths rotation could slow it, so the Earth Engines had to be built to a specific angle. Those gigantic pillars of light were leaning to that angle. Now imagine what that meant for our palace, with its

43、pillars all leaning on the point of falling down! Many who came from the Southern Hemisphere went mad when suddenly seeing this awesome view.Worse than the view was the burning heat released by the Earth Engines. Outdoors the temperature was stuck at around 160 to 180 degrees, forcing us to wear spe

44、cial suits just to leave the house. The extremely high temperatures often brought pouring rains. It was always a terrifying scene when the beam of an Earth Engine cut through dark clouds. The clouds scattered the brilliant, bluish-white light of the beam, erupting it into endless rainbow light that

45、covered the entire sky like white-hot magma(巖漿).To my generation, born in the Northern Hemisphere, all of this was perfectly normal and natural, just like the Sun, stars and Moon had been to generations before the Reining Age. We called the entire history of the human race that had come before us th

46、e Pre-Solar Age; what a fascinating and golden era that had truly been!The Reining Age left the earth with a horrifying result. The sea tides, quickened by the Earth Engines, had swallowed two out of every three cities in the Northern Hemisphere; then the global increase in temperatures melted the p

47、olar icecap, resulting in floods that spread to the Southern Hemisphere. Thirty years earlier my grandfather had witnessed giant 300-foot waves that had engulfed Shanghai. Even now, he could never tell us about it without his gaze slipping into a thousand-mile stare.Our planet had already changed be

48、yond recognition before it even set out on its journey. Who knew what hardships were waiting for us on our long travels through outer space?1、What happened when the author was born?AThe earth had stopped turning for forty-two years.BThe sun was making its last fall towards the horizon.CAll the Earth

49、 Engines had not been finished.DHis family were suffering from the summer hotness.2、Which of the following about the Earth Engines is right?AThey were built in Asia and North America due to their huge number and weight.BTheir light and heat provided necessary energy for people to survive.CThey were

50、all built to point straight upward to the sky to stop the earth rotating.DTheir existence brought both opportunities and inconvenience to people on the earth.3、What can we infer from the last three paragraphs?APeople born in the Southern Hemisphere could enjoy four different seasons.BThe author miss

53、 growing global condemnation of elephant riding as a tourist activity, Yok Don National Park in southern Vietnam has ended the practice and replaced it with the first ethical (倫理的) elephant experience of its kind in the country.The formally captive group of four elephants were released from their ch

54、ains earlier this month and no longer carry tourists on rides through the park. Visitors can instead observe the animals roaming freely in their natural habitat.The park worked on the initiative with Animal Protection Asia, which campaigns for long-term changes in animal welfare and tourism in Vietn

55、am. The official agreement between the charity and the state-run park was signed on 13 July, and runs until April 2023, with the first tours taking place earlier this month. Over the next five years, it is hoped that the new model will provide as much or even more revenue for owners as riding, and e

56、ncourage mahouts (管象人) and elephant tourism companies to follow.This project has entirely changed the lives of the elephants at the park and it also provides a much better experience for the tourists. Misuse has been replaced with respect, and the animals look much healthier and happier than before.

57、Awareness of the adverse effects of elephant riding has increased in recent years, with a growing number of tourists avoiding cruel attractions and supporting welfare centres and animal protection instead, alongside an increasing number of tour operators refusing to sell elephant treks that include

58、riding.Many of the elephants used in riding and other activities, such as painting or performing tricks, are caught as babies from the wild, their mothers often killed. Once captured, they typically undergo intensive conditioning known as “crushing the spirit”, where they are kept in tiny pens and b

59、eaten and starved, sometimes for weeks. Once trained, many of the animals eventually die from exhaustion. Campaigners and charities hope to continue to educate the industry in Vietnam and around the world, and show how profitable ethical elephant experiences, with retired and rescued animals, can be

60、, instead.1、What is true for most working elephants in Vietnam?AThey are allowed to roam freely.BThey are chained up and cruelly treated.CThey outnumber those found in the wild.DThey are kept with their mothers during training.2、What is the goal of Animal Protection Asia?AIt seeks to raise money for
