三、信息还原 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
According to a new study, the Amazon Rainforest may become grassland in a few years.
The Amazon is the world's biggest rainforest. Climate change and human activities make it "sick".
Usually, the rainforest can fix itself. 1. The trees may die and the rainforest could turn into a hot, dry
grassland.
2?
The Amazon is one of the world's wettest places. But since 2005, three droughts have hit the
rainforest. They were caused by climate change. The trees don't have enough water to grow. What's
worse, as they become dry, 3.
On top of this, people cut down rainforest trees for wood. They burn the forest to make farmland.
They clear trees to find minerals. 4.
What will happen if we lose it?
The Amazon is like the lungs of our planet. The rich plants there take carbon dioxide out of the air and make oxygen. They make more than 20 percent of the planet's oxygen. If the Amazon
"dies", there will be more $CO_{2}$ and our Earth will become even hotter. 5. Many of them can't live
anywhere else. They would most probably just disappear.
Let's do something to protect the Amazon rainforest!
A. they can easily catch fire
B. The Amazon is also home to over 3 million animals and plants
C. Why is the Amazon "sick"
D. Why is the Amazon important
E. But now, it feels too "tired" to get better
F. All these activities have caused about 17 percent of the rainforest to disappear
G. they cause fewer forest fires every year
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

【分析】
首先通读全文，明确文章核心是介绍亚马逊雨林因气候变化和人类活动面临变为草原的危机，并阐述其重要性。然后逐个分析空白处的逻辑关系：
1. 空1前句说雨林通常能自我修复，后句描述雨林恶化的结果，需转折过渡，找体现转折的选项；
2. 空2后段落是解释雨林“生病”的原因，且空后是问号，应是提出对应问题的设问句；
3. 空3前提到树木变干，需选干燥带来的合理后果；
4. 空4前列举了人类破坏雨林的多种活动，需选总结这些活动影响的选项；
5. 空5后提到很多生物无法在别处生存，需选引出这些生物的选项。
【解析】
1. 空1：前文指出“Usually, the rainforest can fix itself.”（通常雨林能自我修复），后文描述雨林恶化的结果，E选项“But now, it feels too 'tired' to get better”（但现在，它太累了无法恢复）通过转折衔接前后内容，逻辑连贯，故选E。
2. 空2：下文详细说明了亚马逊雨林变“生病”的原因，且空后为问号，C选项“Why is the Amazon 'sick'”（为什么亚马逊“生病了”）是引出原因的设问句，符合语境，故选C。
3. 空3：前文提到“as they become dry”（随着树木变得干燥），干燥的树木易引发火灾，A选项“they can easily catch fire”（它们很容易着火）是干燥带来的合理后果，逻辑通顺，故选A。
4. 空4：前文列举了人类砍树、烧林、清树找矿物等破坏活动，F选项“All these activities have caused about 17 percent of the rainforest to disappear”（所有这些活动导致约17%的雨林消失）总结了这些活动的影响，承接自然，故选F。
5. 空5：后文提到“Many of them can't live anywhere else. They would most probably just disappear.”（它们中的许多无法在其他地方生存，很可能会消失），这里的“them”指代动植物，B选项“The Amazon is also home to over 3 million animals and plants”（亚马逊也是超过300万种动植物的家园）引出后文的“them”，衔接恰当，故选B。

四、阅读表达 阅读下面短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题，答超过9个单词。
Over 400 years ago in China, there was a cool traveler. He spent 30 years traveling

many books and he enjoyed reading about the mountains and rivers of China. He
decided to see them when he grew up.

and get to know the world. Xu began his trip when he was about 20 years old. Before he left, his mother
made him a traveling hat to encourage him to travel.
Xu traveled to 21 provinces and over 100 cities in China. He climbed thousands of mountains and
visited over 350 caves. He was the first person to find the highest hill of Mount Huangshan. He was also
the first to find lots of karst caves. What's more, he found the Yangtze River's headwater.
Xu traveled mostly on foot. He slept and ate in nature. Sometimes he fell into rivers or ran into dangerous
animals. But Xu was brave and enjoyed his trip.
