「2025 江苏淮安中考」
If you search for places of beauty, wetlands probably won’t be high on your list. Wetlands are areas of land that are often completely wet with water. Although they might not look very pretty, the roles that they play in nature might go beyond many people’s imagination.
Wetlands appear naturally in almost every part of the world. There are many different types of wetlands on Earth. Along with rainforests, they are among the most diverse（多样的）places on Earth. Besides natural wetlands, humans are also creating man-made ones for a number of purposes about water management.
One of the main advantages of wetlands is that they can prevent floods. They do so by storing water for a certain time and then slowly releasing（释放）it over time. Wetlands operate similarly to a sponge（海绵）. When it rains heavily and water levels rise, they take in the extra water which may cause floods. This prevents water from entering rivers and streams. Then, when water levels become low later, they will release it. In many cases, wetlands offer a much more natural way than dams（坝）. However, it’s important to note that wetlands, like dams, don’t stop all dangers from flooding. Once there is a very heavy rainfall, wetlands may fill up and any extra water will start to run off.
Wetlands also play a part in cleaning water. Farming actions and city waste are main causes of water pollution. Wetlands include plants and organisms that can reduce this pollution by clearing out unwanted things. Wetlands have other advantages for the environment as well. They can help to feed nearby fish populations by releasing something that can be used as food for them into rivers. Also, many animals like frogs use wetlands as baby-raising grounds because they provide the place for catching food and the water required. Some birds also come to the wetlands for food and shelter. Although wetlands may not look pretty, it’s clear that they are able to do the important work which is necessary to make sure that the circle of life remains unbroken.
16.Why does the writer mention “sponge” in Paragraph 3?
A.To explain the flood-preventing work of wetlands.
B.To describe the sponge’s feature of storing water.
C.To show the wetlands can take in water quickly like a sponge.
D.To compare the similar points between wetlands and a sponge.
17.What can we learn about wetlands from the passage?
A.People create man-made wetlands to deal with water.
B.People praise wetlands for natural beauty.
C.Wetlands can solve the pollution problems.
D.Wetlands can completely prevent the dangers caused by floods.
18.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A.Wetlands—Circle of Life
B.Wetlands—Home of Living Things
C.Wetlands—Friend of Earth
D.Wetlands—Cleaner of Environment

IV.[语篇解读] 本文主要介绍了湿地的重要作用,以及对维系生命循环的重要意义。

17.A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Besides natural wetlands, humans are also creating man-made ones for a number of purposes about water management.”可知,除了天然湿地,人类还出于多种水资源管理的目的建造人工湿地。故选A。
