1．Considering that Sundarbans National Park is situated in the tropics，September to March is the ideal time to come here．April，May and June are too hot while July and August often bring heavy season winds that limit travel and don't make for a very pleasant sightseeing experience．You can really enjoy doing lots of charming things in the Sundarbans during September to March．
Take a river tour
Most tourists who explore the Sundarbans arrive in Khulna City first．From there，you can join a boat tour that travels south along the Ganges River through miles of preserved forest all the way to Kotka，where there is a beautiful beach along the Bay of Bengal．
Visit a bird habitat
This bird habitat is a nesting place for dozens of tropical birds found in the Sundarbans．The best way to observe these birds is climbing up the Sajnekhali Watchtower．If you're lucky，you'll also catch the famed Bengal Tiger making its rounds through the swampy jungle．
Visit the Mangrove（紅樹(shù)林）Interpretation Centre
If you wish to spend some time indoors out of the sweaty heat，go to the Mangrove Interpretation Centre．This place is very educational with many posters，maps and exhibits showing the wildlife and varieties of mangrove plants found within the park．You'll also get to see crocodiles in a small pool．
Take a tour of local villages
Experience village life that has largely remained unchanged for centuries．In this vast tropical region，there are villages made up of various ethnic groups who rely on fishing，farming and working in the local through growing tourist industry for their livelihoods．The Sundarbans is a UNESCO world heritage site where you can visit villages and talk to locals，who will gladly share their culture with you．

2．Ms Yuting Zhou is an early-career environmental advisor working on industrial wastewater pollution management，In her work，she's learning about an important type of environmental pollution，and finding ways to help companies manage water resources better.
When we asked Yuting how old she was when she got interested in environmental problems，we were surprised by her response. "I must have been about six years old.I used to watch an American TV series about an environmentalist Superhero named Captain Planet."
There is one serious pollution event somewhere in the world.The concern about environmental issues deeply influenced Yuting.But how does one prepare to be a "Superwoman"？For Yuting，it came down to a reflection on what she might be good at — in her case，the Science，Technology，Engineering，and Mathematics （STEM） subjects-and making considered choices in her education.
She began to study environmental engineering，and found a passion for the subject. "During my graduate studies." I researched different kinds of health effects.
While she developed valuable skills that would help her in her career，she also learnt more about herself and her role in the world. "I learnt that science requires a scientific proof through repeated and sometimes long processes.Although I completed and published my research in a top academic journal，I realized that I'm not fit for laboratory work.I needed more interaction with people，and to solve real-life problems."
Within three days of graduating，Yuting was on a plane heading to Kenya.She was excited about working for the United Nations because there were people from various industries and backgrounds gathering to improve the environment and create a more sustainable （可持續(xù)的） future — a lot like the setting of Caprain Planet which brought light to her in the first place.
（1）What first exposed Yuting to environmental problems？
A．An American TV series.
B．A famous environmental expert.
C．A famous and popular hero.
D．A serious pollution event.
（2）What did Yuting consider when she faced the environmental issues？
A．How she could make use of her talent.
B．What organization she should join.
C．How she could become a superwoman.
D．What she would focus on studying.
（3）What did Yuting think really help her to deal with environmental problems？
A．Publishing lots of papers about them.
B．Conducting many researches on them.
C．Carrying on many a related experiment.
D．Reaching out to as many people as possible.
（4）What did Yuting benefit from working in the UN？

3．Several years ago，Jason Box，a scientist from Ohio，flew 31 giant rolls of white plastic to a glacier （冰川）in Greenland.He and his team spread them across 10，000 feet of ice，and then left.His idea was that the white blanket would reflect back the rays of the sun，keeping the ice cool below.When he came back to check the results，he found it worked.Exposed ice had melted faster than covered ice.He had not only saved two feet of glacier In a short time.No coal plants were shut down，no jobs were lost，and nobody was taxed or fired.Just the sort of fix we're looking for.
"Thank you，but no thank you." says Ralph King，a climate scientist.He told Grey Childs，author and commentator，that people think technology can save the planet， "but there are other things we need to deal with，like consumption.They burned 550，000 just for the helicopter to bring the plastic to the glacier."This experiment gives people false hope that climate change can be fixed without changing human behavior.It can't.Technology won't give us a tree ride.
Individuals respond to climate change differently.Climatologist Kelly Smith is hardly alone in her prediction that someday soon we won't be climate victims；we will be climate choosers.More scientists agree with her that if the human race survives，the engineers will get smarter.jye.ai tools will get better and one day we will control the climate.But what then？ "Just the mention of us controlling the climate sent a small shiver down my back"，Grey Childs writes， "Something sounds wrong about it."
Me？I like it better when the earth takes care of itself.I guess one day we will have to run the place，but for the moment；sitting at my desk，looking out at the trees bending wildly and the wind howling.I'm happy not to be in charge.
（1）What does Ralph King think of Jason Box's experiment？
A．It's a possible solution to climate change.
B．It's a misleading attempt to fix the climate.
C．It's a successful experiment on saving the glacier.
D．It arouses people's attention to the problem of global warming.
（2）Which statement would Kelly Smith most probably agree with？
A．The fight against climate change will not succeed.
B．Humans will succeed in controlling climate in the future.
C．Technology is not the final solution，let alone its high cost.
D．Jason's experiment plays a significant role in fixing climate change.
（3）What is Grey Childs's attitude to human's controlling the climate？
A．Favorable.
B．Tolerant.
C．Sceptical.
D．Unclear.
（4）Which of the following is a suitable title for the text？
A．Should we fix the climate with technology？
B．Is climate change a threatening problem？
C．Why is the earth climate getting worse？
D．What if all the glaciers disappeared？組卷：9引用：3難度：0.5

9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開(kāi)頭語(yǔ)續(xù)寫(xiě)兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
For my fifth-grade science fair project，I got six chicken eggs in an incubator（孵化器）.
"But I don't know anything about hatching an egg."
Mrs.Brubeck smiled. "You don't have to be an immediate expert at everything，Juli.The idea here is to learn something new."
"But what if they die？"
"Then they die.Document your work scientifically and you'll still get an A." She pulled The Beginner's Guide to Raising Chickens from her bookshelf and said，"Read the book and set yourself up tonight."
That night I came home，more worried than ever.I'd read the book.I had to turn the eggs three times a day and regulate the temperature and humidity（濕度）.But aside from that，what was there to do？
My father came with a cardboard tube and a flashlight.He taped the two together so that the light beam was forced straight out the tube. "I will show you how to candle the eggs，" he said，then switched off the light and held an egg up to the cardboard tube. "The light lets you see through the shell so you can watch the embryo（胚胎） develop.Look，see the dark spot here？"
"Is that an embryo？" "That's it!"
Suddenly it felt real.The eggs were alive!Surely they had to live!
For the next three weeks，I was completely consumed with the growing of chicks.I labeled the eggs A，B，C，D，E and F，but before long they had names，too：Abby，Bonnie，Clyde，Dexter，Eunice and Florence.Every day I weighed them，candled them，turned them.I drew diagrams of various stages of an embryo's development.I documented the daily changes and weight loss of each egg.On the outside the eggs were boring，but I knew what was happening inside!
注意：
1.寫(xiě)作詞數(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。
Then one morning I was candling Bonnie when I noticed a gentle peck （啄）.
The day came when I was supposed to hand in my science fair project.組卷：19引用：4難度：0.4
