One day, we were walking in our hometown and saw hundreds of cigarette butts on the ground. They made the town look so ugly

8、that we decided to start a group to make people dropping butts. We called it “No Butts About It”.At first, we drew pictures with “The Earth is not your ashtray（烟灰缸）”written on them. We put the pictures around our hometownin parks, by beaches, and along roads. We wanted to make people understand that

9、 dropping butts hurts the environment. Most smokers dont think that dropping butts hurts the Earth. But it does, and all rubbish does!Later, we wrote to companies and asked them for money to help us. We used the money to buy ashtrays to give to smokers. We wanted smokers to carry the ashtrays with t

10、hem so they didnt have to drop butts.At the moment, we are trying to get cigarette companies to put an ashtray in each pack of cigarettes. Some companies want to do it. Many people have started to join our group since it began. Today there are 45 other “No Butts About It” groups in America.Now there

11、 even groups in England, Australia, and India! Many newspapers have written about my sister and me over the last seven years. And we have won many prizes for what we do. But we are not interested in prizes. We just want to make the Earth a better and cleaner place for animals, plants and people.One

Cigarette Butts Also Destroy Other Countries.D. No Butts Prize.CIn September, something terrible happened on the west coast of Tasmania, Australia.

15、As many as 380 pilot whales became stranded(搁浅) in shallow water there and later died. This might have been Australias largest stranding event on record, the BBC reported.But this large amount of whale stranding is not uncommon. For centuries, it has happened all over the world and has puzzled scien

16、tists. Scientists say the cause is often unknown. But they have offered many different explanations.Some say the whales chase small fish for food and end up in shallow water because they are not paying attention to where they are going.Others think the stranding has something to do with Earths geoma

17、gnetic field (地磁场). They say that a geomagnetic compass in whales brains controls their position. Unusual changes in Earths magnetic field can affect the whales compasses and send them in the wrong direction. Another explanation suggests that stranding is caused by the close relationships that whale

18、s have. Pilot whales travel in large groups. One lead whale might mistakenly lead the whole group to shallow water. “And if one gets into trouble, the others will not leave,” said Sheryl Gibney, a leading biologist from New Zealand. “Some will come in and try to help, they get trapped on the beach,

19、then more will come.” The whales are trapped by mistake or out of sympathy(同情). Once they get stranded, they will likely die. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the US, less than 10 percent of all stranded whales survive.29 What do we know about the stranding in Aust

20、ralia?A. It happened on the east coast of Australia.B. It caused the death of over 300 pilot whales.C. It is commonly seen in September each year.D. It was the largest stranding event in the world.30. According to Gibney, the pilot whales are the animals that_.A. are kind to each otherB. are easy to

21、 lose directionC. are too huge to float in the seaD. are silly to follow the leading whale31. What is the story mainly about?A. How human activity has affected whales.B. What might cause whale strandings.C. How whales find their direction while traveling.D. What scientists are doing to save stranded

22、 whales.DUK physicist Isaac Newton once said, Nature is pleased with simplicity and nature is no dummy (傻子). Indeed, Mother Nature can provide almost everything human beings need if we follow her rules. But if we break the rules, she is likely to be cruel and lash out at us.The outbreak of the novel

23、 coronavirus pneumonia (新型冠状病毒肺炎, NCP) in China and some other countries at the beginning of this year is an example. According to Xinhua News Agency, the new coronavirus is similar to a virus found in a bat in 2017 and probably has an intermediate host (中间宿主). Its believed that the virus originated

24、 from the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, Hubei province, where live wild animals were sold.The Wall Street Journal reported that Dr Peter Daszak, president of the US-based health organization EcoHealth Alliance, said, This outbreak is a lesson for us. On a global scale, human population density, wi

25、ldlife diversity, and land use change are what drive new pandemics (流行病). In ancient times, people needed to rely on nature to survive so they held it in awe (敬畏). For example, the American Indians believed that humans are a part of nature and nature is a part of humans. Chinese ancients always purs

26、ued the harmony between nature and human beings.However, as human beings master more knowledge and make more advanced tools, people try to change and even conquer nature. They use more land to make buildings, genetically modify (改变) plants, capture some wild and rare animals to suit their own needs.

27、 In this process, humans gradually lose contact with nature and even throw it out of balance. For example, cutting a large number of forests means carbon dioxide must build up in the atmosphere and it contributes to global warming.Although we dont know for sure what first caused the NCP outbreak, Br

28、ian Lamacraft at Medium said its time for people to reflect on our relationship with our planet and reconnect with this world and everything that weve been given. After all, according to US poet Gary Snyder, Nature is not the place to visit. Its our home. 32 What does the phrase lash out at in Parag

29、raph 1 probably mean?A. punishB. controlC. testD. challenge33. What lesson did Daszak think human beings should learn from the NCP outbreak?A. Bats are one of the most dangerous wild animals.B. Its impossible to prevent new pandemics globally.C. We should stop the wildlife trade around the world.D.

30、Humans should live peacefully with nature.34 What is the main idea of Paragraph 5?A. How human beings become their own masters.B. How human activities cause global warming.C. How human beings break the balance of nature.D. How humans use technology to improve their lives.35. What is the authors purp

31、ose in writing this article?A. To reflect on the NCP outbreak.B. To explain what led to the NCP outbreak.C. To describe experts predictions on new pandemics.D. To compare ancient and modern attitudes toward nature.北京市海淀区2020-2021学年高一下学期期中考试英语试题第一节 阅读选择(共12小题;每题2分，共24分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选

43、rs.” These partnerships support electronic reusing programs in individual communities. They provide local governments, retailers and manufacturers with opportunities to reuse and recycle their items. Those who make and offer electronic devices then promote programs and opportunities for consumers to

44、 reuse their second-hand electronic products. One of the EPAs goals is to enlighten customers about why the recycling of electronics is so important. They likewise wish to make eCycling chances easily accessible to specific consumers and their family electronics. According to the EPA, the eCycling p

45、rogram has actually been quite successful. In 2008, the EPA collected 66.5 million pounds of electronic devices through their Plug-In Partners.Local governments have actually likewise got on board and passed laws intended to handle used electronic devices.

46、eCycling programs at their local retail stores. One seller offers customers small, medium and big boxes for sale, which the customers then load with used electronics and go back to the store.
