三、阅读理解(共 15 小题;每小题 2 分,计 30 分)
阅读下列内容,从每小题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。
A
Wetlands are any land that is flooded with shallow water all or most of the time.
They are a natural water holding system.
There are many types of wetlands. Among them, bogs, marshes and swamps are the
three main types. The different types of wetlands have different kinds of plants.
Only mosses(苔藓)and a few other kinds of plants can grow in bogs. Grassy plants
like cattails(香蒲)and reeds(芦苇)are the most common plants in a marsh. A swamp
is a forest whose ground is underwater all or most of the time. Unlike bogs or marshes,
a swamp is full of trees and bushes. It’s not a good idea to go exploring a swamp
without a guide. There are hidden pools of water, thick mud, and sometimes big
crocodiles(鳄鱼)looking for their next meal.
Hungry crocodiles aren’t the only animals that make the wetlands their home.
Otters, turtles, frogs, snakes and many other animals do too. The water is home to
many kinds of fish and crabs. Birds, including ducks, geese and cranes, use wetlands
seasonally during their long migrations.
Wetlands are important because they provide habitats for plants and animals.
A wetland system can also protect shorelines, make polluted waters clean, prevent
floods, and restore underground water supplies.
According to WWF, more than half of the world’s wetlands have disappeared since
the beginning of the 20th century. If this continues, countless plant and animal
species will surely die out. Without wetlands, cities have to spend more money
treating water. Don’t feel helpless. Try to do your part to protect them right now.
Here are some ideas.
31. According to Paragraph 2, what can you see in a swamp?
A. Mosses.
B. Cattails.
C. Reeds.
D. Trees.
32. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Wetlands are a man-made water holding system.
B. There are three types of wetlands in the world.
C. People can not meet with big crocodiles in wetlands.
D. Wetlands can protect shorelines and prevent floods.
33. What is the writer probably going to talk about after Paragraph 5?
A. What are the different types of wetlands?
B. What will happen if wetlands disappear?
C. What actions can people take to protect wetlands?
D. What other kinds of plants and animals live in wetlands?

Every month, Julia and her cousins would go for the big family meal at their
grandparents’ house. On each visit, their grandpa would give them a few coins. Then
all the children would run off to buy sweets. One day, he gathered the children
together. He said, “Let’s have a competition to see who can manage money wisely.

My five-year-old son befriends the woman. It starts with voices in the yard.
When I come out to check on Daniel, his face is pressed on the fence(篱笆).
The woman says, “You wait right here; I’ll be right back. ”
She returns with a saw(锯子). There’s a whirring. A circle in the wooden fence
drops out of sight.
“Dad! Sandy just drilled out a hole in the fence so Sandy and I can talk! ”
Daniel spins around.
I hadn’t known her name was Sandy. We’ve lived here a month before Daniel was
born.
Daniel’s and Sandy’s murmuring voices continue. Whenever Daniel is outside,
he circles near the fence that isn’t a fence any more. Some days my son just goes
to stand at the hole, yelling, “Sandy! Saaaaandyyyyy!” Sometimes I hear bits of
their talk.
“We painted a ghost at school.”
Or: “Wheeler and Jackson were playing football, and they told me I couldn’t
play.”
“That wasn’t very nice, ” says Sandy. “Did that hurt your feelings? Did you
let them know that?”
I can’t hear how he replies. A moment of envy runs through me. He never talks
about his school things with me.
Daniel and Sandy not only keep chatting through the hole, they also exchange
gifts. A coloring book, then a Hot Wheels car. It’s unclear what Daniel gives Sandy
in return.
One afternoon, I hear Sandy’s voice floating over the top of the fence with
the hole. “I thought maybe Daniel could come for a play date.”
We ring the bell on Sandy’s porch. She’s a middle-aged woman with smiling eyes.
Sandy’s yard is sweet with the smell of flowers. We have a pleasant afternoon with
Sandy, my son’s adult friend, the first friend Daniel has made on his own.
A month later, Sandy leaves to care for her mother in Kansas. She left behind
a box of presents: a coloring book, sidewalk chalk, the missing orange part in the
Hot Wheels track. When I look at Daniel, he’s looking down at his shoes.
He sometimes wanders down to the fence. Instead of calling “Sandy!
Saaaaandyyyyy!” he cries. “Hello! Helloooooo!”
One day, Daniel receives Sandy’s postcard. They write frequently, warmly.
38. Which of the following is the correct order of the story?
a. Sandy leaves for Kansas to care for her mother.
b. Daniel and Sandy exchange gifts through the hole.
c. Daniel and Sandy are good pen friends.
d. Sandy drills out a hole in the fence.
e. Sandy invites Daniel to come to her yard for a play date.
A. dbeac
B. badec
C. dceab
D. ecadb
39. Which sentence should go in the empty box in Paragraph 4 from the bottom?
A. The neighbourhood I grew up in has a fence like this.
B. We’ve passed through the hole in the fence.
C. Beyond that fence stands Sandy’s blue house.
D. I’m a person who looks on the bad side of the fence.
40. What can we know about Daniel from the underlined sentences in the story?
A. He doesn’t care about Sandy’s leaving.
B. He is impressed with the shoes
from Sandy.
C. He is heartbroken when hearing the news.
D. He does not want to be Sandy’s
friend any more.
41. Which sentence best expresses the theme of the story?

B. Trust and friendship can go
beyond ages.
C. A good fence makes a good neighbour.
D. Grass is greener on the other
side of the fence.
