2．After college I wanted to make a difference in the world，so I joined the Peace Corps and became a volunteer teacher in Namibia，my country of assignment（任務(wù)）.Honestly，my first choice wasn't Africa，but I am extremely grateful that I was sent there.
Various tribes and racial groups live in Namibia and a number of languages are spoken.When Namibia gained independence in 1990，English became the official language.Teachers were supposed to teach in English，but many lacked the language skills to do so.My job was to train the teachers.
Schools were quite bare.Some classrooms consisted merely of sticks stuck in the sand and a metal roof.Each student had only one threadbare uniform.The students had exhausting days.They walked miles to get to school，often barefoot.They also did many daily chores.Even with their mountains of work，few possessions and little opportunity，these children were joyful.I admired that.
This was my first time living abroad in a different culture.Simply adapting to the living conditions was a big adjustment.I had no electricity，running water，phone or Internet.Imagine no air conditioning where the temperature was often above 38 degrees Celsius!However，I could end each day with a splendid African sunset.And at night，I could have an incredible pollution-free view of the entire Milky Way（銀河）.
Before Namibia，I never thought a girl like me would adapt to such an environment.My experience awakened me to not only the limitations we place on ourselves，but also our amazing ability to adapt.
Step outside of your comfort zone and throw yourself in another culture.You won't regret it.
（1）What do we know about Namibia before 1990？

3．During a decline in tourism，one national park in Thailand has seen a dramatic rise in "visitors" recently.So many are the hermit crabs（寄居蟹）flooding into the otherwise empty beaches of Koh Lanta that shells （貝殼）for them to live in have become in short supply.
The Thai government moved quickly to ease the housing shortage，launching a public appeal for empty shells that netted over 200 kg.On December 5 these were distributed around the park in a ceremony.
Hermit crabs rely on shells to protect their soft bodies，moving to larger shells as they grow.On Koh Lanta and the surrounding smaller islands，their rapid increase seems to be a natural phenomenon，rather than directly related to the absence of tourists.But the shortage of shells may be man-made：pretty ones have long been gathered to be sold as goods.Crabs had begun to make do with potential death-traps such as plastic caps and bottles.
The shell drive was part of a government initiative to "regain the balance of nature". "I have instructed all national parks to do whatever it takes，" says Varawut Silpa-archa，the minister for natural resources.His inspiration comes from the pause in tourism brought on by COVID-19.A ban on international visitors and the closure of national parks have helped nature recover，bringing endangered leatherback turtles back onto Thai beaches.In the coastal provinces of Phang Nga and Phuket，turtles have laid the largest number of eggs for 20 years.
The government has decided to try to copy the short break forced on it by COVID-19 in future.From now on，all national parks will be required to close for a short period during the off-season and to limit the number of tourists through a reservation system when they are open.Although such restrictions mean reduced earnings from tourism in the short term，in the longer run more parks may help to keep the tourists coming.
（1）What happened to the beaches of Koh Lanta recently？
A．They got flooded by seawater.
B．They became completely empty.
C．They were packed with hermit crabs.
D．They saw a constant stream of tourists.
（2）What contributed to the housing shortage for hermit crabs？
A．Natural disasters.
B．Human activities.
C．Their preference for bottles.
D．The government's involvement.
（3）Why are turtles mentioned in paragraph 4？
A．To warn turtles are dying out.
B．To prove beaches are their ideal habitats.
C．To stress ecological diversity of Thailand.
D．To illustrate the birth of Varawut's inspiration.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？
A．Developing Economy or Protecting Animals？
B．Closing National Parks or Drawing More Visitors？
C．Governments are Responsible for the Balance of Nature
D．Authorities Help to Find Shelters for Homeless Hermit Crabs組卷：9引用：5難度：0.7

9．We three were running down the path，shouting and laughing when our dog Rubby suddenly stopped in the distance.He turned around，eyeing us，with his tail swinging up and down.
My little brother Toby immediately sped up and rushed to where Rubby was.He bent down，picked up something and ran back to us.
It was a bunch of keys.We gathered in a circle，examining the keys one by one，hoping to find some useful information about its owner.There were 3 keys，a house key，a mail key and a car key and a unique key fob（吊墜），very likely designed specially.
"Gosh，the owner might be in great trouble，" my sister sighed.She was right.We once lost our keys.Although we had an extra house key，it took our parents quite a long time to get a new mail key，let alone there was a car key.
Who might have lost them？
After many wild guesses，we finally drew a conclusion：It might belong to someone in our neighborhood as only our neighbors wandered into the woods for a walk.But it was still impossible to figure out who it was.We had a very big neighborhood.
"The owner might come back to look for them，" Toby reminded.So we decided to stay where we were，keeping a watchful eye on all passers-by.Our little dog ran in circles of excitement that we stayed so long in the wild.We remained in the woods for two hours，asking everyone we came across whether they lost their keys，but in vain.
It seemed we had to give up.But my sister wouldn't，saying that she just couldn't stop picturing the owner brushing aside tall grasses hoping to find the lost keys. " How anxious and upset the owner would be!"
I took a look at the bunch of keys again and quite by accident，found the key fob had the alarm button， "Look!If we press the alarm button，close enough of course，we can set off the owner's car alarm..."
"That's brilliant."
注意：1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
We rushed back to our neighborhood.___________
