climate change a keydriver of reef disturbance,a new study has found.Researchers from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies,inQueensland,northeasternAustralia,studied coral communities and theirsize along the length of theGreat Barrier Reefbetween 1995 and 2017,findingall coral populations disappear gradually,they said.Reefs are important to the health of ocean ecosystems without them,ecosystems break down and oceanlife dies.Coral population decreases happened in both shallow and deep water coral species,experts found,but branchingand table-shaped corals which provide habitats for fish were worst affected by mass bleaching(漂白)eventsin 2016.Warm ocean temperatures are the main reason of coral bleaching.Bleaching doesnt kill coral immediately,but if temperatures remain high,eventually the coral will die,destroying a natural habitat for many species ofocean life.“We used to think the Great Barrier Reef is protected by its huge size but in fact our results show that even theworlds largest and ly well-protected reef system is increasingly destroyed and in decline,”Terry Hughes,anoutstanding professor at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies,said.“There is no time to lose we must sharply decrease greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible,”thereporter warned in the paper,published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society journal.8.What has mainly influenced the coral populations of theGreat Barrier Reef?A.Destroyed habitats.B.Climate change.C.Lack of seafood.D.Bleaching events.9.What can we learn from the

corals.10.What attitude does the reporter hold to the present situation of theGreat Barrier Reef?A.Worried.B.Angry.C.Hopeful.D.Surprised.11.What is probably the best title for the passage?A.Climate change damages theGreat Barrier ReefB.The Species of ocean Life Are In DangerC.Greenhouse Gas Emissions Get WorseD.Sea Ecosystems Are In DeclineDThe idea of growing food in a desert would make most people laugh but this is quickly becoming a reality.There are currently two desert farms in the world where quality vegetables are being planted cheaply and easily.Sundrop Farms,based in South Australia,uses experimental greenhouses to grow tomatoes,peppers andcucumbers.The biggest challenge of growing food in a desert,obviously,is the lack of available water.Theresearchers at Sundrop Farms have gotten aroundthis problemby using the sun to desalinate(淡化)sea water.Itcan also be used to control the temperature of the greenhouses.Without depending on limited resources such as land and fresh water Sundrop Farms has made farming apractice.This can increase the worlds food supplies.Another benefit ofthis kind of farming is that it can be doneanywhere,thus reducing the costs of transporting food to distant locations.Yet another benefit is that it reducesthe need for pesticides(杀虫剂).Another experimental desert farm is the Sahara Forest Project,which began in Qatar in December 2012.Greenhouses in the farm are cooled by saltwater.Solar power and other technologies are used together to helpmake vegetation(植被)grow in the desert environment.As deserts have expanded over recent years around theworld due to global warming,this project could solve the problem.The result form the Qatar project were better than expected and in June of 2014,Jordan agreed to hostanother one.This will be much bigger than the Qatar project and the project members will have even moreopportunities to test their experiments on a much larger scale.It is not clear yet that desert farming resents thefuture of farming but these projects have shown some success in the field.12.What does“this problem”in paragraph 2 refer to?A.Sea water is bard to purify.B.The desert is short of water.C.The temperature is high in the desert.D.Desert farms arent fit to plant vegetables.13.What is one of the characters of desert farming?A.It needs more pesticides.B.It saves delivery costs.C.It has a location limit.D.It solves food waste problems14.What can we know about the Sabara Forest Project?A.It lives up to expectationsB.It can help produce more foodC.It is started to prevent global warmingD.It uses technology to produce saltwater15.What can be inferred about desert farming from the last paragraph?A.It still has problems to solve.B.It represents the future of farming.C.Its early success has aroused interest in it.D.Its aim is to create more job opportunities.第二节（共第二节（共 5 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2 2 分，满分分，满分 1 10 0 分）分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项Give yourself a test.Which way is the wind blowing?How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from yourfront door?If your awareness is as sharp as it could be,youll have no trouble answering these questions.Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults.A childs day is filled with fascination,newness and wonder._16_But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear;we are numbto new stimulation(刺激),new ideas.Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple,although ittakes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before itoccurs._17_One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students,I mentionedthat we were going to cross a mountain stream.The students began complaining about how cold it would be.Wereached the stream,and they unwillingly walked ahead.They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was ahot spring.Later they all admitted theyd felt cold water at first._18_I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird,immediately looked it up in field guides,and said,aruby-crowned kinglet and checked it off.They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it wasdoing.The pressures of time and destination are further blocks to awareness.I encountered many hikers whowere headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark._19_They nevertake a moment to see whats around them.I asked them what theyd seen.Oh,a few birds,they said.Theyseemed bent on their destinations._20_Next time you take a walk,no matter where it is,take in all the sights,sounds and sensations.Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.A.This blocks awareness.B.They dont know what awareness is.C.Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness.D.It seldom occurred to them towander a little bit.E.Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait.F.Being sharp doesnt mean we have to stay alert all the time,though.G.Another block to awareness is the obsession many of us have with naming things.第二部分第二部分语言运用（共两节，满分语言运用（共两节，满分4545 分）分）第一节（共第一节（共 2020 小题；每小题小题；每小题 1.51.5 分，满分分，满分
