Graffiti drawings on tree holes along local streets in Shanghai have become a trendy sight, adding artistic charm
and warmth to the cityscape, especially in the colder months. Animals like kangaroos, birds, peacocks, penguins
along with other natural inhabitants have been painted on the trees with holes along Sichuan Road N. and North Bund
in Hongkou District.
Tree holes happen when a tree gets hurt and the soft wood inside is shown. Caretakers usually seal these holes
with materials like cement (水泥) during winter to protect trees from fungi and bacteria. However, these grey, scar-
like fillings don’t go well with the city environment and aren’t visually pleasing.
To address this, the landscaping team in Hongkou District invited professional painters and graffiti artists to
decorate the tree holes with innovative paintings in a pilot project. They first cleaned out the holes, applied safe
materials to create smooth and water-resistant surfaces, and then used environmentally-friendly colors to paint
them.
Now, the tree holes look like homes for small animals, attracting curious looks from passers-by. These paintings
not only create a sense of connection between people and nature, but also help to repair and cover the holes, preventing
water loss and maintaining tree health. Each of the painted tree holes is expected to last for at least two years.
The practice has drawn praise from residents and will therefore be promoted in more streets and parks in
Hongkou, officials said. Zhou Jing, a resident living near Sichuan Road N., says that the tree-hole paintings not only
add beauty to the commercial street, but also serve as a gentle reminder for people to cherish and safeguard the
trees.
19．What is the main purpose of graffiti drawings on tree holes in Shanghai?
A．To warn people of tree damage. B．To protect the trees from the cold.
C．To cover the holes in a creative way. D．To attract more tourists to the streets.
20．How does the tree-hole painting project impact on the community?
A．It adds to urban wildlife diversity. B．It starts discussions about public art.
C．It benefits local shops and businesses. D．It promotes tree care and love for nature.
21．Where is the text probably from?
A．A travel brochure. B．A local newspaper. C．A biology textbook. D．A fashion magazine.
C
Like many things in life, the best results are achieved by working together. This is especially true with plants!
The latest research on “companion planting” stresses the importance of viewing our gardens as ecosystems
where plants interact with each other to create a healthy, bio-diverse place. Plants actively affect each other throughvarious ways like fungal connections, chemical messaging and resource sharing, which helps attract helpful insects,
improve nutrient availability and absorption.
When we plant one type of plant in an area, like tomatoes, we create a“monoculture”, which often leads to more
pesticides and chemical fertilizers (肥料). However, when we put different plants to grow together, we create
a“polyculture,” which leads to biodiversity. It means a more stable environment for vegetables and other plants to
grow well by augmenting nutrient cycling, water conservation, pest control and carbon storage.
What is modern research-based companion planting? Scientists like to call it inter-planting to make a polyculture
for garden benefits. Using science helps us know why and how certain plant combinations work well.
Jessica Walliser, author of Plant Partners: Science-Based Companion Planting Strategies for the Vegetable
Garden, provides plant pairs that reduce pests, prevent diseases and enrich soil quality.
Using science as your guide and gardening with companion plants will help you learn about your own unique
corner of the world. Have fun as you try out plant combinations and create a diverse living space outside your door.
You’ll look at your garden in a whole new way as you observe the changes in color and texture while enjoying the
overall well-being of your garden.
22．What does companion planting refer to according to the latest research?
A．Creating colorful gardens. B．Growing more local plants.
C．Mixing various interactive plants. D．Using chemicals to aid plant growth.
23．What negative effect can monoculture have on gardens?
A．Reduced living space. B．Polluted water quality.
C．Increased pests and diseases. D．Enhanced reliance on sunlight.
24．What does the underlined word “augmenting” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Promoting. B．Declining. C．Examining. D．Overcoming.
25．What does Jessica Walliser’s book focus on?
A．Tips for soil improvement. B．Ways to plant pairing types.
C．Methods for garden designs. D．Approaches to using pesticides.

Five Ways to Practice Ecotourism
Ecotourism, at its heart, is about travelling mindfully, seeking a balance between exploration and conservation.
Ready to give it a try? Your next adventure will be truly eco-friendly.
Think local and spend local. Spend that vacation money on locally-owned businesses. 26 You will
also get opportunities to make personal connections with the local people.
27 Waste is a global problem, not just a local one. Though it can be challenging to remember, try to
bring a water bottle, a coffee cup and a shopping bag. It’s a small effort that makes a big difference in the global fight
against waste.
Find local and sustainable accommodations. Choose accommodations that are owned and operated by
locals. 28 This supports both local economy and eco-friendly practices.
Visit and contribute to local organizations. Look for activities run by organizations that focus on eco-friendly
methods. Then, see how you can participate—booking a tour is a great option! For example:·Walk at a conservation center to see animals, plants and birds.
·Visit national parks—they contribute to conservation efforts.
· 29
Book directly. It’s convenient to book travel arrangements through travel sites. 30 Therefore, book
directly with the local company when possible.
When in doubt, follow these three ecotourism rules: conservation, communities and education. If your travel
plans check these boxes, congrats! Your adventure as an ecotourist awaits.
A．Bring your reusables.
B．Respect natural habitats.
C．This will benefit the local economy.
D．But it might also mean locals can’t make as much money.
E．Take a surfing class that supports beach clean-up projects.
F．Ridesharing is a sustainable travel option whenever possible.
G．Take it a step further by looking for hotels that care for the environment.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“I just want a normal birthday party,” Amy told Bailey as they walked home from school. Amy’s parents lovedthe environment, and Amy happened to be born on Earth Day, so all her parties had an Earth Day theme.
Amy couldn’t forget the “Throw-Out Blowout” when she turned seven. Her friends coming to the party helped
out at her yard sale and donated the money to charity. And when she turned eight, it was a “Tree Spree”, planting
maples. Last year, “The Print Sprint”! They collected newspapers to recycle.
So Amy firmly decided to plan her own party this year. One day, as Amy loaded the dishwasher, she cleared her
throat. “I’ d like to go to Maze Craze (疯狂迷宫) instead.” “Really?” said Dad, surprised. “I guess we could try that,”
said Mom. With her parents’ approval, Amy couldn’t wait for her birthday and invited lots of her close friends. They
expected that they would have so much fun and wouldn’t have to think one bit about the Earth.
The following weekend was right Amy’s birthday. Amy and other friends all gathered in the parking lot outside
Maze Craze. Amy appreciated their coming and excitedly shouted out “No more shovels (铲子)! No collecting
recyclables! Nothing earthy about it!”
注意：
（1）词数应为120个左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
But when they took steps forward, plastic bottles rolled across the ground.
Arriving home, Amy couldn’t wait to share the day with her parents.

Hi David!
I was sorry to hear about your setbacks in submitting to the school newspaper. I do understand your frustration, for
it’s natural to feel that way when things don’t go as planned.
But don’t let these rejections bring you down, because every great writer has encountered them. J. K. Rowling’s
Harry Potter was rejected numerous times before it became a worldwide success. You have excellent writing talent,
so just see these failures as opportunities to learn and grow. Keep writing, and believe yourself! I’m confident that
with your determination and hard work, you’ll soon see your name in print.
Love
Li Hua

But when they took steps forward, plastic bottles rolled across the ground. The sight was a total mess with
wrappers and cans littering the area. Amy’s eyes widened in surprise and her initial excitement faded, replaced by
disappointment. She thought, “We can’t ignore this.” She bent down and started picking up the bottles, Bailey and
other friends following her. With determination on their faces, they quickly gathered the trash. Once done, they headed
to Maze Craze, where they still had a lot of fun with a new view.
Arriving home, Amy couldn’t wait to share the day with her parents. They were waiting to say happy birthday
to her. She told them about the unexpected bottles and how they cleaned them up. “I thought I could have a normal
birthday party without thinking about the environment, but it still taught me a valuable lesson,” she paused, “We
should always be aware of our impact on the Earth, even in the smallest ways, for every action counts.” Hearing this,
her parents smiled, proud of her growth.
