Getting to Know the Plants Around Us
参考范文
Getting to Know the Plants Around Us
Last weekend our school organized an activity “Getting to Know the Plants Around Us”
designed to raise the awareness of protecting the plants.
As a result of our limited knowledge about plants，the activity began with a lecture by a local
botanist at 8 am，who taught us about the different characteristics of various plant species.Then at
9 we were delighted to take a walk outdoors to observe and collect samples of different
plants.Through the activity，all the students agreed that we can’t stress the crucial role plants
play in maintaining the balance of our ecosystem enough.We benefited a lot from the activity，
which made us aware of the importance of living in harmony with nature.
Overall，it was a valuable and enriching experience.I hope that such activities can be held
again in the near future.

(2021·新课标Ⅰ，C)
When the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North America，the skies and lands
were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife.Native Americans had taken care of these
precious natural resources wisely.Unfortunately ， it took the explorers and the settlers who
followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources.Millions of waterfowl(水
禽 ) were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious
sportsmen.Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing
populations，greatly reducing waterfowl habitat(栖息地)．
In 1934，with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act(Act)，an increasingly
concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory(迁徙的) waterfowl and the
wetlands so vital to their survival.Under this Act，all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over
must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp.The very first Federal Duck Stamp was
designed by J．N.“Ding” Darling，a political cartoonist from Des Moines，Lowa，who at
that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological
Survey.Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources.
About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation
Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge
System—a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to
come.Since 1934，better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5
million acres of habitat.Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the
most successful conservation programs ever initiated.
1．What was a cause of the waterfowl population decline in North America?
A．Loss of wetlands. B．Popularity of water sports.
C．Pollution of rivers. D．Arrival of other wild animals.
2．What does the underlined word “decimate” mean in the first paragraph?
A．Acquire. B．Export. C．Destroy. D．Distribute.
3．What is a direct result of the Act passed in 1934?
A．The stamp price has gone down.
B．The migratory birds have flown away.
C．The hunters have stopped hunting.
D．The government has collected money.
4．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．The Federal Duck Stamp Story
B．The National Wildlife Refuge System
C．The Benefits of Saving Waterfowl
D．The History of Migratory Bird Hunting

(2024·湖北武汉4月联考)
When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents ， most of them proudly
replied，“Well，I speak perfect English/Chinese/etc.” But this kind of saying misses the point.
More often than not，what we mean when we say someone “has an accent” is that their
accent is different from the local one，or that pronunciations are different from our own.But this
definition of accents is limiting and could give rise to prejudice.Funnily enough，in terms of the
language study，every person speaks with an accent.It is the regular differences in how we produce
sounds that define our accents.Even if you don’t hear it yourself，you speak with some sort of
accent.In this sense，it’s pointless to point out that someone “has an accent”．We all do!
Every person speaks a dialect，too.In the field of language study，a dialect is a version of a
language that is characterized by its variations of structure ， phrases and words.For
instance，“You got eat or not？”(meaning “Have you eaten？”) is an acceptable and
understood question in Singapore Oral English.The fact that this expression would cause a standard
American English speaker to take pause doesn’t mean that Singapore Oral English is “wrong”
or “ungrammatical”．The sentence is well-formed and clearly communicative，according to
native Singapore English speakers’ solid system of grammar.Why should it be wrong just because
it’s different?
We need to move beyond a narrow conception of accents and dialects—for the benefit of
everyone.
Language differences like these provide insights into people’s cultural experiences and
backgrounds.In a global age，the way one speaks is a distinct part of one’s identity.Most people
would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech.We’d learn more about the world
we live in and make friends along the way.
5．What does the author think of his/her friends’ response in paragraph 1?
A．It reflects their self confidence.
B．It reflects their language levels.
C．It misses the point of communication.
D．It misses the real meaning of accents.
6．Why does the author use the example of Singapore Oral English?
A．To justify the use of dialects.
B．To show the diversity of dialects.
C．To correct a grammatical mistake.D．To highlight a traditional approach.
7．What does the author recommend us to do in the last paragraph?
A．Learn to speak with your local dialect.
B．Seek for an official definition of accents.
C．Appreciate the value of accents and dialects.
D．Distinguish our local languages from others’．
8．What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A．Everyone Has an Accent B．Standard English Is at Risk
C．Accents Enhance Our Identities D．Dialects Lead to Misunderstanding
