课时作业(十八)Ⅰ.阅读理解[2023·新课标I卷]When

John

Todd

was

a

child，

he

loved

to

explore

the

woods

around

his

house，

observing

how

nature

solved

problems.

A

dirty

stream，

for

example，

often

became

clear

after

flowing

through

plants

and

along

rocks

where

tiny

creatures

lived.

When

he

got

older，

John

started

to

wonder

if

this

process

could

be

used

to

clean

up

the

messes

people

were

making.After

studying

agriculture，

medicine，

and

fisheries

in

college，

John

went

back

to

observing

nature

and

asking

questions.

Why

can

certain

plants

trap

harmful

bacteria(细菌)？

Which

kinds

of

fish

can

eat

cancer-causing

chemicals？

With

the

right

combination

of

animals

and

plants，

he

figured，

maybe

he

could

clean

up

waste

the

way

nature

did.

He

decided

to

build

what

he

would

later

call

an

eco-machine.The

task

John

set

for

himself

was

to

remove

harmful

substances

from

some

sludge(污泥).

First，

he

constructed

a

series

of

clear

fiberglass

tanks

connected

to

each

other.

Then

he

went

around

to

local

ponds

and

streams

and

brought

back

some

plants

and

animals.

He

placed

them

in

the

tanks

and

waited.

Little

by

little，

these

different

kinds

of

life

got

used

to

one

another

and

formed

their

own

ecosystem.

After

a

few

weeks，

John

added

the

sludge.He

was

amazed

at

the

results.

The

plants

and

animals

in

the

eco-machine

took

the

sludge

as

food

and

began

to

eat

it！

Within

weeks，

it

had

all

been

digested，

and

all

that

was

left

was

pure

water.Over

the

years，

John

has

taken

on

many

big

jobs.

He

developed

a

greenhouse—like

facility

that

treated

sewage(污水)

from

1，600

homes

in

South

Burlington.

He

also

designed

an

eco-machine

to

clean

canal

water

in

Fuzhou，

a

city

in

southeast

China.“Ecological

design”

is

the

name

John

gives

to

what

he

does.

“Life

on

Earth

is

kind

of

a

box

of

spare

parts

for

the

inventor，”

he

says.

“You

put

organisms

in

new

relationships

and

observe

what’s

happening.

Then

you

let

these

new

systems

develop

their

own

ways

to

self-repair.”（

第二节阅读下面材料，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。A

zoo

keeper

had

been

working

at

a

zoo

for

15

years

and

never

experienced

any

problems.

He

always

worked

the

evening

shifts(夜班)

because

he

was

trusted

to

properly

lock

up

the

zoo.

On

a

warm

summer

night

in

late

June，

the

zoo

keeper

turned

off

the

lights

and

wished

all

of

his

animals

a

good

night.

He

left

the

zoo

and

walked

to

his

car

in

the

parking

lot.

As

he

reached

in

his

pocket，

he

realized

that

his

keys

had

been

left

in

the

office.

He

quickly

walked

back

to

the

zoo.When

he

arrived

at

the

door，

to

his

surprise，

it

was

unlocked.

In

fear

of

triggering(触发)

the

alarm

that

he

had

just

set，

he

did

not

turn

on

the

lights.

He

turned

on

the

flashlight

on

his

phone

and

began

to

make

his

way

to

the

office.

When

he

walked

by

the

panther’s(豹)

cages，

he

saw

the

young

cubs

playing

together.

He

liked

the

zoo

better

at

this

hour

because

at

night

was

when

the

animals

come

to

life.At

last，

he

made

it

back

to

the

office.

Unfortunately

this

time

the

office

door

was

locked

and

he

knew

that

if

he

were

to

break

the

window，

he

would

set

off

the

alarm.

Knowing

there

was

no

way

inside，

he

decided

it

would

be

best

to

spend

the

night

inside

the

zoo.

The

zoo

keeper

walked

towards

the

bird

cages

because

he

knew

he

could

sleep

comfortably

on

the

benches

near

the

cages.A

few

hours

later，

the

zoo

keeper

heard

a

door

slam(砰的

一声)

that

woke

him

up.

“Quiet！”

a

voice

whispered.

“What？

There’s

no

one

here.”

Another

voice

said.

“The

old

man

left

hours

ago.”

“Alright，

let’s

just

grab

the

animals

and

get

out

of

here.”注意：续写词数应为150左右。The

zoo

keeper

didn’t

know

what

to

do.

He

began

to

weigh

his

options：

.

.

⁠He

made

up

his

mind

to

frighten

them

by

imitating

the

voice

of

tigers.

1：The

Experience

I

Value

There

are

many

valuable

experiences

in

our

life.As

for

me，

cooking

for

my

mother

on

her

birthday

is

an

unforgettable

incident.I

remember

very

well

that

I

desired

to

see

my

mother’s

biggest

smile

that

day，so

I

decided

to

surprise

her

with

home-

made

scrambled

eggs.Waking

up

really

early，I

tiptoed

to

the

kitchen

to

start

my

project.It

was

the

first

time

I

had

cooked

and

somehow

the

eggs

ended

up

burnt.However，I

was

about

to

throw

everything

away

when

my

mother

came

in.I

smiled

bitterly

while

she

tasted，

saying

they

weren’t

bad.I

guess

love

is

indeed

a

magical

ingredient.Paragraph

2：

The

zoo

keeper

didn’t

know

what

to

do.

He

began

to

⁠

weigh

his

options：

he

could

trigger

the

alarm

but

that

would

raise

questions

as

to

why

he

was

inside，

or

he

could

face

the

thieves

but
