The first Europeans in Macao came from Portugal. More than four hundred years ago the Portuguese went there to trade with Chinese. Some settled and made their homes there.

27、   My best friend travelled to stay with my family last weekend. When she arrived, she went straight to the kitchen and, without asking, ate some dried fruit. I knew she would do this. We’ve known each other for almost 20 years. She can eat anything she wants from my kitchen.

Our long weekend together was simple. I was recovering from surgery and couldn’t go to shopping malls. We passed the time running errands (差事), but there was never a quiet moment. We’ve lived in different cities for almost a decade. Reunions (相聚) need conversation.

Our personalities are matched and a shared history is extremely valuable. We were competitors at high school before bonding. Then we discovered the many interests that we had in common. Our friendship developed itself quickly. What I like most about our friendship is that we don’t have to “do”, but we simply have to “be”. We drop the act, the performance, the public version (版本) of ourselves.

There is something special about friends who know everything about you. They are rare. They have seen your bright lights of achievements and the depths of desperation. I’m lucky to have found this friend, and to see a future where her companionship remains. Being together is perfection.

【1】Why did the author mention what her friend have done in the kitchen?

A．To show her friend was rude.

B．To introduce her best friend.

C．To show the close bond between them.

D．To prove the author was generous.

【2】How did the author and her friend spend their weekend in paragraph 2?

A．Going on shopping.

B．Talking about their lives.

C．Running in malls.

D．Quarreling about errands.

【3】What does the author value most about their friendship?

A．Having the same interest.

B．Competing to be the best.

C．Being comfortable just being themselves.

D．Supporting each other.

【4】Which of the following saying may the author probably want to express in the text?

A．One good friend in life is enough.

B．A friend is easier lost than found.

C．A friend to all is a friend to none.

D．A friend in need is a friend indeed.

28、Costa Rica has a long-standing commitment (投入) to the environment. 【1】 It has doubled its forest cover across the country in the last 30 years.

In the 1940s, more than three-quarters of the country was covered in mostly rainforests and other woodlands. Then, between the 1940s and 1980s, heavy, uncontrolled logging (伐木) led to serious deforestation (滥伐). 【2】 Realizing the great damage that was happening, government officials took a stand. Through a continued environmental focus, they were able to tum things around to the point that today forest cover has increased to 52%, which is double that of 1983 levels. That forest cover is able to take in a huge amount of CO2 from the atmosphere, fighting climate change for us all.

【3】 The government encourages landowners to protect the land through cash payments if they sign contracts (合同) with the Ministry of Environment. These contracts allow the landowners to take only a certain number of trees from the forest, and also require that they continue planting trees in the deforested areas. 【4】

Robert Blasiak, a researcher at the University of Tokyo, said, “Taking a closer look at what Costa Rica has achieved in the past 30 years may be just the driving force needed to make real change all over the world.”

That is exactly what the Costa Rican leaders hope to achieve. 【5】 The Costa Rican President has called the climate crisis (危机) “the greatest task of our generation”; one that his country is strongly committed to.

A．That is exactly what we’ve been doing.

B．By 1983, only 26% of the country had forest cover.

C．It has dealt with the problem of deforestation effectively.

D．They want to encourage other nations to follow their example.

E．It is not just advanced for its time but is also incomparable in the world.

F．These payments are funded by the country and through international donations.

G．The country has established programs for landowners taking part in reforestation.

29、Known for its skyscrapers and megamalls, Singapore is perhaps not so well-known for its abundance of trees. But according to a new study, it ranks top in the world for urban tree density (密度).

According to the study, almost 30% of the city-state is covered by trees, which is nearly 4% more than joint second-place cities Sydney, Australia and Vancouver, Canada. The study was completed by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the World Economic Forum (WEF) and has measured the urban green canopy (天蓬似的树荫)of 17 key cities around the world using Google Street View data. Of the 17 cities, Paris has the fewest trees with only 8.8% of its urban area covered by greenery. “The green canopy is an important and integral part of urban life. Trees help mitigate extreme temperatures, provide a natural relief from traffic jam and noise, and improve the quality of life for those living in urban environments,”says Treepedia, the website which hosts the findings of the study. The project has the aim of encouraging city planners and residents to do more to promote greenery in their cities.

Nicknamed the City in a Garden, Singapore’s top place spot is no surprise. Parks such as the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, the Botanic Gardens and the newer Gardens by the Bay super park — home to around 400,000 plants—have no doubt contributed to its winning place. The city also has a considerable number of roof gardens and “skyrise” greenery on the front wall of buildings—in fact this type of greenery alone has increased from 61 hectares in 2013 to 72 hectares in 2015. Singapore’s National Parks Board also manages around two million individual trees along streets, and in parks.

【1】Which of the following cites have the least urban green canopy?

A．Sydney.

B．Vancouver.

C．Paris.

D．Singapore.

【2】What does the underlined word "mitigate" in paragraph 2 probably mean ?

A．decrease

B．take

C．record

D．form

【3】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A．Why Singapore is so green.

B．The architecture in Singapore.

C．How Singaporeans plant trees.

D．The amazing parks in Singapore.

【4】Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Green City, Green Life

B．How to Make a City Greener

C．A Study on Green Cities in the World

D．Singapore, the Greenest City in the World
