A
Living in a smaller, more energy efficient home is one of many possible steps that one can take toward a more sustainable lifestyle. One might also choose to compost (制作堆肥), grow one's own food, collect rainwater, or use alternative sources of energy or transportation.Greenliving's author and anti food waste activist Rob Greenfield—best known for his 4,700 mile bicycle journey to raise awareness about food waste across the United States—is a great example of someone who transitioned (转变) from living an ordinary consumerist lifestyle, to one that he now hopes has a lighter impact on the planet.
We last saw Rob in his self built $950 tiny house in San Diego, he's now moved on to yet another tiny home in Orlando, Florida that he's built himself using mostly recycled materials. Everything here cost Rob only $1,500 in total to set up.
Currently, Rob is working on a long term project where he's experimenting with growing 100 percent of his food. Thus, though there are a couple of shelves dedicated to personal effects like books and clothing, most of Rob's shelves are dedicated to storing seeds, preserves and things like fire cider and honey wine. Rob also keeps bees and makes his own honey!
Unlike his previous off grid (离网的) home in San Diego, Rob chose to use an extension cord (延长线) that connects back to the main house for electricity. Rob's outdoor kitchen is simple too, but has been well considered: for cooking, he uses a solar oven, plus a home biogas (沼气) cooking system. There's a compost bin (堆肥箱) nearby where he throws any waste.
Such a simple lifestyle might not be for everyone, but Rob's aim is to inspire, to lead by example and show that small, personal choices toward sustainability are indeed achievable.
1.What is Rob famous for
A.Growing his own food.
B.Living in a self built house.
C.Fighting against food waste.
D.Taking a cross country trip on foot.
2.What is Rob's house in Orlando like
A.It is off grid.
B.It is large and splendid.
C.It is much too expensive.
D.It is made of recycled materials.
3.Which of the following can best describe Rob's lifestyle
A.Green. B.Modern.
C.Unhealthy. D.Fast paced.
4.Why does Rob lead such a lifestyle
A.To get close to nature.
B.To recover from an illness.
C.To collect enough money for his project.
D.To raise people's environmental awareness.

[2023·山东省青岛地区高二上期中]In March, the water between Canada and Greenland, called Baffin Bay, is covered with sea ice. Scientists in a helicopter fly over, searching for narwhals (独角鲸). The narwhal is one of the most mysterious whale species on Earth. Each male sports a single tusk (长牙) 6 to 10 feet long. Narwhals are the only whales with tusks. They feed on fish, squid and shrimp. By staying under the ice, they avoid killer whales and other predators.
The helicopter lands on the frozen ocean, and Dr. Jens Koblitz climbs out. He studies animal sounds at the BioAcoustics Network. And he works with Dr. Kristin Laidre, a biologist who studies mammals that live in the Arctic.
Dr.Koblitz lowers a weighted line into the icy water. Attached to the line are 16 underwater microphones strung together, about a yard apart. Each sound from a narwhal hits each microphone at a slightly different time. When Dr. Koblitz records, he captures information about how the whales dive and rise as they hunt for food.
“The windchill is minus 5 to minus 22 degrees Fahrenheit. I have to quickly get everything back inside the helicopter so my equipment isn't destroyed by the cold and ice,” he says.
Narwhals use echolocation. The whales buzz, click, and creak. When that sound wave hits an object, like a fish, it bounces back, producing an echo. They use sonar to find holes in the ice and prey in the dark.
But as the average global temperature increases, the Arctic ice is shrinking. The narwhal will face a severe threat as the ice melts. For centuries, sea ice has blocked most ships from the Arctic Ocean. But scientists predict the ocean will be ice free in a few decades. Then ships will roam the narwhals habitats. The noise of the ships may drown out the whales' clicks.
Dr.Laidre says, “If we understand what sounds they use, we can better understand how human impacts.” That understanding can show humans how to help narwhals survive.
5.What is special about narwhals
A.They are the largest whales.
B.They live on sea creatures.
C.Male whales have tusks.
D.They prefer living in warm waters.
6.What does Dr. Koblitz do in Baffin Bay
A.Study mammals in the Arctic.
B.Record narwhal sounds.
C.Track climate changes.
D.Learn how narwhals hunt for food.
7.Which of the following best describes Dr. Koblitz's work
A.Challenging. B.Boring.
C.Well paid. D.Relaxing.
8.What does Paragraph 6 mainly talk about
A.The effects of global warming on narwhals.
B.The current situation of narwhals.
C.Scientists' research on the ocean.
D.Human activities in the Arctic.

1.答案与解析:C 根据下文“getting it blankets and water and calling professional rescuers”可知,人们纷纷伸出援手,取来毯子、水并叫来了专业的救援人员可做推断,此处表示海滩上的人聚集起来帮助生病的海豹。

9.答案与解析:D 上文提到Pala思考如何提高人们对无家可归问题的认识,再结合下文可知, Kids4Community是一家帮助无家可归者的非营利组织,由此可推断此处表示解决办法是Kids4Community对应上文的问题。
10.答案与解析:C 结合语境和最后一段的 “involve more kids in charity”可知, Kids4Community会开展一些专门让孩子们加入的慈善项目。
11.答案与解析:C 句意:两年多来, Kids4Community见证了一系列帮助无家可归者的举措的启动,并筹集了超过五十万美元。 结合语境以及空后的“the launch of a series of initiatives to help the homeless and raised over half a million dollars.”可知,此处阐述的是自打成立Kids4Community两年以来的发展情况。
12.答案与解析:B 句意:虽然管理非营利组织占据Pala大部分时间,但他确保留出时间继续跑步。下文提到“he makes sure of setting aside time to keep running”,即Pala会抽出时间跑步,结合常识和下文可知,此处表示管理Kids4Community占据了Pala大部分时间。
13.答案与解析:A 上文提到虽然Pala忙于管理Kids4Community,他仍然坚持抽出时间跑步以及下文提到Kids4Community组织了一场5公里赛跑以帮助一个房屋建造项目,筹集了10 000美元可知,此处表示Pala把两者兼顾得很好。
14.答案与解析:D 下文提到Pala正致力于举办一场10公里赛跑,并帮助整个州的无家可归者以及让更多孩子参与到慈善事业中来可知,此处表示Pala对自己的目标很明确。
