The music band Coldplay is taking action to protect the environment. This includes using their fans’ energy to help provide electricity for their performances. In this way, they use electricity without adding carbon gases (含碳气体) to the air. The band hopes to cut the amount of CO2 given out by its business activities by 50 percent.
The Coldplay stars have added special dance floors and energy-storing bicycles to their latest world tour performance. The purpose is to get fans to help produce electricity by dancing and riding. Each dance floor can support many people. It creates electricity when people move on it. Each of the bikes can create an average of 200 watts (瓦特) of electricity. In order to encourage fans to dance or ride more during the performance, they even have competitions to find out which group of fans can create the most electricity.
“Being green is a good business model. That’s what we’d like to show, ” said Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin. “The changes will bring a sense of belonging to the fans. Everything in our show is planned to bring everyone into the same group, singing together. It makes us feel part of a community.”
Coldplay has taken other steps to protect the environment. One of its tour stages uses recycled steel. The band also hopes to set up the world’s first tour battery system, made from 40 recycled electric car batteries. The hope is to power the whole show with batteries.
“It’s very expensive to try these things for the first time,” said Martin, “but we are very happy that we are changing.”
Coldplay is just one music group working to help the environment. Some other famous bands are also taking such steps.
44. What is the theme (主题) of this passage
A. A famous music band.
B. A creative way of environmental protection.
C. A world-tour performance.
D. A sense of belonging to the fans.
45. What does the underlined word “It” in the second paragraph refer to

C. The stage. D. The bicycle.
46. Which ways are introduced to protect the environment in the passage
① Riding energy-storing bicycles.
② Driving or taking electric cars.
③ Building stages with recycled steel.
④ Recycling electric car batteries.
A. ① ② ③ B. ② ③ ④

A habitat is where a plant or animal lives and grows. A habitat is part of an ecosystem where lots of different plants and animals live. Mountains, with their many levels are an ecosystem including different habitats.
At the base of a mountain, you will probably find a forest filled with lots of plants and trees. A grizzly bear or a garter snake might cross your path. You might notice an owl in a tree.
Climb higher, toward the middle of the mountainside and leave the forest behind for grasslands and maybe a stream. Here, you might meet a mountain lion stalking its prey or a salamander (蝾螈) slipping underneath a leaf to hide. A goat might be leaping from rock to rock.
Climb even higher, toward the top, and you’ll notice a change in the temperature. It’s getting colder and snow is covering the mountaintop. There aren’t many plants near the mountaintop, but you might see fuzzy lichen (苔藓) covering rocks like carpeting. The air is thin at the top of the mountain, which makes it difficult for large animals to breathe. When people climb very large mountains, they often take special air bags filled with oxygen. Even though you won’t see many big animals, millions of tiny insects like snow fleas might appear.
Depending on the elevation, you could see deserts, river valleys, meadows, forests and snowcaps all on one mountain. And with each unique habitat, comes unique plant and animal life.
47. What happens as you climb higher and higher up a mountain

VII. 任务型阅读: 阅读下面的语篇材料, 根据所读内容, 完成下列各题。(共5 小题, 计10 分)
Antarctica (南极洲) is known for being a large land of ice and snow, a place too cold for most life. However, the land is slowly starting to turn warm. According to The Guardian, the Antarctic has shown a new high temperature for the first time on record, raising fears of climate change in the world’s coldest place.
On Feb. 9, Brazilian researchers at Seymour Island reported a temperature of 20.75℃ on the icy land of Antarctica. It was almost a full degree higher than the past record of 19.8℃, taken on Signy Island in January 1982.
This record-breaking reading (数据) was taken at a watch station in the northern part of Antarctica. According to Brazilian scientist Carlos Schaefer, the temperature was recorded during a 20-year-long research project. The purpose of this project is to study the effect that climate change has on the permafrost (永冻土) within the area. Permafrost is the earth that stays icy for at least two years.
Although this is a first record high for Antarctica, Schaefer pointed out that “We can’t use this to predict climate change in the future. It’s simply a sign that something different is happening in that area.”
But in fact, the last high temperature reading was around 19℃. These higher temperatures can cause ice in the Antarctic area to melt (融化). The melted ice leads to a rise in sea levels that can put the coast areas in danger. It’s believed to be behind an alarming drop of more than 50 percent in the number of penguins, which are dependent on sea ice.
Like American writer Ernest Hemingway once said, “The Earth is a fine place and worth fighting for.” We should do everything we can to help save our planet. Otherwise, it may become too hot for us to live in.
71. What has happened to the Antarctica leading to fears of climate change again
It has shown ____________________ for the first time on record.
72. Who reported a new high temperature for the first time on record in Antarctica
_________________________________ reported a temperature of 20.75℃ on the icy land of Antarctica.
73. What is the research project for according to the passage
It is _______________ that climate change has on the permafrost within the area.
74. How can higher temperatures influence coast areas
They can ____________________ by causing ice in the Antarctic area to melt which leads to a rise in sea levels.
75. What can you learn from the last paragraph
We should ________________________________________________________.
VIII. 补全对话(共5 小题, 计5 分)

Animals are people’s friends. But many wild animals are endangered. Because the environment that they are living in has changed greatly. For example, their living area has become smaller and smaller because of the development of cities. They have no place to live in except in zoos. And many wild animals now can’t find enough food to eat. At the same time, man is killing animals just for their fur, teeth and meat.
People should realize how serious the situation is and something should be done to save the animals. We are supposed to set up some natural places so that animals can live freely. Besides, people should not be allowed to kill endangered animals or eat their meat. We should do something to make our world cleaner. Fresh air, clean water and grass are all important to animals.
