John “Charlie” Veron—widely known as “the Godfather of Coral Reef(珊瑚礁)”—is a celebrated expert who has personally discovered nearly a quarter of the world’s coral species and has spent the past 45 years diving Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.But now the 73-year-old is raising the alarm about its future.The Great Barrier Reef,one of the natural wonders,is 2,300 kilometres long and is the only living organism that can be seen from space.It is considered a World Treasure Site due to its biodiversity with 30 species of whales,dolphins and sharks.Within the reef itself,there are also a number of tiny organisms and fishes.
However,its health is threatened.After the recent mass bleaching(白化) events,Veron dived in many areas of the Great Barrier Reef to see the damage for himself.“I was seeing and feeling it and it was absolutely shocking,” he says.
Veron says the mass bleaching events in the past few years—and the possibility of losing one of nature’s greatest treasures—were a wake-up call for the world in the wider battle against climate change,which,together with the rising sea temperature,is considered the greatest threats to the reef.
Fortunately,earlier this year,the Australian government announced nearly 400 million dollars in new funding towards scientific projects designed to help the reef.
There has been criticism in Australia about the slow process for the funding.“It won’t be wasted,though,” Veron says.“As scientists will be able to create a sort of seed bank to protect the species until the climate is good enough to rebuild the reef.What the scientists hope to do is help nature along a bit after the big carbon dioxide increase is over and it starts to come down.”
1.Why is the Great Barrier Reef considered a treasure site
A.It is a natural wonder.
B.It can be seen from space.
C.It has a rich variety of species.
D.It is home to a great many fishes.
2.What does the passage mainly tell us
A.Climate change is threatening biodiversity.
B.The Great Barrier Reef is in danger of extinction.
C.Scientists have found major factors in the reef’s blenching.
D.Veron has made great contributions to environmental protection.
3.What’s Veron’s attitude to the future of the reef according to the last paragraph
A.Uncaring. B.Doubtful.
C.Uncertain. D.Positive.
4.What is the text
A.A news report. B.A travel guide.

The amount of plastic pollution in the oceans is rapidly increasing.This is problematic,as at least 700 kinds of ocean animals—including sharks,whales,seabirds and turtles—can become caught in the stuff or mistake it for a tasty snack.
While we know that some ocean animals seem to catch plastic because it looks like jellyfish or some other food sources,less research has been carried out into what plastic smells like to ocean animals.But now,a study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has found the coating(涂层) that naturally builds up on ocean plastics causes the rubbish to give off the smell of food.
The researchers took 15 turtles,each around five months old,and placed them in a lab aquarium.They then piped in smells of clean water,clean plastic,turtle food,and plastic that had been soaking in the ocean environment for five weeks.The turtles showed no reaction to the smells of clean water or clean plastic.But when facing ocean soaked plastic or turtle food,they stuck their noses out of the water and showed increased activity.
“This finding is important because it’s the first proof that the smell of ocean plastics causes animals to eat them,” said Dr Kenneth J Lohmann,who took part in the study.“It’s common to find a turtle with its stomach full of plastic materials.There are also increasing reports of sea turtles that have become ill and stuck on the beach due to their taking in plastic.”
According to the researchers,areas of the ocean with much plastic may trick turtles and other animals into thinking that there are plenty of food sources,when the opposite is true.“Once these plastics are in the ocean,we don’t have a good way to remove them or prevent them from smelling like food,” said Lohmann.“The best thing we can do is keep plastic from getting into the ocean at all.”
5.Why is plastic pollution posing a threat to ocean animals
A.It may mislead them as food.
B.It may eat up all jellyfish.
C.It may kill them with its smell.
D.It may trap 700 species of sea animals.
6.What smell did turtles prefer according to the study
A.Sea water.
B.Clean water.
C.Clean plastic.
D.Ocean-soaked plastic.
7.What do we know from the study
A.Turtles seem to eat plastic because it looks like food.
B.Turtles have died out due to their taking in plastic.
C.Turtles eat plastic because it gives off the smell of food.
D.Turtles with their stomachs full of plastic were studied.
8.What are we supposed to do according to Dr.Kenneth J Lohmann
A.Keep away from the polluted ocean.
B.Maintain a plastic-free ocean.
C.Remove plastic from the ocean.
D.Stop people feeding turtles plastic.

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。
It was the day of the big cross-country run.Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route(路线) through thick evergreen forest.
I looked around and finally spotted David,who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence.He was small for ten years old.His usual big toothy smile was absent today.I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children.He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run.
What was wrong He had worked so hard for this event!
I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and asked him what had happened.“I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him,” he explained uncomfortably.“I gave him the choice to run or not,and let him decide.”
I bit back my frustration(懊恼).I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing.After making sure that David could run if he wanted,I turned to find him coming towards me,his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward.
David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children,but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid.He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing.That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team.It just took him longer—that’s all.David had not missed a single practice,and although he always finished his run long after the other children,he did always finish.As a special education teacher at the school,I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
We sat down next to each other,but David wouldn’t look at me._____________________

Let’s Promote Ecotourism
Commonly regarded as low impact travel to undisturbed places,ecotourism has become increasingly popular these years.
With the aim of sustainable development,ecotourism calls on tourists to enjoy the scenery without damaging the natural environment.By being exposed to natural areas,tourists can have a pleasant experience to get close to nature.Meanwhile,ecotourism benefits the economic development of local communities.
As for me,ecotourism is a true eco-friendly trip.We have only one planet.To protect our planet,I do hope we can live in harmony with nature and make sure ecotourism can provide positive experiences for both visitors and hosts.

I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners.As soon as the starting gun rang,the children began to run.After a while,David became the last in the team,as we had expected.However,David seemed calm,firm and persistent.During the whole cross-country race,nobody teased him.On the contrary,when he finally reached the finish line,all the people present cheered for him.It was David’s strong determination and perseverance that helped him become a popular person.分层跟踪检测(一)Starting out & Understanding ideas

Natural silence—the kind when you hear nothing but the sound of nature around you—is becoming increasingly scarce.The rumblings of man-made noise can be heard even in the remote corners of national parks and deep in the Arctic Ocean.
This is having a troubling effect.In humans,noise pollution has been linked to cardiovascular diseases,mental health problems and cognitive impairment in children.In wildlife,it’s disrupting navigation,mating rituals,communication and can cause hearing loss.“We’re losing the ability to listen to nature without noise pollution,” says sound recordist Matt Mikkelsen.He’s part of the non-profit organization Quiet Parks International,which aims to identify and preserve the planet’s last quiet places.
Recently,this took him to Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northeastern Minnesota.No cars,motor boats,electricity or telephone lines are allowed in the 1-million-acre area,making it a strong candidate for Quiet Park status.But listening back to the recording,Mikkelsen can hear the low hum of a commercial jet flying far away.
Quiet Parks hasn’t yet decided if Boundary Waters meets its criteria—it’s one of 260 potential sites around the world that the organization is currently exploring.The team will analyze the sound recordings from each location and consider them alongside other data.
In recent years,the world has been getting louder,with cities and towns expanding and an increasing number of beeping cars,whooshing airplanes and cargo ships with blasting horns.But during the pandemic,there has been momentary respite.In 2020,global air travel was down by 60% and road transport decreased by almost half.Scientists in Europe found that noise caused by humans fell by up to 50% after lockdowns were imposed.
“People relished the silence,” says Mikkelsen.“There were no airplanes in the sky and cars weren’t on the street...It was a miraculous thing to be able to hear the world,all of a sudden,free from noise pollution,”he says.Since the start of the pandemic,Quiet Parks says it has experienced a huge surge in interest for quiet places.“I hope that we can take that desire for a world with less noise forward,” says Mikkelsen,“and appreciate the spots we have,where we can go and not experience noise pollution.”
1.What does the underlined word “scarce” probably mean in paragraph 1
A.Ordinary. B.Special.
C.Rare. D.Typical.
2.What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A.Why we’re losing the ability to listen to nature.
B.How noise pollution affects humans and wildlife.
C.Why noise pollution is linked to certain diseases.
D.How should humans deal with noise pollution.
3.What is Mikkelsen’s attitude towards natural silence
A.Supportive. B.Critical.
C.Indifferent. D.Ambiguous.
4.Where is the text probably from
A.A journal. B.An autobiography.
C.A book review. D.A science fiction.

Insect numbers have decreased by half in some parts of the world due to climate change and intensive agriculture,a study has found.The combined pressures of global heating and farming are driving a “substantial decline” of insects across the globe,according to the UK researchers.
Lead researcher,Dr Charlie Outhwaite of UCL,said losing insect populations could be harmful not only to the natural environment,but to human health and food security,particularly with losses of pollinators(传粉昆虫).“Our findings highlight the urgency of actions to preserve natural habitats,slow the expansion of high-intensity agriculture,and cut emissions to reduce climate change,” she added.
In the latest study,the researchers pulled together data on the range and number of nearly 20,000 insect species,including bees,ants,butterflies,grasshoppers and dragonflies,at about 6,000 different locations.In areas with high-intensity agriculture and substantial warming,insect numbers have decreased by 49%,compared with relatively untouched places that have so far avoided the most severe impacts of climate change,according to the research published in Nature.
But the researchers said there was some cause for hope.Setting aside areas of land for nature creates a refuge(庇护所) for insects,which need shade to survive in hot weather.“Careful management of agricultural areas,such as preserving natural habitats near farmland,may help to ensure that vital insects can still survive,” said Dr Tim Newbold,also of UCL.
Study researcher,Peter McCann,added,“We need to acknowledge how important insects are for the environment as a whole,and for human health and well being,in order to address the threats we pose to them before many species are lost forever.”
5.According to Charlie Outhwaite,how can we stop losing insect numbers
A.Give up developing agriculture.
B.Take action to protect natural habitats.
C.Highlight the importance of food security.
D.Focus on reproducing all sorts of insects.
6.How did the researchers draw the conclusion in the latest study
A.By analyzing data.
B.By carrying out a survey.
C.By doing experiments.
D.By discussing questions.
7.What is Tim Newbold’s attitude to preserving insects
A.Worried. B.Hopeful.
C.Doubtful. D.Indifferent.
8.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.Some rare insect species dying out
B.Natural habitats helping insects survive
C.Insect decline bringing great damage to humans
D.Climate change and farming driving insect decline

Ⅴ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。噪声污染日益加剧,危害人和动物的健康。作者呼吁人们回归自然,感受宁静。
1.C 词义猜测题。画线词所在句意为“自然的宁静变得越来越……”,再根据后一句“即使在国家公园的偏远角落和北冰洋深处,也能听到人为噪声”并结合选项可推知,自然的宁静越来越稀少。
2.B 段落大意题。根据第二段中的“This is having a troubling effect”“In humans”和“In wildlife”可知,本段主要围绕噪声对人和动物的不良影响展开,讲述了噪声污染对人的身心健康造成极大危害,并且对野生动物也造成影响。
3.A 观点态度题。由文章最后一段中的“I hope that we can take that desire for a world...and not experience noise pollution”可知,Mikkelsen非常享受大自然带来的宁静,他希望能找到一个宁静的地方远离噪声污染,由此可知他喜欢、支持自然界的宁静。
4.A 文章类型题。通读全文可知本文主要讲的是噪声污染日益加剧,它危害了人类和野生动物,属于社科类文章。B项为“自传”,C项为“书评”,D项为“科幻小说”。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。由于气候变暖和密集型农业的发展,昆虫的数量正在急剧减少。这一现象给人类健康和食品安全带来了极大的危害。
5.B 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Our findings highlight the urgency of actions to preserve natural habitats,slow the expansion of high-intensity agriculture,and cut emissions to reduce climate change”可知,阻止昆虫数量减少的措施之一就是保护其自然栖息地,故选B项。
6.A 推理判断题。根据第三段的“the researchers pulled together data on the range and number of nearly 20,000 insect species,including bees,ants,butterflies,grasshoppers and dragonflies,at about 6,000 different locations.”可知,科学家收集和对比了各项数据。故是通过分析数据得出结论的。故选A项。
7.B 推理判断题。根据第四段的“Careful management of agricultural areas,such as preserving natural habitats near farmland,may help to ensure that vital insects can still survive”可知,农业区的精细化管理,比如保护农田附近的自然栖息地,或许有助于保证重要昆虫的存活。因此Tim对于保护昆虫的态度是充满希望的。故选B项。
8.D 主旨大意题。根据第一段可知,本篇文章讲述的是气候变化和农业发展导致的昆虫数量减少,所以D项“Climate change and farming driving insect decline”最适合作文章标题。故选D项。
Ⅵ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了越来越多的动物进入城市,并说明了城市可以给动物提供的一些好处。
1.habitats 考查名词的数。句意:越来越多的动物进入城市,因为城市发展和气候变化把动物赶出了它们的自然栖息地。结合上文their可知habitat应用复数形式。故填habitats。
2.that/who 考查强调句。句意:换句话说,是我们人类进入了它们的领地,它们别无选择,只能和我们一起生活。分析句子结构可知此处为强调句“it be+被强调部分+that/who+其他”,被强调句部分为we humans,故填that/who。
3.to move 考查固定短语。表示“别无选择只能……”短语为have no choice but to do sth。故填to move。
4.actually 考查副词。句意:城市实际上为动物提供了一些好处。修饰动词provide应用副词actually,作状语。故填actually。
5.finding 考查非谓语动词。此处指找到充足的食物。此处作介词的宾语,find应用动名词形式。故填finding。
6.variety 考查名词。句意:所以一些动物可以适应城市,它们比它们的野生表亲更聪明,可以找到各种各样的食物。结合句意表示“各种各样的”可知,短语为a variety of。故填variety。
7.to 考查介词。句意:然而,一些不能适应城市的鸟类把城市看作是一个危险的地方。结合句意表示“适应”可知短语为adjust to。故填to。
8.Unable 考查形容词。句意:由于无法区分蓝天和玻璃,它们可能会撞到窗户上,或者因为高楼大厦而改变迁徙路线。结合句意表示“无法”应用形容词unable,作状语,句首单词首字母要大写。故填Unable。
9.migratory 考查形容词。修饰名词routes应用形容词migratory,作定语。故填migratory。
10.survival 考查名词。句意:它们进入我们的城市是它们生存的一种手段。作介词的宾语,应用名词survival,不可数。故填survival。分层跟踪检测(二)Using language

The air is thin and we have to rest several times on the short hike from camp.To our left,snow-covered mountains disappear into clouds that seem almost close enough to touch.On the grassland in front of us,we can just make out a herd of graceful animals.This is why we’re here—to observe Tibetan antelopes.
Tibetan antelopes live on the plains of Tibet,Xinjiang,and Qinghai.Watching them move slowly across the green grass,I’m struck by their beauty.I’m also reminded of the danger they are in.They are being hunted,illegally,for their valuable fur.
My guide is Zhaxi,a villager from Changtang.He works at the Changtang National Nature Reserve.It covers an area of about 120,000 square miles.The reserve is a shelter for the animals and plants of northwestern Tibet.To Zhaxi,protecting the wildlife is a way of life.“We’re not trying to save the animals,” he says.“Actually,we’re trying to save ourselves.”
The 1980s and 1990s were bad times for the Tibetan antelopes.The population dropped by more than 50 percent.Hunters were shooting antelopes to make money.Their habitats were becoming smaller as new roads and railways were built.
In order to save this species from extinction,the Chinese government placed it under national protection.Zhaxi and other volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from attacks.Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains.
The measures were effective.The antelope population has recovered and in June 2015,the Tibetan antelope was removed from the endangered species list.The government,however,does not intend to stop the protection programmes,since the threats to the Tibetan antelope have not yet disappeared.
In the evening,I drink a cup of tea and watch the stars.I think about the antelopes and what Zhaxi told me.Much is being done to protect wildlife,but if we really want to save the planet,we must change our way of life.Only when we learn to exist in harmony with nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet.

Organic food,grown without artificial chemicals,is increasingly popular nowadays.Consumers have been willing to pay up to twice as much for goods with organic labels.However,if you think paying a little more for organic food gets you a more nutritious and safer product,you might want to save your money.A study led by researchers at Stanford University says that organic products aren’t necessarily more nutritious,and they’re no less likely to suffer from disease-causing bacteria,either.
The latest results,published in the Annuals of Internal Medicine,suggest that buyers may be wasting their money.“We did not find strong evidence that organic food is more nutritious or healthier,” says Dr.Crystal Smith-Spangler from Stanford.“So,consumers shouldn’t assume that one type of food has a lower risk or is safer.”
For their new study,Smith-Spangler and her colleagues conducted a review of two categories of research,including 17 studies that compared health outcomes between consumers of organic against traditional food products,and 223 studies that analyzed the nutritional content of the foods,including key vitamins,minerals and fats.
While the researchers found little difference in nutritional content,they did find that organic fruit and vegetables were 20% less likely to have chemicals remaining on the surfaces.Neither organic nor traditional foods showed levels of chemicals high enough to go beyond food safety standards.And both organic and traditional meats,such as chicken and pork,were equally likely to be harmed by bacteria at very low rates.The researchers did find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids,which are also found in fish and can reduce the risk of heart disease.However,these nutritional differences were too small,and the researchers were unwilling to make much of them until further studies confirm the trends.
Organic food is produced with fewer chemicals and more natural-growing practices,but that doesn’t always translate into a more nutritious or healthier product.The US Department of Agriculture(USDA) states that “whether you buy organic food or not,finding the freshest foods available may have the biggest effect on taste”.Fresh food is at least as good as anything marketed as organic.
5.What does the new research question
A.Whether organic food should replace traditional food.
B.Whether organic food has been overpriced by farmers.
C.Whether organic food is grown with less harmful chemicals.
D.Whether organic food is really more nutritious and healthier.
6.What did Smith-Spangler and her colleagues find
A.Organic food could reduce the risk of heart disease.
B.Traditional food was grown with more natural methods.
C.Both organic and traditional food they examined were safe.
D.There was no presence of any forms of bacteria in organic food.
7.Which of the following is relatively healthier according to the passage
A.Organic chicken and pork.
B.Organic milk and chicken.
C.Traditional chicken and pork.
D.Traditional fruit and vegetables.
8.What is the author’s attitude towards organic food
A.Doubtful. B.Neutral.
C.Unconcerned. D.Approving.

Imagine taking a voyage to the deepest part of the ocean.What types of thing would you expect to see Would you see familiar animals and plants or find strange and new ones
Scientists keep looking for new species and new facts. 1 .
Diving deep in the ocean
The deep ocean,1,000 meters below the surface,is freezing cold.
What’s worse,the water pressure can harm you if you don’t have protective devices on.Therefore,deep divers wear special diving suits to protect themselves from the water pressure. 2 ,some of which have robot arms that can collect samples of water,soil,and small animals underwater.
Using satellites for tracking
Satellites up in space can help to track sea animals’ travels in the ocean.Scientists attach some animals with electronic sensors to study them.Then,a satellite can track the signal from the sensor attached on the animal’s fin or back. 3 .Besides,scientists can use this signal to predict the animal’s future movements.
4
What types of animals are in the ocean How many are there Oceanographers studied and counted animals for ten years to discover the answers.They looked at all the world’s oceans from the North Pole to the South Pole.They counted more than 30,000 species in more than 30 million records.More than 6,000 new species had never been seen before!
However,not all the animals have been discovered.
5 .There are many more surprises to come!
A.Counting sea animals
B.Living deep underwater
C.The more they explore,the more they find
D.It shows when,where,and how the animal travels
E.For really deep dives,they ride in small submarines
F.Life is more diverse than people previously thought
G.With sensors,some fish have traveled over 75,000 kilometers
