A
Canyoning
The sports of canyoning (蹦谷) explore the high-energy environment where water meets rock on the coast. Protected by wetsuits and helmets, people jump from cliffs and waterfalls and discover caves that would not normally be arrived at.
It was first done in the U.K. by TYF Adventure (01437 721611, www.) and several thousand people jump from the cliffs near St David’s each year. A half day canyoning trip costs ￡50 (￡30 for children under 16).
Diving
Diving is not popular with British people. The difficulties of wild waters are greater because the water is colder and not clear enough, but the coasts of Cornwall, Wales and Scotland have some of the best diving in the world.
The British Sub Aqua Club (0870 112 9133, www.bsac.com) and the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (01580 819688, www.) run courses teaching the important skills.
Surfing
The best surfing places in the UK are on the southwest coast where it is warmer, especially in Cornwall. The best time of year to surf in the UK is late summer and autumn.
The British Surfing Association (01479 861256, www.britsurf.co.uk) has a list of famous surf schools around the country.
Rock climbing
The most popular natural rocks in Britain include the Peak District, the Lake District, while large areas of Scotland are a climber’s ideal place. Climbing courses and climbing walls can be found on the website of the British Mountaineering Council (0870 010 4878, www.thebmc.co.uk).
1. If a couple with their child of 15 join in Canyoning for a day, they will pay ________.
A. ￡130 B. ￡160 C. ￡260 D. ￡320
2. Which of the following is NOT well accepted by British people
A. Canyoning. B. Diving. C. Surfing. D. Rock climbing.

A Goodwill employee finds $42,000 in donated clothing and return s it to the owner.
The discovery came during a regular day on the job as Andrea Lessing, a goodwill employee, was performing her routine quality examination on closing items on the sales floor. As she pulled out two sweaters tied together from a donation box, she felt something heavy left. She first assumed the items were just books. When she pulled the sweaters apart, to her astonishment, she found lots of envelopes filled with $100 bills. The cash was in $100 bills and totalled $42, 000 dollars.
Andrea Lessing is used to discovering unique treasures in the varied collection of donated items her store receives daily. She always tries to be a good example to her daughter, so she immediately did the right thing and reported the cash finding. Luckily, the store’s manager was then able to locate and return the money to the donator who had mistakenly placed the cash in the wrong box.
Andrea, mother of a six-year-old girl, admitted it was hard for her to do with that much money. Some might have thought that it was Andrea’s lucky day, having a small fortune. However, the temptation (诱惑) to keep the cash by herself was just a passing thought. Andrea’s honest nature inspired her to do the right thing.
Without hesitation, she handed the cash over to the store’s manager so they could find the right owner. Andrea was not expecting a reward, but the owner of the money surprised her with a 1000 reward. Andrea was teary eyed and overcome with joy as her “good deed” flowed right back to her. She plans to spend part of the reward money on a memorable birthday party for her daughter.

In both Africa and Asia elephants are being threatened by changes in their natural habitats. People are moving into the elephants’ habitats and endangering their survival. In the country of Sri Lanka, there is one place where elephants are not only protected but also respected. It is called Elephant Transit Home (ETH).
Set up in 1995, the ETH aims to protect and care for baby elephants that are found injured or living without their mothers in the wild. Every year about 30 baby elephants in Sri Lanka need help. Many are brought to the ETH. There they are given food, shelter, and medical care. Most importantly, they are given the chance to be with other elephants and become part of a herd.
A day at the ETH begins early in the morning when the baby elephants are given their first feeding of milk. During the day, each baby will drink an average of 13 gallons of milk. Older elephants are fed mostly coconut leaves and other native plants. There are no boundaries in the area for the baby elephants as they have the freedom to walk wherever they want. The cost of caring for the baby elephants is high. The ETH spends about $125,000 each year on powdered milk for the baby elephants.
At the ETH, workers try to reduce human connections with the elephants. They also try to increase bonds (联系) between the elephants. It usually takes three years for a baby elephant to be set free into its natural habitat. The elephants are sent back to the wild together with other orphans with whom they have bonded. This program helps them return to the wild as members of a herd that will communicate with each other and take care of each other.
The ETH is considered as one of the best animal protection sites in the world. Not only are the elephants cared for, but they are treated with respect. Most importantly, they go back to live in the wild, where they belong.
8. What do we know about the ETH
A. It helps to keep baby elephants safe. B. It saves hundreds of elephants every year.
C. It aims to protect elephants from extinction. D. It changes elephants’ habitats for the better.
9. What does the underlined word “boundaries” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Extreme climates. B. Dividing lines.
C. Limited foods. D. Endangered species.
10. Why do the workers reduce human connections with the elephants
A. To train them to stay away from hunters.
B. To provide them with more living space.
C. To study them better in a natural environment.
D. To help them make it in the wild as a herd.
11. What’s the purpose of the text
A. To show the ways of wildlife protection. B. To explain the threat baby elephants face.
C. To introduce an animal protection project. D. To persuade the readers to protect elephants.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C

推理判断题。根据第四段关键句“At the ETH, workers try to reduce human connections with the elephants. They also try to increase bonds (联系) between the elephants.”（在ETH，工作人员试图减少人类与大象的联系。他们还试图增加大象之间的联系。）和“This program helps them return to the wild as members of a herd that will communicate with each other and take care of each other.”（这个项目帮助它们作为一个群体的成员返回野外，这个群体将相互交流并照顾彼此。）可知，ETH减少人类与大象的联系，是为了增加大象之间的联系，然后帮助它们作为一个群体的成员返回野外，由此可知，工人们减少了人类与大象的联系，是为了帮助它们作为一个群体返回野外。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“In the country of Sri Lanka, there is one place where elephants are not only protected but also respected. It is called Elephant Transit Home (ETH).”（在斯里兰卡，有一个地方，大象不仅受到保护，而且受到尊重。它被称为大象运输之家（ETH）。）和最后一段关键句“The ETH is considered as one of the best animal protection sites in the world.”（ETH被认为是世界上最好的动物保护区之一。）可知，本文主要介绍了一个名为ETH的动物保护区，旨在保护和照顾在野外受伤或没有母亲一起生活的小象，帮助小象回归野外，由此可知，这篇文章的目的是介绍一个动物保护项目。故选C项。
D
George jumped on an e-scooter (电动摩托车) and went to a supermarket. At the end of the ride, a message appeared on the screen: “Your ride was carbon-free.” These words showed the environment-friendly marketing of e-scooter companies. But George, then a graduate student, and his adviser, Johnson had doubts about them.
E-scooters have appeared in cities over the last two years. Sure, they don’t produce waste gases. “But you have to think about the other things that are required to have the e-scooter charged (充电) and ready for you to use,” Johnson said. So he and his students decided to work out the full environmental influence of e-scooters over their lifetimes.
The researchers bought an e-scooter and separated it into parts. They worked out the greenhouse gas emissions (排放) while people make it. They also looked at the resulting air and water pollution. Those influences were great. They found that materials and production accounted for about half of the e-scooter’s global warming influence.
Those results depend heavily on e-scooters’ long life. Bird’s first e-scooters lasted about 3—4 months, and the newer Bird Zeros are said to make it to about 10 months. However, one study found that e-scooters in Louisville, Kentucky, only survived about 29 days. If such short lifetimes are common, it would worsen the true influence of materials and production mentioned above, Johnson said.
Luckily, there are ways to reduce the environmental influence of e-scooters. They suggest that companies take steps to increase e-scooters’ lifetimes. They also suggest simplifying the collection process. Not every e-scooter needs to be picked up. About one in six e-scooters still had a full charge at the end of the day.
12 Why does the author talk about George’s riding an e-scooter
A. To introduce the environmental benefits of e-scooters.
B. To describe e-scooter companies’ marketing methods.
C. To bring in research on e-scooters’ environmental influence.
D. To show the popularity of e-scooters among university students.
13. What did Johnson talk about in Paragraph 2
A. Disadvantages of e-scooters. B. The development of e-scooters.
C. Preparations for the use of e-scooters. D. The reason for their research on e-scooters.
14. What worsens the environmental influence of e-scooters
A. Their lifetimes are too short. B. Their charging rates are low.
C. They use too much electricity. D. They need to be charged frequently.
15. What do the researchers think of e-scooters
A. They need to be managed better. B. They shouldn’t be collected at night.
C. They need more support and attention. D. They should be banned from production.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究表明，电动摩托车实际上不像其宣传的那样非常环保，这种车在材料和生产阶段产生的温室气体排放量以及空气和水污染问题相当严重，而其寿命太短会加剧对环境的影响。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“George jumped on an e-scooter (电动摩托车) and went to a supermarket. At the end of the ride, a message appeared on the screen: “Your ride was carbon-free.” These words showed the environment-friendly marketing of e-scooter companies. But George, then a graduate student, and his adviser, Johnson had doubts about them. (George跳上一辆电动摩托车，去了一家超市。骑行结束后，屏幕上出现了一条信息：“你的骑行实现了零碳排放。”这些话展示了电动摩托车公司的环保营销。但当时还是研究生的George和他的导师Johnson对此表示怀疑。)”可知，作者提到George骑电动摩托车，以此来引入关于电动摩托车对环境影响的研究。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“E-scooters have appeared in cities over the last two years. Sure, they don’t produce waste gases. “But you have to think about the other things that are required to have the e-scooter charged (充电) and ready for you to use,” Johnson said. (电动摩托车在过去两年中出现在城市中。当然，它们不会产生废气。Johnson说：“但是，你必须考虑让电动摩托车充电并准备好使用所需的其他东西。”)”可知，这里Johnson主要解释了他们研究电动摩托车的原因。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“If such short lifetimes are common, it would worsen the true influence of materials and production mentioned above, Johnson said. (Johnson说，如果如此短的寿命是普遍现象，它将恶化上述材料和生产的真正影响。)”可知，电动摩托车的寿命太短会加剧其对环境的影响。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“They suggest that companies take steps to increase e-scooters’ lifetimes. They also suggest simplifying the collection process. (他们建议公司采取措施延长电动摩托车的使用寿命。他们还建议简化收集流程。)”可知，研究者对电动摩托车的使用提供了相应的建议。由此可知，他们认为它们需要得到更好的管理。故选A项。

Canyoning
The sports of canyoning (蹦谷) explore the high-energy environment where water meets rock on the coast. Protected by wetsuits and helmets, people jump from cliffs and waterfalls and discover caves that would not normally be arrived at.
It was first done in the U.K. by TYF Adventure (01437 721611, www.) and several thousand people jump from the cliffs near St David’s each year. A half day canyoning trip costs ￡50 (￡30 for children under 16).
Diving
Diving is not popular with British people. The difficulties of wild waters are greater because the water is colder and not clear enough, but the coasts of Cornwall, Wales and Scotland have some of the best diving in the world.
The British Sub Aqua Club (0870 112 9133, www.bsac.com) and the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (01580 819688, www.) run courses teaching the important skills.
Surfing
The best surfing places in the UK are on the southwest coast where it is warmer, especially in Cornwall. The best time of year to surf in the UK is late summer and autumn.
The British Surfing Association (01479 861256, www.britsurf.co.uk) has a list of famous surf schools around the country.

A Goodwill employee finds $42000 in donated clothing and return s it to the owner.
The discovery came during a regular day on the job as Andrea Lessing, a goodwill employee, was performing her routine quality examination on closing items on the sales floor. As she pulled out two sweaters tied together from a donation box, she felt something heavy left. She first assumed the items were just books. When she pulled the sweaters apart, to her astonishment, she found lots of envelopes filled with $100 bills. The cash was in $100 bills and totalled $42, 000 dollars.
Andrea Lessing is used to discovering unique treasures in the varied collection of donated items her store receives daily. She always tries to be a good example to her daughter, so she immediately did the right thing and reported the cash finding. Luckily, the store’s manager was then able to locate and return the money to the donator who had mistakenly placed the cash in the wrong box.
Andrea, mother of a six-year-old girl, admitted it was hard for her to do with that much money. Some might have thought that it was Andrea’s lucky day, having a small fortune. However, the temptation (诱惑) to keep the cash by herself was just a passing thought. Andrea’s honest nature inspired her to do the right thing.
Without hesitation, she handed the cash over to the store’s manager so they could find the right owner. Andrea was not expecting a reward, but the owner of the money surprised her with a 1000 reward. Andrea was teary eyed and overcome with joy as her “good deed” flowed right back to her. She plans to spend part of the reward money on a memorable birthday party for her daughter.

In both Africa and Asia elephants are being threatened by changes in their natural habitats. People are moving into the elephants’ habitats and endangering their survival. In the country of Sri Lanka, there is one place where elephants are not only protected but also respected. It is called Elephant Transit Home (ETH).
Set up in 1995, the ETH aims to protect and care for baby elephants that are found injured or living without their mothers in the wild. Every year about 30 baby elephants in Sri Lanka need help. Many are brought to the ETH. There they are given food, shelter, and medical care. Most importantly, they are given the chance to be with other elephants and become part of a herd.
A day at the ETH begins early in the morning when the baby elephants are given their first feeding of milk. During the day, each baby will drink an average of 13 gallons of milk. Older elephants are fed mostly coconut leaves and other native plants. There are no boundaries in the area for the baby elephants as they have the freedom to walk wherever they want. The cost of caring for the baby elephants is high. The ETH spends about $125,000 each year on powdered milk for the baby elephants.
At the ETH, workers try to reduce human connections with the elephants. They also try to increase bonds (联系) between the elephants. It usually takes three years for a baby elephant to be set free into its natural habitat. The elephants are sent back to the wild together with other orphans with whom they have bonded. This program helps them return to the wild as members of a herd that will communicate with each other and take care of each other.
The ETH is considered as one of the best animal protection sites in the world. Not only are the elephants cared for, but they are treated with respect. Most importantly, they go back to live in the wild, where they belong.
8. What do we know about the ETH
A. It helps to keep baby elephants safe. B. It saves hundreds of elephants every year.
C. It aims to protect elephants from extinction. D. It changes elephants’ habitats for the better.
9. What does the underlined word “boundaries” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Extreme climates. B. Dividing lines.
C. Limited foods. D. Endangered species.
10. Why do the workers reduce human connections with the elephants
A. To train them to stay away from hunters.
B. To provide them with more living space.
C. To study them better in a natural environment.
D. To help them make it in the wild as a herd.
11. What’s the purpose of the text
A. To show the ways of wildlife protection. B. To explain the threat baby elephants face.
C. To introduce an animal protection project. D. To persuade the readers to protect elephants.

Sure, they don’t produce waste gases. “But you have to think about the other things that are required to have the e-scooter charged (充电) and ready for you to use,” Johnson said. So he and his students decided to work out the full environmental influence of e-scooters over their lifetimes.
The researchers bought an e-scooter and separated it into parts They worked out the greenhouse gas emissions (排放) while people make it. They also looked at the resulting air and water pollution. Those influences were great. They found that materials and production accounted for about half of the e-scooter’s global warming influence.
Those results depend heavily on e-scooters’ long life. Bird’s first e-scooters lasted about 3—4 months, and the newer Bird Zeros are said to make it to about 10 months. However, one study found that e-scooters in Louisville, Kentucky, only survived about 29 days. If such short lifetimes are common, it would worsen the true influence of materials and production mentioned above, Johnson said.
Luckily, there are ways to reduce the environmental influence of e-scooters. They suggest that companies take steps to increase e-scooters’ lifetimes. They also suggest simplifying the collection process. Not every e-scooter needs to be picked up. About one in six e-scooters still had a full charge at the end of the day.

A. To introduce the environmental benefits of e-scooters.
B. To describe e-scooter companies’ marketing methods.
C. To bring in research on e-scooters’ environmental influence.

13. What did Johnson talk about in Paragraph 2
A. Disadvantages of e-scooters. B. The development of e-scooters.
C. Preparations for the use of e-scooters. D. The reason for their research on e-scooters.
14. What worsens the environmental influence of e-scooters

“That’s OK. You can leave now!”the teacher said.
Melanie was shocked to hear this. So were her parents. They couldn’t believe their ears.
