【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了气候变化和其他人为活动导致蜜蜂数量的减少以及养蜂人蒂勒独特的养蜂方法与感悟。
1.activities [考查名词的数。此处other修饰可数名词复数，故填activities。]
2.that/which [考查定语从句。空处引导限制性定语从句，先行词为chemicals，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，故填that/which。]
3.making [考查非谓语动词。空前是一个完整的句子，此处应用非谓语动词作状语，根据句意判断，此处应用现在分词作结果状语，表示自然而然的结果。]
4.a [考查冠词。此处表泛指，beekeeper是发音以辅音音素开头的可数名词，需要用不定冠词a修饰，故填a。]

【大题提能】
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Compared with the obvious environmental issues we hear about every day，littering often takes a backseat—but it’s more pressing than we may think.
Some may say that a banana peel out of your car along the motorway would be a harmless action.Actually，they are wrong.A banana peel can take up to two years to decompose (分解)，and with a third of motorists admitting to littering while driving，that’s a whole lot of discarded banana peels，or much worse.An orange peel and a cigarette butt has a similar biodegrading (生物降解) term to that of a banana，but tin and aluminium cans last up to 100 years，and plastic bottles last forever，so do glass bottles and plastic bags.
Despite the fact that longer－lasting materials will serve to damage the environment and its animals for longer，we can’t only measure the severity of a certain type of rubbish by its lifetime.For example，despite having a fairly short biodegrading span，more than 120 tons of cigarette－related litter is thrown away in the UK every day.Similarly，our regular littering here and there has caused the UK’s mouse population to increase by 60 million.This suddenly isn’t so mysterious when you consider that since the 1960s our annual littering has increased by an amazing 500 per cent.
It’s not a cheap habit either：UK taxpayers spent ￡500 million on keeping the streets clean.So，it’s not surprising that if caught fly－tipping，you could face a ￡20，000 fine.Regardless of how severe the punishment might seem，however，among the reported cases only 2，000 were punished out of 825，000，so we still have some way to go in making sure people observe the rules.
To take back our beautiful cities，we need to do more than simply not leaving rubbish where it ought not to be.We need to care more about the world around us.
【语篇解读】 本文是议论文，主要讨论了与日常谈论的环保问题相比，乱扔垃圾往往被置于次要地位——但它比我们想象的更紧迫。
1.Which of the following is easiest to decompose comparatively
A.An orange peel. B.A plastic bag.
C.An aluminium can. D.A glass bottle.
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中“An orange peel and a cigarette butt has...so do glass bottles and plastic bags.”可知，橘子皮相比较其他三种东西更容易分解。
√
2.What can we know from Paragraph 3
A.Annual littering has increased a little in UK since the 1960s.
B.Shorter－lasting materials will be less harmful to the environment.
C.Cigarette－related litter is a severe environmental problem in UK.
D.Regular littering has caused the UK’s mouse population to reach 60 million.
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Despite the fact that longer－lasting materials will serve...is thrown away in the UK every day.”可知，在英国，与香烟有关的垃圾是一个严重的环境问题。A、B、D项均与原文不符。
√
3.Which of the following can best describe UK’s punishment on littering according to Paragraph 4
A.Every little helps.
B.A drop in the bucket.
C.No pains，no gains.
D.More haste，less speed.
解析 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Regardless of how severe the punishment might seem...in making sure people observe the rules.”可知，关于在垃圾上的处罚是远远不够的。结合选项意思可知，B项符合题意。
√
4.What is the best title of the passage
A.Rubbish collection，an urgent task.
B.Environment issue，a big concern.
C.Littering，a surprisingly big issue.
D.Long－lasting materials，a hidden danger.
解析 标题归纳题。根据文章第一段以及最后一段可知，文章主要讲的是乱扔垃圾是一个惊人的大问题。
√
B
Skeptics are strange a lot.Some of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the environment and they are tired of people who disagree with them.Those people，say skeptics，spread nothing but bad news about the environment.The “eco－guilt” brought on by the discouraging news about our planet gives rise to the popularity of skeptics as people search for more comforting world views.
Perhaps that explains why a new book by Bjorn Lomborg received so much publicity.That book，The Skeptical Environmentalist，declares that it measures the “real state of the world” as fine.Of course，another explanation is the deep pockets of some big businesses with special interests.Indeed，Mr Lomborg’s views are similar to those of some industry－funded organizations，which start huge activities through the media to confuse the public about issues like global warming.
So it was strange to see Mr Lomborg’s book go largely unchallenged in the media though his beliefs were contrary to most scientific opinions.One national newspaper in Canada ran a number of articles and reviews full of words of praise，even with the conclusion that “After Lomborg，the environmental movement will begin to die down.”
Such one－sided views should have immediately been challenged.But only a different review appeared in Nature，a respected science magazine with specific readership.The review remarked that Mr Lomborg’s “preference for unexamined materials is incredible”.
A critical eye is valuable，and the media should present information in such a way that could allow people to make informed decisions.Unfortunately，that is often inaccessible as blocked by the desire to be shocking or to defend some special interest.People might become half－blind before a world partially exhibited by the media.That’s a shame，because matters concerning the health of the planet are far too important to be treated lightly.
【语篇解读】 本文是议论文。文章说明了环保怀疑主义者拒绝承认人类行为对环境的严重威胁。Bjorn Lomborg在他的新书中认为现在地球的环境状态良好，《自然》杂志认为他所使用的材料未经检查，结果并不可信。
5.According to the passage，which of the following may be regarded as “skeptics”？
A.People who agree on the popularity of “eco－guilt”.
B.People who dislike the harmful effect of human activities.
C.People who disbelieve the serious situation of our planet.
D.People who spread comforting news to protect our environment.
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Some of them refuse to admit...who disagree with them.”可知，一些怀疑主义者拒绝承认人类行为对环境的严重威胁。
√
6.Which of the following can be a reason for the popularity of Lomborg’s book
A.The book challenges views about the fine state of the world.
B.Some big businesses intend to protect their own interests.
C.The author convinces people to speak comforting worldviews.
D.Industry－funded media presents confusing information.
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Indeed，Mr Lomborg’s views are similar to...like global warming.”可知，Lomborg的书很受欢迎是因为他的观点和很多受到工业资助的组织一致，背后有大的企业在维护他们的利益，用Lomborg的观点来混淆视听。
√
7.The author mentioned the review in Nature in order to ________.
A.find fault with Lomborg’s book
B.voice a different opinion
C.challenge the authority of the media
D.point out the value of scientific views
解析 推理判断题。根据第四段可知，Lomborg的观点本应该被批评，《自然》杂志就认为Lomborg的观点所使用的材料是未经检查的，他的观点是难以相信的，作者提出《自然》杂志就是为了表达不同的观点。
√
8.What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage
A.To show the importance of presenting overall information by the media.
B.To warn the public of the danger of half－blindness with reviews.
C.To blame the media’s lack of responsibility in information.
D.To encourage the skeptics to have a critical eye.
解析 写作意图题。根据全文内容尤其是最后一段中的“A critical eye is valuable...to make informed decisions.”可知，作者认为新闻媒体的批判性眼光很重要，为了让人们做出明智决定，媒体信息的呈现方式很重要，即媒体应该客观批判地呈现所有信息(让人们做出决定)。
√
Ⅱ.七选五
A future where insects make up a large part of the world’s diet is on the horizon.Despite the unpleasant nature of such cuisine，insects have been considered a delicacy in some parts of world for centuries.Their being low－fat and high－protein makes them a perfect choice for reducing hunger.__1__
Animal protein from livestock (家畜)，such as cows，chickens and pigs，takes up 80 percent of the entire world’s farmland，despite only making up less than one－fifth of calories consumed globally.__2__ Thus it would support a variety of biodiversity as nature intended.
Insects such as grasshoppers，mealworms and crickets are packed full of protein with much higher vitamin levels than pork or beef.__3__ Greenhouse gas emissions through this process are also very little，with insect waste making excellent fertilizer (肥料) for agricultural soil.
It seems that insects are an ideal solution to many issues the world today is faced with.__4__ Urban areas of Asia，Europe and North America are most likely to associate insects with dirt instead of as a tasty meal.
Times are changing.The European Union last year declared that mealworms were safe for human consumption.Cricket protein powder is also increasing greatly in popularity，with Canada rapidly becoming the largest market for the product.
__5__ As we explore our solar system，efficient means of producing animal－based proteins will become vital.None are more efficient space－wise than insects.And the colonies of the future could well find themselves enjoying fried crickets with a pint of beer while watching the Martian sunset.
A.They also have a host of environmental benefits.
B.Insects reproduce quickly and have high growth rates.
C.Unlike agriculture，insects produce far fewer greenhouse gases.
D.They require little space，water and technology to raise compared to livestock.
E.However，making them a delicious cuisine can be a challenge in several cultures.
F.By freeing up livestock space，huge expanses of land could be returned to nature.
G.A future where insects will become invaluable to space exploration is also upcoming.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了用昆虫制作美味佳肴的好处。昆虫的低脂肪和高蛋白使它们成为减少饥饿的完美选择，而且用昆虫制作美味佳肴还能带来许多环境效益。
1.A [上文“尽管这种菜肴的性质令人不快，但几个世纪以来，昆虫一直被视为世界上某些地区的美味佳肴。它们的低脂肪和高蛋白使它们成为减少饥饿的完美选择。”指出昆虫成为美味佳肴的原因，下文也介绍了昆虫的环境效益，A 项“它们还有许多环境效益。”承上启下，继续描述昆虫成为美味佳肴的原因。]
2.F [上文“来自牲畜，如牛、鸡和猪的动物蛋白，占据了全世界 80%的农田，尽管只占全球消耗卡路里的不到五分之一。”指出牲畜占据了全世界 80%的农田，F 项“通过释放牲畜的空间，大片的土地可以回归自然。”承接上文，指出释放这些空间会有好处。]
3.D [上文“蝗虫、粉虱和蟋蟀等昆虫富含蛋白质，维生素含量比猪肉或牛肉高得多。”指出饲养昆虫的好处，下文“通过这一过程的温室气体排放量也很少，昆虫废弃物可以作为农业土壤的优质肥料。”也是在讲饲养昆虫的好处。由此可知，空处也应围绕饲养昆虫的好处来写，D 项“与家畜相比，它们需要很少的空间、水和技术来饲养。”承上启下，符合语境。]
4.E [上文“昆虫似乎是当今世界面临的许多问题的理想解决方案。”指出用昆虫制作美味佳肴能解决许多问题，下文“在亚洲、欧洲和北美的城市地区，人们更倾向于将昆虫与泥土联系在一起，而不是将其作为美味的一餐。”指出有些地区不用昆虫来做美味佳肴。由此可知，E 项“然而，在不同的文化中，把它们做成美味的菜肴可能是一个挑战。”和上文是转折关系，且下文具体说明了 E 项内容。]
5.G [下文“随着我们探索太阳系，生产动物蛋白质的有效方法将变得至关重要。在空间利用方面，没有什么比昆虫更有效率。”指出昆虫将在太空探索方面发挥的作用。由此可知，G 项“昆虫将成为太空探索无价之宝的未来也即将到来。”引起下文，符合语境。]

What’s Really Green
Most of us are aware that we must take care of the environment，and the majority of us take steps to save energy，and reduce waste and pollution.But recently，some“green truths” have been shown to be only half true，or even completely false.__1__
Paper shopping bags are better than plastic ones.
Plastic bags cause litter and are a danger to wild animals，which mistake them for food.It takes hundreds of years for plastic to break down，but much less time for paper.Because of this，people think paper bags are the better environmental choice.
However，making a paper bag uses four times as much energy as making a plastic bag and up to three times the amount of water.__2__ In fact，both kinds of bags are bad for the environment.So，take a reusable bag with you when you go shopping.
__3__
It seems like common sense：eating local food should be better for the environment，because it does not need to be transported long distances and kept cold during transport.__4__ It is the production of food，not its transport，that uses most of the energy and produces most of the greenhouse gases.In some cases，local food might have used more energy and produced more greenhouse gases than food grown a long way away，even taking into account its transport.
It’s better to take a shower than a bath.
__5__ If you spend more than eight minutes in a shower，you’ll use as much water as in a bath—about 50 litres of water.Therefore，the key is to keep your shower time as short as possible.
Environmental awareness is now part of daily life.But it’s worth checking common ideas and opinions to see what’s really green.
A.So say no to plastic bags.
B.Here are some common ones.
C.Unfortunately，it is not that simple.
D.Eating local food is good for the environment.
E.The process also produces more greenhouse gases.
F.It’s time that we should take some measures to protect our environment.
G.It depends on how long you spend in the shower and how large your bath is.
【语篇解读】 本文是议论文。文章讲述了一些常见的环保误区，揭示了真正的环保理念。
1.B [分析语境可知，设空句起到引出下文的作用。结合后文提到的一些环保常识误区可知，选项B中“some common ones”与后文提到的例子相呼应。]
2.E [根据前文可知，这里提及生产纸质购物袋的过程能源消耗大，是纸质购物袋的不环保之处，因此可推知，设空句应继续讲述其不环保之处。且选项E中“The process”与前文提及的生产过程相呼应，“also”与前文形成并列关系。]
3.D [设空句为该部分标题句，根据后文“It seems like common sense：eating local food should be better for the environment，because...”可推知，该部分的常识误区为“吃当地食物是环保的”。]
4.C [根据前文可知，这里提到了人们误认为吃当地的食物对环境更好的原因在于其不需要长途运输和冷藏，而后文提到了食物的不环保本质在于生产而不是运输过程，因此设空句作为中间句，应是一个转折句。]
5.G [后文讲到淋浴时间超过八分钟所用的水与泡澡一样多。而设空句作为该段首句，应引起下文，所以G项“关键在于你淋浴的时间和你的浴缸大小”符合语境。]

UNIT 3 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Clover，a three－year－old spirit bear，lives at the B.C. Wildlife Park near Kamloops，British Columbia，Canada.He lost his parents two years ago and was raised at a wildlife center.When he was set free into the wild，he broke into human camps looking for food.Wildlife experts (专家) tried to get him used to living on his own，but he continued to look for places where there were people.Finally the experts decided that he could not live in the wild.Since then，a total of $750，000 has been collected to create a habitat for Clover.
The habitat covers about three acres (英亩) of land and includes natural forest，two ponds connected by a small river and something else.It will add a platform and a walkway later this year so that people can see Clover and his habitat more closely.There will also be a center where people can learn more about spirit bears.Besides，a black bear will be moved into the habitat so Clover will not feel lonely.
Spirit bears are also called Kermode bears after Francis Kermode，who first studied them.Kermode discovered that a small number of black bears carry a gene (基因) for white fur.If a baby bear receives one of these genes from each parent，its fur will be a creamy white color.There are about 1，200 bears who carry the gene for white fur，but only about 200 white Kermode bears in the world.Kermode bears are found only in British Columbia.They live in the Great Bear Rainforest，an area that covers the mainland and islands along the coast of B.C.between Vancouver and Alaska.
【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了一只白灵熊在人类的帮助下即将搬进“新家”。
1.The habitat built for Clover ________.
A.will be open to visitors
B.will become a center for spirit bears
C.was created by Francis Kermode
D.will prepare him for life in the wild
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It will add a platform and a walkway...people can learn more about spirit bears.”可知，该栖息地将来有望对游客开放，让更多的人有机会接近并了解白灵熊。
√
2.What will Clover’s future life be like
A.Busy. B.Easy.
C.Hard. D.Lonely.

The Department of Energy(DOE) is dealing with a tough research problem that has troubled experts for more than a decade：developing a low－cost alternative to the present jet fuel.
The search began around 2010，originally pushed by the concerns about the country’s reliance on imported oil.More recently，airlines have raised the question themselves.There are potential restrictions on the amount of carbon dioxide from jet airliners and a lack of an electricity－fueled replacement for their heavy planes.
Researchers at DOE’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory(NREL) are taking a fresh look at a promising family of new and plentiful raw materials：food wastes and urban used water containing human manure (粪肥).
“Everyone is beginning to see the potential of taking these organic materials that we normally have sent to landfills or wastewater treatment plants，” said Derek Vardon，a senior research engineer at NREL.Manure and food wastes contain fatty acids that can be changed to link their chain－like structures together.The result is a liquid fuel，Vardon explained，one that has seven times the energy of methane—the major component of natural gas.That’s needed to get a heavy airliner off the ground.
Other researchers are also sensing the potential of rich and low－carbon resources that could be developed by working with wastewater treatment plants.One of them is Jianping Yu，the main researcher of a separate NREL project that is exploring how to remove major and troublesome water pollutants from conventional wastewater treatment processes.His idea is to feed the pollutants to algae (海藻) in the wastewater plants and then sell the algae as a product that can be made into commercial fertilizers (肥料).Yu’s idea is to collect and develop special algae，so they can remove as much as 50% of the pollutants
from processed wastewater.Growing more powerful algae，he points out，will also be a way to remove more CO2 from the air.The outcome is that it could reduce the amount of energy needed to run wastewater plants.“That’s the goal. Our main motivation is future environmental requirements，” Yu said.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章主要讲述了能源部专家与废水处理厂合作开发清洁航空燃料。
4.Why are the airlines anxious to find a new kind of jet fuel
A.Their planes are heavier than before.
B.They need to cut costs of electrical energy.
C.Their oil fuel harms the environment.
D.They want to rely less on imported oil.
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句可知，喷气式客机的二氧化碳排放量可能会受到限制，重型飞机也缺乏电力燃料替代品。由此可推知，航空公司急于寻找一种新的航空燃料是为了环保。
√
5.What can we learn about the liquid fuel according to Vardon
A.It has as much energy as natural gas.
B.It can be changed into fatty acids.
C.It’s born out of organic wastes.
D.It’s similar to natural gas in structure.
解析 推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知，根据Vardon的说法，液体燃料来自我们通常送往垃圾填埋场或废水处理厂的有机垃圾，例如粪便和食物垃圾，由此可知，根据Vardon的说法，液体燃料是从有机垃圾中产生的。
√
6.What role does algae play in Jianping Yu’s idea
A.Producing green fuel.
B.Cleaning processed wastewater.
C.Making commercial fertilizers.
D.Absorbing wastewater.

7.What does the text mainly tell us
A.Developing new fuel is quite necessary for airlines.
B.Researchers find a way of environmental protection.
C.Wastewater plants are a very useful source of new energy.

Greenhouse farming is carried out using greenhouses.These allow farmers to grow many different kinds of crops in climates that may not be hospitable.The development of greenhouse farming techniques has generally resulted in more overall food for the whole world.__1__.It’s also been helpful in allowing people to buy almost any fruit or vegetable at their local grocers，regardless of whether the food is out of season.
__2__.Farmers can create their greenhouses using materials that maximize the heat from the sun.Some farmers may also include heaters inside the greenhouses，which can be helpful in very cold climates.Other aspects of environmental controls，including careful adjustment of humidity (湿度)，are also often useful.
Another big plus for greenhouse farming is that it allows people to take advantage of vertical space.Many farmers will have plants sitting in shelves or hanging from the ceilings.__3__.
It’s very common for greenhouse farmers to use a technique called hydroponics (溶液栽培).This involves growing plants hung in liquid.Sometimes this liquid is simply water.__4__.This often allows plants to grow larger and more rapidly than they normally would，and it lets farmers maximize efficiency.
__5__.When farmers plant outdoors，they only require the money for seed，labor，and whatever additional costs associated with equipment or land.Greenhouse farming introduces a whole new set of expenses related to buildings and maintenance of those buildings.Farmers who have to artificially heat the inside of their greenhouses generally have even greater costs to deal with.
A.As a result，it’s well received
B.Temperature control seems rather complex
C.Besides，it helped to reduce world hunger problems
D.But usually it is put with very specialized nutrient mixes
E.The main disadvantages of greenhouse farming are generally related to cost
F.This sometimes allows the farmer to pack more plants in an acre than usual
G.Temperature control is usually the most important advantage of greenhouse farming
