Passage 1
(23-24高二下·山东青岛·期末)The moment Alok first saw the forest in central India, he knew two things 1 : This forest was the most beautiful one he had ever seen. Besides, he would stop the multi-billion dollar companies with an 2 to uproot it for the coal beneath its soil.
Back in 2012, the Hasdeo Aranya forest and its 657 bio-diversity rich square miles were 3 , due to its massive coal deposits totaling an estimated 5. 6 billion tons. To Alok, the forest known as the lungs of Chhattisgarh State and 4 to local humans, animals and plants, was 5 .
He wasn’t the only one to 6 this; local authorities had declared it protected earlier, but this was never a law to make it 7 . Soon, the coal in the forest were put up for auction (拍卖) .

(23-24高二下·新疆阿克苏·阶段练习)In 1994, the Brazilian photographer Salgado went back to his homeland in Minas Gerais, Brazil. He was 1 to see the land run by his family. The thick forest there was once a paradise (乐园) for him and his friends, bringing them 2 memories.
To his shock, he saw a totally different 3 . Only 0.5% of the land was covered with trees. “The land was as sick as a serious patient — everything was 4 due to deforestation (乱砍滥伐).” Salgado said 5 during a meeting on climate change in Paris.
Salgado 6 that he should do something for it. Then he 7 an idea of replanting trees on the land, though beyond expectations, received 8 from his wife and relatives. Soon the whole family 9 and the results are excellent.

Passage 6
(23-24高二下·山西长治·期末)When I started my Ph. D., I knew my work was producing much waste, but I took it for granted. That all 1 one day when I saw plastic waste piled against the wall.
I went to my adviser and decided to create 3D-printed lab 2 out of our waste. But the project didn’t go smoothly. After months of 3 , I felt worried about my dream.
It was a relief when my colleagues were 4 to join us. We created a group devoted to 5 other greener ways. We began meeting every month to discuss some 6 . We introduced new recycling bins to each lab after learning that some waste could be recycled if it was sorted 7 . And we also tracked the energy consumption of lab equipment. By doing these, we could create 8 on how to use each device.
Our most energy-hungry devices were the ultra-low-temperature freezers, each of which consumed more energy than a typical household. So, we started an institutewide (全院的) freezer 9 , asking labs to remove samples that were not 10 anymore and combine what remained in fewer freezers. Through those efforts, we managed to turn off several freezers. We also 11 the temperature of several freezers after realizing some samples didn’t have to be stored so 12 .
I’m still disappointed that I couldn’t 13 my 3D-printing dream, and I’m determined enough to keep trying. I’ve also learned that if one 14 isn’t working, sometimes it’s best to take a step back and look for other solutions. I’m 15 that with my colleagues’ help, we were able to do that.

Passage 7
(23-24高二下·江苏·阶段练习)I’ve never been much of a jogger, but might I make a decent plogger “Plogging” is a(n) 1 of “plocka upp” with “jogga”, the Swedish for “pick up” and “jog”. The idea is that you 2 litter while out running and the 3 has been growing in popularity in Sweden.
“It’s good for both the 4 and ourselves,” says Anna Christopherson, the 43-year-old Swede who runs Edinburgh’s first plogging group. “It’s very 5 for the body to combine running with squatting (蹲下) to lift rubbish.”
Seven of us 6 in the city for the run. We rush up Leith Walk, our rubbish bags 7 in the evening wind. “Quite competitive, isn’t it ” says Struan, an accountant. He 8 to a bin, muscles bulging (鼓起), to pick up a leaflet.
Within 10 minutes, our bags are filling up. It’s amazing — and 9 — to see how much 10 is lying on the streets. A passing walking tour gives us some 11 looks, but we ploggers, lost in a world of plogging, carry on 12 .
After an hour, I’m tired and 13 , but feeling good. The city is a little 14 thanks to these ploggers. Anna is not satisfied, though. Our 15 have made no difference to her pet hate: chewing gum (口香糖) stuck to the paths. “You need a steamer to get that off,” she says. “And I’m not going to run with a steamer any time soon.”

Passage 8
(23-24高二下·福建厦门·阶段练习)Many of the world’s islands were previously unexplored places, but over time, people have come to these places with far-reaching effects, including deforestation, over-hunting and the introduction of invasive species. 1 , most of the bird species disappeared.
While the death of many birds since the 1500s has been 2 , our knowledge of the fate of species before this relies on fossils, and these records are limited because birds’ lightweight bones are 3 over time. This conceals (隐瞒) the true 4 of global extinctions.
Researchers now believe 1,430 bird species — almost 12 per cent — have died out over modern human history since around 130,000 years ago, with the vast majority of them becoming extinct directly or indirectly 5 human activity.
The study, led by the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) and published in Nature Communications, used statistical modelling to 6 the undiscovered bird extinctions.
Lead author Dr Rob Cooke, an ecological modeler at UKCEH, says: “Our study demonstrates there has been a far higher 7 impact on diversity than previously recognized. Humans quickly destroyed bird populations through habitat loss, over-exploitation, and the introduction of rats, pigs, and dogs, which attacked the birds’ nests, and 8 with birds for food. We show that many species became extinct before written records and left no 9 , lost from history.”
Dr Soren Faurby of the University of Gothenburg, a co-author of the study, adds: “These historic extinctions have had a major impact on the current biodiversity crisis. The world may not only have lost many fascinating birds but also their varied 10 roles, which are likely to have included key functions such as pollination (授粉). This will have had knock-on effects on ecosystems, so, 11 bird extinctions, we will have lost a lot of plants and animals that 12 these species for survival.”
Observations and fossils show 640 bird species have been driven extinct — 90 per cent of these on islands 13 by people. These 14 from the iconic Dodo of Mauritius to the Great Auk of the North Atlantic to the lesser-known Saint Helena Giant Hoopoe. But the researchers estimate there have been further 790 unknown extinctions, meaning a total of 1,430 lost species — leaving just under 11,000 today. Therefore, from the perspective of protecting species 15 , the protection of birds is an urgent issue for mankind.

Passage 9
(23-24高二下·四川·期末)Sargassum is the smelly seaweed piling up on beaches across the Caribbean. It isn’t something most people 1 kindly. But for Omar de Vazquez, a gardener, it was something like a(an) 2 .
Years ago, as part of his gardening business, Omar launched a beach cleanup service to 3 the leafy seaweed. But, as its 4 intensified (增多,加剧), he started considering how to turn it into something useful, and in 2018 he 5 a way to use it in building blocks. He started his company — SargaBlock to market the bricks which are being 6 by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) as a sustainable solution to a current environmental problem.
“When I look at SargaBlock, it’s like looking in a 7 ,” he says, comparing his company to overcoming his personal 8 , including drug and alcohol addiction. “That was a time when I felt unwanted and 9 , like the sargassum people complained about.”
Luckily, Omar grew up in nature and poverty, which 10 his character and turned him into someone who takes action. He wanted to make something good out of something everyone saw as bad. Omar then put his idea into 11 , mixing 40% sargassum with other organic materials, like clay, which he then puts into a block-forming machine. The process was 12 .
The UNDP selected Omar’s work for their Accelerator Lab, which 13 and recognizes innovative solutions to environmental challenges globally. The idea is that some of the most timely and creative 14 come from locals suffering from environmental dilemmas 15 .

Passage 10
(23-24高二下·上海宝山·期末)Methane (甲烷) is a greenhouse gas. Over 20 years it has over 80 times the planet-cooking power of carbon dioxide, and is 1 for nearly 45%of warming today. Because methane is the main 2 of natural gas, much of man-made emissions comes from the energy industry. Yet because it is short-lived, controlling methane offers the world its best possible chance for 3 progress against climate change.
As COP28, the UN’s climate summit, gets 4 in Dubai, it is greatly encouraging, therefore, that the chances of such a deal on methane are good. Negotiators must 5 at a rare opportunity to strike one.
The reason a deal looks possible is that the politics are promising in all the biggest markets. China has recently announced that it will start including methane in its national climate plans. America will soon finalize regulations to 6 methane emissions from its huge oil and gas sector, including measures that cover leaky pipelines and storage. And the European Union has also agreed on tough methane standards, covering both domestic sources and 7 fossil fuels.
8 are helping, too. A range of new technologies for monitoring methane will help 9 large sources of emissions from the energy industry. Because oil and gas firms can often sell methane (rather than wastefully burning or releasing it), many investment s to avoid 10 will pay for themselves. Most firms do not invest because of the trouble, higher returns on other projects, or wells’ distance from consumers. Whatever the reason, they suffer no 11 for adding needlessly to global warming.
Since green-washing, the process of conveying a false impression about how some products or measures are environmentally sound, is quite common, if a global methane deal is to be more than that, 12 , it will need rigour (缜密). Methane-control seemed to 13 at the UN climate summit in Glasgow two years ago, when negotiators 14 came up with a proposal to cut emissions by 30% by 2030.Yet the deal was voluntary, and had no enforcement mechanisms (机制); emissions have since 15 . An agreement this time round must link promises to national climate plans and, crucially, to domestic enforcement mechanisms.

Passage 11
(23-24高二下·江苏盐城·阶段练习)As the sweet smell of pears and apples spreads in the air, drawing a stream of visitors to the orchard (果园) in Karamay’s Baijiantan district, an elderly man is seen doing the rounds of it on an electric bike. Sometimes, he stops to water the trees or prune (修剪) the grass, determined to ensure every single tree reaches its full 1 .
The 2 of this forest was once a dump (垃圾场). It was the man, Wang Yanming, who planted the trees many years ago, creating the shade visitors can now all enjoy on hot summer afternoons. Wang oversees the greening work, planting trees and flowers, and often helps people to remove 3 from the dump.
“In 4 days, strong wind turn sand particles and tiny rocks into arrows that 5 our hands and faces. I 6 wanted to do something to improve the situation,” Wang tells China Daily.

Passage 12
(23-24高二下·安徽阜阳·期末)Trends come and go. Many goods that people buy to 1 fashion end up in the rubbish bin. Now young American people are giving these things a second 2 .
Called “Stoopers (旧物猎人)”, they pick up idle (闲置的) goods and 3 them. They are mainly in big cities like New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.
Anne Brown, 27, is one of them. Anne first stooped in June 2022 when many residents in a community left their 4 on the street after they moved house. After that, she often “ 5 treasures” in her free time. Now her small apartment holds things redesigned from the idle goods she collected, including tables, chairs and clothing.
“Though many people say stooping is like collecting 6 , for me, it’s making the best of things,” the 27-year-old digital marketer said. That’s why she wanted to 7 the trend to others.

I phoned around to ask what I could 1 this koala, but no one wanted to know. I ended up 2 the koala out of my tree and we crossed the road 3 for him to return to the nature reserve.
I’ve always been befriending animals. As a young kid I used to pick up lizard eggs and 4 them. It stimulated my interest as to why there wasn’t anyone wanting to come and 5 this koala in my tree. After that, I signed up for all the 6 I could find.

Hearing these stories, I’m 3 about the place — other destinations are described as “purer” natural experiences.

It ends abruptly at 3, 000 meters, 9 lands of low growing plants. Further up, the weather 10 — low clouds envelope the mountainsides, which are covered with thick grass. I 11 twelve shades of green from where I stand. Above 4, 000 meters is the highland 12 : gravel (砾石), stones and rocks. 13 you climb into an arctic-like zone with 14 snow and the glaciers that may soon disappear.

Passage 8
(23-24高二下·福建厦门·阶段练习)Many of the world’s islands were previously unexplored places, but over time, people have come to these places with far-reaching effects, including deforestation, over-hunting and the introduction of invasive species. 1 , most of the bird species disappeared.
While the death of many birds since the 1500s has been 2 , our knowledge of the fate of species before this relies on fossils, and these records are limited because birds’ lightweight bones are 3 over time. This conceals (隐瞒) the true 4 of global extinctions.
Researchers now believe 1,430 bird species — almost 12 per cent — have died out over modern human history since around 130,000 years ago, with the vast majority of them becoming extinct directly or indirectly 5 human activity.
The study, led by the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) and published in Nature Communications, used statistical modelling to 6 the undiscovered bird extinctions.
Lead author Dr Rob Cooke, an ecological modeler at UKCEH, says: “Our study demonstrates there has been a far higher 7 impact on diversity than previously recognized. Humans quickly destroyed bird populations through habitat loss, over-exploitation, and the introduction of rats, pigs, and dogs, which attacked the birds’ nests, and 8 with birds for food. We show that many species became extinct before written records and left no 9 , lost from history.”
Dr Soren Faurby of the University of Gothenburg, a co-author of the study, adds: “These historic extinctions have had a major impact on the current biodiversity crisis. The world may not only have lost many fascinating birds but also their varied 10 roles, which are likely to have included key functions such as pollination (授粉). This will have had knock-on effects on ecosystems, so, 11 bird extinctions, we will have lost a lot of plants and animals that 12 these species for survival.”
Observations and fossils show 640 bird species have been driven extinct — 90 per cent of these on islands 13 by people. These 14 from the iconic Dodo of Mauritius to the Great Auk of the North Atlantic to the lesser-known Saint Helena Giant Hoopoe. But the researchers estimate there have been further 790 unknown extinctions, meaning a total of 1,430 lost species — leaving just under 11,000 today. Therefore, from the perspective of protecting species 15 , the protection of birds is an urgent issue for mankind.
1. A.In other words B.On average C.As a consequence D.In short
