My best friend Bill is always trying to find out ways to give the environment a helping hand. One day, Bill brought some green cakes to school. At lunch, he shared his cakes with us. “Delicious!” “Wonderful!” Everyone liked the cakes and wanted to know how he made them.
The story goes back a few weeks. Bill’s family like fruit very much. His father loves watermelons. He eats a lot of them in summer. They always throw away (扔掉) the skins.
After seeing the cleaner working hard to pick up the heavy rubbish pail (垃圾桶), Bill said, “There must be a good way to use all the watermelon skins.”
After a lot of thinking, he decided to make something with the skins. First, he made the skins into juice. Then he carefully made his delicious GREEN cakes.
Once he tasted the cake, he knew his cakes were a great by-product (副产品) of the watermelon eating. And it was environment friendly too.
From now on, he doesn’t need to worry about the heavy waste (浪费) from eating watermelons. And everyone always wants more of his special cakes.

On March 22nd, many schools celebrate World Water Day. Students learn why water is important. Only 1% of the Earth’s water is safe to drink. Teachers show videos about dry places where people walk far to get water. They teach easy ways to save water:
● Turn off taps when brushing teeth (This saves 8 liters a day!).
● Fix broken pipes quickly.
Students make posters with words like “Save Water!” and draw pictures of reusing washing water for plants. They also play a game to guess how much water daily activities use. For example, a 10-minute shower uses 100 liters! The winner gets a special water bottle. Now, students always check taps at home.
6．How much water can we drink on Earth

Climate change is the biggest threat to our planet. As temperatures increase, the ice caps and glaciers (冰川) around the world are starting to melt (融化), meaning sea levels will get higher. We are already seeing the results of climate change with an increase in extreme weather events such as hurricanes (飓风) and wildfires and serious shortages of water. All over the world there are people living in difficult conditions. But difficult conditions often inspire creative solutions. Every year the Philippines are hit by typhoons. These violent storms often kill hundreds of people and cause damage to the islands. One company has come up with a house that stands up to the strongest of winds. The houses built in a dome (穹顶) shape and the curved surfaces are much better at surviving in storms than traditional flat roofs and walls. They are also better at surviving earthquakes.
Wildfires often cause destruction in many places around the world. In 2015, bush fires burned down plants in South Australia. This made the land difficult to farm as strong winds blew the soil away. A farmer called Brian Fischer had a brilliant idea. He ploughed (耕) the fields in spirals (螺旋形). This means that it doesn’t matter which way the wind blows because it can never blow away the soil.
A lack of water is also a serious problem. In the Himalayan Desert, water is difficult to find in spring. The Ice Stupa project has come up with a clever solution. In winter, a pipe (管道) takes water from higher up in the mountains down to the desert, where it rushes out as a fountain (喷泉). Because it is so cold in the desert, the water freeze sand makes frozen towers of ice. In spring, the ice melts giving the farmers the water they need for their land.
11．Paragraph 1 mainly focuses on ________.
A．what solution people came up with B．what the topic of the passage is
C．how people change the climate D．how much energy has been put into
12．The underlined word “They” refers to ________.
A．houses that are designed to stand up to winds
B．violent storms that kill hundreds of people
C．the companies that built houses in a round shape
D．the Philippines that are hit by typhoons
13．Which of the following extreme weather are mentioned in the passage
① typhoon ② heavy rain ③ hurricanes ④ wildfires ⑤ thunder
A．①③④ B．①③⑤ C．②③④ D．②④⑤
14．What is NOT needed to deal with the lack of water
A．The ice melt in spring to provide the water.
B．The frozen ice towers can store water.
C．A pipe takes water from higher up in the mountain.
D．A fountain is built to carry the falling water.
15．The writer mainly wants to ________.
A．remind people to save water B．find results of serious problems
C．suggest causes of difficult conditions D．inspire readers to create solutions
Governments around the world are pushing for an end to plastic straws (吸管) and bags. More and more businesses are changing to paper products. Using paper is considered to be better than plastic. However, it is harmful to the environment, too.
Firstly, paper bags and straws are made from trees. Trees, as you know, are good for the environment. They can slow down climate (气候) change. An increase in the use of paper bags need to cut down more trees.
Secondly, the production of paper things requires more energy and water. About 10 percent more energy and four times as much water is used to produce a paper bag than a plastic one. You might say that we can use recycled paper to save that energy and water. This seems to be a good idea. However, it takes even more energy and water to go through the recycling process than to make a newspaper bag. Products made from recycled paper are also often short-lived.
Furthermore, paper products are heavier than plastic ones. That means they require more fuel (燃料) to transport. Seven trucks are needed to transport two million paper bags, while only one truck is needed to transport the same number of plastic bags. The increased weight also leads to a larger amount of waste once the bags are thrown away.
Paper products are actually a lose-lose for both the environment and businesses. They are more expensive than plastic products. A paper straw costs about 5 to 12 cents, while a plastic one usually costs only about 2 cents.
The most environment-friendly way is to avoid single-use things altogether. Products like glass water bottles and steel straws can be used over and over again. They are much better than either paper products or plastic products. By increasing the use of these items, you can greatly reduce your throwaway waste and truly make our earth a greener place!
16．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A．Using plastic straws. B．Using plastic bags.
C．Using paper products. D．Using single-use things.
17．What does the writer think of the recycled paper
A．It saves energy and water. B．It seems not to be a good idea.
C．It is better than single-use paper. D．It’s easy to make by recycling process.
18．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true
A．It is believed that paper products are better than plastic products.
B．Avoiding single-use things is the most useful for environmental protection.
C．The transportation of plastic products costs more than that of paper products.
D．The production of paper bags and straws will cut down a large number of trees.
19．What is the writer’s main purpose of writing this passage
A．To introduce the disadvantages of paper products.
B．To compare paper products with plastic products.
C．To explain why paper products are bad for the environment.
D．To call on people to use products in an environment-friendly way.
20．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage
A． B． C． D．
Two thousand years ago, Britain was covered by thick forests, home to many animals like wolves, bears, many different kinds of deer and large wild cows, but now they no longer live in the UK. There were less than 4 million people. They lived in small villages. Wooden walls protected them from the animals outside.
But now, it is a small country with a big population — over 67 million people live there. Three-quarters of Britain includes fields, towns or cities. Although 25% of land is countryside, modern ways of farming mean that there are fewer birds and small animals than ever before. If you travel, most of the time you’ll be looking at towns and cities. There are very few wild animals. Only a few countries in the world do not have a large wild animal that eats meat. The UK is one of them. Only 400 of Britain’s wildcats still live in the forests of Scotland. Even in the countryside, there are few wild birds or small animals living there.
Some people would like to change things. They say that Britain needs to become more natural again. They would like to plant trees that once grew in Britain and help wild animals such as bears and wolves to return. They call this “rewilding”.
Not everyone agrees. What will happen if the wild animals left their new homes to kill sheep or even hurt people Would people still be able to go walking in the mountains or would it be too dangerous Some people hope to see rewilding happen in Britain, but others are quite worried.
21．So far, the population of the UK has increased by ________
A．Over 63 million. B．About 400 million.
C．More than 67 million. D．Not more than 4 million.
22．What caused fewer birds and small animals in this area
A．Too much hunting. B．Even worse pollution.
C．More large wild animals. D．New methods of farming.
23．What does the underlined word “rewilding” probably mean in the passage
A．Protecting wild animals. B．Helping large animals live better.
C．Planting more green plants. D．Returning wild animals to nature.
24．What does the writer think of “rewilding”
A．Agrees. B．Disagrees. C．Doesn’t mention. D．Doesn’t care.
25．Which of the following can be the best title
A．Protecting the environment B．Wolves Returning to the UK
C．Making the UK Wild again D．Saving Wildlife in Britain
Ben’s family is always trying to think of ways to give the environment a helping hand. What did they do this time Well, it started simply enough.

The Arctic and Antarctica (南极) are wild places on the earth. Scientists study them to know about the history of the earth and the change of weather. They’re both super cold, but what else do you know about them
First, the Arctic is in the north, while the Antarctica sits in the south. Imagine a big ball with snow and ice at both ends—that’s what our earth looks like!
There isn’t just snow or ice. They have beautiful views (风景) and some special animals, too. You might think polar bears and penguins (企鹅) live together. No! Polar bears live in the Arctic, while penguins live in the Antarctica. But you can see seals and fish around both places. Are there people around these places About 4,000,000 people live near the Arctic, but no one lives in the Antarctica all year round!
Now here comes a surprise. A few parts of the Arctic and most of the Antarctica get almost no rain, so they are among the driest (最干燥的) places on the earth. The Antarctica is the world’s largest desert (沙漠)! Yes, a desert with snow and ice!
However, the ice is melting (融化) these years. How can we take care of these amazing places Get more information on the Internet. Maybe you’ll find your ways to help.

Nowadays the pollution of the sea is becoming an increasingly serious problem. How can we reduce the pollution in the sea and make the underwater environment better Scientists in Norway have created an underwater robot, which can help a lot.
The robot is 45 kg in weight and uses special cameras to get 3D images (图像). It can discover different kinds of pollution at the bottom of the sea. It will help clean-up teams find the areas where there is rubbish and then they can spend most of their time and money removing (清除) the most harmful materials.
The researchers put their work to the test in a bay (海湾) in the city of Bergen. First, the robot swam up and down two meters above the seabed, collecting information. Then a computer turned the information into a map, which showed different rubbish materials in different colors. Thousands of objects were discovered in the bay, including bottles, metals, plastics, etc. “Bergen is a place where different industries come together, and the city is quite old, so there’s a huge amount of rubbish,” said Trygve Olav Fossum, one of the researchers. “We think the rubbish in the bay weighs 150 tons to 300 tons.” It is not always possible to remove everything. Some things are more harmful, so it’s more important to clear them from the sea.
“Glass isn’t really polluting the sea,” said Fossum. “So if you know there’s an area with a lot of glass, you don’t need to worry much about that and you can pay more attention to the things that are putting heavy metals into the environment.” The maps will be used to help the clean-up teams locate (定位) the most harmful materials so that they can remove them first.
Thanks to the development of the science and technology, the underwater environment can be improved a lot. As well as helping to deal with pollution, the robot can also show where creatures like starfish are on the seabed.

Human activity is changing the surface and temperature of our planet. But new research shows it is also changing the sound of oceans and seas. Scientists say these changes affect (影响) many sea animals—from very small fish to huge whales.
Sound travels very far underwater. For fish, sound is a better way to sense their environment than light. They use sounds to communicate with each other. Sounds also help some ocean animals find food and avoid their hunters. Sounds help fish and other sea animals survive (生存).
However, increased noise from humans is making it harder for these animals to hear each other. The noise comes from shipping traffic, underwater oil and gas exploration, and other noisy human activity. For many sea animals, their efforts to communicate are being masked (被掩盖) by sounds that humans have introduced. Experts explain the term masking, which happens when one or more noises in the water block sound important to an ocean animal’s life.
The Red Sea is one of the world’s most important shipping passages. It is full of large ships traveling to Asia, Europe, and Africa. Some fish and other animals now avoid the noisiest areas. Also, the overall number of sea animals has gone down by about half since 1970. In some parts of the ocean, scientists now record fewer animals singing and calling than in the past.
Experts say that effects of noise on sea animals are not well understood. However, some studies suggest that noise may cause hearing loss. The stress from human noise might also affect the immune (免疫) system—an animal’s natural defense system. Many sea animals are showing higher levels of stress because of noise.
When people think of threats (威胁) facing the ocean, we often think of climate change, plastics, and overfishing. But noise pollution is another necessary thing we need to be monitoring. When it comes to something humans can do for the ocean, we need to think about how to make it quieter. Sound pollution may be easier to deal with than other ocean threats. You can reduce or turn off sound immediately. It’s not like plastics or climate change, which are much harder to undo.
41．According to the passage, sounds can help sea animals in many ways except ________.
A．blocking the sunshine outside B．searching for something to eat
C．getting away from their hunters D．communicating with each other
42．What can you know from the passage

B．Plastic pollution is the biggest threat facing oceans and seas.
C．Fish sense their environment better through light than sound.
D．The Red Sea is one of the most popular fishing areas in the world.
43．What is the purpose of Paragraph 4
A．To introduce the Red Sea. B．To support the experts’ idea above.
C．To explain the importance of the Red Sea. D．To show the increase of sea animals.
44．The underlined words “to undo” in Paragraph 6 probably mean “________”.
A．to involve the effort B．to promise the result
C．to cancel the effects D．to forget the influences
45．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A．Why Are Ocean Animals So Noisy B．Helpful Ways to Save Ocean Animals.
C．Humans Are Making Oceans Too Noisy. D．Which Threat to Oceans Is the Biggest
Many people love animals, but only a few really work hard to care for and protect them. British zoologist Jane Goodall is such an example.
Born in 1934, Goodall had a natural love for animals as a child. At 10, she read Tarzan of the ages (《人猿泰山》) for the first time while up in a tree. This made her fall in love with the wonderful land of Africa, dreaming of studying the chimpanzee (黑猩猩) there.
At 26, Goodall finally made it to Tanzania and walked into the little-known world of wild chimpanzee. At first, Goodall got sick from the weather and bug bates there. Also, the chimps didn’t trust her and were very wary, trying to keep away from this stranger. Still she tried to get over these problems. She watched them quietly and patiently from far away. After months of long and hard work, the chimps got used to her being around.
Later, Goodall found something that surprised the world — chimps make and use tools (工具)! Before this, people thought only humans could do such things. Goodall also found that chimps have their own social relationships. For example, they may decide leaders and followers, just like humans. Moreover, some chimps were shy and some were outgoing. Sometimes, Goodall even saw chimps fighting with each other.
Besides studying chimps, she also started a group called the Jane Goodall Institute to protect (保护) them. The group does many things like protecting forests, stopping hunting, and teaching local people how to care for chimps.
Today, the 90-year-old woman still travels around the world, speaking about the dangers chimpanzee are facing and other environmental problems.
46．What started Goodall’s interest in chimpanzee
A．The book she read as a child. B．A film named Tarzan of the ages.
C．Her love for nature and animals. D．Her early experiences with animals.
47．The underlined word “wary” is close to ________
A．angry B．friendly C．careful D．excited
48．It’s clear that Goodall ________
A．won fame and got lots of prices B．failed to make the chimpanzee accept her
C．found chimpanzee are the same as humans D．helped people understand chimpanzee better
49．Why does Goodall still travel around the world today
A．To call on people to protect the earth. B．To collect more information for her study.
C．To experience different cultures in the world.
D．To study other wild animals instead of chimps.
50．What would be the best title for the passage
A．The Life of Jane Goodall B．Jane Goodall and Her chimpanzee
C．The Action of Saving Animals D．chimpanzee and Their World
On November 13, 2023, people across Kenya (肯尼亚) took part in their first national tree-planting holiday. The holiday was created to encourage people to plant trees.
Kenya is famous for its beautiful forests and wildlife. But large areas of Kenya’s forests have been cut down, either for the wood or for farming. So there is less and less land covered by forests in Kenya. The government has a goal (目标) of planting 15 billion trees by 2032 to cover 30% of its land with trees.
In early November, the government announced (宣布) National Tree Growing Day would fall on November 13. To prepare for the day, the government got 150 million young trees ready for planting. The government also created a special app to help organize the tree planting. The app helps people collect young trees, find places to plant, and record their efforts. It also helps the government find out how many trees have been planted in different areas around the country.
On that day, people all over Kenya turned out (出现) in large numbers to take part in the holiday. In the capital, hundreds of people joined in, even though it was raining. Workers, students, families and other groups showed up to take part.
51．Why did Kenya create the tree-planting holiday
A．To help people relax. B．To tell people to develop farming.
C．To encourage people to plant trees. D．To make people enjoy its beautiful forests.
52．Why is there less and less land covered by forests in Kenya
A．Because wildlife needs the land. B．Because there are fewer farmers.
C．Because the rainwater takes away the land. D．Because people cut down the forests for a living.
53．How many trees does the Kenyan government want to plant by 2032
A．15 billion. B．15 million. C．30 billion. D．150 million.
54．What do we know about the special app in Paragraph 3
A．It is created to record the weather. B．It helps people to collect young trees.
C．It shows the number of trees in only one area. D．It tells people the importance of the government.
55．What was Kenyan people’s opinion about the national tree-planting holiday
A．They refused to join in it. B．They thought it was too boring.
C．They made no effort to celebrate it. D．They showed up and took part in it.
People today are familiar with words, such as “going eco-friendly” and “sustainable lifestyle (可持续生活方式)”. Many people join “The Green Movement” and take nature-friendly lifestyles. However, there’s still a group of people who believe that going eco-friendly is only a short-term fashion and it isn’t going to last long.
Many environmental organisations can prove that going eco-friendly is not only a fashion that lasts for a few months but a trend (趋势). These organisations pay close attention to different green causes and hold activities to increase people’s awareness on environmental problems.
The use of sustainable products like bamboo straws and electric cars is another evidence to show going eco-friendly isn’t a show. The customers are willing to buy such products, and more and more companies invest (投资) money in the production. Starbucks gives their customers discounts if they bring their own bottles for drinks. The efforts that are made by companies and customers show a change in the attitudes of people towards taking a sustainable lifestyle.
Meanwhile, some other people hold the view that people who take eco-friendly methods just want to improve their own image. They won’t keep the lifestyle for a long time. For example, some people post videos on the Internet and pretend they live in a zero-waste life. However, going eco-friendly isn’t a kind of fashion or a way to get others’ attention. For those who follow their zero-waste lifestyles over years, it’s about a promise that can only come with a true change in attitudes towards caring for the earth.
What’s worse, some customers go eco-friendly only because they think it’s popular. Today, buying recycled clothes is highly encouraged. It’s common to walk past the shops that claim to sell clothing made from recycled materials. However, many companies use only a small number of recycled materials, as low as 1%, to make their “eco-friendly” clothes. A lot of customers are cheated by the advertisements of such big companies. All of these suggest that going eco-friendly is all about looking the part, and nothing more.
The call to save the earth seems to remain for a while. It’s hoped that all the efforts for environmental protection will go a long way so that our future generations can have a better living environment.
56．What might be the structure of the passage
A． B． C． D．
57．What can people do to have a sustainable lifestyle
A．Change the attitude towards the fast food.
B．Collect evidence about going eco-friendly.
C．Take their own bottles when they buy drinks.
D．Record daily lives and post videos on the Internet.
58．What does the writer mean by the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5
A．Customers need to learn more ways of going eco-friendly.
B．People have to change the attitudes towards recycled clothes.
C．Some people don’t take going eco-friendly as a long-term lifestyle.
D．More activities should be held by big companies to save the world.
59．Which of the following can best express the message (启示) of the passage
A．Solve different problems in different ways.
B．Protecting the nature is protecting ourselves.
C．Be careful of the information from the media.
D．Saving the earth needs every effort all the time.

一、阅读理解
My best friend Bill is always trying to find out ways to give the environment a helping hand. One day, Bill brought some green cakes to school. At lunch, he shared his cakes with us. “Delicious!” “Wonderful!” Everyone liked the cakes and wanted to know how he made them.
The story goes back a few weeks. Bill’s family like fruit very much. His father loves watermelons. He eats a lot of them in summer. They always throw away (扔掉) the skins.
After seeing the cleaner working hard to pick up the heavy rubbish pail (垃圾桶), Bill said, “There must be a good way to use all the watermelon skins.”
After a lot of thinking, he decided to make something with the skins. First, he made the skins into juice. Then he carefully made his delicious GREEN cakes.
Once he tasted the cake, he knew his cakes were a great by-product (副产品) of the watermelon eating. And it was environment friendly too.
From now on, he doesn’t need to worry about the heavy waste (浪费) from eating watermelons. And everyone always wants more of his special cakes.

On March 22nd, many schools celebrate World Water Day. Students learn why water is important. Only 1% of the Earth’s water is safe to drink. Teachers show videos about dry places where people walk far to get water. They teach easy ways to save water:
● Turn off taps when brushing teeth (This saves 8 liters a day!).
● Fix broken pipes quickly.
Students make posters with words like “Save Water!” and draw pictures of reusing washing water for plants. They also play a game to guess how much water daily activities use. For example, a 10-minute shower uses 100 liters! The winner gets a special water bottle. Now, students always check taps at home.

Climate change is the biggest threat to our planet. As temperatures increase, the ice caps and glaciers (冰川) around the world are starting to melt (融化), meaning sea levels will get higher. We are already seeing the results of climate change with an increase in extreme weather events such as hurricanes (飓风) and wildfires and serious shortages of water. All over the world there are people living in difficult conditions. But difficult conditions often inspire creative solutions. Every year the Philippines are hit by typhoons. These violent storms often kill hundreds of people and cause damage to the islands. One company has come up with a house that stands up to the strongest of winds. The houses built in a dome (穹顶) shape and the curved surfaces are much better at surviving in storms than traditional flat roofs and walls. They are also better at surviving earthquakes.
Wildfires often cause destruction in many places around the world. In 2015, bush fires burned down plants in South Australia. This made the land difficult to farm as strong winds blew the soil away. A farmer called Brian Fischer had a brilliant idea. He ploughed (耕) the fields in spirals (螺旋形). This means that it doesn’t matter which way the wind blows because it can never blow away the soil.
A lack of water is also a serious problem. In the Himalayan Desert, water is difficult to find in spring. The Ice Stupa project has come up with a clever solution. In winter, a pipe (管道) takes water from higher up in the mountains down to the desert, where it rushes out as a fountain (喷泉). Because it is so cold in the desert, the water freeze sand makes frozen towers of ice. In spring, the ice melts giving the farmers the water they need for their land.
11．Paragraph 1 mainly focuses on ________.
A．what solution people came up with B．what the topic of the passage is
C．how people change the climate D．how much energy has been put into
12．The underlined word “They” refers to ________.

Governments around the world are pushing for an end to plastic straws (吸管) and bags. More and more businesses are changing to paper products. Using paper is considered to be better than plastic. However, it is harmful to the environment, too.
Firstly, paper bags and straws are made from trees. Trees, as you know, are good for the environment. They can slow down climate (气候) change. An increase in the use of paper bags need to cut down more trees.
Secondly, the production of paper things requires more energy and water. About 10 percent more energy and four times as much water is used to produce a paper bag than a plastic one. You might say that we can use recycled paper to save that energy and water. This seems to be a good idea. However, it takes even more energy and water to go through the recycling process than to make a newspaper bag. Products made from recycled paper are also often short-lived.
Furthermore, paper products are heavier than plastic ones. That means they require more fuel (燃料) to transport. Seven trucks are needed to transport two million paper bags, while only one truck is needed to transport the same number of plastic bags. The increased weight also leads to a larger amount of waste once the bags are thrown away.
Paper products are actually a lose-lose for both the environment and businesses. They are more expensive than plastic products. A paper straw costs about 5 to 12 cents, while a plastic one usually costs only about 2 cents.
The most environment-friendly way is to avoid single-use things altogether. Products like glass water bottles and steel straws can be used over and over again. They are much better than either paper products or plastic products. By increasing the use of these items, you can greatly reduce your throwaway waste and truly make our earth a greener place!
16．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A．Using plastic straws. B．Using plastic bags.
C．Using paper products. D．Using single-use things.
17．What does the writer think of the recycled paper
A．It saves energy and water. B．It seems not to be a good idea.
C．It is better than single-use paper. D．It’s easy to make by recycling process.
18．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true
A．It is believed that paper products are better than plastic products.
B．Avoiding single-use things is the most useful for environmental protection.
C．The transportation of plastic products costs more than that of paper products.
D．The production of paper bags and straws will cut down a large number of trees.
19．What is the writer’s main purpose of writing this passage
A．To introduce the disadvantages of paper products.
B．To compare paper products with plastic products.
C．To explain why paper products are bad for the environment.
D．To call on people to use products in an environment-friendly way.
20．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage
A． B． C． D．
Two thousand years ago, Britain was covered by thick forests, home to many animals like wolves, bears, many different kinds of deer and large wild cows, but now they no longer live in the UK. There were less than 4 million people. They lived in small villages. Wooden walls protected them from the animals outside.
But now, it is a small country with a big population — over 67 million people live there. Three-quarters of Britain includes fields, towns or cities. Although 25% of land is countryside, modern ways of farming mean that there are fewer birds and small animals than ever before. If you travel, most of the time you’ll be looking at towns and cities. There are very few wild animals. Only a few countries in the world do not have a large wild animal that eats meat. The UK is one of them. Only 400 of Britain’s wildcats still live in the forests of Scotland. Even in the countryside, there are few wild birds or small animals living there.
Some people would like to change things. They say that Britain needs to become more natural again. They would like to plant trees that once grew in Britain and help wild animals such as bears and wolves to return. They call this “rewilding”.
Not everyone agrees. What will happen if the wild animals left their new homes to kill sheep or even hurt people Would people still be able to go walking in the mountains or would it be too dangerous Some people hope to see rewilding happen in Britain, but others are quite worried.
21．So far, the population of the UK has increased by ________
A．Over 63 million. B．About 400 million.
C．More than 67 million. D．Not more than 4 million.
22．What caused fewer birds and small animals in this area
A．Too much hunting. B．Even worse pollution.
C．More large wild animals. D．New methods of farming.
23．What does the underlined word “rewilding” probably mean in the passage
A．Protecting wild animals. B．Helping large animals live better.
C．Planting more green plants. D．Returning wild animals to nature.
24．What does the writer think of “rewilding”
A．Agrees. B．Disagrees. C．Doesn’t mention. D．Doesn’t care.
25．Which of the following can be the best title
A．Protecting the environment B．Wolves Returning to the UK
C．Making the UK Wild again D．Saving Wildlife in Britain

The Arctic and Antarctica (南极) are wild places on the earth. Scientists study them to know about the history of the earth and the change of weather. They’re both super cold, but what else do you know about them
First, the Arctic is in the north, while the Antarctica sits in the south. Imagine a big ball with snow and ice at both ends—that’s what our earth looks like!
There isn’t just snow or ice. They have beautiful views (风景) and some special animals, too. You might think polar bears and penguins (企鹅) live together. No!

Nowadays the pollution of the sea is becoming an increasingly serious problem. How can we reduce the pollution in the sea and make the underwater environment better Scientists in Norway have created an underwater robot, which can help a lot.
The robot is 45 kg in weight and uses special cameras to get 3D images (图像). It can discover different kinds of pollution at the bottom of the sea. It will help clean-up teams find the areas where there is rubbish and then they can spend most of their time and money removing (清除) the most harmful materials.
The researchers put their work to the test in a bay (海湾) in the city of Bergen. First, the robot swam up and down two meters above the seabed, collecting information. Then a computer turned the information into a map, which showed different rubbish materials in different colors. Thousands of objects were discovered in the bay, including bottles, metals, plastics, etc. “Bergen is a place where different industries come together, and the city is quite old, so there’s a huge amount of rubbish,” said Trygve Olav Fossum, one of the researchers. “We think the rubbish in the bay weighs 150 tons to 300 tons.” It is not always possible to remove everything. Some things are more harmful, so it’s more important to clear them from the sea.
“Glass isn’t really polluting the sea,” said Fossum. “So if you know there’s an area with a lot of glass, you don’t need to worry much about that and you can pay more attention to the things that are putting heavy metals into the environment.” The maps will be used to help the clean-up teams locate (定位) the most harmful materials so that they can remove them first.
Thanks to the development of the science and technology, the underwater environment can be improved a lot. As well as helping to deal with pollution, the robot can also show where creatures like starfish are on the seabed.

Human activity is changing the surface and temperature of our planet. But new research shows it is also changing the sound of oceans and seas. Scientists say these changes affect (影响) many sea animals—from very small fish to huge whales.
Sound travels very far underwater. For fish, sound is a better way to sense their environment than light. They use sounds to communicate with each other. Sounds also help some ocean animals find food and avoid their hunters. Sounds help fish and other sea animals survive (生存).
However, increased noise from humans is making it harder for these animals to hear each other. The noise comes from shipping traffic, underwater oil and gas exploration, and other noisy human activity. For many sea animals, their efforts to communicate are being masked (被掩盖) by sounds that humans have introduced. Experts explain the term masking, which happens when one or more noises in the water block sound important to an ocean animal’s life.
The Red Sea is one of the world’s most important shipping passages. It is full of large ships traveling to Asia, Europe, and Africa. Some fish and other animals now avoid the noisiest areas. Also, the overall number of sea animals has gone down by about half since 1970. In some parts of the ocean, scientists now record fewer animals singing and calling than in the past.
Experts say that effects of noise on sea animals are not well understood. However, some studies suggest that noise may cause hearing loss. The stress from human noise might also affect the immune (免疫) system—an animal’s natural defense system. Many sea animals are showing higher levels of stress because of noise.
When people think of threats (威胁) facing the ocean, we often think of climate change, plastics, and overfishing. But noise pollution is another necessary thing we need to be monitoring. When it comes to something humans can do for the ocean, we need to think about how to make it quieter. Sound pollution may be easier to deal with than other ocean threats. You can reduce or turn off sound immediately. It’s not like plastics or climate change, which are much harder to undo.
41．According to the passage, sounds can help sea animals in many ways except ________.
A．blocking the sunshine outside B．searching for something to eat
C．getting away from their hunters D．communicating with each other
42．What can you know from the passage

Many people love animals, but only a few really work hard to care for and protect them. British zoologist Jane Goodall is such an example.
Born in 1934, Goodall had a natural love for animals as a child. At 10, she read Tarzan of the ages (《人猿泰山》) for the first time while up in a tree. This made her fall in love with the wonderful land of Africa, dreaming of studying the chimpanzee (黑猩猩) there.
At 26, Goodall finally made it to Tanzania and walked into the little-known world of wild chimpanzee. At first, Goodall got sick from the weather and bug bates there. Also, the chimps didn’t trust her and were very wary, trying to keep away from this stranger. Still she tried to get over these problems. She watched them quietly and patiently from far away. After months of long and hard work, the chimps got used to her being around.
Later, Goodall found something that surprised the world — chimps make and use tools (工具)! Before this, people thought only humans could do such things. Goodall also found that chimps have their own social relationships. For example, they may decide leaders and followers, just like humans. Moreover, some chimps were shy and some were outgoing. Sometimes, Goodall even saw chimps fighting with each other.
Besides studying chimps, she also started a group called the Jane Goodall Institute to protect (保护) them. The group does many things like protecting forests, stopping hunting, and teaching local people how to care for chimps.
Today, the 90-year-old woman still travels around the world, speaking about the dangers chimpanzee are facing and other environmental problems.
46．What started Goodall’s interest in chimpanzee
A．The book she read as a child. B．A film named Tarzan of the ages.
C．Her love for nature and animals. D．Her early experiences with animals.
47．The underlined word “wary” is close to ________

48．It’s clear that Goodall ________
A．won fame and got lots of prices B．failed to make the chimpanzee accept her
C．found chimpanzee are the same as humans D．helped people understand chimpanzee better
49．Why does Goodall still travel around the world today
A．To call on people to protect the earth. B．To collect more information for her study.
C．To experience different cultures in the world.
D．To study other wild animals instead of chimps.
50．What would be the best title for the passage
A．The Life of Jane Goodall B．Jane Goodall and Her chimpanzee
C．The Action of Saving Animals D．chimpanzee and Their World
On November 13, 2023, people across Kenya (肯尼亚) took part in their first national tree-planting holiday. The holiday was created to encourage people to plant trees.
Kenya is famous for its beautiful forests and wildlife. But large areas of Kenya’s forests have been cut down, either for the wood or for farming. So there is less and less land covered by forests in Kenya. The government has a goal (目标) of planting 15 billion trees by 2032 to cover 30% of its land with trees.
In early November, the government announced (宣布) National Tree Growing Day would fall on November 13. To prepare for the day, the government got 150 million young trees ready for planting. The government also created a special app to help organize the tree planting. The app helps people collect young trees, find places to plant, and record their efforts. It also helps the government find out how many trees have been planted in different areas around the country.
On that day, people all over Kenya turned out (出现) in large numbers to take part in the holiday. In the capital, hundreds of people joined in, even though it was raining. Workers, students, families and other groups showed up to take part.
51．Why did Kenya create the tree-planting holiday
A．To help people relax. B．To tell people to develop farming.
C．To encourage people to plant trees. D．To make people enjoy its beautiful forests.
52．Why is there less and less land covered by forests in Kenya
A．Because wildlife needs the land. B．Because there are fewer farmers.
C．Because the rainwater takes away the land. D．Because people cut down the forests for a living.
53．How many trees does the Kenyan government want to plant by 2032
A．15 billion. B．15 million. C．30 billion. D．150 million.
54．What do we know about the special app in Paragraph 3
A．It is created to record the weather. B．It helps people to collect young trees.
C．It shows the number of trees in only one area. D．It tells people the importance of the government.
55．What was Kenyan people’s opinion about the national tree-planting holiday
A．They refused to join in it. B．They thought it was too boring.
C．They made no effort to celebrate it. D．They showed up and took part in it.
People today are familiar with words, such as “going eco-friendly” and “sustainable lifestyle (可持续生活方式)”. Many people join “The Green Movement” and take nature-friendly lifestyles. However, there’s still a group of people who believe that going eco-friendly is only a short-term fashion and it isn’t going to last long.
Many environmental organisations can prove that going eco-friendly is not only a fashion that lasts for a few months but a trend (趋势). These organisations pay close attention to different green causes and hold activities to increase people’s awareness on environmental problems.
The use of sustainable products like bamboo straws and electric cars is another evidence to show going eco-friendly isn’t a show. The customers are willing to buy such products, and more and more companies invest (投资) money in the production. Starbucks gives their customers discounts if they bring their own bottles for drinks. The efforts that are made by companies and customers show a change in the attitudes of people towards taking a sustainable lifestyle.
Meanwhile, some other people hold the view that people who take eco-friendly methods just want to improve their own image. They won’t keep the lifestyle for a long time. For example, some people post videos on the Internet and pretend they live in a zero-waste life. However, going eco-friendly isn’t a kind of fashion or a way to get others’ attention. For those who follow their zero-waste lifestyles over years, it’s about a promise that can only come with a true change in attitudes towards caring for the earth.
What’s worse, some customers go eco-friendly only because they think it’s popular. Today, buying recycled clothes is highly encouraged. It’s common to walk past the shops that claim to sell clothing made from recycled materials. However, many companies use only a small number of recycled materials, as low as 1%, to make their “eco-friendly” clothes. A lot of customers are cheated by the advertisements of such big companies. All of these suggest that going eco-friendly is all about looking the part, and nothing more.
The call to save the earth seems to remain for a while. It’s hoped that all the efforts for environmental protection will go a long way so that our future generations can have a better living environment.
56．What might be the structure of the passage
A． B． C． D．
57．What can people do to have a sustainable lifestyle
A．Change the attitude towards the fast food.
B．Collect evidence about going eco-friendly.
C．Take their own bottles when they buy drinks.
D．Record daily lives and post videos on the Internet.
58．What does the writer mean by the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5
A．Customers need to learn more ways of going eco-friendly.
B．People have to change the attitudes towards recycled clothes.
C．Some people don’t take going eco-friendly as a long-term lifestyle.
D．More activities should be held by big companies to save the world.
59．Which of the following can best express the message (启示) of the passage
A．Solve different problems in different ways.
B．Protecting the nature is protecting ourselves.
C．Be careful of the information from the media.
D．Saving the earth needs every effort all the time.
