Nina is reading a book about endangered natural and cultural destinations (目的地) in the world. The writer wants the book to be a hopeful call to action. Let’s visit some of these places.
Venice The ancient city of Venice, Italy has long been threatened (威胁) by rising sea levels. The situation is made worse by the fact that its ancient buildings are slowly sinking. When the city was founded about 1,600 years ago, the level of the Adriatic Sea was almost 2 metres lower than it is today.
Mount Kilimanjaro Mount Kilimanjaro in northeastern Tanzania, is the highest point in Africa. The mountain supports 5 plant areas and many kinds of animals. The ice glaciers (冰川) on the mountain are disappearing very quickly. This will have a bad effect on the mountain’s ecosystems (生态系统) and on Tanzania’s travel industry.
Glacier National Park In the US, the icy blocks in Glacier National Park may soon completely disappear because of weather change. In 1850, there were about 150 glaciers. There are 26 glaciers remaining today. Scientists say the glaciers will be gone by 2030.
Great Barrier Reef The Great Barrier Reef in Australia is the largest coral reef (珊瑚礁) system in the world. Rising sea temperatures are greatly harming the reef. In some areas, healthy yellow, brown and green reefs have become white, which is bad for the whole ecosystem of this special underwater area.

Orangutan means “person of the forest” in the Malay language. Orangutans are great apes (猿). Wild orangutans live on two islands—Sumatra and Borneo in Southeast Asia. Orangutans have long and powerful arms, fingers and toes. These help them climb and swing between trees in the rainforest.
Orangutans mostly eat fruit. They also eat leaves, flowers, and sometimes insects. Over 300 different types of food have been found in their diet. Orangutans play a very important role in spreading fruit and plant seeds in the forest. This helps to keep their rainforest home healthy.
Orangutans are smart and intelligent. They create and use tools to get seeds from fruit. They also use tools to catch insects from the insides of trees. Orangutans memorize the rainforest where they live. This helps them know which trees have ripe (成熟的) fruit. They build a sleeping nest each night made of branches (树枝) and leaves.
However, orangutans are in great danger. Scientists say that there are less than 62, 000 orangutans remaining in the wild. Young orangutans are sometimes caught and sold as pets. Orangutans are also hunted for food. The biggest problem is that orangutans are losing their homes. Millions of rainforests are cut down each year for palm oil (棕榈油). Palm oil can be used to make candy bars, cookies, shampoos, soaps, and pet food. Most of the palm oil produced in the world is from Sumatra and Borneo.
Wildlife organizations are working hard to help protect the remaining rainforests. If the rainforests disappear, orangutans will disappear forever.

Mathilde Wittock, a designer from Belgium, makes resting chairs using old tennis balls. She creates them with no wood or plastic. Instead, each of her chairs is made up of 500 tennis balls. It is both stylish and strong.
Wittock wants to help protect the environment because many tennis balls are thrown away and don’t break down easily. About 300 million tennis balls are produced each year— and almost all of them end up in landfills (垃圾填埋场). It takes them over 400 years to decompose. Big tennis events use a large number of balls, like the U. S. Open with 70,000 and Wimbledon with 55,000. The lifecycle of a ball is not long, which usually lasts for nine games.
Wittock receives all her materials from donations, mostly from tennis clubs. It takes Wittock three to four weeks to make a chair. To meet the customers’ needs, she cuts and colours the tennis balls by hand to match their rooms. It takes her much hard work and patience to change how the balls look.
But creation isn’t the only goal. In fact, what’s more important to Wittock is what happens to the chair when it’s old. At the end of her chair’s life, she takes it apart and recycles the tennis balls. The fuzz (绒毛) is burned off, and the ball is cut into pieces to make bouncy mats(弹性垫) for kids to play on. In this way, nothing goes to waste.
12.What does Mathilde Wittock use to make a resting chair
A.Plastic bottles. B.Used tennis balls.
C.Recycled glasses. D.Old wooden boxes.
13.What does the underlined word “decompose” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A.To become chairs. B.To wash away the landfills.
C.To grow from land. D.To divide into smaller parts.
14.What can be learned about tennis balls from paragraph 2
A.They are helpful to the environment.
B.Fewer balls should be used in big matches.
C.Many balls are needed in big tennis events.
D.About 300 million balls are made each month.
15.Where does Wittock get most of the tennis balls for her chairs
A.From landfills. B.From her customers.
C.From tennis clubs. D.From some charities.
16.What’s the last paragraph mainly about
A.How to continuously reduce waste.
B.How to make tennis balls into mats.
C.How to improve the design of chairs.
D.How to take tennis balls apart quickly.

It was reported in May 2024 that the China Wildlife Conservation Association (CWCA,中国野生动物保护协会) will send giant pandas Yun Chuan and Xin Bao to the San Diego Zoo in the United States, which is a symbol of a new 10-year period of international conservation partnership. The CWCA has organized experienced caretakers and doctors to go with the pandas to the US. The zoo is getting ready to provide the pandas with a larger and more comfortable living environment. It has also formed a team with special skills related with panda care, daily nursing, and scientific research.
The cooperation (合作) between the CWCA and the San Diego Zoo dates back to 1996 when Bai Yun and Shi Shi became the first pair of pandas to live in the zoo. Giant pandas Hua Mei, born in 1999, and Mei Sheng, born in 2003, who used to live there, are the result of China-US giant panda research cooperation. Over the past twenty years, the two sides have cooperated and solved many technical problems, including important discoveries in key areas like panda raising.
Since the 1990s, China has cooperated on giant panda conservation with 20 countries. “International cooperation in fields such as disease prevention and control, treatment, and wild training and reintroduction to the wild, has achieved good results. Giant pandas will facilitate communication between peoples and let people around the world know China better,” said Li, the leader of the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda.
“Scientific and educational outreach (延伸服务) also serves as a key role in international giant panda exchanges, allowing more people to understand giant pandas, which provides very good support for our efforts in protecting wild giant pandas,” Li said.
17.China’s sending Yun Chuan and Xin Bao to the San Diego Zoo means ________.
A.a good living condition for pandas B.a new age of conservation cooperation
C.a great achievement in scientific research D.a long-term plan for training panda caretakers

If you see a girl and a boy throwing two baby puffins (海鹦) off a cliff (悬崖) on the Westman Islands, you may not understand why they’re doing so. In fact, they are just trying to help save them.
Puffins are the most common birds on the Westman Islands in Iceland. Different from most sea birds, they are able to go under water to 60 meters deep to catch fish. Each spring, they lay eggs in holes on cliffs. 40 days later, they will fly back to the sea, leaving the young there. Baby puffins would spend about six weeks in the holes alone before they are ready to fly to the sea.
In the past, young puffins could easily find the sea with the help of the moonlight. But now, bright lights of the city often make them lose their way. Many of them end up flying into the town. However, it’s not an easy thing for young puffins to fly up and find food in the town, so they may lose their lives there.
That’s why people on the Westman Islands have decided to help those young puffins. In late summer, when young puffins leave their holes, local people often go out to look for the missing puffins at night. If they find one, they would pick it up and put it in a box. The next day, they would take it to the cliff and throw it off. In this way, young puffins can fly safely to their new home for the next few years.
The unusual tradition also helps make sure the puffins will be back to their holes another year.
A puffin lays one egg each year at most, so the help from the people on the Westman Islands is of great importance to the survival (生存) of puffins.
22. Why are the boy and the girl throwing the baby puffins off a cliff
A.To have fun. B.To hurt them. C.To take photos. D.To help them.
23. When do puffins lay eggs
A.In spring. B.In summer. C.In autumn. D.In winter.
24. What can we know from the passage
A.Puffins spend 40 days at sea every year.
B.Young puffins find it easy to live in the town.
C.Local people often take puffins home as pets.
D.The help from local people is important to puffins.
25. What’s the purpose of this passage
A.To teach teenagers how to feed puffins.
B.To introduce a special way to save puffins.
C.To help local people raise money for puffins.
D.To encourage readers to visit the Westman Islands.

Last summer I went on holiday with my family to our friends’ summer house in the countryside near a national park. We used to go there every year when we were little, but we hadn’t been back for years. I had really nice memories of the place as a young child, boating on the lake and walking through the fields nearby. When we were little, our parents had always taught us to respect the countryside and wildlife and leave no mark, and that’s what we always did.
On the first morning after we arrived, we decided to go hiking around the lake. But instead of the beautiful area I remembered, it was just a mess. It looked like people had camped near the lake and just left all their things there. I had read about this before: it’s called “fly-camping”. Instead of staying at campsites, people who fly-camp want to travel light, so they only buy basic camping tools, then just leave all their things there in the wild.
We picked up the rubbish and took it into the local village to throw it away properly. While we were there, we decided to have lunch at a café and spoke to the owner. We told her about how we had visited here when we were younger and how it hadn’t been a problem then. “It’s got really bad over the last few years. It’s almost like people think it’s a waste dump (垃圾场),” she said. “The other day, I was walking my dog over there and he came running back to me. He had found some food boxes, and one of them had stuck to his face and he couldn’t get it off. Poor thing.” She also said she’d reported it to an environmental organization, but they hadn’t been able to do anything yet.
After that, we decided to spend another day picking up the rubbish we found. We used some big bags we had brought from the village and filled them up every day. I hope the situation gets better in the future.
26. What did the countryside use to be like when the writer was young

27. What does the underlined part “fly-camping” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A.Camping by the beautiful lake. B.Going camping by airplane.
C.Leaving camping things behind. D.Using special camping tents.
28. Why did the café owner mention her dog finding food boxes
A.To show the rubbish problem. B.To share a funny pet story.
C.To draw attention to her café. D.To talk about the local wildlife.
29. How did the writer spend most of his time on holiday
A.Going to parties. B.Picking up rubbish.
C.Enjoying nature. D.Talking to a child.

After a 10-year project to count tuna and other large fish in the world's oceans, scientists have made a very surprising discovery: these fish are almost gone. Because of too much fishing, almost 90 percent of the worldwide population of large fish—the ones we usually eat—has disappeared. If we don’t act, these animals will totally disappear. That will influence every animal in the ocean.
The demand for fish is growing. Almost a billion people around the world get their protein (蛋白质) mostly from fish. Doctors praise seafood for being low in fat. But what seems like a healthy choice for humans is causing a disaster to our oceans. “People are consuming (消费) too much,” says Lance Morgan, a scientist at the Marine Conservation Biology Institute.
A dish of tuna in restaurants costs more than just one animal's life. When fish like tuna disappear from the ecosystem (生态系统), the ocean’s food chain (链) breaks down. Animals such as sharks, which normally eat tuna, may die because they find no food.
The news may be scary, but taking action from now on can prevent harm that hasn’t happened yet. World organizations are ordering countries to stop fishing too much. The Monterey Bay Aquarium gives seafood choices to anyone hoping to keep healthy without destroying the environment.
“If you care about wildlife, first spend time and think about your own values and beliefs,” says Morgan. “Then decide what you’re going to eat.”
30. How does the writer start the text
A.By giving a fact. B.By asking a question.
C.By telling a story. D.By using a saying.
31. What does the underlined word “demand” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Wish. B.Support. C.Need. D.Price.
32. From Paragraph 3, we know that ________.
A.if sharks die out, tuna will die out soon
B.tuna will be more popular in restaurants
C.tuna plays an important role in the ecosystem
D.tuna disappeared because they found no food
33. What’s the purpose of the text
A.To tell people to stop polluting our oceans.
B.To tell people to protect wildlife in oceans.
C.To tell people to avoid eating too much seafood.
D.To tell people to live a balanced and healthy life.
34. What does the last paragraph of the article explain ________.
A.We need to care about wildlife
B.We need to eat wild animals
C.We need to reflect on our own values and beliefs
D.We don’t want to protect wild animals

New research has found that wells dug by wild horses in deserts provide valuable drinking water. This helps other animals too, as black bears and American badgers have been found drinking at the wells.
A team of researchers from Australia, Denmark and the US set up remote cameras at four desert locations in the US. Wild horses had used their feet to dig wells as much as two meters deep at these sites, so they could reach water under dry river beds and streams. The cameras were used to watch over the sites and were set to record whenever an animal moved in front of them.
The scientists saw plenty of comings and goings by horses but they were most interested in which other animals came to drink at the wells. Over the course of three summers, beginning in 2015, the team recorded 57 kinds of other large animals visiting the wells, including wild cats and deer. The team also found that the wells offered water to desert plants.
Researcher Erick Lundgren, from Aarhus University in Denmark, described the wild horses as “natural engineers”—animals that change the environment around them. Perhaps the best known natural engineers are beavers (河狸). Beavers cut down trees with their teeth, creating space in woods where sunlight can reach smaller plants and allow them to grow. Then beavers use the wood to create dams across rivers, which help clean pollution in water and protect their homes.
More than 12,000 years ago, several kinds of horse-related animals lived in North America but they all died out. Today’s wild horses develop from animals that were brought to America by humans in the past few hundred years. By digging wells that help other animals, they may be providing a similar service of natural engineering once given by their extinct relatives.
35.Why did the wild horses dig the wells
A.To protect themselves. B.To help other animals.
C.To get drinking water. D.To create living space.
36.What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the study
A.The result. B.The method. C.The purpose. D.The problem.
37.What can we learn about the wells
A.They were dug with horses’ teeth. B.They were found near running rivers.
C.They reached as deep as four meters. D.They provided water for desert plants.
38.What advantage can small plants get because of beavers
A.More sunlight. B.More water. C.Less pollution. D.Less space.
39.What is the main idea of the passage
A.Wild horses are changing deserts. B.Wild horses are natural engineers.
C.Wild horses were brought to America. D.Wild horses were found visiting wells.

On a cold day in winter, a 13-year-old boy, living in Qinghai Province, was heading down a mountaintop with his family. Suddenly, they saw two snow leopards (雪豹) near the Lancang River. “I see them for the first time. They look so cool!” he said.
Since the mid-20th century, the area of snow, grasslands and lakes in Sanjiangyuan has become smaller because of climate change and human activities. Many wild animals in the area have died out. Snow leopards are endangered.
Later, China set up Sanjiangyuan Nature Reserve (保护区) to better protect the area and the wildlife there. In these years, the number of wild animals has been increasing. More than 70,000 Tibetan antelopes (藏羚羊) live there now. And over 1,000 snow leopards can be found in the area. It’s higher than the average number around the world.
The local people have improved their understanding about environmental protection and have tried hard to protect the environment in Sanjiangyuan over the years. They still live on selling caterpillar fungus (冬虫夏草) they’ve found in grasslands. In the past, they carried food with them in plastic bags and left the bags and food waste behind. But now the local people have realized they should live together with nature in harmony. They often pick up waste on the grasslands. People also take their plastic bags and food waste down the mountain after eating. The local environment has taken on a new look. Many young people there said, “We will continue to guard our home and make it more beautiful.”
40.What can we know from paragraph 1 and paragraph 2
A.Snow leopards are in danger.
B.A boy raised two snow leopards at home.
C.Two snow leopards first appeared near the Yellow River.
D.The grasslands and lakes in Sanjiangyuan have disappeared.
41.Why did China build Sanjiangyuan Nature Reserve
A.To develop the local tourist industry. B.To improve the natural environment.
C.To provide a home for more people. D.To find the source of three rivers.
42.The local people in Sanjiangyuan has changed their way of ________.
A.making a living B.crossing the grasslands
C.carrying food with them D.dealing with waste
43.What does the underlined word “harmony” mean
A.智慧 B.和谐 C.伤害 D.忠诚
44.What can we infer from the passage
A.The local people won’t sell caterpillar fungus any more.
B.Many young people choose to leave Sanjiangyuan.
C.The future of Sanjiangyuan Nature Reserve will be better and better.
D.The number of Tibetan antelopes in Sanjiangyuan is the smallest.
