The dry land in Gir National Park and Wildlife Preserve， located near India western tip， is the proud — and only — home of the Asiatic lion. By the early 1900s， however， their populations had decreased for homo loss and hunting， leaving fewer than 50 known individuals alive. Though their numbers have risen over the past several decades — climbing to around 670 in 2020， a successful story — the lions are still considered endangered.
One of the biggest challenges to keep the lions’ future is to track them， a hard work. Some animals， like tigers and zebras， have special coat patterns （图案） that provide useful marks to the researchers. But for the Asiatic lions， researchers must look elsewhere.
In 2019， Banerjee， who worked for Indias National Tiger Conservation Authority， developed an AI system to recognize the lions with high accuracy （精准）. The AI program， SIMBA， has been applied in practice. “It will be a fantastic tool for long-term lion monitoring，” says Banerjee.“It could help forest officials arrive at a more accurate estimate （评估） of Gir’s lion population. In a few years， the group will have a rich collection of information — how many lions are male， female， how many will bear babies and how many are dead.”
Despite the advantages， Banerjee also adds his worries. He suggests certain rules be made to prevent main information from being stolen. “Where tools like SIMBA really shine”， he says， “is in helping researchers develop monitoring plans that are keys to the protection of at-risk animals. Otherwise， all your efforts will be in vain.”
1.What is the greatest difficulty in protecting Asiatic lions？（ ）
A.Stopping them from being killed.
B.Keeping track of them.
C.Protecting their living environment.
D.Increasing their population.
2.How does SIMBA help researchers？（ ）
A.By locating lions’ homes.
B.By tracking other animals.
C.By monitoring the animal stealers.
D.By providing accurate information.
3.What’s Banerjee’s opinion about the AI program？（ ）
A.It needs to be widely used.
B.It has saved the at-risk animals.
C.Its possible risks should be aware of.
D.Its disadvantages should be ignored.
4.Which can be a suitable title for the text？（ ）
A.The Application of AI on Protecting Animals
B.The AI Program for the Endangered Asiatic Lions
C.The Measures of Protecting Asiatic Lions
D.The Biggest Challenge of the AI system

Energy Dome （穹顶）， an Italian company behind the world’s first carbon dioxide （CO2） battery has signed a deal to export the technology to the US.The company says that its technology could speed up the transition （过渡） to renewable energy.
Energy storage is one of the major obstacles when it comes to the transition to clean energy.Solar and wind energy can be harvested in large amounts， but there is no sufficient storage.The available （可获得的） batteries such as lithiumion and lead batteries are quite expensive.Besides， these batteries are only suitable for a small amount of storage.
Energy Dome’s energy storage solution isn’t pretty to look at， but the technology that makes it work is pretty fascinating.As the company’s founder and CEO Claudio Spadacini explained in an interview， carbon dioxide stored in a massive dome at normal temperature and pressure is compressed （压缩） to change into its liquid form （液态）.The heat from this compression is drawn off into a storage system.This is the charging process and can be used to store incoming energy from renewable energy sources， such as wind and solar.
When power needs to be supplied， the stored heat is used to heat up the liquid carbon dioxide， which turns into a gas that is then pushed through a machine to produce electricity.The whole process is a fully closed system， where no carbon dioxide is sent into the air.
“Energy Dome’s CO2 batteries can be quickly placed anywhere in the world at less than half the cost of similar-sized lithiumion battery storage systems， and they do not use any rare metal like lithium or cobalt but use readily available material such as carbon dioxide， steel and water，” said Energy Dome in an announcement.
Energy Dome launched its first plant in Sardinia earlier this year.The success of the plant has proven that the idea works.Elemental Excelerator， a US company， has provided money and established a partnership with Energy Dome in a deal that will bring the technology to the US.According to Elemental Excelerator， such an energy storage technology has been the missing piece in the decarbonization puzzle （脱碳难题）.
5.What does the underlined word “obstacles” in Paragraph 2 probably mean？（ ）
A.Difficulties. B.Chances.
C.Benefits. D.Risks.
6.What would happen during the charging process of CO2 batteries？（ ）
A.Liquid carbon dioxide is slowly heated.
B.Carbon dioxide gas is mixed into the air.
C.Carbon dioxide gas is turned into a liquid.
D.Liquid carbon dioxide is drawn into a dome.
7.Energy Dome introduces CO2 batteries in an announcement mainly by .（ ）
A.using examples
B.making comparisons
C.setting down general rules
D.presenting research findings
8.What is Elemental Excelerator’s attitude to CO2 batteries？（ ）
A.Carefree. B.Doubtful.
C.Supportive. D.Uncertain.

When 62-year-old fisherman Kpana Charlie finished the day’s catch， he liked to settle into a wooden chair， thinking about his childhood. Back then， his life on Sierra Leone’s Nyangai Island seemed excellent. He spent endless hours playing with his friends on the island’s white beaches. Whenever he wanted to avoid having to do his housework， he could simply disappear into the forest that covered much of the island. He remembers as recently as ten years ago， it still measured some 2，300 feet from end to end.
Today， Nyangai is disappearing before his very eyes， covered by the endless sea. The forests are gone. And the land on which Charlie’s family home once stood， has long since disappeared beneath the waves.
In fact， the local government has responded to the sharp increase of sea level by building a concrete （混凝土制的） seawall along the length of the town. But in the many smaller coastal towns and villages in the area， there simply aren’t the resources. Then， the government made a project to protect some of the settlements by planting trees， but this has had limited success. With the population relying on woods for building and smoking-fish， few trees lived longer than the project， which ended in 2021.
Sierra Leone has been identified as one of the world’s most weak countries to the effects of climate change， despite having little influence on global CO2 emissions （排放）. “Weak countries should be getting some support from wealthy nations to strengthen their climate defenses （防御），” says Gabriel Kpaka， the head of the country’s Meteorological Agency. “But we’re not really seeing that.”
With global sea level expected to rise by anywhere between 1 and 3 feet by the end of the century， along with an increase in extreme weather events， the experience of this West African island offers an understanding of the possible future of countless other low-lying areas around the world.
9.Why does the author tell Charlie’s story in Paragraph 1？（ ）
A.To describe his wonderful life at present.
B.To offer readers background information.
C.To call on local people to protect the sea.
D.To attract more visitors to Nyangai Island.
10.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about？（ ）
A.The reasons for the changes on the island.
B.The rich natural species in coastal areas.
C.The measures taken to deal with rising sea level.
D.The way to build a concrete seawall on the island.
11.What can be done to help Nyangai Island according to Kpaka？（ ）
A.Local government should build a stronger seawall.
B.Local people on the island limit their CO2 emissions.
C.Countries in low-lying areas work together for their rights.
D.Rich countries should offer support about climate defenses.
12.What is the author’s attitude towards the future of other low-lying areas？（ ）
A.Concerned. B.Doubtful.
C.Uncertain. D.Positive.

Dear schoolmates，
Recently， I took part in an activity called “No Plastic in Nature” initiated by WWF， aiming to reduce the use of plastic products.
As we all know， plastic products are widely used from households， hospitals to supermarkets， factories and so on.Useful as plastic products are， overusing and improper treatment do great harm to our lives， which results in a great waste of resources and heavy environment pollution.Even worse， they are likely to pose a threat to public health.
Therefore， I call on every one of you to participate in this activity and do your part to protect our homeland.

What’s really green？
Most of us are aware that we must take care of① the environment， and the majority② of us take steps to save③ energy and reduce waste and pollution.But recently， some “green truths” have been shown to be only half④ true， or even completely false.Here are some common ones.Which are really green？
？Paper shopping bags are better than plastic ones.
Plastic bags cause litter and are a danger to wild animals， which mistake them for⑤ food.[1]It takes hundreds of years for plastic to break down⑥， but much less time for paper.Because of this， people think paper bags are the better environmental choice.
[1]此处是“It takes some time for sb/sth to do sth”句型，表示“做某事花费……多少时间”。
[2]However， making a paper bag uses four times as much energy as making a plastic bag and up to⑦ three times the amount⑧ of water. The process also produces more greenhouse gases⑨.
In fact， both kinds of bags are bad for the environment.So， take a reusable⑩ bag with you when you go shopping.
[2]making a paper bag为动词-ing形式作主语，谓语动词应用单数形式；four times as much energy as ...是“倍数＋as ...as ...”结构；three times the amount of water是“倍数＋the＋名词（amount/size/height/weight/length/ ...）＋of ...”结构。
？When you turn off a device， it stops using power .
When we turn off a device， such as television， it goes into stand-by mode .Devices in this mode still use power， and older devices in stand-by mode can use even more.This happens because electricity continues to leak from the device， even when it is turned “off”.To make sure your appliance is in fact off， remove the plug from its power supply .
？Eating local food is good for the environment.
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.Unfortunately， it is not that simple.[3]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 produce might have used more energy and produced more greenhouse gases than produce grown a long way away — even [4]taking into account its transport.
[3]本句是强调句，即“It is/was＋被强调部分＋that/who ...”。本句强调的是主语the production of food。
[4]taking into account its transport为动词-ing短语作让步状语。
？It’s better to take a shower than a bath.
It depends on how long you spend in the shower and how large your bath is.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.[5]But it’s worth checking common ideas and opinions to see what’s really green.
[5]此处是“It’s worth doing sth”句型，表示“做某事是值得的”。to see what’s really green为动词不定式作目的状语。

哪些才是真正的环保做法？
我们大部分人都意识到要保护环境，也采取了各种行动节约能源，减少浪费和污染。但是近来，一些“绿色环保真相”被证实并非完全正确，甚至是无稽之谈。下面列举了一些常见的环保观念，其中哪些是正确的呢？
纸质购物袋优于塑料袋？
塑料袋会变成垃圾，被野生动物误食后会对其造成伤害。塑料需要数百年才能分解，而纸的降解时间要短得多，因此人们认为纸袋是更为环保的选择。
然而，生产纸袋的耗能为塑料袋的四倍，耗水则多达三倍。其生产过程也会产生更多的温室气体。
事实上，这两种袋子都不够环保，所以出门购物时请带一个能重复利用的袋子。
关掉的电器不耗电？
当我们关掉电视等电器时，它会进入待机状态。这种状态下的电器仍然耗电，而且越旧的电器耗电越多。这是因为电器即使已经被“关掉”了，却依然有电流从电器中流失。为确保电器设备彻底关闭，请从电源上拔下电器插头。
吃本地食物更利于环保？
这似乎已是人们常识性的认识：吃本地产的食物更环保，因为不需要长途低温运输。然而，事实并没有那么简单。相比于运输，食物的生产过程才是消耗大部分能源及产生大部分温室气体的原因。在有些情况下，即使将运输的因素考虑在内，本地的农产品也可能比距离遥远的外地种植的农产品耗能更多，产生的温室气体也更多。
淋浴比泡澡更好？
这取决于你淋浴的时间和你的浴缸大小。如果淋浴超过八分钟，那么耗水量就和泡澡一样多——大约为五十升水。所以，节水的关键在于尽量缩短淋浴的时间。
环保意识已经融入了人们的日常生活，但我们仍需仔细辨别我们已经习以为常的理念和观点中哪些才是真正“绿色环保”的。

What’s really green？
Most of us are aware that we must take care of① the environment，
and the majority② of us take steps to save③ energy and reduce waste and
pollution.But recently， some “green truths” have been shown to be
only half④ true， or even completely false.Here are some common
ones.Which are really green？
Plastic bags cause litter and are a danger to wild animals， which
mistake them for⑤ food.[1]It takes hundreds of years for plastic to break
down⑥， but much less time for paper.Because of this， people think
paper bags are the better environmental choice.
[1]此处是“It takes some time for sb/sth to do sth”句型，表示
“做某事花费……多少时间”。
？Paper shopping bags are better than plastic ones.
【读文清障】
①take care of爱护，照顾，照料
②majority n.多数，大多数（人或物）
③take steps to do sth 采取措施做某事
④half adv.部分地
⑤mistake ...for ...把……错当成……
⑥break down分解；（机械等）出故障；（人）身体出毛病，垮掉
In fact， both kinds of bags are bad for the environment.So， take a
reusable⑩ bag with you when you go shopping.
[2]making a paper bag为动词-ing形式作主语，谓语动词应用单
数形式；four times as much energy as ...是“倍数＋as ...as ...”结
构；three times the amount of water是“倍数＋the＋名词
（amount/size/height/weight/length/ ...）＋of ...”结构。
[2]However， making a paper bag uses four times as much energy as
making a plastic bag and up to⑦ three times the amount⑧ of water. The
process also produces more greenhouse gases⑨.
⑦up to 到达（某数量、程度等），至多有
⑧amount n.数量，数额
⑨greenhouse gases温室气体
⑩reusable adj.可再度使用的；可多次使用的
When we turn off a device， such as television， it goes into stand-
by mode .Devices in this mode still use power， and older devices in
stand-by mode can use even more.This happens because electricity
continues to leak from the device， even when it is turned “off”.To
make sure your appliance is in fact off， remove the plug from its
power supply .
？When you turn off a device， it stops using power .
？Eating local food is good for the environment.
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.Unfortunately， it is not that
simple.[3]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 produce might have used more energy and produced more
greenhouse gases than produce grown a long way away — even [4]taking
into account its transport.
[3]本句是强调句，即“It is/was＋被强调部分＋
that/who ...”。本句强调的是主语the production of food。
[4]taking into account its transport为动词-ing短语作让步状语。
stop doing sth停止做某事
stop to do sth停下（正在做的事）去做另一件事
stand-by adj.备用的
mode n.（机器、设备的）运行方式，状态，模式
stand-by mode待机模式
leak v.（使）漏，（使）渗漏
make sure 确保，设法保证
power supply 电源
common sense 常识
in some cases在某些情况下
might have done 过去可能做过某事
take ...into account把……考虑进去
appliance n.家用电器，家用器具
remove v.移走，搬走，去掉
remove ...from ...把……从……移走/去掉
？It’s better to take a shower than a bath.
It depends on how long you spend in the shower and how large your
bath is.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.[5]But it’s worth
checking common ideas and opinions to see what’s really green.
[5]此处是“It’s worth doing sth”句型，表示“做某事是值得
的”。to see what’s really green为动词不定式作目的状语。
【参考译文】
哪些才是真正的环保做法？
我们大部分人都意识到要保护环境，也采取了各种行动节约能源，减
少浪费和污染。但是近来，一些“绿色环保真相”被证实并非完全正
确，甚至是无稽之谈。下面列举了一些常见的环保观念，其中哪些是
正确的呢？
纸质购物袋优于塑料袋？
塑料袋会变成垃圾，被野生动物误食后会对其造成伤害。塑料需要数
百年才能分解，而纸的降解时间要短得多，因此人们认为纸袋是更为
环保的选择。
然而，生产纸袋的耗能为塑料袋的四倍，耗水则多达三倍。其生产过
程也会产生更多的温室气体。
事实上，这两种袋子都不够环保，所以出门购物时请带一个能重复利
用的袋子。
关掉的电器不耗电？
当我们关掉电视等电器时，它会进入待机状态。这种状态下的电器仍
然耗电，而且越旧的电器耗电越多。这是因为电器即使已经被“关
掉”了，却依然有电流从电器中流失。为确保电器设备彻底关闭，请
从电源上拔下电器插头。
吃本地食物更利于环保？
这似乎已是人们常识性的认识：吃本地产的食物更环保，因为不需要
长途低温运输。然而，事实并没有那么简单。相比于运输，食物的生
产过程才是消耗大部分能源及产生大部分温室气体的原因。在有些情
况下，即使将运输的因素考虑在内，本地的农产品也可能比距离遥远
的外地种植的农产品耗能更多，产生的温室气体也更多。
淋浴比泡澡更好？
这取决于你淋浴的时间和你的浴缸大小。如果淋浴超过八分钟，那么
耗水量就和泡澡一样多——大约为五十升水。所以，节水的关键在于
尽量缩短淋浴的时间。
环保意识已经融入了人们的日常生活，但我们仍需仔细辨别我们已经
习以为常的理念和观点中哪些才是真正“绿色环保”的。

The dry land in Gir National Park and Wildlife Preserve， located
near India western tip， is the proud — and only — home of the Asiatic
lion. By the early 1900s， however， their populations had decreased for
homo loss and hunting， leaving fewer than 50 known individuals alive.
Though their numbers have risen over the past several decades — climbing
to around 670 in 2020， a successful story — the lions are still considered
endangered.
One of the biggest challenges to keep the lions’ future is to track
them， a hard work. Some animals， like tigers and zebras， have
special coat patterns （图案） that provide useful marks to the
researchers. But for the Asiatic lions， researchers must look elsewhere.
In 2019， Banerjee， who worked for Indias National Tiger
Conservation Authority， developed an AI system to recognize the lions
with high accuracy （精准）. The AI program， SIMBA， has been
applied in practice. “It will be a fantastic tool for long-term lion
monitoring，” says Banerjee.“It could help forest officials arrive at a
more accurate estimate （评估） of Gir’s lion population. In a few
years， the group will have a rich collection of information — how many
lions are male， female， how many will bear babies and how many are
dead.”
Despite the advantages， Banerjee also adds his worries. He suggests
certain rules be made to prevent main information from being stolen.
“Where tools like SIMBA really shine”， he says， “is in helping
researchers develop monitoring plans that are keys to the protection of at-
risk animals. Otherwise， all your efforts will be in vain.”

Energy Dome （穹顶）， an Italian company behind the world’s
first carbon dioxide （CO2） battery has signed a deal to export the
technology to the US. The company says that its technology could speed
up the transition （过渡） to renewable energy.
Energy storage is one of the major obstacles when it comes to the
transition to clean energy.Solar and wind energy can be harvested in large
amounts， but there is no sufficient storage.The available （可获得的）
batteries such as lithiumion and lead batteries are quite
expensive.Besides， these batteries are only suitable for a small amount
of storage.
Energy Dome’s energy storage solution isn’t pretty to look at，
but the technology that makes it work is pretty fascinating.As the
company’s founder and CEO Claudio Spadacini explained in an
interview， carbon dioxide stored in a massive dome at normal
temperature and pressure is compressed （压缩） to change into its liquid
form （液态）.The heat from this compression is drawn off into a storage
system.This is the charging process and can be used to store incoming
energy from renewable energy sources， such as wind and solar.
When power needs to be supplied， the stored heat is used to heat up
the liquid carbon dioxide， which turns into a gas that is then pushed
through a machine to produce electricity.The whole process is a fully
closed system， where no carbon dioxide is sent into the air.
“Energy Dome’s CO2 batteries can be quickly placed anywhere in
the world at less than half the cost of similar-sized lithiumion battery
storage systems， and they do not use any rare metal like lithium or cobalt
but use readily available material such as carbon dioxide， steel and
water，” said Energy Dome in an announcement.
Energy Dome launched its first plant in Sardinia earlier this year.The
success of the plant has proven that the idea works.Elemental
Excelerator， a US company， has provided money and established a
partnership with Energy Dome in a deal that will bring the technology to
the US. According to Elemental Excelerator， such an energy storage
technology has been the missing piece in the decarbonization puzzle （脱
碳难题）.

（ ）
A. Liquid carbon dioxide is slowly heated.
B. Carbon dioxide gas is mixed into the air.
C. Carbon dioxide gas is turned into a liquid.
D. Liquid carbon dioxide is drawn into a dome.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中的carbon dioxide stored in a
massive dome at normal temperature and pressure is compressed （压
缩） to change into its liquid form ...This is the charging process可
知，在二氧化碳电池充电过程中，二氧化碳气体会被压缩成液体。
7. Energy Dome introduces CO2 batteries in an announcement mainly
by .（ ）
A. using examples
B. making comparisons
C. setting down general rules
D. presenting research findings
解析： 文章结构题。根据第五段中的...at less than half the
cost of ...和do not use ...but use ...可知，Energy Dome 在
一个公告中介绍二氧化碳电池时主要采取的是将其与锂离子电
池相比较的方法。
8. What is Elemental Excelerator’s attitude to CO2 batteries？（ ）
A. Carefree. B. Doubtful.
C. Supportive. D. Uncertain.
解析： 观点态度题。根据最后一段中的Elemental
Excelerator ...in the decarbonization puzzle（脱碳难题）.可
知，Elemental Excelerator已向Energy Dome提供资金并与之签
署协议，将把二氧化碳电池引入美国，并认为二氧化碳电池可
以帮助解决脱碳问题。由此推断，Elemental Excelerator认可和
支持二氧化碳电池。

When 62-year-old fisherman Kpana Charlie finished the day’s
catch， he liked to settle into a wooden chair， thinking about his
childhood. Back then， his life on Sierra Leone’s Nyangai Island
seemed excellent. He spent endless hours playing with his friends on the
island’s white beaches. Whenever he wanted to avoid having to do his
housework， he could simply disappear into the forest that covered much
of the island. He remembers as recently as ten years ago， it still
measured some 2，300 feet from end to end.
Today， Nyangai is disappearing before his very eyes， covered by
the endless sea. The forests are gone. And the land on which Charlie’s
family home once stood， has long since disappeared beneath the waves.
In fact， the local government has responded to the sharp increase of
sea level by building a concrete （混凝土制的） seawall along the length
of the town. But in the many smaller coastal towns and villages in the
area， there simply aren’t the resources. Then， the government made a
project to protect some of the settlements by planting trees， but this has
had limited success. With the population relying on woods for building
and smoking-fish， few trees lived longer than the project， which ended
in 2021.
Sierra Leone has been identified as one of the world’s most weak
countries to the effects of climate change， despite having little influence
on global CO2 emissions （排放）. “Weak countries should be getting
some support from wealthy nations to strengthen their climate defenses
（防御），” says Gabriel Kpaka， the head of the country’s
Meteorological Agency. “But we’re not really seeing that.”
With global sea level expected to rise by anywhere between 1 and 3
feet by the end of the century， along with an increase in extreme weather
events， the experience of this West African island offers an understanding
of the possible future of countless other low-lying areas around the world.

Let’s discover some of the benefits that forests provide and consider
protecting them by reducing your carbon footprint！
Forests provide necessary resources
Just look around your house — how many things are made from wood
or other forest products？ Many common household items such as
furniture and books are also made from forest resources.Timber （木材）
is the primary material used to build homes in many parts of the world.13.
（ ）
Forests provide food and nutrition
14. （ ）.Forests are an excellent place to search for wild foods
such as berries， mushrooms， leaves， tubers， and nuts， and the wild
animals that live in forests are an important source of protein.
15. （ ）
Forests also provide income for millions of people worldwide.Many
types of jobs depend on forests and their resources， from woodcutters to
trekking （徒步旅行） guides to forest rangers who take care of forests.
Forests protect us from natural disasters
Trees and other plants help prevent landslides （滑坡） by holding
the soil in place and lessening the force of rain on the ground.16.
（ ）.As such， they act as a natural buffer （缓冲物）， protecting
coastal communities from the damaging effects of storms.
Forests are playgrounds for recreation

world’s national parks and other protected areas， many of which are
forested.From trekking to mountain biking， forests are an ideal place for

参考范文：
Dear schoolmates，
Recently， I took part in an activity called “No Plastic in Nature”
initiated by WWF， aiming to reduce the use of plastic products.
As we all know， plastic products are widely used from households，
hospitals to supermarkets， factories and so on.Useful as plastic products
are， overusing and improper treatment do great harm to our lives，
which results in a great waste of resources and heavy environment
pollution.Even worse， they are likely to pose a threat to public health.
Therefore， I call on every one of you to participate in this activity
and do your part to protect our homeland.
