Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
New discoveries and technological breakthroughs are made every year.Yet, as the information industry moves forward, many people in society are looking back to their roots in terms of the way they eat.A “locavore” movement has emerged in the United States.The movement supports eating foods grown locally and sustainably, rather than pre-packaged foods shipped from other parts of the world.
Experts hold that eating local has many merits, and is expected to become a trend featuring sustainability.Erin Barnett is the director of Local Harvest, a company that aims to help connect people to farms in their area.By eating local, she argues, people have a better and more personal understanding of the impact their food consumption has on the rest of the world.“There is a way of connecting the point, where eating locally is an act that raises our awareness of sustainable living,” Barnett says.
The United States’ agricultural output is one of the highest in the world, says Timothy Beach, a professor of geography and geoscience at the University of Texas in Austin, Texas.“There’s just no other place on Earth where the amount of input is so productive,” Beach says of American agriculture.“Nobody can cut off the food we need.”
“However, the US food system is not sustainable because of its dependency on fossil (化石) fuels”, says Beach.“Equipment used on extremely productive farms is quickly consuming Earth’s natural resources, particularly oil.”Additionally, the production of agricultural supplements (补充剂),such as fertilizer, uses large amounts of energy.
“The world has used close to half of the global oil supply,” Beach says, and the second half will be consumed at an even faster rate because of the growing population and economic development.Although many businesses are experimenting with wind, solar and biofuel, Beach says there’s nothing that we see on the horizon that can replace it.“There is no way on Earth we are using fossil fuels sustainably.Then we have to reconsider the impact of eating local,” he says.
1.What is the special focus of the “locavore” movement?
A.The development of information society.
B.The emergence of new discoveries.
C.The localization and sustainability of food.
D.The globalization of eating styles.
2.What is Erin Barnett’s opinion?

B.Raising the awareness of sustainability is an urgent issue currently.
C.Eating locally can quickly increase the growth of the local economy.
D.The diversity of things can greatly enrich the lives of local people.
3.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A.The agricultural weaknesses of the US.
B.The benefits of fossil fuels.
C.The most productive equipment on farms.
D.The consumption of local food.

D.No suitable energy can replace oil.

Washing behind the ears of a gentle Asian elephant at a conservation area outside of Kandy, Sri Lanka, I should have realized this wasn’t normal behaviour for a wild animal to allow me so close.I was also told the experience was cruelty-free and the money I had paid went towards conservation of the species.
But observing the mahout (驯象人) hit the poor creature with a stick and then chain it up after our wash in the river, I realized its life wasn’t quite as delightful as it had been made out to me.
Elephant-washing tourist attractions in Thailand have tripled in five years — despite conservationists saying the animals suffer in miserable conditions and go through a cruel training process to make them “safe” to handle.World Animal Protection (WAP) reviewed 357 venues holding more than 3,800 elephants across Thailand, India, Laos, Cambodia, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Malaysia.It found 2,390 elephants suffering in terrible conditions at 208 venues, with just 279 kept in high-welfare venues.
Conservationist Jane Goodall said,“Many of these elephants have been caught as youngsters from the wild, and others are raised in captivity (监禁), but all are separated from the love of their families.And then comes a cruel period when they are beaten into fear and submission (顺从).”
The report also said the number of tourist attractions offering chances to get close to the animals had tripled in the last five years.A recent survey from WAP found that over a third of people in Britain either didn’t know or thought elephant bathing or washing was acceptable.There were also three in ten who said they either didn’t know or thought elephant riding was acceptable and 12% who said the same for elephants performing in shows.
5.What did the author learn from her experience?
A.Elephants were gentle animals.
B.Elephants lived in terrible conditions.
C.Elephants and humans could get on well.
D.The mahout made money from tourists.
6.How did a mahout train an elephant?
A.He beat the animal until it followed his orders.
B.He raised the animal when it was very young.
C.He allowed tourists to get close to the animal.
D.He chained the animal up in the river to punish it.
7.What can we infer from the survey conducted by WAP?
A.Curiosity brought tourists close to the elephants.
B.Elephants have brought joy and happiness to the tourists worldwide.
C.Tourists like gentle elephants and are willing to ride on them.
D.It is time to raise people’s awareness of protecting wildlife.
8.What was the author’s attitude towards the elephants’ conditions?
A.Surprised. B.Disappointed.
C.Concerned. D.Embarrassed.
C
Wildlife conservation is the practice of protecting plant and animal species and their habitats.As part of the world’s ecosystems, wildlife provides balance and stability to nature’s processes.Wildlife conservation is aimed to ensure the survival of these species and educate people on living sustainably with other species.
The number of people has grown to more than eight billion today, and it continues to rapidly grow.The economic growth endangers the habitats and existence of various types of wildlife around the world, particularly animals and plants that may be displaced for land development, or used for food or other human purposes.This threat is at top of the list and means natural resources are being consumed faster than ever by the billions of people on the planet.The introduction of invasive species from other parts of the world is another threat to wildlife.Other threats include climate change, pollution, fishing and hunting.
International organizations like the World Wildlife Fund, Conservation International, Wildlife Conservation Society and the United Nations work to support global animal and habitat conservation on many different fronts.They work with the government to establish and protect public lands, like national parks and wildlife protection areas.They help write legislation (法规), such as the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973 in the United States, to protect various species.They work with law enforcement to charge those with wildlife crimes.They also promote biodiversity to support the growing human population while preserving existing species and habitats.
National Geographic Explorers, like conservation biologists Camille Coudrat and Titus Adhola, are working to slow the extinction of global species and protect global biodiversity and habitats.Environmental film-makers and photographers, like Thomas P.Peschak, are essential to conservation efforts as well, documenting and bringing attention to endangered wildlife all over the world.
9.Which is a goal of wildlife conservation according to the text?
A.To stop introducing invasive species.
B.To encourage harmonious coexistence.
C.To control the number of world people.
D.To increase the use of natural resources.
10.What is the biggest threat to wildlife?
A.Hunting. B.Human activity.
C.Pollution. D.Climate change.
11.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The activities of protection areas.
B.The importance of biodiversity promotion.
C.The relevant efforts of international organizations.
D.The great impact of wildlife crimes on ecosystems.
12.What does the author want to present in the last paragraph?
A.The necessity of legislation.
B.The wildlife conservation’s achievements.
C.The individuals’ contributions to the environment.
D.The statistics about the wildlife conservation efforts.

As university doors opened in September for a new year, an estimated six million people across the world took to the streets in a historic week of climate action.For freshers starting a new chapter at university, deciding how to live your life is vital. 13
What you put on your plate matters.Meat and dairy consumption results in excessive (过度的) land use, industrial emissions, water use and deforestation. 14 Therefore, a meat-free diet has been recommended as the “single-biggest way” an individual can reduce their impact on the planet.
15 Keeping your clothes for as long as possible has more than just monetary value.In the UK, clothing has the fourth-largest environmental impact after housing, transport and food.So recycle your clothes or mend them.
Change your habits. 16 There are simple ways you can change your habits to live sustainably.Wash your clothes at a lower temperature, and choose a bamboo toothbrush or more eco-friendly sanitary (卫生的) products.If you’re planning a weekend away with friends, try to travel by train or bus.
Individual actions matter, as they demonstrate commitment and provide an alternative to how we can live.But campaigning is important, too. 17 If you don’t know where or how to start, see if there are any societies at your university.Students of the Fossil Free campaign, for example, have brought on huge changes by calling on their institutions to stop using fossil fuels.
A.Forget fast fashion.
B.Behave yourself in public.
C.While shopping, turn up with your own container.
D.University campus can be a perfect place for this.
E.Cutting out meat is an easy way to reduce your carbon footprint.
F.Here are some ideas about how you can be sustainable as a student.
G.For freshers, living alone means doing your own washing, cooking and cleaning.

世界上最棒的工作
你愿意在一座岛上生活六个月,并照看大堡礁吗?这份工作时间灵活,提供住宿。你的主要职责包括探索大堡礁的各个岛屿,探寻当地的自然资源。你需要通过每周更新博客、创建照片日志和拍摄视频的方式来反馈工作成果;你还需要通过报纸、杂志和电视采访等宣传大堡礁。
这则岛屿管理员的招聘广告吸引了全世界的兴趣。这其实是一种绝妙的手段,既突出了大堡礁的重要性,又强调了大堡礁需要人类保护。
大堡礁位于澳大利亚东北部近海处,是地球上最大的生物。大堡礁整体面积接近日本的国土面积,甚至从外太空都能看得到它。大堡礁有2,500万年的历史,由生长在死珊瑚上的活珊瑚组成。它是许多鸟类和海洋生物的栖息地。但如今,这一独特又脆弱的区域正在遭受污染和气候变化的威胁。
要想得到这份工作,应聘者需要拍摄一段短视频,展示自己对大堡礁的了解程度。另外,应聘者还需要证明为何自己是这个职位的最佳人选。在成千上万名应聘者中,有11人被选中,其中包括一名年轻的中国姑娘。最终,来自英国的本·索撒尔获得了这份工作。
本在做岛屿管理员期间做了很多事情。除了发布博客、拍照片和写关于大堡礁的文章,本还多次在电视上露面号召保护大堡礁,并且担任过国家地理频道的主持人。在那之后,本把自己的经历写成了一本书。本后来开玩笑说,这份工作的招聘启事上应该写“世界上最繁忙的工作”,而不是“最棒的”!
不管这是一个真正的工作机会,还是一场吸引眼球的营销活动,其实都不重要。最重要的是,全世界都认识到了这片大海的美丽。而且,人们还意识到环境存在于微妙的平衡之中,也知道了人类能够且必须采取什么行动来保护大堡礁。只有如此,大堡礁才能继续作为野生动物的安全栖息地以及每年数百万游客梦寐以求的旅游目的地。

大堡礁位于澳大利亚东北部近海处,是地球上最大的生物。大堡

本在做岛屿管理员期间做了很多事情。除了发布博客、拍照片和
写关于大堡礁的文章,本还多次在电视上露面号召保护大堡礁,并且
担任过国家地理频道的主持人。在那之后,本把自己的经历写成了一

不管这是一个真正的工作机会,还是一场吸引眼球的营销活动,

且,人们还意识到环境存在于微妙的平衡之中,也知道了人类能够且

New discoveries and technological breakthroughs are made every
year.Yet, as the information industry moves forward, many people
in society are looking back to their roots in terms of the way they eat.A
“locavore” movement has emerged in the United States.The movement
supports eating foods grown locally and sustainably, rather than pre-
packaged foods shipped from other parts of the world.
Experts hold that eating local has many merits, and is expected
to become a trend featuring sustainability.Erin Barnett is the director
of Local Harvest, a company that aims to help connect people to
farms in their area.By eating local, she argues, people have a better
and more personal understanding of the impact their food
consumption has on the rest of the world.“There is a way of connecting
the point, where eating locally is an act that raises our awareness of
sustainable living,” Barnett says.
The United States’ agricultural output is one of the highest in the
world, says Timothy Beach, a professor of geography and
geoscience at the University of Texas in Austin, Texas.“There’s just
no other place on Earth where the amount of input is so productive,”
Beach says of American agriculture.“Nobody can cut off the food we
need.”
“However, the US food system is not sustainable because of its
dependency on fossil (化石) fuels”, says Beach.“Equipment used
on extremely productive farms is quickly consuming Earth’s natural
resources, particularly oil.”Additionally, the production of
agricultural supplements (补充剂),such as fertilizer, uses large
amounts of energy.
“The world has used close to half of the global oil supply,”
Beach says, and the second half will be consumed at an even faster
rate because of the growing population and economic
development.Although many businesses are experimenting with
wind, solar and biofuel, Beach says there’s nothing that we see on
the horizon that can replace it.“There is no way on Earth we are using
fossil fuels sustainably.Then we have to reconsider the impact of eating
local,” he says.

Washing behind the ears of a gentle Asian elephant at a
conservation area outside of Kandy, Sri Lanka, I should have
realized this wasn’t normal behaviour for a wild animal to allow me so
close.I was also told the experience was cruelty-free and the money I
had paid went towards conservation of the species.
But observing the mahout (驯象人) hit the poor creature with
a stick and then chain it up after our wash in the river, I realized its
life wasn’t quite as delightful as it had been made out to me.
Elephant-washing tourist attractions in Thailand have tripled in
five years — despite conservationists saying the animals suffer in
miserable conditions and go through a cruel training process to make
them “safe” to handle.World Animal Protection (WAP) reviewed
357 venues holding more than 3,800 elephants across Thailand,
India, Laos, Cambodia, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Malaysia.It
found 2,390 elephants suffering in terrible conditions at 208
venues, with just 279 kept in high-welfare venues.
Conservationist Jane Goodall said,“Many of these elephants
have been caught as youngsters from the wild, and others are raised
in captivity (监禁), but all are separated from the love of their
families.And then comes a cruel period when they are beaten into fear
and submission (顺从).”
The report also said the number of tourist attractions offering
chances to get close to the animals had tripled in the last five years.A
recent survey from WAP found that over a third of people in Britain
either didn’t know or thought elephant bathing or washing was
acceptable.There were also three in ten who said they either didn’t
know or thought elephant riding was acceptable and 12% who said the
same for elephants performing in shows.

Wildlife conservation is the practice of protecting plant and
animal species and their habitats.As part of the world’s ecosystems,
wildlife provides balance and stability to nature’s processes.Wildlife
conservation is aimed to ensure the survival of these species and
educate people on living sustainably with other species.
The number of people has grown to more than eight billion
today, and it continues to rapidly grow.The economic growth
endangers the habitats and existence of various types of wildlife
around the world, particularly animals and plants that may be
displaced for land development, or used for food or other human
purposes.This threat is at top of the list and means natural resources
are being consumed faster than ever by the billions of people on the
planet.The introduction of invasive species from other parts of the
world is another threat to wildlife.Other threats include climate
change, pollution, fishing and hunting.
International organizations like the World Wildlife Fund,
Conservation International, Wildlife Conservation Society and the
United Nations work to support global animal and habitat
conservation on many different fronts.They work with the government
to establish and protect public lands, like national parks and wildlife
protection areas.They help write legislation (法规), such as the
Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973 in the United States, to
protect various species.They work with law enforcement to charge
those with wildlife crimes.They also promote biodiversity to support
the growing human population while preserving existing species and
habitats.
National Geographic Explorers, like conservation biologists
Camille Coudrat and Titus Adhola,are working to slow the extinction
of global species and protect global biodiversity and
habitats.Environmental film-makers and photographers, like
Thomas P. Peschak, are essential to conservation efforts as well,
documenting and bringing attention to endangered wildlife all over the
world.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
As university doors opened in September for a new year, an
estimated six million people across the world took to the streets in a
historic week of climate action.For freshers starting a new chapter at
university, deciding how to live your life is vital. 13
What you put on your plate matters.Meat and dairy consumption
results in excessive (过度的) land use, industrial emissions,
water use and deforestation. 14 Therefore, a meat-free diet has
been recommended as the “single-biggest way” an individual can
reduce their impact on the planet.
15 Keeping your clothes for as long as possible has more than
just monetary value.In the UK, clothing has the fourth-largest
environmental impact after housing, transport and food.So recycle
your clothes or mend them.
Change your habits. 16 There are simple ways you can change
your habits to live sustainably.Wash your clothes at a lower
temperature, and choose a bamboo toothbrush or more eco-friendly
sanitary (卫生的) products.If you’re planning a weekend away with
friends, try to travel by train or bus.
Individual actions matter, as they demonstrate commitment and
provide an alternative to how we can live.But campaigning is
important, too. 17 If you don’t know where or how to start, see
if there are any societies at your university.Students of the Fossil Free
campaign, for example, have brought on huge changes by calling
on their institutions to stop using fossil fuels.
A. Forget fast fashion.
B. Behave yourself in public.
C. While shopping, turn up with your own container.
D. University campus can be a perfect place for this.
E. Cutting out meat is an easy way to reduce your carbon footprint.
F. Here are some ideas about how you can be sustainable as a student.
G. For freshers, living alone means doing your own washing,
cooking and cleaning.
