Suggestions for Environmental Protection
in Our Hometown
With the development of our economy，the environment is worrying in our hometown．There are a lot of problems like natural disasters，global warming，pollution and so on．It is mainly because of people's behaviors．
It is high time for us to take some effective measures．First，our government should do something to reduce greenhouse gas emissions．Besides，we should form a habit of saving energy such as turning off the tap after it is used，using public transportation and recycling the waste．In addition，we can plant trees to beauty our hometown．
Protecting the environment is a duty for everyone．Let's spare no effort to make contributions to protecting the environment of our hometown．
Ⅲ．【参考范文】
Just when Lily was on the edge of giving up，she received a letter from her village．The letter，written by her mother，spoke of the village's pride in her accomplishments and how her paintings had inspired many in the community．It reminded Lily of the joy she found in capturing the simple beauty of her surroundings．Tears welled up in her eyes as she realized that her root was her greatest source of inspiration．The letter was a gentle reminder that her art was not just about success，but about expressing her love for the world she came from．With this renewed perspective，Lily felt a surge of motivation to continue creating．
With renewed determination，Lily returned to her canvas．She began to paint，not just with her hands but with her heart．The brushstrokes flowed effortlessly，capturing the essence of her village in vibrant hues．The empty canvas transformed into a masterpiece that spoke of peace，tranquility，and the power of perseverance．As she finished，Lily knew that she had not only created a piece of art，but also rediscovered her true purpose．She understood that her success was rooted in her love for her village and her unwavering belief in her talent．
能力提升
Ⅰ．【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了保护世界生物多样性，不仅要注重保护栖息地，也要关注热点地区的保护。
1．D [推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But in reality species exist only as part of ecosystems and cannot survive unless their ecosystems are protected along with the diversity they contain as much as possible．”可知，事实上，物种仅作为生态系统的一部分而存在，除非它们的生态系统以及它们所包含的多样性尽可能多地得到保护，否则它们无法生存。由此可判断，生态系统保护与多样性保护同样重要。故选D。]
2．C [词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“Though this has been a great improvement since 1962，when just 1，000 protected habitats were listed”和“that is endangering the world's biodiversity”可知，虽然受保护的栖息地增加，但仍然不足以阻止危及世界生物多样性的生态灭绝。所以画线词ecocide意为“生态灭绝”，C项“对栖息地的严重破坏”与其意思相近。故选C。]
3．A [细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The poor state of most biodiversity hotspots results directly from population growth and migration into these areas．”可知，造成生物多样性热点地区糟糕状况的直接原因是人口增长和人口的迁入。故选A。]
4．C [推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句可知，当地人了解到野生动物的价值，并真正从生态旅游中获益后，才会取得最好的效果。只有那时，他们才有机会看到保护热点地区的好处。由此可知，作者的观点是保护热点地区应该与当地人密切联系起来。故选C。]
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了土耳其农民种植的榛子面临椿象的大规模侵袭，科学家们正在考虑引进一外来物种来控制椿象。
5．C [推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Türkiye grows about 70%...the insects could affect up to 30% of Türkiye's hazelnuts．”可推断，椿象影响了土耳其榛子的产量，农民们可能会因为产量下滑，而收入减少。故选C。]
6．C [细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But in Europe and North America，there are no insects or other animals that naturally attack the stink bugs...allowed the insects to spread rapidly．”可知，椿象很适应欧洲、北美的环境。故选C。]
7．C [推理判断题。根据第四段中的“But scientists must study the insect carefully...foreign insects are what caused the problem to Türkiye's environment in the first place．”可推断，在引入武士黄蜂之前要考虑它会不会危害本土自然。故选C。]
8．C [推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But Türkiye's hazelnut farmers worry they may not have much time．”以及“This year is likely to be warmer...before the nuts are protected by their shells．”可推断，农民们企盼榛子长出坚硬的外壳抵御椿象。故选C。]

Ⅰ．阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分)
A
It is widely believed that biodiversity is promoted to save species．But in reality species exist only as part of ecosystems and cannot survive unless their ecosystems are protected along with the diversity they contain as much as possible．
Protecting habitats is important for keeping biodiversity．In 2003，over 102，000 habitats covering nearly 19 million square kilometres，or 11.5% of the world's land surface，were under some forms of protection．Though this has been a great improvement since 1962，when just 1，000 protected habitats were listed，it is still not considered enough to stop the ecocide that is endangering the world's biodiversity．
For a number of environmentalists，protecting the world's 25 biodiversity hotspots(热点地区)is critical to saving habitats and species．But many hotspots are endangered already，having lost up to three quarters of their original plants．
The poor state of most biodiversity hotspots results directly from population growth and migration into these areas．A study found that by the mid-1990s around 1.1 billion people had lived in these hotspots．Moreover，the annual population growth rate in these areas was 1.8%，higher than the global average of 1.4%.The PAI report concluded that human-related environmental changes would continue to put pressure on hotspots．Therefore，keeping biodiversity requires paying close attention to population size．
Protecting hotspots is not simply a matter of putting up fences or employing guards．The best results will be achieved when local people are educated about the value of wildlife，and actually gain a share of the benefits from eco-tourism．Only then do they have a chance to see the benefits of protecting hotspots．
1．What can we infer from paragraph 1？
A．The loss of any species can affect humans．
B．Endangered species are paid more attention to by humans．
C．Species can still survive when their ecosystems are destroyed．
D．Ecosystem protection is as important as diversity protection．
2．What does the underlined word“ecocide”in paragraph 2 mean？
A．Ecosystem protection．
B．Reduction in the number of species．
C．Serious damage to habitats．
D．Habitat protection．
3．What's the direct cause of the terrible state of the hotspots？
A．Population growth in hotspots．
B．Migration out of these areas．
C．Global warming．
D．The global average population growth rate．
4．What's the author's opinion on protecting the hotspots？
A．It's simple to carry out．
B．It leads to the increase in tourists．
C．It's closely linked to local people．
D．It suggests that the local people be well educated．
B
Scientists are warning that the world's supply of hazelnuts (榛子) is being threatened by huge numbers of stink bugs (椿象) attacking Türkiye．Because of their special taste，they are often combined with chocolate．Türkiye grows about 70% of the world's hazelnuts．People believe the insects could affect up to 30% of Türkiye's hazelnuts．
Since 2017，the country's hazelnut farmers have been battling with stink bugs which are originally from East Asia．They first appeared in Europe and North America in the late 1990s．Experts believe they arrived by accident in shipping containers coming from East Asia．But in Europe and North America，there are no insects or other animals that naturally attack the stink bugs．That，along with warm temperatures，has allowed the insects to spread rapidly．Female stink bugs can lay up to 400 eggs，which will become adults in a short time．These insects can feed on fruits and damage plants．
Farmers in Türkiye are presently using chemicals to kill the stink bugs，but this may not work well．Scientists are encouraging Türkiye's government to use other insects to control stink bugs．And it is recommended to introduce an insect from outside the country．
One insect that is being considered is the“samurai wasp (武士黄蜂)”．This wasp eats the stink bug eggs．But scientists must study the insect carefully to make sure it can be safely brought into the area．After all，foreign insects are what caused the problem to Türkiye's environment in the first place．
But Türkiye's hazelnut farmers worry they may not have much time．Last year，cold weather kept the stink bugs from coming out until the hazelnuts had already developed their hard outer shells．This year is likely to be warmer．The stink bugs may come out this year before the nuts are protected by their shells．
5．What challenge are farmers in Türkiye likely facing？
A．Difficulty in finding stink bugs．
B．Customers' changeable preference．
C．Less income from hazelnuts farming．
D．The government's stricter laws on agriculture．
6．What do we know about stink bugs in Europe and North America？
A．They like to eat fruits and other insects．
B．They differ a lot from those in East Asia．
C．They fit in well with the environment there．
D．They arrived there because of climate change．
7．What needs to be considered before introducing samurai wasps？
A．Whether they like to attack people．
B．Whether they're able to deal with stink bugs．
C．Whether they'll end up harming local nature．
D．Whether they can coexist with local insects in Türkiye．
8．What are farmers probably wishing for according to paragraph 5？
A．Temperatures rising fast．
B．Other crops with great earnings．
C．Hazelnuts with harder outer shells．
D．Other insects feeding on stink bugs．

In a small village set between rolling hills (连绵起伏的山丘)，there lived a young girl named Lily．Lily had always dreamed of becoming a painter，but in her village，most girls were expected to help their families with farming or housework．Despite this，Lily's parents recognized her talent and supported her passion for art．They saved to buy her brushes and paints，and Lily spent every spare moment practicing her craft．
One day，an artist passing through the village noticed Lily's paintings displayed proudly in her humble home．Impressed by her skill at such a young age，he encouraged Lily to follow her dream in the city，where opportunities for artists were plentiful．Lily's heart was filled with hope．With her parents' blessing and a backpack filled with her artwork，Lily set off on a journey to the busy city．
In the city，Lily faced many challenges．She lived in a narrow apartment and took odd jobs to make ends meet．Despite frustrations (挫折) and refusals，Lily persevered．She joined art classes，attended exhibitions，and sought out teachers who could guide her．Her determination caught the eye of a famous gallery owner who saw potential in her unique style．Lily's first exhibition was a success，selling a few pieces that earned her just enough to cover her rent．
As Lily's fame grew，so did her confidence．She painted scenes inspired by her village，showing its beauty and simplicity．Her paintings began to attract collectors and art enthusiasts from far and wide．Lily's dream of making a living through art was finally becoming a reality．
But success didn't protect Lily from self-doubt．The pressure to produce more，to meet expectations，weighed heavily on her shoulders．One day，Lily found herself staring at an empty canvas (画布)，unable to find inspiration．Frustrations started to appear，and doubts clouded her mind．Was she really good enough Could she maintain her success？
