The greening of planes, trains and automobiles
Moving goods and people around the world is responsible for a large part of global CO2 emissions(排放). As the world races to decarbonize everything, it faces particular problems with transportation—which accounts for about a quarter of our energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. Here's the breakdown of the emissions in 2018 for different modes of transport.
　　The fuels for transport need to be not just green, cheap and powerful, but also lightweight and safe enough to be carried around. Each mode of transport has its specific fuel needs. Much is still to be settled, but here are some of the solutions to get us going green.
This energy transition(变革) is global, and the amount of renewable energy the world will need is “a little bit mind-blowing,” says mechanical engineer Keith Wipke at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. It's estimated that the global demand for electricity could more than double by 2050. Fortunately, analyses suggest that renewables are up to the task. “We need to speed up the development of green energy, and it will all get used,” says Wipke.
1. What percentage of global transport emissions did road vehicles account for in 2018
A. 11.6%.　B. 45.1%.　C. 74.5%.　D. 86.1%.
2. Which mode of transport can go green comparatively easily
A. Planes.　B. Trucks.　C. Trains.　D. Ships.
3. What does Wipke suggest regarding energy transition
A. Limiting fuel consumption.　 B. Putting more effort into renewables.
C. Improving energy efficiency.　 D. Making electricity more affordable.

　　From an early age, Edward Norton was taught what protecting the environment really requires. His father, an environmental lawyer, founded the Grand Canyon Trust and his grandfather was a pioneer in low-income housing policy.
Norton built his own career in a different field, becoming one of his generation's most respected actors. When Norton first became famous, he concluded that he wasn't interested in ordinary celebrity ambassador work. “I am not interested in being some weak sauce kind of spokesperson,” he says. “It's not that I don't believe those things are important, but that held no nourishment for me.”
What does nourish Norton is his work with a Kenya-based organization called the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust, which helps the Maasai people to make a living from their land through innovative means. One project that Norton is particularly proud of channels profits from the sale of carbon offsets (碳补偿) to local Maasai communities who use that money to support health, education, and conservation initiatives.
One challenge that concerns Norton would be familiar to his father and grandfather: raising funds. This led Norton to a realization. “We can't have the conservation movement depend only on donor-funded charity,” he says. “It not only can't scale; it's fundamentally unstable.”
A new model is needed. Norton and his partners argue that tourist dollars being spent in fragile places ought to remain in-country—or better yet, in-community. Norton and his team have started a company called Conservation Equity that will invest in tourism in critical places and will reinvest its profits locally, instead of paying distant shareholders.
Norton is optimistic about the model's prospects. He says, “I think what we are doing has no previous example to follow. The needs of people are not going to take a lower priority to the spiritual value of nature. If protecting and restoring nature can't produce a stronger and more reliable economy, the effort will fail.”
1. How does Norton feel about being a typical celebrity spokesperson
A. Enthusiastic.　B. Tolerant.　C. Dissatisfied.　D. Confused.
2. What is Norton's main concern about the conservation movement
A. Expansion of its public influence.
B. Lack of a stable source of funding.
C. Failure to meet the needs of local communities.
D. Repetition of the faults of previous generations.
3. What is special about Norton's new model of conservation
A. Downplaying the value of nature.
B. Raising funds from distant donors.
C. Focusing on local children's education.
D. Benefiting local economic development.
4. Which of the following words best describe Norton
A. Confident and honest.　 B. Generous and talented.
C. Practical and pioneering.　 D. Ambitious and conventional.

Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help
Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. 1.　　　 Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today's world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience.
Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they're special. With so many online posts featuring the same places, it's easy to feel like you're missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you. 2.　　
Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it's actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. 3.　　　 Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination's lesser-known sights
4.　　　 Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour. You'll compete with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower.
Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege(荣幸). Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place. 5.　　　 You may be amazed how much closer you'll feel to the people there.
A. Visit during off-peak times.
B. So, should we stop traveling
C. Travel for you and no one else.
D. Can overtourism be avoided then
E. You can still find relatively undiscovered places.
F. You'll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it.
G. Consider giving back to the communities you're visiting.

　　Producing and consuming clothing is a major source of global CO2 emissions (排放). The fashion industry is estimated to account for 8% to 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions—more than all international flights and sea shipping combined. From growing cotton to dyeing (染色) fabrics, every step in the clothing supply chain leaves a carbon footprint. Much of the impact comes from energy-intensive industrial processes. Here's a breakdown of the emissions in 2018 across different stages of clothing production.
　　Making clothes more sustainable isn't just about cutting emissions—it's also about choosing the right materials. Fabrics need to be not only comfortable and affordable, but also long-lasting and low-impact. Each material has its own challenges and environmental cost. While no perfect solution exists yet, a range of alternatives are emerging.
　　This shift toward sustainable fashion is global, and the extent of transformation needed is “unlike anything we've seen before,” says Stella McCartney, a pioneer in ethical (道德上的) fashion design. It's estimated that fashion consumption could grow by 60% by 2030, putting even more pressure on resources. Still, experts believe that circular design and material innovation can drive real change, keeping pace with the sweeping trend of energy conservation and emission reduction. “The future of fashion is restorative and regenerative by design,” says McCartney.
1. Which stage released the greatest amount of greenhouse gases in 2018
A. Fibre production.　 B. Yarn preparation.
C. Fabric production.　 D. Dyeing and finishing.
2. What do these alternatives have in common
A. They are animal-friendly.　 B. They come from plant sources.
C. They aim to lessen environmental impact.　 D. They require less energy during production.
3. What does McCartney stress regarding the future of fashion
A. It is to heal and renew the environment.　 B. It is to reduce resource usage.
C. It is to meet different people's needs.　 D. It is to encourage conscious consumption.

　　Does your soul die a little every time you throw away unused food Mine does. Maybe that feeling comes from growing up in South Africa, where the phrase “there are children starving in Africa” was more of an uncomfortable reminder of fact than a prayer at dinner time.
Food waste is a growing concern in the restaurant, supermarket, and supply chain industries. From technological solutions to educational campaigns, food producers and sellers are looking for ways to use more of what we're already growing. But last month, one popular New York City restaurant tried a different way:It changed its menu to exclusively(专门) offer food that would otherwise be thrown away.
For two weeks in March, Greenwich Village's Blue Hill restaurant was renamed wastED, and served items like fried skate cartilage, a juice pulp burger, and a dumpster diver's vegetable salad. Each dish was tailor-made to raise awareness regarding food waste.
A study by the Food Waste Alliance determined that the average restaurant generates 33 pounds of food waste for every $1,000 in revenue(收入), and of that waste only 15.7% is donated or recycled. Up to 84.3% is simply thrown out. Restaurants like Silo in the UK have experimented with zero-waste systems, but wastED took the concept to its logical conclusion.
It should be noted that none of the items on wastED's menu was technically made from garbage. Instead, all the ingredients(配料) used were examples of meat cuts and produce that most restaurants would never consider serving. Things like kale ribs, fish collars, rejected sweet potatoes, and cucumber butts were all re-appropriated and, with the help of a number of good chefs, turned into excellent cuisine.
Though wastED received enthusiastic reviews, it was designed from the start as a short-lived experiment; Blue Hill has since returned to its regular menu. Nevertheless, it serves as a reminder that there are many ways to address problems of sustainability, and that you can make an amazing meal out of almost anything.
1. What can be inferred about the author's early life
A. He witnessed food shortage.　 B. He enjoyed the local cuisine.
C. He donated food to Africans.　 D. He helped to cook at home.
2. Why did Blue Hill carry out the experiment
A. To customize dishes for guests.　 B. To make the public aware of food waste.
C. To test a food processing method.　 D. To improve the UK's zero-waste systems.
3. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. Why the ingredients were used.　 B. Which dishes were best liked.
C. What the dishes were made of.　 D. Where the ingredients were bought.
4. What can we learn about wastED
A. It has ended as planned.　 B. It is creating new jobs.
C. It has regained popularity.　 D. It is criticized by top chefs.

　　Microplastics have become a common source of pollution across the Earth—they have settled in the deep sea and on the Himalayas, stuck inside volcanic rocks, filled the stomachs of seabirds and even fallen in fresh Antarctic snow. They are even appearing inside humans.
Now, new research suggests that a simple, cheap measure may significantly reduce the level of microplastics in water from your tap(水龙头): boiling and filtering(过滤) it. In a study published Wednesday in Environmental Science & Technology Letters, researchers from China found that boiling tap water for just five minutes—then filtering it after it cools—could remove at least 80 percent of its microplastics.
Crucially, this process relies on the water containing enough calcium carbonate(碳酸钙) to trap the plastics. In the study, boiling hard water containing 300 milligrams of calcium carbonate led to an almost 90 percent drop in plastics. But in samples with less than 60 milligrams of calcium carbonate, boiling reduced the level of plastics by just 25 percent. Additionally, the research didn't include all types of plastics. The team focused only on three common types—polystyrene, polyethylene and polypropylene—and they didn't study other chemicals previously found in water such as vinyl chloride.
Still, the findings show a potential path forward for reducing microplastic exposure—a task that's becoming increasingly difficult. Even bottled water, scientists found earlier this year, contains 10 to 1,000 times more microplastics than originally thought.
Scientists are still trying to determine how harmful microplastics are—but what they do know has raised concerns. The new study suggests boiling tap water could be a tool to limit intake. “The way they demonstrated how microplastics were trapped through the boiling process was nice,” Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay, an environmental engineer at the University of Glasgow in Scotland who was not involved in the research, tells New Scientist. “We should be looking into upgrading drinking water treatment plants so they remove microplastics.”

Swap, Don't Shop!
You keep hearing about recycling, right But it doesn't end with bottles, cans, and paper. Clothing takes a huge amount of natural resources(资源)to make, and buying loads of new clothing(or throwing out old clothing)is not healthy for the environment. So what to do with all those perfectly-good-but-you're-maybe-a-little-sick-of-them clothes piled on your bedroom floor 1.　　　. It's the best way to get rid of your used clothes, score clothes from your friends, and have a party all at the same time.
A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes, the organization of the event, and, obviously, how much fun is had. It's really easy to do! Here are a few pointers.
Invite 5-10 people so you have a nice selection. 2.　　　, and there may not be enough things to choose from;more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.
3.　　　. They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their “new” clothes home.
Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room. 4.　　　. Place a few mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on. One of the ground rules of the swap should be that everyone must try on the clothes before they take them—things always look different when you put them on.
Set a starting time. Maybe you say “go,” or turn on a certain song, or whatever. 5.　　　. And don't forget to put out some cookies and fruits. Remember, it's a party!
　　A. Less people than that

For twenty years, the internet has been my second home while communicating science. Recently, I came across an image: a crying Earth surrounded by fallen trees, declaring, “No intelligent species would destroy their own home.” This image troubled me deeply. I refuse to let my eight-year-old son believe humans are stupid or evil—because it's obviously untrue. But I often find myself quite lonely. I'm wondering if, perhaps, there are other folks out there who feel the same as I do.
We didn't cause climate change through being stupid, but through being extremely smart. Our ancestors burned coal to solve urgent problems: growing more food, heating and lighting homes. We want to provide a good life for ourselves and our children. The results have been astonishing. In the ?U.S.? in 1895, one quarter of people died before age five. Today it's under 1 percent, and we will keep pushing until it hits zero. Imagine the essays Ben Franklin or Mark Twain would write about this level of advancement. How would they keep tears from their eyes if they saw what we've achieved
So much of that achievement has been based on the fossil fuels we've burned to generate it, whether coal, natural gas or oil. We've learned that this harms both the environment and people, and to our credit we aren't always bad at addressing this. It was not long ago that London cleaned its smoke-blackened air. When rain becomes acidic, the world changes its policies. When harm is done locally, we tend to be pretty good at cleaning things up. Here's where I feel hope: we have already done this, and we know it is possible.
I don't want my son growing up thinking that his species is in some way evil. I want him thinking humans are problem solvers, and whatever strategies we take to fix global warming will create more new problems, too. This is a pretty normal story for intelligent species.
1. How did the author feel seeing the picture online
A. Disturbed. B. Ashamed. C. Frightened. D. Confused.
2. What is implied by mentioning Ben Franklin and Mark Twain
A. The warning of the warming Earth. B. The progress in society.
C. The praise for human modesty. D. The demand for greener energy.
3. Why does the author feel hopeful about humans
A. We will make more policies. B. We have discovered more fossil fuels.
C. We highly value the role of the earth. D. We can repair the damage to the environment.
4. What does the underlined word “story” refer to in the last paragraph
A. The cycle of causing and tackling problems. B. The ability to create a bright future.
C. The evil nature of human beings. D. The positive attitude to life.

　　In the race to document the species on Earth before they go extinct, researchers and citizen scientists have collected billions of records. Today, most records of biodiversity are often in the form of photos, videos, and other digital records. Though they are useful for detecting shifts in the number and variety of species in an area, a new Stanford study has found that this type of record is not perfect.
“With the rise of technology it is easy for people to make observations of different species with the aid of a mobile application,” said Barnabas Daru, who is lead author of the study and assistant professor of biology in the Stanford School of Humanities and Sciences. “These observations now outnumber the primary data that comes from physical specimens(标本), and since we are increasingly using observational data to investigate how species are responding to global change, I wanted to know: Are they usable ”
Using a global dataset of 1.9 billion records of plants, insects, birds, and animals, Daru and his team tested how well these data represent actual global biodiversity patterns.
“We were particularly interested in exploring the aspects of sampling that tend to bias(使有偏差) data, like the greater likelihood of a citizen scientist to take a picture of a flowering plant instead of the grass right next to it,” said Daru.
Their study revealed that the large number of observation-only records did not lead to better global coverage. Moreover, these data are biased and favor certain regions, time periods, and species. This makes sense because the people who get observational biodiversity data on mobile devices are often citizen scientists recording their encounters with species in areas nearby. These data are also biased toward certain species with attractive or eye-catching features.
What can we do with the imperfect datasets of biodiversity
“Quite a lot,” Daru explained. “Biodiversity apps can use our study results to inform users of oversampled areas and lead them to places—and even species—that are not well-sampled. To improve the quality of observational data, biodiversity apps can also encourage users to have an expert confirm the identification of their uploaded image.”
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
1. What do we know about the records of species collected now
A. They are becoming outdated.　 B. They are mostly in electronic form.
C. They are limited in number.　 D. They are used for public exhibition.
2. What does Daru's study focus on
A. Threatened species.　 B. Physical specimens.
C. Observational data.　 D. Mobile applications.
3. What has led to the biases according to the study
A. Mistakes in data analysis.　 B. Poor quality of uploaded pictures.
C. Improper way of sampling.　 D. Unreliable data collection devices.
4. What is Daru's suggestion for biodiversity apps
A. Review data from certain areas.　 B. Hire experts to check the records.
C. Confirm the identity of the users.　 D. Give guidance to citizen scientists.

　　Like most of us, I try to be mindful of food that goes to waste. The arugula(芝麻菜) was to make a nice green salad, rounding out a roast chicken dinner. But I ended up working late. Then friends called with a dinner invitation. I stuck the chicken in the freezer. But as days passed, the arugula went bad. Even worse, I had unthinkingly bought way too much;I could have made six salads with what I threw out.
In a world where nearly 800 million people a year go hungry, “food waste goes against the moral grain,” as Elizabeth Royte writes in this month's cover story. It's jaw-dropping how much perfectly good food is thrown away—from “ugly” (but quite eatable) vegetables rejected by grocers to large amounts of uneaten dishes thrown into restaurant garbage cans.
Producing food that no one eats wastes the water, fuel, and other resources used to grow it. That makes food waste an environmental problem. In fact, Royte writes, “if food waste were a country, it would be the third largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world.”
If that's hard to understand, let's keep it as simple as the arugula at the back of my refrigerator. Mike Curtin sees my arugula story all the time—but for him, it's more like 12 boxes of donated strawberries nearing their last days. Curtin is CEO of DC Central Kitchen in Washington, D.C., which recovers food and turns it into healthy meals. Last year it recovered more than 807,500 pounds of food by taking donations and collecting blemished(有瑕疵的) produce that otherwise would have rotted(腐烂) in fields. And the strawberries Volunteers will wash, cut, and freeze or dry them for use in meals down the road.
　　Such methods seem obvious, yet so often we just don't think. “Everyone can play a part in reducing waste, whether by not purchasing more food than necessary in your weekly shopping or by asking restaurants to not include the side dish you won't eat,” Curtin says.
1. What does the author want to show by telling the arugula story
A. We pay little attention to food waste.　B. We waste food unintentionally at times.
C. We waste more vegetables than meat.　D. We have good reasons for wasting food.
2. What is a consequence of food waste according to the text
A. Moral decline.　 B. Environmental harm.
C. Energy shortage.　 D. Worldwide starvation.

A. It produces kitchen equipment.　 B. It turns rotten arugula into clean fuel.
C. It helps local farmers grow fruits.　 D. It makes meals out of unwanted food.
4. What does Curtin suggest people do
A. Buy only what is needed.　 B. Reduce food consumption.
C. Go shopping once a week.　 D. Eat in restaurants less often.

　　You've heard that plastic is polluting the oceans—between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year. But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does. He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage, forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.
At the beginning of the year, the artist built a piece called “Strawpocalypse,”a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves, frozen mid-crash. Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups, the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source(来源) of plastic pollution, but they've recently come under fire because most people don't need them to drink with and, because of their small size and weight, they cannot be recycled. Every straw that's part of Von Wong's artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes. Once the drink is gone,the straw will take centuries to disappear.
In a piece from 2018,Von Wong wanted to illustrate(说明) a specific statistic: Every 60 seconds,a truckload's worth of plastic enters the ocean. For this work, titled “Truckload of Plastic,” Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic, which were then tied together to look like they'd been dumped(倾倒) from a truck all at once.
Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.
1. What are Von Wong's artworks intended for
A. Beautifying the city he lives in.　 B. Introducing eco-friendly products.
C. Drawing public attention to plastic waste.　 D. Reducing garbage on the beach.
2. Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3
A. To show the difficulty of their recycling.　 B. To explain why they are useful.
C. To voice his views on modern art.　 D. To find a substitute for them.
3. What effect would “Truckload of Plastic” have on viewers
A. Calming.　 B. Disturbing.
C. Refreshing.　 D. Challenging.
4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Artists' Opinions on Plastic Safety

　　I have worked as a keeper at the National Zoo for 11 years. Spot and Stripe are the first tiger cubs(幼兽) that have ever been born here. Globally, a third of Sumatran cubs in zoos don't make it to adulthood, so I decided to give them round-the-clock care at home.
I've got two children—the younger one, Kynan, was extremely happy about the tigers arriving—but all of us really looked forward to being part of their lives and watching them grow. I wasn't worried about bringing them into my home with my wife and kids. These were cubs. They weighed about 2.5 kg and were so small that there was absolutely no risk.
As they grew more mobile, we let them move freely around the house during the day, but when we were asleep we had to contain them in a large room, otherwise they'd get up to mischief. We'd come down in the morning to find they'd turned the room upside down, and left it looking like a zoo.
Things quickly got very intense due to the huge amount of energy required to look after them. There were some tough times and I just felt extremely tired. I was grateful that my family was there to help. We had to have a bit of a production line going, making up “tiger milk”, washing baby bottles, and cleaning the floors.
When Spot and Stripe were four months old, they were learning how to open doors and jump fences, and we knew it really was time for them to go. It was hard for us to finally part with them. For the first few days, Kynan was always a bit disappointed that the cubs weren't there.
I'm not sad about it. I'm hands-on with them every day at the zoo, and I do look back very fondly on the time that we had them.

　　When the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North America, the skies and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife. Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely. Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources. Millions of waterfowl(水禽) were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat(栖息地).
In 1934,with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act (Act), an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory(迁徙的)waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their survival. Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J.N. “Ding” Darling, a political cartoonist from Des Moines, Iowa, who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey. Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources.
About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System—a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come. Since 1934, better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat. Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated.
1. What was a cause of the waterfowl population decline in North America
A. Loss of wetlands.　 B. Popularity of water sports.
C. Pollution of rivers.　 D. Arrival of other wild animals.
2. What does the underlined word “decimate” mean in the first paragraph
A. Acquire.　B. Export.
C. Destroy.　D. Distribute.
3. What is a direct result of the Act passed in 1934
A. The stamp price has gone down.
B. The migratory birds have flown away.
C. The hunters have stopped hunting.
D. The government has collected money.
4. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The Federal Duck Stamp Story　 B. The National Wildlife Refuge System
C. The Benefits of Saving Waterfowl　 D. The History of Migratory Bird Hunting

　　As cities balloon with growth, access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find. If you're lucky, there might be a pocket park near where you live, but it's unusual to find places in a city that are relatively wild.
Past research has found health and wellness benefits of nature for humans, but a new study shows that wildness in urban areas is extremely important for human well-being.
The research team focused on a large urban park. They surveyed several hundred park-goers, asking them to submit a written summary online of a meaningful interaction they had with nature in the park. The researchers then examined these submissions, coding(编码) experiences into different categories. For example, one participant's experience of “We sat and listened to the waves at the beach for a while” was assigned the categories “sitting at beach” and “listening to waves.”
Across the 320 submissions, a pattern of categories the researchers call a “nature language” began to emerge. After the coding of all submissions, half a dozen categories were noted most often as important to visitors. These include encountering wildlife, walking along the edge of water, and following an established trail.
Naming each nature experience creates a usable language, which helps people recognize and take part in the activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them. For example, the experience of walking along the edge of water might be satisfying for a young professional on a weekend hike in the park. Back downtown during a workday, they can enjoy a more domestic form of this interaction by walking along a fountain on their lunch break.
“We're trying to generate a language that helps bring the human-nature interactions back into our daily lives. And for that to happen, we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it,” said Peter Kahn, a senior author of the study.
1. What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text
A. Pocket parks are now popular.　 B. Wild nature is hard to find in cities.
C. Many cities are overpopulated.　 D. People enjoy living close to nature.
2. Why did the researchers code participant submissions into categories
A. To compare different types of park-goers.　B. To explain why the park attracts tourists.
C. To analyze the main features of the park.　D. To find patterns in the visitors' summaries.
3. What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 5
A. Walking is the best way to gain access to nature.
B. Young people are too busy to interact with nature.
C. The same nature experience takes different forms.
D. The nature language enhances work performance.
4. What should be done before we can interact with nature according to Kahn
A. Language study.　 B. Environmental conservation.
C. Public education.　 D. Intercultural communication.

　　According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed(安装) has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them.
Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven't given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they'll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.
“Solar projects need to be good neighbors,” says Jordan Macknick,the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment (InSPIRE) project. “They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development,which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators (传粉昆虫).
Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities—and now there are guidelines for solar farms.
Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. “These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that's going on in the landscape,” says Macknick.
1. What do solar developers often ignore
A. The decline in the demand for solar energy.
B. The negative impact of installing solar panels.
C. The rising labor cost of building solar farms.
D. The most recent advances in solar technology.
2. What does InSPIRE aim to do
A. Improve the productivity of local farms.　 B. Invent new methods for controlling weeds.
C. Make solar projects environmentally friendly.　 D. Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas.
3. What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4
A. To conserve pollinators.　 B. To restrict solar development.
C. To diversify the economy.　 D. To ensure the supply of energy.
4. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay　 B. Solar Energy: Hope for the Future
C. InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture　 D. Solar Farms: A New Development

　　I was invited to a cookout on an old friend's farm in western Washington. I parked my car outside the farm and walked past a milking house which had apparently not been used in many years. A noise at a window caught my attention, so I entered it. It was a hummingbird(蜂鸟), desperately trying to escape. She was covered in spider-webs(蛛网) and was barely able to move her wings. She ceased her struggle the instant I picked her up.
With the bird in my cupped hand, I looked around to see how she had gotten in. The broken window glass was the likely answer. I stuffed a piece of cloth into the hole and took her outside, closing the door securely behind me.
When I opened my hand, the bird did not fly away; she sat looking at me with her bright eyes. I removed the sticky spider-webs that covered her head and wings. Still, she made no attempt to fly. Perhaps she had been struggling against the window too long and was too tired Or too thirsty
As I carried her up the blackberry-lined path toward my car where I kept a water bottle, she began to move. I stopped, and she soon took wing but did not immediately fly away. Hovering(悬停), she approached within six inches of my face. For a very long moment, this tiny creature looked into my eyes, turning her head from side to side. Then she flew quickly out of sight.
During the cookout, I told my hosts about the hummingbird incident. They promised to fix the window. As I was departing, my friends walked me to my car. I was standing by the car when a hummingbird flew to the center of our group and began hovering. She turned from person to person until she came to me. She again looked directly into my eyes, then let out a squeaking call and was gone. For a moment, all were speechless. Then someone said, “She must have come to say good-bye.”

The greening of planes, trains and automobiles
Moving goods and people around the world is responsible for a large part of global CO2 emissions(排放). As the world races to decarbonize everything, it faces particular problems with transportation—which accounts for about a quarter of our energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. Here's the breakdown of the emissions in 2018 for different modes of transport.
　　The fuels for transport need to be not just green, cheap and powerful, but also lightweight and safe enough to be carried around. Each mode of transport has its specific fuel needs. Much is still to be settled, but here are some of the solutions to get us going green.
This energy transition(变革) is global, and the amount of renewable energy the world will need is “a little bit mind-blowing,” says mechanical engineer Keith Wipke at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. It's estimated that the global demand for electricity could more than double by 2050. Fortunately, analyses suggest that renewables are up to the task. “We need to speed up the development of green energy, and it will all get used,” says Wipke.
1. What percentage of global transport emissions did road vehicles account for in 2018
A. 11.6%.　B. 45.1%.　C. 74.5%.　D. 86.1%.
2. Which mode of transport can go green comparatively easily
A. Planes.　B. Trucks.　C. Trains.　D. Ships.
3. What does Wipke suggest regarding energy transition
A. Limiting fuel consumption.　 B. Putting more effort into renewables.
C. Improving energy efficiency.　 D. Making electricity more affordable.

　　From an early age, Edward Norton was taught what protecting the environment really requires. His father, an environmental lawyer, founded the Grand Canyon Trust and his grandfather was a pioneer in low-income housing policy.
Norton built his own career in a different field, becoming one of his generation's most respected actors. When Norton first became famous, he concluded that he wasn't interested in ordinary celebrity ambassador work. “I am not interested in being some weak sauce kind of spokesperson,” he says. “It's not that I don't believe those things are important, but that held no nourishment for me.”
What does nourish Norton is his work with a Kenya-based organization called the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust, which helps the Maasai people to make a living from their land through innovative means. One project that Norton is particularly proud of channels profits from the sale of carbon offsets (碳补偿) to local Maasai communities who use that money to support health, education, and conservation initiatives.
One challenge that concerns Norton would be familiar to his father and grandfather: raising funds. This led Norton to a realization. “We can't have the conservation movement depend only on donor-funded charity,” he says. “It not only can't scale; it's fundamentally unstable.”
A new model is needed. Norton and his partners argue that tourist dollars being spent in fragile places ought to remain in-country—or better yet, in-community. Norton and his team have started a company called Conservation Equity that will invest in tourism in critical places and will reinvest its profits locally, instead of paying distant shareholders.
Norton is optimistic about the model's prospects. He says, “I think what we are doing has no previous example to follow. The needs of people are not going to take a lower priority to the spiritual value of nature. If protecting and restoring nature can't produce a stronger and more reliable economy, the effort will fail.”
1. How does Norton feel about being a typical celebrity spokesperson
A. Enthusiastic.　B. Tolerant.　C. Dissatisfied.　D. Confused.
2. What is Norton's main concern about the conservation movement
A. Expansion of its public influence.
B. Lack of a stable source of funding.
C. Failure to meet the needs of local communities.
D. Repetition of the faults of previous generations.
3. What is special about Norton's new model of conservation
A. Downplaying the value of nature.
B. Raising funds from distant donors.
C. Focusing on local children's education.
D. Benefiting local economic development.
4. Which of the following words best describe Norton
A. Confident and honest.　 B. Generous and talented.
C. Practical and pioneering.　 D. Ambitious and conventional.

Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help
Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. 1.　　　 Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today's world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience.
Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they're special. With so many online posts featuring the same places, it's easy to feel like you're missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you. 2.　　
Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it's actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. 3.　　　 Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination's lesser-known sights
4.　　　 Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour. You'll compete with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower.
Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege(荣幸). Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place. 5.　　　 You may be amazed how much closer you'll feel to the people there.
A. Visit during off-peak times.
B. So, should we stop traveling
C. Travel for you and no one else.
D. Can overtourism be avoided then
E. You can still find relatively undiscovered places.
F. You'll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it.
G. Consider giving back to the communities you're visiting.

　　Producing and consuming clothing is a major source of global CO2 emissions (排放). The fashion industry is estimated to account for 8% to 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions—more than all international flights and sea shipping combined. From growing cotton to dyeing (染色) fabrics, every step in the clothing supply chain leaves a carbon footprint. Much of the impact comes from energy-intensive industrial processes. Here's a breakdown of the emissions in 2018 across different stages of clothing production.
　　Making clothes more sustainable isn't just about cutting emissions—it's also about choosing the right materials. Fabrics need to be not only comfortable and affordable, but also long-lasting and low-impact. Each material has its own challenges and environmental cost. While no perfect solution exists yet, a range of alternatives are emerging.
　　This shift toward sustainable fashion is global, and the extent of transformation needed is “unlike anything we've seen before,” says Stella McCartney, a pioneer in ethical (道德上的) fashion design. It's estimated that fashion consumption could grow by 60% by 2030, putting even more pressure on resources. Still, experts believe that circular design and material innovation can drive real change, keeping pace with the sweeping trend of energy conservation and emission reduction. “The future of fashion is restorative and regenerative by design,” says McCartney.
1. Which stage released the greatest amount of greenhouse gases in 2018
A. Fibre production.　 B. Yarn preparation.
C. Fabric production.　 D. Dyeing and finishing.
2. What do these alternatives have in common
A. They are animal-friendly.　 B. They come from plant sources.
C. They aim to lessen environmental impact.　 D. They require less energy during production.
3. What does McCartney stress regarding the future of fashion
A. It is to heal and renew the environment.　 B. It is to reduce resource usage.
C. It is to meet different people's needs.　 D. It is to encourage conscious consumption.

　　Does your soul die a little every time you throw away unused food Mine does. Maybe that feeling comes from growing up in South Africa, where the phrase “there are children starving in Africa” was more of an uncomfortable reminder of fact than a prayer at dinner time.
Food waste is a growing concern in the restaurant, supermarket, and supply chain industries. From technological solutions to educational campaigns, food producers and sellers are looking for ways to use more of what we're already growing. But last month, one popular New York City restaurant tried a different way:It changed its menu to exclusively(专门) offer food that would otherwise be thrown away.
For two weeks in March, Greenwich Village's Blue Hill restaurant was renamed wastED, and served items like fried skate cartilage, a juice pulp burger, and a dumpster diver's vegetable salad. Each dish was tailor-made to raise awareness regarding food waste.
A study by the Food Waste Alliance determined that the average restaurant generates 33 pounds of food waste for every $1,000 in revenue(收入), and of that waste only 15.7% is donated or recycled. Up to 84.3% is simply thrown out. Restaurants like Silo in the UK have experimented with zero-waste systems, but wastED took the concept to its logical conclusion.
It should be noted that none of the items on wastED's menu was technically made from garbage. Instead, all the ingredients(配料) used were examples of meat cuts and produce that most restaurants would never consider serving. Things like kale ribs, fish collars, rejected sweet potatoes, and cucumber butts were all re-appropriated and, with the help of a number of good chefs, turned into excellent cuisine.
Though wastED received enthusiastic reviews, it was designed from the start as a short-lived experiment; Blue Hill has since returned to its regular menu. Nevertheless, it serves as a reminder that there are many ways to address problems of sustainability, and that you can make an amazing meal out of almost anything.
1. What can be inferred about the author's early life
A. He witnessed food shortage.　 B. He enjoyed the local cuisine.
C. He donated food to Africans.　 D. He helped to cook at home.
2. Why did Blue Hill carry out the experiment
A. To customize dishes for guests.　 B. To make the public aware of food waste.
C. To test a food processing method.　 D. To improve the UK's zero-waste systems.
3. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. Why the ingredients were used.　 B. Which dishes were best liked.
C. What the dishes were made of.　 D. Where the ingredients were bought.
4. What can we learn about wastED
A. It has ended as planned.　 B. It is creating new jobs.
