附：听力材料
(Text 1)
W: Did you hear the news? A research team from our Ocean Institute just discovered a new fish.
M: Unbelievable! They haven't discovered anything in a long time. They must feel proud!
W: Yes, and very relieved. You know, the university was just about to cut their budgets. If that happened in our department, I think you and I would soon be out of work!
M: I agree. The discovery was just in time! So, what is this new animal?
W: Actually, it's called the Atacama Snailfish. There are three colors of them — the pink, the blue, and the purple Atacama Snailfish.
M: Cool! Is there anything special about this fish?
W: Yes! It isn't like many other deep-ocean fish, which usually have huge teeth and are much bigger. Instead, the new fish are small.
(Text 2)
W: I've finally finished my work today. James, can you give me a cup, please? I want to drink some water.
M: OK. Here you are. Oh, wait. Use this one, please.
W: Why can't I use that one?
M: I know you love drinking hot water. That cup cannot hold hot water. It's not a normal paper cup, you know. It's made of seaweed. If you use it to hold hot water, it'll be damaged and I'm afraid you'll get burned.
W: Then why did you buy such cups?
M: You know I care about the environment very much. Now we produce too much waste every day. Different from plastic and paper cups, this kind of cup can disappear within thirty days outdoors and they do no harm to soil.
W: That's amazing. Could you go to the supermarket with me tomorrow? I want to buy some such cups, too.
M: OK.I didn't know you also care about the environment.
W: Well, I think we all should do what we can to protect the earth.
M: I can't agree more.
(Text 3)
M: The UK is using more green energy, like wind, nuclear and solar energy. New figures show that the UK had its greenest year ever in 2017 for producing electricity. In 2017, the UK had its first coal-free day for over 150 years. The UK broke 13 clean energy records in 2017. In June, wind, nuclear and solar power produced more electricity than gas and coal. It is the first time this has happened. The UK's power system is now the fourth cleanest in Europe and the seventh cleanest in the world. The UK has been trying to reduce how much coal it uses. Coal now supplies less than 7% of the UK's electricity. The government wants to use less gas to meet its greenhouse gas target. The World Wildlife Fund is pleased that the UK is moving towards greener energy. It said, “We have never been cleaner or greener, and we are on target for an even better year.”

Ⅱ.阅读理解
As far back as the age of dinosaurs millions of years ago, turtles wandered around the Earth. Even nowadays it is generally assumed that turtles are the world's steadiest creature.
However, a new research shows 61 percent of the 356 species of turtles are already threatened or no longer exist. The destruction of their homes, disease, climate change and other reasons have caused their population to drop sharply. In a new study published in the journal BioScience, a team of scientists from various institutions claim that turtles are one of the most threatened among the major vertebrate (脊椎动物) groups.
This could, the authors say, have serious consequences for the ecology. Turtles contribute to the health of many environments, including desert, wetland, freshwater and marine ecosystems, and the decline may lead to bad effects on other species, including humans, they explain. Whit Gibbons, senior author and professor at the University of Georgia's Savannah River Ecology Laboratory, says in a statement that the intention of the study is to inform people about the vital ecological roles of turtles.
One of the important qualities of turtles is how diverse they are when it comes to food. This allows them to have a major impact on food webs of their homes all over the world. In some areas, the density (密度) of the turtle population makes them an important part of the ecosystem. With their gathering, other species that feed on them and their eggs are sure to have a large pool of food.
For plants, turtles are also extremely important as they distribute the seeds of many plant species. When they eat, some seeds are not destroyed by the digestive process and instead make their way out of the animals' body. Some turtles are the main dispersal (传播) agents of certain plants and their seeds.
These are only a few yet very vital roles that turtles play in the ecological landscape. Unfortunately, many species are in serious decline and in danger of disappearing completely.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。海龟的数量急剧下降，这对生态系统有不利影响。
1．What does the new study aim to do?
A．To save the grand vertebrate groups on earth.
B．To warn people of turtles' terrible situation.
C．To make the importance of turtles' roles known.
D．To claim turtles may be related to dinosaurs.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第三段的“the intention of the study is to inform people about the vital ecological roles of turtles”可知，这个研究的目的是让人们了解海龟对生态的重要作用。故选C项。
2．How might the disappearance of turtles influence certain plants?
A．Speed up these plants' disappearing.
B．Put an end to these plants' seed spreading.
C．Allow more seeds to grow into plants.
D．Give these plants no chance of survival.
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据第五段内容可知，海龟通过吃下植物的种子然后将其排出体外来进行植物种子的传播，一些海龟是某些植物及其种子的主要传播媒介。由此可推知，海龟的消失也可能加速这些植物的灭绝。故选A项。
3．Which of the following shows the structure of the text?
I：Introduction P：Point Sp：Sub-point(次要点)
C：Conclusion
解析：选B 文章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段是全文的引言(Introduction)，引出海龟这一话题；第二段是要点一(Point 1)，介绍了海龟数量骤减的情况；第三段是要点二(Point 2)，总述海龟对生态系统的作用；第四、五段都是要点二的次要点(Sp1和Sp2)，分别介绍了海龟在生态系统中所起的两个作用；最后一段对全文进行总结(Conclusion)。故选B项。
4．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Turtles Are Sure to Stop Existing
B．The Ecology Will Change with Turtles
C．Decline of Turtles Threatens the World
D．Turtles' Dying Out Worldwide Matters a Lot
解析：选D 标题归纳题。通读全文可知，作者介绍了目前海龟数量大范围减少的状况以及海龟的存在对生态系统的重要作用，因此D项“世界范围内海龟的消失影响重大”最能概括本文大意，故选D。
