A
Four Environmentalists You Should Know
George Washington Carver
George Washington Carver is one of the most famous scientists of the 20th century, not to
mention a famous painter. He was an educator at the Tuskegee Institute and an inventor known for
making plastics, fuel, and more out of peanut. He created a list of 300 uses for peanuts, and many
more for soybeans and sweet potatoes, in an effort to increase financial gains for Southern
farmers.
Julia Hill
After a serious auto accident in 1996, Julia Hill devoted her life to environmental causes. For
two years, Hill lived in the branches of an ancient redwood tree which she named Luna in northern
California to save it from being cut down. She eventually vacated ( 搬离 ) the 200-foot-tall tree
after striking a deal with the Pacific Lumber Company. The tree was saved finally. Her tree-sit
became an international cause.
Theodore Roosevelt
Though he was a known big-game hunter, Theodore Roosevelt was one of the most active
champions of wilderness preservation in history. As governor of New York, he outlawed the use of
feathers as clothing decorations in order to prevent the killing of some birds. While he was
president (1901-1909), he set aside hundreds of millions of wilderness acres, which actively
protected soil and water.
Chico Mendes
Chico Mendes is best known for his efforts to save the rainforests of his home Brazil from
being cut down. Mendes came from a family of rubber harvesters who supplemented (补贴) their
income by sustainably gathering nuts and other rainforest products. Alarmed at the damage of the
Amazon, he helped to encourage international support for its protection. His activism drew the
anger of powerful ranching (牧业) and timber interests, and he was murdered by cattle ranchers at
age 44.
1. Who made a great contribution to agriculture?
A. George Washington Carver. B. Julia Hill.
C. Theodore Roosevelt. D. Chico Mendes.
2. Which achievement belongs to Julia Hill?
A. Protecting wilderness.
B. Saving a 200-foot-tall tree.
C. Creating many uses for peanuts.
D. Saving the rainforests of Brazil.
3. What do the four people have in common?
A. They saved some trees from being cut down.
B. They prevented the killing of some birds actively.
C. They played a positive role in protecting the environment.
D. They made great contributions to their people and their country .

B
Sitting at the back of a café, two women are working on their laptops. While one asks some
questions about motion graphics, font design and scheduling tools, the other is preparing for a
presentation. But these women aren’t working; they’re skill swapping(交换).
For many young people kicking off their careers, the thought of paying for an expensive
item fills them with fear. And yet, these same people are receiving one-on-one Photoshop
sessions, having their makeup done by top-level artists, and accepting professional advice.
How? Skill swapping --- the art of trading your services for someone else’s in a mutually(相互
地)beneficial agreement.
Upskilling --- regularly updating and expanding your skill set --- becomes necessary in
order to fill the gaps between you and your next career move. And yet, with that comes high
training fees, unrealistic time expectations and a big overall commitment --- which is why
people are choosing to skill swap instead.
Turning your time into a commodity (商品) means money doesn’t change hands during a
skill swap; instead, both parties are gaining something other than cash from the partnership.
Perhaps it’s a CV redesign in return for a lesson in photography; a blog post edit in return for
Photoshop advice.
In fact, you can skill swap just about anything. Stephanie Conway traded in her PR job to
set up a marketing virtual assistant business. In exchange for free accommodation, she runs the
social media channels of an Airbnb. By trading her social media skills for a roof over her head,
Stephanie is gaining not only free rent, but examples to put on her CV. “Skill swapping gave me
the opportunity to get my business off the ground by showing what I could do,” she adds.
Skill swapping often comes in the shape of informal agreements, but you still have to treat
it like a business deal. Be specific about the skills you’re willing to trade and what you’re
hoping to get in return.
4. What do we know about skill swapping?
A. It is for career starters. B. It benefits both parties.
C. It is done between professionals. D. It concerns low-priced online trade.
5. What is a cause of people choosing skill swapping?
A. Decline in positions offered. B. Frequency of career changes.
C. Lack of first-class lecturers in training. D. Time and energy put in training.
6. What is Stephanie Conway’s attitude toward skill swapping?
A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Critical.
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. A rising trend in trading time. B. A new way to upskill yourself.
C. The stress from career moves. D. The suggestions for skill swapping.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要向我们介绍了一种新的提高自己技能的方法——技能
交换。它大大地省去了人们在技能培训方面的资金、时间和精力的投入，更主要的是让交
换双方技能都得到提高。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Skill swapping --- the art of trading your services for someone
else’ s in a mutually(相互地)beneficial agreement.”(技能交换——一种在双方（相互地）有
利的协议中用你的服务交换他人服务的艺术。)可知技能交换对于交换双方都有好处。故选
B项。
