第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分）

A
What would you think if someone suggested knocking down St Paul’s Cathedral to widen the road? Or pulling
down Big Ben to make way for a car park? It would be ridiculous, right? But when it comes to devastation of the
natural world, we aren’t so easily shocked. But we should be…or we’ll be in a lot of trouble.
Nature is shrinking by the day. Ancient forests are destroyed. Wetlands are becoming dry. Woodland is
disappearing, and all in the name of progress. This is bad in itself, but it’s devastating for biodiversity.
Biodiversity refers to the variety of plants, animals and other living things that are all interconnected. The
ecological services provided by biodiversity are vital to everyday life. The air we breathe is a product of
photosynthesis by green plants. Insects, worms and bacteria break down waste and make soils rich. And tiny
organisms clean the water in rivers and sea. In fact, all life on the earth exists thanks to the benefits of biodiversity.
More than 90 percent of the calories consumed by people worldwide are produced from 80 plant species. And 30
percent of medicines are developed from plants and animals. Maintaining a wide diversity of species in each
ecosystem is necessary to preserve all living things.
The loss of biodiversity could be devastating. “It is wrong to think that biodiversity can be reduced indefinitely
without threatening humans,” said Harvard University biologist Edward O. Wilson, known as the “father of
biodiversity”. He warned, “We are about to reach a critical point beyond which biodiversity loss will become
irreversible.”
But what can we do? The present problem is that the concept of biodiversity is so vague. People might care
about giant pandas, but it is much harder to excite them about the fate of tiny sea creatures which are being boiled to
death in the cooling systems of power stations along coastlines. The Guardian newspaper is trying to help. It has
launched the Biodiversity 100 campaign to try to convince governments around the world to take action to deal with
the widespread concerns about biodiversity. This includes persuading the UK government to create a series of marine
reserves to reserve the decrease in the sea-life caused by industrial fishing, stopping fishing sharks by the Japanese
fishermen and banning the killing of dingoes in Australia, among many other things.
There is a lot to do. And we’d better act quickly if we don’t want to end up with a planet that can’t sustain life!
21. The underlined sentence “Nature is shrinking by the day.” means that ________.
A. nature is badly polluted by humans
B. species are becoming fewer and fewer day by day
C. rainforests are being cut down every day
D. nature is full of mysteries
22. Edward O. Wilson thinks that ________.
A. it doesn’t matter to reduce biodiversity
B. people have done enough to preserve biodiversity
C. the situation of biodiversity is very serious
D. biodiversity loss has become irreversible
23. When it comes to biodiversity, the present problem is that ________.
A. people might not clearly know what is biodiversity and what should be protected
B. people are not aware that giant pandas are endangered
C. people don’t realize that biodiversity is vital to everyday life
D. people hunt sea creatures for food
B
Despite being used by 1.34 billion people each year, traveling on the Tube in London can actually be quite lonely.
An unwritten rule encouraging silence, mixed with classic British reserve, means that even though you’re packed into
an enclosed space with hundreds of other people, the morning commute(上下班的路程) can leave you feeling
somewhat disconnected.
An American living in London, however, is trying to change this. “ You get on the Tube here and it’s completely
silent and it feels a bit strange,” says Jonathan Dunne, 42, who has started a worldwide dialogue after giving out
badges(证章；徽章) with the words “Tube chat?” last month, encouraging commuters in London to get talking to
one another.
“I handed out 500 badges during rush hours in a city of 8 million, expecting most of them to be thrown away, but
after about 24 hours it completely snowballed,” he says.
Dunne and his “Tube chat” campaign have been covered by media across the world since then, seeing TV
interviews in Sweden, Brail and the UK, as well as a lot of website, newspaper and magazine appearances. Although
Dunne says he’s received mostly positive feedback, not everyone agrees with his opinion. Londoner Brian Wilson
started a campaign of his own, handing out 500 badges with the words “Don’t even think about it” on them. “I can’t
stand the idea of having to talk to strangers on the Tube on my way to work,” he told the BBC. Michael Robinson, 24,
a student from London, agrees. “Being on the Tube is the only place and quietness some people get on their journeys
to and from work. Personally, I don’t want to be troubled by people coming up and chatting to you,” he says.
While London does not appear to be social, not everywhere lacks a sense of community. In Melbourne, Australia,
commuters have set up a private Facebook group used to warn one another when ticket inspectors(售票员) board the
city’s trams(有轨电车). Most Western cities’ tram stops have no barriers, which makes it possible for some travelers
to ride them without buying tickets. Though the group comes with a disclaimer(免费申明), its purpose is actually to
warn fare paying members that tickets inspectors are on so that they can ready their smiles and most importantly, their
tickets.
Does Dunne hope that some of this community spirit will be mirrored in the UK following his campaign? “People
believed that I just walk up and talk to strangers, which I don’t, but it’s been a great way to meet people you would
never have normally spoken to,” he says. “On Monday, the curator( 馆长 ) of the London Transport Museum had me
over for tea.” So if you ever end up using public transport in the West, why not say hello to the person next to you?
Just make sure to check for a badge first.
24. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To blame the loneliness on London Tube.
B. To show the selfishness of Londoners.
C. To express the upset of the Tube riders.
D. To introduce the background of the campaign.
25.Which of the following is TRUE about Dunne’s campaign?
A. It encourages people to avoid chatting on the Tube.
B. It doesn’t win everyone’s support in London.
C. It’s known only to a small number of Londoners.
D. It gives out badges with “Don’t even think about it.”
26. What can be inferred from the underlined sentences?
A. They prefer drinking tea to chatting on the Tube.
B. Dunne didn’t expected to meet the curator on the Tube.
C. Dunne never walks up and talks to strangers on the Tube.
D. It is possible to make friends with a stranger on the Tube.
27. What is the author’s attitude towards Dunne’s campaign?
A. Doubtful B. Worried C. Supportive D. Amazed
C
Not only does the use of plastic water bottles hurt your wallet, but it also causes pollution, wastes energy, and
surprisingly wastes water. Only 23% of the plastic in America ends up in recycling bins, meaning over $ 1 billion
worth of plastic is treated as rubbish a year. Recently, Skipping Rocks Lab has invented a kind of water bottle called
Ooho.
It’s a kind of convenient, clear water bottle that can either be drunk or eaten. To drink it, you can either get rid of
the membrane(膜)or tear a hole in the membrane with your teeth to pour the water into your mouth. To eat it, you
simply put the whole bottle in your mouth. It’s completely tasteless so you needn’t worry about any taste.
It aims for large outdoor events where tons of plastic bottles are used and frequently left behind as litter. Too
much plastic is sure to do harm to the environment, which could account for the purpose of such a new invention.
The team has been working for the past two years to develop the technology and materials that are needed to
produce Ooho. The price for an only bubble(泡状物)or a unit of bubbles hasn’t been decided yet, but it costs about
two cents to create a unit, which is cheaper than plastic bottles. The team has also been selling Ooho water bottles in
London for the past six months.
Ooho is catching many people’s attention and has raised over $1 million in only three days. It’s mostly being
sold at events at the moment to interest the buyers while the production machine is getting up and running. It’s
quickly making a rise, so keep an eye out for these bottles of the future.
28. How is most plastic in America dealt with?
A. It is thrown away as litter. B. It is reused as new energy.
C. It is buried under the ground. D. It is applied to new technology.
