【題目】Ways to Host an Eco-Friendly Cookout

Eating in the open air may feel eco-friendly, but outdoor dining can result in unnecessary waste if you aren’t careful. 1. Keep that in mind, you’ll be off to a good start.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Skip the paper invitations and use online services like Email, or Facebook events. 2. This way you’ll avoid ending up with five different potato salads that go uneaten. Make it easy for guests to sort garbage by preparing different dustbins: one for kitchen garbage, one for recyclables, and one for non-recyclables.

Stop Using Plastic

Plastic is a leading cause of litter and isn’t easy to recycle. To make sure your cookout eco-friendly, consider some other options for making your cookout stand out. Use recycled jars as glasses. They’re also far less breakable than regular glasses. 3. If guests know which glass is theirs, they don’t need to reach for another one, which cuts down on the cleanup you’ll be doing.

4

Wherever possible, shop for local produce and goods to serve your guests. This will reduce your carbon footprint and help support your local economy. Buy produce and meats at your local farmers’ market. Look for organic, but favor local over organic if you have to make a choice.

Use Renewable Light Sources

5. As the sun goes down, illuminate(照亮) your party space with LED lighting and solar-powered decorations. Invest in some candles and torches to help drive away insects naturally.

A. Support Global Economy

B. Think Globally, Shop Locally

C. Ask guests to bring glasses of their own

D. Keep track of what everyone is bringing ahead of time

E. Save on energy by hosting your party during the daylight hours

F. The key to being eco-friendly is to reduce waste wherever possible

G. Put up some label to the jars so people can write their names on them

【解析】本文是一篇說明文。本文作者針對(duì)如何舉辦一次對(duì)生態(tài)環(huán)境友好的野餐這一問題,給出了自己的一些建議

1在上文Eating in the open air may feel eco-friendly, but outdoor dining can result in unnecessary waste if you aren’t careful.捕捉到關(guān)鍵詞waste,在戶外吃東西可能會(huì)覺得環(huán)保,但是如果不小心,戶外就餐會(huì)導(dǎo)致不必要的浪費(fèi)。故F項(xiàng)(對(duì)生態(tài)環(huán)境友好的關(guān)鍵是只要有可能就減少浪費(fèi)。)是對(duì)上文的進(jìn)一步說明。

2根據(jù)下文This way you’ll avoid ending up with five different potato salads that go uneaten.這里提到了用這種方法,避免帶了五個(gè)土豆沙拉吃不了的情況出現(xiàn),所以上文會(huì)說提前記錄每個(gè)人會(huì)帶什么東西,選D。

3根據(jù)下文If guests know which glass is theirs, they don’t need to reach for another one, which cuts down on the cleanup you’ll be doing.這里提到了如果客人知道哪個(gè)杯子是他們的,他們就不需要再拿另外的杯子,所以上文會(huì)說在杯子上貼一些標(biāo)簽兒,這樣人們就可以把他們的名字寫在杯子上,選G。

4這一段落提到了在哪里購(gòu)物的問題所以標(biāo)題應(yīng)該是全局考慮,當(dāng)?shù)刭?gòu)物,選B。

5Use Renewable Light Sources這一段的標(biāo)題是使用可再生光源,E項(xiàng)Save on energy by hosting your party during the daylight hours通過在白天舉辦你的聚會(huì)來節(jié)省能源。)是使用可再生光源的一個(gè)方法,故選E。

【題目】Welcome to Olympic National Park!

The park is located in the western state of Washington and it covers more than 400,000 hectares. Each area of the park offers visitors something special. Here are some places to go.

Elwha Valley

The Elwha Valley is in the central part of the park. It is the Olympic Peninsula’s largest watershed (分水嶺). Long ago, the rivers in this area held the most salmon (鮭魚) outside of Alaska. In the 1920s, a growing community of settlers built two hydroelectric (水力發(fā)電) dams to provide energy for the local economy. The dams created many problems for the river. They decreased the water in the rivers, which caused the fish population in the area to decrease. This affected the other animals that depended on fish for food.

The community later decided to take some measures to solve these problems. Today, the Elwha River is the site of one of the largest ecosystem restoration projects in National Park Service history.

Hurricane Ridge

Hurricane Ridge is a mountain area in the northern part of the park. It is easy to enter, and provides incredible views of the Olympic Mountains.

The ridge has many hiking paths. In winter, people come here to ski. They also come here to take part in other fun winter activities, like sledding and snowboarding.

Hurricane Ridge usually has snow from December through the end of March. Visitors must be prepared for icy roads and severe weather.

The Coast

The westernmost part of the park is Pacific coastline. Olympic National Park has many breathtaking beaches.

Rialto Beach is known for its tall seastacks (海蝕柱). These formations are tall towers of rock standing in the sea. Kalaloch Beach is known for its white sand. It also has three national wildlife refuges, which protect the area’s bird and fish species.

The coastline areas offer hiking and camping. They are some of the most popular places in the park.

1What happened to the Elwha River after the two dams were built?

A. Local settlers had enough energy.

B. Local settlers made more money.

C. The Elwha Valley was formed.

D. The ecosystem was greatly affected.

2Which place is most suitable for winter activities?

A. Elwha Valley B. Hurricane Ridge

C. Rialto Beach D. Kalaloch Beach

3What’s the purpose of the passage?

A. To attract visitors to the park,

B. To introduce the parkas history.

C. To show the variety of the park.

D. To stress the importance of ecosystem.

【題目】閱讀理解
Their cheery song brightens many a winter's day. But robins are in danger of wearing themselves out by singing too much. Robins are singing all night一as well as during the day, British-based researchers say.
David Dominoni, of Glasgow University, said that light from street lamps, takeaway signs and homes is affecting the birds' biological clocks, leading to them being wide awake when they should be asleep.
Dr Dominoni, who is putting cameras inside nesting boxes to track sleeping patterns, said lack of sleep could put the birds' health at risk. His study shows that when robins are exposed to light at night in the lab, it leads to some genes being active at the wrong time of day. And the more birds are exposed to light, the more active they are at night.
He told people at a conference, "There have been a couple of studies suggesting they are increasing their song output at night and during the day they are still singing. Singing is a costly behaviour and it takes energy. So by increasing their song output, there might be some costs of energy."
And it is not just robins that are being kept awake by artificial light. Blackbirds and seagulls are also being more nocturnal. Dr Dominoni said, "In Glasgow where I live, gulls are a serious problem. I have people coming to me saying `You are the bird expert. Can you help us kill these gulls?'.During the breeding(繁殖)season, between April and June, they are very active at night and very noisy and people can't sleep."
Although Dr Dominoni has only studied light pollution, other research concluded that robins living in noisy cities have started to sing at night to make themselves heard over loud noise.
However, some birds thrive(興旺)in noisy environments. A study from California Polytechnic University found more hummingbirds in areas with heavy industrial machinery. It is thought that they are capitalising on their predators(天敵)fleeing to quieter areas.
(1)According to Dr Dominoni's study, what cause robins to sing so much?
A.The breeding season.
B.The light in modern life
C.The dangerous environment.
D.The noise from heavy machinery.
(2)What is the researchers' concern over the increase of birds' song output?
A.The environment might be polluted.
B.The birds' health might be damaged.
C.The industry cost might be increased.
D.The people's hearing might be affected.
(3)What does the underlined word "nocturnal" in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.Active at night.
B.Inactive at night.
C.Active during the day.
D.Inactive during the day.
(4)Why do some birds thrive in noisy environments?
A.Because there are fewer dangers.
B.Because there is more food to eat.
C.Because there is less light pollution
D.Because there are more places to take shelter.

It was a hot, sunny day in a national forest. 1 (unfortunate), my best friend, Ned, and I got lost. 2 we realized that we were separated from our group, we immediately tried to find a safe place to set up our base. We found a small area next to a stream. Then we started a fire with some leaves and sticks 3 (collect) nearby.

While I was watching over the fire, Ned brought more plants, 4 were put in the water and then slowly thrown into the fire. The wet leaves created a lot of smoke. Then we started to write some short notes 5 (say), “WE ARE LOST! If you find this message, you will find us upstream. We are keeping up a smoky fire. Please find us!” They were made into paper boats and sent downstream, one every five minutes. We hoped that these boats would draw somebody’s attention.

Supposing our group was well 6 their way, we wanted to be ready for 7 (they). Ned and I started to look for two hollow logs(空心圓木)and a few strong 8 (stick). Our small fire still produced plenty of smoke. Soon we were very lucky to hear whistles(哨子聲)far in the 9 (distant). I was sure it must have been the smoke that worked. Now it was time to start drumming on the hollow logs. We enjoyed this part because we got to sing and shout along with the beat(打擊聲). Soon we 10 (find) by our group and we headed back to our camp with an exciting story to tell.

The other day I ran into an old schoolmate of my, Sally Barber, while I was at the cashpoint. I hadn't seen her for age. I wanted to catch up with her, so I suggested go for a cup of coffee. Unfortunately, Sally's a very busy woman, but she didn't have time for a coffee. Let's meet late in the week, I suggested. That is often the case, Sally looked in her diary, and said we could get together for lunch at 1 pm on Friday at her favorite restaurant. I thought it was a very much smart place, so I had dress in for the occasion. I arrived at a restaurant in good time. I finished my dessert by the time she turned up –she was an hour late!
