But, it doesn't have to be all bad news. “One major motivation in studying the link
between climate change and human-wildlife conflicts is finding solutions,” said Abrahms. “As
we learn about specific incidents, we can identify patterns and tends-and come up with
interventions(干预) to try to address these conflicts.”
Some interventions maybe as simple as public-awareness campaigns. Governments can
also plan forties when extreme climate events will bring people and wild if e into closer

Of course, all of these are predictions. Scientists have said it’s almost impossible to truly predicthow evolution will unfold. As we go further and further out, the prediction is less accurate. And it’s
even more difficult to predict whether another species will develop human-level intelligence, Some
think that it could happen. Others, however, are less optimistic because they don’t think nature will
make mistakes twice.

“No one can read a pamphlet (小册子) about cars and suddenly expect to drive,” said Rollins.
“Driving is a skill that requires education and practice. The same is true of responsive parenting.
Public health professionals, clinicians, and researchers must collaborate to help families develop
psychosocial assets, including responsive parenting and a structured home environment. This could
improve childhood obesity rates and other important quality-of-life outcomes,” she continued.
Which of the following would Professor Rollins agree with?
A.Kids’ early exposures to family psychosocial assets are hard to measure.
B.Kids’ academic success largely depends on family psychosocial assets.
C.Responsive parenting is the most important family psychosocial asset.
D.Developing psychosocial assets is a joint effort of experts and families.

These kids are admittedly luckier than those for whom going back home is sadly not an option.
But when choosing to live with your mum is the only way of coping with an insecure job, or with the
costs of renting in the city, then that’s not much of a choice. Home is still the place where, when you
have to go there, they have to take you in. But a healthy and successful society shouldn’t be sending
quite many overgrown children hurrying back for shelter, and nor should it leave quite many parentsfeeling bad about it.
What is the author’s attitude to this trend?
A.Favorable. B.Confused. C.Tolerant. D.Disapproving.

When you think about it, food is an important part of our lives. Family gatherings center around
food and the celebration of major life events and milestones involves food in one way or another. The
same holds true for us here on the Space Station. Food is important and ends up usually being a topic
of discussion for almost every crew.
......
Our food also comes packaged in many ways. But no matter what the form of the food though,
you still have the same problem eating it- - you do not want it flying away from you and making a
mess when you open it up. In this case a little bit of extra water is extremely helpful. It keeps the food
kind of sticking together and to the package and to your spoon. Small things do escape from time to
time, but we really try hard to minimize the random flying food problem. That is enough for now!
Next time I will write about how to cook in space.
Where is the text most probably taken from?
A.A food magazine. B.An astronaut’s journal.
C.A sci-fi handbook. D.A space history website.

Beer Worth Traveling For
One could give to beer the higher status of a universal human truth. Think Irish Guinness or
Japanese Sapporo, each culture has a beer all its own. But in recent years, smaller, more local craft
breweries (啤酒厂) have been on the rise, necessitating globe-trotting to gain a taste of the regional
takes on the classics.
From well-established breweries in South Africa and California, to the growing markets in
Southeast Asia, craft beer is worth travelling for.

Eggs-perimenting with eggs
What can you do with eggs other than eat them?
Naked Eggs
What does an egg look like without its shell? You may be picturing the white and yolk in a bowl
after cracking it, but that isn’t the only way to remove the shell.
Materials: an egg, white vinegar, a bowl, a spoon
Directions: Fill a bowl with one cup of vinegar. Add the egg to the bowl, and wait at least 24
hours. When you check it after a day, you’ll notice some bubbles on the egg and a residue (残留物) in
the water. Use the spoon to gently remove the egg from the bowl. Dump out the old vinegar, and add a
cup of fresh vinegar. Return the egg to the bowl, and wait another 24 hours. When you remove the egg
this time, the shell should be completely dissolved. What remains will be the contents of the egg.
Walking on Eggshells
Can Eggs hold the weight of your entire body?
Materials: six cartons (硬纸盒) of eggs, a garbage bagDirections: Place the garbage bag on the floor to make any necessary clean up easier. Place the
cartons of eggs into two rows of three. Make sure all the eggs are pointing in the same direction—
either all pointy end up or all rounded end up. Step onto the first carton of eggs carefully. Make sure
your foot is as flat as possible and that you are distributing your weight evenly. If you’re careful, you
will succeed. Eggs are actually incredibly strong. The arch shape at the top and the bottom of the egg
allows pressure to be distributed evenly over the egg. If you were to place the eggs on their sides
instead, you’d be likely to wind up with a gooey (胶粘的) mess.
What was the author’s purpose in writing this text?
A.To persuade readers to use eggs in new ways.
B.To entertain readers with funny use for eggs.
C.To tell readers some ways to experiment with eggs.
D.To inspire readers to conduct experiments carefully.

Macaques don’t use the sharp flakes they create for anything, Luncz adds, noting that the
monkeys have sharp teeth and don’t need cutting tools. The similar ancient stone tools collected from
some of the earliest known sites, however, show evidence of being used for cutting tasks. For example,
in Oldowan, a site dating between 3.3 million and 1.5 million years ago, researchers analyzed use-
wear patterns on the tools and found that some of the flakes showed damage along their edges,
indicating that they had been used for cutting. Cut marks on some fossils revealed that hominins had
used stone tools for butchering the animals, making it clear that the sharp stone tools were anything
but unintentional by-products of other pounding activities.
Why does the author mention the Oldowan site in paragraph 3?
A.To provide specific proof. B.To clarify a complex concept.
C.To present an interesting fact. D.To make a detailed comparison.

A tree-planting initiative in Kenya has seen over 30,000 trees being planted. The Green
Generation Initiative is a Kenyan charity that has been planting trees to counter climate change and the
reduction in forest in the East African nation since 2016.
......
Speaking to world leaders at the recent United Nations Climate Conference in Glasgow (COP26),
Elizabeth issued a serious warning on the threat of climate change. Over two million of Kenyans are
facing climate related starvation. In 2025, half of the world’s population will be facing water shortage.
The climate crisis will displace 80 million people in sub-Saharan Africa alone.
Elizabeth said, “I have been doing what I can. Inspired by the great Wangari Maathai, I founded a
tree growing initiative that enhances food security for young Kenyans.” So far, they have grown
30,000 fruit trees to maturity, providing desperately needed nutrition for thousands of children. “Every
day we see that when we look after the trees, they look after us. We are the adults on this Earth right
now, and it is our responsibility to ensure that the children have food and water,” she added.

When John Todd was a child, he loved to explore the woods around his house, observing how
nature solved problems. A ditry stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants
and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process
could be used to clean up the messes people were making.
After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature
and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria (细菌)? Which kinds of fish can eat
cancer-causing chemicals? With the right combination of animals and plants, he figured, maybe hecould clean up waste the way nature did. He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine.
The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge (污泥). First,
he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other. Then he went around to local
ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and waited.
Little by little, these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem.
After a few weeks, John added the sludge.
He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food
and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water.
,
Over the years John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse-like facility that
treated sewage (污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to
clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China.
“Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does. “Life on Earth is kind of a box of
spare parts for the inventor,” he says. “You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s
happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.”
4. What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs?
A. He was fond of traveling. B. He enjoyed being alone.
C. He had an inquiring mind. D. He longed to be a doctor.
5. Why did John put the sludge into the tanks?
A. To feed the animals. B. To build an ecosystem.
C. To protect the plants. D. To test the eco-machine.
6. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Fuzhou?
A. To review John’s research plans. B. To show an application of John’s idea.
C. To compare John’s different jobs. D. To erase doubts about John’s invention.
7. What is the basis for John’s work?
A. Nature can repair itself. B. Organisms need water to survive.
C. Life on Earth is diverse. D. Most tiny creatures live in groups.

Zero waste was a radical lifestyle movement a few years back. I remember showing my parents avideo of Bea Johnson, sharing how cool I thought it would be to buy groceries with jars, and have so
little trash! A few days later, I came back with my first jars of zero waste groceries, and my dad
commented on how silly it was for me to carry jars everywhere. It came off as a bit discouraging.
Yet as the months of reducing waste continued, I did what I could that was within my own reach.
I had my own bedroom, so I worked on removing things I didn’t need. Since I had my own toiletries
(洗漱用品), I was able to start personalising my routine to be more sustainable. I also offered to cook
every so often, so I portioned out a bit of the cupboard for my own zero waste groceries. Perhaps your
household won’t entirely make the switch, but you may have some control over your own personal
spaces to make the changes you desire.
As you make your lifestyle changes, you may find yourself wanting to speak up for yourself if
others comment on what you’re doing, which can turn itself into a whole household debate. If you
have individuals who are not on board, your words probably won’t do much and can often leave you
feeling more discouraged.
So here is my advice: Lead by action.
25.What was the attitude of the author’s father toward buying groceries with jars?
A.He disapproved of it. B.He was favorable to it.
C.He was tolerant of it. D.He didn’t care about it.
26.What can we infer about the author?
A.She is quite good at cooking. B.She respects others’ privacy.
C.She enjoys being a housewife. D.She is a determined person.

For nearly a decade now, Merebeth has been a self-employed pet transport specialist. Her pet
transport job was born of the financial crisis(危机)in the late 2000s. The downturn hit the real estate
(房地产)firm where she had worked for ten years as an office manager. The firm went broke and left
her looking for a new job. One day, while driving near her home, she saw a dog wandering on the
road, clearly lost. She took it home, and her sister in Denver agreed to take it. This was a loving home
for sure, but 1, 600 miles away. It didn’t take long for Merebeth to decide to drive the dog there
herself. It was her first road trip to her new job.......
This wanderlust is inherited from her father, she says. She moved their family from Canada to
California when she was one year old, because he wanted them to explore a new place together. As
soon as she graduated from high school she left home to live on Catalina Island off the Californian
coast, away from her parents, where she enjoyed a life of sailing and off-road biking.
It turns out that pet transporting pays quite well at about $30, 000 per year before tax. She doesn’t
work in summer, as it would be unpleasantly hot for the animals in the car, even with air conditioning.
As autumn comes, she gets restless—the same old wanderlust returning. It’s a call she must heed
alone, though. Merebeth says, “When I am on the road, I’m just in my own world. I’ve always been
independent-spirited and I just feel strongly that I mush help animals.”
1.Why did Merebeth changed her job?
A.She wanted to work near her home.
B.She was tired of working in the office.
C.Her sister asked her to move to Denver.
D.Her former employer was out of business.
3.What can we learn about Merebeth in her new job?
A.She has chances to see rare animals.
B.She works hard throughout the year.
C.She relies on herself the whole time.
D.She earns a basic and tax-free salary.

Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for
the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician
doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as
those playing instruments on stage.
“A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at onceand make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.” Mr

As students return to school this fall, many of them- perhaps especially those from historically
disadvantaged student groups- will be starting the academic year with achievement levels lower than
where they were at the beginning of summer break. This phenomenon is sometimes referred to as
summer learning loss. We review what is known about summer loss and offer suggestions for schools
looking to solve the problem.
......
Traditionally, educators and policymakers have relied on conventional summer school programs
to solve summer learning loss. Not surprisingly, research suggests that programs are more effective
when students attend consistently and spend more time on task academically. Regardless of the design,
these policies should offer engaging options for students over the summer so that summer learning
programs do not feel like punishment for students who would rather be enjoying summer vacation.
Doing so would set more students up for success as the school year gets underway.
1.In writing paragraph 1, the author aims to .
A.propose a definition B.make a comparison
C.present an issue D.make an argument
15.What does the author think of summer school programs?
A.The conventional programs are ineffective. B.More choices should be provided for
students.
C.Students should do more academic tasks.D.The programs are punishment for students.

The AIDA model is the foundation of modern marketing and advertising practice. It outlines the
four basic steps used to persuade potentials to make a purchase. The first three steps lie in creatingattention (A), decorating interest (I), and building desire (D) for the product, before the fourth step —
the “call to action” (A) — tells them exactly how and where to buy. AIDA can channel the customer’s
feelings through each stage toward reaching a sale.
......
“Call-to-action” is where all of the initial hard work pays off and leads to the action from a
potential customer. For example, they might pick up the phone to discuss the idea of a trial of the
services or, alternatively, they may just buy that product or service that has been promoted to them all
along.
And AIDA is used to great effect in the movie industry. Movie studios begin their marketing
campaigns months in advance. The campaigns develop by offering attractive flashes of the movie
without giving too much away. Desire is inspired by the release of the full preview which is fully
designed to show the exciting moments of the movie, from special effects to humorous lines of
dialogue on the opening weekend. Advertisements in newspapers and on television focus on the
movie’s release, inviting the consumer to go and buy a ticket.
1.What is the purpose of practising AIDA?
A.To create jobs. B.To increase sales.
C.To research markets. D.To introduce products.
2.Why does the author mention the movie industry in the last paragraph?
A.To design an AIDA model. B.To display how AIDA works.
C.To show how to make a movie. D.To advertise the movie industry.

As a child, Darrin, who was born and raised in Cameroon, was fascinated by Chinese
martial arts. He dreamed about learning the discipline and visiting China one day.
In 2016, Darrin, who was a university student majoring in material science in Cameroon,
started to learn Chinese at the Confucius Institute(孔子学院). Aside from martial arts, he got
to know about the country through photos and videos. After a year of learning Chinese, Darin
arrived in Kaifeng, as a language student at Henan University.
“When I saw the kung fu masters practice, it was like a dream come true. I was told
that martial arts is more than the powerful movements. Like self-defense, it is about a way oflife, which is full of Chinese philosophy,” says Darrin.
Since 2017, Darrin has entered many martial arts competitions, especially for tai chi, and
won a number of awards. He says that tai chi helps him become strong and healthy, stay in
good shape and develop excellent concentration, “ Tai chi helps me gain my balance,

melodic singing, amazing martial arts movements and stories. In 2017, Darrin watched a Yuju
Opera performance, Hua Mulan, for the first time after arriving in Kaifeng. “The story is
full of drama. The singing of the performers and the live band were full of energy,” recalls
Darrin, who later studied Yuju Opera with artist Li Shujian, “Since Yuju Opera is performed
in the Henan dialect, he had to learn the dialect first. He learned and practiced very hard,”
says Li.
In 2019, Dari performed Yuju Opera on the popular TV show, Li Yuan Chun, produced
and broadcast by Henan TV. Under his Chinese name, Liu Banjing, Darrin won second place
in one of the TV shows. Darrin notes that Kaifeng was formerly known as Bianjing in
ancient China.
“I have made lots of rinds here and I am considering living and working in China after
graduation,” says Darrin.

“If you look at where hydrogen is going to be produced in Europe in the next million years, it’s intwo countries, Spain and Portugal,” said Thierry Lepercq, the founder and president of HyDeal
Ambition, an industry platform bringing together 30 companies. “Hydrogen is the new oil.”
Lepercq is working with companies like Spanish gas pipeline corporation Enagas and global steel
giant ArcelorMittal to design an end-to-end model for hydrogen production, distribution and supply at
a competitive price. Criticism has centered on green hydrogen’s higher cost compared with highly-
polluting “gray hydrogen” drawn from natural gas. Lepercq argues that solar energy produced in Spain
is priced low enough to compete.
Globally, Lepercq said, “Electricity is 20% of energy consumption. What about the 80% that is
not electrified? ... You need to replace those fossil fuels. Not in 50 years’ time. You need to replace
them now.”
What can be inferred about green hydrogen in Spain according to Lepercq?
A.It is highly priced. B.It is easy to store.
C.It is competitive. D.It is highly-polluting.

10.(Z20名校联盟2023-2024学年高三第一次联考试题)The ebike has become an essential item, and even the King has been spotted riding one.
According to the market research company Mintel, sales have almost tripled over the past five years.
While ebikes have become increasingly commonplace, they are still undeniably expensive. You can
pick up a perfectly adequate push bike for £300, but most ebikes cost nearly £2, 000. Now, Cycling
Electric, designed to help consumers choose an ebike, offers the following recommendations.
Best folding bike
Carbo Model X
Price: £2, 799 | Weight: 13. 3kg
Range: up to 34 miles
This is one of the most convenient bikes, from a little-known label. The lightweight Carbo X is
the perfect example of convenience thanks to its carbon frame and belt drive, instead of a metal bike
chain. This makes it lighter and less likely to get messy than an electric Brompton, with its more
traditional, oily chain.
Most stylish
Temple Cycles Classic
Price: from £2, 995 | Weight: 19kg
Range: up to 74 miles
This Bristol-based brand is known for its elegant pushbikes, which are hand-built in the city. This
is its electric version. It’s a very sleek and functional commuter option and not too heavy. Temples
have fewer proprietary (品牌专卖的) parts and so are serviceable in any bike shop. Stylish as they
may be, the VanMoofs and the Cowboys can be a bit more complex to get back-up and service.
The money-no-object option
Riese & Müller Nevo4 GT Vario GX
Price: £5, 380 | Weight: 28. 4kg
Range: up to 93 miles
This is a prime example of the attention to detail delivering a high-quality experience in
functionality, comfort and practicality— if you can afford it. It has the capacity to handle 25kg of
luggage in a pannier, powerful road lights and a beautifully smooth motor.
1.Which ebike will a consumer probably choose, who cares most about an excellent experience?
A.Carbo Model X. B.The VanMoofs and the Cowboys.C.Temple Cycles Classic. D.Riese & Müller Nevo4 GT Vario GX.
2.Where is the text probably taken from?
A.An online post. B.A magazine column.
C.A market research report. D.An official document.

He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food
and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water.
Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse — like facility that
treated sewage (污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to
clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China.
“Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does. “Life on Earth is kind of a box of
spare parts for the inventor,” he says. “You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s
happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.”
1.What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Fuzhou?
A.To review John’s research plans. B.To show an application of John’s idea.
C.To compare John’s different jobs. D.To erase doubts about John’s invention.
2.What is the basis for John’s work?
A.Nature can repair itself. B.Organisms need water to survive.
C.Life on Earth is diverse. D.Most tiny creatures live in groups.

A 12-year-old girl, Eleanor Woods, has created a green backpack that filters (过滤) out air
pollution. Her innovative bag won the award of the “Backpack to the Future” competition.
The competition was launched to encourage students to combine an interest in fashion with a
career in science, technology, engineering or maths.
Powered by green energy from solar power and a dynamo--a machine that converts mechanical
energy into electrical energy--the backpack filters polluted air before fanning out cleaner air nearby.
Air pollution was always Eleanor’s concern. Meanwhile, spending a lot of time with her
asthmatic (患哮喘病的) mum, Eleanor especially focused on how pollution affects a person’s health
and the spread of diseases. “We have an air filter at home because my mum has mild asthma. But what
if she wants to go out? It would be inconvenient and dangerous! My Breathe Better Backpack is about
keeping those like my mother safe using an air filter. It looks cool and will help get them outside and
fight off colds,” Eleanor said.
The girl added, “My generation has really realized pollution, and we have lessons on it at school.
This is another reason why I designed this, because we need to do something.”
......
1.Who will most probably benefit from the backpack?A.Students living in poverty. B.Those suffering from asthma.
C.People working in an open way. D.Judges worried about pollution.
2.Which of the following best describes Eleanor Woods?
A.Humorous and modest. B.Ambitious and selfless.
C.Confident and fearless. D.Creative and considerate.

Tree-planting, intended to help draw down carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, has become a
synonym (同义词) for climate action. In our constant focus on trees, we’ve developed a fixed
understanding: Trees absorb carbon dioxide, end of story. The reality is that trees don’t grow well
alone. They exist within complex communities, helped along by each other as well as the animals they
coexist with. The woodland isn’t nature’s only carbon sink: Grasslands and oceans also help reduce the
carbon level and rely on a healthy amount of biodiversity.
That’s what the paper, published in Nature, wants to get across. Co-author Oswald J. Schmitz, a
professor of ecology at Yale University, said trees might not be able to do their carbon-uptake job
efficiently without the right animals in their ecosystem. That’s because animals animate the carbon
cycle through their behavior and roles in the ecosystem. He added that the very presence of wild
animals could cause feedback effects that change the ecosystem’s capacity to absorb, release, or
transport carbon.
In Serengeti, for instance, the sharp decline in wildebeest (角马) population s during the mid-20th
century allowed grass to grow wildly, eventually promoting wildfires that consumed 80 percent of the
ecosystem annually and led to a net release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. When disease
management and bans on illegal hunting helped animal populations recover, a greater share of the
carbon stored in plants was consumed by wildebeest and released as waste, keeping it in the system
and restoring the grassland as a carbon sink.

1.What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A.Actions are needed to reduce carbon dioxide. B.Trees are a quick solution to the climate
crisis.C.People are not thinking through trees properly. D.Grasslands and oceans help maintain
biodiversity.
2.What does the author want to say by mentioning wildebeest?
A.The conservation of animals is still a serious issue.
B.Animals can swing the ecosystem’s capacity to store carbon.
C.Human impacts bring about the reduction in wildlife populations.
D.The increase in animal species causes a decrease in carbon uptake.

Live with roommates? Have friends and family around you? Chances are that if you’re looking to
live a more sustainable lifestyle, not everyone around you will be ready to jump on that bandwagon.
I experienced this when I started switching to a zero waste lifestyle five years ago, as I was living
with my parents, and I continue to experience this with my husband, as he is not completely zero
waste like me. I’ve learned a few things along the way though, which I hope you’ll find encouraging if
you’re doing your best to figure out how you can make the change in a not-always-supportive
household.
Zero waste was a radical lifestyle movement a few years back. I remember showing my parents a
video of Bea Johnson, sharing how cool I thought it would be to buy groceries with jars, and have so
little trash! A few days later, I came back with my first jars of zero waste groceries, and my dad
commented on how silly it was for me to carry jars everywhere. It came off as a bit discouraging.
Yet as the months of reducing waste continued, I did what I could that was within my own reach.
I had my own bedroom, so I worked on removing things I didn’t need. Since I had my own toiletries
(洗漱用品), I was able to start personalising my routine to be more sustainable. I also offered to cook
every so often, so I portioned out a bit of the cupboard for my own zero waste groceries. Perhaps your
household won’t entirely make the switch, but you may have some control over your own personal
spaces to make the changes you desire.
As you make your lifestyle changes, you may find yourself wanting to speak up for yourself if
others comment on what you’re doing, which can turn itself into a whole household debate. If you
have individuals who are not on board, your words probably won’t do much and can often leave youfeeling more discouraged.
So here is my advice: Lead by action.
1.What was the attitude of the author’s father toward buying groceries with jars?
A.He disapproved of it. B.He was favorable to it.
C.He was tolerant of it. D.He didn’t care about it.
2.What can we infer about the author?
A.She is quite good at cooking. B.She respects others’ privacy.
C.She enjoys being a housewife. D.She is a determined person.
