(2022·广西桂林·模拟预测)A study has shown how ecotourism in the Philippines has changed people's attitudes towards marine conservation.

Researchers from the University of Victoria and other institutes in Philippines, visited three sites where tourists pay to swim with whale sharks in the wild. They interviewed a range of locals in Oslob, Donsol and Pintuyan, including fishers and ex-whale shark hunters. At Oslob, the largest of the three sites, people were more likely to speak about the resulting improvements to their quality of life and an increase in job opportunities. At the smaller, less profitable sites, responses were more likely to be about the changes in how people behaved towards the sharks.

Dr. Jackie Ziegler, leader of the team of researchers, said, “Many of the people we spoke reported they now care about and value whale sharks because of tourism activities. They also expressed the community’s emotional connection to the species and the strong need to protect them. Before the introduction of tourist activities, most of the locals admitted to harming the sharks by hitting them with stones or riding them.” In terms of attitudes towards the wider marine environment, the majority of respondents now actively encourage others to care for the ocean and they also use more sustainable fishing practices.

The study also acknowledged the potential negative effects of tourism on the marine environment, such as impacts on the health of local coral reefs and of the sharks. It concluded that further studies were needed to assess these impacts before firm conclusion could be drawn regarding the positive impact of whale sharks tourism on ocean conservation.

Nevertheless, the researchers say their work suggests ecotourism can be an effective means of strengthening protection. “Bringing in the views of the local tour operation to the study was necessary in uncovering the true impact of whale shark touristm and the wider

B.Legoland. D.Walt Disney World.

benefit to the ocean conservation in the Philippines,” Dr Ziegler added. 4.What were the local people concerned least according to Paragraph 2? A.Improvement of life. B.Behaviours towards sharks. C.Increases of work chances. D.Relationships between people.

5.Which word can best describe locals’ action towards marine life before ecotourism? A.Protective.

B.Satisfying.

C.Unsustainable.

D.Beneficial.

6.What will be the focus of the future research on tourism? A.Influence on other marine species.

B.Strategies for carrying out marine ecotourism. C.Types of ocean conservation.

D.Importance of protecting the local whale sharks. 7.What may be the best title of the text?

A.Ecotourism Transforms Locals’ Attitudes to Marine Conservation. B.Ecotourism Does Much Good to Marine Life as Before. C.Marine ecotourism Gives Rise to a New Kind of Business. D.Ecotourism Has Brought Large Benefits to People. Passage 3

(2022·江苏如皋·一模)There are lots of nice stories about the protection of nature as humans suspend their activity however, this slowdown is not all good news. New York City, for example, has suspended its organic recycling program. That means thousands of tons of rubbish that would have been recycled last year will find their way to landfills (垃圾填埋地) instead this year.

Like other New Yorkers, I recycled my kitchen waste and other organic materials. When they are broken down, they produce methane (a gas without color or smell), which if let loose can be harmful to the atmosphere. But when controlled in a way, the methane can be put to use as alternative energy. Plus, there is a by-product fertilizer (肥料), which can be sold on the market.

Now those thousands of tons of rubbish will be trucked away to landfills in Ohio and other remote places. It’s definitely a backward step in our fight against climate change. Government leaders may get some inspiration from New York City’s Freshkills Park.

The park is a best-case scenario (设想) for what can happen to mountains of rubbish. It was originally the Freshkills Landfill which received rubbish for more than half a century. In 2001, the landfill was closed. The Freshkills Park, around three times the size of Central Park, will be opened in 2035.

What is under the park is pretty complex, even if it just looks like a grassy hill. There are a few layers, each for different purposes. As for the methane, the park has hundreds of wells to capture the gas, which is enough to power 20,000 homes. Trees are tricky at the park because their roots can’t go that far down. As well, most grasslands only have shallow-rooted grasses so that the staff can easily get access to the wellheads.

The project brings good news to the grasshopper sparrows. These birds are of

conservation concern in New York State. Today, the grasshopper sparrows in New York State call this former landfill their home. So do foxes, deer and other animals.

Although it will take over a decade before the park fully opens, it has worked well so far. Besides this project, it’s expected that similarly brilliant plans for the new rubbish will come out soon. Ideally, the organic recycling program gets reenacted (重新制定) in New York City before too long. Otherwise, there are some other similarly brilliant plans for all the new rubbish that will be coming soon.

8.What can we know about organic materials? A.They will be replaced by other energy. B.They are beneficial to the environment. C.They have great value if handled properly. D.They can be hardly controlled or recycled.

9.What is the author’s attitude towards trucking New York City’s rubbish away? A.Indifferent. B.Doubtful. C.Optimistic. D.Negative.

10.What can we infer about the Freshkills Park? A.It has limited water resources. B.It gives the landfill a new look. C.It is very similar to Central Park. D.it turns farmlands into grasslands.

11.What does the author mainly want to express in the last but one paragraph? A.Parks are an ideal place for many animals. B.The project aims to restore animal habitats. C.New York has a large species of wild animals. D.The project contributes to wildlife protection. Passage 4

(2022·宁夏·银川一中一模)A young woman sits down at the piano. Her long flowing brown hair frames a friendly face. And then she begins to sing. Her unexpectedly mature voice attracted everyone in the room. This is Norah Jones, award-winning singer and songwriter.

Norah Jones was born on March 30, 1979, in New York City. She is the daughter of the legendary Rxdyi Shankar, a very famous guitar player; but Norah was brought up entirely by her mother Sue. At 4 years old, she and her mother moved to the Dallas suburb, Texas. Her earliest musical influence came from her mother’s extensive LP collection. She began singing in church choirs at age five, took piano lessons two years later, and briefly played alto saxophone in junior high.

In the course of serving customers and laying tables in a fast restaurant, Jones soon started a band in which she was a lead singer, of course, and played piano as well. In October 2000, the band ambitiously brought a demo to EMI Blue Note Records.

At a meeting with Blue Note president Bruce in the following year, Jones played her three-song tape, hoping to earn a break. Bruce was so impressed with this young girl’s talents that he signed her on the spot. After a year of work, Norah Jones released her debut album, Come Away with Me. Norah Jones has already sold 2.6 million copies of the album, which is 10 times more than any album in Blue Note history. Despite the lack of advertisement, her album was inching its way up the music charts while the debut single Don’t Know Why was climbing up the Adult Top 40 Chart.

The singer already enjoyed a success at the Grammy Awards in 2003, where she picked up five trophies in the major categories(Album of the Year, Record of the Year Trophy for Don’t Know Why, Best New Artist, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for Don’t Know Why, and Best Pop Vocal Album). It’s clear that this was only the beginning for Miss Jones. 12.What motivated Jones’ interest in music when young? A.Her childhood experience.

B.Her mother’s preference in music.

C.Her participation in church choirs. D.Her mother’s extensive LP collection.

13.What did Jones do before being signed by EMI Blue Note Records? A.Work as a waitress. C.Play the piano for customers.

14.When did Jones release her debut album? A.In 2000.

B.In 2001.

C.In 2002.

D.In 2003.

B.Study in a high school. D.Compose songs for a band.

15.What can we know about her debut single Don’t Know Why? A.It was composed by Jones.

C.It hit the top in the Adult Top 40 Chart.

B.It sold well through advertisement.

D.It won several awards in the Grammy Awards in 2003. Passage 5

(2022·辽宁沈阳·一模)I started the latest round of the NutriFit programme weeks ago. We take about 45 minutes to go through participants’ health records, previous diets, expectations, and levels of willingness to change to customize the programme to meet each individual’s needs.

I was shocked by one thing. When it comes to weight-loss goals, I usually ask, When was the last time you were happy with your body? The reply usually relates to pre-wedding, pre-kids, pre-college—the usual suspects. However this time, almost everyone said, “Of course, I wasn’t happy with it then, but I’d be happy with it now!”

It made me stop to think. For most of us, no matter how much we don’t really like the body shape, there will likely be a point in the future when we would kill for the body we currently have. I don’t mean to upset anyone from improving their health right now. But maybe we need to stop and smell the roses. We should be happy and grateful for our bodies exactly as they are.

That’s why NutriFit has changed into something much more holistic. Now we have every shape and size taking part, but the goals are so much bigger: disease prevention, more energy and clarity, better immunity, well-balanced hormones... the list goes on. Yes, we get great body part results, but you are about so much more than what your body looks like.

In my opinion, the key rule of a successful nutrition programme is to be based on real food. If you focus more on balanced diets and less on weight, it becomes a mentally healthier process. If you’re going to maintain your new, healthy lifestyle, it needs to be something you actively enjoy—a lifestyle that you want to maintain. If you eat healthily because you want to

rather than you have to, life gets 1,000 percent easier.

16.What did the author do to customize the programme for individuals? A.Analyze and adjust participants’ dietary structure. B.Examine participants’ physical health condition. C.Make clear of people’s health history and plans D.Introduce the programme in detail. 17.What made the author shocked?

A.People’s discontent with their previous life. B.People’s optimism about their current body.

C.People’s satisfaction with their former body. D.Peoples ambitious goals of losing weight.

18.What does NutriFit pay attention to now? A.People’s image. C.People’s weight

B.People’s health

D.People’s appearance

19.What should a successful nutrition programme focus on in the author’s view? A.A healthy lifestyle. C.Enough nutritious food Passage 6

(2022·辽宁实验中学一模)Many people think daydreaming is bad for their emotions and has negative effects on their life and those around them. It makes adapting to life very hard and brains work less effectively.

Contrary to common ideas, the brains of people who are daydreaming might not stop working, but may be working harder, new research has shown. Scientists scanned the brains of people lying inside magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines, as they pushed buttons or rested in turn. The scans showed that the “default (默认的) network” deep inside a human

B.£49.5.

C.£66.

D.£82.5.

brain becomes more active during daydreaming.

In a surprise finding, the scans also showed strong activity in the executive network, the outlying region of the brain associated with complex problem-solving, says Professor Kalina Christoff, who is a co-author of the study. “People assume that when the mind wanders away, it just gets turned off—but we show the opposite. When it wanders, it is turned on.” says Christoff.

The findings, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggest, “People who let themselves daydream might not think in the same focused way as when performing a goal-oriented task, but they bring in more mental and brain resources,” says Christoff.

F. Diane Barth said at Psychology Today that the more we daydream, the more our brain is able to hold onto the task when we are being bombarded (轰炸) from all sides by all kinds of noises, information input, and conflicting demands. You're not trying to escape the task at hand; rather, you're trying to get rid of all of the information and stimuli (刺激物) that could pose as bothers.

According to Christoff, people typically spend one third of their waking time daydreaming. “It is a big part of our lives, but it has been largely ignored by science,” she says. “The study is the first to use MRIs to study brain activity during spontaneous thoughts and subjective experiences. Until now the only way is to use self-reports that are not always reliable.”

23.What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A.Scientists.

B.Scans.

C.MRI machines.

D.Study subjects.

24.The findings by Christoff show daydreaming ________. A.may help us get relaxed

C.may use less energy than focusing

B.may be beneficial to our health D.may help us arrive at solutions faster

25.Which of the following may Barth agree with? A.Daydreaming provides us with many stimuli. B.Daydreaming is actually an act of concentration. C.Daydreaming can make us forget unhappy things. D.Daydreaming reminds us of more useful information. 26.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.MRIs are reliable to study brain activity.

B.People should spend more time daydreaming. C.More studies about daydreaming need to be done. D.People should make full use of daydreaming time. Passage 8

(2022·河北唐山·一模)When it comes to becoming eco-conscious, many people choose to start with something simple: recycling. But it’s not as simple as everyone seems to believe.

Indeed, the desire for some people to recycle can lead to ill-informed decisions about what can and cannot be recycled, and non-recyclable objects are accidentally put into the recycling bin. The practice is what is known as wishcycling.

Wishcycling boils down to the idea that just about anything can be recycled, and that if you put it into a recycling bin, those who are responsible for it will find a way to recycle it. This is obviously not true, because, despite everything that you’ve been told by the media, not everything is recyclable.

Small non-recyclable objects that are attached to recyclables are generally acceptable. For example, glue and tape attached to paper will be removed in the recycling process without any trouble. But improperly recycling broken eyeglasses, plastic shopping bags, food waste and greasy(油渍)pizza boxes could cause problems to the recycling process.

The objects in the recycling bin are typically sorted by machines at recycling centers, not people. These complex machines are designed to separate plastics, paper, and other recyclables. If something is thrown into the bin that shouldn’t be there, it could end up damaging the machine, which means the recycling center could lose time and money every time people decide to wishcycle. Sometimes, a non-recyclable object is able to sneak(溜)past these sorting machines. If this happens, the non-recyclable object ends up in a load of recyclables that will be sold for the recycling center to make a profit. However, having just one non-recyclable thing mixed in can pollute the entire load of recyclables, which has to be thrown away.

So what you as a consumer need to do is make your own recycling practice most functional. The best way is to educate yourself. There are certain general rules when it comes to recycling that everyone should know. 27.What do we know about wishcycling? A.It is misled by the media.

B.it leads to a better ecology.

C.It is related to ill intentions. D.It comes from people's hope.

28.Which of the following can be put into the recycling bin according to the passage? A.Paper with glue on it. C.Plastic shopping bags. 29.What is paragraph 5 about? A.The problems from wishcycling. C.The reasons for making less profit.

B.The need to update the machines. D.The objects unsuitable for recycling. B.Oily pizza boxes. D.Left-over food.

30.What might be talked about in the paragraph that follows? A.Reducing waste. C.Recycling properly. Passage 9

(2022·山西·一模)If you’re trying to build something that won’t sink, making it out of metal seems like a terrible idea. We make boats and ships out of metal because it’s strong and lasts a long time, but it weighs a lot and, if something goes wrong, there’s nothing stopping it from sinking to the bottom.

Researchers from the University of Rochester have come up with a potential solution. It’s a metal that absolutely hates water, strongly repelling (排斥) it and creating pockets of air that allow the metal to float under just about any circumstance. Its inventors believe it could revolutionize ship design and create truly unsinkable boats.

The secret is a special pattern that is etched (蚀刻) into the surface and that traps air and prevents water from making contact, pushing it away. The team says this superhydrophobic (超疏水的) etching technique was inspired by the natural world. The bodies of fire ants a hydrophobic, and spiders that make underwater webs use their bodies to trap air and carry them beneath the surface.

“The essential insight is that superhydrophobic surfaces can trap a large air volume, which points towards the possibility of using the surfaces to create buoyant devices,” the researchers explain in a new research paper.

To demonstrate how the metal behaves, the researchers designed an experiment with two

B.Paid training.

C.Job guidance.

D.High salary.

B.It provides the longest training. D.It helps return to school after the

seemingly identical metal discs. One of the disks was normal metal, while the other was the same material with the special etching technique applied. As you know, the superhydrophobic metal disc refused to sink, even when pushed deep beneath the water.

Perhaps even more important for real-world use cases, the metal keeps its water-repelling properties even when damaged, The researchers drilled several holes in the disc, revealing that it still floated on the surface even when its structural integrity was damaged. This proves that metal etched in such a way could be useful in the manufacturing of boats and ships, allowing them to remain afloat even when damaged. 34.What’s the feature of the special metal? A.It repels air. C.It is unsinkable.

B.It looks like a fire ant. D.Its surface is elegant.

35.What does the underlined word “buoyant” in paragraph 4 mean? A.Floating.

B.Creative.

C.Splendid.

D.Artificial.

36.How did the researchers carry out the experiment? A.By analysing reasons. C.By applying previous data.

37.What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.The metal has a bright future. C.The metal has been used widely. metal.

If this happens, the non-recyclable object ends up in a load of recyclables that will be sold for the recycling center to make a profit. However, having just one non-recyclable thing mixed in can pollute the entire load of recyclables, which has to be thrown away.(如果一些不该扔进(回收)垃圾箱的东西被扔进了进去,最终可能会损坏机器,这意味着每次人们决定wishcycling时回收中心就会浪费时间和金钱。有时候,一个不可回收的物体能够从这些分拣机器中偷偷溜走。如果发生这种情况,这些不可回收的物体最终会和一堆可回收的东西被出售给回收中心以获取利润。然而,只要掺有一种不可回收的东西就可能污染全部的可回收物,必须全部扔掉)”可知,本段主要介绍了wishcyling给回收中心带来的一些问题。故选A。 30.
