21、Located 150 miles south of mainland Australia, Tasmania is known for its wildlife and landscape, including unique plant and animal species. Perhaps its most famous native animal is the Tasmanian devil, a small but violent animal. The island was also home to a large wolf-like Tasmanian tiger. It lived among the island’s famous giant tree ferns(树蕨), but was hunted by people until the last known animal died in a zoo in 1936.
A team of Australian scientists have discovered that Tasmania is now carbon negative, meaning it absorbs more carbon dioxide gas(CO2)than it gives off. The team say their findings show the importance of forests in fighting climate change.
Large quantities of CO2 act as a greenhouse gas, trapping heat in the Earth’s atmosphere and causing climate change. Many countries have plans to become “carbon neutral”(碳中和), but Tasmania is one of the first places in the world to go carbon negative.
The fact came to light when a team from Australian National University(ANU)looked into the CO2 emissions(排放)of each Australian state. CO2 is produced by activities such as burning coal, oil and gas for power, but is also released when forests are cut down—especially if the wood is used to make paper and similar products. On the other hand, living forests absorb large amounts of CO2. In 2011, campaigners blocked plans to build a large new paper factory in Tasmania, leading to a large decline in cutting down Tasmania’s forests. Consequently, CO2 emissions dropped sharply and allowed forests to continue growing instead. Much of Tasmania’s power comes from hydroelectricity, which does not give off CO2.
Scientists say that Tasmania’s achievement shows the important role of forests in managing CO2. They say preserving forests around the world could help many countries to absorb more CO2. “We need to store a lot more carbon in the environment,” explained Professor David Lindemayer of ANU, adding that “the most effective place to do that is in forests.”
【1】Which is TRUE about the Tasmanian tiger?
A.It was a small but violent animal.
B.It went extinct because of hunting.
C.Too much CO2 emission put it on the line.
D.Large clearing of trees led to its dying out.
【2】What can we learn about Tasmania?
A.Zero CO2 emissions help it go green.
B.Masses of forests help it go carbon negative.
C.It doesn’t need to fight climate change any more.
D.It covers the largest areas of forests in the world.
【3】What does paragraph 4 convey?
A.Many CO2 emissions arise from human activities.
B.Paper factories have a great prospect in Tasmania.
C.People are not allowed to cut down trees in Tasmania.
D.Hydroelectricity is the only energy source in Tasmania.
【4】What does David Lindemayer probably express in the last paragraph?
A.Carbon is posing the biggest threat to the earth.
B.Forests are the most effective places to trap heat.
C.He’s proud of Tasmania’s achievement in managing CO2.
D.Preserving forests could best help battle climate change.
22、The office has always been a place to get ahead. Unfortunately, It is also a place where a lot of natural resources start to fall behind. Take a look around next time you’re at work. See how many lights are left on when people leave. See how much paper is being wasted. How much electricity is being used to run computers that are left on. Look at how much water is being wasted in the rest-rooms. And how much solid waste is being thrown out in the rubbish cans. We bet it’s a lot.
Now, here are some simple ways you can produce less waste at work. When you are at the copier, only make the copies you need. Use both sides of the paper when writing something less important. Turn off your lights when you leave. Use a lower watt bulb in your lamp. Drink your coffee or tea out of your mugs instead of single-use cups. Set up a recycling box for cans and one for bottles. And when you’re in the bathroom brushing your teeth or washing your face, don’t let the tap run. Remember, if we use fewer resources today, we’ll save more for tomorrow.

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Does Kilimanjaro Still Have Its Beauty?
Kilimanjaro is a watershed (分水岭)between Tanzania and Kenya. It is a volcano and a snowy mountain. Surrounded by mountain forests, Kilimanjaro is home to numerous mammals, some of which are endangered. Kilimanjaro was established as a national park in 1968 and was added to the World Heritage List in 1981. In the Tanzanians’ mind, Kilimanjaro is not just a bright mountain, and it is also an interesting mountain. Kilimanjaro is a world-famous tourist resort with the world's explorers and mountain enthusiasts gathering there.
Every year about 40,000 people attempt to climb Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. They bring with them lots of waste. The crowds might damage the beauty of the place. The glaciers are disappearing, changing the face of Kilimanjaro. Hearing these stories, I’m wondering about the place-other destinations are described as purer natural experiences.
However, I soon discover that much has changed since the days of disturbing reports of camps among tons of rubbish. I find a clean mountain, with toilets at camps and along the paths. The environmental challenges are significant but the efforts made by the Tanzania National Park Authority seem to be paying off.
The best of a Kilimanjaro experience, in my opinion, isn’t reaching the top. Mountains are regarded as spiritual places by many cultures. This view is especially evident on Kilimanjaro as climbers go through five ecosystems in the space of a few kilometers. At the base is a rainforest. It ends suddenly at 3, 000 meters, giving way to lands of low growing plants. Further up, the weather changes—low clouds envelope the mountainsides covered with thick grass. I count twelve shades of green from where I stand. Above 4, 000 meters is the highland desert: gravel (砾石),stones and rocks. Finally, you climb into an arctic-like zone with permanent snow and the glaciers that may soon disappear.
Does Kilimanjaro deserve its reputation as a crowded mountain with lines of tourists ruining the atmosphere of peace? I found the opposite to be true.
