21、As one of the biggest topics of the last decade, sustainability has become the beacon (灯塔) of hope to protect the planet. From supermarkets taking action on plastic packaging to the zero was to movement that can be practised from your kitchen, changes made by individuals and organizations across the globe have had an impact on the way we think shop and live.
So what does that mean for the world of technology? You’d be forgiven for thinking that the words “sustainable” and “technology” don’t usually go hand in hand. E-waste is, after all, one of tho planet’s biggest contributing waste streams. Not only that, but the materials that go into technology products are also part of the problem.
But with a challenge comes an opportunity, and there’s already some brilliant progress happening —great news for those of us wanting to be more sustainable with our technology. Firstly renewed products are having its moment. While consumers would previously turn their noses up the idea of a second-hand device, there’s been a huge surge in demand for renewed technology products.The second major step in tackling the problem of e-waste is a change in attitudes from owning a product to subscribing for one. A subscription for a smartphone might sound like a foreign concept, but it’s already gaining momentum. At the forefront of this movement is a London-base technology startup, which offers a subscription service for the latest smartphones. As customer aren’t paying to own the phone at the end of their contract, the monthly price is significantly low than average.
Studies show that extending a phone’s lifespan from one to four years can decrease environmental impact by about 40%. So the next time it comes to refreshing your device-whether a smartphone, laptop, tablet or something else-consider the more environmentally friendly options that are at your fingertips.
【1】What’s the purpose of paragraph 1?
A.To change the way we think shop and live.

【2】What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A.High-tech products are in short supply.
B.E-waste contributes to the biggest waste streams.
C.The two sustainability problems in technology.
D.Ignoring sustainable technology is unforgivable.
【3】What is present consumers’ attitude towards a second-hand device?
A.Supportive.
B.unacceptable.
C.Sympathy.
D.Doubtful
【4】How can we become sustainable in technology according to the text?

23、 Marco Springmann and his colleagues, at the Oxford Martin School's Future of Food Programme, built computer models that predicted what would happen if everyone became vegetarian by 2050. The results indicate that if the world went vegan, the greenhouse gas emissions declines would be around 70%.
In the US, for example, an average family of four emits more greenhouse gases because of the meal they eat than from driving two cars——but it is cars, not steaks, that regularly come up in discussions about global warming.
Food, especially livestock, also takes up a lot of room. 68% of agricultural land in the world is used for livestock. When these lands become grasslands and forests, they would capture carbon dioxide and further ease climate change.
However, if the whole world went vegan, there would be negative effects too. First, it is necessary to keep livestock for environmental purposes. "I'm sitting here in Scotland where the Highlands' environment is very man-made and based largely on grazing by sheep," says Peter Alexander, a researcher in socio-ecological systems modeling at the University of Edinburgh. "If we took all the sheep away, the environment would look different and there would be a potential negative impact on biodiversity. "
Plus, meat is an important part of history , tradition and cultural identity. Numerous groups around the world give livestock gifts at weddings, celebratory dinners such as Christmas with turkey or roast beef.
And nowadays, moderation in meal-eating's frequency and portion size is key to solving these conflicts. "Certain changes would encourage us to make healthier and more environmentally friendly dietary decisions," says Springmann, "like putting a higher price lag on meat and making fresh fruits and vegetables cheaper. "
In fact, clear solutions already exist for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the livestock industry. What is lacking is the will to implement those changes.
【1】What can we infer from the underlined sentence in the second paragraph?
A.Driving cars is more dangerous than eating steaks in the US.
B.Our dietary choices affecting climate change is often underestimated.
C.People compare the greenhouse gas emissions of the cars and steaks.
D.Cars affect the global warming more seriously than the steaks.
【2】Why does Peter Alexander mention the sheep?
A.To show the important impact of livestock on the environment.
B.To show his work as a researcher in the socio-ecological systems.
C.To encourage people to take all the sheep back for environmental purpose.
D.To point out the negative impact of the sheep on the biodiversity.
【3】Which saying can best show the author's attitude to livestock?
A.It is hard to please all.
B.Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
C.One cannnot see the wood for the trees.
D.Everything is a double-edged sword.
【4】Where is this text most likely from?
A.A biology textbook. B.A health magazine.
C.A scientific journal. D.An educational review.
24、 Deciduous forests(落叶林) are home to many wild animals. The development and expansion of human presence in the forests has caused many of their native species to become endangered.
Giant Panda
The giant panda, one of the most recognizable endangered species, is a large, docile species of bear native to the deciduous forest of eastern China, Myanmar and Vietnam. Because of its lim-ited diet— the panda’ s main source of food is bamboo— the species is limited in its habitat to areas where bamboo is available. Now the species only can be found today in 20 small patches of forest at the western edge of its historic range.
Gray and Red Wolves
The gray wolf, which once ranged from the East Coast of America to the West, and south to Mexico, now has a population of only 5, 000 in the lower 48 states, mostly in the Rocky Mountains. The smaller red wolf, native to the southeastern United States, was declared extinct in the wild in 1980, though conservation efforts have reintroduced small captive populations to the wild in California.
Red-Crowned Crane
The red-crowned crane is native to Japan, Korea and eastern China. Agricultural expansion and deforestation (森林砍伐) in these areas have removed a great deal of the marshes and forests that are the crane’ s primary habitats. For a time, the crane was thought to have completely disappeared from Japan, but the recent discovery of cranes in Japanese marshlands has restarted conservation efforts. Today, around 2, 500 cranes live in the wild, including 1,000 in Japan.
European Mink
Native to Europe, the European mink ranges from France in the west to Finland in the north, Russia in the east and the Balkans in the south. Destruction of the mink’ s aquatic (水的) habitat and use of the species for fur have caused dramatic drops in the species’ population, which has been reduced by 85 percent since the mid-19th century.
【1】What has caused the wild animals to become endangered?
A.Global warming. B.International trade.
C.Environmental pollution. D.The invasion of mankind.
