21、Efforts to preserve the Amazon rain forest, which supports immense biodiversity and locks away tons of climate threatening carbon, are growing more urgent as the ecosystem’s destruction accelerates. Indigenous (当地的) peoples have been trying to protect the region by patrolling (巡逻) their territorial boundaries for illegal activities. But rapid deforestation continues.
A recent study shows that combining on-the-ground monitoring with satellite data and smartphone technology could help put the brakes on Amazon deforestation—and potentially that of forests elsewhere.
Illegal logging, agriculture and coca cultivation particularly threaten the Amazon in the Peruvian Indigenous communities and outsiders are often the culprits (罪魁祸首). The research team wondered if providing training for local people to use satellite-based “early deforestation alerts” could help. The scientists collaborated with 76 Indigenous communities, 36 of which participated in using these alerts to watch over the forest. Over the next two years these trained participants were paid to work as forest monitors and received monthly alerts via the app when satellite data indicated local forest losses. Monitors investigated alerts, patrolled for deforestation in other areas and reported confirmed losses back to their communities, which decided whether to deal with the culprits on their own or inform state authorities.
The researchers analyzed the same forest-loss satellite data from the given time period in all 76 communities. They found the early-alert program reduced forest loss by 8.4 hectares in the first two year—a 52% reduction compared with the average loss in the control communities.
Experts say this approach to tackling Amazonian deforestation looks promising. “Would this work in all communities that have high risk of deforestation? Given the results, it’s worth a try.” says Catherine Tucker, a researcher at the University of Florida. “But some communities may not have access to the resources needed for such a program, or their territories may hold valuable minerals that would increase the risk of deforestation by outsiders despite monitoring efforts,” wrote Francisco Hernandez Cayetano, a community member involved in the research, “we as Indigenous peoples ask the world for support.”
【1】Why did the research team conduct the program?
A.To stop carbon being locked away.
B.To tackle Amazon deforestation.
C.To monitor satellite movement.
D.To control illegal activities.
【2】How does the community-based monitoring work?
A.By offering locals training in using a smartphone app.
B.By combining local monitoring with smartphone alerts.
C.By organizing native people to fight against the outsiders.
D.By equipping local forest with satellite data and monitors.
【3】What is Catherine Tucker’s attitude toward the approach to preventing deforestation?
A.Pessimistic.
B.Objective.
C.Approving.
D.Conventional.
【4】Which can be the best title for the text?
A.Local Monitors Trained for Forest Loss.
B.Satellite Data Cure Deforestation.
C.Outsiders Are to Blame for Forest Loss.
D.Smart Patrol Fights Deforestation.
22、C
Justin Bieber may have millions of fans worldwide, but Russia’s bears don’t appear to admire the pop singer’s music --- which proved fortunate for one lucky fisherman.
Igor Vorozhbitsyn had his life saved by a Justin Bieber ringtone, when his mobile phone went off during a dangerous attack by a brown bear.
The 42-year-old was attacked as he was walking to a favourite fishing spot in northern Russia’s Yakutia Republic and firmly believed that he was going to be killed.
Wildlife experts believe the ringtone must have frightened the bear into stopping its attack.
‘Sometimes a sharp shock can stop an angry bear in its attack and that ringtone would be a very unexpected sound for a bear,’ explained one.
Mr Vorozhbitsyn suffered from cuts and severe wounds and was rescued when he was found by other fishermen after using the phone to call for help.
Mr Vorozhbitsyn ---now recovering from his wounds---explained: ‘I had parked my car and was walking towards the spot I’d marked out when there was a tremendous impact on my back and the bear was on top of me.’
‘I couldn’t believe my luck when the phone went off and it run away.’
‘I know that sort of ringtone isn’t to everyone’s taste but my granddaughter loaded it onto my phone for a joke,’ he added.
Adult brown bears can weigh as much as 600kg and have been known to kill wolves and even Siberian tigers.
Finally, this is a proof that Justin Bieber is unbearable

C. Justin Bieber’s music is threatening.
D. Even bears cannot stand Justin Bieber’s music.
23、How to travel light
Packing for a trip should be about getting together the essentials, not filling up a suitcase with your whole wardrobe. Too much baggage will weigh you down during your travels. Fortunately, travelling heavy is completely avoidable.
Downsizing your luggage
Limit the number of bags you bring. The more bags you take with you on your trip, the heavier your travel load will feel. If you’re only going away for a few days, try to fit everything you’re bringing into one suitcase or one backpack. If your trip is longer, limit yourself to two bags. Don’t spread your travel belongings out across multiple bags if it’s not necessary. One full suitcase will be easier to travel with than two half-full suitcases. If you’re flying to your destination, try to fit all your belongings in a carry-on size bag. It will be easier to get on and off the plane, and you won’t have to pay to check a bag.
Downsizing your travel wardrobe(服装)
Check the weather before you leave. If it’s calling for sunshine and warm weather every day of your trip, you don’t need to pack a heavy sweater or a rain jacket. If you’re worried the weather could change, remember that you can always buy or borrow something at your destination. Pack practical shoes you can wear on multiple occasions. Avoid packing a different pair of shoes for every day or event during your trip. Shoes can’t be folded or rolled up in your bag to save space. Aim for two pairs of shoes if possible, a casual pair of walking shoes and then something nicer for when you’ re in a more formal setting.
【1】Which is the right measure to downsize our luggage?
A.Prepare one suitcase and one backpack.
B.Fit all your things you bring in one full suitcase or bag.
C.Take at least two bags for a longer trip.
D.Put all your belongings in two half-full suitcases.
【2】What is suggested for weather change?
A.Check the weather as often as possible.
B.Take your trip only on sunny or warm days.
C.Buy or borrow something after you arrive.
D.Always pack a heavy sweater or a rain jacket.
【3】What kind of book is the text probably taken from?
A.A science magazine.
B.A nature magazine.
C.A health journal.
D.A tourist guide.
24、Animals are living creatures and most of us often forget about this. Although they can’t speak our language, they can understand us. But some people treat them badly. 【1】. Sometimes these little creatures can’t help themselves. So they need you to help them. You don’t have to spend money, though. Here are a few ways you can contribute to animal welfare.
Volunteer at the local animal shelters
If you can’t give money to animal shelters, you can visit a local animal shelter and offer your help. You don’t have to have any special skills to help animals. 【2】.
Report any form of animal abuse (虐待)
If you know someone beats their pets to death or doesn’t feed them for weeks, report the case of animal abuse. 【3】. Don’t keep silent. Let others know how that person treats animals. This way, you may save the lives of those poor animals.
Have a plant-based diet
【4】. While meat tastes delicious, think of how one animal is killed so that you can eat that steak.
【5】
Break the habit of buying things that contain animal products. Many beauty items, especially face creams and lipsticks, contain animal products. So be sure you don’t buy them. Everyone should avoid anything that includes leather, silk or fur.
Animals deserve to live their lives free from abuse, pain and suffering. They are sensitive, emotional, and intelligent. They are living creatures that need our help. Don’t neglect (疏于照顾) them.
A.Stop buying items that contain animal products
B.Some diseases are linked to eating animal products
C.No one has the right to abuse animals or leave them hungry or sick
D.It is one of the easiest ways to reduce the demand for animal products
