21、 Good day, everybody …
Just two weeks ago I shared some of my thoughts about the green economy in an event organised by Sciences Po and Ecolo Ethik in Paris. Inevitably my main messages will be repeated, but I hope they will be still fresh for such a young and fresh audience. You are future policy makers, leaders and active members of our society. I believe that you have a very important role to play in shaping this world, your own future.
On 7th June last year a scientific article in the journal Nature stated the following: “Today conditions are very different because global-scale forces including, but not limited to, climate change, have emerged as a direct result of human activities. Human population growth and per-capita consumption rate underlie all of the other present drivers for global change”.
The world’s population is increasing by about 140.000 people per day. In just 30 years - one generation - 2 billion people more will share the planet, which is more than the total amount of the population on the planet at the beginning of the 20th Century. On top of that, in just over 15 years from now, there will be an additional 3 billion middle class consumers, which corresponds to twice the total population at the beginning of the previous century.
Of course, this is great for those 3 billion whose living standards will rise, and for the businesses that will succeed in providing for those demands, but this will put great stress on many resources. We will need three times more resources -140 billion tons annually- by 2050. The demand for food, feed and fiber is projected to increase by 70%.
To put it simply: the world has changed. We are more interconnected and interdependent than ever. Many challenges, like climate change, disappearing biodiversity, scarce resources (like water, land or oceans), potential pandemics, poverty, global security … can only be addressed if we join our forces. Looking to the future, the “business as usual” scenario simply will not work. Transition from our current resource intensive growth model to a resource efficient growth model is absolutely necessary. It is actually inevitable for all our economies. For the first time, we humans, are affecting the balance of our planet.
For the past two centuries we have relied on an economic growth model based on cheap and abundant resources. This great acceleration has been a fantastic achievement of the generations of humans that have so successfully overcome so many obstacles to bring such unimagined health and prosperity. But we cannot go on growing in the resource-intensive way we did in the past; certainly not on a global scale. Today the richest 20% of the world consume about 60 times more than the poorest 20%. Just imagine the stress on the world’s resources if the rest of the world would live the same way as we do.

A.It plays an important role in shaping young people’s future.

22、 Ecuador is one of the smallest countries in South Africa, but it definitely outshines its neighbors with impressive diversity and unique landscapes.
Explore the history of Quito
The capital of Ecuador stands at more than 2,850 meters above sea level, so be careful of altitude sickness if you're flying directly into the city. Quito consists of three different districts, including the Old Town, where you can see colonial (殖民地时期的)style architecture and churches.
Straddle (跨立于)the equator
As you may have guessed from the country's name, the equator actually cuts through Ecuador. The line just lies outside of Quito, at the spot where explorers calculated the line in 1736. These days, the spot is a tourist attraction with a painted yellow line indicating the equator.
Hike the Cotopaxi volcano
Standing at around 5, 897 meters above seal level, Cotopaxi is the world's third-tallest active volcano. It's also one of the few places worldwide where you'll find glaciers so close to the equator. Climbing the great snow-covered volcano is absolutely one of the highlights.
Explore the Amazon
The Amazon extends across Ecuador s eastern part and stretches into several other South American countries. The massive forest houses at least 10% of the world's species, including 1,600 different species of birds and plenty of mammals. Although Brazil's Manaus and Peru's Iquitos are more popular with travelers, Ecuador' s Lago Agrio is the cheapest gateway to the Amazon in South Africa.
【1】What can travelers do if they visit Ecuador according to the text?
A．Go surfing at a beach.
B．Try the thrilling skydiving.
C．Wander across the equator.
D．Take a close look at some wild animals.
【2】Why are people advised to enter the Amazon from Ecuador's Lago Agrio?
A．It offers a shorter way.
B．It is a much safer route.
C．They can spend less money.
D．They can enjoy more natural scenery.
【3】What do we know about Quito?
A．It is a newly-built city.
B．It is located on the plain.
C．There is a volcano near it.
D．It is made up of three different districts.
23、A recent study has shown that eating a small amount of dark chocolate every day could be good for your health. Scientists have found that a regular 2 ounces can help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of having a heart attack or stroke（中风）without any weight gain. But take care before you reach for a large bar. The effects are canceled out if more than 30 calories are taken into your body each day, the researchers warn.
It’s already known that a chemical called polyphenol（多酚）, found in chocolate, can help reduce blood pressure, and blood pressure lowered in this way can reduce the risk of death from a stroke by 8 percent and from a heart attack by 5 percent, scientists declare. And it can also reduce the risk or death in general by 4 percent.
A daily diet with a little chocolate has the same effect with some special diets designed to lower blood pressure, according to one researcher. “Although all the degree of the blood pressure reduction is small, the effects are quite obvious,” the researchers said.
However, Sara Stanner, a nutritionist at the British Heart Foundation, is quite cautious. “This study suggests that small quantities of small chocolate might have good effects on blood pressure. However, it is important to remember that chocolate is also high in fat and calories. So eating much is not good for your heart.” “Polyphenols are also found in fruits and vegetables, which can be taken in without the risks associated with overintake,” she added.
But the German study shows that the fat content does not cancel out the good effects—at least where small amounts are concerned.
【1】How is Paragraph 2 developed?
A. By making comparisons. B. By listing figures.
C. By analyzing causes. D. By giving examples.
【2】What health benefits does dark chocolate have?
A. It lowers blood pressure heavily.
B. It may prevent heart attacks in a way.
C. It’s useful for controlling one’s weight.
D. It helps people strengthen their body.
【3】What do Sara Stanner’s words suggest?
A. Eating chocolate has no health benefits.
B. Dark chocolate is not so nutritious as expected.
C. The findings of scientist’s study are not scientific.
D. Eating fruits and vegetables may be a better choice.
【4】What will be discussed in the following passage?
A. Some details of the German study.
B. Benefits of fruits and vegetables.
C. Harm of overeating dark chocolate.
D. The proper amount of dark chocolate taken in.
