21、 “If you take care of the birds, you take care of most of the big environmental problems in the world.”
That’s what Thomas Lovejoy, a well-known biologist, says. He helped introduce the term “biological diversity” to the world. And he long ago predicted that by the early 21st century, the Earth would start losing a surprising number of species-a prediction, unfortunately, that is turning out to be true.
We were taken with what Lovejoy said about birds and decided to use it as a launch pad(跳板) for marking 2018 as the Year of the Bird by National Geographic. Hopefully, this will help raise people’s awareness of this problem. In this 12-month multiplatform exploration, we’ll examine how our changing environment is leading to great losses among bird species around the globe. And just as important, we’ll record what we can do about it.
At National Geographic we’ve been looking at the planet’s health from a bird’s-eye view for a long time. This magazine has featured birds on its cover more often than it has featured other popular creatures-at least 30 times, 13 times compared with apes. And the National Geographic Society has awarded hundreds of funds(资金) for the scientific study of birds.
In 2018, we’ll take our coverage of topics affecting birds to a new level. In this issue we launch a year of storytelling with “Why Birds Matter”, an essay by best-selling author Jonathan Franzen. It’s paired with remarkable photographs of birds created by National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore.
Why is National Geographic focusing so much attention on birds? That’s just another way of asking, as Franzen does. Why do birds matter? Among his fluent answers: “They are our last, best connection to a natural world that is otherwise moving gradually away from us.”
【1】Why is the year 2018 called the Year of Bird?
A.To introduce different kinds of birds.
B.To record what we can do to help birds.
C.To draw public attention to the loss of bird species.
D.To examine the environmental influences on birds.
【2】What is “Why Birds Matter”?
A.It is a magazine with many essays. B.It is an article with many photos.
C.It is a report with many topics. D.It is an organization to raise money.
【3】What can we know about National Geographic from the passage?
A.It focuses more on birds than other creatures.
B.It receives sums of money to research on birds.
C.It’s the last connection between man and nature.
D.It’s popular with famous biologists and authors.
22、A British shopper, Emma Mumford, who was named “the Coupon(优惠券) Queen” has spent just £350 on a luxury(奢侈) Christmas for her and her family—but got £2,500 worth of food, drink and presents thanks to coupons and offers.
Ms Mumford is a so-called “extreme couponer” and spends hours hunting out the best deals and bargains. She has been preparing for this Christmas since the end of the last one. Ms Mumford made the huge savings by checking price comparison websites and as a result collected more presents than she needed for Christmas. After sorting out gifts for all of her family, she has even been able to donate £1,000 worth of presents to her local hospital.
“It has been so nice to have Christmas sorted and not having to worry about breaking the bank. I wanted to get high quality presents for my family and show that you can do it without spending a fortune. There is a misconception that everyone who does couponing only gets value products but through my careful shopping I have managed to purchase designer perfumes(香水), a high-end coffee machine.” she explained.
She said “What started as a hobby to help me save money has turned into my life and I am able to run a business helping people save money. I know what it feels like to struggle as my ex-partner had a lot of debt which I took on for him. We were in a poor situation where every penny counted. That’s what really inspired me.”
She has now turned her bargain-hunting addiction into a business where she searches for the best deals and offers tips to the general public through video blogging and her Facebook Page.
“I try and show people that it is just a little bit of work in the beginning but it will eventually pay off. One of the best things to do is just to be a bit forward thinking and save throughout the year.”
【1】What does “breaking the bank” in the third paragraph mean?
A. Buying presents of low quality.
B. Breaking into the bank.
C. Spending more money than you have.
D. Taking out money from the bank.
【2】What really inspired Emma to help people save money?
A. Her addiction to bargain-hunting.
B. The financial difficulties she shared with her ex-partner.
C. The poor situation people around her were going through.
D. Her experience of running an unsuccessful business.
【3】Which of the following can best describe Emma?
A. Ambitious and creative.
B. Sensitive and determined.
C. Brave and lucky.
D. Careful and caring.
【4】How did Emma make the huge savings?
A. She compared prices through websites.
B. She hunted out bargains in real shops.
C. She used coupons and offers worth £3,500.
D. She collected more Christmas presents than needed.
23、You know, I keep telling all my students to keep practicing English. But, then, how do you do that？ Well, some changes on a daily basis will help you to improve your English language, so let's have a look.
【1】
Staying informed about what's happening in the world is a great habit—do that in English! Rather than picking up a newspaper in your native language, start picking up English newspapers. Start watching BBC and CNN. Trust me, this will also build your listening skills and help you to build your vocabulary.
Read children's book
【2】, “Oh, my God. I am too big to read these books.” The language that is used in these books is, of course, for children. So, no big words are used. Instead, simple language is used, which children can understand. 【3】, which will help you understand what is written about.
Keep a book
Every night, spend five minutes writing about what you did throughout the day.【4】.Also you can add new phrases or new words that you have learned. And then, whenever you want to refer to them, you can just quickly have a look.
Speak in English with someone
【5】. Be it a friend or a family member, don't be embarrassed about it. Just go ahead and start practicing. So, rather than being nervous or trying to struggle with words, a partner would help you to correct that.
A．Just go ahead and do that
B．Read and watch news in English
C．Find a partner to practice the language
D．And you can just write up a small story
E．Now don't be embarrassed about doing that
F．And, of course, there are lots of pictures in these book
G．If you start keeping a book, it would help you to write better
24、Be a good tourist
Tourism can be good or bad. Yes, it brings in money for the local economy and creates lots of jobs for locals, but it may also bring some problems.
【1】 Tourists have used paint, rocks or even keys to write on the Luxor Temple in Egypt, the Colosseum in Rome, Stonehenge in the UK, memorial stones at the bottom of Qomolangma, and many, many other places. Thousands of tourist sites are being destroyed by tourists who “love them to death”. 【2】 If you want to leave a mark on the world, do it by changing someone’s life with kindness and love. Pass kindness along to future generations, not destruction.
Another big problem in some places has been tourists disturbing the local people and life. 【3】 For example, Chang Mai University in Tailand and Yonsei University in South Korea have great numbers of tourists visiting their campuses and walking through their libraries and other public areas, taking pictures of students and disturbing their studies. I have three words for tourists like this: please be considerate. 【4】
The number of problems from tourists is endless: walking in large groups without considering others who need to walk by, crossing roads without observing local traffic laws, and many more. The only way to solve the issue of the terrible tourist is to make sure that you not the one! 【5】
Remember, whenever you step outside your country’s borders, you are representing your country to the rest of the world.
A．Just think from other aspects.
B．When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
C．Have fun in a way that does not disturb others.
D．Be the best, kindest, most polite tourist possible.
E．I have three words for people like this: please stop it.
F．One growing problem is tourists who want to prove that they have visited someplace.
G．Some tourists wander around and take pictures of local people without asking for their permission.
