26、Environmentalists said our planet was bound to die. Now one man says they are wrong. “Everyone knows the planet is in bad shape,” thundered a magazine article last year. “Species are being driven to die out at record rates, and the rivers are so poisonous that fish are floating on the surface, dead.”
But there’s growing belief that what everyone takes for granted is wrong: Things are actually getting better. A new book is about to overturn our most basic assumptions about the world’s environment. Rivers, seas, rain and the atmosphere are all getting better.
The total amount of forests in the world is not declining. The Skeptical Environmentalist by Bjorn Lomborg, professor of statistics at the University of Aarhus in Denmark, is an attack on the misleading claims of environmental groups, and the “bad news” culture that makes people believe everything is getting worse.
Now the attacks are increasingly coming from left-wing environmentalists such as Lomborg, a former member of Greenpeace. The accusation is that, although the environment is improving, green groups — with profits of hundreds of millions of pounds a year — are using scare tactics (战术) to gain donations. Lomborg’s book doesn’t deny global warming — probably the biggest environmental threat — but destroys almost every other environmental claim with many official statistics.
The Worldwatch Institute claims that deforestation has been accelerating over the last 30 years. Buy Lomborg says that is simply rubbish. Since the dawn of agriculture the world has lost about 20% of its forest cover, but in recent decades the forest area’s depleting has come to a stop. According to UN figures, the area of forests has remained almost steady, at about 30% of total land area, since 1940s. Forests in countries such as the US, UK and Canada have actually been expanding over the past 40 years. Despite all the warnings the Amazon rainforest has only shrunk by about 15%.
Nor are all our species dying out. Some campaigners claim that 50% of all species will have died out within 50 years. But other studies show only 0.08% of species are dying out each year. Conservation efforts have been successful. Whales are no longer threatened and the bald eagle is off the endangered list.
Environmental groups claim that many of the improvements are the results of their campaigns. Stephen Tindale, director of Greenpeace UK, said, “There are important examples, such as acid rain and ozone, where things weren’t as bad as predicted, and that’s because our behaviour changed.”
【1】What is Lomborg’s main argument in The Skeptical Environmentalist?
A. Our planet is in bad shape.
B. The world’s environment is improving.
C. Conservation efforts have been successful.
D. The total amount of forests in the world is not declining.
【2】What is Lomborg’s main accusation of environmentalists?
A. They changed their behaviour toward the environment.
B. They only told people bad news about the environment.
C. They scared people into making donations.
D. They overturned our basic assumption about the world’s environment.
【3】The underlined word “depleting” is closes in meaning to “_______”.
A. accelerating B. limiting C. expanding D. reducing
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Are all species dying out? B. Isn’t conservation powerful?
C. Is Our Planet Bound to Die? D. Aren’t environmentalists wrong?
27、Saturday was my husband’s birthday, but we spent most of the time in the car. We were driving to Phoenix for the weekend to celebrate his birthday and see the Warriors play the Suns.
My husband is a lucky man. Not only has he lived to see another birthday, but he doesn’t mind driving 200 miles to see an NBA basketball game.
In the car, his cellphone kept ringing with birthday greetings from family and friends. He put them all on the speakerphone so he could drive with both hands and I could listen in even though it wasn’t my birthday.
Meanwhile, on the CD player, the Reverend AL Green began to sing Love and Happiness. A little good music makes a bad road better.
Four hours later, we checked into hotel, got dinner and sat out a rooftop feeling glad to be alive.
We had a great weekend—we ate too much, slept too little and the Warriors, well, they lost. But still, it was worth the drive.
On the way home, I started thinking about birthdays. In our family, we celebrate four in January, four in February, and all the others throughout the year. Mine is next week.
I felt lucky, like my husband, I will get cards and calls and maybe a few videos. I don’t need presents any more. When you’ve seen as many birthdays as I have seen, the only gift you truly want is to see one more.
Birthdays are the mile markers on the road of life. They tell us how far we have come, but not how far we have gone.
Life is a journey more than a destination. What matters is whom we choose as traveling companions, and how often we get to sit back and enjoy the ride.
【1】What helps to make their long journey drive to Phoenix better?
A. The phone calls from their friends.
B. The music played on their CD player.
C. The beautiful view along the road.
D. The desire to celebrate a nice birthday.
【2】What kind of birthday gift does the author really want?
A. A wish to live another year.
B. Calls and cards from friends.
C. A live NBA game
D. Videos from friends and family.
【3】What is the major lesson that the author took from the journey?
A. People should learn to appreciate life together with their loved ones.
B. Taking a long drive is a great way to celebrate a birthday.
C. A meaningful life is like a journey with a clear destination.
D. People shouldn’t rest on what they have but try to make new achievements.
【4】What could be the best title for this passage?
A. My lucky Husband
B. Driving to See a Basketball Game
C. Mile Markers on the Road of Life
D. A birthday journey
28、The Best Time To Visit Masai Mara
High season
Months: June, July, August, September & October
These are the best months to visit the Masai Mara as it is the long dry season with little or no rainfall. It is easy to spot animals as the bush is less thick and animals gather around available water sources and rivers. It is the best time to witness the Great Migration herds. Accommodation cost will also be high, and as this is the busiest period, so bookings in advance are essential!
Green season
Months: April, May & November
The long rains occur during April and May and short rains in November. Mornings are usually clear and dry, with clouds building into dramatic thunderstorms by late afternoon. A plus to travel during the green season is that fewer people are travelling, which means fewer people and low lodge(旅舍)prices. Some of the lodges and camps close down during these months.
Shoulder season
Months: December, January, February & March
These shoulder months are a time of transition(过渡). Temperatures start to fall off, and migratory birds move on. Animals start to gather in areas where they know there will be water. For birdwatchers they are the best months, as in addition to the resident species, migratory birds, coming here from Europe to spend the winter, are also present. January and February are the best months to witness the birth of wildebeest, zebra and antelope.
【1】What is special about the high season?
A．It rains a lot.
B．Lodge prices are high.
C．More birds migrate here.
D．Many zebras are born.
【2】When can you spend the least money travelling to Masai Mara?
A．In September.
B．In October.
C．In November.
D．In December.
【3】What is the text?
A．A travel guide.
B．A news report.
C．A children’s story.
D．A diary entry.
29、 Jamie Whitmore, 43, isn't used to slowing down. The professional athlete who became a gold medalist of Olympics for the disabled has never met a challenge she couldn't overcome, whether it was a mountain bike race-or cancer.
One morning in 2007, Whitmore found her leg muscles were tight when trying for a jog. Thinking she’d pushed herself too hard in the last race, she ignored the pain. Later at a sports camp in Arizona, she realized something was wrong. “Once I got on my bike I was so painful that it was hard to pick my legs up. I flew back home to go to a hospital.” What doctors found shocked them all: Whitmore had a soft tissue tumor (肿瘤)that started in the bone, and the tumor was wrapped around her nerve of waist, touching several vital organs.
After the surgery, Whitmore had to learn to walk again with the help of a physical doctor. She also started radiation treatment, but four months later, doctors had worse news: A scan had shown the cancer was back. “This time it was more aggressive. Doctors took the rest of my nerve in the waist, and removed some cancer from my tail bone. ” Whitmore developed sepsis(败血症) from the surgery and endured a two-month recovery. “My scans were coming back clear of cancer, but now I had all of these other complications(并发症).”
Today, Whitmore is a mother and cancer-free. She has won a gold medal in the Paralympics, and has set two world records. Whitmore has some advice for others with limitations: Never let anyone tell you what you can and cannot do. You have to find out yourself. Some doctors told me I would never ride anything more than a stationary bike. And yet I rode my mountain bike 104 miles climbing from 9,000 feet to 14,000 feet. You just can't give up.”

Jenny was the only child in her home. She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help crying sadly when she thought of the scolding (责骂) from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was impossible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave.
The seller noticed the young girl and asked “Hey, do you want to have the noodles?”
“Oh, yes ... but I don’t have money on me ...” she replied.
“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man, “come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of tasty noodles. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.
“What is it?” asked the man kindly.
“I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears, “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother, drove me out of the house. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled “I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?”
Jenny sat there, speechless, she remembered mother’s familiar face. “Why did I not think of that? I appreciated a bowl of noodles from a stranger, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.”
On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.
