You can only visit Ouwehands Zoo with an online ticket during a reserved period to prevent the park from getting too busy.

24、It’s a simple yet effective message that appeals, and leads to a satisfying way of motivating us to promote environmentalism in our own way.
Born in Nairobi, Lesein Mutunkei is in his late teens, and his Trees4Goals is the means with which he intends to make the world greener. It unites two of his self-declared passions in life: love of the outdoors, with his love of football. Lesein enjoyed walking in the forest, but recognised his country was experiencing a serious loss of tree cover. Between 2001 and 2020, Kenya lost an estimated 11% of trees, releasing as many as 176 million tons of CO2.
In a blog post for WWF Kenya, Lesein revealed that, once he started the Trees4Goals initiative, he originally planned to plant one tree per goal. By 2020, he wanted to take his efforts even further. What started as one tree planted per goal mushroomed into 11 trees planted per goal. Explaining the reasoning behind expanding the tree-planting, he said, “It represents team effort in football and the contribution by my team. I have managed to hit the 1, 000th tree milestone in the last two years.”
While it’s something of an own goal to destroy the forests and jungles providing enormous biodiversity, innovative initiatives like Trees4Goals are an assured way to score an environmentalist hat-trick. Football is popular. It cuts through cultural barriers irrespective of the country it is played in. By increasing the trees planted per goal, with more such initiatives springing up, even more will be grown.
Like a seed, best ideas start small and change into something that can become far larger than anticipated. While Lesein continues planting 11 trees per goal, Kenyan government is aiming to ensure the planting of 1. 8 billion trees to reach 10% forest coverage. The science behind is clear: if 900 million hectares are devoted to half a trillion trees, the world can offset(抵消)half of all carbon released since 1960.
【1】What gave Lesein the idea of launching the project?
A．Release of too much CO2.
B．Dream of motivating others.
C．Passion for sports and nature.
D．Habit of exercising in the woods.
【2】What did Lesein do in 2020?
A．He created a blog for WWF.
B．He multiplied his commitment.
C．He planted one tree for each goal.
D．He extended his work to other teams.
【3】What do the underlined words “own goal” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A．Aim that is intended to achieve.
B．Action that harms one’s own interests.
C．Pursuit toward which effort is directed.
D．Goal that is scored for the opposing team.
【4】What can we learn from Lesein’s story?
A．United, we win.
B．No pains, no gains.
C．Love me, love my dog.
D．Small deeds, big difference.

26、Directions: road the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
A plan to restore green spaces
The UK government has revealed a plan to protect and restore England’s wild life. It focuses on at-risk species by making canals, rivers and streams cleaner and expanding green spaces.
The new Environmental Improvement Plan sets goals to create or restore more than 5,000 square kilometres of wildlife habitats across England and restore 400 miles of rivers. It will create or expand 25 national nature reserves. New woodland will also be planted alongside rivers. At the moment, access to green spaces is not equal across the UK. Around 4% of people live more than 10 minutes away from their nearest park. The Environmental Improvement Plan aims to make sure households in England are within a 15-minute walk to a green space.
As well as helping more people to act close to nature, the plan should increase England’s biodiversity. A species Survival Fund will be set up to help some of England’s most endangered animals, such as red squirrels (松鼠) and watch rats. The Government has set targets to boost these species by 2030. There are also targets to reduce food waste, glass, metal, paper and plastic by 2028, and to improve the quality of water in rivers.
New rules mean that the Government will have to consider the environmental effects of any policy it puts forward. These goals are part of a 25- year plan that was launched in 2018. The aim of the plan is to improve the environment “within a generation ” which is roughly 25 years.
Although lots of people have welcomed the plan, not everyone is impressed. Pail de Zylva, from the charity Friends of the Earth, said it wasn’t clear enough how the goals would be met and that many of them were like promises the Government had already made but not yet delivered.
