Unit 5－Unit 6 (时间：100分钟　分值：120分) Ⅰ. 阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) A A Chinese college student cycled over 1，000 kilometres in 19 days to encourage environmental protection. The college student from central China's Hubei province cycled over 1，000 kilometres to Shanghai in 19 days to highlight the importance of environmental protection, receiving high praise from related departments. Huang Xi's journey started on Aug. 3 from Xiaochang county, Hubei, spreading the message of environmental protection to over 5，000 people along his route. Huang said it was not very easy to start a conversation about environmental protection with strangers. “First you have to narrow the distance between you and your audience，” he noted. For instance, he would greet people at the roadside and introduce himself and his plan. He told Shanghai Observer that the environmental issue was not a good conversation opener because not everyone was interested. Straw burning (秸秆焚烧) was a major focus for Huang since his journey began in summer. “Many people don't burn straw because there's a fine, but not many of them know that burning straw actually pollutes the environment，” he said. Explaining the ban on straw burning, the benefits of waste sorting as well as the importance of creatures in water and plant protection were the major part of his job on the road. 16 local authorities of environmental protection along Huang's route praised his efforts. “Environmental protection calls for not only governmental efforts but also social efforts，” said Chen Bin, an official from Wuhan's environmental department. Huang shared his experience on social media, which gave him a level of support on his journey. However, his cycle also drew the bad side of comments. Some said that his journey was only a publicity stunt (作秀), and some even said that in fact, it was a trip that Huang had to make since he ran out of his money at Internet cafs. Huang replied and tried to prove that what they said was not true. Huan
