Ⅰ.阅读理解
Malvern is a place close to my heart. When I was growing up, both my parents worked full-time, and I spent every school holiday with my grandmother, who lived in a house in the Malvern Hills, looking out over the Worcestershire land to Bredon Hill in the distance with the Three Counties Showground in the foreground. This is the scene for the RHS Malvern Spring Festival, the opening event of the horticultural(园艺的)calendar.
Garden designer and television presenter Arit Anderson is one of the familiar faces who will be presenting talks over the four days of this year’s show. Anderson didn’t move into garden design until her mid-40s. Raised in a large family by a busy single mum in Hertfordshire, she began her working life as a pharmacy technician(药剂师). From there she moved into fashion seller, working her way up to the head office of a major high street brand. At the same time she trained as a healer. All these different strands equipped her well for a career change to horticulture.
“I always said I didn’t want to do fashion at 50, but it came about a little bit earlier. The company was laying off workers and I’d just got my first garden and fallen in love with it. I thought. Let’s do something I love.”
She retrained in garden design at Cape Manor College, and in 2013 won the Fresh Talent competition at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Three years later she won a gold medal at RHS Hampton Court for a garden showcasing the need for sustainability in the face of climate change.
Gardening at one with the environment has continued to be an important focus for Anderson and she is currently setting up the Sustainability Landscape Foundation with fellow designer Marian Boswall. Their aim is to cut through the greenwashing and provide a portal(入口)for professionals and the public to seek out information about how to garden sustainably.

You may see many people on their yearly camping trips, going into nature to seek a connection with something greater than themselves. You might be wondering— 1 ?Here are some simple but wonderful ways to help you connect with nature.
Slow down and be present
Probably the most important thing to remember is to learn how to slow down and be truly present with the natural world. 2 and forget everything that isn’t here in the present moment. You can focus 100% of your energy on the birds, plants, trees and animals in your surroundings.
3 .
Another big secret to feeling in touch with nature is to learn how to consciously(有意识地)use your five senses. If you ever find yourself struggling to reach a peaceful experience in nature, it’s probably because your five senses are not fully used. So when you step outside, always start by giving yourself a few minutes to consciously use some of your senses. 4 .
Watch your local animals
5 . Animals have a natural appeal because they’re living, breathing, active forms of intelligence. They’re cute, funny, emotional and entertaining, so this is a great next step to explore.
A. Learn some plants
B. Get into your senses
C. Take a few deep breaths
D. How do you actually do it
E. How are these things all connected
F. Connecting with animals is one of the great joys
G. For example, try to listen more deeply than before

[语篇导读] 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲的是一项新的研究发现, 到2050年, 非洲类人猿的活动范围可能会减少85%到94%。
1.解析 考查介词。句意:对它们栖息地的威胁包括气候变化、土地利用和人为干扰。根据句意可知, 空格处意为“对于”, 用介词to。故填to。
答案 to
2.解析 考查时态。句意:如果压力持续下去, 它们的活动范围将继续缩小, 它们生存的机会也可能会减少。if引导的是条件状语从句, 从句时态是一般现在时, 主句时态用一般将来时。故填will continue。

答案 drier
4.解析 考查定语从句。句意:依赖于这些栖息地的动物不得不改变它们的活动范围以避免灭绝。空格处引导的是定语从句, 从句中缺少主语, 先行词是Animals, 指物, 因此空格处用关系代词which或that。故填which/that。
答案 which/that

答案 was published

答案 protected
10.解析 考查非谓语动词。句意:我们仍然需要改写类人猿的未来, 现在我们只需要让这成为现实。need to do意为“需要做某事”, 因此空格处是不定式。故填to make。
答案 to make
Ⅳ.概要写作
阅读下面短文, 根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Scientists in London say they have found the best diet for both humans and the planet. If the world followed the so-called “planetary health” diet, the scientists told Reuters that each year more than 11 million early deaths could be prevented. Scientists say that the way we produce and eat food is very bad for the planet. For the health of the planet, they claim the same diet would reduce greenhouse gases and save more land, water and animals.
Tim Lang, a professor at Britain’s University of London, co-led the research. He told Reuters, “The food we eat and how we produce it determines the health of people and the planet, and we are currently getting this seriously wrong.” Lang added that the world’s population is expected to grow to 10 billion people by 2050. If we want to feed everyone, he explained, we all need to change what we eat and the way we eat by “improving food production and reducing food waste.”
Well, what do you eat on the planetary health diet?The scientists who created this diet say it is largely plant-based but still has small amounts of dairy, fish and meat. The diet calls for cutting red meat and sugar by 50 percent and doubling the amount of nuts, fruits, vegetables and legumes.
Food situations around the world are not equal. In certain areas, this would mean great changes. People in North America, for example, eat 6.5 times the recommended amount of red meat. On the other hand, people in South Asia eat only half the amount suggested by the new planetary health diet. Meeting the targets for vegetables would need big changes in other areas. In sub-Saharan Africa, people on average eat 7.5 times the suggested amount of vegetables like potatoes and cassava.
The scientists admit their goal will be difficult to achieve. But for them doing nothing is also not an option. Willet said, “If we can’t quite make it, it’s better to try and get as close as we can.”
