Ⅰ.阅读理解 A When she first started learning about the climate change from one of her elders，Fawn Sharp was invited on a helicopter flight over the Olympic Mountains to survey the Mount Anderson glacier.But the glacier was gone，melted by the warming climate.Sharp had a deep sense of loss when she discovered the glacier wasn't there anymore. Loss is a growing issue for people working and living on the front lines of climate change.And that gave Jennifer Wren Atkinson，a full­time lecturer at the University of Washington Bothell，US，an idea for a class. This term，she taught students on the Bothell campus about the emotional burdens of environmental studies.She used the experiences of Native American tribes (部落)，scientists and activists，and asked her 24 students to face the reality that there is no easy fix—that “this is such an intractable problem that they're going to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives.” Student Cody Dillon used to be a climate science skeptic (怀疑论者).Then he did his own reading and research，and changed his mind. Dillon wasn't going into environmental work—he was a computer­science major.Yet，the potential for a worldwide environmental catastrophe seemed so real to him five years ago that he quit his job and became a full­time volunteer for an environmental group that worked on restoration (恢复) projects. Six months into the work，he decided that Atkinson's class was just what he was looking for—a place where he could discuss his concerns about a changing climate. Atkinson said she hoped the class helped her students prepare themselves for the amount of environmental loss that will happen over their lifetimes. “We are already changing the planet—so many species are going to be lost，displaced or massively impacted，” she said.“The future isn't going to be what they imagined.” [语篇解读]　福恩·夏普通过一次搭乘直升机飞行的经历认识到冰川融化的严重性。同时珍妮弗·雷恩·阿特金森给学生开设了课程，教学生如何面对气候变化，她的课程让很多学生关注环境问题。 1．Why did the author mention the case of Fawn Sharp?

A．To explore how different people deal with climate change. B．To get students more concerned about the environmental issue. C．To find solutions to the environmental issue of Olympic Mountains.

It is the elephant's great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat.In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day，it kills small trees and underbushes，and pulls branches off big trees.This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas.In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant­eaters. Take the rain forests for example.In their natural state，the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor.By pulling down trees and eating plants，elephants make open spaces，allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor.In such situations，the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant­eaters to move around and for small plant­eaters to get their food as well. What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species.If the elephant disappears，scientists say，many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna，greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.

The most important benefit of living a green lifestyle is that you are helping the environment. 2 You will be helping preserve our natural resources，reduce pollution and do your part for wildlife conservation.It does feel very rewarding when you start making positive changes and feeling as though you are making a difference to such an important cause. 3 This can be done by using energy­efficient lights and appliances，solar panels (太阳能电池板) and simply by being aware of how much energy you are using.If you are able to grow your own produce then you won't have to spend as much on food shopping.When it comes to going green，there are lots of ways of saving money. 4 Once you have picked up some good tips and green living techniques you can pass them on to other people. 5 Your children will grow up understanding the importance of living a green lifestyle and will learn how to reduce their impact on the environment. A．But it's never that easy. B．There are many ways you can do your bit. C．Energy­efficient lights play an important role. D．Recycling is also another great way of saving money. E．Another benefit of going green is to reduce your energy bills. F．By going green you will reduce your impact on the environment. G．You can also educate people around you about the benefits of going green. [语篇解读]　本文讲述了过绿色生活带来的益处。 1．B　空前提到很多人意识到过绿色生活似乎没有那么难，空后提到过绿色生活的一些具体做法，故B项符合语境，起承上启下的作用。 2．F　根据本段内容可知，本段讲述过绿色生活的一个益处是有助于环境，故F项符合语境。 3．E　分析文章结构可知，空处是本段的主旨句。本段讲述过绿色生活可以节省日常开支，是其另外一个益处，故E项符合语境。 4．D　根据空前的“there are lots of ways of saving money”可知，空处应该与节省钱有关，D项承接上文。且D项中的saving money与空前的saving money 相照应。 5．G　根据空前的“you can pass them on to other people” 和空后的“Your children will grow up understanding the importance” 可知，空处讲述的应该是你把过绿色生活的知识传给其他人，G项符合语境。 Ⅲ.语法填空 Over the last 200 years, humans have become the dominant species on the earth. As a result, the natural world 1. (suffer) greatly. Today，almost half of the planet's land is used for agriculture and food 2. (produce), forcing our wide spaces into dramatic retreat(消退).

(succeed), they need a special sort of person－highly skilled，and fiercely passionate individuals, or groups，willing to devote 9. (they) to the restoration of the wild.
