With its typical red crest and face, as well as a long black mouth and snow-white feathers, the crested ibis is known as “the oriental gem” in China. They were once widespread in East Asia and Siberia until the 20th century when hunting, ecological damage and increased human activities drove the birds to near extinction. In 1981, the entire species around the world was down to the seven crested ibises which were found only in Yangxian County, northwest China's Shaanxi Province, and deep in the Qinling Mountains, making Qinling, a natural boundary between China's north and south, the last shelter of the wild birds. Since 1981, the local government of Yangxian County has put forward four bans for the protection of the species, prohibiting activities including hunting in the birds’ living areas, cutting down trees where they nest, using chemicals in their food-finding and firing guns in their breeding areas. The Chinese government arranged special funds to protect the habitat of crested ibises, sealing off mountains to plant trees in the birds' living areas.China started the artificial breeding of crested ibises in 1991 and had bred about 400 birds in Shaanxi as of in 2006. Years of constant effort have brought promising results. It is estimated that there are more than 5,000 crested ibises in the world now, and a majority of them live in Shaanxi. The bird's habitat in China has risen from less than 5 square km in 1981 to the current 15,000 square km. “It is lucky that the crested ibis, an ancient bird, is still flying around,” said Zan Linsen, head of the Shaanxi Academy of Forestry. “The conservation story of crested ibises not only shows us the power of ancient life, but also the necessity and urgency of ecological environment protection.” 24. Why are the Qinling Mountains so important to crested ibises? A. They are where crested ibises were first found. B. They used to be the last habitat of crested ibises. C. They are the only breeding area of crested ibises. D. They protect crested ibises from natural enemies. 25. What can we conclude from Paragraph 4? A. Crested ibises are unlikely to be bred artificially. B. It's legal to own hunting guns in Yangxian County. C. Hunting has been the biggest threat to crested ibises. D. The government plays a key role in saving crested ibises. 26. How does Zan Linsen feel about the conservation of crested ibises? A. Merciful and ambitious. B. Relieved and happy. C. Shocked and curious. D. Sorry and regretful. 27. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Rare animals in China: crested ibises. B. Artificial breeding of crested ibises in China. C. Endangered crested ibises making a comeback. D. Crested ibises found again in the Qinling Mountains. C At an animal sanctuary (保护区) in the Congo, several dozen Congolese schoolchildren are getting a course in bonobos (倭黑猩猩). These gentle animals, who look like chimpanzees (黑猩猩), are “our closest cousins”, educator Blaise Mbwaki tells the students. “They have a human character, and they are Congolese. They are smaller and gentler than chimps.” Only about 20,000 wild bonobos are left, and they are found only in the central rainforests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. So Mbwaki and other workers at Lola ya Bonobo sanctuary are working hard to involve Congolese students in protecting the bonobos that remain. Bonobos share nearly 99% of their DNA with humans. And studies of the animals at Lola are helping scientists understand how humans developed characters like empathy (同情). But humans haven't shown much empathy for bonobos. We've hunted them for food, sold their babies as pets, and destroyed much of their natural environment. The sanctuary's goal is to prepare the bonobos for life in the wild. In the meantime, they serve as ambassadors (大使) to daily visits from schoolchildren. “The children learn that this animal is a treasure of nature. The children also learn to take action if they see a bonobo being kept as a pet, which is illegal in Congo,” says Claudine André, who founded Lola ya Bonobo in 1994. But the long-term goal is to see more bonobos living in the wild. So Lola has set up a second sanctuary called Ekolo ya Bonobo hundreds of miles away. “It's a place where bonobos used to live,” says Dr. Raphaël Belais at Lola. “But unfortunately during the war hunting was widespread so there are no more bonobos in this part of the forest.” Their future, though, will be determined by Congolese people like the students who came to Lola today. So I asked a 10-year-old named Gaska Basili, what he learned about bonobos during the visit. “They are like our brothers,” he replied in French. “And what would you do if you saw a bonobo being kept illegally?” I asked. “I would call my teacher,” he said. 28. What can we learn about bonobos? A. They are quite dangerous. B. They are unique to Congo. C. They are much bigger than chimps. D. They are quite different from humans in many ways. 29. What does Claudine André say about keeping a bonobo as a pet? A. It is against the law in Congo. B. It is increasingly common in Congo. C. It is warmly welcomed by her children. D. It is unhelpful for reducing bonobo hunting. 30. What is the purpose of building Ekolo ya Bonobo? A. To attract more tourists. B. To educate more students. C. To raise various kinds of animals. D. To return bonobos back to nature. 31. What can we infer from Gaska Basili's words? A. He was uninterested in bonobos. B. He found it hard to save bonobos. C. His visiting the bonobos was a helpful lesson. D. His teacher was a top bonobo professional. D The European Union (EU) has a target of making all new buildings zero-energy, but in Norway, carbon neutrality (碳中和) isn't enough. An alliance (联盟) in Oslo made up of architects (建筑师), engineers, environmentalists, and designers is creating energy-positive buildings, which during their lifetime produce more renewable energy than they use, in a country with some of the coldest and darkest winters on Earth. “If you can make it in Norway, you can make it anywhere,” says Peter Bernhard, an advisor with Asplan Viak, one of the Powerhouse alliance members. Bernhard says Powerhouse began in 2010 with a question. Is it possible to not only get rid of (消除) the carbon footprint of buildings, but also use them as a solution to climate crisis? It was a challenging goal. According to the European Commission, buildings account for 40 percent of energy usage and 36 percent of CO2 emissions in the EU. But after undertaking several energy-positive projects — building a new Montessori school, building a few homes, and breaking ground on two new office buildings — Powerhouse has found the answer to the 2010 question to be a definite “yes.” In 2019, the alliance completed its biggest project — Powerhouse Brattørkaia, in the central Norwegian city of Trondheim. Brattørkaia is an eight-story office building that will produce 485,000 kWh a year. For reference, the average Norwegian home uses about 20,000 kWh of power a year. Brattørkaia will, in effect, become a mini-power plant that can supply electricity to Norway's publicly owned grid (输电网). Its energy will also be given to a plant that produced its building materials. The building, says architect Jette Hopp, is unique. The new architectural concept of energy-positive construction — to construct or design buildings that have a net positive effect on the planet, instead of just working toward zero energy status — has excited other countries' curiosity (particularly Germany's), but it still hasn't had its successful moment. Hopp says that so far Powerhouse has received no requests from other countries. 32. What does Bernhard mean by saying the underlined words? A. It is quite easy for Norway to achieve carbon neutrality. B. Powerhouse should put up more buildings in other countries. C. It is challenging to create energy-positive buildings in Norway. D. The EU's target of making all new buildings zero-energy is unrealistic. 33. What allowed Powerhouse to find the answer to the 2010 question? A. Realizing the world's serious problem of climate change. B. Putting the idea of energy-positive buildings into practice. C. Understanding the figures from the European Commission. D. Using new technology to measure buildings' carbon footprints. 34. In what way is Powerhouse Brattørkaia unique? A. It works like a small power plant. B. It holds about 24 Norwegian homes. C. It produces green building materials. D. It is the biggest building in Trondheim. 35. How does Germany look at Norway's new architectural idea? A. Thoughtfully. B. Unfavorably. C. Interestedly. D. Unconcernedly 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 其中有两项为多余选项。 How to make your school green Green schools are not only environmentally friendly but also save money in the form of reduced water and energy use. Many schools are taking part in the Green Schools Alliance (GSA) to make their schools greener and to reduce their carbon footprints by 30 percent over five years. 36 The GSA program involves 5 million students at more than 8,000 schools and organizations from 48 U.S. states and 91 countries. Anyone can join the Green Schools Alliance, but you don't need to be a part of a formal program to carry out environment-friendly practices in your school. 37 And students and parents can also work with their schools to determine the school's energy use and how to reduce it over time. Parents and students can take the following steps: 1. Encourage parents and kids to use public transportation or walk or bike to school. 2. Encourage the lunchroom to avoid using plastics. 3. Encourage the school to sign up for the Green Schools Alliance. In addition, students can work with their schools to reduce energy use. First, students can examine their school's light and energy use. 38 The Green Schools Alliance provides students with a step-by-step plan to create a task force and reduce carbon emissions over a suggested two-year timetable. 39 For example, schools can use daylight instead of overhead lighting. Creating a greener school requires educating the community about the importance of reducing carbon emissions and living more environmentally sustainable lives. 40 Students may be more encouraged to make their school greener when they know what similar schools are doing. A. The goal is to achieve zero carbon footprint. B. Many students are unwilling to reduce energy use. C. Their helpful plan provides actions schools can take. D. Some schools offer classes on living environmentally friendly lives. E. Then students can check the school's energy use on a monthly basis. F. Find a way to communicate with your school about what you are doing. G. There are steps that parents and students can take to reduce energy use and waste. 第三部分　语言运用(共两节, 满分30分) 第一节　(共15小题; 每小题1分, 满分15分) 阅读下面短文, 从各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I'm a geologist.
