(2025·河北承德高二上期末)For many, denim (牛仔布) is a type of cloth; but for Londonbased artist Ian Berry, it's a creative medium.For the last two decades, Berry has used the navy blue cloth to create various portraits (肖像), and even photorealistic descriptions of California.And his latest creation continues to reveal the unexpected and innovative ways denim can be used.Titled Secret Garden and recently on display at the Garden Museum in London, this work reimagines a peaceful setting with a fish pond, flowers, and plants—all made from recycled denim jeans.
The Secret Garden show was first exhibited at the Children's Museum of the Arts in New York in 2017 and has since been displayed in various sitespecific locations and galleries worldwide.Originally designing it for a young audience, Berry aimed to inspire children to reflect on our interaction with nature.
“The idea came from thinking many kids don't have their own gardens and thinking of community gardens located between buildings and trying to inspire them to seek them out,” Berry says.“It also gave the opportunity to talk about sustainability as well as helping young minds think about where things come from.” The artist even showed the kids a cotton plant to explain where jeans come from.“It was amazing to see so many confused at the idea,” he recalls.“It enabled educators to talk about how in the show plants were turned into pants, then back to plants again.”
While the most recent Secret Garden show isn't specifically designed for children, it still arouses a childlike sense of wonder.Visitors can walk through the denim garden path and find plants hanging above them.Various plants and flowers are depicted in shades of indigo (靛蓝色).There's even a peaceful pond at the heart of the garden, featuring denim koi fish, and a central water feature.Every area of the garden showcases such an impressive level of details that it's easy to forget that the entire show is handmade from denim.

(2025·浙江杭州高二上期末)When photojournalist Jasper Doest arrived in the Transylvanian Alps to document the coexistence of humans and wildlife, he found a story on the side of the road—a group of bears begging for food.This close encounter led to incredible photographs.But it also emphasises the hurdles that conservationists (自然环境保护主义者) in Romania and elsewhere face in their efforts to restore and protect wild places.
Tourists attracted by the region's brown bears often give in to the temptation to feed them.This can have disastrous effects.Usually shy around people, it takes just a few meals to get bears hooked on human food—and, after that, they don't stay wild long.Instead, they can become dependent on humans for food, fueling more bearhuman runins and putting bears in danger when they get too close.This region has seen a rise in bearhuman conflicts.
In 2023, there were 95 bear incidents, and a hiker was fatally mauled.This prompted officials to raise the annual bear kill quota.Doest also documented an attacked mother bear whose leg had been lost, forced to beg for food along the road.Bears fed by humans become “problem bears”, fueling local opposition to rewilding (再野生化) projects, as more forests mean more bears.
While driving on a mountain pass, Doest and his assistant realized the bears were waiting for human handouts.They had completely changed their behavior.Doest saw other examples of how tourists' handouts had changed the ecosystem.As he watched people feeding bears snacks like doughnuts, he realized the story of conversation in the region was as much about people as wildlife.
“It isn't just about rewilding—it's about the opportunities and struggles rewilding brings us,” he says.“It's about how to accept nature in our lives, and how we could benefit if we do it the right way.” So don't feed the bears.You could save an animal's life, and a community's commitment to wildlife conservation.

A.The growing number of tourists.
B.The expansion of human settlements.
C.The bears' dependence on human food.
D.The decrease in natural food sources for bears.
解析:选C。细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容可知,游客给熊喂食导致熊依赖人类食物,原本怕人的熊在吃了几次人类食物后就会依赖上,不再保持野性,进而导致更多熊与人的冲突。由此可知,主要原因是熊对人类食物的依赖。故选 C。

A.They believe that rewilding will attract more tourists.
B.They fear that rewilding will harm the local economy.
