Here are a few must-see waterfalls in the country. Otuihau Whangarei Falls Just a 20-minute drive from the city center, this waterfall is a dramatic 26-meter curtain waterfall. It flows into a clear pool and is particularly wonderful after heavy rain. A well-maintained walking track leads to many viewpoints, including a bridge that allows visitors to view the waterfall from different angles. It’s also a popular spot for picnics and swimming. Waireinga Bridal Veil Falls Located in the Waireinga Scenic Reserve, this waterfall is a breathtaking sight. The Pakoka River falls 55 meters into a native forest. The waterfall is surrounded by tawa trees, and a wheelchair-friendly track leads visitors to various viewing points. The waterfall is considered scared, with local traditions saying it is guarded by fairies (精灵). Waiau Falls This waterfall located in a distant part of Peninsula, is one of New Zealand’s hidden jewels. The waterfall drops 6 meters into a natural pool, perfect for a refreshing swim. The short track to the waterfall is an easy walk, and nearby, you can explore a beautiful group of ancient kauri trees, some over 600 years old. Taranaki Falls It is an impressive 20-meter waterfall located in Tongariro National Park. The waterfall runs over an ancient lava flow from Mount Ruapehu, creating a striking contrast of water and volcanic rock. The walking track around the waterfall offers views of mountain plants, native birds, and amazing volcanic landscapes. The path is in excellent condition, though you may experience some mud in winter. 1. Which waterfall has the highest drop? A. Otuihau Whangarei Falls. B. Waireinga Bridal Veil Falls. C. Waiau Falls. D. Taranaki Falls. 2. What is a unique feature of Waiau Falls? A. It is surrounded by ancient trees. B. It is a popular picnic spot close to the city. C. It drops into a pool suitable for swimming. D. It is particularly impressive after heavy rain. 3. What makes Taranaki Falls different from the other waterfalls? A. Its volcanic setting. B. Its cultural importance. C. Its short walking distance. D. Its wheelchair-friendly track. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了新西兰一些最令人惊叹和最容易到达的瀑布。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Waireinga Bridal Veil Falls下“The Pakoka River falls 55 meters into a native forest.(帕卡河从55米高的地方流入一片原始森林。)”并对照其他瀑布落差26米、6米和20米，可知，Waireinga Bridal Veil Falls落差最大。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Waiau Falls下“The waterfall drops 6 meters into a natural pool, perfect for a refreshing swim. (瀑布落差6米，落入天然水池，非常适合清爽的游泳。)”可知，Waiau Falls独特之处是瀑布落进一个适合游泳的水池里。故选C项。 3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Taranaki Falls下“The walking track around the waterfall offers views of mountain plants, native birds, and amazing volcanic landscapes.(瀑布周围的步道可以欣赏到山间植物、本地鸟类和令人惊叹的火山景观。)”可知，Taranaki Falls与其他瀑布不同之处是瀑布有火山环境。故选A项。 B In Antarctica, my team really wanted to capture the moment when emperor penguin (企鹅) chicks jump into the ocean for their first swim. We had been in Antarctica for two months before it was time for these chicks to fledge. Fledging is when birds grow feathers that help them fly or, in the case of penguins, swim. Mom and Dad have headed out to sea for good, and the five-month-old chicks are realizing their parents aren’t coming back: They must hunt for themselves. So these penguin “teenagers” form little groups and start waddling (摇摆) toward the sea together. The young penguins look messy as they shed the soft feathers that keep them warm and grow out their adult swimming feathers. Each has a unique boy-band-style haircut. The penguins must walk about 15 miles from the home atop an enormous ice shelf to reach the water’s edge. We follow the birds from afar on snowmobiles. They crowd together at the end of the path and stare down like, “what’s that?” They’ve never seen the ocean before! To my amazement, I see several hundred chicks gather at the edge of a 50-foot ice cliff! They stand together for four hours, staring at the rough water below. Finally one chick steps in front of the others, waddles to the edge of the cliff and dives off the side. I watch in fear, afraid the bird won’t resurface in the water after the long fall. But then it makes it, back up! It swims farther out to sea, never looking back. At first the other penguins are like “Oh my gosh, what did Steve just do?” But then they realize it’s safe to jump. They begin to pour off the cliff, several little soft balls at a time. Some jump off stylishly, and others slip and fall backward. Some even flap their wings as if they’ll fly. This dive is their entrance into adulthood. They’ll swim out to sea and won’t return to the home for several years. How lucky we are to see this huge moment in their lives. 4. What does fledging mean for penguins? A. They’ll fly like other birds. B. They’ll look for their parents. C. They’ll look cooler than ever. D. They’ll live an independent life. 5. How does the author feel about the young penguins at the cliff? A. Frightened. B. Concerned. C. Exited. D. Confused. 6. Who does “Steve” in the last paragraph refer to? A. The father penguin. B. The author. C. The first penguin to dive. D. The author’s teammate. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Dive into Adulthood B. Legends of Penguins C. Scenery in Antarctica D. Adventures in Antarctica 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者团队在南极记录帝企鹅幼崽首次跳海游泳，见证它们步入成年这一重要时刻。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Fledging is when birds grow feathers that help them fly or, in the case of penguins, swim. Mom and Dad have headed out to sea for good, and the five-month-old chicks are realizing their parents aren’t coming back: They must hunt for themselves.(长羽是鸟类长出有助于它们飞翔的羽毛，对于企鹅来说，就是有助于它们游泳的羽毛。爸爸妈妈已经永远地出海了，五个月大的企鹅宝宝意识到它们的父母不会回来了：它们必须自己捕猎)”可知，对于企鹅来说，长羽意味着它们将独立生活。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“I watch in fear, afraid the bird won’t resurface in the water after the long fall. But then it makes it, back up!(我惊恐地看着，担心这只鸟在长时间坠落后不会再次浮出水面。但后来它成功了，又浮了上来!)”可知，作者对于在悬崖边上的小企鹅是担心的。故选B。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Finally one chick steps in front of the others, waddles to the edge of the cliff and dives off the side.(最后，一只雏鸟走到其他雏鸟前面，摇摇摆摆地走到悬崖边，从侧面跳入水中)”及第三段中“At first the other penguins are like “Oh my gosh, what did Steve just do?” But then they realize it’s safe to jump.(一开始，其他企鹅会说：“哦，我的天哪，Steve刚刚做了什么？”但随后它们意识到跳下去是安全的)”可知，“Steve”指的是第一只跳水的企鹅。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“This dive is their entrance into adulthood. They’ll swim out to sea and won’t return to the home for several years. How lucky we are to see this huge moment in their lives.(这次跳水是它们进入成年的标志。它们将游向大海，几年内不会回家。我们很幸运能看到它们生命中的这个重要时刻)”可知，文章主要讲述的是作者在南极洲观察帝企鹅幼鸟第一次跳入海洋游泳的情景，展现了企鹅成长过程中的一个重要时刻。所以A项“Dive into Adulthood(跃入成年)”作为标题最合适。故选A。 C To help out important insects like bees and butterflies, bus stops across UK are getting living roofs. Small gardens on bus shelter roofs are being planted with flowers chosen to help support the struggling insects. Humans depend on bees and other “pollinators (授粉者)” like butterflies to help grow plants, such as flowers and trees. But with humans taking over more and more land for cities, roads and farms, more natural areas have disappeared. The Wildlife Trusts, a group which works to protect wildlife in the UK, says that the insect numbers there have dropped by 50% since 1970. Bee bus stops are a small step toward supporting these important insects. The advertising company Clear Channel is working with The Wildlife Trusts and city governments to set up bee bus stops in cities across the UK. Bee bus stops are like ordinary bus shelters, but small gardens have been added to the roofs to attract bees and butterflies. The company plans to set up 1,000 bee bus stops in the UK. Clear Channel already has bee bus stop programs in several countries in Europe. In the Netherlands, the city of Utrecht has 300 bee bus stops. Research shows that these bus stops— along with many other steps taken to support pollinators — may be helping. After decades of dropping numbers, bee populations in the Netherlands seem to have become more stable over the last few years. The little gardens can also help to slightly lower city temperatures. Even though the bus shelter gardens are small, together they add up to a much larger area. Thirzah McSherry, who works for The Wildlife Trusts, says, “We’re living through a nature and climate crisis and we need to use every tool we’ve got to deal with it.” 8. Why are bee bus stop gardens being built in the UK? A. To beautify the city. B. To improve city farming. C. To protect the environment. D. To provide shelters for pollinating insects. 9. What leads to the insect numbers dropping sharply in England? A. Losses of forests. B. Climate changes. C. Human activities. D. Natural disasters. 10. How does the author show the positive effect of the bee bus stop programs? A. By analyzing the data. B. By making a comparison. C. By giving examples. D. By doing an experiment. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. UK is building more bee bus stops. B. The city environment is getting worse. C. City should build more gardens for the insects. D. The bee bus stop is the best way to save the city. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国各地公交车站正在安装的生态屋顶（蜜蜂公交车站）项目，旨在帮助像蜜蜂和蝴蝶这样的重要昆虫，同时也提到了该项目对降低城市温度的作用。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Small gardens on bus shelter roofs are being planted with flowers chosen to help support the struggling insects.(公交候车亭的屋顶上，正种植着精心挑选的花卉小花园，以支持这些挣扎求生的昆虫。)”以及第二段“Humans depend on bees and other “pollinators(授粉者)” like butterflies to help grow plants, such as flowers and trees.(人类依赖蜜蜂和蝴蝶等其他“授粉者”来帮助植物生长，比如花卉和树木。)”可知，英国建立蜜蜂公交车站花园是为了给授粉昆虫提供庇护所。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But with humans taking over more and more land for cities, roads and farms, more natural areas have disappeared. The Wildlife Trusts, a group which works to protect wildlife in the UK, says that the insect numbers there have dropped by 50% since 1970. Bee bus stops are a small step toward supporting these important insects.(但随着人类为城市、道路和农场占据越来越多的土地，更多的自然区域消失了。英国致力于保护野生动物的组织“The Wildlife Trusts”表示，自1970年以来，英国的昆虫数量已减少了50%。蜜蜂公交车站是支持这些重要昆虫迈出的小小一步。)”可知，是人类活动导致了英国昆虫数量的急剧下降。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“In the Netherlands, the city of Utrecht has 300 bee bus stops. Research shows that these bus stops— along with many other steps taken to support pollinators — may be helping. After decades of dropping numbers, bee populations in the Netherlands seem to have become more stable over the last few years.(在荷兰，乌得勒支市有300个蜜蜂公交车站。研究表明，这些公交车站，以及为支持授粉者而采取的许多其他措施，可能正在发挥作用。在数量持续下降了几十年后，荷兰的蜜蜂种群数量在过去几年似乎已趋于稳定。)”可知，作者通过举例荷兰乌得勒支市蜜蜂公交车站的情况来展示蜜蜂公交车站项目的积极效果。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Small gardens on bus shelter roofs are being planted with flowers chosen to help support the struggling insects.(公交候车亭的屋顶上，正种植着精心挑选的花卉小花园，以支持这些挣扎求生的昆虫。)”、第二段“The Wildlife Trusts, a group which works to protect wildlife in the UK, says that the insect numbers there have dropped by 50% since 1970. To help tackle this, the Trusts have launched a program called ‘Bee Bus Stops(英国致力于保护野生动物的组织“野生生物信托”表示，自1970年以来，英国的昆虫数量已减少了50%。为了应对这一问题，“野生生物信托”发起了一项名为“蜜蜂公交车站”的计划。)”以及下文文章介绍了蜜蜂公交车站项目的目的、实施情况、作用以及在其他国家的类似项目。由此可知，文章主要讲了英国正在建设更多的蜜蜂公交车站。故选A。 D The endangered pandas in the Qinling Mountains might face a new threat: the loss of their food — bamboo, which makes up 99% of their meals. Adult pandas spend most of the day eating bamboo and have to take in at least 40 pounds a day to stay healthy. However, a new study published in Nature Climate Change warned that they may soon find their food gone because most of the bamboo in the Qinling Mountains might disappear by the end of the century as a result of the rising temperature worldwide. A team made up of researchers from Michigan State University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences has studied the effects of climate change on the bamboo in the Qinling Mountains. They have found that bamboo is very sensitive to climate change. “80% to 100% of the bamboo would be gone if the average temperature increases 3.5 degrees worldwide by the end of the century,” said Liu Jianguo, one of the report's authors. He added, “This is how much the temperature would rise by 2100 even if all countries will keep their promises in The Paris Agreement. But you know what is happening around the world.” In recent years, China has been trying its best to protect the endangered pandas by setting up more and bigger nature reserves. “But it is far from being enough and the endangered pandas need cooperation from the rest of the world, because their future is not just in the hands of the Chinese,”said Shirley Martin from the WWF but not a member of the team. There are 345 wild pandas in the Qinling Mountains. That is about 18.5% of the population of China's wild pandas. In addition, about 375 pandas are living in research centers and zoos in China. 12. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. The Qinling Mountains can provide enough bamboo for the pandas. B. Pandas in the Qinling Mountains are only threatened by the loss of food. C. Lots of the bamboo in the Qinling Mountains will probably disappear. D. Pandas have already eaten 99% of the bamboo in the Qinling Mountains. 13. What does Liu Jianguo mean? A. China needs more help from the WWF. B. It is difficult to control the temperature rise within 3.5 degrees. C. Bamboo is sensitive to changes in temperature. D. China is making great efforts to protect the pandas. 14. How many wild pandas are there in China? A. About 345. B. About 408. C. About 2,272. D. About 1,864. 15. Which can be the best title for the text? A. The Disappearance of Bamboo B. Necessity to Change Pandas' Food C. A New Threat Faced by the Pandas D. Efforts Made to Save Pandas 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了秦岭大熊猫的食物来源——竹子受到威胁。由于气候变暖，到21世纪末，秦岭的大部分竹子也许会遭遇灭顶之灾。研究者们呼吁全世界采取措施对其进行保护。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The endangered pandas in the Qinling Mountains might face a new threat: the loss of their food—bamboo, which makes up 99% of their meals. (秦岭濒临灭绝的大熊猫可能面临新的威胁：它们的食物——竹子的减少，而竹子是它们99%的食物。)”可知，秦岭的大部分竹子也许会遭遇灭顶之灾，可能会消失。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“He added, “This is how much the temperature would rise by 2100 even if all countries will keep their promises in The Paris Agreement. But you know what is happening around the world.” (他补充说：“即使各个国家都遵守他们在《巴黎协定》中的承诺，到2100年，全球平均气温仍然会升高3.5度。”)”可知，刘建国认为控制温度上升3.5度以内很难，故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“There are 345 wild pandas in the Qinling Mountains. That is about 18.5% of the population of China's wild pandas. (秦岭有345只野生大熊猫。这大约是中国野生大熊猫总数的18.5%。)”可知，秦岭上有345只野生大熊猫，占中国野生大熊猫总数的18.5%。因此，中国野生大熊猫的总数大约是1,864只，故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。首段“The endangered pandas in the Qinling Mountains might face a new threat: the loss of their food—bamboo, which makes up 99% of their meals. (在秦岭的濒危大熊猫可能会面临新的威胁：他们的粮食竹子的损失，占他们食物的99%。)”点明文章主题，重点讲述了秦岭大熊猫的食物——竹子受到威胁，这对于大熊猫的生存来说是一个新的威胁。所以“大熊猫面临的新威胁”为本文最佳标题。故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Basic Survival Skills Learning survival skills is an ongoing process(过程)that will last for your entire life.

Always bring along your first aid box and a space blanket. E. Fire and smoke can be used for signaling very long distances. F. Panic is your number one enemy when you are in any emergency situation. G. These 4 basic skills may put you on your way toward becoming a survivor. 【答案】16. G 17. E 18. A 19. B 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了四项在危险环境真好的基本求生技能。 【16题详解】 根据下文中四个黑体字内容，可知这些四个求生的基本的技能。所以横线句应该属于过渡句，把第一段总体内容和下面的分段内容串联起来，所以G项“These 4 basic skills may put you on your way toward becoming a survivor.(这4个基本技能可能会让你成为幸存者。)”符合语境，故选G。 【17题详解】 本段的主题是fire。根据横线前句“Fire provides warmth, light, and comfort, and keeps away the creatures. But even those are not all.(火提供了温暖、光明和舒适，并使生物远离。但这还不是全部。)可知，前文火可以给我们通过温暖舒适，还让我们远离野兽。但是这些还不是全部的好处，叙述火的作用，E项“Fire and smoke can be used for signaling very long distances.( 火和烟可以用来长距离发送信号。)”讲述火和烟还可以用作信号，也是在介绍火的作用，与前句相一致。故选E。 【18题详解】 根据横线前一句“Clothing is the first line of shelter protection.(衣服是防护所的第一道防线。)”可知，衣服是避难防护的第一要素。横线上谈论的也应该是使用衣服进行避难防护的内容，所以A项“Have the right clothes for the right environment.(合适的环境下穿合适的衣服。)”讲述穿合适的衣服，与上下文一致。故选A。 【19题详解】 根据横线前一句“Signaling allows you to get in touch with people who can rescue you without having to be close by.(发信号可以让你在不靠近的情况下与救援人员取得联系。)”可知，信号可以让你和那些能够救助你的人取得联系。横线后一句“These include using fire and smoke, flashlights, bright colored clothing and other markers, mirrors, and whistles.(这些方法包括使用火和烟、手电筒、颜色鲜艳的衣服和其他标记、镜子和哨子。)”解释了发送信号的方法，说明本句是一个过渡句，把前后句串联起来，所以B项“There are a variety of ways to signal for help.(有很多发信号求助的方法。)”与上下文一致。故选B。 【20题详解】 本段的主题是First Aid，结合下文“Most injuries you may face in the wilderness are relatively minor cuts, burns and scrapes. Larger injuries need formal treatment, which means you will need outside help.(你在野外可能遇到的大多数伤害都是相对较小的割伤、烧伤和擦伤。较大的伤需要正式的治疗，这意味着你需要外界的帮助。)”可推断，要进行急救首先要带着急救设备，所以D项“Always bring along your first aid box and a space blanket.(记得带上你的急救箱和太空毯)”与本段主题一致。故选D。 第三部分　语言运用(共三节,满分45分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分) Yang He, a 66-year-old man from Yichang, Hubei, has observed the changes in the population of finless porpoises (江豚) with his camera for six years.

Here are a few must-see waterfalls in the country. Otuihau Whangarei Falls Just a 20-minute drive from the city center, this waterfall is a dramatic 26-meter curtain waterfall. It flows into a clear pool and is particularly wonderful after heavy rain. A well-maintained walking track leads to many viewpoints, including a bridge that allows visitors to view the waterfall from different angles. It’s also a popular spot for picnics and swimming. Waireinga Bridal Veil Falls Located in the Waireinga Scenic Reserve, this waterfall is a breathtaking sight. The Pakoka River falls 55 meters into a native forest. The waterfall is surrounded by tawa trees, and a wheelchair-friendly track leads visitors to various viewing points. The waterfall is considered scared, with local traditions saying it is guarded by fairies (精灵). Waiau Falls This waterfall, located in a distant part of Peninsula, is one of New Zealand’s hidden jewels. The waterfall drops 6 meters into a natural pool, perfect for a refreshing swim. The short track to the waterfall is an easy walk, and nearby, you can explore a beautiful group of ancient kauri trees, some over 600 years old. Taranaki Falls It is an impressive 20-meter waterfall located in Tongariro National Park. The waterfall runs over an ancient lava flow from Mount Ruapehu, creating a striking contrast of water and volcanic rock. The walking track around the waterfall offers views of mountain plants, native birds, and amazing volcanic landscapes. The path is in excellent condition, though you may experience some mud in winter. 1. Which waterfall has the highest drop? A. Otuihau Whangarei Falls. B. Waireinga Bridal Veil Falls. C Waiau Falls. D. Taranaki Falls. 2. What is a unique feature of Waiau Falls? A. It is surrounded by ancient trees. B. It is a popular picnic spot close to the city. C. It drops into a pool suitable for swimming. D. It is particularly impressive after heavy rain. 3. What makes Taranaki Falls different from the other waterfalls? A. Its volcanic setting. B. Its cultural importance. C. Its short walking distance. D. Its wheelchair-friendly track. B In Antarctica, my team really wanted to capture the moment when emperor penguin (企鹅) chicks jump into the ocean for their first swim. We had been in Antarctica for two months before it was time for these chicks to fledge. Fledging is when birds grow feathers that help them fly or, in the case of penguins, swim. Mom and Dad have headed out to sea for good, and the five-month-old chicks are realizing their parents aren’t coming back: They must hunt for themselves. So these penguin “teenagers” form little groups and start waddling (摇摆) toward the sea together. The young penguins look messy as they shed the soft feathers that keep them warm and grow out their adult swimming feathers. Each has a unique boy-band-style haircut. The penguins must walk about 15 miles from the home atop an enormous ice shelf to reach the water’s edge. We follow the birds from afar on snowmobiles. They crowd together at the end of the path and stare down like, “what’s that?” They’ve never seen the ocean before! To my amazement, I see several hundred chicks gather at the edge of a 50-foot ice cliff! They stand together for four hours, staring at the rough water below. Finally one chick steps in front of the others, waddles to the edge of the cliff and dives off the side. I watch in fear, afraid the bird won’t resurface in the water after the long fall. But then it makes it, back up! It swims farther out to sea, never looking back. At first the other penguins are like “Oh my gosh, what did Steve just do?” But then they realize it’s safe to jump. They begin to pour off the cliff, several little soft balls at a time. Some jump off stylishly, and others slip and fall backward. Some even flap their wings as if they’ll fly. This dive is their entrance into adulthood. They’ll swim out to sea and won’t return to the home for several years. How lucky we are to see this huge moment in their lives. 4. What does fledging mean for penguins? A. They’ll fly like other birds. B. They’ll look for their parents. C. They’ll look cooler than ever. D. They’ll live an independent life. 5 How does the author feel about the young penguins at the cliff? A. Frightened. B. Concerned. C. Exited. D. Confused. 6. Who does “Steve” in the last paragraph refer to? A. The father penguin. B. The author. C. The first penguin to dive. D. The author’s teammate. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Dive into Adulthood B. Legends of Penguins C. Scenery in Antarctica D. Adventures in Antarctica C To help out important insects like bees and butterflies, bus stops across UK are getting living roofs. Small gardens on bus shelter roofs are being planted with flowers chosen to help support the struggling insects. Humans depend on bees and other “pollinators (授粉者)” like butterflies to help grow plants, such as flowers and trees. But with humans taking over more and more land for cities, roads and farms, more natural areas have disappeared. The Wildlife Trusts, a group which works to protect wildlife in the UK, says that the insect numbers there have dropped by 50% since 1970. Bee bus stops are a small step toward supporting these important insects. The advertising company Clear Channel is working with The Wildlife Trusts and city governments to set up bee bus stops in cities across the UK. Bee bus stops are like ordinary bus shelters, but small gardens have been added to the roofs to attract bees and butterflies. The company plans to set up 1,000 bee bus stops in the UK. Clear Channel already has bee bus stop programs in several countries in Europe. In the Netherlands, the city of Utrecht has 300 bee bus stops. Research shows that these bus stops— along with many other steps taken to support pollinators — may be helping. After decades of dropping numbers, bee populations in the Netherlands seem to have become more stable over the last few years. The little gardens can also help to slightly lower city temperatures. Even though the bus shelter gardens are small, together they add up to a much larger area. Thirzah McSherry, who works for The Wildlife Trusts, says, “We’re living through a nature and climate crisis and we need to use every tool we’ve got to deal with it.” 8. Why are bee bus stop gardens being built in the UK? A. To beautify the city. B. To improve city farming. C. To protect the environment. D. To provide shelters for pollinating insects. 9. What leads to the insect numbers dropping sharply in England? A. Losses of forests. B. Climate changes. C. Human activities. D. Natural disasters. 10. How does the author show the positive effect of the bee bus stop programs? A. By analyzing the data. B. By making a comparison. C. By giving examples. D. By doing an experiment. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. UK is building more bee bus stops. B. The city environment is getting worse. C. City should build more gardens for the insects. D The bee bus stop is the best way to save the city. D The endangered pandas in the Qinling Mountains might face a new threat: the loss of their food — bamboo, which makes up 99% of their meals. Adult pandas spend most of the day eating bamboo and have to take in at least 40 pounds a day to stay healthy. However, a new study published in Nature Climate Change warned that they may soon find their food gone because most of the bamboo in the Qinling Mountains might disappear by the end of the century as a result of the rising temperature worldwide. A team made up of researchers from Michigan State University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences has studied the effects of climate change on the bamboo in the Qinling Mountains. They have found that bamboo is very sensitive to climate change. “80% to 100% of the bamboo would be gone if the average temperature increases 3.5 degrees worldwide by the end of the century,” said Liu Jianguo, one of the report's authors. He added, “This is how much the temperature would rise by 2100 even if all countries will keep their promises in The Paris Agreement.
