Activities to Get You Outdoors While Travelling
Many of us would enjoy getting outside and escaping our daytoday work with some fresh air while travelling.But where do you start?Try out a few of these activities and you're sure to find a new outdoor hobby to help you enjoy nature on your next holiday.
Horseback Riding
Many people may shy away from this,excusing lack of experience with horses,but most operators have horses for riders of any experience including none if they meet the physical requirements.Horses can take you greater distances in a shorter time,covering areas that would be difficult or inaccessible otherwise.
FlyFishing
For an excuse to stand in a river enjoying the sounds,smells and scenery of some of the most beautiful places,try flyfishing.Fishing is a perfect activity to enjoy with children,grandparents or whoever.With enough practice,you may even catch a delicious big fish.
Cycling+Mountain Biking
On the path or the road,spending time on a bike allows you to slow down and leisurely take in the scenery around you.Mountain biking can give you the biggest excitement,while road cycling may offer a more peaceful and calm experience.Travel with your bike or rent one at your travelling places,and your possibilities for exploration have already increased.
Rock Climbing
For a more physical and challenging experience outdoors,try your hand at rock climbing.You can get a feel for climbing in a gym,but its real rewards lie in putting those skills to use outside.Many popular tourist attractions have great climbing events within a daytrip distance.

Over the past 45 years, farmer Fu Benfa has planted countless trees on barren (不毛的) mountains near Qilita village in Suizhou, Hubei province.The task would have been a challenge for an ablebodied person, let alone a person with paralysis (瘫痪).
Fu, 65, was paralyzed in an accident in January 1978.News about green development through measures such as expanding forests in the province caught his attention.He got the idea that he might be able to contribute.Fu's parents strongly disagreed because of his poor physical condition.But he insisted.His father finally acquiesced and made him a special shovel (铁锹) and straw mat (草席).
In the winter of 1978, Fu came to a barren mountain and began the task that would occupy him for decades.He sat on the straw mat and tried to dig a hole to plant a tree in, but he failed to finish it after working all day.He didn't give up, however, and tried various kinds of movements until he became more efficient.Every day he spent more than 12 hours on the mountain.After a month, he had successfully planted 18 trees, 13 of which survived.
Three months later, he had planted more than 300 trees, most of which survived.Over the next 30 years, Fu brought green color to five mountains around his village.With the help of local governments, a forest protection volunteer service team was set up to carefully protect and guard the green mountains.
After years of study and exploration, Fu has gained rich experience and taken advantage of technology.He has taught more than 200 nearby farmers, free of charge, to increase their incomes by planting trees.Recent health problems have slowed Fu down.He has been recovering at home since February.
“Now it is difficult for me to continue planting trees in the mountains, but I will always guard this forest,” he said.“I will never change my dream.”

Bringing species like beavers (河狸) back to England is no longer a priority, the government said on Friday to criticism from wildlife groups.
A recent report shows that one in six UK species are at risk of extinction.In September more than 60 conservation organisations reported a significant decline in species due to expansions in farming and the effects of climate change.In recent years, animals and plants have been reintroduced by charities as part of efforts to restore the country's reduced biodiversity.
Despite the government allowing this, the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee concluded in July that there was an absence of longterm plans on how to manage this.In response, the government has now said that the “reintroduction of species is not a priority”.
The government said it was focused on increasing biodiversity through habitat restoration.The government's environment department has come under scrutiny (详细审查) for not doing more to prevent sewage dumping and other forms of pollution in England's waterways.
Sir Robert Goodwill, chair of the Committee, said he was disappointed with the government response.Bringing back extinct species is a controversial issue—although farmers and landowners appear broadly supportive, there are risks of reintroducing new species, and without clear guidance, problems could arise.
A recent study showed that river barriers similar to those built by beavers can protect communities at risk of flooding.But there have also been cases documented in Europe where beavers have built their dams in places that have damaged crops and changed rivers.
Joan Edwards, director of Policy & Public Affairs at The Wildlife Trusts said, “Reintroducing wildlife must be part of the UK government's arsenal (武器) for tackling nature loss and climate change—it is astonishing there is no strategy for doing so.”
“The return of wild beavers can help to recreate lost wetlands, with a knockon effect that benefits other wildlife including insects, invertebrates and birds.Beavers also slow the flow of water, which can reduce flood risks to towns and villages,” she said.
[语篇解读] 新闻报道。文章主要报道了英国政府发出一份声明,认为将河狸等物种带回英国已不再是当务之急,而是希望通过恢复栖息地来增加生物多样性,该声明引起了很多争议,社会各界对此做出了不同的回应。
8.What does paragraph 2 want to convey?
A.The situation of species in the UK is severe.
B.Reintroduction of species in the UK is not a priority.
C.Expansions in farming have a great effect on climate change.
D.The UK government's response to reduced biodiversity is disappointing.
解析 A 推理判断题。根据第二段可知,本段主要介绍了英国物种多样性的现状,一部分物种面临灭绝的危险,物种数量显著减少,很多机构在努力恢复物种多样性。由此可知,本段想表示英国的物种状况很严峻。故选A。
9.How did the UK government plan to increase biodiversity?
A.By developing strategy.
B.By offering guidance.
C.By expanding farming.
D.By restoring habitat.
解析 D 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The government said it was focused on increasing biodiversity through habitat restoration.”可知,英国政府的计划是恢复栖息地。故选D。
10.What did Joan Edwards think of reintroduction of wildlife?
A.It was messy. B.It was limited.
C.It was beneficial. D.It was costly.
解析 C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中Joan Edwards所说的话“Reintroducing wildlife must be part of the UK government's arsenal (武器) for tackling nature loss and climate change”和最后一段中她所说的话“The return of wild beavers can help to recreate lost wetlands, with a knockon effect that benefits other wildlife including insects, invertebrates and birds.Beavers also slow the flow of water, which can reduce flood risks to towns and villages”可知,Joan Edwards认为重新引入野生动物可以帮助政府应对自然丧失和气候变化,并说明野生河狸的回归对湿地、其他野生动物和应对洪水的帮助。由此可知,她认为这样做是有好处的。故选C。
11.What is the text mainly about?
A.The advantages of reintroducing wildlife.
B.The responses to a government statement.
C.The effects of climate change on farming.
D.The approaches to increasing biodiversity.
解析 B 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Bringing species like beavers (河狸) back to England is no longer a priority, the government said on Friday to criticism from wildlife groups.”可知,文章围绕最近英国政府发出的一份有关重新引入野生动物的声明展开,这份声明引起了很多争议,社会各界对此做出了不同的回应。因此,B项“对一份政府声明的回应”概括了文章的主旨大意。故选B。
D
If we continue at our current production rate, the World Economic Forum predicts that by 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean.Today, there is a garbage island three times the size of France floating in the Pacific Ocean.However, in her presentation last week, Alexandra Cousteau, a worldrenowned environmental advocate, offered a small sign of hope.
Cousteau's talk, titled “Telling the Story of Our Water Planet: Innovation in Filmmaking and Social Media to Effect Environmental Change”,focused on using innovation and technology to create environmental solutions with a focus on restoration rather than preservation.She described our current approach to conservation as a“zerosum game” between environmentalists and economists.An endangered species habitat can either be protected or developed; a polluted stream can either be cleaned or left to deteriorate (恶化).Both teams are on the defensive, yet playing a losing game.
In the 1970s, the environmentalist movement focused on conservation efforts.Cousteau said, “It was an effective tool then when plastics were young.But we have lost 50% of our oceanic ecosystems since 1950.Conservation is no longer enough.” Cousteau urges us to create biological richness for the creatures still living in the sea.
Throughout her speech, Cousteau discussed the challenges facing our oceans and the solutions lying at our fingertips.She explained the power of seaweed farming to sequester (隔离) carbon.She talked of 3D printing coral reefs rather than painstakingly growing.Most of all, she focused on the youths and our amazing power for driving practical change.
Cousteau said, “However, there are challenges in the mission.Ocean conservation has inequalities in its approach and implementation.Though the science exists, lawmakers need to employ these solutions efficiently and equitably, which is far easier said than done.” Despite these obstacles, Cousteau's messages gave hope.
Modern environmentalism is no longer the work of a few, but the work of many dedicated individuals with a common vision for change.Together, we can regain hope and rebuild our oceans.
[语篇解读] 说明文。文章介绍了世界经济论坛预测,到2050年,海洋中的塑料将比鱼类更多。作者呼吁我们要一起努力,重建我们的海洋。
12.Why is the World Economic Forum's prediction mentioned?
A.To share environmental solutions.
B.To tell the content of Cousteau's talk.
C.To show the serious result of oceanic garbage.
D.To show our current dangerous living condition.
解析 C 推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章提及世界经济论坛的预测是为了引出本篇文章的主题,即海洋中的塑料问题很严重。故选C。
13.What does Cousteau want to express through the “zerosum game”?
A.The failure of protecting the environment.
B.People's awareness of protecting the Earth.
C.The success of the environmentalist movement.
D.People's creative solution to protecting the Earth.
解析 A 推理判断题。由文章第二段可知,在这场环保主义者和经济学家之间的“零和博弈”中,双方都处于防御状态,但都输掉了比赛。因此,提及“zerosum game”是为了说明这是一场没有胜利者的博弈。故选A。
14.What does Cousteau think of the environmentalist movement in the 1970s?
A.It should be continued.
B.It should be prevented now.
C.It was useful for biological richness.
D.It was good but then had little effect.
解析 D 推理判断题。第三段中Cousteau提到,当塑料刚刚诞生的时候,这(20世纪70年代的环保运动)是一个有效的工具。但自1950年以来,我们已经失去了50%的海洋生态系统。保护已经不足够了。由此可知,Cousteau 认为20世纪70年代的环保运动在当时有效,但现在保护已经不足够了。故选D。
15.What can we know about Cousteau from the text?
A.Her goal is difficult to achieve.
B.Her focus on the youths' efforts is wrong.
C.She will rebuild the ocean by herself in the future.
D.She believes in the present ways to protect the ocean.
解析 A 细节理解题。文章倒数第二段提到:尽管科学是存在的,但立法者需要有效而公平地使用这些解决方案,这说起来容易做起来难。尽管存在这些障碍,Cousteau的信息还是带来了希望。由此可知,Cousteau的想法说起来容易做起来难。故选A。

When the monthly electricity bill came home, parents always couldn't believe their eyes, as the amount was much more than they needed. 16 Here are some tips for parents to educate their children on how to save energy.
Switch off the lights.Assign one day in a week for a “turn off” practice, for a few hours.Tell the kids the significance of using less electricity and how it impacts the environment. 17
Use energyefficient transportation.When parents and their children are out on vacation, have a cycling outing.When the whole family rides bicycles together, it not only serves as a great bonding exercise, but it also teaches the children about ecofriendly transportation options. 18
Play a game. 19 Engage them in a game instead.Ask the little ones to walk around the house with pen and paper, and make a note of all the equipment that consumes energy.Let them suggest what measures can be taken within the home to reduce consumption of electricity and go green.Parents can stick small notes near these appliances to give them interesting information on conservation.
20 Create a theatrelike experience at home on a Sunday and gather everyone in the family, especially the kids, to watch an informative film about environmental issues or climate change.If parents have slightly older children, they can discuss the film and ask them what they think.

PROTECT OUR HOME
Good morning, everyone!
It's my great honor to stand here.What is the most important in our life? As a matter of fact, there is nothing more important than our health, but without the great environment, how can we be healthy? Therefore, it's high time that everyone of us should participate in the environmental protection.
First, never should we drop litter around.Second, we can call on more people to protect the environment.Last, we can contact environmental protection departments in time if we find factories are polluting our environment.
In a word, it's the effort of everybody that makes our world better.
Thanks for your attention.
第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Alex was a friendly boy, but he had a bad temper and often found it challenging to control his anger.Whenever something didn't go his way or if he felt upset, a fiery anger would build up inside him like an angry monster.
One sunny afternoon, Alex went to the playground with his friends, Sarah and Ben.They were excited to play on the swings, slide, and monkey bars.As they started playing, Alex's turn on the swing was interrupted by another child who cut in line.Alex felt his anger rising inside him, and without thinking, he shouted at the child very angrily, demanding his turn back.Sarah and Ben looked at Alex with surprise, scare and depression.They didn't like it that their friend lost his temper like a monster and yelled.They stopped playing together.
Alex's anger not only ruined his own mood but also spoiled (破坏) the fun for his friends and the other children at the playground.Feeling ashamed and realizing the consequences of his actions, Alex slumped (跌坐) down on a nearby bench.He saw his friends playing happily without him, and he felt upset at losing control.
Alex's memories flooded back when his friends and family were often taken aback by his outbursts.When his best friend, Emily, wanted to play a game he didn't like, he would shout and throw a tantrum (发脾气), refusing to play with her.His little sister accidentally knocked over his tower of blocks, he would explode in a fit of rage, yelling and stomping his feet.
He had lost a lot of fiends and hurt his family because of his anger.Now he might lose these friends too.He realized that his mean words constantly hurt the people he cared about.He didn't want to be like a monster anymore, so he decided to find a better way to handle his anger.

[文本解读] 本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了一个名叫亚历克斯的男孩如何通过面对自己的愤怒情绪,学会控制自己的情绪,并改善自己的人际关系的故事。
[思路点拨]
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上,亚历克斯把发生的事情告诉了奶奶”以及第二段首句内容“亚历克斯下定决心要改变。”可知,第一段可描写奶奶开导亚历克斯,并给他提供了一些建议。
②由第二段首句内容“亚历克斯下定决心要改变”可知,第二段可描写亚历克斯开始改变,并改善了自己的人际关系。
2.续写线索:亚历克斯是个友好的男孩,但是总是管不好自己的脾气——一天,和朋友玩秋千的时候,亚历克斯的坏脾气吓坏了自己的朋友,不再和他玩了——后来在家里,他又对妹妹发脾气,把妹妹吓坏了——亚历克斯很无助,于是向奶奶求助——奶奶给了他一些建议,亚历克斯决定要改变自己——亚历克斯终于学会了控制坏脾气,从而改善了人际关系。

That evening, Alex told Grandma about what had happened.Grandma listened attentively, her wise eyes filled with understanding.She gently placed her hand on Alex's shoulder and said, “My dear Alex, anger is a normal emotion, but it's important to learn to manage anger and express feelings without hurting others.” Grandma taught Alex a simple technique — take slow, deep breaths whenever he felt anger creeping up inside him.She also encouraged him to take a moment to reflect on his feelings and put himself in others' shoes before reacting impulsively.
Alex made up his mind to change.The next day, Alex encountered many situations that would typically trigger his anger at school.But he chose a different approach.His newfound ability to manage his anger made a noticeable difference.His friends noticed the positive change in him and began inviting him to join activities.With each passing day, Alex's relationships with his family and friends grew stronger.Looking back, Alex felt it was wise to learn to manage his anger with the help of his Grandma and create harmonious interpersonal relationship.
