Wildlife faces threats from habitat destruction,pollution and other human actions.Although protecting wildlife can seem difficult at times,even small actions in your own neighborhood can help protect many different animals.As the saying goes,“Think globally and act locally.”You can protect wildlife for future generations.
Create wildlifefriendly areas in your backyard.When choosing your lawn and landscaping,choose native plants that can provide food or living places for native wildlife.This will also help cut down on pollution.Add bird or bat houses to your yard or garden to attract these species and offer places to them to live in.
Avoid disrupting(扰乱) the natural ecosystem in your area.Nonnative plants or animals can destroy habitats,particularly if there is no natural predator(捕食性动物) to keep the species in a certain amount.They can kill or disturb native plants that provide food and living places for wildlife.
Practice a greener lifestyle.By saving water and fossil fuels,you will be helping to protect the wildlife around you.Take public transportation when you can,turn off electric devices when you're not using them,take shorter showers and keep your heat at or below 20 ℃ during the winter.Become knowledgeable about what can cause global warming,which disrupts migration patterns and habitats.
Buy products that are wildlifefriendly.Avoid products that are made from threatened or endangered animals.Keep in mind that some endangered animals are killed by traps,or hunters who are after other wildlife within the same habitat.
Talk to or write to policymakers about protecting wildlife.Write letters to a local newspaper.Discuss ways to help animals with friends and family members.
Limit the family size.Population growth is one of the major factors in habitat destruction.By living in established city limits and limiting the family size to around two children per family,the earth's population will stabilize(稳定) and native habitats can be protected.

Food waste produced from the Clipper Cafe in Shaldon in the United Kingdom used to be sent away to landfill, but they have found a new way to deal with it. This machine breaks down the waste in less than 24 hours—reducing the volume by up to 90% —producing a material that can be put back on the farm. The machine works by using heat and enzymes to reduce the moisture content. It's hoped that it will help the environment.
“Going to landfill is not sustainable. And it's doing a huge amount of damage to the environment.So, we are addressing this food waste onsite where it's produced,”said William Bedell, the machine provider. The farm and cafe are part of the same business. Much of the produce for the cafe comes from the farm. And the cafe is now sending back the leftovers. The process is quick, usually taking around 15 hours per load.
Peter French,the cafe and farm owner told the reporter,“It's become noticeable over the years how much material goes to waste—food waste in the kitchen preparation and leftovers from table are full of nutrient that we really need on the farm to keep the soil healthy and productive for next year's crops.”
“It just feels right to be returning that organic matter to the land that originally produced the food.The compost that comes out is a beautiful light,fluffy material.We will be spreading this back on the land through the spring for this year's crops.And it's hoped that the produce will end up back on plates in the cafe soon,”said Peter French.
5.What does the underlined word“it”in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.The new way. B.The machine.
C.The food waste. D.Heat and enzymes.
6.Where does the food waste from the cafe go?
A.The landfill. B.The farm.
C.The cafe shop. D.The machine factory.
7.Which best describes the new way to deal with the food waste?
A.Recycling. B.Productive.
C.Highcost. D.Timedemanding.
8.Which best describes the new way to deal with the food waste?
A.The cafe and farm owner cares more about making money.
B.Food waste should be returned to the land directly.
C.Kitchen preparation is the main source of food waste.
D.The technology of dealing with food waste has a bright future.

1.F [上文“It might seem wiser to some people to protect natural habitats and fragile (脆弱的) environments by banning visitors completely to these areas.(对一些人来说,完全禁止游客到这些地区来保护自然栖息地和脆弱的环境似乎是更明智的做法。)”提到了禁止游客到来,即禁止旅游业,F选项中,however是关键词,与上文构成转折关系,所以F项“然而,许多地区依靠旅游业的收入来支持当地经济”符合语境。故选F。]
2.B [下文“Ecotourism exists in almost every style and taste.From gray water recycling systems to tents on tree house, there are numerous vacationing options.(生态旅游几乎存在于每一种风格和品味中。从灰水回收系统到树屋帐篷,有许多度假选择。)”提到了生态旅游中的一些精彩项目,B选项中wonderful 是关键词,与下文是顺承关系,所以B项“这可能是一次奇妙的冒险”能引起下文,符合语境。故选B。]
