(2025·江苏扬大附中月考)A Chinese college student cycles over 1,000 kilometers in 19 days to encourage environmental protection.
The college student from central China’s Hubei Province cycled over 1,000 kilometers to Shanghai in 19 days to highlight the importance of environmental protection, receiving high praise from related departments.
Huang Xi’s journey started on 3 August from Xiaochang County, Hubei, spreading the message of environmental protection to over 5,000 people along his route.Huang said it was not very easy to start a conversation about environmental protection with strangers.“First you have to narrow the distance between you and your audience,” he noted.For instance, he would greet people at the roadside and introduce himself and his plan.He told Shanghai Observer that the environmental issue was not a good conversation opener because not everyone was interested.
Straw burning (秸秆焚烧) was a major focus for Huang since his journey began in summer.“Many people don’t burn straw because there’s a fine, but not many of them know that burning straw actually pollutes the environment,” he said.
Explaining the ban on straw burning, the benefits of sorting of waste as well as the importance of creatures in water and plants protection were the major part of his job on the road.
16 local authorities of environmental protection along Huang’s route praised his efforts.“Environmental protection calls for not only governmental efforts but also social efforts,” said Chen Bin, an official from Wuhan’s environmental department.
Huang shared his experience on social media, which gave him a level of support on his journey.
However, his cycle also drew the bad side of comments.Some said that his journey was only a publicity stunt (作秀), and some even said that in fact, it was a trip that Huang had to make since he ran out of his money at Internet cafes.Huang replied and tried to prove that what they said was not true.
Huang, who studies environmental engineering in college, set off again on 27 September to take part in a training camp held by a center of environmental protection in Hubei Province.“I will share my experience of the journey, and hope people will pay more attention to the environment,” he said.
1.What is the purpose of Huang’s cycling?( )
A.To have a good sightseeing.
B.To receive high praise from related departments.
C.To let people know the importance of protecting environment.
D.To solve the problem of straw burning.
2.What can we learn from the text?( )
A.Huang’s cycle didn’t draw any attention.
B.What Huang studies in college is related to environment.
C.Environmental protection needs only social efforts.
D.It’s a good idea to start a conversation by environmental issues.
3.When did Huang finish the cycling?( )
A.On 3 July. B.On 27 September. C.On 22 August. D.On 3 October.
4.What is the attitude of the related departments to the cycling?( )
A.They think highly of it. B.They disagree with it.

(2025·河南许昌高级中学月考)Ponds are a rich source of biodiversity, providing natural environments for many rare and endangered species, including plants, insects, birds and bats.Ponds show far greater variation than rivers and streams.Yet, for a century or so, ponds have been ignored by scientists.
Why have we overlooked such a significant part of the natural world? A key reason appears to be the cognitive bias (认知偏见) where we assume that if something is small, it can’t be all that important.Rather than study ponds, biologists in the past typically headed for the largest lake or river they could find.Most of us also devalue ponds because we assume they are human-made habitats and don’t realize that these waters have a deeply ancient origin.Ponds have clearly existed on Earth as long as there has been land and water and the geological record shows they have been a long-lasting presence.
Ignoring ponds within science has had a big impact on our ability to protect their wildlife.It has created a world view in which policy-makers can simply ignore the big networks of ponds that make up so much of the global water environment.In Europe, for example, the Water Framework Directive mostly excludes any bodies of water smaller than 50 hectares.
Fortunately, views are changing.Last year, the Ramsar Convention, an international agreement, introduced a resolution (决议) on small wetlands, including ponds, giving more recognition to them.And the European Union-funded PONDERFUL project is gathering data on Europe’s ponds.
However, if we want to make use of the biodiversity power that ponds offer, there remains much to do.In a world where fresh water faces big challenges, creating and protecting ponds provides a ray of hope: a piece of natural ecological engineering we can easily achieve to help support biodiversity.
5.What can be learned about ponds from paragraph 1?( )
A.They are difficult to research. B.They fail to get due attention.
C.They are too small to support wildlife. D.They have greater importance than rivers.
6.What does the cognitive bias assume?( )
A.Ponds are short-lived. B.Rivers are fully-developed.
C.Small things are unimportant. D.Natural habitats are unnoticed.
7.Why is the Water Framework Directive mentioned in paragraph 3?( )
A.To solve a problem. B.To present a fact.
C.To prove a point. D.To make a comparison.
8.What does the author imply in the last paragraph?( )
A.Exploring ponds has a long way to go. B.Ecological diversity is easy to realize.
C.Fresh water supply can meet our needs. D.Building ponds can promote economy.

(2025·湖北问津教育联合体月考)Imagine you’re walking across rolling hills that stretch for miles, with warm sunshine and the chirping of birds all around.This peaceful scene is an increasingly rare one in the modern world.Our natural soundscapes are falling silent as bird populations decline.
But does the silencing of our soundscapes matter to us? The short answer is yes.There is growing evidence about the health benefits of spending time in nature, including reducing risks of heart disease, diabetes and anxiety.Yet while the general benefits of being outside in nature may seem instinctive, the contributions of natural sounds to this are less understood.
Our study explores the link between birdsong and people, specifically on English vineyards (葡萄园).We surveyed the experience of 186 wine-tour participants across three vineyards with varying soundscapes.We also enhanced some vineyard soundscapes with hidden speakers, which played the songs of five additional bird species.This was designed to see how participants’ engagement with nature would be affected by increasing the diversity of birds and songs.
The results were fascinating.Visitors who experienced louder and more complex sounds — whether on vineyards with naturally richer soundscapes or on those we had enhanced — reported that they had enjoyed the sounds more.They also felt more connected to nature and more satisfied with their tour.With richer soundscapes, they felt more mindful and positive during the tours, reporting that they felt freer from work, routine and responsibility.
Our study is a clear demonstration of the direct effect that birdsong has on our wellbeing.It shows that bird conservation could enhance our experience of spending time in nature and give rise to positive emotions.The world we experience today is unlike what our grandparents experienced.We are increasingly disconnected from nature, and nature’s benefits on our wellbeing are lessening as a result.What is most concerning is that these changes are accepted as the new norm.
We hope our findings lead to more people thinking like Harrison, who concluded: “It goes to show how important nature is for humanity on so many levels and hopefully a study like this supports more investment and help conserving as well as improving our natural soundscapes.”
9.What phenomenon does the author describe in paragraph 1?( )
A.Bird songs are increasingly popular. B.People enjoy interacting with nature.
C.Bird songs are hard to hear nowadays. D.Modernization leads to the extinction of bird species.
10.What does the study focus on?( )
A.The impact of birdsong on human wellbeing.
B.The use of technology in vineyard management.
C.The role of vineyards in enhancing visitor experiences.
D.The relationship between wine production and tourism.
11.What does the author hope the study will achieve?( )
A.Greater awareness of the critical state of bird species.
B.Standardization of soundscape measurement techniques.
C.An increase in the number of bird species in urban areas.
D.A stronger commitment to preserving natural soundscapes.
12.What can be a suitable title for the text?( )
A.How Do We Live Happily Without Birdsong?
B.Why Does Birdsong Matter More than You Think?
C.Could Artificial Birdsong Serve the Same Purpose?
D.What Can We Do to Promote Tourism in Vineyards?
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
In 1907, Leo Baekeland invented Bakelite — the first ever plastic.Since then, plastics have been used widely in various industries and people’s lives.Plastic bags were introduced to supermarkets in 1977.Now, 160,000 plastic bags are used globally every second!
13.( ) However, they are extremely inconvenient for the Earth:
·Plastic bags live on much, much longer — perhaps as much as 1,000 years in a landfill (垃圾填埋地).
·When plastic breaks down in the ocean, it doesn’t break down completely.14.( ) The toxic (有毒的) chemicals from the plastic waste then enter the food chain.
·Plastic bags cause the death of many sea animals when they are mistaken for food.In 2008, a whale was found beached in California.It died due to the more than 22 kilos of plastic found in its stomach.
15.( ) However, sometimes you get to the store and realize you left your reusable shopping bag at home.
The key to improving our environmental behavior is to make a plan.And you should build your environmental muscle memory:Put your recyclable bags somewhere that will ensure you always remember to bring them with you.
If you drive to the store, keep your bags in your car.16.( ) If you walk, store your reusable bags near your front door.
Through this act of green, you have created a concrete (具体的) plan to ensure you will always have your reusable grocery bags on hand when you need them.17.( ) So build a plan and keep to it!
A.If you bike, keep them in your basket.
B.But it only counts if you stick to the plan.
C.It remains harmful even when it breaks down.
D.Plastic bags are billed for their “convenience”.
E.It just gets smaller and ends up getting eaten by fish.
F.So we know that we should never use plastic grocery bags.
G.You’ll feel proud when you see what a difference you’ve made!

Dear fellow students,
I’m writing to appeal to you to protect rare birds.
It’s well-known that rare birds make our world more beautiful and lively, playing a significant role in maintaining the balance of our ecosystem.
However, human activities like hunting directly cause populations of rare birds to fall.Building farms or factories and the destruction of the forests have led to the loss of their habitats.
To protect rare birds, we should raise our awareness about the importance of rare birds and protect their habitats.
