B
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了
印度通过综合保护策略与文化共存促进野生老虎数量
增长的成功案例,并为其他国家提供了借鉴经验。
l.B【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段“The advantage
of combining these two methods is that reserves act as a
source of tigers for surrounding areas.And if coexistence
no longer works,the reserves provide a fallback option-
ensuring that tigers are not at risk of extinction,”可知,
结合两种保护老虎的方法的好处是能确保老虎的生
存。故选B。
2.A【解析】推理判断题。根据第五段“In fact,for
some Indian farmers,losing cattle to a tiger does not es-
sentially spell disaster.Farmers who keep their livestock
in barns and enclosures are rarely affected by tigers.
However,when cattle are released to graze in tiger-
inhabited areas,and if a tiger eats cattle,the farmer re-
ceives financial compensation from the government-
turning a loss into a gain.”可推知,当农民的牛被老虎
吃掉时,他们可能会得到政府的补偿,所以他们不会
担心。故选A。
3.A【解析】细节理解题。根据第六段的内容可知,
印度的保护模式可能为其他国家提供解决类似野生
动物与人类冲突问题的思路,尤其是欧洲一些国家面
临的狼攻击牲畜的问题。故选A。

"India's experience proves that large predators can sur-
vive in a modem world-if we are willing to think crea-
tively and find a balance between protection and coexis-
tence,”可知,Ninad认为印度的经验证明了大型捕食
性动物可以在现代世界生存,前提是我们愿意创造性
地思考并在保护和共存之间找到平衡,这说明Ninad
认为印度保护老虎的方法是创新的。故选D。

部航运活动的首次详细调查。故选B。
2.C【解析】词句猜测题。根据第一段“New research

increase in shipping in the North East Atlantic..”和第二
"Researchers at the University of Portsmouth have dis-
英语
covered that rates of shipping in the North East Atlantic
area rose by34 percent in a five-year period.”可知,
项新的研究发现大西洋东北部航运活动明显增加,
James Robbins指出这一变化会给海洋环境带来更大
的压力。由此可推知,“This change”指的是上文中提
到的研究发现,即“航运活动的大幅度增加”。故
选C。
3.C【解析】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Shipping
is the most widespread human activity in our oceans,
carrying a set of threats-from unnoticeable effects like
underwater noise pollution to serious results when ships
hit whales..”可知,Dr.Sarah Marley通过列举水下噪
音污染和船只撞击鲸鱼的例子告诉读者航运活动会
威胁海洋环境。故选C。

大西洋航运活动的最新研究,接着通过引用相关研究
人员的论述,指出航运活动的急速增加会严重威胁海
洋环境,呼吁人们密切关注航运活动对海洋生物保护
的影响,因此D项最能概括文章主旨。故选D。

A couple of weeks ago,at a music festival where I
was working,I'd already reached my daily goal of
5,000 steps before 10 am.I did over 12,000 steps over
the course of that day.That's common at a music
festival.I have walked at least double that amount in a
single day and gone four days with next to no sleep,and
I know people who have done even more,being on the
ground from a week before the event to two-to-three
days after.If you're a festival organizer,my one piece
of advice would be:always wear comfortable shoes.
I've had artist-facing roles at many music festivals
and that is quite a hot potato.For the most part,I've
found musicians to be polite and kind as long as they
have their food and drink.Not all artists and their
teams are that friendly though.Some years ago,at a
festival in a small village three hours from the nearest
city,the manager of a popular singer-songwriter threw a
tantrum.He'd been asked for his transport requirements
well in advance but hadn't sent them in until he was
already on-site at the festival.The vehicles could only
arrive six hours later,but he needed them at once and
started shouting.Thankfully,he was quickly shut down
by the organizers.
A music festival includes a lot of moving parts,
each of which is dependent on each other for things to
run smoothly.So when something goes wrong,it can
have implications(可能的影响)on everything else.
But when your team is experienced,everything will go
smoothly.
I've been in the music festival industry for almost
20 years and being in the background of a festival is a
different world.While it can be extremely busy,the
satisfaction of successfully pulling off such a big event
rivals(比得上)nearly anything.

Sherry Gao is pouring coffee made from single-
origin beans,hoping that her Mandarin Coffee Stand in
the city of Pasadena,California will introduce you to
your new favorite coffee and turns your preconceptions
about Chinese coffee beans upside down.
Much of the Western world imports its coffee from
Africa and South America.But Gao hopes that throwing
light on Yunnan-sourced coffee could expose customers
to the coffee-producing region and help break down
prejudice against the beans,which for decades,until
only a few years ago,were primarily used for instant
products.
"We wanted to highlight Chinese coffee because a
lot of people have never had Chinese coffee before,"
Gao said."Some have the mindset that it's bad or it's
cheap,but that's not the case anymore.It's been
changing much over the last decade."
Recent experimentation with processing,such as
the addition of fruit or sugarcane molasses(甘蔗糖蜜)
during the production,is leading Yunnan's coffee to
more flavorful results."Every time a new product
comes in,it tastes better than the last one,"Gao said.
Farmers in China have grown tea for more than
3,000 years,but coffee has been grown there for only
about a century in small quantities,with an uptick in
the 1980s with government involvement.And the turn
of the century and the 2010s saw a sharp growth with
international corporations investing in the region's
crops,initially for use in instant coffee.
But in the last 10 to 15 years,tastes and demand
for specialty and high-grade coffees emerged,especially
from local growers and shops.The domestic demand for
China-grown coffee has risen so dramatically that Gao
says it's now much more expensive.
