阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The greening of planes,trains and automobiles
Moving goods and people around the world is responsible for a large part of global CO2 emissions(排放).As the world races to decarbonize everything,it faces particular problems with transportation—which accounts for about a quarter of our energy-related greenhouse gas emissions.Here’s the breakdown of the emissions in 2018 for different modes of transport.
The fuels for transport need to be not just green,cheap and powerful,but also lightweight and safe enough to be carried around.Each mode of transport has its specific fuel needs.Much is still to be settled,but here are some of the solutions to get us going green.
This energy transition(变革) is global,and the amount of renewable energy the world will need is “a little bit mind-blowing,” says mechanical engineer Keith Wipke at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.It’s estimated that the global demand for electricity could more than double by 2050.Fortunately,analyses suggest that renewables are up to the task.“We need to speed up the development of green energy,and it will all get used,” says Wipke.
21.What percentage of global transport emissions did road vehicles account for in 2018?
A.11.6%. B.45.1%. C.74.5%. D.86.1%.
22.Which mode of transport can go green comparatively easily?
A.Planes. B.Trucks. C.Trains. D.Ships.
23.What does Wipke suggest regarding energy transition?
A.Limiting fuel consumption.
B.Putting more effort into renewables.
C.Improving energy efficiency.
D.Making electricity more affordable.
B
One of the world’s rarest birds,the greater adjutant stork (大秃鹳),known locally as the Hargila,was once considered “disease carrier” and “ugly” by the villagers in Assam who would destroy their nests.Dr.Purnima Devi Barman,an Indian wildlife biologist,has been committed to protecting the endangered birds and changing the opinion of villagers.
Barman’s love of animals started at age five while she lived with her grandparents by the Brahmaputra River,where she often encountered all sorts of birds coming to the fields and wetlands.
Recalling one of the moments that changed her life,Barman said that while she was doing her PhD paper on the greater adjutant stork,she got a call telling her that a villager had cut the nest-tree of adjutant storks and nine chicks fell down.When she communicated with the villager and his neighbours,she was shouted at and laughed at.“The villager was so angry at me for rescuing the birds.One of his neighbours said that ‘We cannot keep it in our backyard.It makes our area very dirty and smelly’,” Barman recalled.But with her tireless effort,she managed to change his views and the villager joined her in protecting the birds.
“After that,I experienced the power of the community and decided to make use of it for stork conservation,” Barman added.She then started the Hargila Army of villagers,especially the network of thousands of families across villages who travel door to door with her in spreading awareness and educating people about stork conservation.
“Initially women hesitated to come out and volunteer.But one day,I organized a cooking contest and scores of people participated and that’s how all our gatherings revolved (围绕) around stork conservation and restoring their ecosystem.Slowly but surely,we increased the network,and now we are saving many other endangered species,” Barman said.
24.What has led to the decrease of the storks in Assam?
A.The attack of diseases.
B.High demand for wood.
C.Villagers’negative attitude.
D.Ignorance of their situation.
25.What drove Barman to found “the Hargila Army of villagers”?
A.Her bird-watching experience.
B.Her PhD study on the bird.
C.Her effort to prevent tree cutting.
D.Her communication with a villager.
26.How did Barman involve women at first?
A.By visiting them door to door.
B.By organising a cooking contest.
C.By giving away food to them.
D.By hosting voluntary activities.
27.What can we learn about Barman from her deeds?
A.She strives to preserve wildlife.
B.She values diverse views.
C.She prioritises academic education.
D.She cares about villagers’welfare.

In Murchison Falls National Park in Uganda,a non-profit organization Snares to Wares is helping local craftsmen make a living through selling sculptures made from the wiring in the traps of poachers(偷猎者).Located in northwest Uganda,the nation’s largest national park is a poaching hotspot,with the most common method being a wire snare(钢丝套) that closes around an animal’s foot.
Most poaching is done for meat,as the communities surrounding the park are some of the poorest in the country,and most of the animals poached are smaller herbivores(食草动物).Snares to Wares aids local people in developing their artists’eye and crafters’hand to weave hundreds of snares into wire sculptures of the park’s wildlife.The initiative was started by Tutilo Mudumba,a national geographic explorer,and Robert Montgomery,a wildlife ecologist at Michigan State University,and now has 620 craftsmen onboard,who sell on average about 800 sculptures a month.
Mudumba was conducting research on the use and distribution of snares in the park some years ago when he came up with the idea.In an interview,he explained that for most of the poor villagers around the park,wildlife represents a threat.He was shocked to learn after starting Snares to Wares that many locals didn’t know what the animals in the park looked like,so he helped sponsor field trips into Murchison Falls.There the locals study the animals,see how they behave,and allow their inner artist to take shape as they observe the park’s lions,rhinos,elephants,buffalo,giraffes,leopards,warthogs,and more.
Murchison Falls has experienced a dramatic recovery over the last decade,with a significant upgrade in the policing capabilities of rangers(护林员),and the abilities of the medical units as well—all leading to a doubling of the herbivore numbers.Predator populations are also increasing with the conviction(定罪) rate of caught poachers at almost 97% due to another investment project in a wildlife legal department within the Ugandan Wildlife Authority.
28.What can local people do with the help of Snares to Wares?
A.Build more snares.
B.Poach more animals.
C.Make wire sculptures.
D.Sponsor field trips.
29.Why did Mudumba do research in Murchison Falls National Park several years ago?
A.To survey population distribution.
B.To learn about traps.
C.To make interviews with the poor.
D.To study local animals.
30.What do the underlined words “inner artist” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Wildlife expert.
B.Local artist.
C.Potential artistic talent.
D.Infamous sculptor.
31.Which of the following best describes the current Murchison Falls?
A.Improving impressively.
B.Heavily invested.
C.Declining dramatically.
D.Thinly populated.
D
A new study on baby birds shows that traffic noise can affect their growth and lead to lifelong harm.The findings raise new concerns about the effects of noise pollution on wildlife—and humans as well.
Researchers already knew too much noise is likely to disturb birds,making it more difficult for the parents to communicate with and care for their baby birds.But it wasn’t clear whether the noise itself could directly harm young birds.
Mylene Mariette,a behavioral ecologist at Deakin University,and her team set out to answer that question with birds held on campus in Melbourne,Australia.For five nights in a row,they played eggs either road noise or bird songs for several hours.The sounds were kept at a volume of 65 decibels(分贝)—about the same loudness as a conversation in a bar or city traffic.Other eggs were left in silence.After the eggs hatched,the baby birds received one of two treatments—road noise or bird songs—for another 9 nights.The baby birds heard the sounds in a separate room,and then were returned to their nests.
Eggs exposed to traffic sounds were 19% less likely to hatch compared with those exposed to the sound of songs.This shows a clear effect of traffic noise,Mariette says.As the baby birds developed,they also showed worrying development signs.Those exposed to noise grew slower.Moreover,when those birds grew up,they had about half as many offspring (后代) as the birds exposed to songs as youngsters.
Hans Slabbekoorn,an ecologist and animal behavior expert at Leiden University,notes that these concerns apply to humans as well.“The findings suggest that the acoustic(听觉的) environment of birds in cities and along highways should be better managed,” he writes,“and that the acoustic comfort in hospital environments for pregnant mothers and babies requires special attention.” Eventually,the research might help reveal how much and in what ways noise pollution should be reduced.
32.What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on about the study?
A.Its process. B.Its result.
C.Its difficulty. D.Its purpose.
33.How are the findings explained in paragraph 4?
A.By giving examples.
B.By analyzing reasons.
C.By making comparisons.
D.By making predictions.
34.What do the findings indicate?
A.Move the birds from cities to protected areas.
B.Make laws to close highways and other noisy places.
C.Educate people on the bad effects of noise pollution.
D.Pay special attention to the hospital environment for babies.
35.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Traffic noise helps birds communicate
B.Scientists have found ways to reduce noise
C.Hospital environments are greatly affected
D.Traffic noise causes lifelong harm to baby birds

You can visit an aquarium or zoo near you,because aquariums and zoos help a lot with endangered species,allowing their populations to increase. 37 Thus,World Wildlife Day is the perfect day to pay a local aquarium or zoo a visit.
If possible,try to learn about the plants and wild animals near you.You can do some research about local wildlife.You can also research some of the threats to these plants and wild animals. 38 For example,if one of the primary threats an animal faces is litter,be sure to deal with it properly,and pick up any litter you see.
If you like,you can plant a garden with native tree,bush and flower species. 39 To plant them in the garden accordingly,it is necessary to do some research beforehand on trees,bushes and flowers that are native to your area and where they would grow best.
40 There are a variety of organizations that help wildlife in different ways.If you have a specific species that you’d like to support,or even if you’d just like to help wildlife in general,there might be an organization somewhere that you can join and assist with their efforts.

I know he has arrived before I ever saw him.Heads turn in his direction,and if he stops for just a minute,he draws a crowd.He walks through the halls in a way that shows he is truly confident.
His name is Augie.He is a six-year-old Goldendoodle with a strawberry-blond coat that is made for petting,and his manners are perfect.He is a trained therapy (治疗) dog who visits patients in the hospital where I work as a nurse.I have seen Augie come through the hospital,stopping for anyone who wants to pet him,and I have seen him go into patients’rooms.But I had never witnessed Augie providing the therapy that he was trained to give until I saw him with Mr.M.
Mr.M had been in the ICU for many weeks and suffered from many medical complications.His wife rarely left his side.Family and former co-workers visited.Prior to his retirement,Mr.M had worked as a canine (犬的) police officer and developed strong connections with his four-legged partners.It was a natural transition when,upon retiring from the police force,he became a trainer for the next generation of fearless police dogs.Sadly,he fell ill when attending a training program for police dogs.
Although he was awake,and his beautiful green eyes were open,there was little indication that he was aware of his surroundings.Mrs.M was untroubled by the lack of response and kept talking to him while she exercised his arms,hoping he would make some efforts to move them himself.I watched Mrs.M work with her husband’s hands,opening and closing them.She told him gently that he needed to move his hands so he would not lose the use of them,but he did not seem to be able to do it.He moved his eyes to look at her when she spoke to him,but he didn’t move his head toward her voice.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Then Augie was brought to make a visit.
Seeing that her husband was responding,Mrs.M started crying aloud!

第一节
Protecting Rare Animals
Today,many rare animals have disappeared or face the possibility of extinction.At the same time,many animals are hunted for fur or food.
Human beings are fully responsible for the situation.Taking care of the world’s rare animals is everyone’s responsibility.Rare animals are an essential part of our planet,which play a significant role in ecology.The extinction of them can have wide-ranging effects on humankind.Valuing wild animals enhances the relation between man and nature.We hope our future generations can hear lions roaring and birds singing,but not just see them in picture books.It is high time that we protect them.
第二节
Then Augie was brought to make a visit.He walked over to the bed,gently pushing Mr.M’s hand.At first,Mr.M showed no reaction.But then,something mysterious happened—Mr.M’s fingers moved slightly!Mrs.M’s eyes widened in disbelief.She stopped her movements and stared at her husband’s hand,expecting it to move again.Augie,seemingly sensing the change,stayed closer and made a soft noise,as if encouraging Mr.M to respond.Slowly,Mr.M’s hand began to move more purposefully and even managed to reach out to touch Augie’s fur.
Seeing that her husband was responding,Mrs.M started crying aloud! Her tears were a mixture of joy,relief,and disbelief.For weeks,she had watched helplessly as Mr.M lay in the ICU.But now,with Augie’s gentle presence,there was a ray of hope,a sign that her husband was still there,fighting to come back.In the following days,Augie’s visits became a regular occurrence.Each time he entered the room,Mr.M’s response grew stronger.In the end,Mr.M was well enough to be released from the hospital.Sometimes,amazing things can happen when we open our hearts to the healing power of animals.
