UNIT8课时检测（九） I.阅读理解 A study has shown how ecotourism in the Philippines has changed people's attitudes towards marine conservation(海洋保护). Researchers from the University of Victoria and other institutes in the Philippines visited three sites where tourists pay to swim with whale sharks in the wild.They interviewed a range of locals in Oslob,Donsol and Pintuyan, including fishers and whale shark hunters.In Oslob,the largest of the three sites,people were more likely to speak about the resulting improvement in their quality of life and increase in job opportunities.At the smaller, less profitable sites,people's responses were more likely to be about the changes in how people behaved towards the sharks. Dr.Jackie Ziegler,leader of the team of researchers,said,"Many of the people reported they cared about and valued whale sharks because of tourism activities.They also expressed the community's emotional connection with the species and the strong need to protect them.Before the introduction of tourism activities,most of the locals admitted to harming the sharks by hitting them with stones or riding them."In terms of attitudes towards the wider marine environment,the majority of the respondents now actively encourage others 4 Reading Club(自修课) to care about the ocean and they also use more sustainable fishing practices. The study also acknowledged the potential negative effects of tourism on the marine environment,such as impacts on the health of local coral reefs and of the sharks.It concluded that further studies were needed to assess these impacts before a firm conclusion could be drawn regarding the positive impacts of whale shark tourism on ocean conservation. Nevertheless,the researchers say their work suggests ecotourism should be an effective means of strengthening protection."Bringing the views of the local tour operator to the study was necessary for uncovering the true impacts of whale shark tourism and the wider benefits to the ocean conservation in the Philippines,"Dr.Ziegler added. 1.What were the local people the least concerned about according to Paragraph 2?

D.Beneficial. 3.What will be the focus of future research on tourism? A.The influence on marine species. B.The strategies for carrying out marine ecotourism. C.The types of ocean conservation. D.The importance of protecting the local whale sharks. 4.What can be the best title of the text? A.Ecotourism Changes Locals'Attitudes to Marine Conservation B.Ecotourism Does Much Good to Marine Life as Before C.Marine Ecotourism Gives Rise to a New Kind of Business D.Ecotourism Has Brought Large Benefits to People B There are plenty of health benefits of spending time in the great outdoors.According to a study published in the International Journal of Environmental Health Research, people who grew up with access to nature may have better mental health as adults than those who did not. To test their hypothesis（假设)， researchers sent questionnaires to 3,585 adults aged 18 to 75 in four European cities on topics such as how often they visited natural spaces as children and now as adults.Participants were also given psychological test to determine the state of their mental health in the last month. Adults with low levels of nature exposure during childhood saw“significantly worse” mental health issues and did not view natural spaces as much importance in adulthood as those who spent more time growing up outside. Researchers say that their findings show the importance of childhood exposure to natural spaces as it relates to developing an appreciation of nature and healthy psychological state in adulthood. This is particularly significant,because almost three-quarters of Europeans currently live in urban areas with little access to green spaces.That number is expected to increase to 80 percent in the next three decades.Mental health has been shown to be negatively influenced by urban environments due to exposure to noise,crowds and a lack of green spaces among other things.Children who lead inactive lifestyles are more likely to have a lower quality of life and physical health. "Many children in Europe lead an indoor lifestyle,so it would be desirable to make natural outdoor environments available,attractive and safe for them to play in,"said study author Mark Nieuwenhuijsen,director of ISGlobal's Urban Planning,Environment and Health Initiative."We make a call on policymakers to improve the availability of natural spaces for children and green schoolyards." 5.What inspiration do researchers take from their findings? A.The health of children's psychology. B.The state of children's mental health. C.The development of nature appreciation. D.The importance of childhood exposure to nature. 6.What can we infer from Paragraph 4? A.Europeans prefer an inactive lifestyle. B.European children are in good physical health. C.Europeans lack access to natural spaces. D.European children probably suffer lower quality of life. 7.What in the future is the study most likely to influence according to the last paragraph? A.Urban planning.B.Economic policies. C.Child education.D.Local tourism. 8.What can be the best title for the text? A.Indoor Activities Are Good for Children's Growth B.Living in Urban Areas Harms Psychological Health C.An Inactive Lifestyle Means a Lower Quality of Life D.Childhood Exposure to Nature Benefits Mental Health Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Some paper plates can be recycled.1 Rather than throw them away after one use, consider more eco-friendly choices. 2 First,they're coated in plastic.This coating offers a smooth surface and prevents the paper plate from taking in liquids.Usually, 5 the coating can't be separated from the paper in a recycling facility,so these paper plates can't be recycled like regular paper.Second,they're polluted with food waste.Once they've been used,paper plates become covered in food waste.This adds pollutants to the recycling process.3 If you're trying to reduce your impact on the environment,then looking at ways to reuse any paper plates you do have is a good option. If you bought heavy-duty paper plates and they're only a little dirty after use-if you served dry food on them,for example-you can clean them and use them again.4 The most obvious alternative to paper plates is reusable plates.Even though you have to wash them with water,the environmental impact of a reusable plate will still be lower.If you're looking for a semi-disposable(用数次 plate,then you can find plates made from natural materials like bamboo.These plates can be used and washed or cleaned a few times.5 A.The short answer is yes and no. B.However,the vast majority usually can't. C.At the end of their life,they will break down naturally. D.PLA is a bioplastic that's used to coat some paper plates. E.So most cities won't accept used paper plates for recycling. F.There are two main reasons why the majority of paper plates can't be recycled. G.If you have clean paper plates,they can be used for a wide range of other projects.used to plant the trees.With the skills taught by his teacher,:8.D标题归纳题。根据第一段内容可知，一项研究结果表 he worked with his mom to replant those trees.They helped 明，儿童时期接触大自然有益于心理健康，接下来则用研 the trees survive. 究证实这个结论，整篇文章都是围绕这个研究结论展开， The neighbours praised Sam for what he had done. 故D选项“儿童时期接触大自然有益于心理健康”适合作 Sam told them about his experience of planting trees.But he 本文标题。 owed all the praise to his teacher and mother.He explained II. that because of his teacher and mother,he learned the skills【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了纸盘很 and saved the trees..The neighbours were very happy to hear!难被回收，建议选择可重复使用的盘子。 that.They said Sam was a role model and that they would 1.B根据上文“Some paper plates can be recycled.”以及下 ask their children to learn the skills from Sam.Sam felt proud "Rather than throw them away after one use,consider and decided to develop a better community and protect the i more eco-friendly choices.”可知，B选项“然而，绝大多数 environment with them. 人通常不能”与上下文话题一致，且与上文构成转折关系， UNIT8课时检测（九）Reading Club(自修课) 符合语境。 :2.F根据下文“First,they're coated in plastic.”“Second,.
