一、阅读理解
Passage 1
In recent years,the concept of"green living"has moved from a niche lifestyle choice to a mainstream
movement,driven by growing awareness of climate change and environmental degradation.However,a
new study published in the Joumal of Environmental Psychology suggests that while many people
express strong support for environmental protection,there exists a significant gap between their stated
intentions and actual behavior-a phenomenon researchers call the"green attitude-behavior gap."
The study,conducted by researchers at the University of Bath,surveyed over 2,000 households across the
United Kingdom over a period of 18 months.Participants were asked about their environmental attitudes
and intentions,and their actual behaviors were tracked through a combination of self-reported diaries and
smart home technology that monitored energy consumption,waste production,and transportation choices.
The results were striking.While 87%of participants expressed strong concem about climate change and
claimed to prioritize environmentally friendly choices,only 23%consistently engaged in behaviors that
aligned with these stated values.For example,92%said they believed recycling was important,but only
41%actually sorted their waste comrectly on a regular basis.Similarly,78%stated they would pay more
for sustainable products,yet actual purchasing data showed that only 34%followed through with this
intention when faced with higher prices.
Dr.Sarah Chen,lead author of the study,explained the underlying causes:"The gap isn't simply about
laziness or lack of concern.Our research identifies several key barriers.First,there's the issue of
convenience.Even well-intentioned individuals often choose the easier option when faced with time
pressure or limited access to sustainable altemnatives.Second,cost remains a significant obstacle-eco-
fiiendly products are frequently more expensive,creating a conflict between environmental values and
practical economics.Third,there's what we call the 'social nommalization effect';people are less likely to
adopt green behaviors when they perceive that others around them aren't doing so."
The study also found that specific interventions could help bridge this gap.Households that received
personalized feedback on their energy consumption reduced their usage by an average of 15%within
three months.Those who were given clear,actionable steps-such as specific recycling guidelines rather
than general advice-showed a 40%improvement in waste-sorting accuracy.Most notably,when
communities established visible green initiatives,such as neighborhood composting programs or car-
sharing schemes,participation rates increased dramatically,suggesting that social norms play a crucial role
in transforming good intentions into concrete action.
These findings have important implications for policymakers and environmental campaigners.Rather than
simply raising awareness,which the study shows is already high,efforts should focus on removing
practical barriers,making sustainable choices more accessible and affordable,and fostering community-
based initiatives that create positive social pressure.As Dr.Chen concluded,"Bridging the attitude-
behavior gap requires not just changing minds,but changing the environment in which those minds
operate."
()1.What does the recent study primarily focus on?
A.The increasing popularity ofgreen living among young people.
B.The difference between people's environmental attitudes and their actions.

Passage 2
The world's cities are responsible for more than 70%of global carbon dioxide emissions,and with urban
populations expected to swell by another 2.5 billion by 2050,the challenge of creating sustainable urban
environments has never been more pressing.In response,a growing number of cities are tumning to an
ambitious concept known as the "15-minute city"-an urban planning model that aims to ensure
residents can access all their essential needs within a 15-minute walk or bike ride from their homes
The concept,populaized by French-Colombian scientist Carlos Moreno,envisions neighborhoods where
daily necessities-including grocery stores,healthcare facilities,schools,parks,restaurants,and cultural
venues-are all within easy reach without requiring a car.By reducing dependence on automobiles,the
model promises to cut transportation emissions dramatically while simultaneously improving quality of
life through increased physical activity and stronger community connections.
Paris has been at the forefront of this movement.Mayor Anne Hidalgo has made the 15-minute city a
central pillar of her urban policy,transforming the French capital by creating hundreds of kilometers of
new bike lanes,pedestrianizing major streets,and converting underused spaces into community gardens
and public squares.The city has also implemented a "school streets"program,temporarily closing streets
near schools during drop-off and pick-up times to reduce traffic and improve air quality.Early results are
promising:cycling in Paris has increased by 54%since 2020,and air pollution levels have dropped
significantly in areas where car use has been restricted.
However,the transition to 15-minute cities has not been without controversy.Critics ague that the model
could exacerbate existing inequalities,as wealthier neighborhoods are already well-served by amenities
while poorer areas lack the necessay infrastructure.In Paris,for example,the implementation has been
uneven-the affluent western districts have benefited more quickly from the changes than the
disadvantaged eastemn suburbs.There are also concemns about the economic impact on businesses located
outside these neighborhoods and the potential for increased property values to price out long-term
residents.
Despite these challenges,many urban planners believe the 15-minute city represents a necessary
evolution in how we think about urban space.Melboume,Australia,has adopted a similar "20-minute
neighborhood"plan,while Portland,Oregon,and Shanghai are experimenting with their own versions
The key to success,experts say,lies in ensuring equitable implementation-that the benefits of reduced
traffic,cleaner air,and more vibrant local communities are shared across all socioeconomic groups
Beyond the environmental benefits,advocates point to the model's potential to strengthen social cohesion
When people walk or bike through their neighborhoods rather than driving through them in cars,they are
more likely to interact with neighbors,support local businesses,and develop a sense of belonging.This,
they argue,is particularly important in an era of increasing social isolation and mental health challenges.
As one resident of a newly redesigned Parisian neighborhood remarked,"I used to drive everywhere
without really knowing my neighbors.Now I walk to the bakery,chat with people at the market,and my
kids play in the street.It feels like a real community again."
()1.What is the main goal of the"15-minute city"model?
A.To reduce the number of cars in urban areas.
B.To make daily necessities accessible within a short walk or bike ride.
C.To increase property values in city centers
D.To encourage people to move to suburban areas.
()2.Which city is mentioned as a leading example ofimplementing the 15-minute city concept?
A.Melboume
B.Shanghai
C.Paris
D.Portland
()3.What criticism has been raised against the 15-minute city model?
A.It is too expensive for most cities to implement.
B.It may worsen inequalities between rich and poor neighborhoods.
C.It has not been proven to reduce carbon emissions.
D.It discourages people from using public transportation.
()4.According to the passage,what is essential for the success of the 15-minute city model?
A.Complete elimination of private cars from cities.
B.Fair distribution of benefits across all social groups.
C.Strict government control over urban development
D.Rapid implementation regardless of local conditions.
()5.What additional benefit of the 15-minute city does the passage mention beyond environmental
gains?
A.Increased economic growth in all sectors.
B.Improved social connections and community belonging.
C.Higher employment rates in urban areas.
D.Reduced cost ofliving for all residents

三、阅读短文回答问题
Read the following passage and answer the questions in complete sentences.
In the small Dutch town of Gouda,a remarkable experiment in sustainability has been quietly unfolding.
The town's municipal government,in partnership with local residents and environmental organizations,
has transformed an abandoned industrial area into what experts are calling a"circular economy
laboratory"-a real-world test of whether communities can eliminate waste entirely by reusing and
recycling materials in a closed-loop system.
The project,named "Kringloop Gouda"(Circular Gouda),began in 2019 on a 20-hectare site that once
housed a paper factory.Today,the area contains a complex network of facilities designed to keep
materials in use for as long as possible.There is a repair cafe where residents bring broken electronics,
fumniture,and clothing to be fixed rather than thrown away.A"material bank"stores surplus building
materials from construction sites for reuse in community projects.A biogas plant converts organic waste
from local households and restaurants into energy that powers the site's buildings.Even wastewater is
treated and recycled on-site for inigation and industrial processes.
What makes Kringloop Gouda unique is its integration of social and environmental goals.The project
employs over 150 people,many of whom were previously long-term unemployed.Workers learn
valuable skills in repair,waste sorting,and sustainable construction,creating pathways to regular
employment.The site also hosts educational programs for schools,teaching children about circular
economy principles through hands-on activities.
Preliminary results are encouraging.In its first three years,the project diverted over 12,000 tons of waste
from landfills-equivalent to roughly 60 kilograms per resident per year.Energy consumption on the site
has been reduced by 65%compared to conventional industrial operations.Perhaps most importantly,
surveys show that 78%of local residents now report actively participating in circular economy practices,
compared to just 22%before the project began.
However,scaling up such initiatives presents significant challenges.The initial investment was substantial
-over e15 million in public and private funding.Replicating the model requires strong political will,
community engagement,and a willingness to experiment with new approaches.Despite these hurdles,
Gouda's experiment offers a tangible example of how circular economy principles can be applied at the
community level,providing valuable lessons for other towns and cities seeking to reduce their
environmental footprint.
1.What is the main purpose of the "Kringloop Gouda"project?
2.Give two examples of facilities or services that operate within the project site
3.Besides environmental benefits,what social benefit does the project provide?
4.What were the results of the project in its first three years in terms of waste reduction?
5.What challenges does the passage identify for scaling up such circular economy initiatives?

Dear Tom,
I was delighted to receive your letter and learn about your interest in green living.It's truly admirable that
you are taking the initiative to make a positive impact on our environment.
In my opinion,there are several practical ways to adopt a greener lifestyle.First,you could start by
reducing the use of disposable products.For example,bringing your own reusable bags when shopping
and using a refillable water bottle instead of buying plastic ones can significantly cut down waste.
Second,try to cycle or walk for short distances instead of driving.Not only does this reduce carbon
emissions,but it also keeps you healthy.
I encourage you to keep up these efforts.Every small action counts!I would also love to hear about your
own experiences with green living.Perhaps we can exchange ideas and motivate each other.
Best wishes,
Li Hua
