一、阅读理解
Passage A
In the small Dutch town of Giethoorn,often referred to as the Venice of the North,"the residents have
long understood a fundamental secret to green living:the best solutions are often the simplest.There are
no roads in the centre of Giethoom.Instead,all transport is done by water over its many canals or on foot
over its wooden bridges.This unique infrastructure,bomn out of historical necessity,has become a
powerful model for sustainable tourism and low-impact living.
Unlike Amsterdam,which struggled with the theft and vandalism of its originalwhite bike"scheme,
Giethoom's transport system was never imposed.It evolved naturally.Families own electric boats,known
as"whispers,"which glide silently through the water,producing zero local emissions.The only sounds
are the lapping of water and the chirping of birds.This quiet revolution has attracted global attention,but
the town is cautious.
However,success has brought new challenges.The number of tourists has skyrocketed,leading to
overcrowding on the canals.Some visitors,lacking respect for the local environment,litter and disturb the
peace.In response,the local government has implemented a booking system for canal traffic and
increased fines for littering.They have also launched educational campaigns,encouraging visitors to
"leave only footprints"or in this case,only ripples."
"Green living isn't just about technology,"says local council member Elma van der Meer."It's about a
mindset.It's about contentedness with what you have and a determination to protect it for the future
We're not trying to ban progress,but we are tying to overcome the problems that come with it in a way
that aligns with our values."The town's current approach involves carefully managing its resources to
ensure its survival as a unique ecological haven.It is a lesson in sustainable development that many
modem cities could profit from.The former quiet of the village is now a precious commodity,and the
community is determined to preserve it.
()1.What is the primary mode of transport in Giethoorn?
A.Bicycles
B.Electiic cars
C.Boats
D.Shared e-scooters
()2.The phrase"leave only ripples"(Paragraph 3)is a play on words,suggesting tourists should
A.swim in the canals
B.minimize their environmental impact
C.only take boat tours
D.leave their footprints in the mud
()3.What problem has Giethoorn faced due to its popularity?
A.A shortage of bicycles
B.The theft of'whisper"boats
C.Overcrowding from tourists
D.The failure of its booking system
()4.What is Elma van der Meer's attitude towards the town's development?
A.She is against any form of progress.
B.She is determined but cautious.
C.She thinks the current situation is hopeless.
D.She worries about the town's financial profit
()5.What is the best title for this passage?
A.The Bicycle Revolution in Amsterdam
B.Giethoorn:A Model for Sustainable Tourism
C.How to Overcome Problems in a Modern City
D.The History of Dutch Canals
Passage B
For years,the concept of a"circular economy"was confined to the pages ofacademic joumnals and
environmental policy documents.Today,it is being put into practice by innovative companies,
challenging the traditional take-make-dispose"model of consumption.At the heart of this shift is a
reimagining of profit and value.Instead of corporations profiting from planned obsolescence(the practice
of designing a product with an artificially limited useful life),a new generation of businesses is proving
that durability and recyclability can be highly profitable.
One such example is the story of"Faiphone,"a Dutch social enterprise that produces a modular
smartphone.Unlike mainstream phones that are nearly impossible to repair,Fairphone is designed to be
taken apart easily.A user can replace a broken screen with a simple tool,upgrade the camera module,or
swap out a dying battery.This drastically extends the phone's survival rate and reduces electronic waste.
The company has overcome significant challenges in the supply chain,ensuring that the minerals used in
the phone are sourced from conflict-free zones.Their determination to create a"fairer"phone has won
them a loyal following.
Another example is the clothing company Patagonia,which encourages its customers to repair,reuse,and
recycle their gear.They even sell used clothing on their website.This strategy might seem to cut into their
profit from selling new items,but it has actually enhanced their brand reputation and customer loyalty.
They have shown that a company can be contented with a slower growth model while still being
financially successful.
This new business model has several key features.First,it redefines ownership,customers are buying a
service or a long-term product,not a disposable item.Second,it relies on innovative design,where
products are built to last and be fully recyclable.Finally,it requires a shift in mindset from the current
"more is better"culture to one of quality over quantity.
As one business leader quoted in a recent interview,"The most efficient product is the one that doesn't
need to be replaced.This is the new frontier of innovation."The transition to a circular economy will not
be easy,but it offers a slim but realistic chance to create a truly sustainable future.
()6.What does the "take-make-dispose"model in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.A system of sharing products.
B.A method of repairing broken items.
C.A traditional way of consumption and waste.
D.A process ofmining raw materials.
()7.What makes a Fairphone different from a mainstream smartphone?
A.It is cheaper.
B.It is designed to be repairable.
C.It has a much longer battery life
D.It uses rare,valuable minerals.
()8.How has Patagonia's strategy of selling used clothing affected its business?
A.It has reduced their profits significantly
B.It has confused their customers.
C.It has improved their brand image
D.It has caused supply chain problems.
()9.The word "disposable"in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to
A.expensive
B.throwaway
C.long-lasting
D.reusable
()10.What is the author's overall attitude towards the circular economy?
A.Strongly supportive but realistic about its challenges.
B.Completely skeptical and critical.
C.Neutral and purely descriptive.
D.Enthusiastic but slightly exaggerated.

三、阅读短文回答问题
Read the passage and answer the questions based on it.
"White Bike"schemes,where bicycles are shared publicly for free,have become a symbol of green urban
transport.However,the occurrence of theft and vandalism has often been a major barrier to their success.
In Amsterdam's original 1965 plan,the bikes were left unlocked and were soon stolen or thrown into
canals.The dream of a car-free city centre seemed to overcome by reality.It took decades of leaming and
technological innovation to bring the idea back to life
Today's bike-sharing systems,like those in China,operate on a different model.They use smart locks,
GPS trackers,and user accounts.While this has drastically reduced theft,it has created new problems:
piles ofunused bikes,known as 'bike graveyards,"can clutter public spaces.This is a new challenge for
current city planners.Some argue that the former model of free,unstructured sharing was more beautiful
in its simplicity,even if it failed.
The key to solving this might lie in a combination of the two ideas.For example,some cities now have
donation-based systems where abandoned bikes are repaired and given a second life.Volunteers show
great determination to make these projects work.They do not seek personal profit instead,they find a
sense of contentedness in contributing to a cleaner community.These community-run schemes often have
a very low theft rate because everyone feels a sense of ownership.The survival of these programs
depends not just on technology,but on community spirit.As one volunteer quoted,"It's not just about the
bike;it's about showing we care for our city and each other."
1.What was the main problem with Amsterdam's original"white bike"plan?
2.What is a bike graveyard"according to the passage?
3.What is one advantage of the modern,technology-based bike-sharing system mentioned?
4.Why do community-run bike repair projects often have a low theft rate?
5.What does the volunteer's quote at the end of the passage imply about the true success of such
programs?
四、短文填空
Success rarely happens by(1)
.It often(②)
when an individual has a strong (3)
to overcome difficulties.A person who is easily (4)
with their current situation may
never strive for great things.However,a truly successful person is driven by a desire to make a(5)
impact on the world,not just financial gain.

of the original"white bike"idea in Amsterdam was
at nisk due to theft.The(7)dream of free transport seemed impossible.But with great(8)
people didn't give up.They leamned from the past and adapted.Today,the (9)

范文:
Dear Tom,
It's great to hear from you!I'm glad you're interested in the shared bikes in China.
Shared bikes have become incredibly popular here because they are super convenient and help to reduce
pollution.You can find and unlock one easily with your phone.This perfectly embodies"Green Living"
by cutting down carbon emissions from cars and encouraging people to cycle,which is healthy.
However,a major challenge is that some people park the bikes carelessly,blocking sidewalks.To solve
this,the government is now using more GPS technology to create electronic parking zones,and riders
who park wrongly may be fined.
I believe this is just the beginning of a greener future for travel.
Best wishes,
Li Hua
