一、阅读理解
Passage A
The Amazon rainforest,often called the "lungs of the Earth,"is a vast ecosystem that plays a critical
role in regulating the global climate.For decades,scientists have warned that deforestation-the
clearing of forests for agriculture,mining,and logging-is pushing this vital region toward a
devastating tipping point.New research published in the journal Nature Climate Change suggests that
this point may be much closer than previously estimated.
A team of international scientists used satellite data to analyze the resilience of the Amazon rainforest
over the last two decades.They measured resilience by looking at how quickly the forest recovered
from disturbances like droughts and fires.Their findings are alarming:more than 75%of the rainforest
has been losing its ability to bounce back.Since the early 2000s,the resilience of forests in areas
heavily impacted by human activity and climate change has been declining significantly.
"The forest is becoming weaker and less able to withstand shocks,"explains Dr.Niklas Boers,the
lead author of the study."Once a forest loses its resilience,a relatively minor disturbance,like a
severe drought,could trigger a sudden and large-scale dieback,transforming a lush rainforest into a dry
savanna-like landscape.This would have catastrophic consequences for global biodiversity and
accelerate climate change."
The study identifies three main drivers of this loss of resilience:rising global temperatures,increased
frequency of extreme droughts,and,most importantly,deforestation.The combination of these factors
creates a dangerous feedback loop.Deforestation reduces local rainfall and makes the forest hotter and
drier,which in tumn makes it more susceptible to fires.These fires release massive amounts of carbon
dioxide into the atmosphere,further driving global warming,which then increases the risk of more
severe droughts.
The potential collapse of the Amazon is not a distant threat;it is a present danger.The scientists
emphasize that urgent action is needed to halt deforestation and reduce global carbon emissions.They
argue that protecting the remaining forest and restoring degraded areas are crucial not just for the
Amazon itself,but for the stability of the entire planet's climate system.The window of opportunity
to prevent this ecological disaster is closing rapidly.
()1.What is the main purpose of the research published in Nature Climate Change?
A.To measure the total area of the Amazon rainforest.
B.To assess the Amazon rainforest's ability to recover from disturbances.
C.To predict the exact date of the Amazon's ecological collapse.
D.To calculate the amount of carbon dioxide released by deforestation.
()2.What does the underlined word "resilience"in paragraph 2 most likely mean?
A.The total biomass of a forest.
B.The capacity to endure and recover from shocks.
C.The rate of biodiversity within an ecosystem
D.The average temperature of a forested area.
()3.According to the passage,which of the following is the most significant factor contributing to the
Amazon's loss of resilience?
A.Rising global temperatures.
B.Increased frequency of extreme droughts.
C.The clearing of forests by humans.
D.The natural life cycle of the rainforest.
()4.What does the term "feedback loop"in paragraph 4 refer to?
A.A scientific method used to study forest data.
B.A communication channel between scientists and govemnments.
C.A self-reinforcing cycle of negative environmental changes.
D.A system of intemational laws designed to protect forests.
Passage B
The global push for cleaner energy sources has led to a booming demand for the metals and minerals
needed to build batteries for electic vehicles (EVs)and renewable energy infrastructure.While this
transition is essential for combating climate change,the extraction of these critical "green"resources
is increasingly coming under fire for its own significant environmental and social impacts,creating a
complex and often overlooked paradox.
Deep-sea mining is one such controversial frontier.The ocean floor,particularly in areas like the
Clarion-Clipperton Zone(CCZ)in the Pacific Ocean,is nich in polymetallic nodules-potato-sized
rocks containing manganese,nickel,cobalt,and copper.These metals are vital for EV batteries.
Proponents of deep-sea mining,including some nations and companies,argue that it is less
environmentally damaging than terrestrial mining,which can involve rainforest destruction,toxic waste,
and human rights abuses.They claim that the impact on the deep-sea ecosystem,though not fully
understood,might be more contained.
However,marine biologists and environmental groups strongly disagree.They warn that the deep
ocean is one of the most pristine and least understood ecosystems on Earth.Mining operations would
use massive machines to vacuum up nodules from the seafloor,destroying the habitat of countless
species.The sediment plumes created by this process could smother marine life for hundreds of
kilometers.Furthermore,many deep-sea creatures are slow-growing and reproduce slowly,meaning
any damage could take centuries or even millennia to recover."We are on the verge of causing
irreversible damage to an ecosystem we know almost nothing about,"warns Professor Lisa Levin,a
deep-sea ecologist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
This dilemma highlights a fundamental challenge of the green transition:there are no perfectly clean
solutions.The shift away from fossil fuels requires massive amounts of raw materials,and extracting
them always comes with an environmental cost.The question is not whether we should mine,but
where and how.The current debate forces a critical re-evaluation of our consumption patterns.Are we
simply replacing one set of environmental problems with another?Finding the balance between the
urgent need to decarbonize and the imperative to protect our remaining wild places is perhaps the
greatest challenge of our time.
()1.What is the paradox"mentioned in the first paragraph?
A.Clean energy is not as effective as traditional energy sources.
B.The materials needed for green technology can be environmentally destructive to obtain.
C.The demand for EVs is decreasing despite the push for cleaner energy.
D.Terrestrial mining is more damaging than deep-sea mining
()2.What is a key argument in favor ofdeep-sea mining mentioned in the passage?
A.The deep-sea ecosystem is already heavily polluted.
B.It might have a more contained environmental impact than land-based mining.
C.The technology for deep-sea mining is perfectly safe.
D.It provides the only source of metals needed for EV batteries.
()3.Which of the following best describes the attitude of Professor Lisa Levin towards deep-sea
nining?
A.Strongly supportive.
B.Cautiously optimistic.
C.Deeply concemed and opposed.
D.Neutral and objective.
二、完形填空
The relationship between humans and nature has always been a delicate one.For centuries,we have
viewed the natural world primarily as a resource to be exploited for our own benefit.However,this 1.
is beginning to change.As the consequences of environmental degradation become
increasingly 2.,from extreme weather events to the collapse of ecosystems,a new perspective
is emerging-one that sees nature not just as a 3.
of raw materials,but as a vital partner in
our own survival and well-being.
This shift in thinking is 4.
in the growing global movement for "nature-based solutions"
(NBS).These are actions that protect,sustainably manage,and restore natural or modified ecosystems
to address societal challenges.Instead of building a concrete sea wall to 5.
a coastal city from
rising sea levels,for example,an NBS approach would involve restoring a mangrove forest,which acts
as a natural 6.
against storm surges and waves.Similarly,instead of constructing an expensive
water treatment plant,a city might protect a watershed forest,which naturally filters and provides clean
drinking water.
The benefits of NBS are 7.
They are often more cost-effective than purely technological
solutions in the long run.They provide multiple co-benefits,such as improving air and water quality,
supporting biodiversity,and offering recreational 8.for local communities.Moreover,they are
inherently more adaptable and resilient to the 9.
of climate change.
Despite these advantages,the adoption of NBS is still limited by significant bariers.One major
obstacle is a 10.
of awareness and understanding among policymakers and the public.We are
so accustomed to "gray"infrastructure (concrete and steel)that we often fail to see the 11.
potential of "green"infrastructure.Another challenge is the difficulty of measuring and 12.
the economic value of the services that nature provides.
Overcoming these barriers requires a fundamental change in how we think and plan.It demands that
we13.
nature into the core of our economic and developmental strategies,rather than treating
it as an afterthought.The shift towards nature-based solutions is not just an environmental necessity;it
is a 14.
opportunity to build a more sustainable,resilient,and prosperous future.By working
with nature,rather than 15.
it,we can ensure a healthier planet for generations to come.

三、阅读短文回答问题
Read the following passage and answer the questions in complete sentences.
Earth's climate has been relatively stable for the past 10,000 years,a period that allowed human
civilization to flourish.This stability,however,is now under threat.The primary driver of modemn
climate change is the greenhouse effect,a natural process that has been amplified by human activities.
The greenhouse effect works like a blanket around our planet.Certain gases in the atmosphere,known
as greenhouse gases (GHGs),trap heat from the sun,preventing it from escaping back into space.This
process keeps the Earth warm enough for life to exist.Without it,the average global temperature would
be about-18°C.
The main GHGs include carbon dioxide (CO2),methane (CH4),and nitrous oxide (N2O).These gases
occur naturally,but human activities have significantly increased their concentrations since the
Industrial Revolution.The buming of fossil fuels-coal,oil,and natural gas-for energy,
transportation,and industry is the largest source of CO2 emissions.Deforestation also plays a major
role because trees absorb CO2.When forests are cut down,this "carbon sink"is removed,and the
stored carbon is often released back into the atmosphere.
Methane,a potent but shorter-lived GHG,is released from agricultural practices like livestock farming
(cattle and sheep produce methane as part of their digestion)and rice paddies,as well as from the
extraction of oil and gas.Nitrous oxide,another powerful GHG,comes primarily from the use of
nitrogen-based fertilizers in agriculture.
The increased concentration of these gases traps more heat,leading to a rise in global average
temperatures.This warming has a cascade of effects.It causes polar ice sheets and glaciers to melt,
contibuting to sea-level rise.It alters weather patterns,leading to more frequent and intense extreme
events like heatwaves,droughts,floods,and powerful hurricanes.It also disrupts ecosystems,pushing
many species towards extinction as their habitats change faster than they can adapt.
Addressing climate change requires a two-pronged approach:mitigation and adaptation.Mitigation
involves reducing the flow of GHGs into the atmosphere.This includes transitioning to renewable
energy sources like solar and wind,improving energy efficiency,and protecting and restoring forests.
Adaptation,on the other hand,involves adjusting to the effects of climate change that are already
happening or are unavoidable.This could mean building sea walls to protect coastal cities,developing
drought-resistant crops,or improving early warning systems for extreme weather.Both mitigation and
adaptation are essential;one without the other is insufficient.The scale of the challenge is immense,but
the cost of inaction is far greater.
1.What is the primary human activity responsible for the largest source of CO2 emissions?
2.Besides burning fossil fuels,what other human activity contributes to increased CO2 levels?
3.Name one agricultural source of the potent greenhouse gas methane,as mentioned in the text.
4.What are the two key approaches required to address climate change,according to the passage?
5.What is one example of climate change adaptation mentioned in the final paragraph?

范文:
Dear Tom,
I fully understand your concem after reading the news about the industrial park.It's a difficult
situation,but I believe economic development and environmental protection don't have to be in
conflict.
My suggestion is to promote green industries.The government could require the park to use clean
energy and advanced waste-treatment technology.They should also create strict environmental
regulations and ensure they are enforced.This way,they create jobs and boost the economy without
destroying the environment.
In my opinion,true prosperity comes from sustainable development.A destroyed environment will
eventually harm the economy.Only by balancing both can we ensure a bright future for everyone.
Yours,
