Tiny Forest Initiative: Transforming Urban Landscapes
Tiny Forest is a small forest, which fits into the size of a tennis court and can help restore ecosystems, is a method created by Indian engineer Shubhendu Sharma, based on the method of Japanese Akira Miyawaki to restore natural and native forests. IVN Environmental Education in the Netherlands has invited this engineer to come and plant the first Tiny Forest in Europe.

In 2002, Huang Hui, a researcher of the South China Sea Institute of Oceanology, went diving near Xisha. In addition to getting an irremovable suntan (晒黑), she was left with memories of a beautiful experience with clear water and abundant colorful corals (珊瑚). However, much of the breathtaking scenery of this reef has disappeared due to climate change and human activities. All of these factors led to the decline of the coral reef in the near shore waters. “We started to cultivate corals near the Xisha Islands in 2010, and restored more than 200,000 square meters of coral reefs,” Huang said.
In 2004, when Huang was attending the 10th International Coral Reef Symposium, she found herself the only representative from the Chinese mainland. She said she felt sad but she made up her mind to strengthen communication with other countries to improve China’s level and status in coral research. She visited top coral research institutes in the US and Australia, establishing long-term cooperation with some of the world’s top coral researchers. By far, Huang has worked on coral research and protection for 22 years. Now, China is in a leading position in terms of technology and coral planting scale.
Huang believes that people’s consciousness of coral protection matters most to the sustainable development of the coral reefs. “I want to call on more people to love nature and look at the ocean in awe,” Huang said.
Partly due to her efforts, Hainan Province released a law in 2017, banning reef exploitation (开发), trading and damaging.
Huang works as a consultant for customs and frontier police on coral protection and promotes coral protection in her local schools. Huang also provides online free training for divers to teach them proper behavior in the sea to protect coral reefs.
“A group of ‘folk scientists’ have also been trained with the hope that more people can gain awareness of the significance of coral reef protection and know how to protect them,” said Huang.
“I am 50, and when I become 60, I hope that not only a coral island will be built but a sustainable development pattern will also be created,” said Huang. “The ideal state is that the coral island should be able to support fishermen and preserve the ecosystem,” she added.
What impressed Huang most when going diving near Xisha in 2002
A. A permanent sunburn on her skin. B. A large quantity of colorful corals.
C. A sweet memory of her childhood. D. The sudden disappearance of corals.
What does Paragraph 2 mainly focus on
A. China’s advances in coral protection. B. Huang’s devotion to coral protection.
C. Huang’s concern over coral protection. D. People’s ignorance of coral protection.
What is the key to protecting corals according to Huang Hui
A. Public awareness of coral protection. B. Tough laws banning reef exploitation.
C. Introduction of advanced technology. D. Communication with foreign countries.
What is the best title for this passage
A. Corals in South China Sea are in danger. B. Scientist plants corals to save ecosystem.
C. China is taking the lead in planting corals. D. Measures are to be taken to protect corals.
C
A major new facility to pull CO2 out of the atmosphere has started operating in Iceland, which is a boost to an emerging technology that experts say could eventually play an important role in reducing greenhouse gases.
The plant in southwest Iceland is the biggest of its kind, its builder says. It is able to capture (捕获) 900 tons of CO2 every year but it needs heat and electricity to work. It is using energy produced from waste and is built on the roof of a waste incineration (焚化) plant, and through the burning of rubbish, energy is generated.
Human-sized fans are built into a series of boxes. They take CO2 out of the air, catching it in spongelike filters (海绵过滤器). The filters are heated, freeing the gas, which is then mixed with water and pumped deep into deep underground basalt (玄武岩) caves, where over time it turns into dark-gray stone. Pumping CO2 into the ground is just one way to deal with it. The makers are also selling the gas to be used again. The CO2 can be captured just a few 100 miles away. It is pumped through an underground pipeline directly into a greenhouse. Vegetables and plants love CO2 and higher concentrations of the gas within the greenhouse improve the growth of plants.
By 2050, humanity will need to pull nearly a billion metric tons of CO2 from the atmosphere every year through direct air capture technology to achieve carbon neutral goals, according to International Energy Agency recommendations. The plant in Iceland will be able to capture 4000 metric tons annually — just a small amount of what will be necessary, but one that Climeworks, the company that built it, says can grow rapidly as efficiency improves and costs decrease.
“This is a market that does not yet exist, but a market that urgently needs to be built,” said Christoph Gebald who co-founded Climeworks. “This plant that we have here is really the blueprint to further increase the size and really industrialize.”
What do we know about the carbon capture facility from paragraph 2
A. It is built at high altitudes (海拔). B. It uses waste to produce power.
C. It makes Iceland free of air pollution. D. It produces lots of heat during operation.
What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. The methods of breaking down CO2. B. The approaches to reusing waste gas.
C. The necessity of building greenhouses. D. The workings of the carbon-catching plant.
What can we expect from the future carbon capture technology
A. It will decrease the cost of energy production.
B. It will speed up the reduction of CO2levels in the air.
C. It may replace the traditional carbon storage system.
D. It can help reach the carbon neutral goals in advance.
What is Christoph Gebald’s attitude towards building the plants
A. Supportive. B. Neutral. C. Disapproving. D. Uncaring.
D
Imagining a human being without historical sense is scary. The thought of living exclusively in a present moment is scary. Scarier still is the thought of an entire generation, not to mention society, operating with a lack of a sense of history. And yet that is exactly the situation in which we find ourselves today.
The people and events of history may be rooted in the past, but how we talk about those things, what we write about them, and how we teach them—in other words, how we practise history as the record of human experience—tell us a lot about who we are and what we value right now. Thinking of ourselves as a chapter in an as-yet unwritten history book, on the other hand, is likely to force deeper self-reflection: Whose stories will we stand up for What values will we defend What models will we offer following generations In an era of environmental change, rising inequality and great shifts in the international political context, we need to understand how our institutions (制度) have developed. History gives us power. No other subject helps us to understand so comprehensively what it is to be human.
The implications of ignorance of what have happened are incredible, but the ignorance itself isn’t entirely surprising given the lowered status of history in most schools. The discipline (学科) of history has become sidelined. “History fights for its place in the curriculum (课程) with geography,” Dr. Bain observed, “but its attention to time, place and context is what makes it really distinct.” In other words, history doesn’t simply tell us how to be good citizens: It equips us with the knowledge we need to comprehend our world clearly, and the ability to analyze it accurately.
Clearly, in an age of “fake news”, engaged citizens need to be culturally literate, critical thinkers. There is no better subject than history to develop an appreciation of context and an ability to look for evidence. We should expect a logical history curriculum for our children. If it were common to hear graduates claim that they’d never learned to add, subtract, multiply and divide, there would be a severe protest.So should there be now.
What is the situation the author mentioned in paragraph 1
A. The fear of the past. B. The ignorance of history.
C. The exclusion of the present. D. The dissatisfaction of society.
What does the author mainly stress in paragraph 2
A. Consequences of overlooking history. B. Significance of mastering all subjects.
C. Resolutions of the current international issues. D. Insights from history for today and tomorrow.
Which one of the following ideas might Dr. Bain agree with
A. Critical thinking is key to studying history well.
B. Schools should enhance the status of history curriculum.
C. Ignorance of history is not as terrible as expected in schools.
D. Geography proves more meaningful and practical than history.
What does the underlined sentence “So should there be now.” mean
A. The historical sense can help us differentiate the news.
B. People are dissatisfied with graduates’ ability to calculate.
C. We should make history curriculum more logical and critical.
D. We should pay the same attention to history as to other subjects.

In the most southwestern part of China, the mountainous Yunnan province, you can see wild tea trees 56 have stood there for thousands of years. Since the Han dynasty, these trees, or more specifically their leaves, 57 (use) to make special varieties of black tea and to this day Yunnan remains one of the most important tea-producing regions.
The region of Yunnan, considered to be the birthplace of tea, 58 (prove) particularly suitable for the growth of tea trees because of its geographical characteristics. 59 the climate is generally mild and humid (潮湿的), and rain falls regularly, the landscape ranges from snow-capped mountains in the north to subtropical low-altitudes (亚热带低海拔地区) in the southeast.

The car turned onto the familiar road that led to Grandma’s farm. “Jude, this summer holiday will be a great chance for you to stay with your grandma,” Dad said as he drove. Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right.
The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why ” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake Was he still upset with me “I'm fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer puters are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing,” Grandma nodded.
I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market.
Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer.
However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent (有能力的) computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.”
I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts (零件) for our internet connection, but we just can't set it up.” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century.
