Four Environmentalists You Should Know
Throughout history,environmentalists have had a great influence not only on natural spaces,
but also on our individual lives.Here are four influential ones.
John Muir (1838—1914)
His lifelong love for hiking began when he hiked to the Gulf of Mexico in 1867.Muir spent much of his adult life wandering in—and fighting to preserve—the wilderness of the West,
especially California.His tireless efforts led to the creation of Yosemite National Park,Sequoia National Park,and millions of other conservation areas.
Rachel Carson (1907—1964)
Born in rural Pennsylvania,Rachel Carson went on to study biology at Johns Hopkins University.After working for the USA Fish and Wildlife Service,Carson published The Sea Around Us and other books.Her most famous work,however,was 1962’s Silent Spring,in which she described the harmful environmental effects of pesticides(杀虫剂).After Carson’s observations were proved correct,pesticides like DDT were banned.
Wangari Maathai (1940—2011)
Wangari Maathai was from Kenya.After studying biology in the USA,she returned to her home country to begin a career in environmental activism.Maathai founded the Green Belt Movement,which,by the early 21st century,had already planted some 30 million trees,provided jobs,and secured firewood for rural communities.In 2004,she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize while continuing to fight for the planet.
David Brower (1912—2000)
David Brower was associated with wilderness preservation.He became the Sierra Club’s first executive director in 1952,and then,over the next 17 years,the club membership grew from 2,000 to 77,000.It won many environmental victories under his leadership.After leaving the club,he went on to found other environmental groups like Friends of the Earth,and the Earth Island Institute.

In 2018,China became the largest producer and consumer of the fruit in the world.Wu Mingzhu,in her nineties,a native of Wuhan,is the unknown hero who has helped make this possible.
“About 80 percent of the watermelons and sweet melons served at people’s dining tables every day are the result of painful efforts made by Wu and her team over more than 60 years,”said Zhang Wenjun,a colleague of Wu’s.
Helping others had long been a dream of hers.And she thought the most beautiful thing in life is that everything you create can serve the people,so she made efforts to grow quality melons,
which began paying off in 1973.She is one of the 8,000 agricultural scientists who have come to Hainan annually from across the country over the past 60 years and have cultivated (培育) more than 20,000 of China’s new seed varieties through offseason breeding.
Using innovative measures such as radiation mutation breeding,double haploid breeding and distant hybridisation breeding,Wu and her team developed new germ-plasm (种质) resources,from which they cultivated more than 30 watermelon and muskmelon (甜瓜) varieties with better adaptability and stronger disease resistance,the former director of the Xinjiang Muskmelon Research Centre said.
The new melon varieties have been promoted to more than 1.86 million hectares of fields from north to south.Some of these varieties have been promoted overseas,as far as California.
Wu’s work has left her a number of honours.The “queen of melons” became an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 1999 and an honorary citizen of Sanya in 2004.
【语篇导读】 本文是新闻报道。文章报道了我国“西瓜之母”吴明珠院士的个人经历及其贡献。

[C]Because she wanted to create something that could serve people.
[D]Because the Chinese government asked her to grow high quality melons.
(　　)25.What can we learn about from Paragraph 4
[A]Wu and her team cultivated melon varieties that could resist every disease.
[B]Wu and her team cultivated high quality melons from the new germ-plasm resources.
[C]Wu and her team cultivated 30 watermelon varieties from radiation mutation breeding.
[D]Wu and her team cultivated melon varieties that could adapt to any circumstance.

In 2015,Professor Wang Zhenyi,who specialises in treating Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) (急性早幼粒细胞白血病),received a letter of thanks from America.The writer of the letter was Mrs Bernadette Giandomenico,who once suffered from APL,but was cured with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) (全反式维甲酸),a treatment developed by Wang and his medical team.
Working at Ruijin Hospital,Wang has been devoting his life to the treatment of leukemia.He received the country’s highest honour in science and technology in 2010.
Born in 1924 in Shanghai,Wang was inspired by a family friend’s experience of pursuing a career in medicine as a child.His grandmother’s death caused by typhoid (伤寒) further strengthened his resolve to fight against diseases and rescue patients.With outstanding academic performance,Wang became a doctor at Guangci Hospital,today’s Ruijin Hospital.
In 1978,a research paper from Israeli experts gave Wang inspiration to study how leukemia cells could become normal.His research didn’t progress as expected,though.In 1983,another research paper shed light on his study.As the paper suggested,after being treated with 13-cis-Retinoic Acid,white blood cells in patients with APL could become normal.Considering the difficulties and high cost of producing a drug made from 13-cis-Retinoic Acid,Wang’s team decided to replace that ingredient with ATRA,and they finally verified its positive effect after several months’ experiments.In 1986,the drug was first adopted in treating a five-year-old patient.It turned out to be successful.After eight years of research,Wang’s team eventually made the first breakthrough in the battle against APL.
To make sure every APL patient could afford the medicine,Wang has not patented his research result to date.“One cannot be a real doctor if one does not have expertise in medicine,” Wang said in an interview.“However,without a kind heart,a skilled doctor may cause harm to patients.”
Having worked in the field of hematopathology (血液病理学) for over 70 years,Wang has been well recognised for his remarkable contribution to saving lives.
【语篇导读】 本文是记叙文。文章主要介绍了获得国家最高科学技术奖的王振义教授的个人经历以及他对白血病的研究过程。
(　　)28.Why did Mrs Giandomenico write a letter to Professor Wang
[A]To ask for medical suggestions.
[B]To share her battle against APL.
[C]To express her appreciation.
[D]To update information about her treatment.
(　　)29.What increased Wang’s determination to become a doctor
[A]His grandmother’s death.
[B]His great academic achievement.
[C]The inspiration from foreign experts.
[D]The experience of a family friend.
(　　)30.What does the underlined word “verified” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
[A]Denied. [B]Assessed.
[C]Predicted. [D]Confirmed.
(　　)31.What is the best title for the text
[A]The Application of ATRA
[B]A Doctor with the Human Touch
[C]The Chinese Cure for APL Patients
[D]A Lifesaver with Remarkable Honour

Invented in the Tang Dynasty and widely adopted after the Song Dynasty in Fujian,the watertight-bulkhead (水密舱壁) technology permits the construction of ocean-going ships with watertight compartments (隔层).If one or two cabins are accidentally damaged at sea,water will not flood the other cabins and the ships will remain afloat.
The experience and working methods of watertight-bulkhead technology are transmitted orally from masters to apprentices.However,the need for Chinese junks (中国式帆船) has decreased sharply as wooden ships have been replaced by steel-hulled ships,and today only several masters can claim full command of this technology.Associated building costs have also increased owing to a shortage in raw materials.Therefore,the inheritance (继承) of this heritage is decreasing,and inheritors are forced to seek alternative employment.
Zhang Guohui,an inheritor of the watertight-bulkhead techniques used to make Chinese junks,has been making ships for more than six ing from a fishing family in East China’s Fujian Province,Zhang started to make a living at the age of 16 fishing on the open seas,which is where he developed a keen interest in constructing boats.As a fast learner,Zhang was later sent to shipyards in the cities of Quanzhou and Xiamen in Fujian Province,where he received training and became a master of traditional Chinese junks and gained fame because of his extremely skilled craftsmanship in the construction of these junks.
For fear that the traditional skills would die someday,Zhang started to restore old ships and make model junks for the museum with his 20 years of shipbuilding skills.“The restored ancient ships are the historical witnesses of Quanzhou as a maritime centre of the East and Southeast Asia trade network,” said Zhang,adding that he finds the work meaningful since younger generations can learn from exhibitions of ancient ships that their ancestors had advanced shipbuilding technology at an early stage of development.“As long as I’m alive,I’ll keep passing on the heritage,” he said.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了发明于唐代,宋代以后在福建被广泛采用的水密舱壁技术以及一位致力于推广与宣传该项技术的传承人——张国辉老人。
(　　)32.What function is expected of the watertight-bulkhead technology
[A]To prevent ships from sinking.
[B]To reduce the weight of ships.
[C]To allow ships to sail faster.
[D]To help ships resist strong winds.
(　　)33.Which of the following is the purpose of Paragraph 2
[A]To prove the significance of steel-hulled ships.
[B]To stress the complex process of building wooden ships.
[C]To present people’s efforts to pass down cultural heritages.
[D]To show difficulties of inheriting the watertight-bulkhead technology.
(　　)34.What can we learn about Zhang Guohui from Paragraph 3
[A]He supports his family by fishing.
[B]He was born with a talent for shipbuilding.
[C]He has devoted himself to constructing boats.
[D]He has won many awards for restoring ancient ships.
(　　)35.What does Zhang Guohui convey in his words in the last paragraph
[A]Traditional culture should be innovated with the times.
[B]The ancient ship trade originated from Quanzhou in China.
[C]It is necessary for modern students to learn shipbuilding skills.
[D]It is worth passing on traditional skills from generation to generation.

After a long day,Zhang Tian finally got back to his small room,feeling tired.He had started working at seven in the morning,and it was eight in the evening now.He had to prepare his lessons for the following day.This is a typical day for Zhang Tian.Coming to Guizhou Province to teach has been quite an experience for him.
Zhang Tian graduated from university and got a teacher’s certificate last year.His parents,like most,hoped he would go to a big city to find a teaching job.Likewise,his friends all left his hometown for work in Shanghai or Beijing.Zhang Tian felt differently,however.He wanted to start a new lifestyle.He had met wonderful teachers from small villages during his early school years and he was inspired by them to go and teach where he was needed the most. For that reason he applied for and became a volunteer teacher in a village school.Bringing with him lots of books,
clothes,and two pairs of trainers,Zhang Tian travelled to the village with an eager heart.He imagined all sorts of exciting things about living independently and teaching in a village.
　　However,not everything lived up to Zhang Tian’s hopes.The school had just three teachers and Zhang Tian was the only English teacher.The other two local teachers were responsible for maths and Chinese.The school was much smaller than he had expected,with only three classrooms.In front of the classrooms,there was a playground which got dusty on windy days and muddy on rainy days.Living in the village was also more challenging than he had thought.The power and water supplies were unstable,so he could only shower every three or four days,and he had to learn how to cook.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
The thought of leaving once flashed through his mind.
Paragraph 2:
Zhang Tian’s first service year is almost over.

There’s no doubt that Britain is a nation of hat wearers.Hats have long been associated with ceremonies and practices.Even the history of the country can be told through hats.So,today’s topic in the class is hats.Dating back to the Middle Ages,the flat cap became a symbol of working class culture.The Edwardian Era was the golden age of hats.At that time the decorations became even more delicate,ranging from flowers,ribbons to bowknots.The porkpie hat,starting in the middle of the 19th century,was the choice for many well-dressed Victorian citizens.
Decades later it gradually became a key feature of London street style.By the 1960s,though,hats were not that important,because of the rise of private cars.It was the Royal Wedding held in 2011 that contributed to the return of hat wearing.For example,Stockport Hat Works Museum—the only museum in the country featured in hats and hat making—is more popular than ever,with a distinct increase on its visitors.What marks Britain out on the world stage is the large number of hats of different shapes and colours.

A
Four Environmentalists You Should Know
Throughout history,environmentalists have had a great influence not only on natural spaces,
but also on our individual lives.Here are four influential ones.
John Muir (1838—1914)
His lifelong love for hiking began when he hiked to the Gulf of Mexico in 1867.Muir spent much of his adult life wandering in—and fighting to preserve—the wilderness of the West,
especially California.His tireless efforts led to the creation of Yosemite National Park,Sequoia National Park,and millions of other conservation areas.
Rachel Carson (1907—1964)
Born in rural Pennsylvania,Rachel Carson went on to study biology at Johns Hopkins University.After working for the USA Fish and Wildlife Service,Carson published The Sea Around Us and other books.Her most famous work,however,was 1962’s Silent Spring,in which she described the harmful environmental effects of pesticides(杀虫剂).After Carson’s observations were proved correct,pesticides like DDT were banned.
Wangari Maathai (1940—2011)
Wangari Maathai was from Kenya.After studying biology in the USA,she returned to her home country to begin a career in environmental activism.Maathai founded the Green Belt Movement,which,by the early 21st century,had already planted some 30 million trees,provided jobs,and secured firewood for rural communities.In 2004,she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize while continuing to fight for the planet.
David Brower (1912—2000)
David Brower was associated with wilderness preservation.He became the Sierra Club’s first executive director in 1952,and then,over the next 17 years,the club membership grew from 2,000 to 77,000.It won many environmental victories under his leadership.After leaving the club,he went on to found other environmental groups like Friends of the Earth,and the Earth Island Institute.

In 2018,China became the largest producer and consumer of the fruit in the world.Wu Mingzhu,in her nineties,a native of Wuhan,is the unknown hero who has helped make this possible.
“About 80 percent of the watermelons and sweet melons served at people’s dining tables every day are the result of painful efforts made by Wu and her team over more than 60 years,”said Zhang Wenjun,a colleague of Wu’s.
Helping others had long been a dream of hers.And she thought the most beautiful thing in life is that everything you create can serve the people,so she made efforts to grow quality melons,
which began paying off in 1973.She is one of the 8,000 agricultural scientists who have come to Hainan annually from across the country over the past 60 years and have cultivated (培育) more than 20,000 of China’s new seed varieties through offseason breeding.
Using innovative measures such as radiation mutation breeding,double haploid breeding and distant hybridisation breeding,Wu and her team developed new germ-plasm (种质) resources,from which they cultivated more than 30 watermelon and muskmelon (甜瓜) varieties with better adaptability and stronger disease resistance,the former director of the Xinjiang Muskmelon Research Centre said.
The new melon varieties have been promoted to more than 1.86 million hectares of fields from north to south.Some of these varieties have been promoted overseas,as far as California.
Wu’s work has left her a number of honours.The “queen of melons” became an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 1999 and an honorary citizen of Sanya in 2004.

In 2015,Professor Wang Zhenyi,who specialises in treating Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) (急性早幼粒细胞白血病),received a letter of thanks from America.The writer of the letter was Mrs Bernadette Giandomenico,who once suffered from APL,but was cured with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) (全反式维甲酸),a treatment developed by Wang and his medical team.
Working at Ruijin Hospital,Wang has been devoting his life to the treatment of leukemia.He received the country’s highest honour in science and technology in 2010.
Born in 1924 in Shanghai,Wang was inspired by a family friend’s experience of pursuing a career in medicine as a child.His grandmother’s death caused by typhoid (伤寒) further strengthened his resolve to fight against diseases and rescue patients.With outstanding academic performance,Wang became a doctor at Guangci Hospital,today’s Ruijin Hospital.
In 1978,a research paper from Israeli experts gave Wang inspiration to study how leukemia cells could become normal.His research didn’t progress as expected,though.In 1983,another research paper shed light on his study.As the paper suggested,after being treated with 13-cis-Retinoic Acid,white blood cells in patients with APL could become normal.Considering the difficulties and high cost of producing a drug made from 13-cis-Retinoic Acid,Wang’s team decided to replace that ingredient with ATRA,and they finally verified its positive effect after several months’ experiments.In 1986,the drug was first adopted in treating a five-year-old patient.It turned out to be successful.After eight years of research,Wang’s team eventually made the first breakthrough in the battle against APL.
To make sure every APL patient could afford the medicine,Wang has not patented his research result to date.“One cannot be a real doctor if one does not have expertise in medicine,” Wang said in an interview.“However,without a kind heart,a skilled doctor may cause harm to patients.”
Having worked in the field of hematopathology (血液病理学) for over 70 years,Wang has been well recognised for his remarkable contribution to saving lives.

Invented in the Tang Dynasty and widely adopted after the Song Dynasty in Fujian,the watertight-bulkhead (水密舱壁) technology permits the construction of ocean-going ships with watertight compartments (隔层).If one or two cabins are accidentally damaged at sea,water will not flood the other cabins and the ships will remain afloat.
The experience and working methods of watertight-bulkhead technology are transmitted orally from masters to apprentices.However,the need for Chinese junks (中国式帆船) has decreased sharply as wooden ships have been replaced by steel-hulled ships,and today only several masters can claim full command of this technology.Associated building costs have also increased owing to a shortage in raw materials.Therefore,the inheritance (继承) of this heritage is decreasing,and inheritors are forced to seek alternative employment.
Zhang Guohui,an inheritor of the watertight-bulkhead techniques used to make Chinese junks,has been making ships for more than six ing from a fishing family in East China’s Fujian Province,Zhang started to make a living at the age of 16 fishing on the open seas,which is where he developed a keen interest in constructing boats.As a fast learner,Zhang was later sent to shipyards in the cities of Quanzhou and Xiamen in Fujian Province,where he received training and became a master of traditional Chinese junks and gained fame because of his extremely skilled craftsmanship in the construction of these junks.
For fear that the traditional skills would die someday,Zhang started to restore old ships and make model junks for the museum with his 20 years of shipbuilding skills.“The restored ancient ships are the historical witnesses of Quanzhou as a maritime centre of the East and Southeast Asia trade network,” said Zhang,adding that he finds the work meaningful since younger generations can learn from exhibitions of ancient ships that their ancestors had advanced shipbuilding technology at an early stage of development.“As long as I’m alive,I’ll keep passing on the heritage,” he said.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了发明于唐代,宋代以后在福建被广泛采用的水密舱壁技术以及一位致力于推广与宣传该项技术的传承人——张国辉老人。
(　　)32.What function is expected of the watertight-bulkhead technology
[A]To prevent ships from sinking.
[B]To reduce the weight of ships.
[C]To allow ships to sail faster.
[D]To help ships resist strong winds.
【答案】 A

　　One possible version:
Chi Wang,a craftsman,is the youngest inheritor of Yangliuqing woodblock printing in Tianjin.He has devoted himself to engraving wood since he became an apprentice of woodblock printing in 2014.
Engraving wood is never an easy job,which may take him one or even two months to complete.The lines of children’s arms and legs and the details on their faces,including eyes,are challenging parts to carve,as these thin lines should be smooth and graceful enough to show the figures’ vivid and artistic expressions.
“My teacher often reminds me to maintain a peaceful mind,without which there would be no steadiness or accuracy in craftsmanship,” Chi says.

Zhang Tian graduated from university and got a teacher’s certificate last year.His parents,like most,hoped he would go to a big city to find a teaching job.Likewise,his friends all left his hometown for work in Shanghai or Beijing.Zhang Tian felt differently,however.He wanted to start a new lifestyle.He had met wonderful teachers from small villages during his early school years and he was inspired by them to go and teach where he was needed the most. For that reason he applied for and became a volunteer teacher in a village school.Bringing with him lots of books,
clothes,and two pairs of trainers,Zhang Tian travelled to the village with an eager heart.He imagined all sorts of exciting things about living independently and teaching in a village.
　　However,not everything lived up to Zhang Tian’s hopes.The school had just three teachers and Zhang Tian was the only English teacher.The other two local teachers were responsible for maths and Chinese.The school was much smaller than he had expected,with only three classrooms.In front of the classrooms,there was a playground which got dusty on windy days and muddy on rainy days.Living in the village was also more challenging than he had thought.The power and water supplies were unstable,so he could only shower every three or four days,and he had to learn how to cook.

　　One possible version:
　　The thought of leaving once flashed through his mind.If he returned to big cities,he would live comfortably and get highly paid and his parents would be happy. But he gave it up and managed to find ways to deal with the challenges.To make school life colourful for his students,Zhang Tian introduced more interesting subjects such as music,art and geography.It has been a tough year,but he has enjoyed working with the children.What made him most satisfied was that his students were able to read,speak and write in English and became confident in learning the language. The villagers treated him as one of them.
Zhang Tian’s first service year is almost over.What should he do next He can choose to return to big cities where he can achieve his value.However,looking at the eyes of the children and thinking of the hard life of the villagers,he decides to do something more.He is content that he can make a difference to their life.He has been thinking of contacting charity organisations for help.After a long consideration,he chooses to stay for another year.At least now,he wants to stay.
点津:中的“If he returned to big cities”为if引导的条件状语从句,returned、live和get是动作描写,“his parents would be happy”是心理描写,都能表示张天抉择之艰难;
中的“What made him most satisfied”为主语从句,“that his students were able to read...language”为 that引导的表语从句,read、speak和write是动作描写,became confident in learning the language 是心理描写;
为where引导的定语从句,修饰先行词big cities;
为现在分词短语作状语。
