阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) meets each year to choose the latest additions to its World Heritage List. Let's have a quick look at some stunning sites.
Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City (China)
The ruins of Liangzhu stand for an early regional state with a collective belief system based on rice growing, dating from about 3,300 to 2,300 B.
E. The ruins are an outstanding example of early urban civilization.
They include a water conservation system and a social hierarchy (等级制度) expressed in different kinds of burials.
Jaipur City (India)
The walled city of Jaipur, founded in 1727, is recognizable for its large public squares, palaces, markets and pink buildings. The city is an exceptional example of indigenous city planning and construction in South Asia. Designed to be a commercial capital, it has maintained its local commercial, artisanal and cooperative traditions to this day.
The 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright (United States)
UNESCO also recognized the work of the famous American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The organization added eight of his buildings to its World Heritage List, including the Guggenheim Museum in New York City, Hollyhock House in Los Angeles, California and Fallingwater in Mill Run, Pennsylvania. Wright's work had a strong influence on the development of modern architecture in Europe. The Guggenheim Museum is an architectural icon that has inspired countless visitors and is widely regarded as Wright's best work.
21. What do we know about the ruins of Liangzhu
A. It is a good example of early urbanization.
B. It is an ancient burying ground for the rich.
C. It is still recognizable for its pink buildings.
D. It stands for the earliest water conservation system.
22. When was Jaipur City first built

C. In the 18th century. D. In the 20th century.
23. Which of the following is widely seen as Wright's best work
A. Fallingwater. B. Hollyhock House.
C. The Pink Building. D. The Guggenheim Museum.
B
Over the last several years, an increasing number of female African elephants at Mozambique's Gorongosa National Park have been born without their tusks. While that may appear to be just a coincidence, an elephant behaviour expert has another theory. The expert thinks we may be witnessing unnatural evolution of the species due to the constant hunting of elephants for valuable ivory.
He says before the country's 15-year-long civil war, the park was home to about 4,000 elephants. However, by the time the conflict ended in 1992, about 90 per cent of them had been killed for ivory to finance weapons and for meat to feed the soldiers. Of the survivors, over 50 per cent of adult females had no tusks. Therefore, it is not surprising that the park's tuskless elephant population has grown substantially.
This is not the first time researchers have observed a drastic change in the population of elephants. It was reported that at the Ruaha National Park, an area which was heavily hunted in the 1970s and 1980s, about 35 per cent of elephants 25 years old or older and 13 per cent of those younger than 25 were without tusks. A 2008 study found that the number of tuskless females at Zambia's South Luangwa National Park and Lupande Game Management Area went from 10.5 per cent in 1969 to about 40 per cent in 1989, largely due to illegal hunting for ivory.
The recent ban on ivory in both America and China should help get rid of, or at least reduce, elephant hunting. However, scientists are not sure how long it will take for elephants with a higher rate of tuskless females to change the trend.
24. What is the probable cause of the phenomenon mentioned in Paragraph 1 according to the expert
A. Illegal hunting. B. Constant farming.
C. A pure coincidence. D. Natural evolution.
25. Why did people kill so many elephants during the civil war in Mozambique
A. To get funds by selling ivory. B. To maintain the ecological balance.
C. To provide food for the homeless. D. To make ivory products.
26. What does the underlined phrase "the trend" in the last paragraph refer to
A. Elephants facing greater danger. B. Elephants growing more slowly.
C. Fewer female elephants staying alive. D. More female elephants being tuskless.
27. What is scientists' attitude towards the future of tuskless elephants
A. Positive. B. Unsure. C. Negative. D. Indifferent.
C
When we see a person in deep sorrow, our immediate reaction is to lend a hand. Not to do so would be a moral failure. But what if we see an animal in deep sorrow, does the same logic apply
This question was raised following the "rescue" of a group of penguins from an icy gully (深沟) in Antarctica. It was filmed for the wildlife series Dynasties.
The film crew was alarmed when they saw that a group of penguins had fallen into a gully and been trapped with their young. The crew dug a shallow ramp (人造斜坡) so that a few of the penguins could save themselves.
The case has taken the international media by storm. Viewers watching this episode let out a sigh of relief on social media. "I'm so glad. I understand not getting directly involved, but a helping hand isn't intervening, right " said a viewer.
However, others think that human intervention is unnatural. It's an unwritten rule among documentary filmmakers that they are there to observe, not to intervene. For example, in another episode of Dynasties, a chimpanzee (黑猩猩) was left to die after he was filmed being beaten up by other chimpanzees.
"Tragedy is a part of life. You can't have sunshine throughout your life. To have done anything else would only make matters worse and distort (歪曲) the truth," said the show's creator.
In this case, however, the executive producer of the series said that this was a one-off situation. "There were no animals going to suffer by intervening. It wasn't dangerous. You weren't touching the animals and it was just felt by doing this... they had the opportunity to not have to keep slipping down the slope," he said.
Such cases are familiar to a wildlife photographer. "I have a practical view when it comes to the natural rhythm of life," he said. "If it's ever a predator situation, no matter how gut-wrenching, you stay out of the way. Even when you are watching a male polar bear eat a cub." But he said that he would help animals if he saw no real gain or disruption to the ecosystem.
Indeed, there will always be two sides of the same coin, and human beings will forever be conflicted in such circumstances. "There's no rule book in those situations. You can only respond to the facts that are right there in front of you," said the show's director.
28. What has led to a heated media discussion
A. People's various remarks on penguins. B. The rescue of penguins from a gully.
C. Some penguins' sufferings in a gully. D. Ways of filming the series Dynasties.
29. What does the underlined word "gut-wrenching" in Paragraph 8 probably mean
A. Highly embarrassing. B. Slightly worrying.
C. Very comforting. D. Extremely upsetting.
30. What can be inferred about human intervention from the text
A. It is a topic rarely mentioned by the international media.
B. It once resulted in a chimpanzee's death directly.
C. It is usually not expected in making documentary films.
D. It surely breaks the natural rhythm of life.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Reasons for the necessity of lending a hand to animals
B. Suggestions on how to protect animals from danger
C. Effects of human interference in the animal kingdom
D. Opinions on whether to help animals in trouble or not
D
In a world with limited land, water and other natural resources, the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise. Actually, the past decades have seen more and more forests disappearing and the globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realise that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable ways. That means growth with low carbon or the development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep Earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources.
Today, sustainable development is a proper trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the global market for low-carbon energy will become much bigger over the next decades. China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy revolution. It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil, which is produced without cutting down valuable rain forests. In recent years, the markets for sustainable products have grown dramatically.
Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions and targets for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally, governments can avoid the huge expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from the traditional model to a sustainable one.
The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of growing population within the limits of this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances to sustainable product industries.
32. What can we infer from Paragraph 2
A. China lacks wind and solar energy.
B. China is the leader of the low-carbon market.
C. High-speed trains are a low-carbon form of transport.
D. Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests.
33. What can governments do to fully develop the low-carbon markets
A. Cut public expenses. B. Forbid carbon emissions.
C. Develop public resources. D. Encourage energy conservation.
34. What do businesses have many chances to do according to the last paragraph
A. Make full use of natural resources. B. Explore new natural resources.
C. Develop sustainable products. D. Cope with financial challenges.
35. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To advocate sustainable development. B. To compare two business models.
C. To predict a change of the global market. D. To introduce a new business model.

In the near future, absolute water scarcity will be a daily reality for billions of people. In a world where vital resources are increasingly scarce, nations cannot afford to flush them down the drain.
36 After we use water in our homes and businesses, it is washed away, and takes many valuable resources with it.
Waste water is rich in carbon and nutrients. 37 A number of large cities have already built waste water treatment plants. The plants can effectively recover nutrients and bioenergy, and produce "new water" that can be reused. But much waste water still currently flows into natural ecosystems.
38 This is still better than the situation in smaller cities. There, you frequently find badly adapted systems that lack the necessary staff to perform the needed maintenance and operation.
Imagine that outside one of these small cities lies a lovely piece of land: on the surface it is pleasing and provides habitats for local wildlife. Beneath the surface is a wetland that treats waste water and produces energy. The energy saves families from having to use firewood collected in the wild for cooking purposes. What's more, the outflow of this wetland can be used safely in crop irrigation. This is not a dream project. 39 A team of scientists have been looking into the potential of constructed wetland environments. Having analysed about 800 examples of biomass (生物量) in more than 20 countries, they found that, depending on climate and the type of plant used in the construction of this type of wetland, up to 450,000 square metres of land could be irrigated with waste water on a daily basis. 40
A. But that is exactly what we do.
B. This can provide easy access to clean water.
C. There is no longer any good reason to waste any type of water.
D. A constructed wetland environment is already in practice on a small scale.
E. This would reduce the need for fresh water for irrigation and energy for pumping.
F. If collected and treated properly, it could provide "new water", fertiliser, and energy.
G. Although waste water systems in large cities are effective, the whole procedure usually costs much.

第二节 (满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
A class pet can be an invaluable experience for primary school children. The pet can teach responsibility, build a connection to the classroom, serve as a motivator, and be something for the children to love. If the teacher is willing to take on the added responsibility of caring for an animal in addition to all of the children in the classroom, a class pet can be a wonderful addition to a class.
Many factors need to be taken into consideration when choosing a class pet. It cannot be too big, as classrooms generally have limited space. Costs should also be considered since the teacher will likely have to pay for the pet, its food and its habitat. It must also be somewhat hardy (强壮的). Each particular type of animal has its advantages and disadvantages, and the teacher must weigh these and make a decision about which one is right for the class.
Birds are physically more delicate than many other animals. They will not survive in a draught and need a somewhat regulated temperature in their environment. Young children are not likely to have the skill to handle a bird without harming it, making it a poor choice of a class pet.
Some reptiles (爬行动物) are beautiful to look at but are delicate or poisonous and shouldn't be handled by children. Others are more hardy but require expensive habitats. Most snakes eat rats and mice, which may be a frightening thing for young children to witness.
A hardy fish is a good low-cost option for a class pet. They are obviously not cuddly (令人想拥抱的) or able to be caught by children. Besides, they are inexpensive, have a relatively long lifespan, and can be kept in a simple fishbowl.

One possible version:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I have learnt from a newspaper that many animals are in danger of dying out, so I’m writing to ask you to take immediate measures to protect them.
There are many reasons why animals are endangered. People kill animals not only for their fur to make fur coats, but also for food. In addition, the habitats of many animals are being destroyed, so they have lost their homes.
It’s high time we took immediate measures to save them. I think more reserves should be set up so that they can live freely there. Besides, laws should be passed to prevent people from killing them.
Please give the endangered animals a hand. They need help to survive.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
