If you were to throw, say, a banana skin out of your car while driving along the motorway, that would be a completely harmless action, due to the fact that it's part of a fruit—right? Actually, no. A banana skin can take up to two years to be naturally processed, and a third of drivers confess they litter banana skins while driving. An orange skin and a cigarette butt (烟蒂) have similar biodegrading (生物降解) time to that of a banana skin, but tin cans last up to 100 years, and plastic bottles last forever, as do glass bottles.

Despite the fact that longer-lasting materials will serve to damage the environment and its animals for longer, we can't measure the danger of a certain type of rubbish by its lifetime. For example, despite having a fairly short length of biodegrading time, more than 120 tons of cigarette-related litter is thrown in the UK every day.

It's not a cheap habit either: to keep our streets clean annually costs UK taxpayers ￡500 million, and when you include our green spaces, that goes up to ￡1 billion. So, it's not surprising that if caught throwing rubbish, you could face a ￡20,000 fine or even prison time and, if you threw something dangerous, the court could give you five years to serve. Regardless of how serious these punishments might seem, however, among the reported cases only 2,000 were found guilty out of 825,000, so we still have some way to go in making sure people obey the rules.

1.What does the underlined word “confess” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A.Defend. B.Admit.

C.Determine. D.Assume.

2.Which of the following has the shortest biodegrading time?

A.Glass bottles. B.Tin cans.

C.Plastic bottles. D.Banana skins.

3.What can be inferred from the passage?

A.The punishment for throwing rubbish illegally is rather light.

B.The harm of rubbish can be measured by its lifetime.

C.Cigarette-related litter and fruit skins can be ignored for their fairly short lifetime.

D.A small number of people felt guilty of illegally littering.

4.What is the purpose of the passage?

A.To call for people not to litter illegally.

B.To inform readers of different biodegrading terms.

C.To encourage people to use fewer plastic bags.

D.To attach significance to good behavior.

China is showing the world its great resolve in the global climate campaign with concrete and self-motivated efforts as well as serious commitment.

At the opening ceremony of the Paris climate summit, Chinese President Xi Jinping restated China's plan made in June to cut its carbon emissions per unit of GDP by 60—65 per cent from 2005 levels by 2030, and increase non-fossil fuel sources in primary energy consumption to about 20 per cent.

With a large population, China is facing increasing resource limits, severe environmental pollution and a worsening ecosystem, and its citizens are also becoming increasingly aware of environmental problems. Suffering environmental problems and considering the efforts important in order to transform its economic growth pattern, the country will have much at risk if climate change is left unattended.

Actually, climate change efforts have already been included in China's medium-and long-term program of economic and social development, and ecological efforts are the clear characteristics in China's 13th Five-Year Plan(2016—2020).

Although it is and will be a developing country for a long time, China has been actively involved in the global campaign against climate change, now topping the world in terms of energy conservation and the use of new and renewable energy.

However, China's development rights need to be respected. It is unfair to overstress China's status as one of the world's largest greenhouse gas emitters and regard it as the major part of responsibilities in the global fight against climate change.

It is worthy of notice that China's emissions of greenhouse gases per person are far lower than those of developed countries, especially the United States, although rapid economic expansion and its population base have made it one of the biggest producers of the greenhouse gas.

To show its great resolve, China also announced the establishment of an independent South-South cooperation in September, investing RMB 20 billion to help developing countries affected by global warming.

While China is eagerly accomplishing its policy commitment, developed countries should stop questioning China's commitment to fighting climate change and pointing fingers, and start shouldering their due responsibilities instead.

5.China is self-motivated to fight against climate change in order to 　　　. 

A.top the world

B.transform its economic growth pattern

C.solve its population problem

D.respond to pressure from developed countries

6.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 7 refers to 　　　. 

A.China B.the United States

C.economic expansion D.the population base

7.It can be inferred from the text that 　　　. 

A.China will completely use non-fossil fuels by 2030

B.China will carry out its plan by stopping its development

C.Chinese emit more greenhouse gases than Americans on average

D.some developed countries are not taking on their responsibilities

8.Which of the following is a sign of China's self-motivated fight against climate change?

A.Expanding its economy.

B.Using non-renewable energy.

C.Making the fight against climate change part of China's 13th Five-Year Plan.

D.Donating money to developing countries.

Ⅱ.七选五

You may not be very familiar with “ecotourism”.　1　But in an age of growing environmental awareness, it is not too difficult for us to imagine and understand this new form of holiday. 

Ecotourism which is considered as a kind of responsible tourism, is typically defined as travel to places where special and unusual plants, animals and cultural heritages(遗产)are the main attractions. 　2　Therefore, programs concerning the protection of some natural and cultural spots also form a part of ecotourism. 

Ecotourism is developing at a great speed, according to a recent report by the World Tourism Organization. Ecotourism in recent years has enjoyed an annual growth of about 5% worldwide.　3　They include bird watching, hiking, diving, photography and taking part in various kinds of local cultural events. 

　4　However, it looks like some smaller towns and country areas may well become the new destinations for people to visit tomorrow because they are rich in ecological, cultural and historical resources. 

Ecotourism has been gaining increasing recognition and popularity mainly for the relaxing, natural and vivid experience it offers to tourists. People are attracted to nature and long to be close to it. However, conflict between nature and human beings is unavoidable.　5　  

A.The definition of ecotourism is beyond words.

B.It takes ecology and culture into consideration.

C.It is a new term in today's tourism industry.

D.More than 80 activities have been listed for ecotourism.

E.People can have great fun enjoying nature through ecotourism.

F.Big cities are still the major places that attract tourists in our society today.

G.How to protect natural resources while taking advantage is of great importance.

Ⅰ.A

◎语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要通过事例和数据呼吁人们遵守扔垃圾的规则,不要乱扔垃圾。

1.B　词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的they litter banana skins while driving可知,这是司机在陈述过往经历,承认自己在开车时扔香蕉皮的行为。所以confess应表示“承认”,故选B。

2.D　细节理解题。根据第一段中的A banana skin can take up to two years to be naturally processed...but tin cans last up to 100 years, and plastic bottles last forever, as do glass bottles.可知,香蕉皮所需的生物降解时间最短,故选D。

3.D　推理判断题。根据第三段中的Regardless of how serious these punishments might seem, however, among the reported cases only 2,000 were found guilty out of 825,000可知,在乱扔垃圾的人中,只有一小部分感到愧疚,故选D。

4.A　推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章的目的是呼吁人们遵守扔垃圾的规则,不要乱扔垃圾,故选A。

【高频词汇】　1.harmless adj.无害的　2.up to多达　3.lifetime n.存在期,寿命,使用期限　4.regardless of不管,无视　5.make sure确保

长难句分析

原句　So, it's not surprising that if caught throwing rubbish, you could face a ￡20,000 fine or even prison time and, if you threw something dangerous, the court could give you five years to serve.

分析　这是一个主从复合句。So, it's not surprising是主句,it是形式主语; that if caught throwing rubbish...是that引导的主语从句,这个主语从句又是由and连接的并列复合句;if caught throwing rubbish是条件状语从句的省略,省略了you were;if you threw something dangerous是第二分句中的条件状语从句。

译文　所以,如果你被抓到扔垃圾,你可能会面临2万英镑的罚款甚至监禁,如果你扔危险的东西,法庭可能会判你5年监禁,这一点都不奇怪。

B

◎语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国政府为了应对环境变化而做出的一些努力。中国将采取一系列的措施来减少温室气体的排放。

5.B　细节理解题。根据第三段末句Suffering environmental problems and considering the efforts important in order to transform its economic growth pattern,the country will have much at risk if climate change is left unattended.可知,中国决定应对气候变化是为了改变自己的经济增长模式。故选B。

6.A　推理判断题。根据上文中的China's emissions of greenhouse gases以及rapid economic expansion and its population base可知,it指代的是中国。故选A。

7.D　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的start shouldering their due responsibilities instead可知,有些发达国家没有负起自己的责任。故选D。

8.C　推理判断题。第四段主要介绍的是中国政府为了应对气候变化所采取的措施。根据第四段中的ecological efforts are the clear characteristics in China's 13th Five-Year Plan可知,应对气候变化成了“十三五”规划的一部分。故选C。

【高频词汇】　1.resolve n.决心;坚定的信念 vt.解决(问题或困难) v.决心;决定　2.campaign n.运动　3.concrete adj.具体的　4.commitment n.奉献,投入;承诺　5.characteristic n.特征,特色

6.renewable adj.可再生的;可恢复的　7.expansion n.扩大;发展

8.establishment n.建立

长难句分析

原句　It is worthy of notice that China's emissions of greenhouse gases per person are far lower than those of developed countries, especially the United States, although rapid economic expansion and its population base have made it one of the biggest producers of the greenhouse gas.

分析　本句是主从复合句。It is worthy of notice是主句,It是形式主语, that China's emissions...是that引导的主语从句,其中although rapid economic expansion...of the greenhouse gas是although引导的让步状语从句。

译文　值得注意的是,尽管中国快速的经济发展和它的人口基数使其成为最大的温室气体产生国之一,但中国的人均温室气体排放量远远低于发达国家,特别是美国。

Ⅱ.◎语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。你可能对生态旅游不熟悉,这是旅游界的一个新名词。但是随着人们对环保的重视程度增加,我们想象和理解这种度假方式就不难了。

1.C　根据空格前一句You may not be very familiar with “ecotourism”.可知,由于ecotourism是一个新兴名词,大家对它会比较陌生。因此我们可以通过C项中的名词短语new term跟空前的not be very familiar的一致性来确定这两个句子之间有一定的关联性,因此C项It is a new term in today's tourism industry.符合语境。故选C。

2.B　根据上文Ecotourism which is considered as a kind of responsible tourism, is typically defined as travel to places where special and unusual plants, animals and cultural heritages(遗产) are the main attractions.以及下文Therefore, programs concerning the protection of some natural and cultural spots also form a part of ecotourism.可知本段解释了生态旅游的含义,提到了文化遗产和稀有动植物,由此得知生态旅游考虑到了生态和文化,因此B项It takes ecology and culture into consideration.符合语境。故选B。

3.D　根据空格后一句They include bird watching, hiking, diving, photography and taking part in various kinds of local cultural events.可知,生态旅游包括多种活动,因此D项More than 80 activities have been listed for ecotourism.符合语境。空后句中的They指代D项中的More than 80 activities,故选D。

4.F　根据空格后一句中的However可知前后存在对比,F项中的Big cities与后一句中的some smaller towns and country areas 形成对比,因此F项Big cities are still the major places that attract tourists in our society today.符合语境,故选F。

5.G　根据空格前一句However, conflict between nature and human beings is unavoidable.可知,后面应该说如何在利用自然资源的同时还能保护自然资源至关重要。因此G项How to protect natural resources while taking advantage is of great importance.符合语境, 故选G。

【高频词汇】　1.concerning prep.关于　2.may well很可能

3.recognition n.认可;承认 recognize vt.认可;承认　4.popularity n.受欢迎;普及;流行 popular adj. 受欢迎的　5.long vt.(尤指对看似不会很快发生的事)渴望　long to do sth.渴望做某事
