参考范文：

Dear fellow students,

Do you know the earth is becoming warmer and warmer? It is human activity that has caused this global warming. A low-carbon lifestyle is the key to handling this big problem facing the earth.

To fulfill it, we should do our part in our daily life. First, turn off the taps, the lights and so on when we are not using them. It is a good idea to recycle everything recyclable in our daily life. What’s more, motor vehicles use a lot of energy — so walk or ride a bike if we can. It also makes sense to stick to the habit of setting the temperature of our air conditioners at above 26℃ in summer.

Let’s all take action now! If we can make small changes in our way of life, we can make a big difference to the earth.

（2022·陕西西安·三模）The Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew, in the UK, are home to thousands of fascinating plants, but none are as lonely as the Encephalartos woodii (伍德苏铁), an ancient cycad species and, most likely, the last one of its kind.

It was in 1895 that botanist John Wood noticed this interesting looking palm tree on a steep slope in southern Africa. Spellbound by its multiple trunks and arched palm fronds, Dr. Wood — who made his living collecting rare plants — had some stems removed and sent to London in a box. It ended up in the Palm House at the Royal Botanical Gardens, where it has been waiting for a mate for over a century. Despite numerous efforts to find it a mate, the Encephalartos woodii at Kew remains alone, unable to produce an offspring and reproduce its species. For this reason, many consider it the world’s loneliest plant.

Two hundred million years ago, when dinosaurs still roamed the world, cycads were everywhere. They made up around 20% of plants, acted as shelter for some dinosaur species and as food supply for others. They managed to somehow survive five ice ages, adapted to coexist with new species of plants, but as time passed, their numbers dwindled. Like all other cycads, Encephalartos woodii went from numbering millions of specimens, to thousands, and today, possibly just one, a male.

Some plants have both male and female organs, but not Encephalartos woodii. Without a female specimen to produce the seeds, it can never mate.

The Encephalartos woodii is technically not the last of its kind. It has been cloned several times, and its clones can be found in several botanical gardens around the world. It can even mate with some closely related species, but it can’t produce a true offspring. It just sits there, the last of its ancient species waiting for a female species to be found somewhere on Earth. “Surely this is the loneliest organism in the world,” biologist Richard Fortey once wrote, “growing older, alone, and fated to have no successors. Nobody knows how long it will live.”

13．What can we learn about the Encephalartos woodii?

A．It once was a common being with male and female organs.

B．It has been the last of its species for centuries.

C．Scientists’ efforts to produce any young of it were in vain.

D．It used to play an important role in the survival of dinosaurs.

14．What does the underlined word “dwindled” probably mean in Paragraph 3?

A．Declined. B．Increased. C．Multiplied. D．Rocketed.

15．What’s Richard Fortey’s attitude towards the plant?

A．Favorable. B．Indifferent. C．Sympathetic. D．Skeptical.

16．What is the best title for this text?

A．The last Cycad on Earth B．The World’s Loneliest Plant

C．The Plant that Outlived Dinosaurs D．The Ancient Cycad Found by John Wood
