30、ive in it.But today it has become a thriving (繁荣的) natural habitat and a team of conservationists restoring the famous river have been offered a top environment award for their work.Ncarly 40 miles of the river have been improved in the last five years through almost 400 Environment Agency restorati
31、on projects. As a result, the river is now home to some 125 species of fish, while many others are returning. The river mouth supports shellfisheries and is a nursery ground(育苗场) for bass (鲈鱼) stocks, and the water quality of the Thames has improved.Alastair Driver, the Environment Agencys national
32、conservation manager, said that in the last 150 years, the Thames had been polluted seriously and that it had taken thousands of people decades to restore it to its current condition. “Strict regulations for polluting industries and our work with farmers, businesses and water companies to reduce pol
33、lution and improve water quality have helped to make the Thames a living river once again.” But he warned that the rivers recovery was still “fragile”, since it was under the pressure from a growing population and climate change. He said advanced projects and cooperation with various people and orga
34、nizations aim at dealing with the problems the Thames faces and ensuring(确保) it still a famous river for many centuries to come.Actor, David Suchet, a skillful boater and chairman of the River Thames Alliance, said, “I am fortunate in my life to have traveled widely and enjoyed many other rivers wor
35、ldwide. But the River Thames is priceless and it is one of the most glittering jewels in the crown of our English heritage.”Boris Johnson, Mayor of London, said, “The Thames is one of our most precious resources, so I am excited to see that efforts to improve and preserve its good health are being p
36、raised on the world stage.”The 220,000 prize, awarded at the International Rive Symposium in Australia, will go to the Thames Rivers Restoration Trust.56Which one of the following statements is NOT true?AThe River Thames h as become a nursery ground now.BThe River Thames has been a well-known river

40、her naturalists have praised the benefits of nature to your state of mind in their works, but there are some researches showing how nature makes you smarter. A study has found that exposure to the great outdoors improves cognitive(认知的) function. Experts have called this attention restoration therapy
41、(注意力修复治疗).In the study, researchers from the University of Michigan asked a group of volunteers to complete a take designed to challenge memory and attention. The volunteers then took a walk in either a park or in downtown Ann Arbor. After the walk, volunteers returned to the lab and were retested o
42、n the task. The performance on the memory and attention task greatly improved in people following the walk in the park, but did not improve in those who walked downtown.Why nature makes you smarter? According to the experts, one reason has to do with how nature affects your attention. You have two t
43、ypes of attention. One is involuntary, where your attention is attracted by some stimuli(刺激物). And the other one is directed attention, where you control your attention. Directed attention is important for memory, resolving conflict and reducing absent mind.Being in nature exposes you to soothing st
44、imuli that engages your involuntary attention. It gives your directed attention a rest and a chance to become renewed. When you are in a city, you are constantly vigilant(警觉的), your directed attention is turned on and cannot get a rest.Richard Luov created the term “nature deficit(缺乏) disorder disor
45、der” to describe a condition of being so out of touch with nature that we lose humility, our spirituality, our humanity and we also are at higher risk of obesity(肥胖), depression and other disease. His first book, Last Child in the Woods, was about the negative effects of a nature deficit on children
46、, but his new book. The Nature Principle, describes how adults are equally at risk if they seldom spend time with nature.If you cant be in nature today, get a screen saver of nature. In another part of the study, people who were simply shown photos of nature did better on cognitive function than tho
47、se shown urban images. But I think it will be better for you to go out and experience the real things.61Which of the following probably belongs to the attention restoration therapy?ADoing exercise in the gym.BReading Thoreaus works at home.CJogging around in the shopping mall.DWalking or running thr
48、ough a local park.62From the second paragraph, we can learn all EXCEPT that .Athe study was conducted by experts of University of MichiganBthe study is about peoples memory and attentionCthe study indicates nature has a good effect on memory and attentionDthe participants should walk in both the par
49、k and downtown63According to the passage, when one is considered to engage your involuntary attention?ARemembering things.BRelaxing in nature.CSolving problems.DBeing cautious.64Which is the CORRECT information about Richard Luov?AHe found the reason for obesity.BHe wrote a book about childrens prob
50、lems.CHe has published a new health book.DHe created a term to describe people who spend little time in nature.65which of the following would the author highly advise readers to do?AGet a picture of nature.BAvoid watching urban images.CSet your screen with an image of nature as the background.DGo ou
51、t and spend time in nature.CThough much effort and many resources have been spent on protecting the endangered giant panda, research by an international team of scientists shows that much suitable panda habitat is outside the nature reserves and areas where the panda is reported to live.“This resear
52、ch can help the Chinese government and international nongovernmental organizations develop full strategic(战略上的) plans for more effective conservation of the panda,” said Jianguo “Jack” Liu, MSU University Distinguished Professor of fisheries and wildlife.“Overall, about 40 percent of the suitable ha
53、bitat for pandas is inside the nature reserves,” said Andres Vina, a specialist. “But we have also identified potentially suitable habitat outside the reserves.”The giant panda is the rarest member of the bear family. Pandas once ranged throughout most of China, northern Vietnam and northern Myanmar
54、. Today, fewer than 1,600 giant pandas live in the wild in three Chinese provinces; Gansu, Shanxi and Sichuan. Human actionsincluding logging(伐木), residential development and the expansion of farmingare considered the main reasons for the dramatic decrease of the giant pandas habitat.The research te
55、am developed habitat models using geographical and environmental information gathered by satellites overlaid with information on panda occurrence. After analyzing six mountain regions in the three provinces where pandas are known to live, the scientists developed a habitat suitability index(索引) for
56、the entire 48,328 square-mile area. The range-wide habitat analysis model gives the government and other agencies a new tool as they develop conservation strategies not only for pandas but also for many other endangered species. “The Chinese government plans to add about 69,500 square miles of land
57、to the countrys nature reserve system between 2010 and 2020,” said Zhiyun Ouyang, director of the Lab of Urban and Regional Erology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. “So opportunities exist to create new reserves, to expand existing reserves and to create pathways that increase the conn
58、ectivity among the reserves. On the basis of our results, we suggest some new areas be included in Chinas nature reserve system.”66Which of the following is NOT true?AChina has made lots of efforts to protect the giant panda.BPandas live better only outside the nature reserves.CMore plans should be
59、created to protect the giant pandas.DLiu Jianguo is a professor who devotes himself to fisheries and wildlife.67According to the passage, the giant pandas .Ahave the same living habit as bears Bare only suitable to live in Gansu, Shanxi and SichuanCwill all be protected in the nature reservesDare en
60、dangered mainly due to the damage to their habitat68The purpose of developing habitat models is .Ato know where pandas actually live in ChinaBto build a larger nature reserve for the pandasCto develop conservation strategies for endangered speciesDto give governments a warning69The underlined word “
61、overlaid” in the fifth paragraph probably means “ ”.AcoveredBconnectedCcopedDvaried70What can we learn from the last paragraph?AZhiyun Ouyang hopes more areas will become nature reserves in China.BChina has about 69,500 square miles of nature reserves now.CThe existing reserves will remain the same.

This type of enterprise still needed a number of the logistical(逻辑的；运筹的) functions of standard small businesses, such as stocking inventory, sending orders,
64、making sales calls, and so on. And for many, such as landscape design or shipping company, this also required having vehicles, equipment and also managing employees.Although these opportunities continue to exist currently, the growing unitization of the Internet has also opened yet another business
65、opportunity, the Online based work form home business, in which the person hardly ever really will have to leave his or her home. Most of the regular duties stated earlier are no longer necessary.

77、tant tool Ive ever encountered to help me make the big choices in lie. Because almost everythingall external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failurethese things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is t
78、he best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. About a year ago. I was diagnosed with cancer. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect t
79、o live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctors code for preparing to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought youd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything
80、 is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had the surgery and the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surger
81、y. And Im fine now.This was the closes Ive been to facing death, and I hope its the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:No one wants to die. Even people who wan
82、t to go to heaven dont want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Lifes change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now
83、the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.81.
