La Concha beach Located in northeastern Fuerteventura are a number of family-friendly beaches. One of the most pop
29、ular is La Concha, which is dressed in white sand and beautified with calm water. The beach is close to the town and at sunset, most tourists rush to see the skies turn beautiful colours in just a few short moments. At low tide (潮汐), small pools of water form, and these are great for the little memb
30、ers of the family to take a dive in. There are enough parking lots and plenty of restaurants to choose from. Corralejo Natural ParkIf you are looking to experience the desert nature of Fuerteventura, Corralejo Natural Park is the place to be. It is a coin with two sides. One is characterized by volc
31、anic scenery, and the other is white sand that has been cleansed by the blue water of the Atlantic Ocean. Getting to the park can be easily done by road, but exploring it demands that you put on your hiking shoes and take a walk through the natural wonderland. Costa Calma BeachCosta Calma Beach is c
32、haracterized by blue waters and white sand. The beach is not packed, so you will get a chance to be just with your thoughts as you sunbathe on the sand. When the winds are swift, Costa Calma turns into a hot spot for surfers, ideal for those looking to get a surfing course. The road leading to the b
33、each is fenced by green plants meaning the magic starts even before you get there. Cofete BeachIts hard to find a fitting description for this wild beach. Its shoreline is great for its golden sand and wild water. Getting to Cofete Beach is not easy: perhaps thats why this place is still in its orig
34、inal state. The road has difficult spots that require expert driving skills. But, if you can tolerate it, you will be treated with some amazing views. 【语篇概述】本文主要向读者介绍了西班牙著名的景点Fuerteventura, 并具体举例说明了其出名的原因。21. Which place is recommended for a family with kids? A. Cofete Beach. B. Corralejo Natural Pa
35、rk. C. Costa Calma Beach. D. La Concha Beach. 【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据文章第二段At low tide, small pools of water form, and these are great for the little members of the family to take a dive in. 在低潮时, 会形成一个个小水池, 这些小水池非常适合家庭的小成员潜水。也就是说, 适合有小孩子的家庭潜水。故选D。22. What can people do at Corralejo Natural Park? A. Learn ho
36、w to surf. B. Sunbathe on the golden sand. C. Enjoy changeable sky colours. D. Experience Fuerteventuras desert nature. 【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据文章第三段第一句(如果你想体验Fuerteventura的沙漠自然, Corralejo Natural Park就是你的去处。)可知, 在Corralejo Natural Park, 你可以拥有探索沙漠的体验。故选D。23. What makes Cofete Beach different from the other t
37、wo? A. Cars are forbidden. B. It has amazing white sand. C. It has stayed untouched. D. Approaching it is much easier. 【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据文章最后一段Getting to Cofete Beach is not easy: perhaps thats why this place is still in its original state.

38、没有被开发。故选C。BIn my everyday life, I am on an ongoing journey to figure out different ways to reduce my carbon footprint on the planet. A carbon footprint is the measure of influence our activities have on the environment, in particular climate change. It is calculated by the amount of greenhouse gas w
39、e produce in our daily lives. Fortunately, nowadays it is much easier to make eco-friendly lifestyle choices than, lets say, 20 years ago. But one question has been on my mind a lot lately: is it better to buy new eco-friendly products or used traditionally produced goods? After doing some research,
40、 I have decided that some things are better new and others are better used. Let me try to explain. A carbon footprint is made up of two parts, the primary footprint and the secondary footprint. The primary footprint is a measure of our direct emissions (排放) of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the burning o
41、f fuels, including household energy consumption and transportation. The secondary footprint is a measure of the indirect CO2 emissions from the whole lifecycle of products we usethose related to their production and breakdown. Based on this understanding, we have a good deal of control and responsib
42、ility over our carbon footprint. Things like dishes, clothes and furniture fall into the “secondary footprint” group, so less is more and we can focus on finding used goods to avoid the added production. However, for the car and the other appliances(设备)that we need we can go with new, energy-saving
43、models. I heard somewhere that electronics and appliances give off 90% of their carbon footprint after they leave the factory. So it seems most reasonable to go for the energy-saving models. The main concern here is the amount of energy that goes into the making of new products and whether or not th
44、at extra carbon is worth the footprint the product will make once it gets to you. 【语篇概述】本文是说明文。作者在生活中寻找减少日常活动的碳排放的方法, 比较新型环保产品和使用过的传统工艺生产的产品, 哪一种更能减少碳的排放量。通过研究和对比, 发现各有好处。24. What is the text mainly about? A. What appliances to buy to save energy. B. What a carbon footprint means in our life. C. How
45、 to identify different carbon footprints. D. How to make eco-friendly lifestyle choices. 【解析】选D。主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知, 本文主要探讨了如何降低碳排放量, 如何做出一些有利于环境的正确的生活选择。25. What do we know about the secondary carbon footprint? A. It is related to our consumption of fuels. B. It is made when we are buying the products.
46、C. It is less harmful than the primary carbon footprint. D. It is counted as ours though not directly made by us. 【解析】选D。细节理解题。由第三段可知, 碳的间接排放主要来自我们日常使用产品的整个生产周期从产品制作到处置分解。由此可知, 碳的间接排放不是我们直接产生的, 但与我们相关, 我们也负有一定的责任。26. Which of the following helps reduce our carbon footprint according to the author? A
47、. Using second-hand textbooks. B. Using old and expensive cars. C. Buying new but cheap clothes. D. Buying new wooden furniture. 【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句Things like dishes, clothes and furniture fall into the “secondary footprint” group, so less is more and we can focus on finding used goods to avoid
48、the added production. (像盘碟、衣服和家具归为第二级碳足迹类型, 因此本着“少就是多”的原则, 我们可以专注于找些旧的物品来避免增加生产。), 可以推断出using second-hand textbooks(使用二手课本), 有助于减少我们的碳排放量。27. “The footprint” underlined in the last sentence refers to the CO2 produced in _. A. using the productB. recycling the productC. making the productD. transport
49、ing the product【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据文章最后一段最后一句中的the footprint the product will make once it gets to you, 产品到达你的手上产生的“碳排放”, 因此此处指的是使用过程中产生的碳排放。C If American waterways had ever been voted on the yearbook, the Buffalo River could easily have been named Ugliest. It could be hard to find hope there. It took de
50、cades for public perception of the river to shift. But activist citizens, who collaborated with industry, government, and environment groups never gave up on their polluted riverthe Buffalo River gradually went from being considered a lost cause to a place worth fighting for. And by now the cleaned-
51、up water is one of Buffalos biggest attractions. By the 1960s, the river was seen as one of the worst sources of pollution pouring into the Great Lakes. The Buffalo River had caught fire many times. The surface had an oily layer, and any fish caught there were not eatable. The waterways fate started
52、 shifting in the mid-1960s. Stanley Spisiak was a local Polish-American jeweler by day, but by evening he was the kind of guy whod chase down dumpers(翻斗车)he spotted on the Buffalo River. By 1966 he found himself winning the National Wildlife Federations “Water Conservationist of the Year” award. And
53、 before long he got a nickname: “Mr Buffalo River”. But there was only so much he could dothe river was still declared biologically dead in 1969. Jill Spisiak Jedlicka is his great grandniece. She picks up where he left off by directing the rivers protector organization, Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper.
54、 Professor Schneekloth and seven friends founded the organization as an all-volunteer non-profit in 1989, after organizing the first river cleanup that year. Today the group employs 27 full-time workers and has helped oversee the Buffalo Rivers $100 million restoration. So far, the Buffalo Rivers wa
55、ter quality has restored, but it is still an ongoing issue, as sewage(污水)can overflow into the river after storms. Habitat restoration continues as well; fish and plantings are still being sampled to measure how well its gone. 【语篇概述】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是被污染的the Buffalo River的恢复。28. What did the Buffalo Ri

57、ause he spotted dumpers on the River. C. Because he spared no efforts to protect the river. D. Because the river was declared biologically dead. 【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据第三段中Stanley Spisiak was a local Polish-American jeweler by day. . . “Mr Buffalo River”可知, Mr Spisiak被称为“Mr Buffalo River”是因为他不遗余力地保护这条河流。故选C
58、。30. How long did it take for the river to restore? A. More than half a century. B. Just four decades. C. About 30 years. D. Only 27 years. 【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据第一段中“It took decades for public perception of the river to shift. (公众对这条河的看法的改变花了几十年的时间)”及第二段第一句(到了20世纪60年代, 这条河被认为是五大湖最严重的污染源之一。)和最后一段第一句“So far
