21、 Plants, and the insects which rely on them, are the living foundations of our planet. But these foundations are under stress because we have a tendency to replace fields and forests with decorative trees and shrubs imported from around the world. Adding to the problem, our obsession (痴迷) with perfection leads us to use a lot of pesticides (杀虫剂).
These actions are part of the reason global biodiversity is crashing. There are over three billion fewer wild birds in North America than there were in 1970. Recent research shows that insect numbers, even in nature reserves, have fallen, and 40 percent of all insect species may be extinct within a few decades. This is discouraging news; however, there are actions we can take to help bring at least some species back.
The first step is to redefine our concept of “garden” to include more than just plants. We need to intentionally share our space, and not just with the birds, bees and butterflies that visit our flowers, but also with the little insects that may eat a part (very rarely all) of our plants. Therefore, we must limit pesticide use. It’s crucial to support nature’s recovery, and it’s much better for everyone: no doctor has ever recommended long-term exposure to pesticides.
Many drought-tolerant plants brought in from across the planet are being passed off as ecofriendly. However, mostly they’re not. Yes, you’re saving water, but these foreign plants can become disasters when they escape our yards. Helping the environment can be about more than saving water. Even in drier areas, like the American West, the selection of attractive native plants to choose from is vast. If dry is your style, there are native wildflowers, flowering bushes and trees that allow you to save water and nature.
Xeriscapes (节水型园艺) leave many gardeners thirsting for green, and there’s an important alternative that has been largely ignored. For those disenchanted with dry landscaping, using underappreciated and water-loving native plants to make your garden a real-life oasis (绿洲) could be lifesaving to wildlife. In nature, this unsung group of native plants is limited to riparian zones, the narrow belts of green along water bodies, but if consumers demand them, nurseries will increasingly carry these riparian species, and the presence of such plants in the garden will provide for many animals including not just butterflies and their relatives but also colorful birds.
The ideal garden would offer a combination of drought-tolerant native plants and a few species that need a little more water, providing options for little guests and the bigger ones that will come to eat them. As more creatures stop by to share our yards, we will be making nature, and us all, a little healthier.
【1】What do we know about insect species?
A.They have an impact on the diversity of plants.
B.They disappear because of lack of nature reserves.
C.They decrease partly due to our pursuit for perfection.

22、 The researchers found that more than half of the decline in the Colorado River’s flow is connected to increasing temperatures, and as warming continues, they say the risk of “severe water shortages” for the millions that rely on it is expected to-grow.
The study also examined the impact that action to control pollution of heat-trapping gases could have on the river’s water supply. Some decrease in the flow is likely no matter what actions are taken, but without any cuts to emissions, the river’s discharge(流量)could shrink by between 19% and 31% by the middle of this century.
The Colorado River starts high in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and Wyoming. On its route, this river supplies major cities like Denver, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and San Diego, as well as farms in the US and Mexico that grow the vegetables that feed, millions around the world. It supports around $1 trillion of economic activity each year.
Global warming is reducing the snowpack that feeds the river. As temperatures increase, snow cover in the region is declining, meaning less energy from the sun is reflected back into space and more warms the ground as heat. The river’s flow has also been cut down by a severe drought during the last two decades, leaving its two main reservoirs-Lake Powell and Lake Mead -barely half full.
Udall, a senior climate scientist at Colorado State University, says these new findings show that the only way to save the river is by addressing the root cause of the problem: climate change. “The science is crystal clear we must reduce greenhouse gas emissions immediately,” he says. “We now have the technologies, the policies and favorable economics to accomplish greenhouse gas reductions. What we lack is the will.”
【1】With cutting emissions, the river flow would reduce by ______.
A.less than 19%
B.about 30%
C.over 19%
D.between 19% and 31%
【2】What does the author intend to tell us about the Colorado River in paragraph 3?
A.It is a long river.
B.It is very important.
C.It makes adequate electricity.
D.It flows through more than two countries.
【3】Which is one of the effects of the reduction of the snow cover?
A.The weather becomes drier.
B.The river gets more water.
C.The ground gets more heat.
D.Droughts break out frequently.
【4】What prevents people reducing greenhouse gas emissions according to Udall?
A.Lack of will.
B.Lack of cooperation.
C.Backward economy.
D.Technology unavoidable
23、 You’re lost in the woods, in the sea or on the mountain. You have your smart phone with you. At this time, don’t worry as you can use the following apps on your phone to get help.
Boot Print Survival
The Boot Print Survival app can keep track of the last place where you had a cell phone signal. If and when you find yourself lost and without a cell phone signal, just open up Boot Print Survival, which tells you the direction and distance to the last place where you had a signal. Then it’s simply a matter of finding your way back.
Wild Edibles
“Wildman” Steve Brill is an experienced explorer and naturalist who poured his knowledge of wild foods into this handy app. Though humans can go weeks without eating, our bodies work much better with a little food in our stomachs. Out in the wild it can be just as dangerous to eat the wrong thing as to eat nothing, and the Wild Edibles app provides detailed descriptions and pictures of each plant as well as food preparation instructions.
Army Survival
You can’t have too much good information when it comes to saving your life. The Army Survival guide app draws information from a survival guide written by the U.S. Army and covers water, dangerous animals to avoid, and how to find and prepare food. This app has topics like cold weather survival and how to get by in the desert.
SAS Survival Guide
If you’ve gotten to this point, it probably means you’re considering spending at least a night out in nature. The SAS Survival Guide was born as a book written by John Wiseman, a former SAS (British Special Air Service) soldier and instructor. The 400-page book has been translated to both iPhone and Android apps and is full of information on first aid, shelter-building, eating, drinking, and tips to guide you through places like forests, deserts, the sea coast and cold weather environments.
【1】How can Boot Print Survival help you out?
A.By helping find your best route forward.
B.By providing a cell phone signal for you.
C.By recording the places you have been to.
D.By guiding you to a place with a cell phone signal.
【2】What do Wild Edibles and Army Survival have in common?
A.They have information on food.
B.They offer tips on driving away animals.
C.They can be used to teach cooking at home.
D.They are developed under the guidance of a book.
【3】Which app can you turn to if you need to build a place to sleep at night?
A.Boot Print Survival.
B.Wild Edibles.
C.Army Survival.
D.SAS Survival Guide.
24、What does a PhD student do? I am a PhD girl student being responsible for the tear where undergraduate and master students work together. They work on different aspects of my project and other projects in the team. I offer them advice and sort out issues they have. I also assist them with computer-aided design (CAD), programming, and teach them how to use some equipment, like 3D printers. Being in charge of the research group while working or my PhD is also a learning process for me. There is so much support from my supervisors and senior students. There is usually someone to turn to for help!
I start my day at 5 am. I will read some papers and work on my project before heading to the lab in the hospital at 11:00. This summer, our team consists of 40 students, so the lab is usually occupied when I get there. I will attend some meetings, meet with students, and then program or work on CAD.
The best part of my research work is the flexibility in that it involves both software and hardware development. Whenever I get stuck on the programming part, I will move onto CAD for a break. It does not require me to be attached to my screen at all times, which can be quite refreshing.
My project about the development of a robotic system impresses me a lot. A huge milestone for me is designing and developing my first model of a robot. It is quite satisfying to make progress and be reminded of the great potential my research has for improving the current medical treatment.
I think I can progress even further if I have more confidence in myself and ask others for help when I need it most. In my opinion, it doesn’t matter who you want to ask for help, because they may know more about the topic than you do. So, expose yourself to people in the roles you wish to be in and make lots of connections!
【1】What does the author think of being responsible for the research group?
A.Troublesome.
B.Beneficial.
C.Effortless.
D.Casual.
【2】What satisfies the author most in the study?
A.Reading some papers.
B.Freely choosing subjects.
C.Asking teachers for help.
D.Relaxing by switching work.
【3】What does the author convey in paragraph 4?
A.Her pride in the research result.
B.The importance of teamwork in the research.
C.The difficulty of developing a robotic system.
D.Her confusion about designing a robot model.
【4】What does the author want to tell us to do in the last paragraph?
A.Offer to help others.
B.Expose our abilities to others.
C.Turn to others for help when necessary.
D.Cooperate with other people as we wish.
