A

With all the recent concern about the environment, people want to see their money used to better the planet. Here are four well­known environmental organizations.

World Wildlife Fund (WWF)

The World Wildlife Fund is perhaps one of the best­known organizations for the protection of endangered species and their habitats around the world. They've been around for over 45 years. You can donate through their website worldwildlife.org, join their organization as a member, or adopt an animal through their online adoption center.

National Geographic Society (NGS)

National Geographic Society is well­known for their magazine and their specials on TV. The organization itself is one of the longest­running in the world—they've been around since 1888 focusing on exploration and  conservation of forests, oceans, habitats, species and societies. You choose to donate through the website  nationalgeographic.com, buy something at their online store, or order a magazine subscription.

National Wildlife Federation (NWF)

Founded officially in 1937, the National Wildlife Federation tries to protect  wildlife at all costs. In fact, they believe that having the public educated is the  best way to help the environment—the more you know, the more you  can protect the world we live in. Donations to the NWF can be made through their website nwf.org or through other options, like matching gifts, workplace giving, or memorial donations.

EcologyFund. com

Set up in 1976, EcologyFund.com is run on user clicks. Advertisers buy ad space on the site every time someone clicks. The money goes to buy endangered wilderness land to protect it from companies that would destroy it. So far, EcologyFund.com has bought land in many areas. The best thing about this site is that you needn't donate any money—all you have to do is click.

篇章导读：本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个著名的环保组织。

1．Which environmental organization has the longest history?

A．EcologyFund.com.

B．World Wildlife Fund.

C．National Geographic Society.

D．National Wildlife Federation.

答案：C　细节理解题。根据文章内容可知，WWF有45年以上的历史；NGS从1888年就开始存在，是世界上运营时间最长的组织之一，迄今已有超过100年的历史；NWF成立于1937年；EcologyFund.com成立于1976年，因此NGS时间最长。

2．What does NWF think is the most important in environmental protection?

A．Knowledge.  B．Management.

C．Money.  D．Patience.

答案：A　推理判断题。根据文章对NWF介绍中的“In fact, they believe that having the public educated is the best way to help the environment—the more you know, the more you can protect the world we live in.”可知，NWF认为，让公众受教育是帮助环境的最佳方式。由此可以推断，NWF认为知识在环保中是最重要的。

3．In what way does EcologyFund.com differ from the other three organizations?

A．The size of networks.

B．The way of operation.

C．The strength of influence.

D．The degree of popularity.

答案：B　推理判断题。根据文章对四个环保组织的介绍可知，EcologyFund.com是靠用户的点击率获得广告收入的方式运营的，用户无需捐钱，而其他三个环保组织都接受包括捐款在内的多种方式的支持。由此可以推断，EcologyFund.com与其他三个环保组织的运营方式不同。

B

One young lady is being praised for perfect manners for an apology note she wrote to the National Park, after she reportedly took a rock home as a souvenir (纪念品). In expressing her regret, the girl also returned the stolen rock to the park and even gave a donation.

On Aug. 17, the National Park shared the tale of the note to their Facebook page, where it has since been liked over 5,200 times, and shared about 700.

“Dear Park Ranger (护林员), Deep Creek was awesome! I especially liked Tom Branch Falls，”  the youngster, named Karina, began her letter, “I loved it so much. I wanted to have a souvenir to come home with me.”

“So I took a rock. I'm sorry, and I want to return it，” she said. “Also, here's a donation！”

Lucky for Karina, the park rangers were moved by her sincere apologies for the petty theft, and even wrote back.

“Dear Karina, Thank you so much for returning the rock! It has made its way back to Tom Branch Falls. We are so glad you enjoyed your visit，” the park officials wrote in their Facebook post.

“Already, you are becoming an amazing steward for the park. Thank you for recognizing that what is in the park should stay in the park. If every visitor took a rock home, that would mean 11 million rocks would be gone from the park every year！” they shared.

The park rangers went on to explain the importance of rocks in the Natural Park as homes for “hundreds” of creatures, including salamanders.

“Now that you know to leave nature the way you find it, we hope you will help share this message with others，” the officials concluded, “It is always a good thing to give another the chance to discover！”

篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一个女孩在自然公园拿了一块石头又幡然悔悟，她归还了石头，写了道歉信， 而且还捐了款。这样“诚实的小偷”，会被原谅吗？

4．Why did the young lady take the rock home from the natural park?

A．Because it's valuable.

B．Because she liked Tom Branch Falls and wanted to have a souvenir.

C．Because it looks nice.

D．Because Deep Creek was so awesome that she wanted to have a souvenir.

答案：B　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I especially liked Tom Branch Falls”和“I loved it so much, I wanted to have a souvenir to come home with me.”可知正确答案为B。

5．Besides writing an apology note, what did the girl do?

A．Return the stone and give a donation.      

B．Become a steward for the park.

C．Share the note to her Facebook page.     

D．Take the stone back to Tom Branch Falls.

答案：A　细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句中的“the girl also returned the stolen rock to the park and even gave a donation.”可知正确答案为A。

6．From this passage, we can learn that ________.

A．not all the visitors can take a rock from the natural park

B．the salamanders are a kind of rare plants

C．when we go to the natural park, we should leave nature the way we find it

D．it's always a good thing to share messages with others

答案：C　推理判断题。A项的意思是并非所有的参观者都可以从自然公园带走石头，观点错误；根据倒数第二段中的“... ‘hundreds’ of creatures, including salamanders”，可知salamanders (蝾螈)是动物，B项错误；D项语义过于笼统，文章的原意为与他人分享保护自然的信息是好的。故选C。

7．What's the best title of this passage?

A．A Pretty Thief                      

B．A Rock from the Natural Park

C．A Girl Who Have Perfect Manners     

D．An Apology Note

答案：D　标题判断题。文章从一封道歉信开始，然后这封道歉信被分享在网上，最后护林员回信，都说明这篇文章是围绕道歉信展开的，所以最佳标题为D。

C

When he was 22, Rob Stewart traveled the world for four years. He wanted to call attention to the mistreatment of sharks. His 2007 film, Sharkwater, documents the cruel practice of removing sharks' fins (鳍) for money and leaving the animals to die. In his latest documentary, Revolution, Stewart takes on an even bigger challenge: climate change.

The Canadian filmmaker says that climate change has harmed people and places everywhere: “It is stronger than any government or organization. If we educate people, they will make better decisions about protecting natural resources.”

According to a recent report on climate change, “The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have reduced, and sea levels have risen.” These developments are endangering crops, wildlife, fish, and even people.

Stewart says that the consequences of climate change will be irreversible unless people take action, especially young people.“It's up to kids to be the moral compass (道德指南) of society，” he believes, “and say, ‘Guys, this is not right.’”

Many kids took action after seeing Sharkwater. Elementary school students in the Northern Mariana Islands, for example, got their local government to ban the sale of shark fins.

Felix Finkbeiner, 17, of Germany is also part of the “revolution” to save the planet. In 2007, Felix started a youth group called Plant－for－the－Planet, whose motto is “Stop Talking. Start Planting.” The group raises money to plant trees. So far, Plant－for－the－Planet has planted nearly 200 trees around the world. “Future generations are the ones who will be suffering the most from inaction (不作为)，” Felix says. His goal is to plant millions of additional trees.

“When we started four years ago，” Felix tells Stewart in Revolution, “we thought we had to save the polar bear. We thought we had to save the environment. But soon after, we found out that it's about our future, that we have to save our own future.”

Garbage sorting has become a hot issue around China, especially after Shanghai began carrying out a regulation on July 1.

Beijing, as a forerunner in environmental protection, has thus been expected to follow suit. The capital of the country has long been campaigning for sorting and recycling household waste, as part of its environmental drive for sustainable growth, local media reported.

The current regulation gives garbage sorting responsibilities to government departments, property management groups and other organizations. It also gives rules for companies, outlining how they're responsible for waste collection, transportation and treatment. Only individuals are not subject to responsibilities.

The long－awaited revision will soon change the situation, “Taking out the trash without sorting it properly will be illegal.” said Sun Xinjun, director of the Beijing Commission of Urban Management. In Shanghai, violators are now fined up to 200 yuan ($30) for trash－sorting violations. The maximum fine in Beijing will not be less than that, he said.

The Beijing city government first set out to promote garbage sorting in 2009.Authorities have since called on citizens to sort their household waste into four types—recyclable waste, kitchen trash, dangerous waste and others—and leave it in a corresponding dustbin or trash can. Blue－colored dustbins signify items within are recyclable, green represents kitchen trash, red corresponds to dangerous materials and grey to other waste.

To promote the awareness of garbage sorting and expand the base of participants, authorities have employed workers to help residents on the spot. With intelligent devices, those who throw in recyclable waste at given sites will be rewarded with bonus points, which can be used to buy daily goods. At some communities, there are no color－coded dustbins. Instead, a scheduled garbage collection service is offered to help improve the environment. In other communities, workers offer a door－to－door service to collect recyclables or kitchen waste.

Beijing Environmental Sanitation Engineering Group has been promoting new garbage sorting facilities such as recycling cabinets and smart kitchen waste trash cans since 2016, Xinhua News Agency reported. Nearly 26,000 metric tons of household waste is generated across Beijing on a daily basis and 29 terminal garbage disposal facilities are working at full capacity. Nearly 9.3 million tons of household waste was processed in the city last year.

篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了垃圾分类在北京的实施情况。

12．According to the passage, which dustbins should some used coke cans be thrown into?

A．Grey－colored dustbins. B．Red－colored dustbins.

C．Green－colored dustbins. D．Blue－colored dustbins.

答案：D　细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“Blue－colored dustbins signify items within are recyclable，”可知，蓝色垃圾箱装的是可回收垃圾，而喝完的可乐罐属于可回收垃圾，应投入蓝色垃圾箱内，故D项正确。

13．We can learn from the passage that ________.

A．new technology has been applied to help deal with garbage

B．Beijing carried out a more severe rule on garbage sorting than Shanghai

C．the change of the current regulation has aroused objection among citizens

D．the amount of household waste in Beijing is far from something disturbing

答案：A　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“With intelligent devices, those who throw in recyclable waste at given sites will be rewarded with bonus points”可知，有了智能设备，那些将垃圾放入指定垃圾箱的市民将获得奖励积分，由此可知，新技术已应用于帮助处理垃圾分类，故A项正确。

14．What is the best title for the text?

A．How to Sort Garbage in China

B．The Current Regulation in Beijing

C．Garbage Collection in Beijing

D．Waste Recycling Project Counts

答案：C　标题判断题。通读全文，特别是根据第二段中的“Beijing, as a forerunner in environmental protection, has thus been expected to follow suit.”可知，本文主要介绍了垃圾分类在北京的实施情况，故C项正确。

15．The passage can be sorted as ________.

A．a book review  B．a travel brochure

C．an environment report  D．a geography essay

答案：C　推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍的是垃圾分类在北京的实施情况，这属于环保话题，因此文章可能是一份环境报告，故C项正确。
