3．When he was 22，Rob Stewart traveled the world for four years．He wanted to call attention to the mistreatment of sharks．His 2007film，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 Shaarkwater．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 200trees around the world．"Future generations are the ones who will be suffering the most from inaction （无作为），"Felix says．His goal is to plant millions of additional trees．
"When we started four year 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．"
24．What can we learn about Rob Stewart？A
A．He cares about the environment．
B．He likes taking challenging jobs．
C．He spends most of his time traveling．
D．He made his first film four years ago．
25．What does the underlined word"irreversible"in Paragraph 4mean？C
A．Easy to accept．
B．Hard to notice．
C．Impossible to change．
D．Unnecessary to worry about．
26．Which of the following can best describe Felix Finkbeiner？B

D．Self-centered．
27．What would be the best title for the text？D

D．Helping a planet in trouble．

分析本文主要写了全球变暖，人类面临着一系列的灾难，为了保护环境Rob Stewart 做出了一系列的努力．

解答 24．A 推理判断题．纵观全文，He wanted to call attention to the mistreatment of sharks．Rob Stewart 唤醒人们对于鲨鱼的保护，If we educate people，they will make better decisions"about protecting natural resources．保护资源，可以推断出他很注意环境．所以答案选A．
25．C 词义猜测题．根据下一句unless people take action，especially young people，除非人们采取措施，尤其是年轻人，可以看出前一句the consequences of climate change will be irreversible 气候变化的后果将不可逆转"Impossible to change"，所以答案选C．
26．B 推理判断题．根据文中句子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．"Felix Finkbeiner保护环境关系到我们的将来，我们不得不挽救我们自己的未来，可以推断出他是一位有远见的人 far-sighted"有远见的"，所以答案选B．
27．D 标题归纳题．本文主要写了全球变暖，人类面临着一系列的灾难，为了保护环境Rob Stewart 做出了一系列的努力．所以Helping a planet in trouble，挽救灾难中的星球符合文意，故答案选D．

18．Dear John，
My name is Amber and I want to share my story with you because what you've shared about life and positive energy has changed my life．This past year has been one of the hardest for me．I felt I was stuck in a position that had nothing to do with what I wanted to do with my life．In January，after two years of being together，my boyfriend left me．
I read your blog every morning as I drink my coffee at work，but it wasn't until this March that I told myself"no more negativity"as you taught readers in your blog．
Since then I've got into new habits at work to keep my energy positive．When people walk in the front door，I'm the first face they see，so I smile big when I say"good morning"to them，especially on Mondays．Instead of waiting for someone to ask me for help，I offer it with an open mind．The CEO noticed my change and offered me the executive assistant position that I wanted．
One of the biggest things I've taken to heart from your blog is changing my opinions on my job．Yes，it was not an important position，but when I was passionate （热情的） about it，I could make my life fulfilling．
All in all，I have to thank you somehow for having the passion to help others because it truly is inspiring to me．So thank you so much，John．My life has changed because your words pointed me in the right direction，Take care!
Sincerely，
Amber

8．Let us consider what we can do for the food problem．
The simple way to increase food production，one might suppose，is to bring more land into farmland and put more people to work on it．
But it is proved in some developing countries that this will bring some problems．It will quickly make the soil poorer and destroy forest growth．Furthermore，the people there will always find they need more people to work on this land to produce more food．
During the past twenty years，some developing countries ave increased a lot more farmland in their countries，but their populations have in the meantime grown faster，therefore，they are further behind than before．And their food increase has been gained at the cost of using up the rich lands．Many of the lands have become poor lands and are producing less food now．
Meanwhile，farming in the developed countries has produced much more food through improved technology．Since 1940，farmland has been reduced by 7percent in the United States but grain production has jumped by 60percent．The increase in the corn output，thanks to hybrid corn，hasbeen even greater．
The"secret"is to apply fertilizer，in scientific ways，of course．And compared to the developing countries，the populations in developed countries have increased just a little larger than twenty years ago．
On the whole，world population today is increasing at the speed higher than ever before．Every year the population is two percent larger，so that the 6，000，000，000people on the earth today will present another 120，000，000mouths to be fed by the time next year．It is a fearsome thought that this time tomorrow there will be about 330，000persons added to this world population．
What can we do about the increase population or the lack of food to feed such a large，growing population？That's a very important problem before everyone on the earth，young or old，men or women．
32．In the author's opinion，B seems to be the most serious problem today．
A．pollution
B．lack of food
C．poor farmland
D．the increase of world population
33．According to the text，we can conclude thatC．
A．the growth of farmland in developing countriesis faster than that of their population．
B．the populations in developed countries have increased a little larger than that in developing countries twenty years ago．
C．technology in farming is helpful in producing a lot more food in developd countries．
D．developing countries have settled their food problem thanks to the increase of farmland in the past two decaes．
34．The author seems to suggest that the food problem cannot be settled unlessB．
A．we stop getting more land into farmland
B．birth rate is reduced．
C．pollution is stopped
D．fertilizer is used in a scientific way．
35．The best title for this passage should be"C"．
A．More people feed on less food
B．The population problem
C．How to deal with the food problem
D．Science and technology in food production．

15．In 1800，only three percent of the world's population lived in cities．Only one city-Beijing-had a population of over a million．Most people lived in rural areas，and never saw a city in their lives．In 1900，just a hundred years later，roughly 150million people lived in cities，and the world's ten largest cities all had populations exceeding one million．By 2000，the number of city dwellers exceeded three billion； and in 2008，the world's population crossed a tipping point-more than half of the people on Earth lived in cities．By 2050，that could increase to over two-thirds．Clearly，humans have become an urban species．
In the 19th and early 20th centuries，many people viewed cities negatively-crowded，dirty environments full of disease and crime．They feared that as cities got bigger，living conditions would worsen．In recent decades，however，attitudes have changed．Many experts now think urbanization （城市化） is good news，offering solutions to the problems of Earth's growing population．
Harvard economist Edward Glaeser，author of The Victory of the Cir，is one such person．Glaeser argues that cities are very productive because"the absence of space between people"reduces the cost of transporting goods，people，and ideas．While the flow of goods has always been important to cities，what is most important today is the flow of ideas．Successful cities enable people to learn from each other easily，and attract and reward smart people with higher wages．
Another urbanization supporter is environmentalist Stewart Brand．Brand believes cities help the environment because they allow haft of the world's population to live on about four percent of the land．This leaves more space for open country，such as farmland．City dwellers also have less impact per person on the environment than people in the countryside．Their roads，sewers，and power lines need fewer resources to build and operate．City apartments require less energy to heat，cool，and light．Most importantly，people in cities drive less so they produce fewer greenhouse gases per person．
So it's a mistake to see urbanization as evil； it's a natural part of development．The challenge is how to manage the growth．
4．What is Paragraph 1mainly about？C
A．The history of modern cities．
B．Changes taking place within cities．
C．How cities have grown over time．
D．Why modern cities are changing．
5．How have experts'attitudes towards cities changed in recent decades？A
A．They now view the weaknesses as strengths．
B．They no longer see city-riving as attractive．
C．They accept city life in spite of its problems．
D．They think city-riving provides more benefits．
6．Which of the following would Edward Glaeser agree with？B
A．Cities provide more economic opportunities．
B．City people get along better with each other．
C．Over-crowded cities result in problems．
D．Cities limit the flow of ideas．
7．According to Paragraph 4，what would be the result of moving people out of cities？D
A．Economic production would be reduced．
B．There would be less farmland available．
C．People would travel less frequently．
D．House values would fall greatly．
