【题目】 Utah Lake is, in a word, disgusting. The State of Utah has worked with many partners and spent millions of dollars in an attempt to restore Utah Lake. It has indeed produced some active effects. However, due to the wastewater getting into it，this body of water is rich in nutrient and home to water bloom. Overfishing and the introduction of invasive species have only made the problem worse. In the summer of 2016，500 people in Utah complained about their headaches, skin rashes and discomfort after swimming in the lake.
The Utah Lake Restoration Project is headed by Parker. He imagines a beautiful lake dotted with man-made islands where a community could be built. Parker frequently goes to Capitol Hill to push for the proposal of the comprehensive lake restoration. Parker follows his rules "big ideas are worth approaching"，as the project calls for lake digging, the creation of islands，the removal of invasive species to restore the habitats of native plants，fish and so on.
Speaking of the Utah Lake Restoration Project，Ben Holcomb said, "It is not quite in line with reality.” He added，"Despite impressive computer models and the current project report， the Utah Lake Restoration Project lacks the actual field research to show that this project will have a positive effect on the lake's ecosystem.”
When asked how the public would help beautify Utah Lake, the lake's official workers suggested picking up garbage. However, it has a greatly limited effect on the overall health of the lake. Parker's plan may seem like the state's best chance to restore Utah Lake, but in reality the Utah Lake Restoration Project lacks the facts necessary for this sort of proposal. The State of Utah should propose some suggestions for the revision of the plan and offer the Utah Lake Restoration Project the access necessary to conduct research which could be compared with their theoretical findings. Only then can the State of Utah make an educated decision on behalf of people and resources.

本文是说明文。为了改善犹他湖的污染，Parker提出了一个方案——犹他湖修复工程。其他人对此有不同看法，目前该项目还需要得到犹他州的支持，进行一些实地研究和调整。
【1】细节理解题。根据第一段第二句The State of Utah has worked with many partners and spent millions of dollars in an attempt to restore Utah Lake.（犹他州与许多合作伙伴合作，花费数百万美元试图恢复犹他州湖。）可知犹他州试图恢复犹他州湖。故选A项。
【2】细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句Parker follows his rules "big ideas are worth approaching"，as the project calls for lake digging, the creation of islands，the removal of invasive species to restore the habitats of native plants，fish and so on.（Parker遵循他的规则，“伟大的想法是值得接近的”，因为该项目要求挖掘湖泊，创建岛屿，清除入侵物种，以恢复本土植物、鱼类的栖息地，等等。）可知，这个工程是想要为犹他湖的本地生物打造一个安全的家，故选D项。
【3】推理判断题。根据第三段第一句Speaking of the Utah Lake Restoration Project，Ben Holcomb said, "It is not quite in line with reality.”可知，Ben Holcomh认为这个工程与现实不太相符，故可推知他对这个工程持怀疑的态度。故选A。
【4】推理判断题。根据最后一段中Parker's plan may seem like the state's best chance to restore Utah Lake, but in reality the Utah Lake Restoration Project lacks the facts necessary for this sort of proposal. The State of Utah should propose some suggestions for the revision of the plan and offer the Utah Lake Restoration Project the access necessary to conduct research which could be compared with their theoretical findings.（帕克的计划似乎是犹他州恢复犹他湖的最佳机会，但实际上犹他湖恢复项目缺乏这类提议所必需的事实。犹他州应该对该计划的修订提出一些建议，并为犹他州湖恢复项目提供进行研究的必要途径，以便与他们的理论研究结果进行比较。）可知作者想告诉我们Parker的计划需要一些实地研究和调整。故选C。

On May 28th, we observe World Hunger Day. It is an effort to focus attention on 【1】fact that despite there being enough food globally, some 21,000 people die every day from hunger.
People do not go hungry because the world does not produce enough food for everyone.

The main problem is that many people in the world still do not have resources【3】 (purchase) or grow enough food.
Indeed, hunger【4】 (be) a result of poverty, and also one of its causes. Hunger exists because many countries lack social safety nets; because in many countries women, although they do most of the farming, do not have as much access 【5】 men to training or land.
Over the past decade, a global push to reduce hunger and extreme poverty【6】 (mark) some significant successes, partly thanks【7】 the efforts of many international【8】(organization).
