He learned that the species was critically endangered , which surprised him.‎ ‎ This encouraged Dr. Gibson and his colleague to investigate(调查) how a critically endangered species had become self-sustaining outside of its natural range. They discovered 49 cases of a globally threatened species becoming established as a separate population, including the yellow-crested cockatoo in their city.‎ ‎ “This is a species which is primarily threatened by wildlife trade,” he told BBC News. “Poachers(偷猎者) go out into the forest in eastern Indonesia and capture the birds and then ship them off, usually up to our city where there is a strong demand for pet birds. This is what has fueled the decline of this species in its native range. But it’s really interesting because that same cause also had another effect:some of the people who were keeping this species here accidentally or intentionally released them.” As a result of enough of the birds being set free, it allowed a new self-sustaining population to be established in this city.‎ ‎ The government of Dr. Gibson’s city has made it illegal to capture the species, even though it is a non-native species. Because the city is affluent and relatively well educated, the case of people breaking the law are extremely rare, explained Dr. Gibson. Unlike in its native range in Indonesia where capturing birds forms a major source of income. ‎ ‎ However, there can be downsides(缺点) to the newly established population of endangered species , such as a limited genetic pool, and suffering from novel diseases. It did also present a possible “very interesting” opportunity for conservationists , Dr. Gibson suggested. This would involve “harvest”some of the newly established secondary population, which may provide a way to help global biodiversity loss.‎ 20. What was beyond Gibson’s expectations according to the first paragraph?‎ A. The high rate of wildlife trade. B. The preciousness of the birds.‎ C.The fact that the birds nearly disappear. D. The news that the birds were poached.‎ 21. What can replace the underlined word “affluent”?‎ A. Peace-loving B. Rich C. Free D. Environment-friendly 22. For what purpose did the author write the passage?‎ A. To appeal to everyone to stop the wildlife trade.‎ B. To explain the challenge the wild birds are facing.‎ C. To introduce a creative approach to wildlife conservation.‎ D. To raise people’s awareness of protecting endangered species. ‎ C A new school in Uruguay is teaching students about environmental sustainability (可持续性) and practicing what it teaches. The school in the small town of Jaureguiberry was built with recycled materials, most of which were collected from the community (社区). Solar energy powers the school. The school also uses filtered (滤过的) rainwater. The students learn to grow their own organic (有机的) food. And, a regular curriculum (课程) is combined with lessons on farming, recycling and water conservation. The 43 students at the school grow their own crops like tomatoes and strawberries. The food they grow they get to eat too.‎ The Uruguayan organization Tagma developed this school called Public School No. 294. Tagma supports responsible and sustainable ways of living and using natural resources. US architect (建筑师) Michael Reynolds designed the school which opened in February, 2016. Reynolds is known for his opinion of sustainable building designs.‎ This alternative school system is popular with the students. One of them, Felipe Sanchez, says the curriculum makes him more interested in class. “In my other school, we didn’t plant anything and it was not fun. I was bored and my friends did not understand me or treat me well. In this school, my friends like me and we can plant and do a lot of things.”‎ The school tries to support a culture of community in the classroom. Students from different grades learn together and help each other. Rita Montans is a teacher at Public School No. 294. She says, “Our core teaching (核心教学) is based on the principles of sustainability, environmental protection, and coexistence (共存), so naturally it creates an environment where it is easier to establish relations. The multi-grade system enables (使能够) a fourth-grade child to study with a third-grade student and monitor him or her. A second-grade student can be in pre-school and a first-grade child can be with the third-grade students.”‎ The school is still young. But its teachers and administrators are hopeful that the lessons their students are learning will last a lifetime. Rita Montans says, “I hope that when younger children graduate from here, they take away with them this seed we sowed just like we grow plants in the ‎ nursery, and that the ideas of protecting the environment and living in harmony with the environment remain important.”‎ ‎27. The author develops the first paragraph mainly by _____.‎ A. providing examples B. analyzing cause and effect C. making comparisons D. following the order of time ‎28. What do we know about the new school according to the passage?‎ A. It hasn’t been named officially.‎ B. It was designed by a local architect.‎ C. It was opened the year before last year.‎ D. It is a model of using natural resources.‎ ‎29. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4?‎ A. The teaching principles of the new school.‎ B. The method of creating a relaxed atmosphere in class.‎ C. The way to practice the community culture at the new school.‎ D. The differences between the school culture and the community culture.‎ ‎30. The underlined words “this seed” in the last paragraph most probably refer to “_____”.‎ A. a tomato seed ‎ B. the labor skill lesson C. a monitoring approach ‎ D. the environmental awareness 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ From plastic bags to straws(吸管)， single-use plastic products have worn out their welcome in Canada. Today, the Canadian government announced that it plans to “ban harmful single-use plastics as early as 2021” in an effort to reduce the three million tons of plastic waste thrown away by the country every year. ‎ According to the Canadian government, 15 billion plastic bags are used in Canada every year, 31 And since China stopped importing plastic for recycling last year, Canada’s ‎ plastic problems have taken on a new urgency(紧迫).‎ ‎ 32 Plastics are now just about everywhere on Earth, from the deepest parts of the ocean to the frozen wilderness of Antarctica. Fish birds and other creatures can get caught in plastic trash or eat plastics instead of food, often with tragic results. 33 One of the best ways to prevent plastic from getting into the ocean is to stop using so much of it in the first place.‎ ‎ 34 Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau referred to the European Union’s recent decision to ban single-use plastics as the inspiration for Canada’s ban.‎ ‎ Exactly which plastics will be banned and how the ban will be carried out hasn’t yet been decided. The government recently drew up a scientific report on plastic pollution, and it will make formal decisions about individual items once the report is released. 35 In the news release announcing the proposed policy, “shopping bags , straws, cutlery(餐具), plates and stir sticks”were all mentioned as examples of what should be banned.‎ A. But some products are likely to make that final list.‎ B. Canada isn’t alone in facing plastic problems.‎ C. The Canadian government participated in the European Unions recent decision.‎ D. The plastic ban announcement brings Canada in line with a global movement to ban single-use plastic products.‎ E. We should keep the environment clean and safe for generations to come.‎ F. But only 10 percent of plastic waste in the country actually gets recycled.‎ G. Once plastic makes it to the ocean, it is very difficult to clean up.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（ 共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Hello, Mr. Wi-Fi.

That is a much bigger drop than many previous estimates (估计), and it comes from a study of people’s real diets.‎ About a quarter of our greenhouse gas emissions (排放物) come from food production. But it’s not clear how much would really be saved if people changed their beef steaks for tofu burgers. ‎ So Peter Scarborough and his colleagues at the University of Oxford took data on the real diets of more than 50,000 people in the UK, and calculated (计算) their diet-related carbon footprints.‎ They found that the benefits could be huge. If those eating more than 100 grams of meat a day went vegetarian, their food-related carbon footprint would drop by 60 percent, saving about 1.5 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year.‎ Perhaps more realistically, if someone eating more than 100 grams of meat a day simply cuts their consumption down to less than 50 grams a day, their food-related emissions would fall by a third. That would save almost a tonne of carbon dioxide each year.‎ ‎【写作内容】‎ ‎1. 用约30个单词写出上文概要；‎ ‎2. 用约120个单词谈谈你对低碳生活的理解以及如何做到低碳生活。‎ ‎【写作要求】‎ ‎1. 写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句；‎ ‎2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称；‎ ‎3. 不必写标题。‎ ‎【评分标准】‎ 内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当。‎ ‎ ‎
