第1题
W: Hmm, it sounds interesting. Please share with us. What does it mean？
M: Essentially, what it means is that as you are building a house, you try to leave the landscape feature on the land, especially the vegetation in the original condition. So what you are not doing is the usual practice of "land scraping". By which I mean literally scraping or cleaning the land of any and all the original plants.
W: Why is the approach called Envelop Building？
M: Good question! Because instead of clearing everything away, you let your original landscape elements envelop or surround your house. Let the vegetation physical features such as hills and slopes or interesting rock formations, constitute a significant part of the character of the building site. The design of the house should take these features of the land into account.
W: Any more information about Envelop Building？ Is it a recent technology？
M: Actually, integrating your original wild landscape with a house is not that new. The famous American architect Wright was doing it about 65 years ago. Envelop Building is not as easy as it sounds though. It's not just that you build your house and leave the land alone. By building, you are already damaging the original landscape. But as architects, we should try to work with environment, not against it. A creative architect can find ways to incorporate natural landscape into the overall design.
W: I guess this technology will be acknowledged by more architects.
(23)
A．Eliminating the original vegetation from the building site.
B．Making the houses in an area similar to one another.
C．Deciding where a house will be built.
D．Surrounding a building with wildflowers and plants.

Why Buy Shade-Grown Coffee？
When people argue about whether coffee is good for health， they"re usually thinking of the health of the coffee drinker. Is it food for your heart？ Does it increase blood pressure？ Does it help you concentrate？ However， coffee affects the health of the human population in other ways， too.Traditionally， coffee bushes were planted under the canopy（树冠）of taller indigenous（土生土长的）trees. However， more and more farmers in Latin America are deforesting the land to grow full-sun coffees. At first， this increases production because more coffee bushes can be planted if there aren"t any trees. With increased production come increased profits.
Unfortunately， deforesting for coffee production immediately decreases local wildlife habitat. Native birds nest and hide from predators（捕食者）in the tall trees and migrating birds rest there.
Furthermore， in the long term， the full-sun method also damages the ecosystem because more chemical fertilizers and pesticides are needed to grow the coffee. The fertilizers and pesticides kill insects that eat coffee plant， but then the birds eat the poisoned insects and also die. The chemicals kill or sicken other animals as well， and can even enter the water that people will eventually drink.
Fortunately， farmers in Central and South America are beginning to grow more coffee bushes in the shade. We can support these farmers by buying coffee with such labels as "shade grown" and "bird friendly." Sure， these varieties might cost a little more. But we"re paying for the health of the birds， the land， ourselves， and the planet. I think it"s worth it.

A.Farmers are changing the way they grow coffee.
B.Coffee is becoming more expensive to produce.
C.Shade-grow coffee is more expensive than sun-grow coffee
D.People should buy shade-grown coffee.

听力原文：M: So, what exactly are you doing to protect the elephants here？
W: Well, we have managed to raise a lot of money for this project. A lot of it is being used to compensate farmers for the damage that elephants do to their crops.
M: How does that protect the elephants？
W: Since the elephants cause damage to the crops, farmers are often tempted to go out and kill the elephants.
M: I see. So, the farmers don't have a real problem with the elephants until the elephants start eating the crops. But why do the elephants do that？
W: Well, there aren't enough trees to provide them with food on the land that has been reserved for them.
M: Mm. But if you successfully protect the elephants, their numbers will grow and they will need more food. That means that they'll need more land.
W: That's true, but we've solved that problem too. What we do is move some elephants to reservations where there are relatively few.
M: So that's where you spend another large proportion of the money you raise.
W: Actually, it isn't very expensive because we share the cost with the people who run the other reservations.
M: I see. How do you decide which elephants to move？
W: We use two criteria. The first is that we maintain the genetic diversity of the elephant herd. The second is that we transport the more aggressive members of the herd, which results in us spending less money compensating farmers.
M: Are there any plans to expand the reservation？
W: We have allocated some money to land purchases, but such purchases could have a damaging effect on the local human population, so we rarely do it.
M: What kinds of research are you doing on the elephants here？
W: We're mainly studying the way that elephants interact with each other within a herd.
M: I see. Well, thanks very much for your time.
W: My pleasure.
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
23. Which of the following is the main source of conflict between the elephants and the local people？
24. Why is expanding the reservation not a realistic option？
25. Who are the speakers most likely to be？
(20)
A．Water.
B．Crops.
C．Money.
D．Trees.

Questionsare based on the following passage.
When you think about the growth of human population over the last century or so， it is alltoo easy to imagine it merely as an increase in the number of humans. But as we（36）， so doall the things associated with us，（37）our livestock （家畜）. At present， there are about 1.5 bil-lion cattle and domestic buffalo and about 1.7 billion sheep and goats. With pigs and poultry，they form. a（38）part of our enormous biological footprint upon this planet.
Just how enormous was not really apparent until the（39）of a new report， called "Live-stock"s Long Shadow，" by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations.
Consider these numbers. Global livestock grazing （放牧） and feed production use "30percent of the land surface of the planet." Livestock —— which consume more food thanthey（40）—— also compete directly with humans for water. And the drive to expand grazingland destroys more biologically sensitive terrain， rain forests（41）， than anything else.
But what is even more striking， and alarming， is that livestock are（42）for about 18 per-cent of the global warming effect， more than transportation"s（43）. The culprits （罪魁祸首）are methane —— the natural result of bovine digestion —— and the nitrogen emitted by manure.
Deforestation of grazing land adds to the effect.
There are no easy trade-offs when it comes to global warming —— such as cutting back oncattle to make room for cars. The human（44）for meat is certainly not about to end anytimesoon. As "Livestock"s Long Shadow" makes clear， our health and the health of the planet de-pend on pushing livestock production in more（45）directions.
A．publication
B．waste
C．contribution
D．certainly
E. yield
F. multiply
G. critical
H. passion
I . concerning
J . available
K. liable
L. sustainable
K. responsible
N. including
O.especially

A Letter from Alan-
I have learnt of a plan to build three hundred houses on the land called Parson"s Place by the football ground. Few people know about this new plan to increase the size of our town. For me， Parson"s Place is special because it is a beautiful natural area where local people can relax——the small wood has many unusual trees and the stream is popular with fishermen and bird-watchers. It"s very quiet because there are few houses or roads nearby. I think that losing this area will be terrible because we have no other similar facilities in the neigh bour hood.
I am also against this plan because it will cause traffic problems. How will the people from the new houses travel to work？ The motorway and the railway station are on the other side of town. There fore these people will have to drive through the town centre every time they go anywhere.
The roads will always be full of traffic， there will be nowhere to park and the tourists who come to see our lovely old buildings will leave. Shops and hotels will lose business. If the town really needs more homes，the empty ground beside the railway station is a more suitable place.
No doubt the builders will make a lot of money by selling these houses. But，in my opinion， the average person will quickly be made poorer by this plan. As well as this， we will lose a very special place and our town will be much less pleasant.
I am going to the local government offices on Monday morning to protest about this plan and I hope that your readers will join me there. We must make them stop this. plan before it is too late.
Why has Alan written this letter？ 查看材料
A.To persuade the government to build new houses.
B.To protest about a new motorway near the town.
C.To encourage more people in the town to use Parson"s Place.
D.，To inform. other people about the builders" plans.

Like most writers, Willa Cather did not write books for the money that they brought her. but rather for the pleasure that came in their writing. Her works were, like her, simple and full of the vigor of her days in Nebraska, where she grew from childhood to young womanhood and where she developed a deep love for the treeless land of the great plains with its wild flowers, wheat fields and rivers.
"It's a rather strange thing about the flat country," she wrote later. "It takes hold of you, or it leaves you perfectly cold. 'A great many people find it very dull: they like a church tower, an old factory, a waterfall, the country all made to look like a German Christmas card... But when I come to the open plains, something happens. I'm home. I breathe differently."
Willa Cather wrote because she found writing ______.
A．simple and lively
B．opened up a road to success
C．neither too hard nor too easy
D．interesting and enjoyable
