4 . The Power of Small: How Smaller Organizations Can Make a Difference in the Environment

Corporate social responsibility initiatives are in the consciousness of most large, medium-sized or small organizations.

    1     As part of their corporate social responsibility initiatives, companies often take part in adopt-a-tree activities, wherein employees either actively participate in the tree planting campaigns, or trees are adopted and taken care of on behalf of employees, or even as corporate gifts.

In addition to other environmental initiatives, businesses can also foster environmentally sustainable work practices to contribute to the environment actively and consciously. This is something that businesses of any size, small or big, can adopt.     2     In order to do this, businesses can work towards streamlining their manufacturing processes. Production efforts in particular could be reworked in a way that uses fewer materials, or they are extracted and used in a way that significantly reduces the impact of those existing processes on the environment.

While smaller organizations face different challenges both from business, as well as operations point of view, efforts for ecological conservation or preserving environmental health don’t have to be restricted to larger firms only.

Helping the environment does not have to be expensive, even if it is done on a corporate scale! While larger organizations do their bit for environment conservation, small businesses need not be far behind. Each one can promote healthy environmental practices and suggest improvements in the workplace while fostering an attitude that understands climate change, its impacts, and actively works towards eradicating them.     3    

Programmes that help the environment, which small businesses could partake in, could range from even something as small to understanding basic waste and garbage, to actively participating in cleaning drives.     4    

A．EcoMatcher is one such organization that encourages companies to promote corporate tree planting and promote tree gifting as rewards.

B．Regardless of the service or product offered by an organization, they can adopt sustainable development goals and targets.

C．Adopt-a-tree programmes are growing in popularity as the world becomes increasingly cognizant of the ill effects of rapidly increasing climate change.

D．Businesses can make a positive environmental impact in many ways.

E．No gesture is too small to help the environment; it is by the combination of many such small gestures that a significant impact is made.

F．This practice not only creates a positive environment but makes it easier for employees engaged in the job of waste segregation to feel involved.

8 . Despite the fact that there were a lot of great Hong Kong movies and singers in the 1990s, Hong Kong has been called a cultural desert for quite a long time.

But since the handover, the situation has changed. Currently known as one of the world’s top international financial centers, Hong Kong also wants to achieve the status of a global art center.

Galleries from the Chinese mainland began to come to Hong Kong in 2008. After three years, international galleries also set their sights on Hong Kong. Within three months, 10 international galleries opened locations.

After Art Basel, an international art fair, launched in Hong Kong in 2013, the region became one of the three global art markets, after New York and London. The Hong Kong Tourism Board seized the opportunity to make art the region’s new cultural and tourism product. “Art March” became a regular art festival along with Art Basel and Art Central, an event showcasing talent from innovative galleries.

In just 25 years, commercial art in Hong Kong has seen a lot of development. The number of galleries has increased from 10 to hundreds. Famous auction（拍卖）houses have also set up offices in Hong Kong, all of which represent Hong Kong’s flourishing art trade.

In the past couple of years, Hong Kong’s museums and art galleries have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

In 2021, Hong Kong’s new landmark cultural and art project - the M+ Museum - officially opened. It has received positive feedback from people in Hong Kong. It is the world’s largest museum dedicated to modern visual art from Asia.

What’s more, in July this year, the Hong Kong Palace Museum will also be completed. With a new curatorial （策展）approach of presenting both global and local perspectives, it will promote the public’s appreciation for Chinese art and culture.

1. What opportunity did the Hong Kong Tourism Board seize to promote art?

A．The launch of Art March as an art festival.

B．The increased value of artworks auctioned.

C．The flourishing art market in Hong Kong in 2010s.

D．The Chinese mainland opening galleries in Hong Kong.

2. What do we learn about the Hong Kong Palace Museum?

A．It officially opened in 2021.

B．It is the largest museum of its kind in Asia.

C．It received local and global positive feedback.

D．It aims to boost people’s love for Chinese art and culture.

3. What is the text mainly about?

A．The benefits art has brought to Hong Kong.

B．Hong Kong’s famous cultural and art projects.

C．The fast development of art in Hong Kong.

D．The factors that make Hong Kong a global art center.

4. Which section can you read about the passage in the newspaper?

9 . There are many interconnected links between Earth and space exploration. The Earth and Space Foundation (基金会), was founded for the purposes of developing such links by field research and direct practical action.

Projects that have been supported by the Foundation include environmental projects using technologies of space exploration: satellite communications, GPS, remote sensing, advanced materials and power sources. For example, the people of Guatemala are faced with the loss of the forests on which their livelihood depends. Rather than opposing economic progress and trying to save the forests on their own strengths, one new approach is to improve the value of the forests. The Foundation has previously given a fund to a group of explorers that used remote sensing to plan eco-tourism routes in the forests of Guatemala, thus bringing income to the local populations through tourism. This novel approach is now making the protection of the forests a reasonable economic decision.

The Foundation funds many archaeological (考古学的) field projects, which reflect the contributions of the early civilization to astronomy (天文学) and space sciences. The Foundation helped fund a large archaeology project by the Society for Syrian Archaeology at the University of California, Los Angeles. It worked with the Syrian government and used GPS and satellite imagery to locate banks of earth, or ‘tels’, containing treasures and relics of ancient civilizations. These collections are being used to build a better picture of the nature of the civilizations that gave birth to astronomy.

Field research also applies the Earth’s environmental and biological resources to the human exploration and settlement of space. This may include the use of remote environments on Earth, as well as physiological and psychological studies in harsh environments. In one research project, the Foundation gave financial support to an international caving expedition to study the psychology of explorers in caves in Mexico for a period of time. The results of the tests were used by the NASA Johnson Space Center to improve US astronaut selection standard. Besides, a Mars-like programme has been launched in one area in the Arctic, whose environment is similar to the Mars’, to test communications and exploration technologies in preparation for the human exploration of Mars.

1. What do we know about the novel approach in the Guatemala project?

A．It opposed the development of economy.

B．It reduced the impact of tourists on the forests.

C．It showed that preserving the forests can be profitable.

D．It gave the Foundation greater control over the forests.

2. Why were GPS and satellite imagery used in the Syrian project?

A．To explore land that is hard to reach.	B．To find ancient items buried under the earth.
C．To limit the impact of archaeological activity.	D．To rebuild the picture of all the civilizations.

3. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．The space environment is as tough as the environment on Earth.

B．It is unlikely to test the technologies needed to explore Mars on Earth.

C．The length of time in caves certainly leads to the best astronaut selection standard.

D．Space-like environments on Earth may help us understand how to operate in the space.

4. What is the writer’s purpose in the passage?

A．To encourage people to explore the space.	B．To introduce the function of the Foundation.
C．To persuade people to study the caves.	D．To show the importance of space exploration.
