Saving nature is at the very heart of what we do as World Wildlife Fund(WF). For nearly 60 years, we have made it our mission    1    (find)solutions that save the amazing herd of life on our planet by     2     (apply)the best science available and working closely with local    3     (community). But our work is far from done. Humans     4     (be)behind the present rate of species extinction,     5     is at least 10—1, 000 times    6     (high) than nature intended. We’ve seen     7     surprising 60% drop in the size of populations of mammals, birds, fish and reptiles in just over 40 years, according to WWF’s Living Planet Report 2018. And the influences will reach far beyond the possible cultural loss of some species like tigers, rhinos and whales. The good news is that we’ve also seen what’s working. WWF has been part of     8     (success)wildlife recovery stories, from southern Africa’s black rhinos     9     blackbucks(印度羚羊)in the Himalayas. And this, in turn, is helping to protect rich and various ecosystems while ensuring people continue benefiting from nature.

This is clear: we cannot afford to fail in     10     (we)mission to save a living planet.

6 . The air is thin and we have to rest several times on the short trip from camp. On the plain (平原), we can just see many wild animals. This is why we're here to observe Tibetan antelopes.

Tibetan antelopes live on the plains of Tibet,Xinjiang and Qinghai.Watch them move slowly across the green grass. I'm attracted by the lovely animals.I'm also reminded of the danger they are in. They are being killed for their valuable fur.

My guide Zhaxi works at the Changtang National Nature Reserve. The reserve is a place for the animals and plants of northwestern Tibet. To Zhaxi, protesting the wildlife is a way of life."We're not tying to save the animals.” he says,"Actually, we're trying to save ourselves."

Between the 1980s and 1990s, the population of the Tibetan antelope dropped by over 50 percent. People were shooting antelopes to make profits. Their living places were becoming smaller as new roads and railways were built.

In order to save the animals, the Chinese government placed them under national protection. Zhaxi and other volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from attacks. Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains.

The measures were effective. The antelope population has recovered and in June 2015.the Tibetan antelope was removed from the list of animals in danger. The government, however,does not intend to stop the protection programs, since the threats (威胁) to the Tibetan antelope have not yet disappeared.

Much is being done to protect wildlife but if we really want to save the planet, we must change our way of life. We can stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet only when we learn to exist in peace with nature.

7 . Be a Green Child

What does it mean to be green? “Green” is more than just a color.     1     Why green? Plants are green, and without them the Earth wouldn’t be such a lovely home for us human beings. What can we do? Here’s a four-step guide to being green.

Reduce It!

    2     For instance, a shorter shower means you used less water and less fuel since your house uses to run the heater that warmed up the water.

Reuse It!

Sometimes people call ours a “throwaway society”. It means that we’re a little to willing to throw away old stuff (东西) and buy new stuff.     3    .

For instance, if your baby brother becomes older and loses interest in his plastic basketball hoop (篮圈), why not give it to another family who has a little kid?

Recycle It!

Recycling has never been easier. Many communities will pick it up right in front of your house and some towns even require it. Recycled goods go to a recycling center, where they can be turned into new cans, bottles, and paper.

Enjoy It!

It’s true that rubbish and pollution are problems, but the Earth remains a huge and beautiful place that’s ready for you to explore.     4     Go for a hike, visit local nature centers and gardens, and climb up mountains.

But before you travel the globe, take a look at your own backyard. Is there a spot where you could plant a tree or put in a little fruit or vegetable garden?     5    

A．It also means taking special steps to protect the environment.

B．Many times, even if you no longer need something, someone else just might.

C．You can start locally by visiting the naturally beautiful spots in your city.

D．Turn off the water when you’re brushing your teeth.

E．Get out there and get your hands dirty.

F．You can watch with pride as your tree takes root and your garden plants grow.

G．When you use less of something, you do a good thing for the Earth.

8 . Denmark is only about half the size of South Carolina, but it produces more of its electricity from wind than any other country in the world. Denmark now gets 47%of its electricity from wind, and there will be more to come, thanks to a combination of history and policy.

Paul la Cour was a scientist and inventor who experimented with early wind power machines at the start of the 20th century. So it's not surprising that Denmark invested in building wind power the earliest. Since the 1970s,Denmark has been investing in wind energy all over the country. In the 1980s,due to a strong movement opposing nuclear power plants, Denmark increased its production of clean energy even before many other countries considered it.

Even back in 2002,Denmark took climate change warnings seriously. They drew up policies, aiming to cut fossil-fuel emissions by 20%,which they did via renewable energy investment. Some of the world's largest companies in the field—including Vestas, which builds turbines(涡轮机)，and Orsted, which specializes in offshore wind projects—are Danish, so the country has an impact beyond its borders.

The huge impact of Denmark’s wind industry is important. But Denmark is a small country, so while almost 50%of its electricity from wind is admirable, it's also minor in terms of entire global impact.

While Denmark gets half its electricity from 5,758 megawatts (MW) of capacity, Spain's 23,000 MW covers just 18 percent of its electricity supply as it’s a much bigger country. China is the leader in wind energy at 221,000 MW, and the U.S.is the second in the world at about 96,000 MW.

At the end of 2019,lawmakers in Denmark set a new goal: increasing the share of electricity coming from renewable power to 100%.

1. What can we know about Demark?

A．It is a leader in solar energy.	B．It is a pioneer in clean energy.
C．It is a victim of climate change.	D．It is an advocate of nuclear energy.

2. What is Denmark government's attitude towards fossil-fuel energy projects?

A．Indifferent.	B．Ambiguous
C．Positive.	D．Opposed.

3. Which country produces the most wind energy in the world?

A．Denmark.

B．China.

C．The U.S

D．Spain.

4. What is the best title for the text?

A．Almost Half of Denmark’s Electricity Comes from Wind Power

B．Denmark's Government Pushes ahead with Fossil-fuel Projects

C．Denmark Has a Great Effect on World's Wind Power Equipment

D．Denmark Has a Long History of Developing Renewable Power

9 . Ecotourism

    1     It is a new term in today’s tourism industry. But in an age of growing environmental awareness, it is not too difficult for us to imagine and understand this new form of holiday.

Ecotourism, which is considered as a kind of responsible tourism, is typically defined as travel to places where special and unusual plants, animals and cultural heritages are the main attractions.     2     Therefore, programs concerning the protection of some natural and cultural spots also form a part of ecotourism.

Ecotourism is developing at great speed. According to a recent report by the World Tourism Organization, ecotourism in recent years has enjoyed an annual growth of about 5% worldwide.     3     They include bird watching, hiking, diving, photography and taking part in various kinds of local cultural events.

If you love communing with nature, conserving the environment or improving the lives of people then ecotourism is an excellent way to see new and exciting places.     4     However, it looks like some smaller towns and country areas may well become the new destinations for people to visit tomorrow because they are rich in ecological, cultural and historical resources.

Ecotourism has been gaining increasing recognition and popularity mainly for the relaxing, natural and vivid experience it offers to tourists. People are attracted to nature and long to be close to it. However, a conflict between nature and human beings is unavoidable.     5    

A．The definition of ecotourism is beyond words.

B．It takes ecology and culture into consideration.

C．You may not be very familiar with ‘‘ecotourism’’.

D．More than 80 activities have been listed for ecotourism.

E．People can have great fun enjoying nature through ecotourism.

F．Big cities are still the major places that attract tourists in our society today.

G．How to protect natural resources while taking advantage of them is of great importance.

10 . Are you facing a situation that looks impossible to fix?

In 1969,the pollution was terrible along the Cuyahoga River Cleveland, Ohio. It    1    (be) unimaginable that it could ever be cleaned up. The river was so polluted that it    2    (actual) caught fire and burned. Now, years later, this river is one of    3    most outstanding（杰出的）examples of environmental cleanup.

But the river wasn’t changed in a few days    4    even a few months. It took years of work     5    (reduce) the industrial pollution and clean the water. Finally, that hard work paid off and now the water in the river is    6    (clean) than ever.

Maybe you are facing an impossible situation. Maybe you have a habit    7    is driving your family crazy. Possibly you drink too much or don’t know how to control your credit card use. When you face such an impossible situation, don’t you want a quick fix and something to change immediately?

While there are    8    (amaze) stories of instant transformation, for most of us the    9    (change) are gradual and require a lot of effort and work, like cleaning up a polluted river. Just be     10    (patience).
