4 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。

It was a pleasant morning. Meena was leaning out of her window and feeding the birds. The roads were empty because of COVID-19 lockdown. Just then a strong blow of wind came and Meena saw something flying in the air from distance. “Is it a kite?” Meena thought. As it came closer, Meena saw that it was a mask.

Curious to know where the mask came from, she ran to catch the mask and finally ran to the beach nearby. The mask fell into the sea water. As Meena looked around, she saw many masks floating in the sea and lying on the beach. She wondered where they came from.

Suddenly Meena heard a low voice nearby so helpless as if crying out for someone for help. She went closer to the voice – it was a huge turtle from the sea, with something stuck into his mouth. Apparently the turtle was choking (噎住) and in great pain. Meena moved closer to him, without wasting any time pulling it out of his mouth – it was a mask! The turtle finally recovered from the pain and seemed to express relief from his eyes as if to say “thank you” for her kindness.

Meena was sad to see so many masks thrown around. Just then she saw a man dumping rubbish here, with many single-use masks poured out. “Stop!” she screamed. “Please don’t throw the waste here. The turtle might swallow the mask again and fall sick!” The man stopped at once. He was sorry for his actions and decided to help clean the beach. He called a few people from the village to help them clean it. In no time the beach was free of rubbish.

Meena was happy and couldn’t wait to go home and tell her mother about it. Her mother was very proud of her, and told her the importance of throwing single-use masks into a rubbish bin so that animals wouldn’t swallow them. Yet Meena was still worried. She didn’t want the turtles to fall sick again due to people’s ignorance.

注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

“Shouldn’t I stop wearing a mask?” asked Meena.

5 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Norway is to introduce new ways to protect wild salmon (三文鱼) after experts warned they could become endangered as a result of their contact     1     those raised in ocean farms.

The government has issued a report that shows that fish farms     2     (locate) along the Norwegian shore, with     3     population of more than 6 million farmed salmon, make up a significant risk to the wild salmon population due to crossbreeding and an increase in parasites.

The global number of Atlantic salmon     4     (fall) seriously at present, with its major reasons     5     (range) from overfishing, the spread of salmon lice, to habitat destruction.

    6     is reported, only about 3 million wild salmon remain in the Atlantic, down from more than 8 million in the 1980s. Vedeler Nilsen, an adviser in Norway’s environment ministry, said, “Farmed salmon have developed with characteristics that are     7     (benefit) to aquaculture (渔业) such as faster growth and shorter time to become mature.     8    , they lose other characteristics in the process. When an escaped salmon breeds with wild populations, the offspring (后代) might have a lower chance of     9     (survive).”

While the Norwegian project focuses on the immediate need to separate salmon species, other long-term plans, such as recovering the habitats, also make a big difference to salmon’s environment that     10     (destroy) years ago due to a huge blank for fishery management.

6 . The World's Deadliest Beaches

Dangerous sea creatures, big waves, and air pollution are just some of the many things you need to take caution to when visiting the world's deadliest beaches.

Cape Tribulaton, Australia

Cape Tribulaton is said to be unsafe due to its huge amount of dangerous animals. There are tons of jellyfish and it is not safe to swim near the mouths of the rivers because of crocodile warnings. Poisonous(有毒的) snakes and cassowaries have also been found. According to The Cairns Post, a 46-year-old woman is believed to have been taken by a crocodile while swimming at Thornton beach, a beach in Cape Tribulaton.

Gansbaai, South Africa

Also called “Shark Alley”, this beach is known as the world of the great white sharks. It is so filled with sharks that they have actually created shark tours for tourists. Locals claim that visitors have a 99 percent chance of seeing a great white between April to September. In 2011 a man going diving was attacked by two sharks. His body never returned to the surface.

Nazare, Portugal

Also known as “Portugal's Monster”, Nazare is a wonderful vacation destination with some of the biggest and deadliest waves ever surfed. “In Nazare,” a Hawaiian surfer told Time, “the ocean is known as a place of death, not of riding waves.” Nazare's waves are created much larger due to the Nazare Canyon. They are so dangerous that big -wave surfer Maya Gabeira was nearly killed during a wipeout in 2013.

Snake Island, Brazil

Snake Island, also known as Ilha de Queimada Grande, is home to the “world's deadliest snake”—the golden lancehead viper. Its poison is said to easily melt human flesh. Access to this island has been banned due to people being killed in the past.

8 . Sheep farmers can profit by planting trees and selling carbon credits, according to a new study. The report by the University of Sheffield, published in the journal Environmental Research, suggests that farmers with more than 60 acres of land could turn a profit if their land were returned to forest and they received £ 3 per ton of CO₂ captured. The farmers could then sell the carbon ‘credits’ to companies looking to offset(抵消)their emissions(排放物), such as airlines.

The study was released as the UK farming sector prepares to move away from the Basic Payment System to the new Environmental Land Management Scheme (ELMS), which focuses on producing ‘public goods’, such as recovering ecosystems, flood defenses and carbon storage. Carbon credits are currently being sold for £ 15 per ton, a price that could make any forest size profitable, according to the study. The research also suggests that if the UK increased its tree cover from 8% to 12%, the amount of carbon emissions captured by forests would increase by 10%.

“Sheep farming in the UK is not profitable without subsidies(补贴), but forests dull sell carbon credits can be economically workable—so it makes sense for the Government to help farmers transition (过渡),” believes Colin Osborne, the lead author of the study, “In the end, these come down to political questions of how we want our countryside to be used, how we value livestock production over the global costs of climate breakdown and how the Government supports farmers and rural communities.”

However, critics say that the study is far too simplistic, with the National Sheep Association (NSA) saying land management shouldn’t only focus on carbon emissions, but has to be multi-functional. Speaking to Farmers Guardian, NSA CEO Phil Stocker says it’s “really easy for scientists to justify the planting of forests through a carbon calculation (计算), because it is easy to measure how much carbon is in a tree and then apply an offset value”.

Mr. Stocker notes that grassland can effectively capture carbon and adds, “I appreciate trees as much as anyone, but to introduce policies to destroy grasslands by creating forests is short-sighted at best.”

1. What is the new study about?

A．Forests giving way to sheep farming.

B．UK sheep farmers preferring to plant trees.

C．Sheep farmers contributing greatly to environmental protection.

D．UK sheep farmers getting paid for replacing their grassland with forest.

2. What is the aim of the new ELMS?

A．To help sheep farmers get richer and richer.

B．To support those suffering from natural disasters.

C．To use the land in an environmentally-friendly way.

D．To encourage people to plant more trees on their land.

3. What do Colin Osborne’s words focus on?

A．The role of the Government.	B．The future of sheep farming.
C．The costs of climate breakdown.	D．The problems of rural communities.

4. Which of the following would Phil Stocker agree with?

A．It is meaningful to measure carbon emissions.

B．It is unwise to replace grassland with woodland.

C．Subsidizing farmers helps improve soil quality.

D．Grassland plays a more vital role than woodland.

9 . 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（不多于3个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

Do you ever stop and think about this big, beautiful world we live in? It's home     1     so many people and animals. We all live in this amazing place, so we all have the     2     (responsible) to take care of it, too.

A long time ago, I started thinking about what I could do to help take care of the planet. I wondered     3     I could use my talents for good. I love creating websites and making art and designing clothes. That was what     4     (inspire) me, at the age of 8, to start an online company. I donate part of my profits to organizations     5     (try) their best to save our environment. After I launched my business, I started getting     6     (invite) to give presentations to young people about my company and the environment. I also talk about something else that     7     (be) meaningful.

One thing I've learned is that a lot of people feel like     8     small contribution to any cause is just a drop in the bucket and won't make a difference. But that's not true!     9     (actual) when it comes to saving our environment, every small action counts. The     10     (tiny) thing is better than the greatest intention.
