ADiscovering TasmaniaThe island of Tasmania is a place of natural beauty and has more than 2,000 km of walking tracks and 18 national parks. If you go on a tour, you'll discover a wild and beautiful place where the people are friendly and the food is delicious. If you don't like walking, there are other tours you can choose from including a river cruise (巡游) and cycling. You can also enjoy fishing, sailing or sunbathing on the beach.The Tarkine coast is located in the northwest of Tasmania. It's such a wild and remote (偏僻的) area that you can easily complete your walk without seeing anyone apart from the members of your group and your two guides. The area contains the largest rainforest in Australia which is home to more than 50 endangered species. It is also home to many Aboriginal Heritage Sites. During your tour, you'll come across rivers, mountain ranges, waterfalls, wildlife and long wild beaches.Tour plan:Day 1:You're picked up from your hotel in Launceston and driven to the Tarkine. You then complete a three hour walk through the forest before arriving at your camp at Mystery Creek. There you will enjoy a delicious meal cooked by your guides.Day 2:After breakfast, you continue deeper into the rainforest, passing some of the tallest trees in the world as you go, and stopping for lunch and then camping in the evening.Day 3:The exciting part of today's tour is the Tarkine Falls, a beautiful 15metre waterfall.Day 4:You can stay at the camp and bathe in the Tarkine Falls, or you can go for a walk for more fantastic views of the forest.Day 5:After a last journey through the forest, you are picked up at about 4 p.m. and you arrive in Launceston at around 7 p.m. The tour includes two professional guides, transport to and from therainforest, all food while on the tours and all safety equipment. You should buy or hire (租用) recommended camping equipment including: backpacks, sleeping bags, rain coats and trousers.1.The island of Tasmania ________.A.is always crowded with touristsB.offers visitors plenty of activitiesC.lies in the northwest of AustraliaD.is the most visited tourist spot in Australia2.On the Tarkine coast, visitors can ________.A.camp on the heritage sitesB.learn how to protect endangered speciesC.meet many people from around the worldD.see wildlife in the largest rainforest in Australia3.We know from the text that visitors ________.A.must stay in the hotel at nightB.have to pay extra for the meals on the toursC.are expected to prepare camping equipmentD.will have two days to experience the rainforestBSwimming along a river in western Florida, a newborn manatee (海牛) calls out for her mother. But the baby hears no answer. The mother has disappeared, possibly frightened away by a passing motorboat. Longing for her mom's gentle touch, the confused manatee begins rubbing against the closest big thing she can find — a boat.From his home beside the river, Richard Dash sees the manatee rubbing against the boat. He keeps watch on the animal, hoping the mother will appear. But after two hours, she's still alone. Dash calls the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for help. “A baby manatee needs its mother to show it where to find food,” says Andrew Garrett, a rescue coordinator (协调员) at the organization. “Without a mother's guidance, chances of survival are pretty much zero.”A rescue team rushes to the scene to catch the newborn, and then takes off for the rehabilitation (康复) center at Lowry Park Zoo. After arriving at the center, the manatee is given a checkup by the workers. The doctor's exam shows that the manatee, now named Kee, is dangerously underweight. At less than 50 pounds, she's one of the smallest orphans (失去生母的幼小动物) ever treated at the zoo. The baby is placed in a pool where the workers give her 24hour care. Gradually Kee puts on pounds and gains strength.A few weeks later, an adult manatee recovering at the center from an accident has a baby. This gives animal care manager Virginia Edmonds an idea. She decides to introduce Kee to the new mom, named Della. Edmonds hopes that Della will raise Kee alongside her own baby, Pal. So the workers place the three manatees in the same pool. Within hours Della is nursing Kee with her milk. Soon Kee is getting all of her food from Della.4.The manatee described in Paragraph 1 is in a state of ________.A.anger B.puzzlementC.surprise D.disappointment5.What do we know about Richard Dash?A.He's the owner of the boat.B.He's not familiar with the river.C.He's sure the mother won't return.D.He's quite worried about the manatee.6.At the rehabilitation center the manatee ________.A.is given full time careB.is becoming overweightC.is checked up once a dayD.gets along with other orphans7.What's the main idea of the text?A.Animals are in need of help.B.A newborn manatee is in danger.C.The rehabilitation is playing a role.D.An orphaned manatee finds a new mom.CEach year, millions of visitors crowd into our many national parks. With their unmatched beauty, the national parks offer people a place to go to restore (恢复) their energy. The parks we enjoy today, however, might not be around without the past efforts of a few people who supported an idea to protect the natural beauty of our country.One of these people was the naturalist John Muir. In 1867, on his way west to San Francisco, John Muir walked through Yosemite and quickly recognized its incomparable beauty. Muir devoted himself to learning as much about the wilderness (荒原) as he could. Then, he would pass this learning on to others in many articles he wrote describing the beauty of the area. In order to protect Yosemite from damage, Muir became the voice behind a government bill that would create Yosemite National Park. Soon other bills would follow, and Muir would continue his fightto make Americans understand the importance of protecting the wild. In 1901, Muir wrote a book about the national parks, which caught the attention of people all over the United States, including President Theodore Roosevelt.At a young age, Theodore_Roosevelt_had_shown_signs_of_a_passion_(热情)_that_would_strengthen_throughout_his_lifetime. During a trip to North Dakota in 1883 he saw the damage done to the land and its wildlife.Roosevelt would take his ideas about conservation (保护) with him to the White House as the country's 26th president. He would go on to create the U.S. Forest Service, 150 national forests, and 5 national parks. Roosevelt even canceled a 1903 presidential speaking tour in order to spend two weeks camping in Yellowstone, where he gave a speech calling for its protection. While visiting Yosemite, Roosevelt camped for three days with John Muir, who showed the president around and persuaded him to make Yosemite Valley a part of the larger Yosemite National Park. After the trip, Roosevelt commented that there was no better person in the world with whom to see and appreciate Yosemite.The natural beauty that tourists from around the world enjoy today in the country's national parks is largely due to the efforts of Roosevelt and Muir, who devoted themselves to an idea that has benefited all people.8.John Muir devoted himself to protecting Yosemite by ________.A.asking Americans to protect the wildB.learning about the history of YosemiteC.writing articles and putting forward billsD.catching the attention of President Roosevelt9.What made President Roosevelt have the ideas about conservation?A.A trip with John Muir.B.A trip to North Dakota.C.A presidential speaking tour.D.A camp experience in Yellowstone.10.How does the author support the underlined point in Paragraph 3?A.By explaining how he ran North Dakota.B.By sharing others' opinions of Roosevelt.C.By comparing his work with that of John Muir.D.By describing the things he did throughout his life.11.We can infer from the text that John Muir and President Roosevelt ________.A.enjoyed going camping togetherB.worked together to create all the national parksC.found a connection in their love of the wildernessD.used their fame to bring attention to the environmentDBottled water is big business. Americans consume more than 8 billion gallons of the stuff a year — and a $10 billion industry has sprung up to meet the demand. These days, consumers can choose between water sourced from Icelandic glaciers or the thawing snows of Mt Fuji; there's even one brand — Woof Water — specially designed for dogs.Of course, America's thirst for bottled water is taking an environmental cost. According to the Earth Policy Institute, producing all those plastic bottles requires some 17 million barrels of oil a year. The energy needed to process and transport the bottles rises to 50 million barrels — enough to run 3 million cars for a whole year. Meanwhile, water itself is growing increasingly scarce, making some communities to question the wisdom of giving bottling companies free rein (缰绳) to siphon_off local supplies. Bottling plants can consume hundreds of millions of gallons of water a year, seriously impacting groundwater levels —and experts say the natural spring sources preferred by consumers are precisely the sources most vulnerable to overpumping.Fortunately, local leaders are starting to take note. The US Conference of Mayors is working to manage bottling plants and monitor the effect of thrown-away bottles; leaders in San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, and Santa Barbara have already promised to stop spending city funds on bottled water.The bottling companies have launched a two-pronged (双管齐下的) counterattack. Individual brands are seeking to clean up their image: Fuji Water recently promised to go carbon-negative, and other companies are likely to follow suit. The trade groups representing the industry, meanwhile, are playing hardball: they've launched a major lobbying (游说) effort and legal campaign to try to roll back the new efforts.For now, though, the momentum (动力) is with the reformers. Last month, the issue even reached the national stage, with Ohio Democrat Dennis Kucinich chairing House hearings on the industry's social and environmental influence. With expert witnesses blasting bottling companies and accusing the FDA of failing to properly monitor the industry, Kucinich pledged to examine the state of local and national regulations.12.The author probably holds the belief that ________.A.bottled water is a big business and should be promotedB.the consumption of bottled water should be limitedC.it's good for consumers to have a free choice of waterD.bottled water industry is not fairly treated13.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A.America is thirsty for bottled water.B.The disadvantages of drinking bottled water appear.C.American experts express their worries on water resources.D.The impact of bottled water consumption on environment is serious.14.What can we infer from the passage?A.Bottled-water bans have come into effect in several states.B.The leaders don't pay enough attention to bottled water.C.Bottled water has caused much concern in America.D.Bottled-water companies are now in trouble.15.The underlined phrase “siphon off” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.A.take away B.keep upC.add to D.cut downⅡ.任务型阅读(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。

Whoever I talked to among the office workers, they plained of headaches.2. There is no regular cleaning program for the system, although this ought tobe done at least once a year to ensure that dirt and dangerous bacteria do not pollute the system.教学设计(Teaching Designs)[链接1]The term "sick building syndrome" (SBS) is used to describe situations in which building occupants experience acute health and fort effects that appear to be linked to time spent in a building, but no specific illness or cause can be identified. The plaints may be localized in a particular room or zone, or may be widespread throughout the building. In contrast, the term "building related illness" (BRI) is used when symptoms of diagnosable illness are identified and can be attributed directly to airborne building contaminants.A 1984 World Health Organization mittee report suggested that up to 30 percent of new and remodeled buildings worldwide may be the subject of excessive plaints related to indoor air quality (IAQ). Often this condition is temporary, but some buildings have long-term problems. Frequently, problems result when a building is operated or maintained in a manner that is inconsistent with its original design or prescribed operating procedures. Sometimes indoor air problems are a result of poor building design or occupant activities.Indicators of SBS include:∙Building occupants plain of symptoms associated with acute disfort, e.g., headache; eye, nose, or throat irritation; dry cough; dry or itchy skin;dizziness and nausea; difficulty in concentrating; fatigue; andsensitivity to odors.∙The cause of the symptoms is not known.∙Most of the plainants report relief soon after leaving the building [链接2]Teaching proceduresStep one●Show students two pictures of sick buildings and ask what’s wrong with thesetwo offices and how people will feel in these offices.●Ask them to read a passage about sick building syndrome and ask them to explainwhat is SBS and what is BRI.Step two●SkimmingLet students look at the picture, read the title in bald and predict some environmental problems in the room.Questions for the students to consider and answer:1.How is this passage different from a letter?2.What are the three main characters in the passage?3.What is the conclusion of the passage?●Scanning1.Ask students to scan the report ,find the names of objects that may causepollution, note the problems associated with each thing, and plete the check-list on page 82.2.
