2．Thirty-five years ago，with just one acre of land，a couple of seeds and a bucket of hope，one Nigerian-born scientist began his mission to defeat famine （饑荒） on his continent.
News of the drought across Africa in the early 1980s troubled Nzamujo.Equipped with a microbiology PhD and his faith，he travelled back to Africa.There，he found a continent ecologically rich，diverse and capable of producing food.He believes drought wasn't the only reason for widespread hunger，and that sustainability had been left out.
Nzamujo began designing a "zero waste" agriculture system that would not only increase food security，but also help the environment and create jobs.In 1985，he started his sustainable farm "Songhai" in the West African country of Benin.
Nzamujo lives on the farm and constantly updates his techniques：He credits his degrees in science and engineering for Songhai's success.But he also thanks his spiritual and cultural roots，and his father-a driving force in his life who encouraged him to pursue his studies to the highest degree and to use Songhai to share his knowledge.
Songhai has several "eco-literacy" development programs.They range from 18-month training courses for farmer-enterprisers，to shorter stays to learn techniques like weeding.People come from all over the world to study Nzamujo's methods.
After seeing success on his first zero waste farm，he expanded throughout Benin and western Africa.Today，the Songhai model is applied across the continent，including Nigeria，Uganda，Sierra Leone and Liberia.Nzamujo says they've trained more than 7，000 farmer-enterprisers and more than 30，000 people in total since it began.
Nzamujo believes zero waste agriculture is now steadily tackling the issues he set out to defeat：hunger，unemployment and environmental declines.And he wants to see it go further.
（1）Which factor related to famine was unnoticed in Nzamujo's eyes？
A．Poor soil.
B．Water shortage.
C．Lack of resources.
D．Unsustainability.
（2）What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3？

B．Give examples to the readers.
C．Add some background information.
D．Summarize the previous paragraphs.

B．By trading seeds.
C．By educating farmers.
D．By selling technology.
（4）Which of the following best describes Nzamujo？
A．Critical and careful.
B．Learned and responsible.
C．Optimistic and generous.
D．Considerate and ambitious.組卷：4引用：3難度：0.5 -
3．Known as a "living fossil"，the Chinese sturgeon （中華鱘） is a very precious species.It is believed to have lived alongside the dinosaurs more than 140 million years ago.Although dinosaurs are long since gone，the Chinese sturgeon still exists.However，the species has been listed as "Critically Endangered" on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List of Threatened Species.
On May 14，Shanghai legislators （立法機構(gòu)） passed a new law protecting the Chinese sturgeon，emphasizing "regional cooperation"，according to China Daily. "This is the first local legislation in the country to protect one endangered fish，" said Ding Wei，director of the legislative affairs committee of the Shanghai Municipal People's Congress.
Taken effect on June 6，the regulation urges cooperation in law enforcement （實施），scientific research and rescue of the species between Shanghai and other provinces and regions in the Yangtze River basin，according to People's Daily.
The need for collaborative efforts is due to the living habitat of the Chinese sturgeon.As an anadromous （溯河產(chǎn)卵的） species，it mainly lives in the Yangtze River and depends on the Vangtze estuary （河口） for migration.
The protection of the Chinese sturgeon is urgent.China began the artificial breeding and release of the fish in 1984.However，very few of the fanned fish have survived in the wild，the number of which is less than 1，000，according to a report by the Shanghai Observer.
Whether this species can be preserved depends on the natural population. "If the natural population is not well protected，the Chinese sturgeon is in danger of extinction." Li Furong，vice chairperson of the Agricultural and Rural Affairs Committee of Shanghai Municipal People's Congress，said in the report.
Since Jan 1 of this year，a 10-year fishing ban on key areas of the Yangtze River basin has been issued，covering 332 nature reserves，which includes Shanghai's Chinese sturgeon nature reserve.
（1）What is the new law passed on May 14 in Shanghai about？
A．Protecting the Chinese sturgeon.
B．Forbidding fishing in the area.
C．Increasing the reproduction of the Chinese sturgeon.
D．Listing the Chinese sturgeon as an endangered species.
（2）What do we know about the Chinese sturgeon？
A．It mainly lives in the waters of Shanghai.
B．Artificial breeding technology costs too much.
C．Farmed fish multiplies quickly.
D．Saving the species depends on protecting their natural population.
（3）What's the meaning of the underlined word "collaborative" in Paragraph 4？
A．Immediate.
B．Joint.
C．Urgent.
D．Further.
（4）What's the best title of the passage？
A．The Chinese Sturgeon：Living Fossil.
B．Artificial Breeding：Future of the Chinese Sturgeon.
C．A New Law for the Chinese Sturgeon.
D．Call for Conservation of the Environment.組卷：3引用：3難度：0.5

Melati and Isabel deeply love their home on the island，surrounded by tropical rain forests，green fields，and a vast ocean.Enjoying a swim at their local beach was once a daily pleasure for them.But when Melati was fifteen，and Isabel just ten，the sisters started to lose their enthusiasm for swimming in the waters near their borne.More often than not，plastic bags would be around them as they swam and some were scattered on the beach.They got really upset about that.
Melati didn't think much about it until one day her teacher gave a lesson on some world heroes.Each of those people had sparked movements of positive changes in the world.They believed in the impact they could have and they did inspire more people to do something meaningful.After school，Melati walked home slowly in silence，concerned about the vast amount of plastic rubbish on the beach.The heroes crossed her mind.If they could do it，we could do it too，she thought.The idea lit her up.She couldn't wait to share what she thought with Isabel and quickened her pace.
"So many plastic bags around!The beach is dirty and messy!It's so terrible!We have lost the clean and beautiful beach.Can't we do something to get it back？" Melati said heartily.Isabel felt a bit puzzled at what to do，but she also had a strong desire to do something.Picturing a beach as fascinating as before in mind，the pair jumped with joy.
They talked a lot，anxious to know how Dad and Mom would respond to their ideas.That night when the family sat by the dinner table，the sisters eagerly got their ideas across.While Mom and Dad listened to the girls carefully，their eyes shone. "How amazing that would be!We are so proud of you!" Dad exclaimed.Mom came up，gave them a thumb up and hugged the sisters.
