Animals run free. Birds sing sweet songs everywhere, and tiny insects have comfortable homes to live in.This 3,500-acre (英亩) fairyland, known as Knepp, is the fruitful result of Burell and Isabella, owners of the land. At first, it was used for farming in the last century. However, modern farming practices harmed the land and made it hard for animals to survive. The couple realized the serious situation and decided to make a change.In 2000, the couple started bringing local animals and plants back and let nature take its course without human activities. They introduced old deer, longhorn cows, and Tamworth pigs. All of them were old friends of the land. This allowed the environment and everything in it to develop naturally on its own. Soon, the land drew many other birds and insect species (物种).More surprisingly, the couple’s efforts also helped save endangered animals. Knepp has become a safe home for special butterflies, birds, and many other animals. Compared to the 1960s, the numbers of many bird species have reduced by 90% in the UK. But such birds are living well at Knepp. “We are probably the only place in Britain where the number of turtle doves (斑鸠) is actually increasing,” said Isabella.The change of Knepp is surprising. Now it’s a symbol of hope and green living.11. What is the land like now?A. Ugly.B. Lonely.C. Lively.D. Deadly.12. What made the animals hard to live at first?A. Fruit picking.B. Human housing.C.

Bringing Nature BackC Environment in the UKD. Saving Endangered AnimalsBIt was a warm afternoon. A boy was reading a book in a busy square. As he read on, an old man sat down at his side and started talking to him.“I’ve read the book. It’s about the world’s greatest lie,” said the old man, looking at the book.“What’s that?” the boy asked in surprise.“We won’t get what we dream of.”“Really? Why are you saying that? Who are you?” asked the boy.“I’m the king of Salem. I have power from the universe,” said the old man. “I always appear when somebody is working so hard to follow his dream, either in the form of a solution, or a good idea. There are other things I do, too.”The old man continued. Once, he appeared before a miner (矿工), and took the form of a stone. The miner had given up everything and went mining for emeralds (翡翠). For five years he had been working a certain river, and had examined hundreds of thousands of stones looking for an emerald. The miner was about to give it all up, right at the point when, if he were to examine just one more stone—just one more—he would find his emerald. Since the miner gave up everything to follow his dream, the old man decided to use his power. He changed himself into a stone that rolled (滚动) to the miner’s foot. The miner, with all the anger of his five fruitless years, picked up the stone and threw it aside. But he threw it with such force that it broke the stone, and there, was the most beautiful emerald in the world.“When you really want something, all the universe helps you achieve it,” the old man said.16. What is the world’s greatest lie?A. We will lose hopes for life.B. We will surprise the universe.C. We will fail to reach our goals.D. We will make dreams come true17.

Which of the following best describes the old man’s last sentence?A. Rome was not built in a day.B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.C. God helps those who help themselves.D. A thousand miles begins with a single step.CDo you know the sun’s warmth is a kind of useful energy? Want to try using it yourself? Let’s do a cool project-making a solar tower!You can try this project at home. You just need some tape, a pin (别针), paper, three cans and two big thick books. Now, we’re going to build the solar tower. First, make a pinwheel (纸风车) with a piece of square paper. In the second stage, cut off the tops and bottoms of the cans, place the cans on top of each other and tape them together. Next, use a pin to connect the pinwheel with the tower. Finally, put the can tower on top of the books, which are 5 cm apart from each other. So there’s a gap (间隔) at the bottom, allowing the air to enter the tower.Now, all we have to do is set the whole thing near a window, where there’s direct sunlight. When the sun shines on the tower, it gets hot and warms the air in it. The warmer air moves upward through the tower and makes the pinwheel turn around as it passes by. Then cooler air comes in through the gap from the bottom of the tower, gets heated up, and rises, so the cycle goes on. This is how it works. How amazing!So next time you feel the warm sun on your face, remember that it’s more than just a nice feeling—sunlight is a powerful and useful source of energy.21. How does the writer introduce the topic?A. By listing numbers.B. By asking questions.C. By stating opinions.D. By giving examples.22. How many steps does it take to build a solar tower?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.23. Why do we leave a gap between the two books?A. To stop the tower from falling off.B. To stop the books from heating up.C. To make the air get into the tower.D. To make the air get out of the tower.24. How does the air travel through the tower? (for warm air; for cold air.)A. B. C. D. 25. On which part of a newspaper can we probably find the text?A. Science.B. Society.C. Lifestyle.D. Environment.阅读下面短文，并从六个句子中选择五个还原到原文，使原文的意思连贯、完整。Social media (媒体) can be fun, but if you’re spending too much time on it, you may get into trouble.
