Human demands for natural resources have doubled in less than 50 years and are now beyond what the earth can provide,a report warned.If humans carry on like this,we will need two earths by 2030.The population of wildlife has fallen by 60% in thirty years.
   The report said British people are consuming(消耗) far more than the earth can deal with.If everyone lived such a lifestyle,humans would need 2.75 planets to survive.People are now living lifestyles which would require 1.5 planets,though there are great differences between rich and poor nations.
   Researchers studied the global change in land use and water consumption.The UK comes 31st in a list of countries based on "ecological footprint (生態(tài)足跡)" that measures how much land and sea each person needs to produce the resources they consume and to absorb(吸收) the wastes.The UK has fallen down from 15th place in the last report two years ago to 31st place,but the WWF believes it is an increase in other countries' efforts rather than a reduction in the UK's use of resources.
   Ireland has the 10th highest ecological footprint,while the United Arab Emirates,Qatar,Denmark,Belgium and the US are the five worst countries for over-consumption of resources.The study suggests if the expected global population of 9.2 billion in 2050 were to eat a Malaysian diet,1.3 planets would be needed but if everyone were to eat an Italian diet,humans would need almost two planets.Those countries that can provide the highest quality of life using the lowest amount of resources will not only serve the global interest,but will be the leaders in a resource-limited world.

(1)We will probably need
B
B
earths if we follow the British lifestyle.
A.1.3
B.2.75
C.2
D.1.5
(2)What do we know about "ecological footprint "?

B.It is used to produce the resources and absorb the wastes.
C.We can know the total amount of resources on the earth through it.
D.It is about changes in land use and water consumption across the globe.
(3)The WWF believes that
B
B

A.the earth won't be able to meet human needs after 50 years.
B.the UK has possibly not reduced the use of resources over the past two years.
C.Ireland has a lower ecological footprint than the UK.
D.there are no big differences in lifestyle between rich and poor nations.
(4)It can be learned from the text that Malaysia
B
B

  • 1.    Have you learned a lot of English words?Well,many more are being created right now!
        Neologisms appear all the time,especially linked to new technology.This not only represents more work for you but also annoys some native speakers of English.
       Every age has its purists.Tom Chatfield,author of Netymology:A Linguistic Celebration of the Digital World,says that in the16th Century,many people disliked neologisms with foreign influences.The poet Richard Willies said that they were"smelling too much of the Latin".
       In the19th Century,the English poet William Barnes suggested that the word"photograph"should be replaced by"sun print"in order to achieve proper "Englishness".It didn't catch on.
       Now the debate about speech and writing is livelier than ever,says Mr.Chatfield.He thinks the Digital Revolution is as significant as the Industrial Revolution,and there are many inventions and processes which have to be named.
       From text messages and email to chat rooms and video games,technology has over the past few decades brought about an extraordinary new area of verbal exchange.It is not so much about foreign influence but informality and abbreviation.The Oxford English Dictionary acknowledged in 2011 the use of initials such as"oh my God"(OMG),"laughs out loud"(LOL) and"for your information"(FYI).
       We are moving away from spoken words and towards the act of typing on to a screen.We've already grown so used to saying phrases like dotcom out loud that we forget we are speaking punctuation marks.And punctuation took a life of its own with emotions.
       The speed of communication today is matched by the speed with which new words are taken up.Bicycles,automobiles and telephones took decades to become a part of daily life as words and objects.With online offerings,new words are adopted in a matter of months.The verb"to google"has become a part of dozens of languages across the world.
       Where habit leads,language follows.Only time will tell what lasts.Meanwhile,as a student of the English language,you've got a lot of catching up to do.

    (1)What does the underlined word"Neologisms"in Paragraph 2 refer to?

    A.New words.
    B.Old words.
    C.Strange words.
    D.Technological words.
    (2)How does the author prove his opinion?

    A.By experimenting.
    B.By giving examples.
    C.By asking and answering.
    D.By telling stories.
    (3)What's the author's attitude to the new words?

    A.Disappointed.
    B.Concerned.
    C.Subjective.
    D.Objective.
    (4)Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

    A.How to Learn New Words
    B.How to Invent New Words
    C.New Words,Good or Bad
    D.New World,New Words

  • 2.When did you last stop to look at a tree?Really look at it ,not merely notice it.Trees play such an important role in our lives and yet day to day we often don' t even notice them;we often take them for granted.Yet if you are looking to strengthen your grounds ,reduce pollution around your school ,improve your children's health and wellbeing and develop your science subject ,then planting trees is certainly the way forward.
       The first and most obvious benefit of starting a tree -planting program is the environmental impact.Children are enthusiastic,and often highly knowledgeable about climate change and the main causes of it.They are also interested in projects that can make a difference to their community' s carbon footprints.Planting trees is an easy and long-lasting way to involve pupils and to have a positive impact on the climate.
       A tee-planting program also offers teachers the opportunity to discuss biodiversity (生物多樣性) and gives pupils the chance to get involved in an actual example.It' s a real-life science experiment and will provide children with amazing habitats to study in science lessons for years to come.
       Planting trees can also have a positive impact on children' s mental health.One in four people in the UK will experience mental health issues at some point in their lives and one in 10 children aged 5-1 6 have a diagnosable (可診斷的) mental health condition ,according to The Children' s Society.Mental health is a complex issue with many causal factors and no simple solutions.However ,according to the Mental Health Foundation ,the opportunity to play and learn in outdoor environments has been quoted in research studies as a significantly positive influence.
       Being active will also improve children' s general health and wellbeing,as well as increasing engagement more generally by providing an enjoyable context for learning.Parents and the community ,o,will enjoy the improved beauty of the school grounds.

    (1)What can children do to contribute to the community' s efforts to cut carbon footprints?

    A.Reduce their daily activities.
    B.Attend tree-planting projects.

    D.Encourage more people to take action.
    (2)How can a tree planting program benefit teachers?

    B.By supplying them with habitats to study.
    C.By providing them with real examples of biodiversity.
    D.By giving them chances to communicate with students.
    (3)What can we infer from Paragraph 4?

    A.Outdoor activities can benefit children' s mental health.
    B.Children' s playtime is reducing gradually in recent years.
    C.Planting trees is a perfect way to improve the environment.
    D.Few people in the UK pay much attention to mental health.
