Passage 6(2015·新课标卷II)
体裁 说明文 话题 环保教育势在必行 词数 251 难度 ★★☆☆☆ 建议时间 6分钟 Since the first Earth Day in 1970, Americans have gotten a lot \toward the environment. \didn't know at that time that there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it,\
But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement. Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement. \says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first Earth Day.
According to US government reports, emissions (排放) from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 million tons. The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9. Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with, the world is a safer and healthier place. A kind of \thinking\has become part of practices.
Great improvement has been achieved. In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs; today in 1995 there are about 6,600. Advanced lights, motors, and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.
Twenty-five years ago, there were hardly any education programs for environment. Today, it's hard to find a public school, university, or law school that does not have such a kind of program.

Passage 1
体裁 说明文 话题 四种濒危的野生动物 词数 247 难度 ★★☆☆☆ 建议时间 5分钟 Four Wild Animal Species Were Endangered
Maybe you can still see them at the zoo. But that doesn’t mean they’re doing alright in the wild.
Tigers
All six tiger species are endangered, with Suatran tigers and South China tigers at a seriously endangered status. The main reasons for their population decline are illegal hunting and destroyed habitats, as humans clear forests to gather timber and build roadways. Only about 3890 tigers presently live in the wild.
Ground squirrels
That’s right, even squirrels are endangered, specifically the San Joaquin ground squirrel. Native to California, USA, these guys have been disappearing since 1979 on account of the construction and human developments going through their habitat. Their total population is unknown, but it could be anywhere between 124000 and 4130000.
Giraffes
The International Union for the Conservation of Nature recently put giraffes at a vulnerable status, the level just before endangered. The giraffe population has declined 40 percent in the last 30 years, primarily due to loss of habitat and illegal hunting. Some giraffes are killed just for their tails, which are considered status symbols in Africa.
Asian elephants
The main threat to Asian elephants, one of the most intelligent animals, is their shrinking habitat. As the human population grows, people invade their land to build roads and railway tracks. Elephants in Myanmar are at an especially high risk for being captured and traded or used illegally in the tourist industry. Fewer than 50000 are left on the entire continent. 1.Why is the population of tigers becoming smaller? A. People hunt illegally and destroy their living spots. B. It is difficult for tigers to fit in with their environment. C. The forests are not suitable for their living. D. The tigers are a threat to the residents nearby.
2.What’s the main reason why some animals are in danger according to the passage? A. Climate changes. C. Lack of food.
B. Human activities. D. Serious pollution.
3.The tails of ________ are regarded as status symbols in Africa. A. tigers’ C. giraffes’
B. ground squirrels’ D. Asian elephants’
4.What can we infer from the passage?
A. The giraffe population has increased greatly in the last 30 years. B. The number of squirrels is between 124000 and 4130000. C. Elephants in Myanmar are completely caught and even killed. D. The present situation of endangered animals is worrying.
