Pigeons inLondonhave a bad reputation. Some people call them flying rats. And many blame them for causing pollution with their droppings. But now the birds are being used to fight another kind of pollution in this city of 8.5 million.
“The problem for air pollution is that it’s been largely ignored as an issue for a long time,” says Andrea Lee, who works for the London-based environmental organization Client Earth. “People don’t realize how bad it is, and how it actually affects their health.”London’s poor air quality is linked to nearly 10,000 early deaths a year. Lee says, citing(引用)a report released by the city manager last year. If people were better informed about the pollution they’ re breathing, she says, they could pressure the government to do something about it.
Nearby, on a windy hill inLondon’s Regent’s Park, an experiment is underway that could help—the first week of flights by the Pigeon Air Patrol. It all began when Pierre Duquesnoy, the director for DigitasLBi, a marketing firm, won a London Design Festival contest last year to show how a world problem could be solved using Twitter. Duquesnoy, fromFrance, chose the problem of air pollution.
“Basically, I realized how important the problem was,” he says. “But also I realized that most of the people around me didn’t know anything about it.” Duquesnoy says he wants to better measure pollution, while at the same time making the results accessible to the public through Twitter.
“So”, he wondered, “how could we go across the city quickly collecting as much data as possible?” Drones were his first thought. But it’s illegal to fly them overLondon. “But pigeons can fly aboveLondon, right?” he says. “They live—actually, they are Londoners as well. So, yeah, I thought about using pigeons equipped with mobile apps. And we can use not just street pigeons, but racing pigeons, because they fly pretty quickly and pretty low.”
So it might be time for Londoners to have more respect for their pigeons. The birds may just be helping to improve the quality of the city’s air.
4. What can we infer aboutLondon’s air quality from Paragraph 2?
A. Londoners are very satisfied with it.
B. The government is trying to improve it.
C Londoners should pay more attention to it.
D. The government has done a lot to improve it.
5. Duquesnoy attended the London Design Festival to _________.
A. entertain Londoners.
B. solve a world problem.
C. design a product for sale.
D. protect animals like pigeons.
6. Why did Duquesnoy give up using drones to fly acrossLondon?
A. Because they are too expensive.
B. Because they fly too quickly.
C. Because they are forbidden.
D. Because they fly too high.
7. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Clean air inLondon.
B. London’s dirty secret.
C. London’s new pollution fighter.
D. Causes of air pollution inLondon.
C
I don’t think I can recall a time whenI wasn’t aware of the beauty of the ocean. Growing up inAustralia, I had the good fortune of having the sea at my side. The first time I went toHalfmoonBay,I suddenly had the feeling of not being able to feel the ground with my feet anymore.
For my 10th birthday, my sister and I were taken out to theGreat Barrier Reef. There were fish in different color1 s, caves and layers of coral. They made such an impression on me. When I learned that only one percent ofAustralia’sCoral Seawas protected, I was shocked. Australian marine (海洋的) life is particularly important because the reefs have more marine species than any other country on earth. But sadly, only 45% of the world’s reefs are considered healthy.
This statistic is depressing, so it’s important for usto do everything to protect them. The hope that theCoral
Searemains a complete ecosystem has led me to take action. I’ve become involved with the Protect Our Coral Sea activity, which aims to create the largest marine park in the world. It would serve as a place where the ocean’s species will all have a safe place forever.
Together, Angus and I created a little video and we hope it will inspire people to be part of the movement. Angus also shares many beautiful childhood memories of the ocean as a young boy, who grew up sailing, admiring the beauty of the ocean, and trying to find the secrets of ocean species.
8. What can we learn about the author from the underlined sentence inPara. 1?
A. He seldom went surfing at the sea.
B. He forgot his experiences about the ocean.
C. He never went back to his hometown.
D. He had a wonderful impression ofHalfmoonBay.
9. What is Australian marine life like according to the second paragraph?
A. It is escaping from theCoral Seagradually.
B. It depends on reefs for living greatly.
C. It may be faced with danger.
D. It is protected better than that in other oceans.
10. What’s the purpose of The Protect Our Coral Sea activity?
A. It is intended to contribute to a complete ecosystem.
B. It is intended to prevent more marine species being endangered.
C. It is intended to set up a large nature reserve for reefs.
D. It is intended to raise more teenagers’ environmental awareness.
11. Why do Angus and the author create a little video?
A. To urge more people to take action toprotect the marine species.
B. To inspire more people to explore the secret of the ocean.
C. To share their childhood experiences about the ocean.
D. To bring back to people their memory of ocean species.
D
It’s a little before8 a.m. when Mathias Schergen pushes open the side door at Chicago’s Jenner Elementary Academy for the Arts. He walks down the hall toward the office to sign in. It’s the same routine he’s had as Jenner’s art teacher for nearly a quarter century. “It’s going to be a good day,” a colleague calls out. “It’s a good
day.” They hug. It seems like a typical Friday. Except it’s not. After 23 years at Jenner Elementary, Schergen is retiring. Even on his last day, there are still art projects to finish.
Schergen leaves behind a richlegacyat this school. He’s won grants (拨款) for art projects. He turned an empty classroom into a museum. He’s pushed his students to make art about their lives. And he was awarded a Golden Apple — the most honorable teaching award in Chicago. But it wasn’t always easy. For years, Schergen taught in one of the city’s toughest neighborhoods. “When I first got my room, I noticed there were bullet holes in the window. That made me nervous,” he says. So he stuffed Beanie Babies in the holes to make it “look kind of funny”. “I didn’t even tell my wife for a whole year,” he says. “I didn’t want her to know.”
With one hour to go, Schergen piles the chairs and sweeps the floor. He cleans out the sink for the last time. Fifth-grader Deontae Barnes, one of his best helpers, has watched him say goodbye all day. He wanders in the doorway. “Ah, come here, son,” Schergen says, signaling him over. He bends down for a hug. “Thank you for making these last days special and being a help to me.”
When Deontae leaves, a reporter asks Schergen: When your kids ask why you’re retiring, what do you tell them? “I just tell them that grown people have dreams too,” he says. “I have other things in my life I have to do. It’s time. It’s just time.”
12. Why is it a special Friday for Schergen?
A. He was retiring on that day.
B. He won an honor for his school.
C. He was interviewed by a reporter.
D. He received a Golden Apple award.
13. What does the underlined word “legacy” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Art projects.
B. Great achievements.
C. Respect from students.
D. Change in teaching.
14. What made Schergen nervous when he first got to the school?
A. Safety concerns in the school.
B. The poorly-equipped classroom.
C. Being misunderstood by his family.
D. Students’ poor academic performance.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A.A Typical Day for an Art Teacher
B. Time for Art Projects
C. A Teacher’s Final Day at School
D. The Last Art Class

My high school life will over, but the coming-of-age ceremony still stays in my mind.
That day we came to school early than usual and gathered in the front of the teaching building. We first went through a red gate made of balloons, that indicated we had become adult. Our parents were invited to be present and sat beside me. After the headmaster made a speech, we were required to exchanging our letters with our parents. As tears roll down our cheeks, we began to hug our parents tightly because we realized they loved us so deep.
The activity reminded us that we were no longer children from then on. We should study even harder to bring about our best qualities.
