In a world simultaneously on fire and underwater thanks to climate change, scientists have announced some good news: Several important tuna (金枪鱼) species have stepped back from the edge of extinction.
The unexpectedly fast recovery speaks to the success of efforts over the past decade to end overfishing. But tuna are not the only species scientists are discussing at the 2021 World Conservation Congress in Marseille, France, which is organized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Researchers caution that many other marine species remainimperiled. For instance, more than a third of the world's sharks remain threatened with extinction due to overfishing, habitat loss, and climate change.
“I think the good news is that sustainable fisheries are possible,” says Beth Polidoro, a marine biologist at Arizona State University. “We can eat fish in a proper way and without driving the population to the point where it is on the road to collapse or extinction."At the same time, she warned that the changes in status should not be an reason to catch as many fish as we want.
The IUCN, which ranks the world's most endangered species on its Red List of Threatened Species and is backed by 16,000 experts across the globe, also announced at the meeting that some animals are moving in the other direction, onto the Red List. One notable example is the Komodo dragon, an island-living lizard at particular risk from climate change.
For the better part of two decades, Polidoro has been part of a specialist group tasked with assessing the
statuses of more than 60 species of tuna and billfishes for the IUCN.Her team announced its first comprehensive findings in 2011, mentioning that a number of commercially fished tuna species were dangerously close to disappearing.According to the new data, the Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus), once listed as endangered, now qualifies for a status of least concern. As does the yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) and albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga), which were both considered near-threatened the last time they were assessed.
4. What does the underlined word “imperiled” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Endangered
B. Conserved
C. Extinct
D. Safe
5. What can we infer from Polidoro's words?
A. Too many fish are being eaten by human beings.
B. Eating fish does not necessarily lead to its extinction.
C. Fish species are on the edge of dying out if no action is taken.
D. The situation of underwater species are changing for the better.
6. Which of following statement is true according to the passage?
A. Some Tuna species are wiped out by overfishing.
B. Tuna are ranked as the world's most endangered species.
C. Climate change poses a threat to most species in water and on land.
D. Three tuna species have been saved from extinction according to the data.
7. What's the main idea of the passage?
A. Some tuna species are reported endangered recently.
B. IUCN has helped saved a great many marine species.
C. Improvement has been made in saving marine species.
D. Great efforts should be made to conserve species underwater.
C
Las Vegascity inNevadais built in a desert. The city may be known to the outside world for its partying. But officials have found that there are 21 square kilometers of useless grass. The grass is never laid on, played on or even stepped on. The grass is only there to look nice.
Now, the city is asking theNevadastate legislature to ban useless grass. It is trying to become the first place inAmericato ban that kind of grass often seen between streets, in housing developments and in office parks.
It is estimated that useless grass makes up 40% of all the grass inLas Vegasand it needs a lot of water to
survive. Grass needs four times more water than dry climate plants like cactus. By tearing out the grass, the city could reduce yearly water usage by 15%.
In 2003, the Southern Nevada Water Authority banned developers from planting grass in front of new homes. It also offered homeowners $ 30 for each square meter of grass they tear out. But fewer people are now using the program. Water usage has increased in southernNevadaby 9% since 2019. And last year,Las Vegaswent a record 240 days without major rainfall. The Colorado River provides much ofNevada's drinking water. The river could lose more water as climate change affects it.
Water officials in other dry cities said water usage needs to be reduced. But they fear the reaction to reforms like the ones inLas Vegasif their communities do not accept them. Cynthia Campbell is the water resources adviser for the city ofPhoenixinArizona. “There might come a point when city restrictions get too severe for some residents. They'll say that is the point of no return for them,”Campbellsaid. “For some people, it's a pool. For some people, it's grass.”
8. Why doesLas Vegascity try to ban useless grass?
A. To protect the local people.
B. To beautify the city.
C. To reduce water usage.
D. To reduce waste.
9. What program was carried out inLas Vegasin 2003?
A. Allowing planting grass before new houses.
B. Encouraging the residents to tear out grass.
C. Praising those who signed on the program.
D. Awarding those who reduced water usage.
10. What is implied inCampbell's words in the last paragraph?
A. Many residents won't follow the ban.
B. Reaction to the reform will vary personally.
C. Other measures should be taken to protect wetter.
D. Water officials should take many factors into account.
11. What is the best title for the text?
s VegasPlans to Ban Useless Grass
B. A Method Is Adopted to SaveLas Vegas
C. Choices between Beauty and Practice
D. Grass Is Important but Useless inLas Vegas
D
A trip to thelibrary was like a great journey to a different country. To get there, we had to walk a mile. But our weekly journeys to the library were a piece of perfection. I had around me at one time all the people I loved best-my father and mother and brothers and sister--and all the things I loved best- quiet, space and books.
I read a lot of books about science: not the spaceships my brothers preferred, but the birds and the bees--literally. I brought home a book of birds and searched the trees for anything other than robins (知更鸟). I went through a phrase of loving books with practical science experiments and used up a whole bottle of white vinegar by pouring it on the sides of our apartment building to prove that it was constructed of limestone (石灰石).
One Saturday, as I wandered through the young adult section, I saw a title: Little Women, by Lousia May Alcott. I had learned from experience that titles weren’t everything. A book that sounded great on the shelf could be dull once you got it home. So I sat in a chair near the shelves to skim the first paragraphs.
I read and read and read Little Women until it was time to walk home, and, except for a few essential interruptions like sleeping and eating, I did not put it down until the end. Even the freedom to watch weekend television held no appeal for me in the wake of Alcott' s story. It was about girls, for one thing, girls who could almost be like me, especially Jo. I had found someone who thought and felt the way I did.
12. What can we say about the author’s family?
A. They enjoyed traveling abroad.
B. They were library frequenters.
C. They were very fond of walking.
D. They led a perfectly quiet life.
13. What does the author mainly want to show in paragraph 2?
A. Her different hobbies from her brothers.
B. How she conducted science experiments.
C. Why she loved books about the birds and the bees.
D. Her reading interests during a particular period of time.
14. What opinion does the author hold on books?
A. Book titles can sometimes be misleading.
B. Science books are as interesting as novels.
C. The first few paragraphs of a book are attractive.
D. Books seem duller when read in libraries than at home.
15. How would the author describe Little Women?
A. It helped her to discover her true character.
B. It made her forget about food and sleep.
C. It inspired confidence in her.
D. It kept her absorbed.

第二节书面表达（满分25分）
52.阅读下面短文，根据内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Not everyone is lucky and can claim that they share a great relationship with their own parents. As you age, your points of view on life may greatly differ from those of your parents. Due to the generation gap, there is a huge possibility of misunderstandings between parents and children. All these can lead to conflicts. So what can you do to get along well with your parents as a teenager?
First, make sure that your behavior is responsible and mature. Carry out the duties your parents have assigned to you. If you complete your daily chores on time, you will realize your parents don't blame you so much! Don't go out of the way to do something which your parents have forbidden you from doing.
As you enter your mid-teens, you will realize you want to be independent, from choosing what to eat for breakfast, to buying your clothes, and making new friends. This change is going to cause a conflict between you and your parents. Keep in mind that parents will not agree to your decisions right away. You will feel you have controlling parents, and that there is no way out of the situation. To avoid further conflicts, talk to them. Hear them out. It's the best way to solve a lot of problems. In addition, calm yourself down when conflicts occur. It might take some time for your parents to realize that their little kid is growing up and is entitled to his or her own opinions.
Make it a point to talk to your parents every day about your school life, friends, your day-to-day activities, your teachers, just about anything. If you're stressed about any problem at school, discuss it with your parents. They are the best people to help you out and deal with it.
In a word, love and respect your parents for what they are and everything they've done for you, and no doubt, they'll in turn respect you for turning into responsible adults.
