APublic transport in New ZealandBusBuses are the cheapest and most common form of public transport available for travelling between towns and cities. Intercity and Naked Bus are the two main providers of this service, and fares start from NZ$10.Although not public transport, hop-on hop-off buses are also a popular way to get around New Zealand, especially among backpackers. Choose your pass and make up your route as you go along.TrainTrains are not a common form of public transport in New Zealand; however there are three main train lines operated by KiwiRail; Auckland to Wellington (Northern Explorer), Picton to Christchurch (Coastal Pacific), and Christchurch to the West Coast (the TranzAlpine –considered one of the most scenic rail journeys in the world). Train tickets start from around NZ$49 per person.FerryFerries are popular for travel between the North and South Islands. The two major providers are interIslander and Bluebridge, and fares start at NZ$55 for foo t passengers. Taking the ferry means you’ll experience the beautiful Marlborough Sounds on your way into or out of Picton.Ferry travel is also available between the mainland and New Zealand’s offshore islands, including Waiheke, Rangitoto and Great Barrier near Auckland city, and Stewart Island just below the South Island. In some coastal areas, ferries connect towns which are closer via water than via road – including Russell and Paihia in the Bay of Islands.Water taxis are smaller vessels which offer a scheduled service visiting the small ports that ferries can’t reach – handy for reaching out of the way hiking and mountain biking spots in places like Queen Charlotte Sounds and Abel Tasman National Park.21.

It sounds crazy, but there’s actually a very good reason. I live in a suburb（郊区）of Los Angeles, where people waste a lot and cause many environmental problems. Over time I have begun to feel unhappy living like that.I decided to see how simply I could live, so I stopped buying anything that came in a package or plastic bags. This helped somewhat, but there was still one big source of rubbish: food waste like fruit and vegetable peelings. I t seemed a waste to throw them away. So that’s why I bought the worms.I knew that earthworms did a lot of work in the soil, but I didn’t think there was much for them to do in my apartment. After reading a book about how to recycle food waste into soil, I bought a big plastic box and filled it with dirt. Then I bought a kilogram of worms from a local fishing store and put them all into the box. I put the food waste I’d collected on top and put the cover on. That night I was so afraid the worms would escape and I would wake up to find them all over the house.But that didn’t happen. What did happen was that the worms ate my food waste, digested it, and what came out was very rich soil! It was really amazing to watch my rubbish disappear like that. I started growing vegetables, and used this soil to help them grow. It was a perfect cycle and that’s how I know just how hard worms work – by feasting. Thanks largely to the earthworms, I only throw way two small bags of rubbish every two months, and live very happily because of my simplicity.24. Why did the author decide to live simply?A. Because she decided to develop a new hobby.B. Because she felt bored with such a wealthy life.C. Because she followed the people in Los Angeles.D. Because she didn’t want to produce so much rubbish.25.

She had the food waste changed into soil for her plants.D. She made some extra money by selling her earthworms.27. Which word best describes the author?A. Creative.B. Confident.C. Conventional.D. Cautious.BPeople are fatter than ever before. Obesity（肥胖症）has more than doubled since 1980. But the biggest rise has occurred in the developing world.Anyone with a body mass index, or BMI, over 30 is considered to be over-fat. The higher your BMI, the greater your risk of developing weight-related diseases like diabetes（糖尿病）and heart disease.Nearly half of the world’s overweight and fat children under five live in Asia. And in Africa, the number of overweight children under five has increased by nearly 50% since 2000.Hunger still affects many parts of the world. But the share of people who do not have enough to eat is in decline. Globally, one in nine people suffers from undernourishment（营养不良）. One in ten is overweight. If current trends continue, the share of fat children in the world will surpass the number of undernourished by 2022.Africa has the fastest-growing middle class in the world. A move from traditional foods to high-calorie fast food and a more lazy lifestyle is driving the rise in obesity. Fast food outlets like KFC and McDonalds have seen rapid growth in Africa. Women appear to be most affected. More than half of women in Botswana are overweight. Ethiopia, known for its terrible shortage of food, has seen obesity rates in women rise by 600% since 1984. Health systems in Africa, more focused on treating undernourishment and diseases like malaria and HIV, are ill-equipped to deal with obesity-related illness like heart disease and diabetes.Pacific islands have the highest obesity rates in the world, due to the spread of western fast food. Diets which a generation ago largely consisted of fish and coconuts are now mainly made up of processed meat. Nauru is top on the list, 61% of the population is over-fat, making this tiny paradise island the world’sfattest nation. Cook Islands take second place, with an obesity rate of 56% and Marshall Islands come in third, with 53%. The Middle East is also facing an obesity crisis. In Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait, more than a third of the population is overweight.Obesity is already a global epidemic and is rapidly spreading from the rich world to the poor.28. What do we know about BMI according to Paragraph 2?A. Diabetes and heart disease are caused by BMI.B. Anyone with BMI over 30 is considered over-fat.C. BMI is the greatest risk faced by the developing countries.D. People with BMI over 30 will develop weight-related diseases.29. According to the passage, obesity in Africa is caused by ________.A. its terrible shortage of foodB. its suffering from the famineC. the challenges of diseases like Malaria and HIVD. its shift from traditional food to high-calorie fast food30. It can be inferred that people on the Pacific Islands ________.A. try to avoid the processed meatB. used to have healthier dietsC. suffer from undernourishmentD. prefer fast foods to fish and coconut31. What is the best title of the passage?A. Obesity: Not Just a Rich-World ProblemB. BMI: Index of Your Body MassC. Fast Foods: Main Cause of ObesityD. Diabetes: Obesity-Related IllnessDA new study says a widely-used insecticide（杀虫剂）is damaging wild bee populations. Wild bees are important, because they pollinate（给……授粉）crops and wild plants.Environmentalists in the United States and Europe say chemicals called neonicotinoids（新烟碱）are causing a drop in the number of bees. Farmers often use seeds treated with these chemicals. The chemicals target insects that eat crops, and they do not spread beyond the field. But they do get into pollen（花粉）,which is where the bees come into contact with them.Maj Rudlof is a researcher at Lund University in Sweden who led the neonicotinoids study. She and other researchers studied bees in fields. Half of the fields were grown with seeds treated with neonicotinoids. The other half was grown with seeds that were not treated. “The most impressive result we found was that bumblebee settlement almost didn’t grow at all at the treated sites in comparison with the controlled sites.” She says there were about half as many wild bees per square meter in treated fields as in untreated ones.Dennis vanEngelsdorp, a scientist who studies insects, works at the University of Maryland. He was not involved with the research on neonicotinoids. But he says banning the chemicals may not be the answer. He says they are not as bad as other insecticides. “In many cases, neonicotinoids are actually the safest alternative. So by banning it, wh at you’re doing is forcing farmers to use products that may either be just as bad or worse.” He says farmers often use the chemicals too much, and that may be hurting bees. Mr. vanEngelsdorp thinks farmers might not need to stop using neonicotinoids completely. He suggested that the chemicals should be used only when necessary.A United States Department of Agriculture report included information about the effects of neonicotinoids. It says the chemicals make the bees more likely to become sick. The bees cannot fight the viruses that commonly affect them.32. The wild bees get poisoned with the chemicals because ________.A. they feed on the insects that eat the cropsB. they eat the seeds treated with these chemicalsC. they land on the pollen containing such chemicalsD. they cannot tell where the chemicals have been spread33. What happened in the fields where seeds were treated with neonicotinoids?A. Almost no crops grew in the fields.B. The bumblebees almost didn’t grow.C. There was an increase in the number of the bumblebee.D. There were about 50% less wild bees than in untreated sites.34. Dennis vanEnglesdorp believes that neonicotinoids ________.A. do not hurt the beesB. have safer alternativesC. must be banned completelyD. should be used only when needed35. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refers to ________.A. the chemicalsB. the neonicotinoidsC. the beesD. the viruses第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
