Last weekend, our class went on a interesting camping trip. All the way we enjoy the beautiful scenery and fresh air. However, many of us didn’t notice the badly effects on the environment due to our behavior. Some of us threw rubbish here or there, left words on famous buildings, picked flowers and spoke loudly in public, etc.
What these students did are against the spirit of eco-travel. True eco-travel is a journey in which not only allows us to express our love for nature but also needs our responsibility. As we enjoy the beauty of nature, we can’t damage them. Only when we improve our aware of eco-travel can our earth becomes more and more beautiful. After all, the earth is the only place for us live on.

六、阅读理解

一项新的研究发现，来自世界各地的动物园的26只黑猩猩可以在分开数十年后仍然认出家庭成员和久违的朋友。

研究人员表示，这些结果支持了长期社会记忆在人类和现代黑猩猩中的理论，这可能来自于我们在500万年到700万年前的共同祖先。

13. A new study on 26 chimpanzees (黑猩猩) from zoos around the world found that chimpanzees can recognise family members and long lost
friends even after decades of separation.
The participating chimpanzees were given juice while staring at a screen flashing side by side photos of other chimps. One animal from each pair of photos had lived with the group for at least a year, while the other was a stranger. An eye-tracking camera recorded where the participants were looking and for how long. Data showed their eyes rested longer on familiar groupmates, suggesting “rich recognition of each other.”
There is also evidence that they became more intent when shown a picture of a chimpanzee with whom they’d had more positive interactions, compared with conflicting relationships.
In the most impressive case, a 46-year-old chimpanzee named Louise repeatedly demonstrated “intense” attention upon seeing photographs of her sister Loretta and nephew Erin, whom she hadn’t seen in more than 26 years. The team said Louise’s results represent the longest-lasting social memory documented in any non-human animal to date.
“We tend to see ourselves as unique special creatures with incredible intellectual (智力的) capacities that are very different from other animals on earth,” said Laura Simone Lewis, a postdoctoral fellow in Berkeley’s psychology department and lead author of the study. “This study is showing us how similar we are to chimpanzees.” She noted that the findings support the theory that long-term social memory in humans and modern day chimps has come from “our last common ancestor that lived somewhere between 5 to 7 million years ago” who also likely had long-term social memory.
Now that they have definitive evidence that these endangered species possess long-term social memories, researchers have more questions, including whether chimpanzees miss the individuals they’re no longer with, especially their friends and family. “Our study doesn’t determine they are doing this, but it raises questions about the possibility that they may have the ability to do so,” Lewis said.
1. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．The nature of chimps.B．The method of the study.
C．The analysis of the recorded data.D．The layout of experimental equipment.
2. What does the underlined word “intent” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Attentive.B．Doubtful.C．Hesitant.D．Emotional.
3. Why is the example of Louise in paragraph 4 mentioned?
A．To stress chimps are as intelligent as human beings.
B．To explain where chimps’ social memory comes from.
C．To better demonstrate the chimps’ memory length.
D．To further prove the existence of chimps’ social memory.
4. What will the research team most probably continue to explore?
A．Whether chimps feel strong emotions to their long lost friends.
B．How to strengthen chimps’ long-term social memories.
C．How chimps recognised their close contacts after long separation.
D．Why chimps possess the amazing social memories.
14. Stephen Hillenburg the US animator whose childhood summers on a Maine island later inspired him to create the famous cartoon Sponge Bob SquarePants (《海绵宝宝》), passed away on Nov. 26 at the age of 57.
Hillenburg was interested in the ocean as a child and developed a love for art. He studied Natural Resource Planning and Interpretation at college, with an emphasis on marine resources. “It dawned on me that if I was going to do a show on animals, I’d do a show about undersea animals--all the ones that I’m interested in and know a lot about,” Hillenburg told Enterlainrment Weekly in 2010. “I focused on the sponge because it’s one of the more special creatures.”
But although he wasn’t sure whether people would like a cartoon about the ocean, he stuck with it. “We just try to make ourselves laugh, then ask if it’s appropriate for children,” Hillenburg told The Associated Press in 2001. “The essence (精华) of the show is that SpongeBob is an innocent in a world of worldly characters.”
What Hillenburg probably didn’t expect was that the adventures of this “innocent” character in his underwater hometown would be such a success. There have been nearly 250 episodes to date. It has won several Emmy Awards, and has been shown in more than 60 languages.
SpongeBob was popular because he appealed not only 10 children but to older viewers as well, including college students, who held viewing parties for the show. Children liked SpongeBob’s innocence, teenagers and young adults loved the show’s humor, while the more mature enjoyed it as part of meme culture. But it was above all the character’s innocence that attracted people.
The show’s most important message, Hillenburg once said, “is that innocence prevails--which I don’t think it always does in real life”.
1. What can we learn from the passage?
A．Hillenburg created Sponge Bob SquarePants especially for children.
B．Hllenburg was sure that Sponge Bob SquarePants would be a success at first.
C．Hillenburg’s educational background contributed to Sponge-Bob SquarePants.
D．Hillenburg’s childhood summers had nothing to do with Sponge Bob SquarePants.
2. What makes Sponge-Bob SquarePants popular?
A．It attracts children, adults and old people.
B．It has won Emmy Awards for many times.
C．It focuses on the innocence of SpongeBob.
D．It is about very unusual undersea creatures.
3. The underlined word in the last paragraph can be replaced by “ .”
A．wins B．happens C．counts D．grows
15. V ancouver has had a crazy property（房地产）market since it hosted the winter Olympics in 2010.The downtown area is forested with new apartment blocks. Prices have risen by nearly 60% in the past three years. But until recently developers have largely avoided Chinatown. It is an underdeveloped area. Many Chinatown residents（居民）are old and poor.
Developers now have Chinatown in their sights. Two years ago one built a 17-storey apartment building on its edge. This alarmed many residents，who had formed a group to stop the high-rise advance，now called #SaveChinatownYVR. Ms Melody Ma is its leader. Recently it has been successful.
The main theatre of battle is a car park known as 105 Keefer，where Beedie Living plans to build a nine-storey brick-and-glass apartment block. The developer promises 111 luxury flats，with rooftop landscaping and shops below.
105 Keefer is in an area rich with cultural associations. Just to the south is a monument to Chinese-Canadian builders of the Canadian Pacific Railway and veterans of the Second World War. Across the street is the Sun Y at-sen Classical Chinese Garden and the Chinese Cultural Centre Museum. "A lot of people were frightened" because of the building's "closeness to sacred sites in the heart of Chinatown", says Ms Ma. Some residents also fear that it will push up rents.
Conservationists hope that the parking lot is where they can stop development, which they say has spoil the charm of other V ancouver neighbourhoods such as Mount Pleasant. The dispute（分歧）is part of a debate about the city's identity，says Andy Y an，an urban planner. V ancouverites， he says，are asking themselves，"Who are we？And what are we building for？"The people who might want to buy the flats that do not yet exist are，of course，not being consulted.
1. What will Ms. Melody Ma agree？
A．To preserve Chinatown.
B．To rebuild Chinatown.
C．To build skyscrapers in Chinatown.
D．To promote the property market in Chinatown.
2. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4？
A．To state some reasons.B．To offer some advice.
C．To make some comparisons.D．To introduce a new topic.
3. What is Vancouverites' attitude towards the recent development in Chinatown?
A．Positive.B．Doubtful.
C．Unfavorable.D．Divided.
4. What is the best title for the text?
A．The alarmed citizens of Vancouver
B．The cultural associations of 105 Keefer
C．The property battle in Vancouver's Chinatown
D．The identity of Vancouver

研究生院生活很紧张且苛刻，对于保持好的健康造成了挑战，本文介绍了研究生院的压力，并对如何处理这些压力保持健康提出了建议。

17. Graduate school can be an intense and demanding period in your life. 1 This may make it difficult for you to maintain good health.
Keeping a balanced diet becomes particularly challenging when your daily routine runs around academic tasks. 2 Despite its convenience and lack of time, it often leads to consuming meals low in nutrients and high in calories. Thus, meal planning can be highly beneficial, helping to ensure a balanced diet despite a busy schedule. Also, remember to drink more water. The body’s need for water increases when under stress. Ignoring it can lead to failure of core body functions.
Grad students often face greater challenge of balancing grad school and health. Graduate school often requires students to spend many hours absorbed seated, absorbed in studies. This lifestyle can contribute to a variety of health issues, from obesity to heart disease. Besides, the mental and emotional stresses in graduate school often add to the physical challenges, leading to burnout if not managed effectively. 3
4 Research proves that regular exercise reduces stress, improves mood, and enhances overall well-being. One practical tip for integrating
exercise into your routine is to add physical activities to your breaks. 5 Another effective method is to join clubs or groups where you can engage in sports or physical activities. This approach not only promotes health but also facilitates social interaction.
A．Many students opt for fast food.
B．Mental health should not be overlooked.
C．The long hours of studying can easily consume all your time.
D．Short walks, or desk exercises, for example, are good choices.
E．Good health does not necessarily mean sacrifice of academic success.
F．Therefore, it’s crucial to find a balance between academic pursuits and physical health.
G．Exercising regularly is another effective tool for managing the demands of graduate school.
