When I realised many people in the rural areas faced fatal impacts such as landslides, floods and droughts, I decided to stand up. Seeing climate change threaten the availability of food and water
9、in my country was a wake-up call.We are focused and very clear with our demands. We are not afraid of holding governments and corporations accountable for the climate crisis because the science is clear. We will not give up because our future is at stake. We need to demand for climate action as our
10、lives depend on it too, because we do. Farmers in Ontario stood up against a proposed mega quarry (采石场) in their land. They held festivals to draw attention, they spoke up against corporate mining which threatened their groundwater and soil, they mobilised many people to stop it and in 2012, Highlan

I hope to see more recovery projects built in the most affected communities.There are many climate movements all over the world and most have social media accounts.

16、mportance of banning the fossil fuel industry.There are around 100 tribes that live in global isolation, mostly in South America and India.The Sentinelese(250 people)have lived on one of the Andaman Islands in Eastern India for 60, 000 years. They protect their island by fighting against people from
17、 outside. Their language is different from any other known language.Another Andaman tribe is the Jarawa(300 people). In the past, they were independent and fought against anybody trying to make contact with them. But in 1998, the Indian govemment built a road across their land, and since then, theyv
18、e had more contact with the outside world.Some Amazon tribes avoid contact because of unhappy memories. The MashcoPiro left their vegetable gardens after rubber companies killed most of their tribe at the beginning of the 20th century. Those who survived became nomadic(游牧的)and started hunting animal
19、s in the forest.The Awa live in the Amazon forests of Brazil. Out of 350 members, 100 have no contact with the outside world. They left their villages and adopted a nomadic lifestyle around 1850 to escape attacks by Europeans. In the following years, farmers in nearby communities started cutting the
20、 trees to expand their farmland. The Awa lost most of their hunting land.The few Amazon tribes that still exist are fighting to keep their traditional way of life.Survival, an organization that fights for the rights of tribal people, says that uncontacted tribes are the most vulnerable(弱势的)humans on
21、 the planet and thats why their environment should be unavailable to the rest of us.After years of pressure, the organization got Brazils government to clear invaders from the Awa land. All non-Awa people are leaving so the tribe can get their forest back. But some think its impossible for tribes to
22、 stay isolated forever in a connected world. Contact will be made one day.

23、50 members in their tribe.DThey received help from the Indian government.9Why did the Awa adopt a nomadic lifestyle?ATo avoid being attacked by Europeans.BTo avoid being robbed by rubber companies.CTo protect their hunting land.DTo maintain their traditional way of life.10What is Survivals view of t

25、.CIndifferently.DObjectively.The future of space exploration may depend on an art form from the past: origami (折纸艺术), the ancient art of paper folding.Researchers from Washington State University (WSU), US, have used origami to possibly solve the problem of storing and moving fuel to rocket engines,
26、 a key challenge in space travel, according to Newswise. Theyve developed a foldable plastic fuel “bladder (囊状物)” resistant to super cold temperatures, which could be used to store and pump fuel in spacecrafts of the future. Their findings have recently been published in the journal Cryogenics.“Folk
27、s have been trying to make bags for rocket fuel for a long time,” said Jake Leachman, one of the lead researchers. “We currently dont do large, long-duration trips because we cant store fuel long enough in space.”Meanwhile, NASA is also looking to paper folding to help observe distant planets. The a
28、gency is currently developing Starshade, a foldable, sunflower-shaped piece of hardware that would help block starlight and enable telescopes to view distant objects more clearly in space.“A huge part of my job is looking at something on paper and asking, Can we fly this?” Manan Arya, a technologist
29、 in California, said. “Once I realized this is how you fold spacecraft structures, I became interested in origami. I realized I was good at it and enjoyed it. Now, I fold constantly. ”Using origami for space purposes isnt new, however. Solar arrays (太阳能阵列), experimental wings for space shuttle progr
30、ams and an inflatable (可充气的) satellite were also inspired by origami in both past and present space projects.“With most origami, the magic comes from the folding,” Robert Salazar, who helped design the Starshade and now works on the Transformers project. said in a statement. “There are so many patte
31、rns to still be explored.”12Which can be the suitable title for the text?AFolding into space.BThe art of paper folding.CSpace exploration.DThe origami-inspired projects.13How could the“bladder”help in future missions?ATo protect spacecrafts from extreme weather.BTo be used to store and supply fuel i
32、n spacecrafts.CTo help rocket engines cut energy consumption.DTo be used to improve energy efficiency.14What can we know about NASAs Starshade?AIt can be used to get telescopes closer to stars.BIt can enlarge the view of telescopes in space.CIt can absorb a stars light before it enters telescopes.DI
33、t can help telescopes get clearer pictures of objects in space.15What is this text?AA travel journal.BA digest.CA science report.DAn advertisement.二、七选五When I was seven, my parents explained to me that my sister would be different. _16_ But now I realize I see the world in a much different way, all
34、thanks to her.Throughout our lives, my sister has often got stared at because she has Down syndrome (唐氏综合征), which makes her appear abnormal. There were times when I had to struggle with her. _17_ I simply thought. “Everyone else is just staring and that is wrong. They should offer us help instead o
35、f staring at us like its a circus act (马戏表演).”I had this in mind when I was traveling alone recently and saw a mother and a son with special needs at the airport gate. _18_ They were heading towards the gate of their second departure of the day. The mother was obviously stressed out and trying to ke
36、ep her son calm while some items were falling out of her un-zipped (拉开拉链的) backpack. The son was pulling strangersclothes, and she appeared to be embarrassed about it. Then the boy began to scream, looking very scared and confused.Some people gave the son and mother strange looks, the same kind of l
37、ooks my sister and I would sometimes get. _19_ I tried to help calm the boy down by assuring him he was going to see his grandmother as his mom kept telling him. When the boy finally calmed down, I returned to my seat. At the time, an older gentleman turned around and said to me. “I thought about do
38、ing what you did, but I just thought about it. You did it.”To be honest. I didnt even really regard what I did as something different or good. _20_AThey had got off another plane.BPeople would stare at us even more.CI dont know what I should do to help.DBut I went up and asked if I could lend a hand
39、.EI just consider it as the only choice in that situation.FI was so angry that I shouted loudly at the strangers.GI had no idea what impact she would have on my daily life.三、完形填空Over the past 10 years, Chen Jinying, 90, has paid off 20.77 million yuan to her lenders.
