Just two of the 56 wild parrots that o

10、nce lived there survived Maria, the Category-4 storm that struck Puerto Rico in September 2017. Scientists report other forests have seen great drops in parrot populations as well.In the 1800s, there were more than a million of the bright green parrots living in the wild in Puerto Rico. By the 1970s

11、, the number was down to just 13 birds after years of forest clearing.A special program was started in 1972 to help increase the parrot population, which led to the creation of three breeding(繁殖) centers. Just weeks before Hurricane Maria hit, scientists counted 56 wild parrots at El Yunque. That wa

12、s the highest number in the programs history. Scientists say that even though several parrots have been born in captivity(笼养) and in the wild since Maria, the species is still in danger.The Puerto Rican Amazon is the islands only remaining native parrot. More than 460 of the birds are kept inside th

13、e breeding centers at El Yunque and the Rio Abajo forest. Scientists have not released(释放) any of the birds since Hurricane Maria. A third breeding center, in a forest in the western area of Maricao, has not been in operation since the storm.Scientists are considering whether to catch some of the re

14、maining wild parrots and put them in the same cage as the birds that are set to be released. This way, the captive birds can learn from the wild birds how to survive in the forests. Another consideration is to release some captive parrots in Maricao, which was not as heavily damaged by Maria.1、Why h

15、as the parrot population greatly decreased in the past 200 years?ABecause of Hurricane Maria.BBecause of too much hunting.CBecause of the loss of forests.DBecause of lack of breeding centers.2、Which of the following is true about Hurricane Maria?AIt killed 56 wild parrots at El Yunque.BIt greatly af

18、n the recent interest in green buildings in the media, lets think differently. Instead of focusing on increasing the supply of energy, what if we focus on reducing demand?Can we start with ending the open-door practice of street-front shops? While cool air from these shops is refreshing to pedestria

19、ns, it carries a cost. Energy is used in the air conditioning process.So it must be possible to look for changes in regulations that would encourage more energy-saving designs. For instance, if we fix ceiling fans, air-conditioning homes could surely be avoided for part of the year. Ceiling fans use

20、 far less energy. They were in a year air conditioners could stay if ceiling fans were fixed.In homes built under the small-house policy in New Territories, the ceiling may be too low for ceiling fans. If the 9-meter maximum building height regulation were relaxed, ceiling fans could be fixed to red

21、uce energy use. Current thinking in sustainable building design and operation involves integrated(协调统一的) design, that is, bring together all parties to create a building with better performance that achieves energy reduction.For integrated design to succeed, all parties must come together and think

22、beyond each persons circle of influence. Better solutions are impossible to avoid with integrated design. Buildings would no longer be engineered after the basic architecture was built. Positive project outcomes may include reduced air-conditioning load, reduced power use for electric lighting, and

23、a reduction in the amount of materials used.We need to ask if we are ready to look beyond our own small circles and seek an improved approach to building design. By that I mean an integrated design resulting in more sustainable buildings.1、Whats the authors attitude towards the open-door practice of

24、 the street shops?ASupportive.BDisapproving.COptimistic.DUncaring.2、Why does the author suggest fixing ceiling fans?ATo follow an old practice.BTo help reduce energy use.CTo completely replace air conditioners.DTo help cut down on daily expenses.3、Whats the key to making sustainable buildings a real

25、ity?AAll parties should get started at the same time.BThe basic architecture should be finished first.CProper design and performance to achieve energy reduction.DSeeking the small-house policy and some successful architects.4、What would be the best title for the text?AWaste less, live betterBGoodbye

Actually, the past decades has seen more and more forests disappearing and g

27、lobe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable（可持续的）ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the earth healthy while using its

28、supply of natural resources.Today, sustainable development is a proper trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decades. China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chan

29、ces in the new round of the global energy revolution. It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains.In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as

30、 palm oil（棕榈油）, which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest. In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%.Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions（排放）and targets

31、 for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development.Finally, governments can avoid the huge expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from t

34、ed trains are a low-carbon development.DPalm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests.3、To full develop the low-carbon markets, government can_.Acut public expensesBforbid carbon emissionCdevelop public resourcesDencourage energy conservation4、We can learn from the last paragraph that businesses

35、have many chances to_.Adevelop sustainable productsBexplore new natural resourcesCmake full use of natural resourcesDdeal with the major challenge5、What is the main purpose of the passage?ATo introduce a new business model.BTo compare two business models.CTo predict a change of the global market.DTo

36、 advocate sustainable development.24（8分）For the business traveler who is all about efficiency: Check out these hotels that will get you in and out with a minimum of trouble. When you are pressed for time on a business trip, nothing can infuriate you more than a slow hotel check-in process. On your n

37、ext trip, try these hotels that offer a speedier check-in process.1. Yotel New YorkThe self-service kiosks at this high-tech New York hotel work just like the ones youd see at an airport.

38、 in the number of bags you are carrying and sizes, then wait for a robot arm to swing down and store your luggage in a locker (say, for a day trip). This also speeds up the check-in process if the first thing you need to do, like me, is head to a series of meetings.2. Marriott Detroit AirportAnother

39、 option for business travelers in a hurry: Marriott is rolling out its mobile check-in app to 325 hotels this year, including the Marriott Detroit Airport hotel. (Ive tested the app itself but not for a real visit quite yet.) Here is the basic idea: you download the iphone or Android app. The night

40、before, you can “check-in” virtually. When you arrive, you get an alert that the room is ready and your key, which is already tied to your reservation, is waiting for you at the desk.3. Hyatt Regency MinneapolisI happened to stay at this hotel recently and liked how fast the kiosk check-in works. Li

41、ke the Yotel, the kiosk asks you to insert your credit card, similar to an airport terminal. The whole process took about three minutes, when I left, I was equally impressed with the fast check-out. An agent meets you in the lobby with an ipad and asks for an email to use for a receipt. The big adva

42、ntage: you never have to wait in line.4. Radisson: LaCrosseThe Radisson is trying to make the kiosk process even faster, at a few select hotels like the Radisson Lacrosse in Wisconsin, you use a mobile app to register and then receive a barcode by email or text. When you get to the kiosk, you scan t
