22、 In Sweden, McDonald’s is building “bee hotels” on the back of its roadside billboards（广告牌）to help save the country’s declining bee population. It launched the campaign together with outdoor advertising agency JCDecaux. Six large permanent wooden bee hotels first appeared on the back of a north-facing billboard in Jarfalla in September.
“Without pollination(授粉)from bees, a third of the food we eat would be threatened.” McDonald’s said. But it turns out that at least 30 percent of the country’s wild bee population is endangered. A big problem is that they lack places to live in. Based on data released by Chalmers University of Technology, we know Sweden owns 274 species of bees, of which 37 species are bumblebees, and more than a third are in decline or face the risk of declining unless intervention would be made. Their natural habitats have been damaged by factors including the changes of agricultural activities and increased urbanization. Fortunately, most bees are able to survive in urban habitats, like the bee hotels.
Great efforts have been made by the company. On World Bee Day, May 20, it introduced “the world’s smallest McDonald’s”, Mc Hive, which could function as an actual beehive. Designed by set designer Nicklas Nilsson himself, the creation was sold at auction(拍卖) for $ 10,000 at a charity fundraiser held for Ronald McDonald House Charities.
Beehives can be found on the rooftops of some McDonald’s restaurants in Sweden, too.
This took place in certain areas but is now followed by an increasing number of participants. More McDonald’s restaurants are making an effort to improve the living conditions of wild bees by removing the grass around their restaurants to grow flowers and plants instead.
【1】What does McDonald’s do to help wild bees in Sweden?
A.Plant more trees. B.Put up more billboards.
C.Provide shelters for bees. D.Cooperate with other restaurants.
【2】What do we know from the text?
A.Mc Hive was made on World Bee Day.
B.30% of the bees in Sweden will go extinct.
C.Most McDonald’s restaurants set beehives on their rooftops.
D.Human activities contribute to the decreasing of bee’s population.
【3】How does the author explain the importance of protecting bees?
A.By providing details. B.By giving examples.
C.By presenting results. D.By making comparison.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.Wild Bees in Danger B.McDonald’s Bee Hotels
C.The Loss of Bee’s Habitats D.The Conservation of Wild Bees
23、 Feeding bread to the ducks is a fond pastime for many of us, reminding us of our happy childhood trips to the local park. But did you know that bread actually poses a danger to birds, as well as the environment? Eating it can cause our feathered friends to develop a condition called Angel Wing, which is when too much bread makes birds’ feathers grow too quickly. This additional weight puts a strain on their muscles, causing their wings to twist and drop open, and if not treated fast, they can lose the ability to fly.
“Angel Wing can be remedied if we reach birds before it has developed too severely,” says Caroline Simpson, a trustee of UK charity Swan Lifeline, which has rescued and treated more than 30,000 birds over the last 20 years. “Otherwise the consequence can be awful—such as amputations of the wing.” Adult swans can also develop gut and heart disease, so it’s important we do our bit to prevent this by feeding wild birds with the right kind of food.
Bread can also cause harmful changes to the natural ecosystem. Rotting bread at the bottom of rivers and lakes allows bacteria to breed, spreading disease and attracting rats and other vermin to our waterways. It can result in algal blooms and the presence of a mould called Aspergillus too, which has the potential to kill waterfowl and other wildlife if it gets into their lungs.
But this doesn’t mean we have to stop fun trips to feed the ducks. Giving birds the right food—like frozen peas, sweetcorn and lettuce leaves—is good for both them and the environment. So, next time you visit your local park, take a healthier alternative with you and do your bit to protect our precious wildlife.
【1】The underlined word “remedied” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.
A．reduced
B．expected
C．caused
D．corrected
【2】Which of the following is NOT a consequence of feeding waterfowl with bread?
A．Harmful creatures will be drawn to waterways.
B．Water birds will be overfed and risk losing their bodily functions.
C．The water will be enriched thanks to the nutrients in bread.
D．The eco-balance at the bottom of rivers or lakes will be disturbed.
【3】The purpose of writing this passage is to ________.
A．stop people from feeding waterfowl.
B．instruct people how to raise waterfowl.
C．warn people of the danger threatening waterfowl.
D．promote a safe and healthy way to feed waterfowl.
24、Planting trees contribute to a good environment. And correct planting methods can help a tree grow healthily. 【1】 One of them is choosing an improper planting place, which may be harmful to the tree. Some soils aren’t good for planting some trees. 【2】 It’ll help you determine the kind of fertilizer necessary for the tree.
Digging a hole too deep or too narrow is also a mistake we tend to make while planting a tree. If the hole is dug too deep, the roots don’t get enough oxygen, resulting in bad growth of the tree. Besides, a narrow hole won’t allow the roots to expand or support the tree family. 【3】 Ideally, the planting hole for a tree should be twice as wide and deep as the root ball.
To protect the roots of a tree, we need to put a mulch(护根) on them. First of all, it’s really important to select the right type of mulch.【4】 In addition, we must use a proper amount of mulch. Too much mulching may cause damage to the roots, while less mulching may result in dryness around the roots.
【5】Walk around the trees to recognize the problems that have appeared, and fix them before they go out of control.
A．Different species require different planting places.
B．Most newly planted trees die because of lack of mulch.
C．However, there are some mistakes we often make while planning trees.
D．We should make our choice based on the plant species and the type of soil.
E．So having a soil test before deciding on the planting place would be wiser.
F．The most important thing is to monitor/watch over the growth of trees on a regular basis.
G．This may weaken the tree and its ability to stand up to unfavorable weather conditions.
