An excerpt frm A Walk in the Wds
Nw here’s a thing t cnsider. Every twenty minutes n the Appalachian Trail, Katz and I walked (21) ______ (far) than the average American walks in a week. Fr 93 percent f all trips utside the hme, Americans nw get in a car. On average the ttal walking f an American these days (22) ______ (add) up t 1.4 miles a week, barely 350 yards a day. That’s ridiculus.

The Mega-City Envirnment
Mega-cities suffer frm a catalg f envirnmental ills. A Wrld Health Organizatin (WHO)/ United Natins Envirnment Prgram (UNEP) study fund that seven f the cities-Mexic City, Beijing, Cair, Jakarta, Ls Angeles, Sa Paul and Mscw-had three r mre pllutants that 31 the WHO health prtectin guidelines. All 20 f the cities studied by WHO/UNEP had at least ne majr pllutant that went beynd 32 size health limits.
Accrding t the Wrld Resurces Institute, “Millins f children living in the wrld’s largest cities, particularly in develping cuntries, are 33 t life-threatening air pllutin tw t eight times abve the maximum based n WHO guidelines. Indeed, mre than 80 percent f all deaths in develping cuntries attributable t the air pllutin-induced lung 34 are amng children under five.” In the big Asian mega-cities such as New Delhi, Beijing and Jakarta, apprximately 20 t 30 percent f all respiratry diseases 35 frm air pllutin.
Almst all f the mega cities face majr fresh water challenges. Jhannesburg, Suth Africa, is frced t draw water frm highlands 370 miles away. In Bangkk, saltwater is invading aquifers (地下蓄水层). Mexic City has a serius 36 prblem because f excessive grundwater withdrawal.
Mre than a billin peple, 20 percent f the wrld’s ppulatin, live withut regular 37 t clean running water. While pr peple are frced t pay high fees fr private water, many cities squander (挥霍) their resurces thrugh leakages and illegal 38 . “With the ppulatin f cities expected t increase t five billin by 2025,” says Klaus Tepfer, executive directr f the UNEP, “the urban demand fr water is set t increase rapidly. This means that any slutin t the water crisis is clsely linked t the gvernance f cities.”
Mega-city residents, crwded int unsanitary slums, are als subject t serius disease utbreaks. Lima, Peru (with ppulatin estimated at 9.4 millin by 2015) suffered a chlera utbreak in the late 1990s partly because, as the New Yrk Times reprted, “rural peple new t Lima… live in huses withut running water and use the uthuses (屋外厕所) that 39 the hillsides abve.”
It’s wrth lking at sme f these 40 mega-cities in detail, because daily life there is likely t be the pattern fr a majrity f the wrld’s ppulatin. Mst are already experiencing severe envirnmental prblems that will nly be wrsened by rapid ppulatin increases.
III．Reading Cmprehensin
Sectin A
Directins: Fr each blank in the fllwing passage there are fur wrds r phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the wrd r phrase that best fits the cntext.
Hw D Yu Knw Yu’re Nt in the Matrix?
At the heart f the philsphy f Aristtle and St Thmas Aquinas is the idea that we cme int cntact with reality thrugh the senses. But what if ur senses are nt a (n) 41 surce? Perhaps ur senses are deceiving us, and everything we perceive isn’t real but is an illusin like in the mvie The Matrix.
This 42 f sense knwledge was part f Rene Descartes’s methdic dubt, which many radical (激进的) skeptics have adpted. Descartes argued: whatever I have up till nw accepted as mst true I have acquired either frm the senses r thrugh the senses. But I have fund that the senses may deceive me 43 , and it is sensible never t trust cmpletely thse wh have deceived us even nce. And ne example Descartes gives as evidence is the fact that bjects at a distance lk smaller than what they are.
But this is nt deceptin. The sense f sight is reprting 44 what it perceives. As D. Q. McInerny says, “This is the sense f sight functining just as it shuld, in rder t give me a prper knwledge f 45 ”. Only when ne made the judgement that “the man is small and then becmes big” wuld 46 cme in. Truth and falsity d nt 47 sensry perceptin but the fact f judging that perceptin.
Anther 48 with Descartes’s reasn fr dubting sensry perceptin is that he relies n nly ne sensry pwer. It’s ften the case that in rder t test whether ne sense is deceiving us, we must 49 anther sense.
T use an example that many radical skeptics d t justify their dubt f sense knwledge. I may perceive the stick 50 immersed in water as crked (弯曲). Hw d I determine whether what I perceive is actually the case? I pick up the stick. When I d s, I judge the stick is actually 51 . But in rder t make a crrect judgment abut the stick, I use anther sensry pwer —namely, 52 —that I must trust in rder t make the prper judgment.
With regard t Descartes’s example, in rder t make a sund judgment abut the 53 f the man walking up the street, Descartes wuld have t make cntact with him thrugh the sense f tuch and measure him, which requires trust in sense knwledge.
Furthermre, Descartes’s recgnitin f the man’s small stature (身高) as 54 presuppses his trust in his previus sensry experience f the man’s tall stature. As Ralph McInerny ntes, “Descartes must trust his senses in rder t challenge them.”
S, if it’s reasnable t trust sense knwledge, and the senses put us int cntact with the 55 wrld, then we can have greater certainty that what we perceive is bjectively real.

Sectin B
Directins: Read the fllwing three passages. Each passage is fllwed by several questins r unfinished statements. Fr each f them there are fur chices marked A, B, C and D. Chse the ne that fit s best accrding t the infrmatin given in the passage yu have just read.
(A)
Abut a quarter f the wrld drives n the left, and the cuntries that d are mstly ld British clnies like Australia, and Ireland. But Thailand, Indnesia and Japan have als develped this habit.
This strange quirk (奇事) puzzles the rest f the wrld; hwever, there is a perfectly gd reasn. Up t the late 1700s, everybdy travelled n the left side f the rad because it’s the sensible ptin fr vilent, feudal (封建的) scieties f mstly right-handed peple. Sldiers with their swrds under their right arms naturally passed n each ther’s right. and if yu passed a stranger n the rad yu walked n the left t ensure that yur prtective swrd arm was between yu and him.
Revlutinary France, hwever, verturned this practice as part f its sweeping scial rethink and thanks t Naplen this change was carried ut all ver cntinental Eurpe. Because he was left handed, his armies had t march n the right s he culd keep his swrd arm between him and any ppnent. Frm then n, any cuntry clnised by the French tk t driving n the right.
After the American Revlutinary War (1775-1783), the US became independent and decided t make traffic drive n the right in rder t cut all remaining links t its British clnial past. Once America became the centre f the car industry, if yu wanted a gd reliable vehicle, yu bught American right-hand-drive. Frm then n many cuntries changed ut f necessity.
Tday, the EU wuld like Britain t fall int line with the rest f Eurpe, but this is n lnger-passible. It wuld cst billins f punds t change everything rund. The last Eurpean cuntry t cnvert t driving n the right was Sweden in 1967. This irnically caused a reductin in car accidents, because everyne drve carefully, while getting used t the new system.
56．Why did peple travel n the left befre the late 18th century?
A．They were required t d s. B．They were mstly left-handed.
C．It was easier t crss the street. D．They culd feel safer frm attacks.
57．What was Naplen’s attitude abut walking n the left?
A．Supprt. B．Disapprval. C．Dubt. D．Sympathy.
58．Fr Americans, driving n the right was a way t shw ______.
A．the cnnectin with France was brken B．the US was n lnger ruled by the UK
C．the American Revlutin War had ended D．America was the centre f the car industry
59．What is the main reasn why UK will nt adpt the Eurpean system?
A．It wuld cst t much t change. B．Its increasing traffic accidents.
C．Its influence n clnies. D．Its fast-develping car industry.

(C)
Mst managers can identify the majr trends f the day. But in the curse f cnducting research in a number f industries and wrking directly with cmpanies, we have discvered that managers ften fail t recgnize the less bvius but pr rund ways these trends are influencing cnsumers’ aspiratins, attitudes, and behavirs. This is especially true f trends that managers view as peripheral t their cre markets. Experts frm Harvard Business Schl give sme advice t managers.
One strategy, knwn as’ infuse and augment’, is t design a prduct r service that keeps mst f the attributes and functins f existing prducts in the categry but adds thers that address the needs and desires unleashed by a majr trend. A case in pint is the Pppy range f handbags, which the firm Cach created in respnse t the ecnmic dwnturn f 2008. The Cach brand had been a symbl f wealth and luxury fr nearly 70 years, and the mst bvius reactin t the dwnturn wuld have been t lwer prices. Hwever, that wuld have risked cheapening the brand’s image. Instead, they initiated a cnsumer-research prject which revealed that custmers were eager t lift themselves and the cuntry ut f tugh times. Using these insights, Cach launched the lwer priced Pppy handbags, which were in bright clrs, and lked mre yuthful and playful than-cnventinal Cach prducts. Creating the sub-brand allwed Cach t avid an acrss-the-bard price-cut. In cntrast t the many cmpanies that respnded t the recessin by cutting prices. Cach saw the new cnsumer mindset as an pprtunity fr innvatin and renewal.
A mre radical strategy is ‘cmbine and transcend’. This invlves cmbining aspects f the prduct’s existing value prpsitin with attributes addressing changes arising frm a trend, t create a nvel experience -ne that may land the cmpany in an entirely new market space. At first glance, spending resurces t incrprate elements f a seemingly irrelevant trend int ne’s cre fferings sunds like it’s hardly wrthwhile But cnsider Nike’s mve t integrate the digital revlutin int its reputatin fr high-perfrmance athletic ftwear. In 2006, they teamed up with technlgy cmpany Apple t launch Nike+, a digital sprts kit cmprising a sensr that attaches t the running she and a wireless receiver that cnnects t the user’s iPd. By cmbining Nike’s riginal value prpsitin fr amateur athletes with ne fr digital cnsumers, the Nike+ sprts kit and web interface-mved the cmpany frm a fcus n athletic apparel t a new plane f engagement with its custmers.
Once yu have gained perspective n hw trend-related changes in cnsumer pinins and behavirs impact n yur categry, yu can determine which f ur innvatin strategies t pursue Trends—technlgical, ecnmic, envirnmental, scial, r plitical—that affect hw peple perceive the wrld arund them and shape, what they expect frm prducts and services present firms with unique pprtunities fr grwth.
63．The underlined wrd “peripheral” in Paragraph 1 is clsest in meaning t ______.
A．imprtant B．marginal C．subject D．relevant
64．Accrding t the secnd paragraph, Cach was anxius t ______.

B．maintain its prices thrughut its range
C．safeguard its reputatin as a manufacture r f luxury gds
D．mdify the entire lk f its brand t suit the ecnmic climate

B．it was a strategy that nly a majr cmpany culd affrd t fllw.
C．It was the type f strategy that wuld nt have been pssible in the past.

Sectin C
Directins: Read the fllwing passage. Fill in each blank with a prper sentence given in the bx. Each sentence can be used nly nce. Nte that there are tw mre sentences than yu need.
A．There is anther, surprising reasn: increasing human ppsitin t cean-based fish farms.
B．As well as peak fish, “peak aquaculture” might be just arund the crner.
C．It has been in slw decline the past few years.
D．But verfishing, particularly bttm netting, which destrys crals and ther habitat, is a majr driver.
E．Prperly managed, the ceans culd prvide far mre wild fish than tday.
F．Virtually all f the ceans are verfished, r at their maximum capacity.
Have We Reached Peak Fish?
Seafd is a vital surce f prtein fr mre than 3.3 billin peple. The UN Fd and Agriculture Organizatin (FAO) prjects the need fr a 15% increase in glbal fish cnsumptin by 2030; its directr-general, QU Dngyu, calls the grwth f fisheries and aquaculture (水产养殖) “vital in ur effrts t end glbal hunger and malnutritin”.
There’s ne big prblem: the grwth rate f the glbal wild-fish catch peaked in 1963 and stabilized in the 1990s. (67) ______ When it cmes t the wild-fish catch, we are mst likely past “peak fish”.
(68) ______ An assessment f 1,439 wild-fish ppulatins fund that 10% are n the brink f cllapse. Anther 45% are verfished and there isn’t enugh infrmatin abut the rest t knw if the current fishing levels are sustainable. Over the past 50 years, the wrld has witnessed a massive decline in the health f its fisheries. Quite simply, we are remving fish frm the cean at a far greater rate than they can naturally replenish (补充).
There are several reasns why cean life faces such a serius health crisis, including marine pllutin, especially hundreds f millins f tns f plastics; glbal heating affecting water temperature; and emissins f CO2 making the ceans 26% mre acidic. (69) ______
S is aquaculture the slutin t the ptential seafd shrtage?
As it turns ut, this answer is n Aquaculture’s grwth rate has been in decline since 1996. While the industry did experience rapid grwth decades ag, its five-year mving average annual grwth rate peaked at 14.1% in 1996 and is nw at abut 2%, accrding t a new study in Frntiers in Marine Science. (70) ______ There are cnstraints (限制) n gd places t site fish farms, a lack f high-quality water, struggles with cst and availability f fd fr the farmed species, disease and pest pressure, and the impact f the climate crisis and resulting weather variability.

Heighten Yur Appreciatin f Music
Music is such a fundamental part f human culture that it likely pre-dates literacy, the inventin f the wheel, and even the musical nte itself. While peple generally knw what kind f music they like —and what they dn’t—it’s pssible t expand yur appreciatin by learning nw ways t listen. Here are sme tips fr cultivating sensitive awareness f musical elements.
Yu might feel frightened picking up a guitar r sitting dwn at a pian—but learning an instrument can help yu better understand hw a sng cmes tgether and what rle a specific type f sund plays in the cmpsitin. Mrever, the mvement and effrt f a live perfrmance can ften fcus yur attentin n parts f a sng yu may have therwise missed. S, the next time yu hear a sng —particularly a classical arrangement —try t imagıne it being perfrmed. Or, try t picture a scene (a thunderstrm, a race) that best fits the md and temp f the piece.
It’s certainly nt necessary t grab yur favrite musician’s bigraphy in rder t appreciate a gd simple sng, but it may help yu better understand the cntext in which he r she wrte the lyrics r recrded a track. Researching backgrunds can als lead yu t discver scial and plitical influences at the time the music was created.
It culd be hard t appreciate a warm day unless yu’ve spent a winter freezing. Likewise, listening t music requires a cntrast that helps yu better understand hw rganized and harmnius it can be. Listen t —dn’t just hear—cmmn, everyday nises. While sme may be irritating, thers may have a meldy all their wn. Either way, yu’ll return t a piece f music with a new respect fr a fcused, deliberate bit f sund.
