There is a picture：A polar bear is lying lifeless on a beach.On the shore，in the background，stand three guards，talking to each other.One of them has a deadly weapon hanging casually on his shoulder.This powerful image has made people question the motivation for this kind of tourism，or ecotourism.Does our proximity（接近） to large animals in the wild，frequently fueled by a desire for exciting images，lead to such animals becoming accustomed to human contact？If that is the case，surely the losing side will end up paying the ultimate price for such proximity.
   To my sorrow，I have recently returned from a trip to Svalbard，and indeed stood two weeks ago on the very beach where the bear was shot.The bear's death should never have happened.Was the beach examined beforehand？Was there access to flares（照明彈）to scare off a bear that appeared suddenly？These are standard measures for any operator.The incident is probably the result of a terrible systematic failure.
   Nevertheless，the incident should not negate the value of ecotourism.In its best form，this kind of travel has very little impact，or indeed has a positive effect，on the environment where it takes place.This can be by making financial donations to conservation groups，providing income to local communities，or ensuring protection of certain areas or animals.In Svalbard，visitors become ambassadors for the endangered polar bear，increasing awareness of the fact that the far greater danger they are facing is the sea ice melt in the Arctic Ocean.
   Ecotourism is an expanding market that brings benefits as well as challenges to the regions around the world in which it operates.Simply closing off these regions is not the answer.

  • 1．A first-year undergraduate student in Chengdu，recently complained online that her mother refused to raise her monthly allowance to 4，500 yuan（＄633）even when she said her current allowance 2，000 yuan was not enough to cover her expenses，sparking a debate on how much money a college student needs per month.One expert shares his views on the issue with China Daily：Students should pursue education，not comfort.
       Even for a college student studying in a first-tier city in China，2，000 yuan is enough to cover all his or her monthly expenses.In fact，for a college student in Chengdu a monthly allowance of 2，000 yuan is more than enough.According to a survey conducted by a bookkeeping platform，the average monthly expense for an undergraduate in cities other than Beijing，Shanghai and Hangzhou was less than 2，000 yuan in 2019；for Chengdu，it was 1，900 yuan.
       Claiming that she can hardly afford new clothing and cosmetics with her 2，000 yuan monthly allowance，the undergraduate student in Chengdu criticized her mother for refusing to raise her pocket money.Her "meager" allowance，she said，prevented her from buying branded goods that her hostel-mates enjoyed.
       By the time a person enters a college，she or he should have developed a healthy consumption habit.And a youth should adjust her or his consumption according to her or his family income.On a deeper level，the money they spend in college should depend on how much they value their parents' hard work.Besides，some college students could take up part-time jobs to meet their monetary needs if they feel their parents don't or can't send them enough money.In this way they can also learn to meet the requirements of life in the future and develop healthy consumption habits.More importantly，they should always bear in mind that education is their top priority in college.

    （1）What's the expert's attitude to the issue about the undergraduate student？

    A．He was critical.
    B．He was neutral.
    C．He was supportive.
    D．He was unconcerned.
    （2）In 2019，the undergraduates' average monthly expense in Hangzhou was
    .
    A．more than 2，000 yuan
    B．633 dollars
    C．less than 2，000 yuan
    D．1，900 yuan
    （3）Which of the following best explains "meager" in paragraph 3？

    A．Empty.
    B．Pitiful.
    C．Mean.
    D．Fruitful.
    （4）What does the last paragraph mainly talk about？

    A．College students should keep their expenses in line with their family conditions.
    B．College students' consumption level is determined by their parents.
    C．College students should take up a part-time job to cover their expenses.
    D．College students should deal with their living expenses problems reasonably.

  • 2．Malaria，the world's most widespread parasitic （寄生蟲引起的） disease，kills as many as three million people every year，almost all of whom are under five，very poor，and African.In most years，more than five hundred million cases of illness result from the disease，although exact numbers are difficult to assess（評估） because many people don't （or can't） search for care.It is not unusual for a family earning less than two hundred dollars a year to spend a quarter of its income on malaria treatment，and what they often get no longer works.In countries like Tanzania，Mozambique，and the Gambia，no family，village，hospital，or workplace can remain unaffected for long.
       Malaria starts suddenly，with violent chills，which are soon followed by an intense （強(qiáng)烈的）fever and，often，headaches.As the parasites multiply（增加），they take over the entire body.Malaria parasites live by eating the red blood cells they infect （感染）.They can also go into blood vessels in the brain.If it doesn't kill you，malaria can happen again and again for years.The disease passed on to humans by female mosquitoes（蚊子） infected with one of four species of parasite.Together，the mosquito and the parasite are the most dangerous couple in the history of the earth.Malaria has five thousand genes，and its ability to change rapidly to protect itself from attack and resist（抵抗） new drugs has made it nearly impossible to control.Studies show that mosquitoes are passing on the virus more frequently，and there are more outbreaks in cities with large populations.Some of the disease's spread is due to global warming.
       For decades，the first-choice treatment for malaria parasites in Africa has been chloroquine，a chemical which is very cheap and easy to make.Unfortunately，in most parts of the world，malaria parasites have become resistant to it.Effective medicines that help prevent resistance are already available，but they have been in short supply and are very expensive.If these drugs should fail，nobody knows what would come next.

    （1）According to paragraph 1，many people don't search for care because
    .
    A．they are too poor
    B．it is unusual to seek care
    C．they can remain unaffected for long
    D．there are too many people suffering from the disease
    （2）People suffering from malaria
    .
    A．have to kill female mosquitoes
    B．have their red blood cells infected
    C．have ability to defend parasites
    D．have sudden fever，followed by chills
    （3）Which of the following may be the reason for the wide spread of the disease？

    A．Its resistance to global warming.
    B．Its ability to pass on the virus frequently.
    C．Its ability to protect itself from attack and resist new drugs.
    D．Its outbreaks in cities with large populations.
    （4）It can be inferred from the passage that
    .
    A．the effective drugs are not easily available to most people
    B．no drugs have been found to treat the disease
    C．malaria has developed its ability to resist parasites
    D．nobody knows what will be the drug to treat the disease
