• 3．The African penguin lives on St.Croix island off the east coast of South Africa.A new study has found that they are leaving their natural environment to escape noisy ship refueling （補(bǔ)給燃料）activities.
     The African penguins once mainly raised babies on this island.But the population has dropped sharply since South Africa started permitting ships in the area to refuel at sea six years ago，the study found.
     Lorien Pichegru is acting director of the Coastal and Marine Research Institute at Nelson Mandela University，which led the study.She said the organization had found that noise levels in the area had doubled since the refueling activities began.Scientists say high noise levels affect the ability of penguins to find and catch other animals for food.Noise also makes it more difficult for them to communicate with each other and map travel paths. "This year we are at 1，200 breeding pairs at St Croix from 8，500 pairs in 2016， "Pichegru said.
    The study recently appeared in the publication Science of the Total Environment.The researchers said the study is the first to explore the effects of ocean traffic noise pollution on a seabird.
     Nelson Mandela University's study collected some data to estimate underwater noise from passing ships.Oil-covered penguins were found in 2019 in Algoa Bay after an oil spill from ship-to-ship refueling.Environmental groups have called for the activities to be banned in the bay.
     Pichegru said penguins in the area were already struggling to survive because of a series of issues，including industrial fishing activities.She added that the refueling activities did not kill all the penguins.However， "It was just the thing that made the whole ecology tip over and then the penguins couldn't cope with that， " she said.
  
  （1）What has the new study found about penguins ？

  
  A．They have difficulty in raising babies.
  B．They can get used to noisy ships easily.
  C．Their population is on the increase.
  D．They are forced to leave the natural environment.

  A．The value of Lorien Pichegru's job.
  B．The importance of ship refueling activities.
  C．The ability of Penguins to find food.
  D．Bad effects of noises on Penguins.
  （3）What might Pichegru agree with ？

  
  A．The penguins should be put in control.
  B．Fishing activities should be greatly encouraged.
  C．Refueling activities should be strictly managed.

• 4．"Red tourism"，a new form of tourism in which people visit locations and memorials（紀(jì)念碑）of historical significance to the Communist Party of China，has given a much-needed shot in the arm of the domestic（國內(nèi)的）tourism industry in summer.And red tourism will be more popular during the National Day Golden Week holiday.
     Ticket bookings for red tourism sites in June increased by five times with local and short trips to red tourism sites being the choice of about 88 percent of such tourists.And the search for the term "red tourism" on Mafengwo，a Chinese travel service and social-networking platform，increased by 300 percent during the summer holidays.
     Red tourism is not only about the joy of visiting a new place and taking in the wonderful sights.It is also about gaining knowledge about history and being inspired by the stories of the people who gave their lives to the founding of the People's Republic in 1949 and worked for the wellbeing of the Chinese people.By rediscovering history and passing on the stories of the Chinese revolution and its heroes to the next generations，people can uplift their spirit.
     Red tourism can also be used as an opportunity to develop rural （農(nóng)村的） areas because most of the revolutionary bases and red tourism sites are in the countryside.It can raise the incomes of local people.Since red tourism creates jobs and helps increase farmers' incomes，it can develop local development.
     Data show that in the first half of 2022，more than 30 percent of all tourists visited red tourism sites in rural areas，which was 10 percent more than the last year.Yet red tourism faces certain developmental problems，mainly because some local government officials have failed to make the best use of red tourism resources for local development.
  
  （1）What can we know about red tourism？

  
  A．It has brought life to tourism.
  B．It is not popular with the young.
  C．It is a traditional form of tourism.
  D．It is about visiting beautiful scenery.
  （2）Why does the author list the numbers in paragraph 2？

  
  A．To describe a scene.
  B．To prove his idea.
  C．To illustrate the story.
  D．To introduce a platform.
  （3）What is the benefit of red tourism for rural areas？

  
  A．It can help improve farming facilities.
  B．Local people can make more money.
  C．It can offer job opportunities to visitors.
  D．Local people can receive much help from society.
  （4）What will be mentioned in the following paragraphs？

  
  A．More and more people will choose red tourism.
  B．Many travel companies will benefit from red tourism.
  C．Some measures should be taken to solve problems.
  D．More red tourism sites should be open to the public.

• 5．In 2010，a huge earthquake hit Haiti，causing the deaths of over a hundred thousand people and millions of dollars' worth of damage.（1）

  On this occasion，funds were raised with amazing speed--within a week of the quake，the American Red Cross had raised ＄22 million.The reason？People were donating via their mobile phones.
     （2）

  Gone are the days when people donated door by door.In today's world of computers，smartphones，tablets，and smartwatches，charities can now reach more people than ever before.
      Social media in particular has had a great impact on charity.（3）

  This enables charities to raise money extremely quickly，as in Haiti.And the quicker aid can be delivered，the more lives can be saved.Individual fundraising has also benefited.Most people are now so well-connected through sites like Facebook that asking people to contribute to your chosen cause is easier than ever.
     New，innovative ways of donating are being thought up all the time.For example，if you want to support a good cause and keep fit at the same time，you can use an app called Charity Miles.（4）

  For every kilometer you cover，the app's sponsors will make a donation to a charity of your choice.There's also Snapdonate，which allows users to donate simply by taking a photo of a charity's logo with their smartphone.The app recognizes the logo and allows users to immediately make a donation through their phones.This cuts out the need for entering payment details on charity websites，and makes the process of donating small amounts to multiple charities much simpler.
     Apps like these are growing in number，and that can only be a good thing.（5）

  
  
  A.People were eager to aid others in trouble.
  B.The app can track the distance you run or cycle.
  C.News of disasters spreads quickly around the world.

第七題 概要寫作（滿分20分）

• 19．閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)內(nèi)容寫一篇60詞左右的內(nèi)容概要。
     For thousands of years，people have tried to control water by building dams.Dams allow people to collect and store water for use at home，in industry，and in agriculture.For example，when people build a dam on a river，a reservoir（水庫） collects water that can be channelled for human needs.In addition，the ability of dams to control water flow helps prevent floods.Dams can also be used to make electricity.
     As the human population grows，the need for water and electricity increases.So many new dams have been built in the past 50 years.Today，nearly half of the rivers in the world have at least one large dam.If managed well，dams can be a great benefit to people.Some dams，however，may do more harm than good.
     All dams cause changes in river ecosystem that has an impact on surrounding land and people.As river water collects behind a large dam，it may back up and form a large lake，flooding land and killing plants and animals.People living on land upstream of a dam may be forced to abandon their homes.Below the dam，water flow decreases.This changes the downstream ecosystem.Plants and animals may not have enough water.Some types of fish may be unable to move upstream to reproduce.Rare species of plants and animals may become endangered.Farmers living downstream from the dam may not be able to grow crops.People who fish for a living may have to find other work.
     An independent organization called World Commission on Dams worked during the late 1990s to suggest ways of reducing problems caused by some large dams.The commission recommended that the research，the group decision-making，and the creation of a plan all take place before the start of construction of a large dam.For a plan to be successful，it would need to demonstrate that the dam would contribute to the long-term improvement of human life.The likely impact of the dam on local people and the environment would be assessed and considered in the decision-making process.
