9．Monty Hempel is a professor of environmental science at Redlands University in California．He studies ecological literacy-or ecoliteracy （生态素养） for short．Ecoliteracy is the ability to think about and understand the natural processes that make life possible．
Monty Hempel says ecoliteracy gives people knowledge about environmental problems．But he says it does not always work to get them to change their behavior．
Mr．Hempel wrote part of the World watch Institute's latest State of the World report．He says in his article，"Some people think that ecoliteracy is just a green form of science literacy．And what I have tried to ask is whether that's enough．In other words，what an ecologically literate person needs to know might include things like the cycles and the flows，the energy systems，all of those kind of things that we would call the science of ecology．"
"That doesn't seem to lead to action to protect our environment-to protect our life-support system to the level that we need to．Just because that we know，a lot about the environment doesn't mean that we actually act to save it．After all，actions speak louder than knowledge．"
He adds that people may not be very worried about environmental problems if they seem far away．"Some people call it psychological distance．A lot of climate issues （问题） are worse in the Arctic and most of us don't spend time in the Arctic．And so，there^a certain distance．But there's also a distance that's happening in the world as it urbanizes （城市化）-people spending more time in front of screens and less time out in nature．We become，if you will，disconnected from the natural systems that used to be the key to success for a human being．"
To help children discover the wonders of nature，children should learn about nature in school，he adds．But he also points out there is a high mountain for people to climb from knowledge to action．

32．From what Monty Hempel says in Paragraph 3，we learn thatA．
A．ecoliteracy is more than a green form of science literacy．
B．people have learnt more knowledge about ecoliteracy．
C．ecoliteracy can greatly affect how nature works．
D．people with enough knowledge will better protect the environment．
33．In Mr．Hempel's opinion，which is the most important for environment protection？B
A．Knowledge．
B．Action．
C．Green living theory．
D．Psychological distance．
34．Mr．Hempel thinks people may show no concern about some environmental problems becauseD．
A．they lack knowledge on environment protection．
B．they are closely connected with the nature．
C．the problems are not serious at all．
D．the problems seem to be far away．
35．What can be inferred from the last paragraph？C
A．It is the best way to learn about nature in school．
B．Climbing a high mountain is a good way to exercise．
C．It is easier to understand environment protection than to carry it out．
D．people should first collect waste in the mountains to protect the environment．
19．Prepackaged，mass-produced snack foods are hugely popular in grocery stores around the world，Many people are accustomed to choosing snack foods in grocery stores．
The first problem with packaged snack foods like cookies，crackers，and other bite-sized options is that they are often loaded with unhealthy materials．The reason for this is fairly easy to understand．Mass-produced foods need to be uniform in color，taste and so on．In order to achieve this uniformity，snack food producers use sugar，salt，and other chemical preservative（防腐剂） and coloring materials in large amounts．These materials contribute to a rather unhealthy food．
In addition to requiring uniformity of taste and appearance，mass-produced snack foods like potato chips and candies need to be shelf stable．Preservatives and complex packaging make products shelf stable，but this stability and non-perish ability（抗腐性） often come at the expense of nutrition．
One reason that pre-made snacks are so popular in grocery stores is their prices．Food producers can keep costs down by using established production facilities and processes to quickly produce a huge amount of food．Shoppers are drawn to what they see at low prices．
People who are interested in improving the quality of their snacking can use magazines，books，and the Internet to discover a lot of healthy snacking tips and ideas．Even television shows about health and food sometimes talk about healthy snacking alternatives．Some healthy snacks，like fresh fruit，require no preparation at all．
Once people are aware of the drawbacks of clearly cheap and easy snack foods，they can start turning to better options．Soon，perhaps，the old and unhealthy snack options will no longer be profitable for food producers．

17．Some of the world's most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day．UNESCO（ United Nations Educational，Scientific and Cultural Organization） recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music，its significance，and its potential as a unifying（联合） voice across cultures．
Despite the celebrations，though，in the U．S．the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older，and the music has failed to connect with younger generations．
It's Jason Moran's job to help change that．As the Kennedy Center's artistic adviser for jazz，Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz，make the music more accessible，and preserve its history and culture．
"Jazz seems like it's not really a part of the American appetite，"Moran tells National Public Radio's reporter Neal Conan．"What I'm hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and write anymore．It's actually color，and it's actually digital．"
Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost．"The music can't be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958．It has to continue to move，because the way the world works is not the same，"says Moran．
Last year，Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller's music for a dance party，"Just
to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music，"says Moran．"For me，it's the recontextualization．In music，where does the emotion（情感） lie？Are we，as humans，gaining any insight（感悟） on how to talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts？Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context，"says Moran，"so I want to continue those dialogues．
Those are the things I want to foster．"

A．To remember the birth of jazz．
B．To encourage people to study music．
C．To recognize the value of jazz．
D．To protect cultural diversity．
29．What does the underlined word"that"in paragraph 3refer to？C
A．The jazz audience becoming larger．
B．The production of jazz growing faster．
C．Jazz being less popular with the young．
D．Jazz becoming more accessible．

A．It should keep up with the times．
B．It remains black and white．

18．With limited space for parks and gardens，architects and city planners often find it challenging to include greenery in neighborhoods in cities．One creative solution is to grow plants on unused areas like walls and rooftops．It's a popular idea，and now rooftop gardens and green walls have been sprouting up（大量冒出）in cities around the world．
There are many benefits of having green spaces to the urban landscape．Adding gardens to rooftops or walls can create a pleasant environment--what was once a gray cement（水泥）wall can become a colorful，blooming garden．The CaxiaForum art gallery in Madrid，Spain，is a famous example--one of its walls is covered with 15，000 plants from over 250 different species．In other cities，green walls are being used more functionally，to cover up construction sites and empty buildings and to decorate the lobbies of office buildings．
Using plants to cover walls and rooftops can also keep cities cooler in the summer．Buildings and roads absorb the sun's heat and hold it，causing a building or neighborhood to stay warmer longer．Plants，on the other hand，provide an enormous amount of shade．There is evidence that growing a roof or wall garden can lower a building's energy costs．
In New York City，public schools plant rooftop gardens that can reduce heating and cooling costs．In addition to saving the school money，teachers and parents love the gardens because of their educational value--it's a fun and healthy way for their kids to investigate the world around them．"For the children，it's exciting when you grow something edible（可食用的），"said Lauren Fontana，principal of a New York public school．
Rooftop gardens and green walls may require a bit more effort to grow and maintain．However，hard work always brings rewards，and with green spaces，the rewards are plentiful．
Due to the limited space in cities，rooftop gardens and green walls have emerged．（要点1）One benefit of adding green to rooftops and walls is to offer an agreeable surroundings．（要点2）Besides，shade can be created to make cities stay cooler longer，thus reducing the costs in energy．（要点3）What's more，green gardens in school bear educational value of children's exploring the world．（要点4）Though hard to maintain，green spaces in cities ensure abundant rewards．（要点5）
