Monty Hempel is a professor of environmental science at the University of Redlands in California. He studies ecologi?cal literacy―or eco-literacy, for short. Eco-literacy is the a-bility to think about and understand the natural processes that make life possible.

Monty Hempel says eco-literacy gives people knowledge about environmental problems. But he says it does not always work to get them to change their behaviour.

Mr Hempel wrote part of the Worldwatch Institute's lat?est State of the World report. He says in his article, "Some people think that eco-literacy is just a green form of science literacy. And what I have tried to ask is whether that's e-nough. In other words, what an ecology-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 envi?ronment―to protect our life-support system to the level that we need to. Just because that we know a lot about the envi?ronment 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 envi?ronmental problems if they seem far away. "Some people call it psychological distance. A lot of climate issues are worse in the Arctic and most of us don't spend time in the Arctic. And so, there's a certain distance. But there's also a distance that's happening in the world as it urbanizes―people spend?ing more time in front of screens and less time out in nature. We become, if you will, disconnected from the natural sys?tems that used to be the key to success for a human being.，，

To help children discover the wonders of nature, he adds that children should learn about nature in school. But he also points out we have a high mountain to climb from knowledge to action.

1,   From what Monty Hempel says in Paragraph 3， we learn
that_________ .

A.    knowledge on environmental protection is not enough

B.     knowledge that children learn at school is useless

C.     eco-literacy can help people understand how nature works

D.    people with enough knowledge will protect the envi?ronment well

2.   What is especially important for environmental protection
in Mr Hempel's opinion?

A. Knowledge,

  B. Action. 

  C.  Green living

  D.  Psychological distance.

3.     Mr Hempel thinks people show no concern about some
environmental problems because____________ .

A.     they lack knowledge on environmental protection

B.     they have no awareness of environmental protection

C.     some environmental problems are not worse at all

D.     some environmental problems happened far away

4.     What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A.     Experts think it is the best way to learn nature in school.

B.     Climbing a high mountain is a good way to exercise well.

C.     Changing people's attitude to environmental protection is hard.

D.     Knowledge can help children take action to protect the environment.

Habits of highly successful students Never over-study

  When you spend too much time studying you will quickly lose focus and the time spent in studying will become "junk time". You think you're studying but you're just sitting there rereading the same sentence about 100 times and you're not getting anything. Instead, take regular breaks. 5 Be?sides, it will give your mind some time to take in what you have been doing. 6

Top students don't just randomly(随意地)sit down and complete work. They actually plan what they are going to do: they actually plan the time they will study and they set goals for what will be achieved. If you want to be successful, do as successful people do. Set a plan and set a goal and stick to them, which will create a routine and a routine is the first step towards developing a habit. 7

Front up to the toughest work first

Many of us like to do the easy things first to build our confidence. That's fair enough. The only challenge with this approach is that you use up your primary energy at the start of any study period and so if you are dealing with the easy part with your primary energy your batteries will be low-when it comes the time to deal with the hard part. So what happens then?  8   We all do it.  We really shouldn't, though. So develop the habit of giving your primary energy to the hard tasks and completing the easy tasks last. 9

Do we really have to explain this? Just turn them off for an hour, and we promise the world will still be there when you log back in! Don't text your friends， don't chat while do?ing memory activities,don't make phone calls, and just focus on what you're doing. Even if you focus on work for 15 mi?nutes followed by 5 minutes of chatting, it's better than 30 minutes of work while also chatting! You get that right?

A.     Taking breaks can make you get everywhere.

B.     You get tired and impatient and just give up.

C.     Positive habits decide future success.

D.     Plan your study.

E.     Taking breaks will make you energetic again and refresh your mind.

F.      Get off social networks and turn off the phone.

G.     Achieve your goal.

I.阅读理解[2015 •湖北八市高三联考]

   If you need glasses to read this, you are among the ma?jority of Chinese students. That's because most students in China are short-sighted which means they can only see things close up and distant things will be blurry. Four fifths of high school students wear glasses and now more and more children in primary school need glasses, too.

   This epidemic of poor eyesight has two very simple cau?ses: too much time spent indoors studying and too little time spent outdoors playing. Reading and writing for hours and hours, sometimes in poorly lighted rooms, causes eyesight to weaken. But students have to do this because there is so much pressure on them to succeed in school. And because they spend so much time indoors at school and at home, they have less time to spend outdoors enjoying the sun.

The sun, as a consequence, is important in developing good eyesight. Exposure to daylight releases a chemical in the eyes that prevents, or at least delays, short-sightedness. Ac?cording to a study by Ian Morgan of Australian National Uni?versity, Australian children and Chinese children have the same level of eyesight before they start school, but once they enter primary school, Chinese children only spend about an hour a day outside, while Australian children spend three to four hours each day in the sunshine. The result is that while about 40 per cent of Chinese primary school students need glasses, only 3 per cent of Australian children do.

Wearing glasses may not seem like a big deal. For some, wearing glasses can even be an opportunity to make a fashion statement. But poor eyesight at a young age can have serious long-term consequences. As you get older, your eyesight can worsen and lead to things like macular degeneration(黄斑变性)，a condition of the eyes for which there is no cure and which can eventually lead to blindness.

With all that in mind, don't you think it's time to give your eyes a break? Try spending a little less time inside and go for a walk in the park, instead. It's the healthy thing to do and your eyes will thank you for it.

1. What does the underlined word "blurry" in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. Unpopular.                         B. Unpleasant.

C.  Unclear.                            D. Unconscious.

2.How should the students protect their eyesight according to the passage?

 A. They should study less and less.

B.  They should stay longer outdoors.

C.They should wear sunglasses.

D.  They should have a longer rest in bed.

 3.It can be inferred from the passage that is to blame for the poor eyesight of Chinese children.

 A.     the ever-worsening bad weather

B.     the ever-increasing burden of study

C.     the ever-decreasing sunny days

D.     the ever-decreasing period of study time

4. What is the purpose of this article?

A.     To explain why Chinese students are short-sighted.

B.     To admire Australian children's good eyesight.

C.     To criticize the present education system.

D.     To call on people to protect Chinese children's eye?sight.

B [2015 •吉林普通高中高三第三次调研] When you put down your pens at the end of the College Entrance Examination, 12 hard years of study will have come to an end. Forget your studies for a while. It's time to enjoy yourselves ！

There are many ways to celebrate this special month of graduation. You can have photos taken with your classmates and teachers, or dine out together and exchange gifts.

High school students in Western countries such as the United States and Canada usually have a prom to mark their graduation. It's to mark the time when kids turn into young men and women. After the prom, teenagers either go to col?lege or find a job. It means they are no longer as dependent on their parents as they were before.

At the prom, boys usually dress in dinner jackets and bow ties, though many different types of formal clothes are worn. Traditionally, girls give boys matching boutonnieres (a small collection of flowers they pin to their jackets). Girls traditionally wear formal dresses, or dress to shock or be noticed in shiny or brightly coloured materials.

Common prom activities include dining* dancing, crown?ing a prom king and queen, and just talking to friends. In some cases, high school students collect funds for their class prom through the four years of their high school.

High schools in or near large cities may rent ballrooms at expensive hotels or, to be unusual, on a pleasure cruise boat.

But often costs are cut by simply using the school gym. Students make a lot of efforts to decorate the gym to make the event special. The music played at the prom will be the most popular kinds, like rock and hip hop.

The students elect the Prom Queen. She is partnered with a Prom King who is elected similarly. These are great honours that the pair take very seriously. The two dance with each other to celebrate their election.

Sometimes teachers and parents also go to the prom. But others like to go with friends, to whom they are soon going to be saying goodbye.

If you like the idea of a prom, why don't you and your classmates organize one for your graduation?

5.Which of the following indicates that a prom is very im?portant to students?

 A.     They take pictures at the prom.

B.     They wear formal clothes or special clothes.

C.     Music is played at the prom.

D.     Teachers and parents attend it.

6.Which of the following is an economical way to hold the prom?

 A.     Renting a ballroom.

B.     Taking a cruise boat.

C.     Holding it in the school gym.

D.     Wearing formal dresses.

7.Why do some students attend the prom with their friends?

 A.     They will part with their friends in a short time.

B.     They don't like to be accompanied by their parents.

C.     They don't want to depend on their parents.

D.     They want to be elected by their friends as the Prom King or Queen.

8.What is the writer's purpose to write this passage?

 A.     To tell an interesting experience of high school students.

B.     To tell how the Western students spend the last days of high school.

C.     To introduce several ways of Western students' killing time.

D.     To tell how Western high school students usually cel?ebrate graduation.

A [2015 •河南信阳高级中学高三第六次大考]

When Louisa Ball takes a nap, she sleeps for days on end, and no amount of shaking can fully wake her up. The British girl has a rare condition called Sleeping Beauty syn?drome. Doctors don't know what causes it or how to cure it― only know that it strikes teenagers and goes away by itself af?ter 8 to 12 years.

Louisa's mum, Lottie, told NBC Nexvs that the girl had flu-like symptoms just over a year ago. Shortly afterwards, she had her first period of long sleeping.

She was eventually diagnosed with Kleine-Levin syn?drome, whose victims worldwide may number no more than 1,000. The victims live normally for weeks or months at a time, with normal sleep patterns and normal energy levels. Then, with little warning, they'll go to sleep for days or weeks at a time. So far, Louisa's longest period in bed has been 13 days. Victims will wake briefly, but be disoriented and not fully awake. Louisa's parents force her awake so she can use the bathroom and eat.

Now, Louisa's friends can tell when a period is coming on. She stops talking and she may be annoyed easily. That's when she knows she has to get home to her bed. Louisa has slept through family vacations, the dance recitals she loves to perform in, and school tests. Now it becomes increasingly difficult to catch up on the missed schoolwork.

But just as doctors don't know the cause, they also don't know why it ends as mysteriously as it begins. The illness is unrelated to narcolepsy (嗜睡症)，whose victims are con?stantly tired and drop off for brief periods of sleep at any?time.

It's so dramatic that some people have accused Louisa of making the false symptoms to get attention. Her father, Richard, thinks that's absurd.
