When Barcelona’s citizens emerged from a six-week lockdown at the end of April last year, they found that while the city had lain inactive, nature had been busy transforming the streets and parks into a wilderness. “The parks were shut, so no gardening was carried out,” says Margarita Pares, who heads the city’s biodiversity programme. “It was spring and it rained a lot more than usual. The result was an explosion in plant growth. And there were many more butterflies, as they are a species that reacts very quickly to changes in the environment.”
Once the gardeners went back to work, the question was whether to return everything to its neat and tidy state, or let nature take its course？The answer is neither. Pares says the council spent the previous two years working on plans to “naturalise” or “rewild” the city—and was about to announce this change of policy when the pandemic struck. By the time the lockdown ended, it was a lot easier to sell rewilding to the public desiring fresh air and open space. When it comes to embracing nature in its cities, Spain falls behind many countries. But it is hoped that Barcelona’s new policy will go some way to correcting that.
“In a city like Barcelona, it’s a case of replacing what exists with green infrastructure(基础建设),” says Lorena Escuer who has worked in Barcelona on a pilot scheme called Alcorques Vivos, which plants wildflowers at the base of trees in the streets rather than surrounding them with pavement. “It’s not having a park surrounded by asphalt(沥青)but introducing nature into the city,” she says. “People need re-educating. Their idea of a clean space is where there’s no life and the ecosystem is dead. There’s this idea that nature is something outside and that what’s natural for the city is for there to be nothing.”
“Rewilding has made us look at how we live and how we want to live. There’s no going back from here. The lockdown gave us a glimpse of nature in the city and it surprised us,” says Margarita Pares.
1．What happened to Barcelona after a six-week lockdown last year？
A．The environment became wild. B．Plants stopped growing.
C．Gardening was abolished. D．Fewer butterflies emerged.
2．What does the underlined phrase “new policy” in paragraph 2 refer to？
A．Returning Barcelona to neatness and tidiness.
B．Filling open space with fitness facilities.
C．“Naturalising” or “rewilding” Barcelona.
D．Developing economy to shake off backwardness.
3．Which of the following will Lorena Escuer probably support？
A．Surrounding trees with pavement. B．Promoting green infrastructure.
C．Building park roads with asphalt. D．Keeping the city empty and clean.
4．What is Margarita Pares’s attitude to “rewilding”？
A．Doubtful. B．Intolerant. C．Unclear. D．Favorable.

Last fall,my dad and I visited Kindred Spirit Elephant Sanctuary,which is located in the mountains of Northern Thailand. Although our stay was short, it turned out to be the most memorable part of our holiday.
Upon arrival,we headed to the base to learn about the elephants that were in the care.The eldest,Too Meh, had spent much of her life giving tourists rides with a heavy iron seat tied to her back.Her daughter,Mae Doom,and grandsons,Dodo and Gen Thong,had also spent years in chains doing hard work to entertain tourists. It broke our hearts to hear their sad stories.
Early the next morning, we saw Too Meh and Mae Doom exploring the forest and Dodo playing by the river. Seeing them free was a heartwarming experience. Kindred Spirit Elephant Sanctuary was founded with the goal of protecting the welfare of elephants, and that is why this place does not offer elephant rides or elephant performances of any kind. Instead, it tries to educate visitors about these amazing animals.
But we did more than just get to know the elephants. We also cooked and ate together with our host family, learned about the language of the local people, and helped teach English to the children in the village. In doing these activities, we were able to experience the local customs and culture firsthand.By providing such opportunities for visitors, the place gives back to the village by helping the villagers make more money and learn English. It's a win-win situation.
If you want to see elephants in their natural environment,Kindred Spirit Elephant Sanctuary is the nice place to go. It's an experience you won't forget.
5．What can we learn about Too Meh?
A．She lived through hard times.
B．She gave birth to three babies.
C．She is used to wearing chains.
D．She has an iron seat on her back.
6．What does the Kindred Elephant Sanctuary aim to do?
A．To entertain tourists.
B．To teach languages.
C．To protect elephants.
D．To maintain customs.
7．What benefit do villagers get from the sanctuary?
A．Higher income.
B．Cheaper travel.
C．Free elephant rides.
D．Live entertainment.
8．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．My Best Holiday Ever
B．Stopping Hurting Elephants
C．One Performance You Can't Miss
D．A Visit to the Elephant Sanctuary

A hundred years ago, the largest city in the world was London, with a population of 6.5 million. Today it is beaten by Tokyo. With barely a quarter the population of London a century ago, the Tokyo metropolitan area has since ___1___ to 34 million, promoting it to first place in the global city league table. Tokyo’s phenomenal growth is largely due to a single factor: migration from the countryside to the city.
This __2___ migration can now be seen in scores of cities around the globe. And it has brought us to a crucial moment in human history. In 1990, most people lived in the countryside, with a little over 10 percent of the world’s population living in ___3___. From next year, the UN Population Division predicts that for the first time in history, more people will live in cities than in the country, and the biggest growth will be in “mega-cities,” with populations over 10 million.
The ___4___ of mega-cities - there are now 20 in total - has brought with it huge environmental and social problems. Cities occupy just two percent of the land surface of the Earth but consume three-quarters of the resources that are used up each year. Their residents are making ruinous ___5___ on soils and water supplies for food and on forests for wood and paper.
___6___ the world’s population to the countryside isn’t an option. Dividing up the planet into plots of land on which we could all survive self-sufficiently would create its own natural disasters, not to mention being highly unlikely to ever ___7___. If we are to protect what is left of nature, and meet the demand to improve the quality of living for the world’s developing nations, a new form of city living is the only option. ___8___, governments, planners, architects, and engineers are beginning to wake up to this idea, and are dreaming up new ways to green the mega-cities. Their approaches ___9___ two main principles: recycle whatever possible and remove as many cars as possible. So as well as developing energy-efficient buildings, emphasis is being placed on increasing the use of ___10___ and redesigning how cities are organized to integrate work and living areas into a single neighborhood, rather than ___11___ cities into residential, commercial, and industrial zones.
Planners and architects now agree that to improve the social and environmental condition of cities the top ___12___ is to cut car use. They say zero-emission cars running on electricity or burning hydrogen are not ___13___. What is needed is a wholesale rethink of how new cities are laid out — and how existing ones expand — to ___14__ the need for cars in the first place. One way of achieving this is to build cities with multiple centers where people live ___15___ their work in high-rise blocks that are also near public transport hubs. In parts of the world this is already taking place.
1. A．added B．mushroomed C．responded D．adapted
2. A．out-of-date B．rural-to-urban C．close-to-bottom D．on-the-site
3. A．cities B．migration C．poverty D．communities

5. A．criticism B．comments C．demands D．impressions
6. A．Promoting B．Relating C．Returning D．Introducing
7. A．disappear B．decrease C．exist D．occur

维度一 语境填词
1．escaping
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：中国人发现从管中泄露的气体能够使其升到空中。根据汉语提示“泄露，逃逸”可知，空格处涉及单词“escape”，意为“泄露，逸出”，动词词性，句子为“that”引导的宾语从句，从句中有谓语动词“could lift”，故空格处应用非谓语动词，“gas”和“escape”之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，故空格处应用“escape”的现在分词“escaping”作后置定语。故填escaping。
2．has earned a good reputation for##has won a good reputation for
【详解】考查现在完成时和语法一致。句意：屠呦呦因其对医学的贡献而赢得了良好的声誉。该句强调已经完成的动作，用现在完成时，且主语Tu Youyou是第三人称单数，谓语动词用动词的单数第三人称；表示“因……赢得好声誉”用earn/win a good reputation for。故答案为has earned/won a good reputation for。
3．mission

【详解】考查时态。句意：目击者声称司机说谎是为了逃避罚款。根据句意及汉语提示可知，此处使用动词claim，由was可知，句子时态用一般过去时，空格处用过去式，故填claimed。
7．journal
【详解】考查名词。句意：他在访问日本期间坚持写日记。根据汉语提示“日记”和空前的kept a可知，应填名词journal作宾语，此处journal为可数名词，不定冠词a修饰单数可数名词。故填journal。
