In Sydney, the birds have learned how to open dustbins and throw rubbish around in the streets as they hunt for leftovers. People are now fighting back. When cockatoos learn how to open dustbin l

9、ids, people change their behavior, using things like bricks to weigh down lids (盖子), to protect their trash from being thrown about. Thats usually a low-level protection and then the cockatoos figure out how to defeat that. Thats when people strengthen their efforts, and the cycle continues. Tricks

10、such as attempting to scare the parrots off with rubber snakes dont work very well. Nor does blocking access with heavy objects such as bricks; cockatoos use force to push them off. Hanging weights from the front of the lid or placing items such as sneakers and sticks through a bins back handles wor

11、k better. Researchers didnt see any birds get inside bins with these higher levels of protection. The findings suggest an arms race, but the missing piece is how the birds will respond as people try new ways of blocking bins. Some survey responses suggest that the parrots are learning. Cockatoos may

16、he coast of Kenya is a place called Haller Park. People flood there to see 180 local species of plants and trees, and a variety of animals including hippos and giraffes. In The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times, Jane Goodall discusses the park as an example of how our injured Earth can

17、 be restored and healed. At one point the park was “a large and frightening five-hundred-acre scar (伤疤) where almost nothing grew” because a cement (水泥) company dug large amounts of stone out of the ground. The company decided to repair the damage. Year by year, by growing flowers, fruit and vegetab

18、les and with introduction of wild animals, the area was changed. Its extremely important, Jane Goodall says in the book, that people especially young people know how positive action can still turn around the frightening path of climate crisis, biodiversity loss, and the ongoing global pandemic (疫情).

19、 “Its mostly because people are so overpowered by our stupidity that they feel helpless,” Goodall states. They need to hear stories of “the people who succeed because they wont give up.”Jane Goodall is one of those people herself. She is the worlds leading chimpanzee (黑猩猩) expert; UN Messenger of Pe

24、report.BA tour guide.CA biography.DA book review.Food waste has been of major global concern for many years now. It is estimated that every year, 1.3 billion tons of edible food equal to a third of global production which would be enough to feed three billion people, is wasted. This is particularly

25、shocking when one considers that every day, people go hungry. Ending food waste would certainly solve this problem, but unfortunately, it is not as easy as that. A huge amount of agricultural produce goes to waste as a result of unreasonable quality standards that overemphasize colour, shape and uni

26、formity in appearance especially with regard to fruits and vegetables. The result was that farmers worked with agricultural scientists to focus on the appearance and volume of their products and organic farming had to take a back seat. Food is also wasted when fresh or processed produce that is clos

27、e to or at the best-before date in many developed countries, is got rid of by retailers and consumers. And this is often a result of poor supply chain management and the overshopping which has been ordinarily existing in western households for a long time. Another way that wastage occurs is when edi

28、ble food remains unused or left over and is got rid of from household kitchens and eating places. How many of us refuse leftovers and insist on freshly-prepared meals three times a day on a daily basis? Then there are eating places, particularly in North America, that prefer to throw out unused and

29、untouched food rather than allow their employees to consume it or give it to the homeless. Given its complexity, reducing and ending food waste requires an overall approach, but it must be solved as it is critical to creating the zero-hunger world. Doing so, we would meet the Sustainable Development

30、 Goal (可持续性发展目标) which is to end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture.12What does “this problem” in Paragraph 1 refer to?AGlobal production is decreasing.BThe population is growing.CPeople are starving.DFood is being wasted.13What can we learn abou

31、t the quality standards?AThey overemphasize the flavour of produce.BThey can certainly ensure the quality of produce.CThey are aimed at nothing but fruits and vegetables.DThey directly lead to organic farming being ignored.14Which word best describes the authors attitude to the practice in eating pl

32、aces?APositive.BCautious.CUncaring.DNegative.15Which can be the best title for the text?AWaste and AgricultureBWaste and WantCWaste and SafetyDWaste and Fairness二、七选五How to Try to Fix a Friendship After You Broke ItIt can seem impossible to restart a friendship after you messed it up, but its defini

33、tely worth the effort. _16_. If not, at least you gave it your best shot. Look at yourself and the situation long and hard. This will help you to know how to form a solution. This is not the time to just think you can text or call the person and expect everything will be just fine. After all, it was

34、 your fault. _17_. Get in touch. After you have looked at the situation and have seen in your own mind how the other person felt about it, contact the other person and apologize. They may not be ready to hear from you, but at least they know that you are sorry for your actions. _18_, do not get upse

35、t and do not keep texting them. This could cause them to block your texts and make it almost impossible to get in contact with them. _19_. After the first attempt to apologize, give it a day or two. This could feel like a lifetime when you care so much for someone and you know you hurt them. Rushing

36、 to get that person to accept your apology could hurt things even more. Give them time and plenty of space. Be thoughtful. When you do text back to that person after a few days, just let them know that you are still thinking about them. _20_. It could be as simple as “just wanted you to know that I

37、am still thinking of you and I know I messed up”.AGive it timeBLet things goCWith luck, you may just succeedDIf you truly did love them at one pointEIf the person is not ready to talk to youFYou need to prove to them that they are worth fighting forGDont go all crazy and leave a long text that takes
