When a United Kingdomsupermarket chain promised to move its farms to Net Zero by 2030, it made it clear that the effort would require working on many different fronts. From energy consumption and land - use change to methane emissions (甲烷排放), cattle farming comes with environmental challenges. So even if recent studies suggesting it's possible to cut methane emissions 80% do turn out to be accurate, there's still a very long way to go for most cattle farming to get anywhere close to truly net zero.
Organic Valley, when producing milk, might be closer to that goal. It made headlines in 2019 by going 100% renewable (可再生的). Now the company is expanding on that tradition by starting a major loan initiative (贷款计划) to help its farm suppliers adopt renewable energy too.
Created with Clean Energy Credit Union, the $ 1 million loan fund will deliver loans at below - marketrates. Specifically, the money will be made available to Organic Valley's 1, 700 farmer members, and can be used for a variety of projects.
“We are focused on a whole systems approach to renewable energy, and I'm excited to launch this energy
loan fund. From the farm to the shelf, I see renewable energy playing a bigger role in organic food,” said Bob Kirchoff, Organic Valley CEO.
“Organic Valley is already helping to protect the environment through organic farming practices, and now they re going one step further by supporting the introduction of renewable energy projects for their farmer members,” said Blake Jones, volunteer board chair of Clean Energy Credit Union. “In addition to the environmental benefits, we re eager to help family farmers throughout the world to lower their energy costs.”
The world is not short of examples of farmers innovating in the field of renewable energy. What's encouraging about Organic Valley's announcement is the idea of a national brand putting its marketing and financing weight behind such efforts and, hopefully, creating consumer demand that pushes the rest of the industry in this direction too.
4. What does paragraph 1 indicate about going net zero for cattle farming? A It is not easy to achieve B. It is common in the UK C. It is an impractical goal D. It meets no challenges 5. What is Organic Valley's tradition according to the text?
A. Helping farm suppliers B. Using renewable energy C. Having a loan initiative D. Making headlines annually 6. What is Organic Valley's initiative mainly intended to do?
A. Reform organic farming practices B. Make use of environmental benefits C. Help farmers decrease energy costs D. Shrink the group of farmer members 7. What is the author's attitude towards Organic Valley's initiative?
A. Worried B. Doubtful C. Ambiguous D. Positive

Gray wolves have lived inNorth Americafor at least half a million years. Their living areas once included most of the continentalUnited States. But during the 1800s and early 1900s, wolves were hunted to near extinction(灭绝).By the 1960s, theU. S.wolf population was limited to a handful of creatures in small comers of the northernMidwest.
Then, in 1973, a law, the ESA, was passed to protect animals from becoming extinct. Gray wolves were one of the first animals placed on the endangered-species(濒危物种)list. Killing them wasillicit. And theU. S.government worked to promote their protection. In a famous example of this effort, starting in 1995, 31 wolves were moved fromCanadatoYellowstoneNational Park. By 2015, more than 500 gray wolves were living in the Greater
Yellowstone Ecosystem(生态系统).Today, the continentalU. S.is home to more than 6,000 gray wolves. On January 4, 2021, theU. S.government removed gray wolves from the endangered-species list.
Usually, an animal's removal would be cause for celebration. But some environmental protectors say the wolves still need protection. In some parts of the country, wolves are increasing in numbers. More than a thousand of them can be found just inMichiganandWisconsin. But overall, their range is still a small part of what it was. Wolves used to live across most of the U. S. Now they , are found in fewer than a dozen states. Others argue that as long as a species is not in danger of extinction, it doesn't belong on the endangered-species list. And farmers with land near wolf living areas say that if the wolf's population continues to grow, more of their farm animals will be killed by wolves.
But some protection groups worry that without protection, the wolf population will crash again. They hope that no matter what, people and wolves can get along peacefully with each other. They are promoting ways to make that happen.
8. What caused gray wolves to be almost extinct?
A. Losing their living areas. B. Too many natural enemies.
C. The extreme climate changes. D. Being hunted in great numbers. 9. What does the underlined word \"illicit\" in paragraph 2 mean? A. Rather difficult. B. Against the law. C. Totally normal. D. Conditionally allowable.
10. Why was the gray wolf removed from the endangered-species list? A. They have a much larger population already. B. They have all been put into the safe natural parks. C. They have been feeding on farmers, farm animals. D. They have grown too strong to be protected by humans.
11. What do farmers living near gray wolves' living areas think of the animals? A. The wolves are trouble for them. B. The wolves must be better protected. C. The wolves get along peacefully with them. D. The wolves should live where they belong.
D
There are three of us in the laboratory: Jules, me and Dr. Leonards. Leonards asks me to sit in front of Jules.
As I do, he looks me in the eye and starts to move his face through a series of emotions-happy, confused, surprised, glaring. I'm attracted by his display, feeling delight when hegrinsand feeling serious when his eyes narrow angrily. None of this would be a surprise, of course, if Jules were a human. But he's a robot head on a table.
The most special thing is that, consciously(有意识地), there's no mistaking Jules for a real person. Although he has surprisingly realistic skin, his eyes don't fit firmly against his lids, and he has a terrible hairpiece. Yet, as I walk into the room, I experience a complex worry of feeling in his direction. It's not at all like entering an empty space. It's a bit awkward for Jules’ shining false hair. Some unconscious part of me is responding to him as if he's real. This matters, because if we're to one day live comfortably along with robots , an understanding of how we instinctively(本能地) react to them is significant. The study of these issues is the frontier of a new scientific research; human-robot interaction.
Jules was built as part of an attempt to understand the emotions that can be communicated by a human. “All the robots we'vebuilt so far don't have that rich emotions. We wanted to build a robotic face, with small motors that mimic(模仿) all the muscles you have, so we could discover what it could express. \"Such research is becoming increasingly important, says Dr. Leonards, partly because our rapidly ageing population will soon need the help of robots with which they can effortlessly interact. 12. What does the author think of Jules?
A. He ignored him in his place. B. He didn't treat him as only a robot. C. He was afraid of his being there. D. He mistook him for a real person. 13. What is the purpose to build such a robot?
A. To help humans of old ages. B. To carry out a scientific research. C. To take the place of human labour. D. To make an interaction with human. 14. What doesthe underlined word “grins” mean in Paragraph1? A. Smiles. B. Shakes. C. Worries. D. Cries. 15. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Human And Robot B. Success Of Making A Robot
C. Robot Will Replace Man D. Difference Between Man And Robot 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

An insect once bit my right hand. I run to my mom for help. But instead taking me to a doctor, my mom covered my hands with some cotton dipping in wine. Then she put a chopstick into my mouth and lit the cotton. Heat quickly began to roast my hand through the cotton. The sharply pain made me want to scream, and the chopstick prevented it. All we could do was to watch the fire unless my mom put it out. Ten years has been passed and my hand is fine. It's cool how the folk cure works, doesn't it? 第二节书面表达（满分25分）
