I was going to write about gardening this month and the effects on abnormal children.

In the few years since Arthur’s diagnosis my family and I have been 36 a lot with our youngest son. We have 37 that like most children, he is happiest outside, and he’s in his element when either walking or doing things in the open air.

38 , the garden has become a bit like an open sensory room. When we’ve had guests at home，Arthur would behave well. But the 39 is where we’ve gone and he’s almost instantly 40 . In the early days a little grass in the garden worked wonders. It made the process of 41 more interesting to him, and meant that now thankfully he continues to eat a wide 42 of fruit and vegetables. Of course anyone who gardens knows how 43 gardening can make you feel. I’ve heard time and time again from people how powerfully healing the 44 of gardening can be.

I believe that gardening has the 45 to empower those with autism(自闭症) ― to build confidence that will 46 into other areas of their lives. One landscape designer has an 11-year old son with autism, and says she has found gardening to be one of the 47 but most effective ways of helping

him. 48 my youngest son learns to 49 the world and all that is 50 of him, to find his voice and make himself heard, the garden remains a(n) 51 .

Having a child with autism has taught us so many things. Entering his 52 to bring him more into ours has been challenging, but ultimately it has 53 our lives. One thing’s : our future will not be normal ― it will be a real rainbow of vibrant difference 55 . I think the world will be all the better for it.

The Great Barrier Reef is more than worthy of its name. Coral of all shapes, sizes and colors cover more than 130,000 sq. mi. off the coast of Australia, making it the world’s largest reef system and supporting a surprising variety of marine (海上的) life.

But today the Great Barrier Reef is dying. The temporary warming effect of a major El Nino event―combined with ongoing climate change―has heated the waters around the reef to nearly unprecedented levels. That warming has in turn driven a mass bleaching(漂白；使变白) that has sucked the color―and the life―out of the coral. And the Great Barrier Reef isn’t alone. “This is the longest bleaching event ever recorded,” says David Kline, a Scripps

Institution of Oceanography scientist. “It’s truly global, and it’s looking very severe.”

Bleaching occurs when ocean disruptions―warm water, pollution, algae

overgrowth―drive away the symbiotic organisms that live on the coral and give it color. Within weeks, the reef could die, leaving behind a forest of

lifeless, bone white coral. Scientists believe the bleaching now under way may kill more than 15% of the world’s coral.

It’s not just a matter of aquatic aesthetics. Reefs act as natural barriers that protect coastal communities from storms and flooding. Marine life depends on coral reefs as habitats, while coastal towns depend on them as tourist draws.

But a bigger worry may be what the bleaching suggests about future climate change. The rapid death of coral reefs demonstrates that climate change is irreversibly affecting the world right now, even as policymakers treat warming as something to be dealt with in the future. “Climate change may be slow

sometimes, but other times it takes great leaps forward,” says Steve Palumbi, an ocean scientist at

高三英语试卷 第 4 页 共 12 页

Stanford University. “This is one of those leaps.”

Local solutions―like reducing fishing and cleaning up pollution―can help slow reef loss, but scientists say a global problem requires a global solution. Nearly 200 countries agreed last year to work to keep global temperatures from rising more than 3.6°F by 2100, but that goal will be tough to reach. And if governments fail, coral reefs will be only the first victims.

58. Which of the following is accounting for the Great Barrier Reef’s dying fortune ? A. bleaching has little impact on a global scale B. the waters around the reef are extremely heated C. El Nino event induces influential climate change

D. the color and the life of the coral has been sucked by bleaching 59. The reef loss can effectively be slowed by _______. A. reducing fishing and cleaning up pollution

B. achieving the goal of global temperature rising ceiling C. attaining the goal of global temperature falling lower limit D. avoiding damaging coral reefs physically and artificially 60. What is the best title of the passage? A. El Nino and the Great Barrier Reef B. The Barrier of the Great Barrier Reef C. Bleaching and the Great Barrier Reef

D. How to Solve Problems the Great Barrier Reef Faces C

Reducing food waste around the world would help curb emissions of planet-warming gases, reducing some of the impacts of climate change such as more extreme weather and rising seas.

Agriculture is a major driver of climate change, accounting for more than 20% of overall global greenhouse gas emissions in 2021. Avoiding food loss and waste would therefore avoid unnecessary greenhouse gas emissions and help slight climate change. Up to 14% of emissions from agriculture in 2050 could be avoided by managing food use and distribution better.

Between 30% and 40% of food produced around the world is never eaten, because it is spoiled after harvest and during transportation, or thrown away by shops and consumers.

The share of food wasted is expected to increase quickly if emerging

economies like China and India adopt western food habits, including a shift to eating more meat. Richer countries tend to consume more food than is healthy or simply waste it.

As poorer countries develop and the world’s population grows, emissions associated with food waste could soar from 0.5 gigatonnes (GT) of carbon

dioxide equivalent per year to between 1.9 and 2.5 GT annually by mid-century. It is widely argued that cutting food waste and distributing the world’s surplus food where it is needed could help tackle hunger in places that do not have enough ― especially given that land to 高三英语试卷 第 5 页 共 12 页
