In January 2020, over a bottle of wine, Tulane University students Franziska Trautmann and Max Steitz were sharing their disappointment about having no glass recycling(回收利用) in New Orleans. They wanted to create a system that would recycle glass into something useful. With that, their grassroots glass recycling organization, Glass Half Full, was born.
In a period of a global sand shortage, Glass Half Full is creating a way to compete with sand digging and mining, which disturb ecosystems, damage coastlines, and cost millions of dollars. Louisiana, where the organization is based, loses on average a football field of coastal wetlands an hour. Glass Half Full creates sand that, among other things, is used to rebuild coastlines and prevent floods.
Glass and drink bottles are collected through a system of free drop-off collecting stations and roadside pickup. The glass is pulverized (粉碎), separated and recollected for use in varieties of projects. The sand and glass pieces are used for disaster prevention, coastal rebuild, eco-construction, and new glass products.
Founders Trautmann and Steitz also hope their project will make people think that they have the power to work to protect the environment as individuals(个人)and as a community. Trautmann said, “We always hear, ‘Oh, we can’t do anything about global warming. We can’t do anything about the environment. It’s all the big companies and the government. It’s up to them. ‘But when you collect glass over one year, you will know individuals can do something. All those little things add up to something much bigger. ”
Glass Half Full’s work is supported by a team of volunteers and crowdfunding efforts, making it truly a community effort. A successful one, too—in their very first year, they helped to recycle over 650, 000 pounds of glass.
8. What is the idea behind Glass Half Full?
A. Selling more recyclable glass.
B. Recycling glass into something useful.
C. Founding a grassroots organization.
D. Raising money to protect the environment.
9. What does the underlined word “disturb” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Improve. B. Punish. C. Break. D. Repair,
10. What is shown in paragraph 3?
A. The result of glass recycling. B. The reason for glass recycling.
C. The future of glass recycling. D. The way of glass recycling.
11. What can be drawn from Trautmann’s words?
A. Individuals can make a difference.
B. Global warming affects governments.
C. Big companies can deal with global warming.
D. We can do nothing about environmental protection.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A

【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Glass and drink bottles are collected through a system of free drop-off collecting stations and roadside pickup.

推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Trautmann said, “We always hear, ‘Oh, we can’t do anything about global warming. We can’t do anything about the environment. It’s all the big companies and the government. It’s up to them. ‘But when you collect glass over one year, you will know individuals can do something. All those little things add up to something much bigger. ”（Trautmann 说:“我们总是听到，‘哦，我们对全球变暖无能为力。我们对环境无能为力。那是大公司和政府的事。这取决于他们。“但当你收集玻璃超过一年，你就会知道个人是可以做一些事情的。所有这些小事积少成多。”）”可知，从Trautmann的话中可知，在环境保护方面，个人也可以有所作为。故选A。

Polar bears generally use sea ice to hunt (捕猎), but a newly discovered group has found another way. An isolated (与世隔绝的) population of polar bears has been discovered in a fjord (峡湾) in southeast Greenland, which is free of sea ice for most of the year. Polar bear generally need sea ice to survive, so the discovery is raising hopes that some kinds of the polar bears might survive the loss of sea ice caused by global warming.
Researchers found the population living in a fjord in the southeast Greenland, which is surrounded by mountains and an ice sheet to the west, and ocean to the east. The sea-ice coverage lasts for only around 100 days each year. With sea ice in the fjord becoming smaller because of global warming, the whole group were expected to die out by the end of this century.
But the isolated population has found a way to hunt without sea ice. The group, about 27 adult females, has been isolated from other polar bear populations along Greenland’s east coast for at least 200 years.
Tracking data from marked bears proves that they don’t move far. For example, when members of the group went out of the fjord, the ice on which they sat sometimes got caught in the rapid water flow. “Whenever this happened, they would get stuck and then, they would have to jump off, swim to the beach and walk back home empty-handed,” says lead author Kristin Laidre, an animal ecologist at the University of Washington in Seattle.
Though the researchers failed to video their hunting without sea ice, the existence of this small population in conditions of low sea-ice coverage suggests there is a chance that the population can survive, even as sea ice flows away to farther north each year.
12. What have the newly discovered polar bears found?
A. A place filled with ice sheets.
B A way to hunt without sea ice.
C. A way to track sea ice flowing away.
D. An ice sheet caught in the rapid water flow.
13. Why were polar bears in the fjord expected to die out?
A. They are being hunted by human.
B. They have lost their source of food.
C. They can’t stand the increasing heat.
D. The sea ice there is becoming smaller.
14. What can be inferred from the text?
A. The bears can swim very far to hunt for food.
B. Kristin Laidre is negative about the future of the group.
C. Once the group went out of the fjord, they might get into trouble.
D. If the bears got caught in the rapid water flow, they wouldn’t go home.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Polar bear population can survive without sea ice
B. Sea ice is becoming smaller because of the global warming
C. Polar bear population may die out because of the global warming
D. A newly discovered polar bear population has been stuck in a fjord
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章讲述了研究者发现北极熊可能会在全球变暖导致海冰流失中幸存下来。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“But the isolated population has found a way to hunt without sea ice.(但是这一与世隔绝的群体发现了一种没有海冰的狩猎方式)”可知，新发现的这一北极熊群体找到了这一种没有海冰的狩猎方式，故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“With sea ice in the fjord becoming smaller because of global warming, the whole group were expected to die out by the end of this century.(随着全球变暖，峡湾的海冰变少，预计整个群体将会在本世纪末消亡)”可知，由于海冰变少，峡湾里的北极熊群里就可能会面临灭绝。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“For example, when members of the group went out of the fjord, the ice on which they sat sometimes got caught in the rapid water flow. “Whenever this happened, they would get stuck and then, they would have to jump off, swim to the beach and walk back home empty-handed,” says lead author Kristin Laidre, an animal ecologist at the University of Washington in Seattle.(例如，当北极熊群体的成员走出峡湾时，它们坐在上面的冰有时会被湍流的水流所困住。“每当这种情况发生时，它们就会被困住，而不得不跳下，游到海滩，空手回家，”西雅图华盛顿大学的动物生态学家Kristin Laidre说道)”可推知，如果北极熊群体走出峡湾，它们就会陷入困境。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Polar bear generally need sea ice to survive, so the discovery is raising hopes that some kinds of the polar bears might survive the loss of sea ice caused by global warming.(北极熊常常需要海冰才能生存，因此这项发现提高了人们的希望，即某些种类的北极熊可能会在全球变暖导致的海冰流失中幸存下来)”可知，本文主要讲述了研究者发现北极熊可能会在全球变暖导致海冰流失中幸存下来。由此可知，A项“没有海冰，北极熊群体可能会幸存下来”符合文章标题。故选A。
