1．"It can't be done."Boyan Slat heard this over and over when he first proposed a way to clean up millions of tons of plastic polluting our oceans.
Slat，who grew up in the city of Delft in the Netherlands，was on a diving trip in Greece three years ago when he was deeply impressed by plastic."There were more plastic bags than fish，"he says."That moment I realized it was a huge issue and that environmental issues are really the biggest problems my generation will face."
That fall，Slat，then 17，decided to study plastic pollution as part of a high school project.Soon，Slat learned that no one had yet come up with practical way to clean up this massive garbage patches.Most proposed solutions involved "fishing"up the plastic using ships equipped with nets-which，as Slat discovered，would likely take more than 1，000 years，cost too much，let off too much sea life along with the trash.
Slat proposed an alternative that mostly avoided these problems：a solar-powered system using a floating plastic tube which will go around the garbage and trap it is 600 meters long.Wind，waves and ocean currents will push the trash toward the tube.A ship will pick up the trash and take it back to the shore.Best of all，Slat predicted his system could clean up the North Pacific Garbage Patch within 5 to 10 years.
The following，Slat entered the aerospace engineering program at the Delft University of Technology and officially announced his ocean cleanup concept at TED×Delft.But nothing much moved forward.
Slat organized a team of volunteers and employees for The Ocean Cleanup，which now numbers about 100.In answer to opposition，Slat and his team raised ＄100，000 from a crowd funding campaign and began testing a 40-meter collecting barrier near the Azores Islands last March.
Over the next three to four years，Slat will push toward a fully operational large-scale project by testing a series of longer and longer barriers.

2．The forest of today will not be the forests of tomorrow.Rising temperatures，trees being cut down，development and climate-change-caused disasters are changing the very makeup of the Earth's forests，new research published in Science finds.
Older，bigger trees are being lost at an alarming rate，making the planet's forests shorter and younger.The change is being driven at different rates by different causes in different places，the study's authors say，but the consequences will be global.
Old growth forests absorb and store massive amounts of climate-warming CO2.They provide habitats for rare and endangered species and promote rich biodiversity.Researchers found that the world lost roughly one-third of its old growth forests between 1900 and 2015.In North America and Europe，they found that tree mortality（死亡率） has doubled in the past 40 years.
"Warming temperatures，wildfires，logging and insect outbreaks were among the many causes of the decline，" says Nate McDowell，the study's lead author. "What's perhaps more concerning is that the trajectory（發(fā)展軌跡） of all these disturbances is generally increasing over time and is expected to continue increasing in the future." he says.
McDowell's focus is on how trees are affected by rising temperatures，arguably the biggest driver of forest change.To get a broader understanding of how forests are changing globally，he brought in more than 20 other researchers in different fields.Together，they examined more than 160 previous studies about tree mortality and its global causes，applying current satellite data and modeling to create a look at the Earth's changing forests to date.
"It's not a shock，but it's very sad，" says Kristina，an ecologist and leader of the ForestGEO Ecosystems &Climate Program who helped with the research. "We as a human society are hitting these forests so rapidly with so many different changes that they can't keep up." she says.
（1）What can we know from the figures in the paragraph 3？
A．More trees should be planted in no time.
B．We are losing old growth forests quickly.
C．Forests are important habitats for wildlife.
D．Different trees can absorb CO2 differently.
（2）What can we say about McDowell's research？
A．Timely and long-standing.
B．All-sided and careful.
C．Time-limited and regional.
D．Traditional and extensive.
（3）What's Kristina's attitude towards the findings of the research？
A．Worried.
B．Optimistic.
C．Supportive.
D．Indifferent.
（4）What's the writer's purpose of writing the passage？
A．To call on people to plant more trees.
B．To discuss the influence of climate change.
C．To warn against the loss of old growth forests.
D．To compare forests of today with those of the future.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.6 -
3．A record of 6.15 million trips was made by Chinese mainland tourists to overseas destinations during the seven-day Spring Festival holiday，which ended on Sunday，according to the China National Tourism Administration （CNTA）.That is an increase of 7 percent compared with the last year's Spring Festival.About 374，000 trips were organized by travel agencies，a 2.5 percent increase.
The CNTA also reported growth from individual and high-end（高端的） travelers and said that in addition to top and coastal cities，inland cities such as those in Guangxi— became important source markets.With many Chinese now traveling abroad during the Spring Festival，their choice of destinations has expanded along with their growing interest in foreign cultures and services.
"Chinese tourists are increasingly willing to experience local cultures and services，including staying in private homes，appreciating plants and watching monkeys，" Li Xuejing，an agency's marketing manager，said.
Miss Guo，a Chinese tourist，who was vacationing on an island in Philippines，said， "I now pay more attention to relaxation and enjoyment during the holidays instead of shopping or choosing gifts for relatives."
