11、raphers, the 2 020 contest rewarded its winners in February.Octopus (章鱼) TrainingThis photo was taken by Pasquale Vassallo of Italy and won in the group of“Behavior”. Vassallo said when he came up after a dive, he noticed a soccer ball floating on the surface. When he checked it out, he witnessed a

12、rare scene- -an octopus hanging from the ball. He didnt understand what the octopus was doing, but wondered if it was training for the World Cup.Lemon Shark NurseryTaken by Anita Kainrath of the Bahamas, it shows young sharks swimming around in the protection of a beautiful thick forest.

13、id she spent n early an hour standing in knee-high water being bitten by mosquitoes to get her picture, which won the Up & Coming Photographer of the Year 2020 award. Angry SeahorseThough Rooman Luc of Belgium didnt win the“Portrait”category, his photo; titled“Angry Seahorse”, is quite striking. The

14、 close-up shot of a seahorse staring into the camera was named the runner-up. Mr. Luc said that after first hearing about the seahorse, he went looking for it every week for two months before finally finding it.Last Dawn, Last GaspVassallo also took the prize in the“Marine Conversation”division with

18、ieve that going eco-friendly is merely a fad(一时的风尚) . I disagree with this viewpoint, Going eco-friendly is not merely a fad and it doe s, in fact, change the beliefs and attitudes of people.The long-term presence of environmental organisations shows the efforts that people have made towards going e

19、co-friendly. Organisations such as World Wildlife Fund advocate people to go eco-friendly. The high involvement of the organisations and the participants is thus a strong indicator that going eco-friendly is not merely a fad but a trend that can last decades.Another strong indicator is the emergence

20、 of sustainable products in many industries, such as organic produce and electric vehicles. The consumer demand, coupled with eco-conscious (环保意识的) businesses, is behind the sharp increase in such products. This shows a shift in the beliefs and attitudes of people towards adopting a sustainable life

21、style. Thus, it seems quite certain that going eco-friendly is not merely a fad.While some people who broadcast their eco-friendly practices are criticised for just hoping to project an eco-conscious image, there are a number of celebrities who have been practising the zero-waste lifestyle for years

22、. For those who do so for years, and not mere days or months, it is indeed a commitment that can only come with a true change in beliefs and attitudes towards caring for the earth.The call to save the earth looks set to stay. With the development of technology and the appearance of many platforms ad

23、vocating going green, people ar e more willing to change their beliefs and attitudes when they can learn about and appreciate the positive impact of the work of different environmental organisations and individuals.

27、se for eco-friendly platforms.CFor millions of years, Arctic sea ice has expanded and shrunk in a rhythmic dance with the summer sun. Humans evolved in this icy world, and civilization relied on it for climatic, ecological and political stability. But now the world comes ever closer to a future with

28、out ice. The National Snow and Ice Data Center reported that 2019s minimum arctic sea ice extent was the second lowest on record. Arctic summers could become mostly ice-free in 30 years, and possibly sooner if current trends continue. As the northern sea ice declines, the world must unite to preserv

29、e what remains of the Arctic.Although most people have never seen the sea ice, its effects are never far away. By reflecting sunlight, Arctic ice acts as Earths air conditioner. Once d ark water replaces brilliant ice, Earth could warm substantially, equivalent to the warming caused by the additiona

30、l release of a trillion tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere and declining sea ice threatens wildlife, from the polar bear to algae that grow beneath the sea ice, supporting the large amount of marine life. To avoid the consequences the scientific community should advocate not just for l

31、owering greenhouse gas emissions, but also for protecting the Arctic from exploitation. The Antarctic shows the way. In the 1950s, countries raced to claim the Antarctic continent for resources and military installations. Enter the scientists. The 1957-1958 International Geophysical Year brought tog

32、ether scientists from competing countries to study Antarctica, and countries temporarily suspended their territorial disputes (争议). In 1959, 12 countries signed the Antarctic Treaty to preserve the continent for peaceful scientific discovery rather than territorial and military gain.Sixty years late

33、r, we must now save the Arctic. A new Marine Arctic Peace Sanctuary (MAPS) Treaty would protect the Arctic Ocean as a scientific preserve for peaceful purposes only. Similar to Antarctica, MAPS would prohibit resource exploitation, commercial fishing and shipping, and military exercises. So far, onl

34、y 2 non-Arctic countries have signed MAPS; 97 more need to sign on to enact it into law. Scientists can help- -just as they did for the Antarctic by giving statements of support, asking scientific organizations to endorse (支持) the treaty, communicating the importance of protecting the arctic to the

35、public and policy-makers, and above all, by convincing national leaders to sign the treaty. In particular, Arctic nations must agree that recognizing the arctic as an international preserve is better than fighting over it. In 2018, these countries successfully negotiated a 16-year moratorium on comm

36、ercial fishing in the Arc tic high seas, demonstrating that such agreements are possible.Humans have only ever lived in a world topped by ice. Can we now work together to protect Arctic ecosystems, keep the northern peace, and allow the : sea ice to return?28. What can be inferred from the passage?A

37、. wildlife relies on sea ice for food and water. B. The Arctic would be ice-free in 30 years.C. Sea ice slows down the global warming. D. The melting of sea ice releases CO2.29.

39、: a Successful Comeback? B. Sea Ice and Global Warming C. Arctic: the Earths Future D. Life Without Ice?DHappiness is not natural. Its a mere human construct.

40、 happiness is like chasing a shadow, but the positive thinking industry claims to know itssecrets. Self-help was popularized by Norman Vincent Peale, an American minister. He invented “positivethinking”, a concept now deeply rooted in our culture and steadily growing in influence.Popular films and b

41、ooks are full of supposedly inspirational statements about how all you need to do isbelieve in yourself and then youll be able to achieve anything in life. This is simply, and obviously, nottrue. I dont think there is a need to explain that many obstacles and misfortunes in life are unavoidable, orc

42、annot be overcome. Our ancestors knew this, and many philosophical and religious traditions are based onthe acceptance that being alive is a very challenging task, which comes with significant amounts ofsuffering. It goes without saying that we should do all we can to maximize our sense of well-bein

43、g andminimize our suffering, but the end result cannot be a state of sustained happiness. We are not designed thatway.It could be argued that positive psychology blames those who are suffering for their suffering, as it isbased on the idea that unhappiness is entirely avoidable. It follows therefore

44、 that an unhappy person mustbe inadequate and incompetent. Positive psychology encourages people who are struggling with aparticular goal to persevere in the face of unfavorable possibilities, which is much more punishingpsychologically in the long run than accepting defeat.I believe that coming to

45、terms with life as it is, and not as the happiness industry tells us it could be,will make us happier, and we will feel more at peace with ourselves and with the world. Unfortunately, thedevil always has the best tunes.32. Which of the following statements will the writer probably agree?A. Happiness

46、 is a goal that can be achieved.B. Happiness is an idea created by human being.C. Popular culture helps discover the secrets of happiness.D.

People begin to accept that life is full of challenge.C. Reducing suffering can guarantee life-long happiness.D. Un

48、happiness will not necessarily dominate peoples life.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Happiness in Suffering B. The Pursuit of HappinessC. The Happiness Fantasy D.

49、e grass has stopped growing. 36 In fact, they are greener and tidierthan before. That is because the lawns are actually artificial made from plastic. 37 Country estates (地产) have long competed to have the most perfectly cut grassland. “Whatyoure saying in big loud capital letters, is Im so wealthy,”

50、 says Fiona Davison of the Royal HorticulturalSociety (RHS), a society for eco-gardeners.
