A recent TV series To the Wonder has become China’s breakout TV hit of the year. It has also won praise at a film festival abroad. To the Wonder is based on the award-winning novel of Li Juan, My Altay, and is directed by Teng Congcong. It is very poetic and filled with beautiful wisdom.

The TV drama follows the journey of Li Wenxiu. She once wished to leave Altay, an area in Northern Xinjiang. After failing to realize her dream in the capital of Xinjiang, Li has to move back to her hometown and tries to find a new direction for herself. At first, Li finds it hard to understand her neighbours’ traditional way of thinking. Under the influence of her mother Zhang Fengxia, Li starts to see the place and its people in a new light. Later, she comes to understand their lifestyle and respect for nature.

Fans describe watching the drama as an experience in the wonderland. “It’s like breathing in fresh air or lying under the sun,” said one fan. “It is a unique drama, very different from the usual Chinese series. A must-watch if you want to discover the beauty of the grassland and life there,” another fan said.

“People enjoy the wonderful view of Altay. But the key to the success of the series lies in its ability to connect with the viewers on a human level,” said Teng Congcong. “In the drama, everyone communicates sincerely.

阅读下列短文，从下而每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

After a 10-year project to count tuna and other large fish in the world's oceans, scientists have made a very surprising discovery: these fish are almost gone. Because of too much fishing, almost 90 percent of the worldwide population of large fish—the ones we usually eat—has disappeared. If we don’t act, these animals will totally disappear. That will influence every animal in the ocean.

The demand for fish is growing. Almost a billion people around the world get their protein（蛋白质）mostly from fish. Doctors praise seafood for being low in fat. But what seems like a healthy choice for humans is causing a disaster to our oceans. “People are consuming（消费）too much,” says Lance Morgan, a scientist at the Marine Conservation Biology Institute.

A dish of tuna in restaurants costs more than just one animal's life. When fish like tuna disappear from the ecosystem（生态系统）, the ocean’s food chain（链）breaks down. Animals such as sharks, which normally eat tuna, may die because they find no food.

The news may be scary, but taking action from now on can prevent harm that hasn’t happened yet. World organizations are ordering countries to stop fishing too much. The Monterey Bay Aquarium gives seafood choices to anyone hoping to keep healthy without destroying the environment.

“If you care about wildlife, first spend time and think about your own values and beliefs,” says Morgan. “Then decide what you’re going to eat.”

（1）How does the writer start the text?

A．	By giving a fact.	B．	By asking a question.
C．	By telling a story.	D．	By using a saying.

（2）What does the underlined word “demand” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．

Wish.

B．

Support.

C．

Need.

D．

Price.

（3）From Paragraph 3, we know that ________.

A．	if sharks die out, tuna will die out soon	B．	tuna will be more popular in restaurants
C．	tuna plays an important role in the ecosystem	D．	tuna disappeared because they found no food

（4）What’s the purpose of the text?

A．	To tell people to stop polluting our oceans.	B．	To tell people to protect wildlife in oceans.
C．	To tell people to avoid eating too much seafood.	D．	To tell people to live a balanced and healthy life.

（5）What does the last paragraph of the article explain ________.

A．	We need to care about wildlife	B．	We need to eat wild animals
C．	We need to reflect on our own values and beliefs	D．	We don’t want to protect wild animals

All around the world, buildings are going green! People are making green buildings. What does it mean to go green or to make a green building? A green building is designed（设计）in a way that is not harmful to the environment. The building uses energy, water, and other materials in ways that are good for the environment.

When planning green buildings, architects（建筑师）must think about how to use energy, water, and materials in an environment-friendly way. There are many ways to save energy. Architects can design buildings to use natural light. Buildings can also be made with solar or wind power to get energy from the sun or the wind. To save water, green buildings can have areas on the roofs to collect rainwater. Kitchens and bathrooms can have sinks（洗池）and toilets（马桶）that conserve water. As for the materials used to build the building, it is important to use materials that do not have chemicals that are harmful to the air or water. Recycled materials can also be used for buildings.

Buildings around the world use all three of these ways to go green. An office building called CH2 in Melbourne, Australia, uses wind and solar power. A cultural center in London, England, is made from recycled train cars and is powered by solar and wind power. The Academy of Sciences building in California in the U. S. has recycled materials, solar energy, and a huge“living roof”of plants. A temple in Thailand is made out of one million recycled glass bottles! This is a good use of recycled material, and it also lets natural light into the temple.

More and more green buildings are being built and they are making the world a better place!
