【正文】 hes were pieces of dry grass and wood left by flood waters earlier in the year. He put several large pieces of wood on the snow, under one of the trees. On top of the wood, he put some grass and dry branches. He pulled off his gloves, took out his matches, and lighted the fire. He fed the young flame with more wood. As the fire grew stronger, he gave it larger pieces of wood. He worked slowly and carefully. At sixty degrees below zero, a man with wet feet must not fail in his first attempt to build a fire. Fortunately, his fire was beginning to burn more strongly. He sat under the tree and thought of the old men in Fairbanks. The old men had told him that no man should travel alone in the Yukon when the temperature is sixty degrees below zero. Yet here he was. He had had an accident. He was alone. And he had saved himself. He had built a fire. Those old men were weak, he thought. A real man could travel alone. If a man stayed calm, he would be all right. 21． The man made his way to Henderson Creek to . an unfettable trip with his friends as planned the hard life there in person the first person to travel alone in the Yukon 22． Why did the man choose to walk on a trail with snowcovered ice? it was the shortest route. the scenery around was wonderful. it was a path advised by his friends. it was the only way to his destination. 23． After his feet sank into the water the man had to stop for a while in that . had to get some food for physical strength had to reevaluate the safety of the path was too cold to go any further had to dry his clothes and boots can we infer from the last paragraph? a fire in such an extreme condition was not as difficult as expected. fire successfully guaranteed the man’s safety to his destination at last. man was proud of his ability to survive in such an extreme condition. man’s experience proved that the old men in Fairbanks were reliable. B New Zealand will create one of the largest marine protected areas in the world, spanning an area of 620,000 sq km. The Kermadec Ocean Sanctuary (保護(hù)區(qū) ) will be one of the world’s most significant fully protected ecosystems, the prime minister of New Zealand, John Key, told the UN General Assembly in New York. The sanctuary is in the South Pacific Ocean, about 1,000 km northeast of New Zealand, and expands a marine reserve that surrounds some small islands. The area is considered important in terms of biodiversity, featuring nearly 35 species of whales and dolphins, 150 types of fish and three of the world’s seven sea turtle species. It is also geologically significant, including the world’s longest chain of underwater volcanoes and the second deepest ocean trench, into 10 km underwater — deeper than Mount Everest’s height. The scale of the sanctuary will dwarf (矮化 ) any previous New Zealand’s protected area, spanning twice the size of the country’s mainland. It will cover 15% of New Zealand’s economic zone. Commercial and recreational fishing will be pletely banned, as will oil, gas and mineral prospecting (勘探 ), exploration and mining. Key’s government aims to pass legislation establishing the sanctuary next year. The sanctuary is a worldclass, unspoiled marine environment and New Zealand is proud to protect it for future generations,Key said.New Zealanders value our coasts and oceans, which are an important part of our culture, economy and environment and we are mitted to managing them sustainably. Creating protected areas will support not only our own fisheries, but those of our Pacific neighbors, adding to New Zealand’s efforts to help grow Pacific economies through the responsible management of their ocean resources. Nick Smith, New Zealand’s environment minister, said the sanctuary might impose a cost upon the mining industry but that it is important to protect the ocean before exploration takes place.New Zealand needs to use its vast ocean resources for jobs and exports in industries like fishing, aquaculture, minerals and energy, but we also need to set aside special areas where nature es first and marine life is fully protected,Smith said. New Zealand will monitor the area via its navy and satellite technology. The Kermadec region will join three other key areas in the Pacific protected by the US, the UK and Australia. Matt Rand, director of the Pew Charitable Trusts’ Global Ocean Legacy (遺產(chǎn) ) campaign, weled Key’s announcement.New Zealand will create the gold standard of conservation areas in the sanctuary, preserving one of the few ly unspoiled areas of ocean on Earth,he said.This mitment is an exciting step toward meeting global goals to safeguard at least 30% of the ocean through fully protected marine reserves. 25． Why is the Kermadec Ocean Sanctuary important in biodiversity? has a superior geographical location. has many different kinds of sea animals. environment is suitable for the growth of marine life. is the only unspoiled area of ocean remained on Earth. 26． Which of the following will Key probably agree on? are allowed to fish for fun in the sanctuary. Pacific countries should be responsible for ocean resources. Zealanders attach great importance to protecting the sanctuary. Zealand has made great achievement in creating protected areas. 27． What can we infer from what Nick Smith said? Zealand should develop its marine industry in special areas. Kermadec Ocean Sanctuary may affect New Zealand’s mining industry. Zealand hasn’t figured out how to make full use of its ocean resources. should be taken immediately to protect the ocean after explorations. C You39。 8. What are the man and woman looking for? A.
