　　Paper is a cheap and accessible medium that can produce beautiful results. To most people, making a

　　paper plane could be one of the simplest things to do. It's the simplest and easiest form of paper art. And paper art can be

　　traced back to Japan, where it originated over a thousand years ago. However, there's a special minority who takes paper art to the next level, magically turning the plain white or colored paper into some of the most amazing artworks. Check out the following artists and their works！

　　The Danish artist Peter Callesen is famous for his talent in combining the minimalism(極簡的) of a white sheet of paper with the complexity of carefully cut and folded paper and uses the two to build out some pleasing works.

　　The British artist Su Blackwell often goes to secondhand bookstores－to look for materials with which she can carve out delicate sculptures. The models look as if they “grow” naturally from the pages of the books. The artist finds inspiration from the book title or a paragraph or picture inside and then spends months carefully slicing each one into an eye-catching paper model. Her old book sculptures sell for up to ￡5,000 each.

　　By carefully folding simple pieces of paper, German artist Simon Schubert creates amazing masterpieces. He turns paper into architectural masterpieces by folding a simple piece of paper to shape the creases(褶痕), then unfolding it to show the fascinating artwork.

　　Another master of paper-folding is Jen Stark. Her artwork is often in the form of colorful caves and topographic(地形的) maps. Using her vivid imagination and a special knife, she is a modern day magician who turns humble materials like construction paper and glue into fantastic, complicated sculptures that puzzle the eyes. Her work draws inspiration from nature.

　　B

　　The earth provides us with almost everything that we need to eat, sleep, work and entertain. To do all this, we use the earth's resources. Because some of us have more buying power, they end up using more resources than they usually need. At the same time, we also create a great deal of waste and pollution. So we also need to think about how much land we use to deal with that waste. Then two things happen: first，large numbers of the world's population get much less resources than they need to live; second, the earth is damaged.

　　The amounts of resources we consumed are like footprints. They show whose lifestyles are a burden on the earth and whose lifestyles are not. Because a few people eat up most of the earth's resources, the majority have to bear the consequences－like pollution. This is the ecological footprints that the earth keeps in its memory.

　　Some years ago, a famous expert, called William Rees, developed this idea of the ecological footprints. Today, this idea has become like a magnifying glass(放大鏡). It allows us to see whether we are living lives in a way that keeps the earth in a reasonably good shape. Once the earth goes out of shape, there is no hope for human beings.

　　Countries like the United States and Canada have big ecological footprints. Rees calculated that the average amount of energy and materials consumed by a Canadian is what a land of 4.3 hectares can produce. India has a footprint of 0.4. This means that the energy and materials consumed by an Indian is what 0.4 hectares of land can produce. But if we look more carefully，we will find that even within India, the footprints of the city Indian are much larger than the rural Indian.

　　5. Which of the following is the best title for this text？

　　A. Footprints on the Earth

　　B. How to Protect the Earth

　　C. Footprints of Wild Animals

　　D. How to Reduce Pollution on the Earth

　　6. Our footprints on the earth refer to __________.

　　A. the cities we build

　　B. the cultures we create

　　C. the marks we leave on roads behind us

　　D. the resources we use and the waste we produce

　　7. According to the text, rich people __________.

　　A. should give more money to the poor

　　B. are using too many resources

　　C. are helping the poor to live better lives

　　D. should live in rural areas with the poor

　　8. We learn from the text that Rees __________.

　　A. put forward the idea of the ecological footprints

　　B. thought highly of the United States and Canada

　　C. thought India was an extremely poor country

　　D. thought rich people made great contributions to society

　　【語篇解讀】　本文是一篇議論文。我們消費及浪費的能源數量就是留在地球上的腳印，腳印越多說明消費的資源越多，給地球造成的負擔越重。一旦把地球踩得變了形，那人類就沒有了生存的希望。

　　5.解析：標題歸納題。縱觀全文可知，第二段是本文的主題段。根據第二段第一句主題句“The amounts of resources we consumed are like footprints.”并結合下文中多次提到的“footprints”可知，A項意為“地球上的腳印”，適合做標題。故答案選A。

　　答案：A

　　6.解析：細節理解題。根據第二段第一句“The amounts of resources we consumed are like footprints.”可知，地球上的腳印指的是我們消費的能源數量。故答案選D。

　　7.解析：推理判斷題。根據第一段第三句“Because some of us have more buying power, they end up using more resources than they usually need.”可知，有更強購買力的人使用的資源超過了他們的實際需要，即富人消耗的資源太多。故答案選B。

　　答案：B

　　8.解析：細節理解題。根據第三段第一句“Some years ago... William Rees, developed this idea of the ecological footprints.”可知，答案選A。
