标准学术能力诊断性测试2024年12月测试 英语试卷 本试卷共150分 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分60分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题3分，满分45分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A In Thailand, human-elephant conflict is increasing. To local farmers, elephants threaten their safety and economic livelihood. Bring the Elephant Home(BTEH) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to increase chances of survival for elephants and work towards a world in which people and elephants can live in harmony, benefiting from each other’ existence. BTEH’ projects root in local communities. Their work is characterized by three principles: local involvement, a healthy ecology, and benefits for people and elephants simultaneously (同时地).

The ingredients (原料) for the soup are chili, garlic, lemongrass, and onion — none of which are attractive to elephants. This project gives hope to alternative crops as a solution to human-elephant conflict in Thailand. The project works in the following steps. Step 1 The community-run Tom Yum Tree Nursery creates alternative crop seedlings Step 2 Working together, farmers plant, water and maintain alternative crops. Step 3 Regenerative, pesticide-free (无农药) farming benefits biodiversity. Step 4 Farmers harvest crops and create organic products in eco-friendly packaging. Step 5 Consumers make a difference by buying products to create demand for this solution. Step 6 Profits are used to restore elephant habitat and support local farmers.
