This time of year is not only about celebrating success, but saying thanks to all of those who helped make these episodes possible. When something looks easy, it usually means there are a bunch of talented people behind the scenes making it happen.Although our shows feature me and my photography, the episodes were produced by my company. Every shoot had at least one camera operator and an all-round field operation person. Otherwise, I'd have been bumbled(笨手笨脚)around, trying to film myself while also taking photos. Dante Fernandes has been in the field with me for six years, putting up with every possible weather situation and countless seasickness situations than you can imagine.Depending on the shoot, we were also supported by a lot of other people, such as drone(无人机)pilot, Daina Buchner, who flew drones to capture beautiful shots for the Shark Week episode, and the people who were on camera with me, like Mermaid Linden. I was so lucky to have so many biologists, field guides, camera operators and sound operators. The entire team at Discovery helped me a lot, especially our executive producer Christina Bavetta, who watched every single rough shot and helped us be even better at what we did with her incredible insights and production notes.So as you watch the show this year, don't just enjoy the beauty and humor of these adventures, but also give a thought to all the people behind the scenes who made it happen.24. What is the author?A. A host.B. A guide.C. A biologist.D. A photographer.25. Why did the author write the text?A. To attract more audiences.B. To recall the process of work.C. To thank the people involved.D. To show how to make the episodes.26. Which of the following can best describe the author's work?A. Relaxing.B. Challenging. C、Well-paid. D. Regular.27. How did Christina Bavetta help the author?A. By offering some useful advice.B. By teaching how to write notes.C. By flying drones to take pictures.D. By telling stories on camera.CDespite Ecoador's tough protection, there have been many giant tortoises(陆龟)killed recently, probably for their meat for financial gains made by wildlife hunters.For a century, Ecuador's beautiful and endangered giant tortoises have been protected. Hunting the tortoise is illegal under Ecuador's laws. These species, living on the Galápagos Islands, are one of the largest living reptiles(爬行动物) with the longest life span of all vertebrates. The oldest tortoise on record was 175 years old.“This isn’t a solitary incident,” the Galápagos Conservancy, a US-based conservation organization said. “In September 2021, the remains of 15 other endangered giant tortoises were found on Isabela. The reptiles had likely been hunted for consumption.”The islands are located around 600 miles off the shore of Ecuador's coast, in the Pacific Ocean. The archipelago(群岛) is considered one of the world's best places to see wildlife, and it is home to animal and plant species that are found nowhere else in the world.Their famously fearless wildlife is believed to have been a source of inspiration for Darwin’s theory of evolution, following his visit to the islands in 1835. The islands were actually discovered by accident in 1535 when a Spanish ship was blown off course while sailing from Panama to Peru. Ironically enough, the ship's captain was unimpressed by the islands, writing to the king that they were “worthless”. That view, of course, changed over time. Now about 25,000 people live in the four inhabited islands of Santa Cruz, Isabela. San Cristóbal, and Floreana.There were once at least 250,000 giant tortoises on the islands; there are fewer than15,000 in the wild today—and two subspecies are already extinct. “Evidence from the 2021investigation showed that the reptiles bad likely been hunted for consumption,” Galápagos Conservancy continued. “Many are worried the population will continue to decrease if serious action isn't taken soon. We must safeguard giant tortoises and the ecosystems they depend on.”28. What made Ecuador's giant tortoises endangered according to the text?A. Illegal hunting.B. Natural disasters.C. Environmental pollution.D. The decrease in shelters.29. What does the underlined word “solitary” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Serious.B. Demanding.C. Single.D. Disturbing.30. What did the wildlife on the Galápagos Islands contribute to?A. Darwin's theory of evolution.B. People living on the archipelago.C. The sailing from Panama to Peru.D. The discovery of the archipelago.31. What does the author want to express in the last paragraph?A. The way to safeguard the tortoises.B. The further research on the tortoises.C. The long history of the tortoises.D. The urgency of protecting the tortoises.DRaising livestock(牲畜)is a big part of the carbon emission from agriculture. But it is hard to change people's habits and get them to give up their hamburgers, especially since more than one-third of Americans eat fast food every day. We previously called for carbon labels on everything from buildings to burgers. Now, a new study from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found that labels on fast food affected people's choices.The study said shifting current dietary patterns to more sustainable diets with less red meat could reduce food-related greenhouse gas emissions by 55% and have health benefits.The 5,000 participants in the study were shown fake menus. One group got menus with high climate impact labels on red meat items and another had low climate impact labels on fish or plant-based burgers. Both menus were effective in reducing the orders for red meat。

IELTS reading passage - Flying TortoisesFlying tortoisesAn airborne reintroduction program has supported conservationists to take important measures to save the endangered Galapagos tortoise.Spiny cacti forests cover the most uneven volcanic plains that divide the interior of Isabella's Galapagos Island from the Pacific Ocean. With its five different volcanoes, the island and lunar landscape are similar. Only the dense vegetation in the skirt of the peak-covered peak of the Sierra Negra rests from the barren landscape below.This unfriendly environment is house to the huge Galapagos tortoise. About five million years after the birth of the Galapagos, the islands were occupied by one or more turtles off the mainland of South America. As these ancestral turtles settled on separate islands, distinct peoples developed at least 14 different subspecies to suit their unique environments. Island life agreed with them. In the absence of important predators, they grew into the biggest and longest turtles on the planet, weighing more than 400 kilograms, sometimes 1.8 meters long, and living for more than a century.Before humans arrived, the archipelago had millions of turtles. From the 17th century, pirates took some for food, but with the arrival of whale ships in the 1790s, this exploitation increased exponentially. The turtles, which are relatively unmoving and capable of surviving for months without food or water, were transported on these ships to serve as food items during lengthy sea journeys. Sometimes, their bodies were processed into top-quality oil.In total, 200,000 animals were taken from the archipelago before the 20th century. This recorded exploitation then intensified when immigrants arrived on the islands. They hunted turtles and killed their habitat to empty the land for agriculture. They also introduced alien species that could hunt or lay eggs and hurt or kill their habitat, ranging from livestock, pigs, goats, rats, and dogs to plants and ants.Today, only 11 of the actual subspecies survive, many of which are highly endangered. In 1989, work started on a turtle breeding center outside the city of Puerto Villamil in Isabela, dedicated to saving the island's turtle population. The center's captive breeding program proved to be very successful, and it finally had to deal with a large population issue.The issue was also stressful. Captive turtles cannot be reintroduced into the wild until they are at least five years old and weigh at least 4.5 kilograms, at which time their size and weight and the toughened shells are capable of saving them frompredators. But if people wait too long after that, the turtles will ultimately become too big to carry.For many years, on long, treacherous walks on narrow paths, turtles were carried in small numbers, carried on the backs of males. But in November 2010, Godfrey Merlin, an environmentalist and liaison officer for Galapagos National Park, and the visiting private motorboat captain and helicopter pilot assembled around a table in a small cafe on the island of Santa Cruz in Puerto Ayora to perform a more ambitious reintroduction. The purpose was to transport the 300turtles from the breeding center to different places near the Sierra Negra by helicopter.This remarkable action was made by the owners of the 67-meter White Cloud boat, who used the helicopter and its professional pilot and boat, as well as the logistics help of its captain and crew, for free to Galapagos National Park. First, an air ambulance, the boat's helicopter has a rear dual door and a big interior space very appropriate for cargo, so a custom crate is created to hold 33 turtles with a total weight of 150 kilograms. With this weight, fuel, pilot, and four crew, the helicopter's full payload was approaching, and there were times when it was undoubtedly on the border of the helicopter's capacities. For three days, a team of volunteers from the breeding center worked 24 hours a day to prepare young turtles for transport. At the same time, park keepers landed prematurely in remote locations and removed landing sites with dense brush, cacti, and volcanic rocks.Once they are released, the young turtles quickly spread to their ancestral territory, exploring their new environment and eating the plants. Finally, a small tortoise saw a full-grown giant who had been cutting down a tree for a hundred years around the island. The two stood side by side, a strong sign of the regeneration of an ancient race.Flying tortoises IELTS reading questionsQuestion (1-4)Choose the correct letter,A - D.1.Most uneven volcanic plains that separate the interior of Isabella's Galapagos Island from theA.

flying tortoises概括
"Flying Tortoises" 是一篇关于加拉帕戈斯象龟（Galapagos tortoise）的文章，它描述了这些独特的生物在加拉帕戈斯群岛上的生活和进化。

加拉帕戈斯象龟是地球上体型最大、寿命最长的乌龟，而加拉帕戈斯群岛是一个不适宜人类居住的环境，却成为了这些巨大乌龟的家园。

the three tortoises阅读理解The Three TortoisesOnce upon a time, there were three tortoises who were friends. They lived in a beautiful garden full of trees and flowers. The garden was also home to many other animals, including rabbits, squirrels, and birds.The three tortoises had different personalities. The oldest tortoise was wise and thoughtful. He always planned ahead and was careful not to make mistakes. The middle-aged tortoise was kind and loyal. He was always ready to help his friends in need. The youngest tortoise was impulsive and reckless. He often made foolish decisions without thinking them through.One day, the three tortoises decided to climb a tall tree in the garden to see the view. The oldest tortoise said, "Let's climb to the top of the tree and see what's on the other side." The middle-aged tortoise agreed, but the youngest tortoise said, "I'm not sure if I can climb that high.""Don't be afraid," said the oldest tortoise. "We'll help you." So the three tortoises began to climb the tree.As they climbed, the youngest tortoise got excited and started to climb faster. He reached the top of the tree before the other two tortoises. When he got to the top, he saw a beautiful landscape full of mountains and rivers. He was so happy that he decided to stay there and enjoy the view.The oldest and middle-aged tortoises continued to climb until they reached the top. When they got there, they saw that the youngest tortoise had fallen off the tree and was lying on the ground, unable to move. They quickly climbed down and helped him up.The oldest tortoise said, "We should be careful when we do things. Impulsive actions can lead to disaster." The middle-aged tortoise agreed and added, "We should always think before we act."The youngest tortoise was very grateful for his friends' help and said, "I'm sorry for my foolish behavior. I will be more careful in the future."After that, the three tortoises learned to be more cautious when making decisions and avoided any further accidents. They also became closer friends and spent many happy days together in the garden.这个故事告诉我们，在做决定时应该谨慎行事，避免冲动和鲁莽的决定，因为它们可能导致灾难性的后果。

第二只乌龟名叫中乌龟，它虽然不如大乌龟勇敢，但也不会轻易退缩。

最后一只乌龟名叫小乌龟，它非常胆小怕事，总是犹豫不决。

一天，大乌龟提议要大家一起去看看外面的世界，中乌龟也表示支持。

小乌龟害怕危险，不敢参加。

于是，大乌龟和中乌龟开始了他们的冒险之旅。

一路上，大乌龟和中乌龟遇到了许多困难和危险，但他们勇敢地面对并克服了它们。

他们穿过了茂密的森林，跨过了沼泽地，爬上了陡峭的山峰。

他们时而爬行，时而奔跑，一直不停地前进。

最终，他们征服了一切障碍，到达了目的地。

他们看到了壮丽的风景，收获了宝贵的经历。

而在同一个时刻，小乌龟仍然躲在角落里，不敢踏出冒险之旅。

它一直以来都在担心会有危险，不敢去尝试。

最终，小乌龟只是望着远方的大山，远远地羡慕着大乌龟和中乌龟的勇敢和冒险精神。

这个故事提醒我们，勇气和决心是我们成功的关键。

大乌龟和中乌龟因为他们勇敢的心态和不懈的努力而成功。

而小乌龟因为害怕和犹豫而错失了机会。

这告诉我们在人生中，我们必须要勇敢面对困难和挑战。

只有这样，我们才能够迎来成功的机会。

此外，这个故事也告诉我们，害怕失败是没有意义的。

大乌龟和中乌龟在冒险过程中也遇到了很多问题，但他们从中吸取教训并持续努力。

失败并不可怕，重要的是我们要从失败中学习，并继续前进。

正如大乌龟和中乌龟一样，他们的勇敢和坚持给了他们一个机会去征服困难并收获成功。

最后，这个故事也告诉我们，要相信自己的能力。

大乌龟和中乌龟之所以敢于迎接挑战，是因为他们相信自己能够克服困难。

相反，小乌龟因为缺乏自信而错失了机会。

信任自己的能力是非常重要的，只有这样才能充分发挥自身的潜力。

通过《三只乌龟》这个故事，我们可以学到很多生活哲理。

He knew very well the hare ran a hundred t imes faster than he himself did.”“He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won the race by pushing on steadily.”Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare didn’t happen to fall asleep, th e tortoise wo uld never win the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never win the race.

He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer (自动换币器) fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a coin out of his changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese and other milk products. If we needed to change our order, my mother would write on a note-“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”-and put it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.All of this was about more than convenience(方便). There was a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, as a result, making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch (门廊). Every time my son’s friends ask what it is, I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.1．Why did Mr. Basille give the boy a coin out of his changer?A．To show his magical power.B．To satisfy the boy’s curiosity（好奇心）C．To pay for the milk.D．To win the family’s trust (信任).2．What can be inferred (推断) from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy’s house？A．He wanted to have tea there.B．He was a powerful person.C．He was treated as a family member.D．He was fully trusted by the family.3．Why is there no home milk delivery today?A．Nobody wants to be a milkman now.B．The government has stopped it by law.C．It has been driven out of the market.D．Its service is becoming worse and worse.4．Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A．He missed the good old days.B．He wanted to tell interesting stories.C．He missed it for his milk bottles.D．He used it to beautify the back porch.E17、1．Theabove material is probably from a .A．Newspaper B．Textbook C．Website D．magazine2．Who is the above material especially for?A．Science B．Doctors of chemistryC．Animal lovers D．Middle school students3．Which part doesn’t include a listening material?A．MAGIC WORLD B．OUR WORLDC．SCIENCE STUDY D．SCHOOL TIME4．You can read about the following information EXCEPT in SCIENCE STUDY.A．What people find in the human body B．A kind of animalC．The secret of names D．Chemical colors5．If you want to learn something about the customs in a foreign country, you can read .A．MAGIC WORLD B．OUR WORLDC．READING & WRITING D．FRONTPAGEF18、"What! You, too? I thought I was the only one." Have you ever said this to someone? If so, you may have ended up becoming friends with this person.It seems that similarity often helps from friendships. The Greek philosopher (哲学家) Aristotle once said, "Some define (下定义) it (friendship) as a matter of similarity; they say that we love those who are like ourselves."Now, there is some science behind this idea. Scientists from University of California said friends have similar brains, Scientific America reported.The scientists invited 42 university students to take part in an experiment. Each student watched the same set of videos, which included a comedy, a debate (讨论) and a soccer match. At the same time, scientists scanned(扫描) their brains and recorded their brain activity.Similar parts of their brains became active while watching the videos, especially parts that are connected with motivation (动力), learning and memory. According to their scans, friends who watched the same videos parts reacted in similar ways. However, people who weren't friends has different reactions to the same video parts.Having close friends whose brain react like ours may be useful because it makes one's own value, opinions, and interests stronger, lead scientist Carolyn Parkinson told Business Insider.But brain similarity is not the only thing that can result in friendship. Scientists from the University of Leipzig, Germany, found that friendship is also based on how physically close you are to someone. They did an experiment with first-year college students who met in class for the first time. Is this experiment, students who sat in neighboring seats were more likely to become friends.1．What does "this idea " in Paragraph 3 refer to ?A．Many friendships start with small chats B．Friends try to develop similarities between themselves.C．People with similarities may become friends D．We like those who like us first.2．What did the scans of the students' brain show?A．They had watched the same video partsB．Friends had similar reactions to the same video partsC．Watching videos improves one's memoryD．It's good to have friends who react similarly3．According to the story, what else may help build friendship?A．Being fun and helpful B．Studying at the same collegeC．Having similar appearance D．Being physically closeⅤ.书面表达19、世界卫生组织的一项研究报告显示，我国青少年近视率居世界第一。
