Ⅳ.阅读理解
As a small boy in Norwich, England, Andy Ridley dreamt of an underwater world so full of life, it couldn't possibly exist. But decades later, a grown-up Andy found it in real life — and his underwater fantasy world turned out to be even bigger than the UK.
The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is about 344,400 sq km and is so large it can be seen from space. As CEO of the new Citizens of the GBR initiative (计划), he wants ordinary people around the world to play a part in protecting this famous habitat, which is suffering from another widespread bleaching (白化) event.
It's not the first time Andy has taken on such a huge task. He co-founded Earth Hour (EH), which involves people and businesses turning off their lights for the same hour each year.

“The Great Barrier Reef is a mirror on humanity — the health of the reef reflects how we're treating the planet，” Andy says. “I was working in the Netherlands and I started to see the stories about what was going on in the reef. I wanted to see what was really going on.”
So, in 2002, Andy, his zoologist wife, Dr Tammie Matson, and their two young children, left the bright lights of Europe for a life under the stars in Cairns.
Andy says one of his most magical experiences was on an early trip to Osprey Island. “I'd never seen anything like it，” he says.“It was full of life.” After this memorable dive Andy imagined how he could use the reef to create change, and Citizens of the GBR was born.
Whether you're a child growing up in a New York apartment or a grandfather living in Beijing, anyone can register (注册) as a “citizen” and have a say in how the GBR is protected. Registration will allow you to vote online on which projects the initiative finances and be kept informed of the results.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。从“地球一小时”到“大堡礁公民”，为了保护环境，Andy Ridley又开启了新的征程。
1．What is the aim of the GBR initiative? A．To stop the reef from turning white. B．To find an underwater world full of life. C．To build a fantasy world based on reality. D．To attract visitors to the Great Barrier Reef.

2．Why did Andy go to Cairns? A．To do some business. B．To have a family holiday. C．To look for an interesting job. D．To look into the bleaching event.
