（2023·福建泉州·统考三模）In China, each year we produce about 150 million tons of city waste according to a report. Where does the waste go? People usually burn or bury (埋) it. On the other hand, we receive waste from some developed countries. We get useful materials from it. What about the useless part? Still burned or buried. But is it a proper way?

Waste pollutes the environment, harms people’s health and causes animals to die. It also gets in the way of green and sustainable development. We can’t make money at the cost of the environment. We should leave clean water and green mountains to our next generations (一代人).

China is getting really serious about waste now.

We are taking less waste from developed countries. From January 2018, China started to stop 24 kinds of waste coming into our country. And more laws and rules about dealing with waste have been made. Anyone who breaks the law will be punished.

China also tries to put waste into good use. One example is the waste electricity factories. They burn waste to make electricity in a green way. No harmful gases or water will get into the environment.

The Chinese government is encouraging people to do waste sorting. Cities like Shanghai, Chongqing and Beijing have their own sorting systems. More will join them soon. As President Xi Jinping said during a visit to Shanghai, waste sorting is a new fashion. More and more people are forming the habit of separating their waste.

6．The writer starts the passage by ________.

（2023·福建三明·统考一模）For most people, the simple, cheap and common bicycle is just a way of transportation. But the United Nations sees it as a useful tool to deal with climate change.

On March 15, the UN General Assembly passed a resolution(决议) suggesting bicycles as a tool for solving problems about climate change.

It calls on member countries to choose bicycles in public transportation systems. The more people choose bicycles instead of cars, the fewer greenhouse gas emissions(温室气体排放) will be produced. What’s more, it pays attention to bicycle-sharing services.

The resolution from the UN came at a time when climate change returned to the center of global(全球的) attention. On Feb. 28, the UN gave people a new report on climate change. It warns that the global average(平均的) temperature will rise by 1. 5℃ above pre-industrial(工业化前的) levels. More than 40 percent of the world’s population will be influenced by climate change.

The UN said transportation is the third-largest producer of carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas that causes global warming. Choosing a bike over a car just once a day can reduce a person’s transportation carbon emissions by 67 percent according to a study from the University of Oxford.

The UN resolution could be seen as an acceptance of China’s 14 years’ hard work of bike sharing. More than 360 Chinese cities have bike-sharing systems that include nearly 20 million bicycles for an average of 47 million trips each day, said China’s Ministry of Transport. China’s bike-sharing systems can help reduce CO2 by 4. 8 million tons every year.

11．What’s the purpose of the UN passing the resolution about bicycles?

A．To improve the quality of bicycles. B．To encourage people to ride a bike more often.
