2024年初中英语七年级最新时文阅读训练 专题12 环保天地 阅读理解 A An “animal kingdom” made of waste 废品打造的“动物王国” Josh is an artist from London. Since childhood, he has been in love with wildlife. “I have travelled through Asia, South America and Africa. During these travels, I was lucky enough to spend many wonderful moments with wild animals,” he said. “However, I also saw the huge amounts of all kinds of waste on my way. It was harmful to the natural environment. As a result, wild animals might lose their homes." These travels gave Josh the idea to create some works about the animals he had seen in the wild. He hoped his works could make people realize the importance of protecting wild animals.

Now he uses a more common material for his works- waste cardboard(硬纸板). Though it is difficult to work with just cardboard, Josh makes the most out of the material. He makes it into different shapes and textures(纹理)to make fur for animal sculptures. Some of his works may need several months to complete. “I have always tried to make my artworks eco-friendly,” said Josh.
