This makes us pay more attention to our environment and the need to protect it. When Wang Boxuan, a Yancheng high schoolboy, uses up (用尽) his exercise books, he does not throw them away. Each one is stored at his school with hundreds of exercise books given by other students. Then they are sold to a Yancheng paper making factory. The paper is recycled and used again by students and teachers in the school. At the same time, the money made from the sales goes towards schools in Inner Mongolia for planting trees and grass. This place is one of the sources (源头) of the sandstorms that often attack Beijing during springtime. Wang’s school is one of the schools in the city that take part in the “green promise (承诺)” environmental protection activity. So far, nearly 210,000 students have taken part in the activity, collecting more than 87 tons (吨) of waste paper. With the Olympic Games coming to Beijing in 2008, students are eager (渴望) to help make the capital a more pleasant place. “There are some environment problems in the city, such as sandstorms,” said Wang. “We should do our duty and encourage others to do so as well.” 1.

Making Money 2 Taking away a city’s rubbish is a big job. Every day trucks come into a city to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we can’t eat or use. If we kept these things, we would soon have a mountain of rubbish. In some cities, the rubbish is collected and taken outside of the city to a dump(垃圾场). Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system. The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets, bathtubs(浴缸) and other places. To keep mice and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then you’d never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump. In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything but the metal. Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal. The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they slowly change into something called humus(腐殖质), which looks like black earth. It is rich with some kinds of things that feed plants and help them grow. 5. Where is the rubbish put after it is taken outside of city? A. On the mountain. B. In the water. C. In low places. D. In special rooms. 6. What does the underlined word “sewage” mean in Chinese in this passage? A. 排污 B. 染色 C. 洗涤 D. 吸尘 7. What CANNOT we infer from paragraph 3? A. Mice and flies love newly dumped rubbish. B. People recycle the rubbish by building schools. C. Some buildings are built on once wasted land. D. Planting grass is a good way to improve polluted land. 8. How should we take care of a used metal box according to the passage? A. By burning it off. B. By putting it in water. C. By throwing it away. D. By reusing and recycling it. 9. What is the main idea of this passage? A. To let us know taking away rubbish is a big job. B. To explain the need for rubbish collection. C. To introduce different ways to treat rubbish. D. To tell people to take useful things out of rubbish. 3 Water is valuable. And we are always short of water. What can we do to save water? Here is some advice no matter you are indoors or outdoors. Notice the leaks in your home. Check the toilet to see if it works well. Of course, the pipes in your home can leak. If these happen, repair them at once. Take showers. A shower uses less water than a bath. If you have a shower, it can save more water. Don’t let water run while washing your face. Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth. Use used water to water a plant or garden, or clean a car before it goes into a sewage plant. Don’t water your lawn too often. In fact, lawns only need watering every 5 to 7 days in summer and every 10 to 14 days in winter. Water lawns during the early morning hours when temperatures and the wind speed are the lowest. In a word, try to save water. Every person can make a difference. So tell your friends and neighbors to “Turn it off”. 10. There are ________ pieces of advice to save water.

It was held over a weekend in a park in Paris. Like most music festivals, it had wonderful singers and music. However, there was something special about this one. You see, this was a green festival! From the food to the stalls (摊位), everything was as environmentally friendly as possible. The festival was powered by solar energy. There were specially labeled bins (贴有标签的垃圾桶) so that the waste could be used again after the festival. Free fresh water was provided for everyone so that guests didn’t need to buy drinks in plastic bottles. There were many stalls for everyone, from little children to the old. This seems like such a great idea, to make something very fun and not cause great pollution to the environment. I have discovered that there are more events similar to this across the world! I really hope that there will be more events like We Love Green. These environmentally friendly practices tell people being green doesn’t mean being boring. It can be quite fun. As a result, more people may be encouraged to consider the role they play in the environmental protection. 15. What did the writer do recently in Paris? A. He ran a food stall. B.

A Great Green Experience C. Advice on how to Be Green D. Environmental Protection Practices 5 Hundreds of years ago, life was harder than it is today. People didn’t have modern machines. There was no modern medicine, either. Life today has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution to all living things in the world. Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day. Sometimes the polluted air is so thick that it is like a quilt (被状物) over a city. This kind of quilt is called smog. Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. Factories must clean their water now before it is thrown away and they mustn’t let dirty smoke go into the air. We need to do many other things. We can put waste things in the dustbin and not throw them on the ground. We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car. If there are fewer people driving, there will be less pollution. Rules are not enough. Every person must help to fight pollution. 20. The most serious kind of pollution is ________. A. noise pollution B. air pollution C. water pollution D. A, B and C 21. Factories must clean their water ________. A. before they are thrown away B. when they are thrown away C. after it is thrown away D. before it is thrown away 22. From the passage, we know that ________. A. a few years ago, there was no smog at all B. today people don’t have to talk to each other loudly C. we can drink water from the polluted rivers and lakes D. people are making rules in order to (为了) fight pollution 6 While long-distance travel is not a top choice during the COVID-19 pandemic (大流行), camping has risen as a new travel trend (趋势) for people living in Chinese cities. A report by online travel website Tongcheng Travel showed that during the recent May Day holiday, camping-related searches increased by 117 percent compared with April. Forests and islands were the two most popular location (地点) types. Ji Nan, 31, from Zhejiang, went camping with her friends in the mountains during the holiday. “It was relaxing,” Ji told China Daily. She said camping is a good way to get closer to nature and enjoy outdoor activities. The growing popularity has also increased the need for camping equipment (装备) such as tents, outdoor tables and chairs and sleeping bags. Trip, an online travel agency, said page views for their camping goods on the first day of the May Day holiday rose by 90 percent over the previous (之前的) week, reported Global Times. However, the need for campsites（营地）is greater. “Everywhere is full and there is a tent every several meters,” a tourist surnamed Yun, from Beijing, told Global Times. Besides, camping isn’t always good for the local environment. In Beijing’s Shuangfeng campsite, some of the land is barren (荒芜的) from too much foot traffic. Rubbish, like bamboo barbecue sticks and plastic plates (塑料餐盘), could be seen everywhere, reported Xinhua. The government needs to provide more green space for tourists and call on people to protect the environment while camping, said Song Yu a researcher from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. 23. Which places are the most popular for camping? A. Forests and city parks. B. Forests and islands. C. Islands and city parks. 24. In Paragraph 4, the underlined word “increase” means “　　　　” in Chinese. A. 改变 B. 增加 C. 降低 25. What can we learn from Paragraph 5? A. There are enough campsites for tourists. B. People throw rubbish everywhere when they are camping. C. Foot traffic is always good for the land. 26. What should the government do according to the passage? A. Stop people from eating food at campsites. B. Encourage more people to go camping. C. Call on campers to protect the environment. 7 Whether you’ve noticed it or not, fewer and fewer bees are around us now. About one quarter of the world’s 20,000 bee species (品种) have disappeared since 1990. There are many reasons for that, including too much use of pesticides (杀虫剂), loss of plants and human activities that damage (破坏) their living places. But the main reason is the climate change, which is changing the bees’ environments in a faster way than they are able to get used to. A map of where bees live across the world was just made by scientists from China and the US. To help people know about bees and protect them better, they tried to find out different species of bees in different areas. According to the map, there are more species of bees in the north half than in the south half of the earth, and more in dry warm areas than in wet forest areas. In fact, bees are important contributors to humans and the whole world. When bees are flying from one place to another, they are helping many plants to pollinate (授粉). In other words, without bees, fresh fruit and vegetables would be fewer and fewer around the world. Therefore, we human should make our efforts to protect bees. As for what to do to help, plant some plants to attract bees to your garden. If you see bees around you, take some photos and post them on the Internet so scientists can help find out where bees live and how bees move. We can come up with more ideas to save bee populations around the world. 27. How many bee species have disappeared since 1990? A. About 5,000. B. About 10,000. C. About 20,000. D. Over 20,000 . 28. Which is NOT a reason for the drop of bee population? A. Wide use of pesticides. B. Worse living places. C. The fast climate change. D. Fewer fresh fruit and vegetables. 29. Which does the bee map tell us? A. Bees like living in wet places. B. Bees are protected better than before. C. Where different bee species live. D. The south half of the earth has more bee species. 30. What does the underlined word “contributors” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Makers B. Helpers C. Finders D. Carriers 31. What is the last paragraph about? A. Ways of bee protection. B. Changes of bees’ living environment. C. Bee populations around the world. D. The importance of protecting bee species. 8 Now China has five national parks. They protect nearly 30% of the important wild species (野生物种) in China, Let’s take a look at three of them. Giant Panda National ParkLocation (地址) : Sichuan，Shaanxi and Gansu More than 80% of China’s wild giant pandas live there! The park builds many small houses for pandas in these three provinces. Besides pandas, leopards  (金钱豹) and monkeys also live in the park. Pandas and their “neighbors” can live and play together. National Park of Hainan Tropical (热带的) RainforestLocation: Hainan As big as 4,400 square kilometers, it has a very large tropical forest. The forest covers nearly 96%of the park. More than 400 kinds of endemic (特有的) plants are growing in the park. There are 35 Hainan gibbons (长臂猿) in the park. They are the only surviving (幸存的) members of the species in the world. What’s more, Hainan’s three highest mountains are also in the park. Sanjiangyuan National ParkLocation: Qinghai It is the largest national park in China. It is about 14 times the area of Yellowstone National Park in the United States. People call it “the water tower of China”, because it is home to the sources (源头)of the Yangtze River, the Yellow River and the Lancang River. It is also home to hundreds of animal species. 32.

There was no modern medicine, either. Life today has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution to all living things in the world. Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day. Sometimes the polluted air is so thick that it is like a quilt (被状物) over a city. This kind of quilt is called smog. Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. Factories must clean their water now before it is thrown away and they mustn’t let dirty smoke go into the air. We need to do many other things. We can put waste things in the dustbin and not throw them on the ground. We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car. If there are fewer people driving, there will be less pollution. Rules are not enough. Every person must help to fight pollution. 20. The most serious kind of pollution is ________. A. noise pollution B. air pollution C. water pollution D. A, B and C 21. Factories must clean their water ________. A. before they are thrown away B. when they are thrown away C. after it is thrown away D. before it is thrown away 22.

A report by online travel website Tongcheng Travel showed that during the recent May Day holiday, camping-related searches increased by 117 percent compared with April. Forests and islands were the two most popular location (地点) types. Ji Nan, 31, from Zhejiang, went camping with her friends in the mountains during the holiday. “It was relaxing,” Ji told China Daily. She said camping is a good way to get closer to nature and enjoy outdoor activities. The growing popularity has also increased the need for camping equipment (装备) such as tents, outdoor tables and chairs and sleeping bags. Trip, an online travel agency, said page views for their camping goods on the first day of the May Day holiday rose by 90 percent over the previous (之前的) week, reported Global Times. However, the need for campsites（营地）is greater. “Everywhere is full and there is a tent every several meters,” a tourist surnamed Yun, from Beijing, told Global Times. Besides, camping isn’t always good for the local environment. In Beijing’s Shuangfeng campsite, some of the land is barren (荒芜的) from too much foot traffic. Rubbish, like bamboo barbecue sticks and plastic plates (塑料餐盘), could be seen everywhere, reported Xinhua. The government needs to provide more green space for tourists and call on people to protect the environment while camping, said Song Yu a researcher from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. 23. Which places are the most popular for camping? A. Forests and city parks. B. Forests and islands. C. Islands and city parks. 24.

People throw rubbish everywhere when they are camping. C. Foot traffic is always good for the land. 26. What should the government do according to the passage? A. Stop people from eating food at campsites. B. Encourage more people to go camping. C. Call on campers to protect the environment. 7 Whether you’ve noticed it or not, fewer and fewer bees are around us now. About one quarter of the world’s 20,000 bee species (品种) have disappeared since 1990. There are many reasons for that, including too much use of pesticides (杀虫剂), loss of plants and human activities that damage (破坏) their living places. But the main reason is the climate change, which is changing the bees’ environments in a faster way than they are able to get used to. A map of where bees live across the world was just made by scientists from China and the US. To help people know about bees and protect them better, they tried to find out different species of bees in different areas. According to the map, there are more species of bees in the north half than in the south half of the earth, and more in dry warm areas than in wet forest areas. In fact, bees are important contributors to humans and the whole world. When bees are flying from one place to another, they are helping many plants to pollinate (授粉). In other words, without bees, fresh fruit and vegetables would be fewer and fewer around the world. Therefore, we human should make our efforts to protect bees. As for what to do to help, plant some plants to attract bees to your garden. If you see bees around you, take some photos and post them on the Internet so scientists can help find out where bees live and how bees move. We can come up with more ideas to save bee populations around the world. 27. How many bee species have disappeared since 1990? A. About 5,000. B. About 10,000. C. About 20,000. D. Over 20,000 . 28. Which is NOT a reason for the drop of bee population? A. Wide use of pesticides. B. Worse living places. C. The fast climate change. D. Fewer fresh fruit and vegetables. 29. Which does the bee map tell us? A. Bees like living in wet places. B. Bees are protected better than before. C. Where different bee species live. D. The south half of the earth has more bee species. 30. What does the underlined word “contributors” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Makers B. Helpers C. Finders D. Carriers 31. What is the last paragraph about? A. Ways of bee protection. B. Changes of bees’ living environment. C. Bee populations around the world. D. The importance of protecting bee species. 8 Now China has five national parks. They protect nearly 30% of the important wild species (野生物种) in China, Let’s take a look at three of them.
