阅读下列短文,从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。
A
Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost mention recycling. Recycling in the homes is very important. However, having to recycle often means we already have more products than we need. We are just dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way, but it would be much better if we did not bring so many goods home.
The total amount of packaging (外包装) has increased by 12% between 2001 and 2007. It is 1/3 of a home's waste in the UK. In many supermarkets, food products are packaged twice with plastic and paper. Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of land because of this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect (温室效应). Besides, the plastic from the package puts some creatures (生物) in danger, especially birds and fish.
Recycling helps, but the recycling itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such waste in the first place. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, few of them have the idea that this cannot continue.
But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have been used to the idea that packaging means excellence while anything unpackaged is of poor condition. This is especially true of food. But this idea has spread to other products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.
There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how many unnecessary goods are collected. We need to face the waste of our consumer culture (消费文化), but we have a mountain to climb.
36.What does the underlined word “over-consumption” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. 过度包装 B. 回收废物 C. 过度消费 D. 过度生产
37.Which of the following damage of over packaging is NOT mentioned?
A. It may waste land.
B. It may do harm to the living things, like birds and fish.
C. It may pollute the food.
D. It may make the greenhouse effect worse.
38.According to Paragraph 3, what is in the first place to help protect the environment?
A. Recycling.
B. Not to produce waste.
C. Not to buy products in the supermarkets.
D. Not to use energy.
39.What do people think of packaged products?
A. Supermarkets encourage them to buy those products.
B. Packaged products are much cheaper.
C. It is unnecessary for food to have packaging.
D. People think packaged products are better than unpackaged ones.
40.What does the writer tell us in the last paragraph?
A. Fighting waste is difficult.
B. Doing exercise is good, like climbing the mountain.
C. People don't waste anymore.
D. We should continue our consumer culture.
B
Pangolin(穿山甲)is a kind of animal in great danger. At the beginning of 2020, it comes into the eyes of people again with the COVID-19(新型冠状病毒肺炎). Scientists find it may be the middle host of the COVID-19. However, some people eat it as a delicious food or medicine.
Pangolins live in the earth for over 40 million years. And there are 8 different kinds of pangolins around the world, 4 in Asia and the others in Africa. Usually they hide in the mountains. They go out at night and sleep during the day. When they meet dangers, their hard coats get closed and make them like a ball. Because they have no teeth and never cry, it is easy for bad people to catch them. In the past 10 years, 1 million pangolins are on sale in the black market. One scientist said nearly every 5 minutes 1 pangolin left its homeland. What heart-breaking news!
As we know, pangolins are our friends. They eat over 70 kinds of ants. One year one pangolin can eat 7 million harmful ants for our forests. Every time pangolins find one family of ants, they just eat a half and leave the other half to live. How kind the little animals are!
41.Why do pangolins catch people's eyes this year?
A. They are delicious food.
B. They are good medicine.

At present, too much carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) makes the earth warmer and warmer and causes terrible effect to human beings. To save our planet, to save ourselves, a new lifestyle called low-carbon life (低碳生活) becomes popular. Low carbon means low energy and no waste. It is necessary for everybody to learn to live a low-carbon life.
To live a low-carbon life, we'd better save energy as possible. Turn off the lights and TV whenever they are not needed. If possible, use cold water to wash clothes or dishes. Take a short shower and try to take a cold one when the weather gets warm. Don't do the cooking with electricity.
To live a low-carbon life, we should eat less meat. Everybody knows eating too much meat makes people fat and easy to have heart disease, but maybe you don't know keeping animals for food produces even more carbon dioxide than all the cars in the world, and being a vegetarian can help reduce one and a half tons of carbon dioxide a year. Maybe it is a little difficult, but it's really necessary.
To live a low-carbon life, we are supposed to do less shopping. When we go shopping, we may drive a car or take other transportations. On the one hand, these machines pollute the air and waste energy. On the other hand, most of us always buy some useless things because of some advertisements. It is not only a waste of money but also causes trouble to the earth, because as you know, making everything will produce carbon dioxide more or less.
There are many other ways to live low-carbon life, such as recycling things, planting trees and reusing textbooks. If we can keep it a habit in our daily life, the earth will become a safer planet for us to live on.
46.________ makes the weather on the earth get warmer.
A. Little rubbish B. A waste of money
C. Too much carbon dioxide D. A waste of water
47.We can ________ to save energy in our daily life.
A. use less electricity B. go to sleep with lights on

48.The underlined word "it" in the third paragraph means ________.
A. eating less meat B. having heart disease
C. keeping animals for food D. eating less vegetables
49.We should do less shopping because ________.
A. wasting money causes trouble to people
B. the advertisements are sometimes misleading
C. the less you shop, the less carbon dioxide will be produced
D. some of the things you bought are useless
50.If everybody lives a low-carbon life, ________.
A. we will waste more energy
B. there will be less carbon dioxide
C. the earth will become a dangerous place to live on

The world uses about a thousand million tons of water a day. Water is a human right and everyone should have their share. Yet more than 700 million people around the world have trouble getting clean, safe water.
Treating wastewater is a good way to provide fresh water for us. And it also helps the environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans. 80% of wastewater around the world is not treated at all, and it is running into oceans. But now we have got the technology to treat and reuse the wastewater.
While 75% of our planet is covered with water, only 2% is fresh water — that comes from rivers, lakes, ice and snow. The rest, 98% of the water, is in seas and oceans. It is too salty to drink. Then desalination businesses come in. More than 19,000 factories have been built around the world, mostly in coastal countries. They process more than 92 million tons of water every day. But the technology they use requires a lot of energy.
Scientists are working to create a less costly technology. They want to produce 20 times more clean water and make sure everyone has enough. But for now, the world still faces each day with not having enough water for everyone.
51.How many people have trouble in getting clean water around the world?
A. Under 10 million. B. Only 19 million.
C. About 92 million. D. Over 700 million.
52.Treating wastewater helps the environment by ________.
A. storing waste in ice and snow
B. letting waste run into oceans
C. keeping waste out of rivers and oceans
D. sending waste to coastal countries
53.What does the underlined word "desalination" in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese?
A. 远洋运输 B. 潮汐发电 C. 食盐销售 D. 海水淡化
54.At present, the technology to process water ________.
A. needs much energy B. saves much money
C. satisfies everyone D. causes pollution
55.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Water should be a human right.
B. The water problem is still serious.
C. Our planet is covered with water.
D. Everyone has enough clean water.

四、阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。
A
Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost mention recycling. Recycling in the homes is very important. However, having to recycle often means we already have more products than we need. We are just dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way, but it would be much better if we did not bring so many goods home.
The total amount of packaging (外包装) has increased by 12% between 2001 and 2007. It is 1/3 of a home's waste in the UK. In many supermarkets, food products are packaged twice with plastic and paper. Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of land because of this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect (温室效应). Besides, the plastic from the package puts some creatures (生物) in danger, especially birds and fish.
Recycling helps, but the recycling itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such waste in the first place. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, few of them have the idea that this cannot continue.
But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have been used to the idea that packaging means excellence while anything unpackaged is of poor condition. This is especially true of food. But this idea has spread to other products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.
There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how many unnecessary goods are collected. We need to face the waste of our consumer culture (消费文化), but we have a mountain to climb.
36.What does the underlined word “over-consumption” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. 过度包装 B. 回收废物 C. 过度消费 D. 过度生产
37.Which of the following damage of over packaging is NOT mentioned?
A. It may waste land.
B. It may do harm to the living things, like birds and fish.
C. It may pollute the food.
D. It may make the greenhouse effect worse.
38.According to Paragraph 3, what is in the first place to help protect the environment?
A. Recycling.
B. Not to produce waste.
C. Not to buy products in the supermarkets.
D. Not to use energy.
39.What do people think of packaged products?
A. Supermarkets encourage them to buy those products.
B. Packaged products are much cheaper.
C. It is unnecessary for food to have packaging.
D. People think packaged products are better than unpackaged ones.
40.What does the writer tell us in the last paragraph?
A. Fighting waste is difficult.
B. Doing exercise is good, like climbing the mountain.
C. People don't waste anymore.
D. We should continue our consumer culture.
【答案】C、C、B、D、A
【解析】【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文,谈论了过度包装的危害性以及回收利用的重要性。
36. 词意猜测题。从文中句子but it would be much better if we did not bring so many goods home.(但是如果我们不把这么多货物带回家的话会更好的)可以猜测出划线词意是“过度消费”。故选C。
37. 推理判断题。从文中句子Too much packaging is doing serious...in danger, especially birds and fish.(太多的包装对环境产生了严重的伤害。例如英国由于没有必要的浪费正在用光土地。如果燃烧这样的包装袋会发出大量的引起温室效应的气体。另外塑料包装袋使一些生物处于危险中,尤其是鸟和鱼。)可以判断只有C没有提到。故选C。
38. 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句The solution is not to produce such waste in the first place.(第一解决办法就是不要生产这样的废物。)可知,“不要生产这样的废物”是保护环境的首要解决办法。故选B。
39. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第三句We have been used to the idea that packaging means excellence while anything unpackaged is of poor condition.(我们已经习惯了这样观点,即包装就意味着优秀而任何没有包装的东西就是状况不好的东西。)可知人们认为包装的产品比没包装的好。故选D。
40. 段落大意题。从文章的最后一段的句子以及最后一句话but we have a mountain to climb.(但是我们还有一座山峰要去攀登。)可知我们和垃圾的战斗还是很难的。故选A。
B

At present, too much carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) makes the earth warmer and warmer and causes terrible effect to human beings. To save our planet, to save ourselves, a new lifestyle called low-carbon life (低碳生活) becomes popular. Low carbon means low energy and no waste. It is necessary for everybody to learn to live a low-carbon life.
To live a low-carbon life, we'd better save energy as possible. Turn off the lights and TV whenever they are not needed. If possible, use cold water to wash clothes or dishes. Take a short shower and try to take a cold one when the weather gets warm. Don't do the cooking with electricity.
To live a low-carbon life, we should eat less meat. Everybody knows eating too much meat makes people fat and easy to have heart disease, but maybe you don't know keeping animals for food produces even more carbon dioxide than all the cars in the world, and being a vegetarian can help reduce one and a half tons of carbon dioxide a year. Maybe it is a little difficult, but it's really necessary.
To live a low-carbon life, we are supposed to do less shopping. When we go shopping, we may drive a car or take other transportations. On the one hand, these machines pollute the air and waste energy. On the other hand, most of us always buy some useless things because of some advertisements. It is not only a waste of money but also causes trouble to the earth, because as you know, making everything will produce carbon dioxide more or less.
There are many other ways to live low-carbon life, such as recycling things, planting trees and reusing textbooks. If we can keep it a habit in our daily life, the earth will become a safer planet for us to live on.

The world uses about a thousand million tons of water a day. Water is a human right and everyone should have their share. Yet more than 700 million people around the world have trouble getting clean, safe water.
Treating wastewater is a good way to provide fresh water for us. And it also helps the environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans. 80% of wastewater around the world is not treated at all, and it is running into oceans. But now we have got the technology to treat and reuse the wastewater.
While 75% of our planet is covered with water, only 2% is fresh water — that comes from rivers, lakes, ice and snow. The rest, 98% of the water, is in seas and oceans. It is too salty to drink. Then desalination businesses come in. More than 19,000 factories have been built around the world, mostly in coastal countries. They process more than 92 million tons of water every day. But the technology they use requires a lot of energy.
Scientists are working to create a less costly technology. They want to produce 20 times more clean water and make sure everyone has enough. But for now, the world still faces each day with not having enough water for everyone.
51.How many people have trouble in getting clean water around the world?
A. Under 10 million. B. Only 19 million.
C. About 92 million. D. Over 700 million.
52.Treating wastewater helps the environment by ________.
A. storing waste in ice and snow
B. letting waste run into oceans
C. keeping waste out of rivers and oceans
D. sending waste to coastal countries
53.What does the underlined word "desalination" in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese?
A. 远洋运输 B. 潮汐发电 C. 食盐销售 D. 海水淡化
54.At present, the technology to process water ________.
A. needs much energy B. saves much money
C. satisfies everyone D. causes pollution
55.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Water should be a human right.
B. The water problem is still serious.
C. Our planet is covered with water.
D. Everyone has enough clean water.
【答案】D、C、D、A、B
【解析】【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了水资源短缺的现状以及正在寻找的解决办法。
51. 细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“Yet more than 700 million people around the world have trouble getting clean, safe water.”可知,世界上大约有 7亿多人难以得到干净的水。故选D。
52. 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“And it also helps the environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans.”可知,治理污水还有助于保护环境,使废物远离河流和海洋。故选C。
53. 词义猜测题。根据第三段第三句“It’s too salty to drink.”可知,海水太咸了不能喝。由此可推知,为了让海水可供饮用,海水淡化业务开始介入。由此可推知,desalination意为“海水淡化”。故选D。
54. 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“But the technology they use requires a lot of energy.”可知,加工水的技术需要很多能量。故选A。
55. 推理判断题。根据第四段第三句“But for now, the world still faces each day with not having enough water for everyone.”可推知,水资源问题仍然很严重。故选B。

Recently, the “Clean Plate Campaign” has been very popular with many people. Our government is doing its best to build an economized society.
As middle school students, I think we should join in the campaign. We can start with the things around us. Firstly, make sure that the lights are turned off when we finish our work and leave the room. Secondly, we can save as much paper as possible. Thirdly, it is important for us to form the habit of turning off the tap after it is used. Whatˈs more, we must not spend money buying unnecessary things. When we eat, weˈd better not use one-off chopsticks and we mustnˈt waste food.
In a word, saving energy is very important. Letˈs work together from now on!
