INPE, Brazil's national space agency （航天局）, announced on August 3,2023 that deforestation declined 66% from the same time in 2022. 刷外刊·刷时文 返回目录 7 INPE used a satellite system to watch the loss of forest in the Amazon. The agency found that in July 2022, about 1,486.65 square kilometers of rainforest were cleared. In July 2023, about 499.87 square kilometers of rainforest were cleared. The numbers from July 2023 were important because July usually meant the beginning of the season in which the greatest deforestation happened. 刷外刊·刷时文 返回目录 8 Marina Silva, Brazil's environment minister, said that government actions, such as increased watching of the rainforest and fines （罚款） for people who cut down trees illegally （非法）, have helped slow the loss of forest. The government has also created more protected areas and allowed indigenous people （the first people known to have been living in a place） to have the rights to manage more of the land. 刷外刊·刷时文 返回目录 9 The president of Brazil has promised to end deforestation by 2030. On August 8 and 9, 2023, he met leaders of seven other rainforest nations: Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. They were expected to reach an agreement to work together to protect the Amazon from criminals who are cutting down trees and mining （采矿） for gold illegally. 阅读理解·语篇导读本文主要介绍了在巴西政府的努力下，热带雨林消失的面积在减少。 刷外刊·刷时文 返回目录 10 1.Who plays an important role in protecting the rainforest according to the passage?( ) C A.INPE.

When new electronics come out, many old ones are thrown away. These old electronics have harmful materials inside. They can hurt the environment if they get into the ground or water. 刷外刊·刷时文 返回目录 14 Electronics need special metals that are hard to find. Getting these metals from the earth can cause a lot of pollution. As we make more electronics, these metals become even harder to find. However, we can recycle these metals from old electronics instead of digging for new ones. A group called WEEE is trying to show how serious the e-waste problem is. WEEE said thrown-away e-waste that has rare （稀有的） metals is worth about ＄57 billion each year. Also, UN researchers studied “invisible” e-waste, which people don't notice much. They found that 1/6 of all e-waste is “invisible” and worth about ＄9.5 billion a year. Even though it's called “invisible” e-waste, it's a lot, weighing about 19.8 billion pounds. 刷外刊·刷时文 返回目录 Surprisingly, toys lead the “invisible” e-waste group, according to the study. In all, toys make up about 35% of the “invisible” e-waste. Every year, about 7.3 billion electronic toys are thrown away worldwide. But the problem is far larger than just toys. Home alarms, smoke alarms and power tools also lead to “invisible” e-waste. WEEE is hoping that as more people and governments pay attention to e- waste, they will make a much greater effort to make good use of old electronics before they are thrown away. After all, there are many valuable parts in them. 刷外刊·刷时文 返回目录 E-waste Definition （定义） The old electronics that are thrown away. 4.______ ·Harmful materials in them will pollute the ground or water. ·Special metals in them will be even 5.________ to find.
