Farmers used to make full use of natural resources. They used animal manure as fertilizer, which was a good way to recycle waste. They also practiced intercropping, which could make better use of land and sunlight. In addition, they made tools from bamboo and wood. These materials were easy to get and could be recycled. However, with the development of modern agriculture, some of these traditional methods are being forgotten. We should learn from our ancestors and keep these good traditions. 长难句分析： 1.In Chinese traditional farming culture, there are many low-carbon ideas. 分析：“In Chinese traditional farming culture” 是表示范围的状语，意思是 “在中国传统农耕文化中” 。“there are” 是常见的存在句型结构，表示 “有” ，“many low-carbon ideas” 是句子的主语，表示存在的事物，即 “很多低碳理念”。 翻译：在中国传统农耕文化中，有很多低碳理念。 ( ) 1. Chinese traditional farming culture has nothing to do with low-carbon ideas. ( ) 2. Farmers used animal manure as fertilizer to recycle waste. ( ) 3. Intercropping couldn't make use of land and sunlight. ( ) 4. Bamboo and wood used for making tools are hard to get. ( ) 5. We should remember and use the good traditions in traditional farming. D篇 讲述现代社会中如何借鉴清明节植树习俗来践行低碳生活，阅读文章，判断句子正（T）误（F）。 主题：传统节日与低碳生活 - 清明节植树 语篇类型：议论文 The Qingming Festival has a long history in China. One of its traditions is planting trees. This tradition is not only a way to commemorate ancestors but also has a positive impact on the environment. In modern society, we can still follow this tradition to live a low-carbon life. Planting trees can absorb carbon dioxide, reduce air pollution and make our living environment more beautiful. We can organize tree - planting activities in our communities or schools. Let's make good use of this traditional festival's custom to contribute to a low-carbon world. 长难句分析： 1.This tradition is not only a way to commemorate ancestors but also has a positive impact on the environment. 分析：“This tradition” 是句子主语，表示 “这个传统” 。“is not only...but also...” 是一个常用的并列结构，连接两个谓语部分。“is a way to commemorate ancestors” 中，“is” 是系动词，“a way” 是表语，“to commemorate ancestors” 是动词不定式作后置定语，修饰 “way”，表示 “纪念祖先的方式” ；“has a positive impact on the environment” 中，“has” 是谓语动词，“a positive impact” 是宾语，“on the environment” 是介词短语作后置定语，修饰 “impact”，表示 “对环境的积极影响” 。 翻译：这个传统不仅是纪念祖先的一种方式，而且对环境有积极影响。 ( ) 1. Planting trees during the Qingming Festival has no environmental benefits. ( ) 2. Planting trees can absorb carbon dioxide and reduce air pollution. ( ) 3. We can't organize tree - planting activities in schools. ( ) 4. The Qingming Festival tradition of planting trees can help us live a low-carbon life. ( ) 5. We should forget the tree - planting tradition during the Qingming Festival. 历史故事 Zigong's Love for Trees: Inheriting the Virtue of Low - Carbon Living In ancient China, during the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a wise and kind - hearted man named Zigong. He was one of Confucius' disciples. One day, Zigong passed by a village. He saw people cutting down a large number of trees to build houses and make firewood. The once - green mountains were becoming bare. Zigong felt very sad. He thought that the trees were an important part of nature. They could protect the soil, provide shade, and give homes to many animals. Cutting them down so recklessly would do great harm to the environment. Zigong decided to do something. He gathered the villagers together and said, "Dear villagers, these trees are like our friends. They help us in many ways. If we keep cutting them down, we will lose a lot. We should use them sparingly and plant new trees when we cut some down." The villagers listened carefully. They realized that what Zigong said made sense. From then on, they started to protect the trees. They only cut down trees when necessary and planted new trees every spring. The mountains gradually became green again, and the environment improved. Zigong's story spread far and wide. People learned from him that we should cherish natural resources and live in harmony with nature. This is also an important part of living a low - carbon life, just like what we advocate today. Even in ancient times, people already had the wisdom to protect the environment and make sustainable use of resources. 子贡爱树：传承低碳生活的美德 在中国古代的春秋时期，有一个聪明且心地善良的人，名叫子贡，他是孔子的弟子之一。 一天，子贡路过一个村庄，看到人们砍伐大量的树木用来建造房屋和当柴烧。曾经郁郁葱葱的山峦逐渐变得光秃秃的。子贡感到非常痛心，他觉得树木是大自然的重要组成部分，它们能保护土壤、提供荫凉，还是许多动物的家园。如此肆意砍伐会对环境造成极大的破坏。 子贡决定做点什么。他把村民们召集起来说：“亲爱的乡亲们，这些树木就像我们的朋友，它们在很多方面帮助着我们。如果我们持续砍伐，我们将会失去很多。我们应该节约使用木材砍树的时候也要记得种上新树。” 村民们认真地听着，他们意识到子贡说得很有道理。从那以后，他们开始保护树木，只在必的时候砍伐，并且每年春天都会种上新树。山峦渐渐又恢复了绿色，环境也变好了。 子贡的故事广为流传。人们从他身上学到，应该珍惜自然资源，与自然和谐相处。这也是如今我们倡导的低碳生活的重要部分。即便在古代，人们就已经拥有保护环境、可持续利用资源的智慧。 参考答案 A篇 1.【答案】B 【解析】文章开头明确提到 “Today is Low-carbon Day.”，所以今天是低碳日，选 B。 2.【答案】C 【解析】文中 “Amy says, 'We should use less plastic.
