Laura is a green person. She has produced almost no waste in the past two years. She is trying her best to reduce waste.
There was a moment that brought Laura to do so. “One of my classmates in the college often brought food packaged (包装) in plastic bags to class. She threw a lot of rubbish,” Laura said. “I wanted to be a green girl, not the plastic girl like her! So I made the decision to get all plastic away from my life.”
It hasn’t been easy for her to be green. “I stopped buying packaged things and began bringing my own bags to fill with things at the supermarket,” she explained. “I stopped buying new clothes and shopped only second hand. I only bought things that were really necessary. I donated some used but good things, such as books and jeans. I even made my own toothpaste and laundry detergent (洗衣粉)”. Laura founded (创办) her own eco-friendly company, “The Simply Co”, to sell her homemade things.
Laura says the journey has been hard, but she is happy. While protecting the environment, she saves a lot of money. She also becomes healthier because she never buys packaged food.
54. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. What Laura’s classmate was like. B. When Laura went to college.
C. Where Laura bought packaged food. D. Why Laura decided to live a green life.

C. Laura is enjoying doing things to be green. D. Laura changed her lifestyle after graduation.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Laura成为环保人士的过程以及她为环保所做的努力。
【54题详解】
主旨大意题。根据“‘One of my classmates in the college often brought food packaged (包装) in plastic bags to class. She threw a lot of rubbish,’ Laura said. ‘I wanted to be a green girl, not the plastic girl like her! So I made the decision to get all plastic away from my life.’”可知,第二段主要讲述了Laura看到同学用塑料袋包装食物并乱扔垃圾后,决定要过绿色生活,不再像那个同学一样成为“塑料女孩”。所以第二段主要解释了Laura决定过绿色生活的原因。故选D。
【55题详解】
细节理解题。根据“‘I stopped buying packaged things and began bringing my own bags to fill with things at the supermarket,’ she explained. ‘I stopped buying new clothes and shopped only second hand. I only bought things that were really necessary. I donated some used but good things, such as books and jeans. I even made my own toothpaste and laundry detergent (洗衣粉)’”可知,Laura为了成为环保人士,采取了以下措施:①捐赠了一些用过但还好的东西;③去超市时带着自己的购物袋装东西;⑤自己制作牙膏。故选B。
【56题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Laura says the journey has been hard, but she is happy. While protecting the environment, she saves a lot of money. She also becomes healthier because she never buys packaged food.”可知,文章最后一段提到Laura说成为环保人士的旅程很艰难,但她很开心,同时她还节省了很多钱,也变得更健康了。这说明她享受做环保的事情。故选C。

A report shows that each year we produce about 150 million tons of city waste in China. Where does the waste go? People usually burn or bury (埋) it. We also receive waste from some developed countries. We get some useful materials from it. What about the useless part? Still burned or buried. But is it a proper way?
Waste pollutes the environment, harms people’s health and causes animals to die. It also gets in the way of green and sustainable development. We can’t make money at the cost of the environment. We should leave clean water and green mountains to our next generations (辈).
China is getting really serious about waste now.
We are taking less waste from developed countries. From January 2018, China started to stop 24 kinds of waste coming into our country. And more laws and rules about dealing with waste have been made. Anyone who breaks the law will be punished.
China also tries to put waste into good use. One example is the waste electricity (电) factories.They burn waste to make electricity in a green way. No harmful gases or water will get into the environment.
Meanwhile our country is encouraging people to separate waste into different groups. Cities like Shanghai, Chongqing and Beijing have their own sorting (分类) systems. More will join them soon. More and more people are forming the habit of separating their waste.

You drink water when you are thirsty. Now think about a tree. When a tree is hungry, it gets food from the soil. Trees drink water, too.
We are different in some ways, but all living things are connected. We all live on the same planet, and we depend on each other. If we pollute the rivers and oceans, fish may get sick or even die. Some birds live off fish. If the birds eat the sick or dead fish, they may die off. Nature is a balance between all the living things on the planet.

Hello, everyone. It’s nice to speak about supporting charity here.
Many people in the world are still poor. Some even can’t go to hospital because they don’t have enough money. Some children can’t afford to go to school. They need our help.
As students, we can do a lot to support charity. We can help charities raise money. Many hands make light work. We can also donate some books and clothes to them.

Laura is a green person. She has produced almost no waste in the past two years. She is trying her best to reduce waste.
There was a moment that brought Laura to do so. “One of my classmates in the college often brought food packaged (包装) in plastic bags to class. She threw a lot of rubbish,” Laura said. “I wanted to be a green girl, not the plastic girl like her! So I made the decision to get all plastic away from my life.”
It hasn’t been easy for her to be green. “I stopped buying packaged things and began bringing my own bags to fill with things at the supermarket,” she explained. “I stopped buying new clothes and shopped only second hand. I only bought things that were really necessary. I donated some used but good things, such as books and jeans. I even made my own toothpaste and laundry detergent (洗衣粉)”. Laura founded (创办) her own eco-friendly company, “The Simply Co”, to sell her homemade things.
Laura says the journey has been hard, but she is happy. While protecting the environment, she saves a lot of money. She also becomes healthier because she never buys packaged food.

A report shows that each year we produce about 150 million tons of city waste in China. Where does the waste go? People usually burn or bury (埋) it. We also receive waste from some developed countries. We get some useful materials from it. What about the useless part? Still burned or buried. But is it a proper way?
Waste pollutes the environment, harms people’s health and causes animals to die. It also gets in the way of green and sustainable development. We can’t make money at the cost of the environment. We should leave clean water and green mountains to our next generations (辈).
China is getting really serious about waste now.
We are taking less waste from developed countries. From January 2018 China started to stop 24 kinds of waste coming into our country. And more laws and rules about dealing with waste have been made. Anyone who breaks the law will be punished.
China also tries to put waste into good use. One example is the waste electricity (电) factories.They burn waste to make electricity in a green way. No harmful gases or water will get into the environment.
Meanwhile our country is encouraging people to separate waste into different groups. Cities like Shanghai, Chongqing and Beijing have their own sorting (分类) systems. More will join them soon. More and more people are forming the habit of separating their waste.
57. The writer starts the passage by ________.
A. telling stories B. showing pictures C. raising questions D. giving suggestions
58. When did China start to stop 24 kinds of waste coming into our country?
A. From January 2018. B. From July 2018. C. From January 2019. D. From February 2018.

The natural world is filled with living things. Living things start out weak and small and slowly grow strong and big. You are a living thing. Each of your classmates is a living thing. Flowers, grass and trees are living things, too. Bees, ants, doves, dogs and cats—these are all living things.
All living things need food and water to grow. Think about yourself. When you are hungry, you need to eat. You eat fruit, vegetables, meat and fish. They can help you grow big and strong. You drink water when you are thirsty. Now think about a tree. When a tree is hungry, it gets food from the soil. Trees drink water, too.
We are different in some ways, but all living things are connected. We all live on the same planet, and we depend on each other. If we pollute the rivers and oceans, fish may get sick or even die. Some birds live off fish. If the birds eat the sick or dead fish, they may die off. Nature is a balance between all the living things on the planet. If one species (物种) dies off, then another species may die off, followed by another, and another…
We should respect the earth and all the living things on it.
