Best, Natalie D.Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题)：(7分) Turning rubbish into new earth My father is a quiet man.He has his thoughts,but he usually keeps them to himself.There is one thing that really gets him excited.Just say the word "rubbish" to him!Or I should say,he is keen on solving the rubbish problem! “We have become a‘throw-away'society,”he says.“We buy and buy,.and then we throw it away.We.can't keep doing this.Rubbish is everybody's problem." My father doesn't just talk about it though.When he sees a problem,he tries to find a solution. Last year,my father decided to do something about all the wasted food we were throwing away.One family makes nearly 500 pounds of food waste each year.We throw away the potato skins and the apple cores (when we finish with them. Imagine how they collect in the large area! However,there is something that we can do to reuse rubbish.For example,if we carefully deal with food waste,it can be changed from rubbish to a rich,dark earth known as compost )This compost can be added to vegetable gardens to make the plants grow really well. "I bought a compost bin today."Dad said at dinner one night."From now on, instead of throwing away all our food waste,we will put it in the compost bin.Mother Nature will slowly tumn it from rubbish into earth." It took a while to get used to it,but soon,we were taking our food waste to the compost bin.In three months.we found it full of rich compost material! 77.What is the writer's father really interested in? 78.The writer's father takes action to solve problems,doesn't he? 79.How much food waste does one family make yearly? 80.What is the solution suggested by the writer's father to reuse food waste? 81.According to the passage,what is the result of father's solution? 82.In your daily life,what can your family do to reduce food waste? 2024学年度第二学期八年级英语期中考试 第7页共8页 VI.Writing(作文)：（共7分） 83.Write at least60 words on the topic“Earth Day Action Plan”(以“地球日行 动计划”为题，写一篇不少于60词的短文，标点符号不占格) April 22nd is Barth Day.To protect our planet,what practical action can you take in your daily life?Choose one specific activity (e.g.,reducing plastic use,planting trees,saving energy)and write an essay explaining: 4月22日是地球日。为了保护我们的星球，你在日常生活中可以采取哪些实 际行动？选择一项具体活动（例如：减少塑料使用、植树、节约能源），并撰写 一篇文章说明： 1.Why is this action important for the environment? 这一行动对环境的重要性是什么？ 2.How can you carry it out effectively?(Give clear steps.) 你如何有效执行这一行动？（给出明确步骤。） 3.What challenges might you face,and how will you overcome them? 可能会遇到哪些挑战？你将如何克服它们？ (体注意：照抄阅读语篇不得分) 2024学年度第二学期八年级英语期中考试 第8页共8页
