课文解析
塞罕坝:把沙漠变成森林
塞罕坝是河北省北部的一个森林公园。它距离北京大约400公里。几百年间,皇帝们都曾去那里打猎。但在19世纪,情况开始发生变化。该地发生了森林火灾和战争,人们砍伐了许多树木。塞罕坝慢慢变成了沙漠。
当森林消失时,北京地区发生了可怕的沙尘暴。20世纪60年代初,一队科学家前往塞罕坝寻找解决方案。他们在沙漠中间发现了一棵古树。他们想,“也许我们仍然可以在这里植树。”1962年,第一批植树者抵达塞罕坝。寒冷干燥的天气使他们的工作非常困难,强风吹走了许多树苗。在冬天,气温低至零下 40℃
三代森林工人继续着艰苦的工作。多亏了他们,塞罕坝又恢复了绿色。它是当今世界上最大的人造森林。现在那里有数亿棵树。这片森林为首都提供了干净的水,现在北京地区的沙尘暴也更少了。

B
April 22nd is World Earth Day—a day to remind people to protect the earth. So on that day, our family held an activity “bottle of trash challenge”. That means the trash needs to be put in a 600ml bottle. We decided to challenge ourselves and produce as little trash as possible.
My father worked online all day, so he didn't produce any paper waste except paper napkins. He made the least trash in our family.
My mother cooked and produced plenty of kitchen waste, such as vegetable leaves, eggshells and food bags. What's worse, we couldn't eat up all the food of the dinner that day. So leftovers couldn't be avoided. It was not easy for Mom to deal with all the trash, but she found a way to put it all into the bottle. How amazing!
My sister, a 16⁃year⁃old student, was busy preparing for her exams. She had to use paper to work out math or physics problems. She used only one side of the paper in the past. But that day, she tried to use both sides of the paper because she realized we were challenging ourselves. She did a good job!
I was different from my sister. I love snacks and drinks. So my trash was almost from them. I was highly alert (警觉的) that I must produce less waste. I hardly ever had snacks or drinks. It was too difficult, but I did it!
I've learnt a lot from this activity. I realize that everyone can produce less trash. We should start with small actions to protect the earth!

2.Who made the least trash in the family?

4.What was the writer's sister busy doing?

C.Preparing for her exams. D.Playing the piano.
5.Why does the writer write the passage?
A.Because he hopes that we can have fewer snacks and drinks.

Let's protect the Earth
The Earth is a beautiful planet. There are many blue seas and high mountains and beautiful clouds flowing in the sky.
The Earth is home to all humans, animals and plants. How-ever, the Earth is facing a lot of problems. People are harming the Earth in many ways. For example, people put rubbish into rivers and seas. The sea is becoming dirtier and dirtier. Some people are cutting down trees. There are fewer and fewer trees in the world.
We only have one Earth,so we have to protect it. Let's take action. First,we shouldn't throw rubbish in the sea. We should put it into the dustbin. Second,we must plant more trees. Trees can make the air clean and the world beautiful. Third,we should walk, take the bus or underground more to go to school or go to work.
All in all, if we don't want anything bad to happen to our only home, it's important for us to protect the Earth.

Let’s take action to protect the environment and I believe we can make our world a better place to live.

课文解析
塞罕坝:把沙漠变成森林
塞罕坝是河北省北部的一个森林公园。它距离北京大约400公里。几百年间,皇帝们都曾去那里打猎。但在19世纪,情况开始发生变化。该地发生了森林火灾和战争,人们砍伐了许多树木。塞罕坝慢慢变成了沙漠。
当森林消失时,北京地区发生了可怕的沙尘暴。20世纪60年代初,一队科学家前往塞罕坝寻找解决方案。他们在沙漠中间发现了一棵古树。他们想,“也许我们仍然可以在这里植树。”1962年,第一批植树者抵达塞罕坝。寒冷干燥的天气使他们的工作非常困难,强风吹走了许多树苗。在冬天,气温低至零下 40℃
三代森林工人继续着艰苦的工作。多亏了他们,塞罕坝又恢复了绿色。它是当今世界上最大的人造森林。现在那里有数亿棵树。这片森林为首都提供了干净的水,现在北京地区的沙尘暴也更少了。

People can change (改变) the earth. But some changes can harm the planet. When bad things are put into the land, air or water, the earth is polluted. Pollution is dangerous for plants, animals and people.
People can help make less pollution. Rubbish is a big part of pollution. When people pick up the rubbish, they are helping to stop pollution.
It is hard to get rid of all the rubbish we make. Making less rubbish is the first step. Less rubbish means less pollution.
Another way to help make less pollution is to reuse things many times. Instead of using a new lunch bag every day, we could use the same lunch box many times. This makes less rubbish.
To recycle (循环利用) means to change something so it can be used again. We make less rubbish when we recycle. Lots of things can be recycled. Can you think of things to recycle?
1.When people put ________ onto the earth, it is polluted.
A.fresh water B.bad things C.a lot of fish D.cool air

April 22nd is World Earth Day—a day to remind people to protect the earth. So on that day, our family held an activity “bottle of trash challenge”. That means the trash needs to be put in a 600ml bottle. We decided to challenge ourselves and produce as little trash as possible.
My father worked online all day, so he didn't produce any paper waste except paper napkins. He made the least trash in our family.
My mother cooked and produced plenty of kitchen waste, such as vegetable leaves, eggshells and food bags. What's worse, we couldn't eat up all the food of the dinner that day. So leftovers couldn't be avoided. It was not easy for Mom to deal with all the trash, but she found a way to put it all into the bottle. How amazing!
My sister, a 16⁃year⁃old student, was busy preparing for her exams. She had to use paper to work out math or physics problems. She used only one side of the paper in the past. But that day, she tried to use both sides of the paper because she realized we were challenging ourselves. She did a good job!
I was different from my sister. I love snacks and drinks. So my trash was almost from them. I was highly alert (警觉的) that I must produce less waste. I hardly ever had snacks or drinks. It was too difficult, but I did it!
I've learnt a lot from this activity. I realize that everyone can produce less trash. We should start with small actions to protect the earth!

[语篇解读] 本文主要介绍了五条保护环境的建议。
1.to 由too busy or too lazy及make big changes可判断,这里是“too…to…”结构,意为“太……而不能……”。
2.protecting 介词for后接动词⁃ing形式。
3.longer 此处much修饰形容词或副词的比较级,故填longer。
4.reduced 句子主语your electricity bill与reduce为被动关系,应用被动语态,空前有be,故填reduced。
5.needs 从句主语who指代不定代词someone,又是一般现在时,从句谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。
6.in in need意为“处于困境中”。
7.an 此处泛指一个简单的习惯,应用不定冠词修饰,easy以元音音素开头,故用不定冠词an。
8.causes “one of+the+形容词最高级+可数名词复数”表示“最……的……之一”。
9.yourself 主句省略了主语you,故设空处应用反身代词;由下文的Do I可知,此处单数,故填yourself。
10.useful 设空处作is的表语,应用形容词;副词very修饰形容词原级,故填useful。
