As we started, I noticed an old man sitting on a bench, watching us quietly. He seemed 3 at first, but after a while, he slowly walked towards us and asked if he could 4 . We gladly agreed. He introduced himself as Mr. Chen, a retired (退休的) teacher who had 5 in this neighborhood for over thirty years. While picking up plastic bottles and paper, Mr. Chen shared stories about how the park used to be a place of natural 6 . Children came to fly kites and 7 the fresh air. But now, pollution had made it less enjoyable. He said, “In the past, children loved playing here, but now they 8 come because of the trash (垃圾).” His words made us realize the importance of our work. We worked for hours, and 9 , the park became cleaner. Mr. Chen’s smile grew brighter as he saw the changes. He even started to water some young trees we brought to plant. “These will provide shade (阴凉) in the future,” he said happily. By the afternoon, we had 10 over ten bags of trash. Mr. Chen thanked us and said, “Your kindness 11 me that there is still hope for our community.” We felt proud and promised to 12 this activity every month.

In this article, you’ll learn how acid rain is formed, and how it affects us, and more importantly, what we all can do to prevent it. How is acid rain created? When people use fuels (燃料), such as coal and gasoline, harmful gases are given off. When these gases mix with rain, acid rain forms. Many power stations burn fuels in order to produce the electricity that we use in our homes and offices every day. Cars and trucks also send these gases into the air when they burn gasoline. When rain mixes with these gases, harmful things called acids are created. How does acid rain affect us? Acid rain destroys everything that it touches. It pollutes our rivers, ponds, lakes and oceans along with all the life in them. It pollutes our soil and crops, harms trees, and can even kill fish and plants. Acid rain also eats away at buildings. How can we prevent acid rain? We need to cut down on the gas that gets into our air. The factories should clean the waste gas before letting it out. Walk or take a bike whenever possible. If you are travelling a long distance, take a bus or train to save fuel. As the research shows, acid rain harms our environment. But people everywhere can take small steps now to stop it and help protect our environment for the future. 16．According to the passage, the purpose of burning fuel is to ________. A．form acid rain B．produce electricity C．avoid air pollution D．produce gasoline 17．Acid rain forms when rain ________. A．gets heavier B．meets coal and gasoline C．mixes with harmful gases D．touches the polluted rivers 18．According to the article, acid rain affects us ________. A．seriously B．suddenly C．rapidly D．sadly 19．What advice on preventing acid rain does the article give us? A．Take a bus for a long journey. B．Travel by plane to prevent acid rain. C．Turn off the television on rainy days. D．Go to bed earlier in order to use less electricity. 20．Which may be the best title for the article? A．Preventing Acid Rain B．Forming of Acid Rain C．Acid Rain Heavy Rain D．Acid Rain, Killer Rain Passage 3 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 told myself 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! 21．What activity did the writer’s family hold on April 22nd? A．A challenge. B．A trip. C．A picnic. D．A party. 22．Who made the least trash in the family? A．The writer. B．The writer’s father. C．The writer’s mother. D．The writer’s sister. 23．The underlined word “leftovers” in the third paragraph means ________. A．Food bags that are used to put the vegetable leaves B．Food that hasn’t been eaten up at the end of a meal C．Waste that is produced in the kitchen D．Dishes that are cooked by mother 24．What was the writer’s sister busy doing? A．Watching TV. B．Playing computer games. C．Preparing for her exams. D．Playing the piano. 25．The writer wrote the passage in order to encourage us ________. A．to have less snacks and drinks B．to use both sides of the paper C．to eat up all the food of the dinner D．to protect the earth by starting with small actions Passage 4 Nature is like a kind mother to us. It gives us everything we need, like clean air, fresh water, and delicious food. 26 We cut down too many trees to build houses and make paper. As a result, many animals lose their homes. 27 The water becomes so polluted that fish can’t live in it. And cars and factories send out harmful gases, making the air dirty. We are making nature sick. These problems are bad for both nature and us. 28 Clean air and water are necessary for our health. If we keep polluting the environment, we will get sick easily. Besides, beautiful natural places, like mountains and forests make our lives more interesting. They are great places for us to relax and have fun. So we must take action to protect nature. 29 First, we should save water. Turn off the tap when we brush our teeth. Second, plant more trees. They can make the air clean. Finally, use less plastic. 30 We can also use a cup instead of a plastic bottle. If we all do these things, we can live in harmony with nature and make the world a better place. A．It’s very important to live in harmony (和谐) with nature. B．We can take our own bags when shopping. C．Also, factories pour dirty water into rivers and lakes. D．We should also save electricity at home. E．However, these years, we haven’t treated nature very well. F．To make things better, we can do many small but useful things. Passage 5 阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的词数要求）。 In recent years, plastic pollution has become one of the most serious problems around the world. Many countries have been looking for ways for a better future. On November 7, 2022, China started a “bamboo instead of plastic” activity with the International Network for Bamboo and Rattan (INBAR国际竹藤组织). This will hopefully increase the use of green bamboo products and reduce (减少) plastic pollution. Bamboo is a renewable natural resource (资源) of great value. And it can be harvested (收割) in 3 to 5 years. Normally, bamboo can be cut every year and doesn’t have to be replanted. Bamboo can be used to make different kinds of products. These products can take the place of plastic products in many fields. Even a new bamboo washing machine has been invented in some poor areas. People living there don’t have electricity or money to buy traditional washing machines. It uses the natural flow of the water as power to run the machine. It’s believed that bamboo is a harmless material. It doesn’t cause any pollution when it has to be thrown away. China is one of the countries with the richest bamboo resources in the world. The Chinese are a pioneer (先锋) in the use of bamboo. Provinces Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan and Guizhou have set up companies to produce and develop bamboo products. What’s more, China is also sharing its technologies and experience to help other countries with rich bamboo resources. It is hoped that countries will work together for green development around the world. 31．When did China start the “bamboo instead of plastic” activity? (No more than 4 words.) 32．Why did China start the “bamboo instead of plastic” activity? (No more than 16 words.) 33．Is bamboo a harmful material? (No more than 4 words.) 34．What is China sharing to help other countries with rich bamboo resources? (No more than 8 words.) 35．What’s your opinion about using bamboo products? Why? Passage 6 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入恰当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式 (每空一词)。 Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the 36 (leaf) on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants, but “green” is more than just a color. It also means people should take some steps to protect our environment and make the Earth 37 (good). There are several simple things in your everyday life which will make 38 difference. There is nothing new but if you follow at least some of these tips, you can be proud of 39 (you) in the protection of the environment. Charity (慈善): You have tons of clothes or things you want to throw away. 40 they are still usable, give them to someone who needs them. Avoid 41 (waste) electricity: Turn 42 the light when you leave a room. When you do not use your computer, shut it down. It’s an easy habit to take up that will help you save a lot of money. Walk or cycle: Driving is one of the biggest causes of 43 (pollute). When you want to use a car, ask the following question: Do I 44 (real) need my car? Walk or use your bike when the journey is a short one. Rainwater: Think of recycling rainwater. This water can be 45 (use) for different purposes. This list is far from being perfect but it can help you save money and protect our environment. $ 热点话题09 环境保护 话题阅读精练 语篇 题型 体裁 词数 内容简介 Passage1 完形填空 记叙文 358 讲述一家人清理社区公园的故事，通过行动带动社区居民参与环保，传递了“小行动带来大改变”的理念。 Passage2 阅读理解 应用文 259 介绍酸雨的形成、影响以及我们如何预防酸雨，旨在提高人们对环境保护的意识。 Passage3 阅读理解 说明文 264 介绍作者家人在世界地球日这天挑战自己，尽可能产生更少的垃圾。 Passage4 阅读还原 记叙文 195 讲述人与自然的关系以及环境保护的重要性。 Passage5 任务型阅读 记叙文 271 讲述了中国与国际竹藤组织共同发起“以竹代塑”倡议，在全球深化“以竹代塑”合作，增加绿色竹产品的使用比例，更好发挥竹子在代替塑料产品方面的突出优势和作用。 Passage6 语法填空 说明文 238 以“绿色” 为切入点，提出了日常生活中可践行的环保小贴士。 主题简析素材积累 初中环保写作可围绕身边现象展开，从个人视角切入，体现认知与行动。可写校园垃圾分类、节约用水用电、减少使用一次性用品、参与植树活动等。通过具体事例表达对环境污染危害的认识，强调保护环境的重要性，呼吁大家从自身做起，从小事做起，共同守护绿色家园。文章要观点明确，条理清晰，语言朴实，有真情实感。 句子积累 1. There will be more pollution. （将会有更多污染。） 2. Cities will be more crowded and polluted.

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 told myself 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! 21．What activity did the writer’s family hold on April 22nd? A．A challenge. B．A trip.

Many countries have been looking for ways for a better future. On November 7, 2022, China started a “bamboo instead of plastic” activity with the International Network for Bamboo and Rattan (INBAR国际竹藤组织). This will hopefully increase the use of green bamboo products and reduce (减少) plastic pollution. Bamboo is a renewable natural resource (资源) of great value. And it can be harvested (收割) in 3 to 5 years. Normally, bamboo can be cut every year and doesn’t have to be replanted. Bamboo can be used to make different kinds of products. These products can take the place of plastic products in many fields. Even a new bamboo washing machine has been invented in some poor areas. People living there don’t have electricity or money to buy traditional washing machines. It uses the natural flow of the water as power to run the machine. It’s believed that bamboo is a harmless material. It doesn’t cause any pollution when it has to be thrown away. China is one of the countries with the richest bamboo resources in the world. The Chinese are a pioneer (先锋) in the use of bamboo. Provinces Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan and Guizhou have set up companies to produce and develop bamboo products. What’s more, China is also sharing its technologies and experience to help other countries with rich bamboo resources. It is hoped that countries will work together for green development around the world. 31．When did China start the “bamboo instead of plastic” activity?
