White Dew (白 露) falls on about Sept. 8. It shows the beginning of the cool autumn. There are colorful leaves and cooler nights at this time of year. As the temperature falls, white dew is often seen on the grass and trees at night. For White Dew, Cinyee chose a raccoon (浣熊) a small animal with thick hair.

When it comes to reading, people have different preferences. Some people will choose paper books because they’re easy to borrow and share. Others will go for e-readers, perhaps on a phone, because they’re convenient. But which is the more environment-friendly choice?
Digital reading (数字阅读) is on the rise, now making up about 15% of the total US book market. However, traditional print publishing is still by far the most popular type—and it comes with a high carbon footprint (碳足迹). According to a 2023 report from Words Rated, print book publishing is the third biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions (排放), and 32 million trees are cut down each year in the US to make paper for books. Then there’s the problem of printing and transport, not to mention the many unsold books that are destroyed.
Digital reading seems to be better than print because it is paperless, so it saves trees and transport. Moreover, technology companies that make e-readers, such as Amazon, offer recycling programs for old devices (设备). But digital devices also come with a large carbon footprint, mainly at the production stage.
So back to the earlier question: which way of reading is more environmentally friendly? “If you buy an e-reader and you read lots of books on it, then it’s the lowest carbon thing to do. But if you buy it, read a couple of books, and find that you prefer paper books, then it’s the worst of all worlds.” said Mike Berners-Lee, a professor at Lancaster Environment Centre in the United Kingdom. Yet, Berners-Lee also said that reading is still, relatively speaking, an environment-friendly activity.
1.What can we know from the text?
A.Printed books have a poor sales record in the US.
B.Print publishing is not friendly to the environment.
C.Digital reading is more popular than paper reading.
D.Printing books costs more than producing e-readers.
2.Which aspect of digital devices has the largest impact on the environment?
A.Its transportation.
B.Its waste management.
C.Its production process.
D.Its recycling programs.
3.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.It remains unclear.
B.It needs further studies.
C.It depends on the specific situation.
D.It is a matter of personal preference
4.What is the most suitable title for the text?
A.Why Should We Choose Digital Reading?
B.How Does Print Publishing Affect the Environment?
C.Will Traditional Print Reading Disappear in the Future?
D.Which is Better for the Environment, Paper Books or E-readers?
【答案】1.B 2.C 3.C 4.D
【导语】本文主要围绕纸质书和电子阅读器展开讨论,对比了两者的碳足迹,探究哪种阅读方式更环保,并引用专家观点说明结果取决于具体情况。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段中“traditional print publishing is still by far the most popular type—and it comes with a high carbon footprint…print book publishing is the third biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions, and 32 million trees are cut down each year in the US to make paper for books”可知,纸质出版碳足迹高、排放温室气体且消耗大量树木,对环境不友好。故选B。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段中“But digital devices also come with a large carbon footprint, mainly at the production stage”可知,电子设备对环境的最大影响来自其生产过程。故选C。
3.词句猜测题。根据最后一段中迈克・伯纳斯 - 李的话“If you buy an e-reader and you read lots of books on it, then it’s the lowest carbon thing to do. But if you buy it, read a couple of books, and find that you prefer paper books, then it’s the worst of all worlds”可知,电子阅读器是否环保,取决于使用频率等具体情况,由此可判断划线句体现“这取决于具体情况”的含义。故选C。
4.最佳标题题。文章开篇以“which is the more environment-friendly choice?”引出主题,后续围绕两者的环保性展开对比分析,“Which is Better for the Environment, Paper Books or E-readers?”能准确概括文章主旨。故选D。
As we all know, the Earth is very important to us. However, people are polluting the planet. What should we do to save it?
Consume (消耗) less. Everything people do, such as eating, watering plants and driving cars, needs a lot of resources (资源). If we think about using fewer resources in our everyday life, it’ll be sure to help save the Earth.
Drive a smaller car. Of course, a bigger car usually makes you comfortable and excited. But that means more waste will make the Earth in bigger danger. So when you want a new car, think of the Earth first.
Saving the Earth doesn’t just have to do with adults. Children around the world may do many helpful things. For example, you may ask your kids to turn off lights or any other electrical facilities in the house when not in use. Instead of spending money on new toys, try letting the kids in the neighborhood exchange toys with each other or give away old toys to others. Ask children to use cloth towels (毛巾) to clean up things instead of using paper towels. This will need less paper and help to save trees. Teach children where to throw away rubbish and if possible, teach your kids to pick up other people’s rubbish and put it away.
All in all, it is everyone’s duty to protect and save the Earth.
1.What can we know from Paragraph 2 and 3?
A.People use lots of resources in their daily life.
B.A bigger car is very dangerous for people.
C.It will be easy and safe for people to drive a smaller car.
D.People don’t have enough resources to use.
2.What does the underlined word “exchange” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.To find things for others.
B.To give things to each other at the same time.
C.To bring something back to some place.
D.To throw away something.
3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.The more resources we consume, the more resources we need.
B.We can save trees by using fewer paper towels.
C.Paper towels can’t help us to clean up things.
D.To throw rubbish in a right place is a good way to help save the Earth.
4.How is the text organized? (① = Paragraph 1, ② = Paragraph 2, ...)
A. B. C. D.
【答案】1.A 2.B 3.C 4.B

Today was my first day at school in Canada, and it was so different from my school in Xiamen.

In the PE class, I played volleyball and made friends with a girl named Annie. My last class was Art. I sat next to Annie, and we did water colours in the first class. It was fun, but I wasn’t very good at it.
After school, I took the bus home. My host family took me to their neighbours’ house to have dinner. It was my first time visiting someone’s home in Canada, and I felt a bit nervous. The two neighbours were very friendly, and they made a delicious pie. I’ll never forget this day!

The Chinese calendar (日历) is divided into 24 solar terms. The last one in spring is called Guyu, or Grain Rain. It usually starts on 19 April and ends on 4 May.
In tea-growing regions (地区) in southern China, Grain Rain is an important time. People drink the tea picked before Grain Rain — these leaves are said to be the best. Tea trees grow well in this season, and the spring rain helps give the tea its fresh taste. In southern China, some people believe that you can drive away bad luck if you drink tea on the day of Grain Rain.
There are special Grain Rain traditions in northern China too. At the start of Grain Rain, people eat a local green vegetable, Chinese toon (香椿).
In some coastal (沿海的) villages in northern China, there are even big Grain Rain celebrations. People wish for a good harvest and safe travels on the sea. According to an old tradition, this day is the start of the fishing season, and fishermen go out to sea for the first time in the year.

Cinyee Chiu, an artist from Taiwan, is always happy to try something new. Her amazing works won lots of prizes. Among them, “24 Solar Terms” is the most popular.
Ancient Chinese divided a year into 24 parts according to the changes of the weather. It’s the 24 solar terms. But not everyone knows them well, Cinyee Chiu put the 24 solar terms in pictures to help people understand them better.
Cinyee turned each solar term into an animal. But these animals are not just animals. Because you can also find seasonal fruits, vegetables or beautiful flowers on them.
When spring comes, water gets warm and fish start to swim around. So Cinyee chose fish as a symbol of Start of Spring. Also, she drew spring vegetables, Chinese chives (韭菜) on the back of the fish.
White Dew (白 露) falls on about Sept. 8. It shows the beginning of the cool autumn. There are colorful leaves and cooler nights at this time of year. As the temperature falls, white dew is often seen on the grass and trees at night. For White Dew, Cinyee chose a raccoon (浣熊) a small animal with thick hair. She drew white spots (小圆点) on the raccoon to show dew. And she used the dragon fruit to show the rich colors in autumn.
The young artist really gave the ancient Chinese culture a new look.

When it comes to reading, people have different preferences. Some people will choose paper books because they’re easy to borrow and share. Others will go for e-readers, perhaps on a phone, because they’re convenient. But which is the more environment-friendly choice?
Digital reading (数字阅读) is on the rise, now making up about 15% of the total US book market. However, traditional print publishing is still by far the most popular type—and it comes with a high carbon footprint (碳足迹). According to a 2023 report from Words Rated, print book publishing is the third biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions (排放), and 32 million trees are cut down each year in the US to make paper for books. Then there’s the problem of printing and transport, not to mention the many unsold books that are destroyed.
Digital reading seems to be better than print because it is paperless, so it saves trees and transport. Moreover, technology companies that make e-readers, such as Amazon, offer recycling programs for old devices (设备). But digital devices also come with a large carbon footprint, mainly at the production stage.
So back to the earlier question: which way of reading is more environmentally friendly? “If you buy an e-reader and you read lots of books on it, then it’s the lowest carbon thing to do. But if you buy it, read a couple of books, and find that you prefer paper books, then it’s the worst of all worlds.” said Mike Berners-Lee, a professor at Lancaster Environment Centre in the United Kingdom. Yet, Berners-Lee also said that reading is still, relatively speaking, an environment-friendly activity.
1.What can we know from the text?
A.Printed books have a poor sales record in the US.
B.Print publishing is not friendly to the environment.
C.Digital reading is more popular than paper reading.
D.Printing books costs more than producing e-readers.
2.Which aspect of digital devices has the largest impact on the environment?
A.Its transportation.
B.Its waste management.
C.Its production process.
D.Its recycling programs.
3.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.It remains unclear.
B.It needs further studies.
C.It depends on the specific situation.
D.It is a matter of personal preference
4.What is the most suitable title for the text?
A.Why Should We Choose Digital Reading?
B.How Does Print Publishing Affect the Environment?
C.Will Traditional Print Reading Disappear in the Future?
D.Which is Better for the Environment, Paper Books or E-readers?
As we all know, the Earth is very important to us. However, people are polluting the planet. What should we do to save it?
Consume (消耗) less. Everything people do, such as eating, watering plants and driving cars, needs a lot of resources (资源). If we think about using fewer resources in our everyday life, it’ll be sure to help save the Earth.
Drive a smaller car. Of course, a bigger car usually makes you comfortable and excited. But that means more waste will make the Earth in bigger danger. So when you want a new car, think of the Earth first.
Saving the Earth doesn’t just have to do with adults. Children around the world may do many helpful things. For example, you may ask your kids to turn off lights or any other electrical facilities in the house when not in use. Instead of spending money on new toys, try letting the kids in the neighborhood exchange toys with each other or give away old toys to others. Ask children to use cloth towels (毛巾) to clean up things instead of using paper towels. This will need less paper and help to save trees. Teach children where to throw away rubbish and if possible, teach your kids to pick up other people’s rubbish and put it away.
All in all, it is everyone’s duty to protect and save the Earth.
1.What can we know from Paragraph 2 and 3?
A.People use lots of resources in their daily life.
B.A bigger car is very dangerous for people.
C.It will be easy and safe for people to drive a smaller car.
D.People don’t have enough resources to use.
2.What does the underlined word “exchange” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.To find things for others.
B.To give things to each other at the same time.
C.To bring something back to some place.
D.To throw away something.
3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.The more resources we consume, the more resources we need.
B.We can save trees by using fewer paper towels.
C.Paper towels can’t help us to clean up things.
D.To throw rubbish in a right place is a good way to help save the Earth.
4.How is the text organized? (① = Paragraph 1, ② = Paragraph 2, ...)
A. B. C. D.
