The best way to do this is buying green products. But how do we know if a product is really green? We need to think about everything of the product. First, we should look at the materials of the products. Green products are made of natural materials. This is good for our health. Second, where a product is made and where we buy it are also important. We should try to buy local products, especially food. We can order directly from local farmers. Buying from shops near our homes is also a good idea, because we can go there without driving a car. Packaging (包装) is another thing we should think about. We should choose products that have glass, paper or other packaging that can be reused or recycled. We should also try to buy products that have less packaging or no packaging at all. The greenest thing we can do is not to buy unnecessary products. We should only buy things we really need, like food and clothes. If we don’t need something, we should leave it in the shop. This saves money, reduces waste, and helps keep the planet healthy. In a word, by buying green products, we can help make our planet a better place to live on. 1．According to Paragraph 1, what is the best way to be green? A．To produce useful products. B．To know how to be green. C．To recycle used products. D．To shop for green products. 2．Why does the writer suggest buying food near our homes? A．Because it saves energy. B．Because it takes shorter time. C．Because the food is fresher. D．Because the food costs less. 3．What does the underlined word “This” refers to? A．Buying only food and clothes. B．Not shopping for anything. C．Buying only necessary products. D．Shopping for important products. 4．Which is the correct structure (结构) of the passage? A． B． C． D． 5．Which can be the best title for the passage? A．Keeping Healthy B．Buying Green Products C．Recycling Waste D．Reducing Energy Use 译文 环保意味着在日常生活中保护环境，而购买绿色产品是实现这一目标的最佳方式。但如何判断产品是否真正环保呢？我们需要全面考察产品的方方面面。 ‌首先，关注产品材质‌。绿色产品应采用天然材料制成，这对人体健康有益。 ‌其次，考虑生产地与购买渠道‌。优先选择本地产品，尤其是食品，可直接向农户订购。购买家附近商店的商品也是好选择，因为步行即可到达，无需驾车。 ‌包装同样关键‌。应选择玻璃、纸张等可重复使用或回收的包装，尽量选购少包装或无包装产品。 ‌最环保的做法是拒绝非必要消费‌。只购买真正需要的物品（如食物和衣物），若不需要某件商品，就让它留在货架上。这样既能省钱、减少浪费，又能守护地球健康。 总之，通过选择绿色产品，我们能为创造更美好的居住环境贡献力量。 Passage B（对大家保护环境的呼吁） “Hello, guys! I’m Du Rui from a group called ‘Youth’ in Dalian. I’ve opened short videos in Shanghai and Tianjin, and now I’m in Hangzhou.” “As we all know, Earth provides us with food and a place to live.

It’s a great time for us to thank the planet and take duty to make our home a better place.” “However, protecting Earth should not be something we do for just one day. We should help by taking action every day. For example, I always turn off water taps (水龙头) and lights when I don’t need them. Although it takes me 20 minutes to walk to my workplace, I still do it. When I go to the supermarket, I always take my own shopping bags. I also plant trees with my group mates.” “Although our voices are low and our power is limited (有限的), there is still plenty that we can do to protect our home. I believe that the more efforts we take, the better home we will make!” “Please give me a thumb-up, a flower or follow my WeChat if you agree on it.

Passage 2 （2025·江苏无锡·中考真题）Brazilian artist Vik Muniz uses everyday objects in unusual ways. Through his art, Muniz makes people think differently about their everyday lives-even their own rubbish. In 2007, Muniz worked on a two-year project at one of the world’s largest landfills. Until its closure in 2012, Jardim Gramacho received about 70 percent of the rubbish from Rio de Janeiro. About 3,000 rubbish pickers, known as catadores, worked there. Their job was to hunt through the rubbish for recyclable cans, bottles, and other materials. They then made money by selling the objects to recycling companies. The catadores’ work was dirty and dangerous, and most of them only received between $20 and $25 a day. Despite the hard conditions, many catadores were proud of their work. Valter Dos Santos, a worker at Jardim Gramacho for more than 25 years, told Muniz, “I am proud to be a picker. I try to explain to people that recycling prevents great harm to nature and the environment. People sometimes say, ‘But one single soda can?’ One single can is of great importance! That single can will make the difference.” Muniz became friends with Dos Santos and other catadores. They allowed him to take their photographs at the landfill, where they posed for artistic portraits. For example, Muniz photographed a landfill worker in the style of a famous French painting. The workers then helped Muniz create huge images of these photos on the floor of his workshop. They used materials from the landfill to add color and depth to the images. ________ Muniz says he wanted to “change the lives of people with the same materials they deal with every day.” A photograph of his recreation of the French painting sold for £28,000 ($50,000) at a London art auction. Muniz gave the money to the catadores workers’ organization. In 2010, a movie called Waste Land was made about Muniz’s project. The film received many awards and helped make people aware of the rubbish collectors’ lives. The catadores also began to see themselves differently. “Sometimes we see ourselves as so small,” says Irma, a cook at Gramacho, “but people out there see us as so big, so beautiful.” 1．Why did the writer mention Valter Dos Santos? A．To tell the story of a catador’s life. B．To describe the catadores’ hard conditions. C．To show the value of a catador’s work. D．To give an example of successful catadores. 2．What can we learn about Muniz’s photographs? A．They were all taken at the landfill. B．He spent a long time on each of them. C．They were only part of his unusual creation. D．He took them in the style of famous paintings. 3．Which of the following is the most suitable for ________? A．Why take such photos of these catadores? B．Why create such huge images using rubbish? C．How to help these people in a creative way? D．How to turn everyday objects into art pieces? 4．Which of the following shows the right order of the things that happened? a. A movie was made about Muniz’s project. b. Gramacho stopped receiving rubbish. c. Dos Santos started working at Gramacho. d. Muniz made friends with some catadores. A．d-c-b-a. B．c-d-b-a. C．d-c-a-b. D．c-d-a-b. 模拟演练 Passage 1 In a small city, there is a little girl named Lily. She loves exploring (探索) the world around her.

Can we see them in our daily life? Are they good or bad for human beings? Microplastics are very small. According to National Geographic, microplastics are usually less than five millimeters (毫米) in size. But they bring big problems. This small size lets them go everywhere, even in water and air. They don’t break down easily and can stay in the environment for hundreds of years. A new study said that by 2040, microplastic pollution could be twice as bad as it is now. Microplastics are very small pieces of plastic. They come from many places. For example, about 60 percent of material made into clothes is plastic. Every time the clothes are washed, they produce microplastics. When water bottles and other big plastic products are left outside, they break down slowly into microplastics. These microplastics can be bad for our health and even cause cancer. In August, The Conversation reported that scientists found microplastics in people’s brains for the first time. They may hurt brain cells (细胞) and change how the brain works. Wild animals are also at risk from microplastic pollution. Each year, up to three million tons of plastics end up in the ocean. As they break down day by day, they become virtually invisible gradually (逐渐地). Fish may eat them by mistake (无意地) and become very sick. To deal with the problem, scientists think the best way right now is to make and use less plastic. As students, we can reduce plastic things in our daily life, such as using glass or metal cups instead of plastic bottles and cups. 1．The writer starts the text by ________. A．telling stories B．asking questions C．listing numbers D．giving examples 2．What can we know about microplastics from the passage? A．Microplastics are often over five millimeters. B．It’s hard for microplastics to break down. C．Microplastics can help people’s brain work better. D．Microplastics do little harm to animals. 3．What does the underlined phrase “virtually invisible” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．especially small and hard to see B．completely harmless to animals C．easily found in the water D．brightly colored and attractive 4．What would be the best title for the text? A．Solutions to Microplastic Pollution B．Tiny Pieces of Plastic causing big Problems C．Future of Ocean Pollution from Microplastics D．First Finding of Microplastics in Human Brains Passage 3 Rainforests (热带雨林) are very important for the Earth (地球). They cover (覆盖) about 6% of the Earth’s land. First, rainforests have many trees. 1 Because of rainforests, we have enough clean air. 2 Some animals and plants are so special, and we can’t find them in other places. There are still many surprises waiting for us there. Rainforests also do another important job. 3 They are like big green umbrellas. Because of them, the Earth doesn’t get too hot. But, rainforests are in danger now. People are cutting down trees to make space for (腾空间) farms, factories and other things. 4 It also makes the Earth warmer and warmer. 5 We can learn more about them and tell others how amazing they are. We can also help the people who live in rainforests take good care of them. If everyone helps, we can keep the rainforests beautiful and healthy for a long time. Let’s all work together to help! A．They help keep our Earth cool. B．These trees make clean air for us. C．So, we need to help save rainforests! D．It makes animals and plants lose their homes. E．We should share rainforests with all the animals. F．Next, rainforests are home to many animals and plants. Passage 4 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个恰当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Our planet is facing serious environmental problems, and everyone 1 (need) to play a part in protecting it. One of the major 2 (problem) is plastic (塑料) pollution. Every year, millions of plastic bags and bottles are thrown into the oceans. This harms human health. Today, there are many ways to help reduce this problem. First, we should carry reusable bags when shopping instead of using single-use plastic items. Second, by 3 (save) materials 4 paper, glass, and plastic, there will be less waste. Moreover, governments around the world are thinking about how to limit (限制) plastic production. For example, in 2019, some countries in Europe 5 (make) laws to ban plastic straws (吸管) and utensils (餐具). These steps are important, 6 they encourage businesses and people to be more 7 (friend) to the environment. In conclusion, protecting the environment requires effort from all of us. Small actions 8 (probable) can make 9 big difference. Let’s work hard 10 (keep) our planet clean and safe for future generations. 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 1 / 16 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 8 We‘re trying to save the earth.环境保护 话题阅读精练 版块 语篇 题型 体裁 词数 内容简介 时文阅读 Passage A 阅读还原 说明文 205 呼吁通过购买绿色产品让地球更美好 Passage B 阅读理解 说明文 254 大家保护环境的呼吁 真题示例 Passage1 阅读理解 记叙文 282 目睹家乡因铜冶炼厂污染沦为荒地，立誓要让土地重披绿装。 Passage2 阅读理解 说明文 360 通过使用垃圾填埋场的日常物品创作艺术 模拟演练 Passage1 完形填空 记叙文 209 学习如何保护地球 Passage2 阅读理解 记叙文 288 介绍微塑料的来源、危害，以及应对微塑料污染问题的建议。 Passage3 阅读还原 说明文 168 热带雨林对地球的重要性、面临的危险以及我们应如何保护它们。 Passage4 语法填空 记叙文 180 热带雨林对地球的重要性、面临的危险以及我们应如何保护它们。 时文阅读 话题谚语小知识 1. One more green, one more healthy.多一份绿色，多一份健康。 2. Protecting the environment is good for health.保护环境，有益健康。 3. Save our environment for the life of the earth.为了地球的生命，拯救我们的环境。 4. Without trees, the world would be bleak.如果没有树木，世界将会暗淡无光。 5. Please walk around your feet and grass will smile at you.请您足下绕一绕，草儿向您笑一笑。 6. Treasure water, protect water, let water benefit mankind.珍惜水，保护水，让水造福人类。 7. Where there is green, there is life.那里有绿色，哪里就有生命。 8. Less footprints, more green.少一串脚印，多一份绿意。 9. To love our living environment is to love ourselves.爱护我们的生活环境，就等于爱护我们自己。 10. It's everyone's duty to show mercy, stay green and care for the environment.手下留情，足下留青，爱护环境，人人有责。 时文阅读 Passage A（呼吁通过购买绿色产品让地球更美好） Being green means protecting the environment in our daily life.

A beautiful forest nearby was made into a wasteland. He vowed (发誓) that someday he would make the land green again. While at college, he chose botany (植物学). He met a professor who was an expert in ecology (生态学). He told Paul it would take about twenty thousand years to make that wasteland green again. Then Paul got married and had some kids. But his dream would not die. He kept thinking about it. One night he took some action. He sneaked out into the wasteland with a backpack full of seedlings and started planting. For seven hours, he planted the seedlings. Every week, he made his secret journey and did the same job, but most of them died. For fifteen years he did this. Once, when all his young trees burned to the ground because of a careless sheepherder, Paul broke down and cried. Then he got up and kept planting. Freezing winds and terrible heat, landslides and floods and fires destroyed (毁坏) his work time and time again. However, he kept planting. Very slowly, amazing things began to take place. Now the place is fourteen thousand acres of trees, grass and bushes. Many kinds of wildlife live here. Paul received many environmental awards. His hair turned white, but he managed to keep that impossible vow he made to himself as a child. Just keep working, no matter who criticizes you, no matter how long it takes, no matter how many times you fall. 1．What did Paul Jackson vow when he was a boy? A．To work at the copper smelter.

Through his art, Muniz makes people think differently about their everyday lives-even their own rubbish. In 2007, Muniz worked on a two-year project at one of the world’s largest landfills. Until its closure in 2012, Jardim Gramacho received about 70 percent of the rubbish from Rio de Janeiro. About 3,000 rubbish pickers, known as catadores, worked there. Their job was to hunt through the rubbish for recyclable cans, bottles, and other materials. They then made money by selling the objects to recycling companies. The catadores’ work was dirty and dangerous, and most of them only received between $20 and $25 a day. Despite the hard conditions, many catadores were proud of their work. Valter Dos Santos, a worker at Jardim Gramacho for more than 25 years, told Muniz, “I am proud to be a picker. I try to explain to people that recycling prevents great harm to nature and the environment. People sometimes say, ‘But one single soda can?’ One single can is of great importance! That single can will make the difference.” Muniz became friends with Dos Santos and other catadores. They allowed him to take their photographs at the landfill, where they posed for artistic portraits. For example, Muniz photographed a landfill worker in the style of a famous French painting. The workers then helped Muniz create huge images of these photos on the floor of his workshop. They used materials from the landfill to add color and depth to the images. ________ Muniz says he wanted to “change the lives of people with the same materials they deal with every day.” A photograph of his recreation of the French painting sold for £28,000 ($50,000) at a London art auction. Muniz gave the money to the catadores workers’ organization. In 2010, a movie called Waste Land was made about Muniz’s project. The film received many awards and helped make people aware of the rubbish collectors’ lives. The catadores also began to see themselves differently. “Sometimes we see ourselves as so small,” says Irma, a cook at Gramacho, “but people out there see us as so big, so beautiful.” 1．Why did the writer mention Valter Dos Santos? A．To tell the story of a catador’s life. B．To describe the catadores’ hard conditions. C．To show the value of a catador’s work. D．To give an example of successful catadores. 2．What can we learn about Muniz’s photographs? A．They were all taken at the landfill. B．He spent a long time on each of them. C．They were only part of his unusual creation. D．He took them in the style of famous paintings. 3．Which of the following is the most suitable for ________? A．Why take such photos of these catadores? B．Why create such huge images using rubbish? C．How to help these people in a creative way? D．How to turn everyday objects into art pieces? 4．Which of the following shows the right order of the things that happened? a. A movie was made about Muniz’s project. b. Gramacho stopped receiving rubbish. c. Dos Santos started working at Gramacho. d. Muniz made friends with some catadores. A．d-c-b-a. B．c-d-b-a. C．d-c-a-b. D．c-d-a-b. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了巴西艺术家Vik Muniz通过使用垃圾填埋场的日常物品创作艺术，改变人们对垃圾和垃圾收集者生活的看法，并与垃圾收集者合作完成艺术项目的过程。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段Valter Dos Santos的话“I am proud to be a picker…That single can will make the difference”可知，作者提到他是为了展示垃圾收集者工作的价值。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段“Muniz photographed a landfill worker in the style of a famous French painting…They used materials from the landfill to create huge images”可知，这些照片只是他非常规创作的一部分。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据空缺后Muniz的话“change the lives of people with the same materials they deal with every day”可知，此处应解释用垃圾创作巨型图像的原因。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据原文信息：c（Dos Santos工作25年，早于2007年项目）→d（2007年Muniz与收集者成为朋友）→a（2010年电影上映）→b（2012年填埋场关闭）。故选D。 模拟演练 Passage 1 In a small city, there is a little girl named Lily.

Can we see them in our daily life? Are they good or bad for human beings? Microplastics are very small. According to National Geographic, microplastics are usually less than five millimeters (毫米) in size. But they bring big problems. This small size lets them go everywhere, even in water and air. They don’t break down easily and can stay in the environment for hundreds of years. A new study said that by 2040, microplastic pollution could be twice as bad as it is now. Microplastics are very small pieces of plastic. They come from many places. For example, about 60 percent of material made into clothes is plastic. Every time the clothes are washed, they produce microplastics. When water bottles and other big plastic products are left outside, they break down slowly into microplastics. These microplastics can be bad for our health and even cause cancer. In August, The Conversation reported that scientists found microplastics in people’s brains for the first time. They may hurt brain cells (细胞) and change how the brain works. Wild animals are also at risk from microplastic pollution. Each year, up to three million tons of plastics end up in the ocean. As they break down day by day, they become virtually invisible gradually (逐渐地). Fish may eat them by mistake (无意地) and become very sick. To deal with the problem, scientists think the best way right now is to make and use less plastic. As students, we can reduce plastic things in our daily life, such as using glass or metal cups instead of plastic bottles and cups. 1．The writer starts the text by ________. A．telling stories B．asking questions C．listing numbers D．giving examples 2．What can we know about microplastics from the passage? A．Microplastics are often over five millimeters. B．It’s hard for microplastics to break down. C．Microplastics can help people’s brain work better. D．Microplastics do little harm to animals. 3．What does the underlined phrase “virtually invisible” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．especially small and hard to see B．completely harmless to animals C．easily found in the water D．brightly colored and attractive 4．What would be the best title for the text? A．Solutions to Microplastic Pollution B．Tiny Pieces of Plastic causing big Problems C．Future of Ocean Pollution from Microplastics D．First Finding of Microplastics in Human Brains 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了微塑料的来源、危害，以及应对微塑料污染问题的建议。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Have you heard of microplastics (微塑料)? Can we see them in our daily life? Are they good or bad for human beings?”可知，作者通过提问的方式开启文章。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“They don’t break down easily and can stay in the environment for hundreds of years.”可知，微塑料不容易分解，能在环境中存在数百年。故选B。 3．词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“As they break down day by day, they become virtually invisible gradually (逐渐地). Fish may eat them by mistake (无意地) and become very sick.”可知，微塑料随着时间分解会逐渐变得看不见，鱼可能会误食它们而生病。由此可推断，“virtually invisible”意为“特别小，很难看到”。故选A。 4．最佳标题题。根据文章第二段“But they bring big problems.”以及后文对微塑料危害的描述可知，文章主要讲述的是微小的塑料片引发的大问题。选项B“Tiny Pieces of Plastic causing big Problems”符合文章主旨。故选B。 Passage 3 Rainforests (热带雨林) are very important for the Earth (地球).
