A. is racing B. raced C. has been racing D. is raced 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查动词时态。句意：火车自从离开西宁后就一直快速平稳地行驶。race“快速移动”。根据“since it left Xining”可知，此处表示火车从离开西宁开始一直持续到现在并且还将继续进行的动作，时态用现在完成进行时，谓语用has been racing。故选C。 2. The first landmark ________ my eye is the splendid Qingshuihe Bridge, the world’s longest bridge built over permafrost. A. to catch B. caught C. catching D. being caught 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：第一个吸引我注意的地标是壮观的清水河大桥，这是世界上建在永久冻土上的最长桥梁。catch one’s eye“引起某人的注意”。本句谓语为is，此处为非谓语动词，且landmark与catch为主动关系，又因landmark被序数词修饰，用不定式to catch作后置定语。故选A。 3.

A. as long as B. though C. since D. before 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查时间状语从句。句意：旅途过得飞快，不知不觉中，我们已经到达了唐古拉站。A. as long as只要；B. though虽然；C. since自从；D. before在……之前，还没来得及……就……。结合“The journey has been flying by”和“I know it”可知，空格处应表达“不知不觉中，还没来得及……就”，用before引导时间状语从句。故选D。 4. Darwin suspected that the finches ________ from a common ancestor. A. had evolved B. evolved C. has evolved D. was evolving 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查动词时态。句意：达尔文推测这些雀类是从一个共同的祖先进化而来的。主句谓语suspected是一般过去时，而“雀类进化”发生在“推测”这一动作之前，即 “过去的过去”，此空应是过去完成时had evolved，作从句谓语。故选A。 5. The plant releases tiny amounts of chemicals from the leaves ________ are being eaten. A. where B. what C. that D. who 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：植物从正在被啃食的叶子中释放出微量的化学物质。本空引导定语从句，修饰先行词the leaves，指物，关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作主语，所以应用关系代词that或which引导，选项中没有which，用that引导该定语从句。故选C。 6.

A. convincing B. abstract C. embarrassing D. complicated 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：达尔文的科学研究是如此有说服力，以至于越来越多的人开始相信他的理论。A. convincing有说服力的；B. abstract抽象的；C. embarrassing令人尴尬的；D. complicated复杂的。由“more and more people started believe his theory”可知，越来越多的人开始相信他的理论，所以达尔文的科学研究有说服力。故选A。 7.

Then another bean plant ________ the chemicals from its injured neighbor, it starts to release its own, different chemicals. A. generate B. detect C. suspect D. blame 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：当一株植物察觉到来自受损伤邻居的化学物质时，它就会开始释放自己特有的、不同的化学物质。A. generate产生；B. detect发现，查明；C. suspect怀疑；D. blame责备。结合“the chemicals from its injured neighbor”可知，空格处应表达“发现，察觉”，故用detect。故选B。 9.

For everyone’s safety we met outside. Despite the wintry weather, her hug warmed me from the inside out. It’s strange, but only now do I truly realize how much I’ve missed embracing loved ones-- the warmth that remains long after our arms have loosened. Growing up through war in my hometown of Sarajevo, Bosnia, every moment was full of danger. On one peaceful morning. I had begged my mom to let me go outside after spending weeks wilting (蔫) indoors. She finally agreed. I was outside for only 10 minutes when I was caught in an explosion. I ran to my neighbor’s house for safety and threw my arms around her neck just as my legs collapsed underneath me. She hugged me with both arms and dragged me into her house. I was still in her arms when the ambulance arrived. Thankfully. I made a full physical recovery, but the emotional scars never left me. Years later there was another explosion near my house. I was safely inside, but my father had left to buy a loaf of bread. He had only just missed the blast. When he came back inside, I gave him the biggest hug imaginable. I was caked in tears as I held him tight. That same night my parents managed to arrange my escape from our war-torn city. They desperately wanted at least some of my childhood to be normal. I was 16 and came to America on my own. A generous host family took me in and I began learning English and going to school. They had a large dog called Oscar. Over the next several months, I secretly struggled with feeling homesick and worried about my family back home. Despite managing quite well at school, I couldn’t express my feelings. The only way I shared how I felt was by giving Oscar a big hug. It is yet another sad aspect of our pandemic lives that hugging a stranger is the last thing on our minds. For many of us, even hugging a relative or a friend comes with stress and anxiety over risks and precautions (防范). Perhaps we have undervalued the impact of a simple hug. As I look back on my past, I count myself truly lucky to have been held, shielded and encouraged at some of the most key moments of my life by the almost super power of a hug. I pray that in the not-so-distant future we can safely hold one another again - a friend, relative, or even a stranger. 36. Why did the author mention her sister-in-law’s visit at the beginning? A. It reminded the author of her past hugs. B. It encouraged the author to hug strangers. C. It made the author think of her large family. D. It made the author forget the pandemic temporarily. 37. What happened to the author when she lived in her hometown of Sarajevo, Bosnia? A. Her leg collapsed in an explosion. B. Her mother loved her too much to send her to America. C. She was warmed by her neighbor’s hug. D. She recovered quickly from the wounds of the war. 38. How did the author feel when she hugged her father? A. Frightened B. Relieved C. Embarrassed D. Astonished 39. What problem did the author find after she came to America? A. She was treated badly by her host family. B. She couldn’t catch up with her classmates at school. C. She couldn’t adapt to the new environment. D. She missed and worried about her family members. 40. What is the author’s purpose in writing this article? A. To express how she feels about war. B. To share how important hugs are to her. C. To introduce the ups and downs in her life. D. To complain about the impact of the pandemic. 【答案】36. A 37. C 38. B 39. D 40. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者嫂子来拜访作者，见面时拥抱了作者，这让作者想起来过去对别人拥抱的重要经历，并告诉我们一个简单的拥抱会对自己和别人产生重要的影响。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I had not hugged a friend or a family member for more than two years until recently when my sister-in-law flew in for a brief visit. For everyone’s safety, we met outside. Despite the wintry weather, her hug warmed me from the inside out. It’s strange, but only now do I truly realize how much I’ve missed embracing loved ones-- the warmth that remains long after our arms have loosened.(我已经有两年多没有拥抱过一个朋友或家人了，直到最近，我的嫂子飞过来做了一次短暂的拜访。为了大家的安全，我们在外面见过。尽管天气寒冷，她的拥抱还是让我由内而外感到温暖。这很奇怪，但直到现在我才真正意识到我有多么怀念拥抱所爱的人——在我们的手臂松开很久之后仍然保持的温暖。)”和下文讲到作者小时候拥抱别人的事可推知，作者一开始就提到嫂子的来访，这是因为这让作者想起了她以前的拥抱。故选A。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Growing up through war in my hometown of Sarajevo, Bosnia, every moment was full of danger.....I ran to my neighbor’s house for safety and threw my arms around her neck just as my legs collapsed underneath me. She hugged me with both arms and dragged me into her house. I was still in her arms when the ambulance arrived.(在我的家乡波斯尼亚的Sarajevo，战争中长大，每时每刻都充满了危险……我跑到邻居家寻求安全，双臂环绕在她的脖子上，而我的双腿却倒在了地上。她用双臂拥抱了我，把我拖进了她家。救护车来的时候我还在她怀里。)”可知，当作者住在家乡波斯尼亚的Sarajevo时，她被邻居的拥抱温暖了。故选C。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“He had only just missed the blast. When he came back inside, I gave him the biggest hug imaginable. I was caked in tears as I held him tight.(他刚好错过了爆炸。当他回来的时候，我给了他一个你能想象到的最大的拥抱。我紧紧地抱着他，泪流满面。)”可知，作者的爸爸错过了爆炸，安全回到家，由此可推知，作者拥抱爸爸的时候感到如释重负，故选B。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“I was 16 and came to America on my own......Over the next several months, I secretly struggled with feeling homesick and worried about my family back home. ( 那年我16岁，独自一人来到美国……在接下来的几个月里，我暗暗地为思乡和担心家人而苦苦挣扎。)”可知，在作者到达美国后，她很想念并担心她的家人。故选D。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中“Perhaps we have undervalued the impact of a simple hug. As I look back on my past, I count myself truly lucky to have been held, shielded and encouraged at some of the most key moments of my life by the almost super power of a hug. I pray that in the not-so-distant future we can safely hold one another again - a friend, relative, or even a stranger.(也许我们低估了一个简单拥抱的影响。当我回顾过去的时候，我觉得自己真的很幸运，在我生命中最关键的时刻被拥抱的力量所拥抱、保护和鼓励。我祈祷在不久的将来，我们能够再次安全地拥抱彼此——一个朋友，一个亲戚，甚至一个陌生人。)”可知，作者嫂子来拜访作者，见面时拥抱了作者，这让作者想起来过去对别人拥抱的重要经历，并告诉我们一个简单的拥抱会产生重要的影响。由此可推知，作者的写作目的是分享拥抱对她有多重要。故选B。 C Canaries, a kind of small yellow songbirds, are more sensitive to carbon monoxide (CO) than people are. Thus they were routinely taken into mines as men went about their work of mining for coal. CO could quickly poison many miners before they even knew what was happening. If a canary stopped singing, this was an indicator of rising CO levels. Now ecologists think they’ve found a “canary” that could predict possible disaster for tropical (热带的) ecosystems—the cricket (a small brown jumping insect). Crickets are tiny, present in large numbers and, most importantly, noisy. The chirps (唧唧叫声) of individual species are identifiably different. Researchers had previously wondered if ecosystems might be monitored by listening to how the sounds of their crickets change over time. Amandine Gasc and her colleagues studied cricket populations on Grande Terre Island in New Caledonia, where multiple ecosystems often exist very near to each other. They collected crickets at 12 sampling sites. Four were healthy forest sites, four were shrubland (灌木地) areas, which is often created when people cut down forests, and four were shrubland areas that were turning into forests again. They listened for insects in square zones and ran ten 30-minute collection sessions at each site. Dr. Gasc described how each ecosystem had, in effect, a distinct “cricket fingerprint”. Species richness varies considerably among the different environments. Of the 20 cricket species found in the healthy forest, 12 were unique to that habitat alone, 2 of the 15 species found in transitioning forests were unique to this habitat and 3 of the 7 shrubland species were unique to shrubland. Just by looking at the crickets found in a given location, the team found that it was possible to determine whether they were looking at shrubland, forest or shrubland that was changing into the forest. There was no need to examine the other surrounding plants or animals. What’s more, Dr. Gasc’s team found each habitat contained cricket species that generated their identifiable chirps. This suggests that setting up audio recorders in forests that pick up cricket calls will be an easy, cheap and accurate way to detect the early stages of change in tropical ecosystems. 41. Why did miners take the canary into mines? A. To bring down CO levels. B. To promote their work efficiency. C. To offer them some entertainment. D. To remind them of the potential danger. 42. How did Dr. Gasc and her colleagues carry out their study? A. By analyzing “cricket fingerprints”. B. By comparing plants in different zones. C. By observing the changes in landscapes. D. By referring to previous findings on crickets. 43. What conclusion may Dr. Gasc and her colleagues draw from their study? A. Healthy forests may attract fitter crickets. B. Crickets are suitable to be indicators in mines. C. Different species of crickets may sound different alarms. D. The species of crickets are strongly related to the environment. 44. What’s the point of Dr. Gasc’s studying crickets? A. To enrich the methods of monitoring the crickets. B. To arouse people’s awareness of protecting crickets. C. To correct the previous wrong recognition of crickets. D. To help humans easily monitor environmental changes. 45. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Canaries: miners’ good helpers. B. How crickets are distributed in tropical areas. C. Crickets: an early indicator of tropical ecosystem health. D. Why cricket chirps are collected on Grande Terre Island. 【答案】41. D 42. A 43. D 44. D 45. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了一项研究发现，通过观测蟋蟀的叫声，可以监测热带生态系统变化的早期阶段。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“Canaries, a kind of small yellow songbirds, are more sensitive to carbon monoxide (CO) than people are. Thus they were routinely taken into mines as men went about their work of mining for coal. CO could quickly poison many miners before they even knew what was happening. If a canary stopped singing, this was an indicator of rising CO levels.”（金丝雀是一种黄色的小型鸣禽，对一氧化碳（CO）比人更敏感。因此，当人们开始开采煤炭时，它们经常被带进矿井。一氧化碳可以迅速毒害许多矿工，甚至在他们知道发生了什么之前。如果金丝雀停止唱歌，这是一氧化碳水平上升的迹象）可知，金丝雀对一氧化碳比人更敏感，金丝雀停止唱歌是一氧化碳水平上升的迹象，可以提醒矿工注意潜在的危险。由此可知，矿工们把金丝雀带进矿井是为了提醒他们注意潜在的危险。故选D项。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段关键句“Dr. Gasc described how each ecosystem had, in effect, a distinct “cricket fingerprint”. Species richness varies considerably among the different environments.”（Gasc博士描述了每个生态系统实际上是如何具有独特的“蟋蟀指纹”的。不同环境的物种丰富度差异很大）可知，Gasc和她的同事通过分析“蟋蟀指纹”来了解不同环境的物种丰富度。由此可知，Gasc和她的同事通过分析“蟋蟀指纹”来进行研究。故选A项。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段关键句“Of the 20 cricket species found in the healthy forest, 12 were unique to that habitat alone, 2 of the 15 species found in transitioning forests were unique to this habitat and 3 of the 7 shrubland species were unique to shrubland.”（在健康森林中发现的20种蟋蟀中，仅该栖息地就有12种是独特的，在过渡森林中发现15种蟋蟀中有2种是该栖息地特有的，7种灌木林中发现的蟋蟀中有3种是灌木林特有的）可知，健康森林、过渡森林和灌木林中发现的蟋蟀种类不同，由此可知，Gasc博士和她的同事们可以从研究中得知蟋蟀的种类与环境密切相关。故选D项。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“This suggests that setting up audio recorders in forests that pick up cricket calls will be an easy, cheap and accurate way to detect the early stages of change in tropical ecosystems.”（这表明，在森林中设置录音机来接收蟋蟀的叫声，将是一种简单、廉价和准确的方法，可以检测热带生态系统变化的早期阶段）可知，Gasc博士研究蟋蟀的结论表明观测蟋蟀的叫声将是一种简单、廉价和准确的监测环境变化的方法。由此可知，Gasc博士研究蟋蟀的目的是帮助人类轻松监测环境变化。故选D项。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合最后一段关键句“This suggests that setting up audio recorders in forests that pick up cricket calls will be an easy, cheap and accurate way to detect the early stages of change in tropical ecosystems.”（这表明，在森林中设置录音机来接收蟋蟀的叫声，将是一种简单、廉价和准确的方法，可以检测热带生态系统变化的早期阶段）可知，本文主要介绍了一项研究发现，通过观测蟋蟀的叫声，可以监测热带生态系统变化的早期阶段，“Crickets: an early indicator of tropical ecosystem health”意为“蟋蟀：热带生态系统健康的早期标志”，选项能够概括文章主要内容。故选C项。 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题（共25分） 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分25分） 第一节 阅读表达（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Are you aged between 14 and 19 years old? Do you care about your local environment? Would you like to help make the area you live in better, cleaner, safer and friendlier? If your answers are ‘yes’, ‘yes’ and ‘yes’, then read on! A local organization is carrying out a project, giving money to groups of teenagers who want to become active citizens. Here are a few easy things you could do to get started. Meeting the neighbors. Everybody needs good neighbors. Knock on people’s doors and find out what they would like to improve in your area. Set a date for a meeting and then make some plans together. If you don’t want to go round to their houses, then you could always put a note through their doors. Neighborhood watch. It is very popular in the UK. If you go away on holiday and leave your house, it’s very nice to know that a neighbor is keeping an eye on it. It’s a good way to make the area you live in safer. Lending a hand. There are often elderly people living in the neighborhood who may not be able to do the things that you can. Offer to do their shopping once a week, look after their gardens for them or maybe walk their dogs! No littering. Nobody likes picking up other people’s rubbish, but a clean street can make all the difference. Go out once or twice a week and see what you can find. You never know, one day you might find something valuable! Just tell us what you want to do. Then we’ll send you more information. 46. What is the aim of the project?

Offer to do their shopping once a week, look after their gardens for them or maybe walk their dogs! (经常有老年人居住在附近，他们可能不能做你能做的事情。每周帮他们买一次东西，帮他们照看花园，或者帮他们遛狗!)”可知，这里讲的是积极主动地为需要帮助的人提供帮助，所以lending a hand的意思是“帮助需要帮助的人或提供帮助”。故答案为Helping someone who needs help. Or: Offering help. 【49题详解】 考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中“Go out once or twice a week and see what you can find. (每周出去一两次，看看你能捡到什么。)”可知，建议青少年每周出去一次或两次捡垃圾。故答案为Once or twice a week. 【50题详解】 考查开放性试题。通读全文，根据第一段中“Do you care about your local environment? Would you like to help make the area you live in better, cleaner, safer and friendlier? (你关心你当地的环境吗？你愿意帮助你生活的地方变得更美好、更干净、更安全、更友好吗？)”以及“Here are a few easy things you could do to get started.(这里有一些你可以开始做的简单的事情。)”可知，本文主要介绍一个项目，号召青少年关心当地环境，行动起来，让自己生活的地方更美好、更干净、更安全、更友好。作为项目中的一员，我们照顾邻居，守望社区，帮助他人，不乱扔垃圾。因为这样做，我们的社区可以变得更美好、更清洁、更安全和更友好。故答案为I will care for neighbors, watch neighborhood, help others and don’t litter.

For everyone’s safety, we met outside. Despite the wintry weather, her hug warmed me from the inside out. It’s strange, but only now do I truly realize how much I’ve missed embracing loved ones-- the warmth that remains long after our arms have loosened. Growing up through war in my hometown of Sarajevo, Bosnia, every moment was full of danger. On one peaceful morning. I had begged my mom to let me go outside after spending weeks wilting (蔫) indoors. She finally agreed. I was outside for only 10 minutes when I was caught in an explosion. I ran to my neighbor’s house for safety and threw my arms around her neck just as my legs collapsed underneath me. She hugged me with both arms and dragged me into her house. I was still in her arms when the ambulance arrived. Thankfully. I made a full physical recovery, but the emotional scars never left me. Years later there was another explosion near my house. I was safely inside, but my father had left to buy a loaf of bread. He had only just missed the blast. When he came back inside, I gave him the biggest hug imaginable. I was caked in tears as I held him tight. That same night my parents managed to arrange my escape from our war-torn city. They desperately wanted at least some of my childhood to be normal. I was 16 and came to America on my own. A generous host family took me in and I began learning English and going to school. They had a large dog called Oscar. Over the next several months, I secretly struggled with feeling homesick and worried about my family back home. Despite managing quite well at school, I couldn’t express my feelings. The only way I shared how I felt was by giving Oscar a big hug. It is yet another sad aspect of our pandemic lives that hugging a stranger is the last thing on our minds. For many of us, even hugging a relative or a friend comes with stress and anxiety over risks and precautions (防范). Perhaps we have undervalued the impact of a simple hug. As I look back on my past, I count myself truly lucky to have been held, shielded and encouraged at some of the most key moments of my life by the almost super power of a hug. I pray that in the not-so-distant future we can safely hold one another again - a friend, relative, or even a stranger. 36. Why did the author mention her sister-in-law’s visit at the beginning? A. It reminded the author of her past hugs. B. It encouraged the author to hug strangers. C. It made the author think of her large family. D. It made the author forget the pandemic temporarily. 37. What happened to the author when she lived in her hometown of Sarajevo, Bosnia? A. Her leg collapsed in an explosion. B. Her mother loved her too much to send her to America. C. She was warmed by her neighbor’s hug. D. She recovered quickly from the wounds of the war. 38. How did the author feel when she hugged her father? A. Frightened B. Relieved C. Embarrassed D. Astonished 39. What problem did the author find after she came to America? A. She was treated badly by her host family. B. She couldn’t catch up with her classmates at school. C. She couldn’t adapt to the new environment. D. She missed and worried about her family members. 40. What is the author’s purpose in writing this article? A. To express how she feels about war. B. To share how important hugs are to her. C. To introduce the ups and downs in her life. D. To complain about the impact of the pandemic. C Canaries, a kind of small yellow songbirds, are more sensitive to carbon monoxide (CO) than people are. Thus they were routinely taken into mines as men went about their work of mining for coal. CO could quickly poison many miners before they even knew what was happening. If a canary stopped singing, this was an indicator of rising CO levels. Now ecologists think they’ve found a “canary” that could predict possible disaster for tropical (热带的) ecosystems—the cricket (a small brown jumping insect). Crickets are tiny, present in large numbers and, most importantly, noisy. The chirps (唧唧叫声) of individual species are identifiably different. Researchers had previously wondered if ecosystems might be monitored by listening to how the sounds of their crickets change over time. Amandine Gasc and her colleagues studied cricket populations on Grande Terre Island in New Caledonia, where multiple ecosystems often exist very near to each other. They collected crickets at 12 sampling sites. Four were healthy forest sites, four were shrubland (灌木地) areas, which is often created when people cut down forests, and four were shrubland areas that were turning into forests again. They listened for insects in square zones and ran ten 30-minute collection sessions at each site. Dr. Gasc described how each ecosystem had, in effect, a distinct “cricket fingerprint”. Species richness varies considerably among the different environments. Of the 20 cricket species found in the healthy forest, 12 were unique to that habitat alone, 2 of the 15 species found in transitioning forests were unique to this habitat and 3 of the 7 shrubland species were unique to shrubland. Just by looking at the crickets found in a given location, the team found that it was possible to determine whether they were looking at shrubland, forest or shrubland that was changing into the forest. There was no need to examine the other surrounding plants or animals. What’s more, Dr. Gasc’s team found each habitat contained cricket species that generated their identifiable chirps. This suggests that setting up audio recorders in forests that pick up cricket calls will be an easy, cheap and accurate way to detect the early stages of change in tropical ecosystems. 41. Why did miners take the canary into mines? A. To bring down CO levels. B. To promote their work efficiency. C. To offer them some entertainment. D. To remind them of the potential danger. 42. How did Dr. Gasc and her colleagues carry out their study? A. By analyzing “cricket fingerprints”. B. By comparing plants in different zones. C. By observing the changes in landscapes. D.

Crickets are suitable to be indicators in mines. C. Different species of crickets may sound different alarms. D. The species of crickets are strongly related to the environment. 44. What’s the point of Dr. Gasc’s studying crickets? A. To enrich the methods of monitoring the crickets. B. To arouse people’s awareness of protecting crickets. C. To correct the previous wrong recognition of crickets. D. To help humans easily monitor environmental changes. 45. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.

Why cricket chirps are collected on Grande Terre Island. 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题（共25分） 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分25分） 第一节 阅读表达（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Are you aged between 14 and 19 years old? Do you care about your local environment? Would you like to help make the area you live in better, cleaner, safer and friendlier? If your answers are ‘yes’, ‘yes’ and ‘yes’, then read on! A local organization is carrying out a project, giving money to groups of teenagers who want to become active citizens. Here are a few easy things you could do to get started. Meeting the neighbors. Everybody needs good neighbors. Knock on people’s doors and find out what they would like to improve in your area. Set a date for a meeting and then make some plans together. If you don’t want to go round to their houses, then you could always put a note through their doors. Neighborhood watch. It is very popular in the UK. If you go away on holiday and leave your house, it’s very nice to know that a neighbor is keeping an eye on it. It’s a good way to make the area you live in safer. Lending a hand. There are often elderly people living in the neighborhood who may not be able to do the things that you can. Offer to do their shopping once a week, look after their gardens for them or maybe walk their dogs! No littering. Nobody likes picking up other people’s rubbish, but a clean street can make all the difference. Go out once or twice a week and see what you can find.
