A
(2024·河南创新发展联盟高一月考)
As newer, more advanced technologies come out, huge amounts of electronics are thrown away, instead of being reused.These items often end up in landfills, where the chemicals inside them may be a danger to the environment.Electronics can contain harmful materials.If these materials get into the ground or water, the pollution can cause serious problems.Most electronics require metals.These metals must be mined from the Earth.Often the mining process creates serious pollution.
A group known as Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Forum is trying to make people more aware of the problems of e-waste.Recently, the WEEE Forum asked researchers from the United Nations (UN) to study a kind of e-waste that's often not noticed because people don't consider the items to be electronics.The WEEE Forum calls this kind“unable-to-be-seen” e-waste.
The UN study shows that about 1/6 of all e-waste is“unable-to-be-seen”.Though it's“unable-to-be-seen”, it's certainly not a small amount. The“unable-to-be-seen” e-waste weighs about 9 billion kilogrammes.The WEEE Forum says that if this e-waste was put into 40-ton trucks and the trucks were then lined up, the line of trucks would be about 5,630 kilometres long.
The surprising kind leading the“unable-to-be-seen” e-waste group was toys.Worldwide, roughly 7.3 billion electronic toys are thrown away each year.These include items like car racing sets, electric trains, and musical toys.They also include toys with electronic parts, like dolls that speak or games with electronic times.In all, toys make up about 35% of“unable-to-be-seen” e-waste.But the problem is far larger than just toys.The report also shows that other everyday items like home alarms, smoke alarms, power tools, and computer cables(电缆) are also big sources of “unable-to-be-seen” e-waste.
The WEEE Forum is hoping that as more people and governments become aware of e-waste, they will make a much greater effort to make sure electronics get reused.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了电子垃圾对环境的危害及“隐形”电子垃圾问题。

4.Which of the following is the WEEE Forum's solution to e-waste?
A.Designing advanced electronics.
B.Reusing electronics.
C.Stopping giving away electronics.
D.Reducing electronics'production.

When people are overworked or tired, they may take a break by visiting green spaces like forests to relax.But can there be forests inside cities?
Urban forests are not acres and acres of lush greenery.They range from the trees in the park on the corner of your street to the trees lining the sidewalk, or simply bushes in your own backyard!
The idea of care and management for tree populations in urban areas began in North America in the late 1960s and was first called environmental forestry.The greening improved greying cities and soon skyrocketed in popularity.It has now become a whole new discipline of forestry called urban forestry.
Urban forests have the potential to help cities cool down and can be the heart of a city's social life.Even a tiny patch of ground with a few trees can enrich children's playgrounds and have a positive impact on the psychological development of children.They also encourage community interaction: people tend to hang out together a lot more when green spaces are available.
How can we design forests into cities? There are external(外部的)factors in towns that make it challenging to design urban forests into cities.For example, how does a city plant and maintain the trees? Tree canopies(树冠)can block people's view, which could lead to accidents.Urban trees can also cause damage to buildings, due to their roots, and through the falling of whole trees or branches.
However, if we plan waste removal operations in advance, we can handle this issue efficiently; the waste parts can be used for other purposes, such as timber and fuelwood.
So do we need more urban forests? Absolutely! Urban forests represent a city-dweller's easiest access to nature.Given that, cities need to find more creative ideas to provide this beautiful resource for their residents!

(2024·江苏扬州月考)
Although you can't control what packaging other people use, you can make choices about what you order.Here are tips for reducing the environmental impact caused by consumption.
1 .A great way to minimise packaging at home is to avoid impulse (冲动) shopping, which usually results in lots of packages being sent to your door.One way to avoid this is to make a list of items you need throughout the week or month. 2 .That way, all your items can be shipped at one time and in one box.
Shop locally and second-hand.Buying locally and transporting goods with a reusable bag means avoiding any extra packaging arriving at your home. 3 .You can search for things you want that other people no longer need on social media, and help keep items from ending up in landfills.
Choose durable(耐用的) goods. 4 .One package arriving at your house is much more eco-friendly than the multiple packages required when you buy something made from cheap materials that can only be used once or will easily break and then need to be replaced.
Consider versatility(多功能性).Buying products that can be used in a variety of ways can also reduce the amount of packaging.For example, a bag that can be used as a laptop carrier for work or a daypack for urban or outdoor exploring requires only one purchase. 5 .
A.Buy expensive things
B.Plan ahead for shopping
C.You can choose brands that use eco-friendly materials
D.Buying used things is even better for the environment
E.You can also try online shopping in one place if possible
F.Purchase things that are built to last if you must buy something new
G.And a bonus is that such items save you money and space in your home
语篇解读 文章是一篇说明文。文章介绍了减少消费对环境影响的建议。
1.答案:B
解析:根据下文的“A great way to minimise packaging at home is to avoid impulse(冲动)shopping”及“One way to avoid this is to make a list of items you need throughout the week or month.”可知,本段主要介绍在家里尽量减少包装的一个好方法是避免冲动购物,而避免这种情况的一种方法是列出一周或一个月所需的物品清单,即制订购物计划。故B 项(提前进行购物规划)符合语境。
2.答案:E
解析:根据下文的“That way, all your items can be shipped at one time and in one box.”可知,下文提到那样的话所有的物品就可以装在一个箱子里一次性运送,由此推测本句是在说明能够让东西一次性运走的条件。故E 项(如果可能的话,你也可以尝试在一个地方网购)符合语境。
3.答案:D
解析:根据本段的主题句“Shop locally and second-hand.”及上文的“Buying locally and transporting goods with a reusable bag means avoiding any extra packaging arriving at your home.”可知,上文提到在当地购物并使用可重复使用的袋子运输物品的好处;再根据下文内容可知,设空处应提及另一方面,即购买二手物品对环境的好处。故D项(购买二手物品对环境更有利)符合语境。
4.答案:F
解析:根据本段主题句“Choose durable goods.”及设空处后一句可知,本段的建议是购买耐用的商品,下文给出了理由,F项(如果你一定要买新东西,就买耐用的东西)符合语境,F项中的 things that are built to last 与上文的 durable goods 相照应。
5.答案:G
解析:设空处为本段最后一句,应承接上文;根据上文的“Consider versatility(多功能性).Buying products that can be used in a variety of ways can also reduce the amount of packaging.”可知, 设空处应补充说明购买多功能性商品的好处。故G项(还有一个好处就是这类东西可以节省你的钱和家里的空间)符合语境。
