They can clean water and they are home to sea animals. But over the past 20 years, oysters in Mississippi's Gulf waters have been destroyed. A girl named Demi has been helping them. When she was in Grade 7, she wanted to get a Girl Scout Silver badge. Her Girl Scout leader told her to raise oysters at a pier. Demi did it. Demi's Mississippi Oyster Gardening Project has produced 1,000 oysters. These oysters will have millions more. This helps improve the health of the nearby sea's environment. Demi is now in Grade 9. She is one of the top players in the Slingshot Challenge. She won a $1,000 prize. She gave the money to her project. She plans to study environmental law and be a lawyer who speaks for the environment. Oh, and she has got her Girl Scout Silver badge. 牡蛎礁有什么作用？它们可以净化水质，也是众多海洋生物的家园。 但在过去20年里，密西西比州附近海域的牡蛎数量遭到严重破坏。一位名叫黛米的女孩一直在帮助它们恢复。七年级时，她想获得女童子军银奖。女童子军队长建议她在一个码头上尝试养殖牡蛎。黛米照做了。 黛米发起的“密西西比牡蛎养殖项目”已经培育出了1000只牡蛎。这些牡蛎未来将繁衍出数以百万计的后代。这有助于改善附近海域的生态环境健康。 黛米现在是一名九年级学生。她是“投石索挑战赛”的优秀选手之一，赢得了1000美元奖金。她把所有奖金都投入到了自己的项目中。 她计划学习环境法，将来成为一名为环境发声的律师。哦，对了，她已经成功获得了女童子军银奖。 【长难句分析】 1. 原句：Demi's Mississippi Oyster Gardening Project has produced 1,000 oysters. 句意：黛米发起的“密西西比牡蛎养殖项目”已经培育出了1000只牡蛎。 分析：本句是现在完成时态的主谓宾结构。主语是“Demi's Mississippi Oyster Gardening Project”，谓语是“has produced”，宾语是“1,000 oysters”。 2. 原句：She plans to study environmental law and be a lawyer who speaks for the environment. 句意：她计划学习环境法，将来成为一名为环境发声的律师。 分析：本句是主谓宾结构。主语是“She”，谓语是“plans”，宾语是由“and”连接的两个并列的不定式短语“to study environmental law”和“(to) be a lawyer who speaks for the environment”。第二个不定式短语中，“who speaks for the environment”是关系代词“who”引导的定语从句，修饰先行词“a lawyer”。 如需填空版或英中对照版，请告诉我。 【重难词汇梳理】 ① oyster reefs n. 牡蛎礁 ② clean v. 净化 ③ home n. 家园 ④ sea animals n. 海洋生物 ⑤ destroyed v. 破坏 (destroy的过去分词) ⑥ Gulf n. 海湾 ⑦ Girl Scout n. 女童子军 ⑧ badge n. 奖章 ⑨ leader n. 队长 ⑩ raise v. 养殖 ⑪ pier n. 码头 ⑫ gardening project n. 养殖项目 ⑬ produced v. 培育 (produce的过去分词) ⑭ millions n. 数百万 ⑮ improve v. 改善 ⑯ environment n. 环境 ⑰ top players n. 优秀选手 ⑱ prize n. 奖金 ⑲ environmental law n. 环境法 ⑳ lawyer n. 律师 Passage2 The "Big Bird" Hike Aims to Protect the Eurasian Curlew “大鸟”徒步旨在保护欧亚杓鹬 Some people in northern England saw a very large bird walking around the countryside. It was 10 feet long from beak tip to tail. It had a long thin beak and big brown eyes. But it was not a real large bird. It was a man called Matt Trevelyan. He wore a handmade bird costume. The costume looked like a Eurasian curlew. He spent three days making it and called it “Cathy”. Matt started walking from a small town on April 19. On the first day, he walked 25 miles. The next day, he walked another 28 miles. He sometimes ran and sometimes walked. He could see where he was going by looking through a small hole in the costume’s neck. “The costume was easy to walk in,” Matt said. “I just pointed the beak in the right direction and ducked under branches. That’s OK.” Matt came up with this idea to let people care about the Eurasian curlew. It is in danger because of land-use changes, habitat loss, predators and climate change. 英国北部的一些乡间居民看到了一只体型巨大的鸟在四处走动。它从喙尖到尾部长达10英尺，长着细长的喙和棕色的大眼睛。 但这并非一只真正的大鸟。它是一个名叫马特·特里维廉的人。他穿着一件手工制作的鸟类道具服。这件道具服看起来像一只欧亚勺嘴鹬。他花了三天时间制作完成，并给它取名为“凯茜”。 马特于4月19日从一个小镇出发，开始了他的行走之旅。第一天，他走了25英里。第二天，他又走了28英里。他时而奔跑，时而行走。透过道具服颈部的一个小孔，他能看清前进的方向。 “穿着这件道具服走路很轻松，”马特说，“我只需把喙对准正确的方向，然后在树枝下低头弯腰就行了。这没什么问题。” 马特想出这个主意，是为了让人们关注欧亚勺嘴鹬。由于土地利用方式的改变、栖息地丧失、天敌威胁以及气候变化，这种鸟类正面临生存危机。 【长难句分析】 1. 原句：Matt came up with this idea to let people care about the Eurasian curlew. 句意：马特想出这个主意，是为了让人们关注欧亚勺嘴鹬。 分析：本句是主谓宾结构。主语是“Matt”，谓语是动词短语“came up with”，宾语是“this idea”。动词不定式短语“to let people care about the Eurasian curlew”作目的状语，修饰谓语，说明想出这个主意的目的。其中“let people care about...”是“let + 宾语 + 省略to的不定式”结构。 2. 原句：It is in danger because of land-use changes, habitat loss, predators and climate change. 句意：由于土地利用方式的改变、栖息地丧失、天敌威胁以及气候变化，这种鸟类正面临生存危机。 分析：本句是主系表结构。主语是“It”，系动词是“is”，介词短语“in danger”作表语。“because of...”是复合介词引导的原因状语，后面跟四个并列的名词短语：“land-use changes”、“habitat loss”、“predators”和“climate change”，共同说明面临危险的原因。 【重难词汇梳理】 ① northern adj. 北部的 ② countryside n. 乡间；农村 ③ beak n. 鸟喙 ④ tip n. 尖端 ⑤ tail n. 尾巴 ⑥ real adj. 真正的 ⑦ wore v. 穿着 (wear的过去式) ⑧ handmade adj. 手工制作的 ⑨ costume n. 道具服；服装 ⑩ Eurasian curlew n. 欧亚勺嘴鹬 ⑪ making v. 制作 (make的动名词/现在分词) ⑫ started v. 开始 (start的过去式) ⑬ miles n. 英里 (mile的复数) ⑭ next adj. 接下来的 ⑮ hole n. 孔；洞 ⑯ easy adj. 容易的 ⑰ pointed v. 对准 (point的过去式) ⑱ direction n. 方向 ⑲ idea n. 主意；想法 ⑳ because conj. 因为 实战演练 Passage1 Activity Description Action Steps Reduce Minimize the use of single-use products and energy consumption 1.

It’s like a ladder with three important steps, and each step helps us protect the planet. Let’s climb up together! The first and most important step is to reduce the amount of waste we create. It’s like being a superhero who stops waste before it even starts! Before you buy something new, think carefully: “Do I really need this thing?” Maybe you can borrow it from a friend, find it used, or choose something that can be used again and again. Every time you say “no” to something you don’t really need, you’re helping the earth. The second step is all about getting creative with what we already have. Imagine you have a glass jar that’s just sitting in your cupboard. Instead of letting it collect dust, why not use it to store things? Old clothes can become handy cleaning rags or stylish tote bags. By reusing things, we keep them out of the trash and even save money! The third step is recycling, which is still very important. But remember, it’s not the only thing we should do. First, find out what your local recycling program will take. Then, make sure you put your recyclables in the right bins. If they’re mixed up with the wrong things, they might end up in the trash anyway. So, let’s keep recycling going! 1．What is the first step in managing waste according to the passage? A．Recycling. B．Reusing. C．Reducing. D．Composting. 2．What does the author compare reducing waste to? A．A scientist’s experiment. B．A detective’s work. C．A superhero’s mission. D．A doctor’s advice. 3．Why is it suggested to think before buying something new? A．To save money. B．To help the earth. C．To impress friends. D．To collect more things. 4．What can an old glass jar be used for according to the passage? A．A pencil holder. B．A flower vase. C．Storing things. D．A toy for pets. 5．What is the main benefit of reusing things mentioned in the passage? A．It’s fun. B．It saves money and keeps items out of the trash. C．It makes you popular. D．It’s easy to do. 6．What should you do before recycling? A．Throw everything in one bin. B．Find out what your local program will take. C．Ignore the recycling rules. D．Mix recyclables with non-recyclables. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．C 5．B 6．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了环保管理中处理废物的三个重要步骤：减少、重复利用和回收。 1．细节理解题。根据“The first and most important step is to reduce the amount of waste we create.”可知，处理废物的第一步是减少废物的产生。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“It’s like being a superhero who stops waste before it even starts!”可知，作者将减少废物比作超级英雄的任务。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“Every time you say ‘no’ to something you don’t really need, you’re helping the earth.”可知，建议在购买新东西前思考是为了帮助地球。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“Instead of letting it collect dust, why not use it to store things?”可知，旧的玻璃罐可以用来储存东西。故选C。 5．细节理解题。根据“By reusing things, we keep them out of the trash and even save money!”可知，再利用物品的主要好处是节省资金并避免物品被丢弃。故选B。 6．细节理解题。根据“First, find out what your local recycling program will take.”可知，在回收之前，应该先了解当地的回收项目接受哪些物品。故选B。 Passage3 After school, Mike and Jim walked towards home. “I wish we could play basketball in our neighborhood park.” said Jim. “But the basketball hoop (环，箍) at the park is 1 ,” said Mike, “We can not use it now.” They walked past the town’s recycling station. 2 Mike saw many recyclable plastic, paper and metal objects, he thought of an idea: “Maybe we could reuse something to make a basketball hoop.” As he looked around the station, an old plastic basket caught his eye. “We can use this,” he held it up and said to Jim.

It was 10 feet long from beak tip to tail. It had a long thin beak and big brown eyes. But it was not a real large bird. It was a man called Matt Trevelyan. He wore a handmade bird costume. The costume looked like a Eurasian curlew. He spent three days making it and called it “Cathy”. Matt started walking from a small town on April 19. On the first day, he walked 25 miles.

He could see where he was going by looking through a small hole in the costume’s neck. “The costume was easy to walk in,” Matt said. “I just pointed the beak in the right direction and ducked under branches. That’s OK.” Matt came up with this idea to let people care about the Eurasian curlew. It is in danger because of land-use changes, habitat loss, predators and climate change. 英国北部的一些乡间居民看到了一只体型巨大的鸟在四处走动。它从喙尖到尾部长达10英尺，长着细长的喙和棕色的大眼睛。 但这并非一只真正的大鸟。它是一个名叫马特·特里维廉的人。他穿着一件手工制作的鸟类道具服。这件道具服看起来像一只欧亚勺嘴鹬。他花了三天时间制作完成，并给它取名为“凯茜”。 马特于4月19日从一个小镇出发，开始了他的行走之旅。第一天，他走了25英里。第二天，他又走了28英里。他时而奔跑，时而行走。透过道具服颈部的一个小孔，他能看清前进的方向。 “穿着这件道具服走路很轻松，”马特说，“我只需把喙对准正确的方向，然后在树枝下低头弯腰就行了。这没什么问题。” 马特想出这个主意，是为了让人们关注欧亚勺嘴鹬。由于土地利用方式的改变、栖息地丧失、天敌威胁以及气候变化，这种鸟类正面临生存危机。 【长难句分析】 1. 原句：Matt came up with this idea to let people care about the Eurasian curlew. 句意：马特想出这个主意，是为了让人们关注欧亚勺嘴鹬。 分析：本句是主谓宾结构。主语是“Matt”，谓语是动词短语“came up with”，宾语是“this idea”。动词不定式短语“to let people care about the Eurasian curlew”作目的状语，修饰谓语，说明想出这个主意的目的。其中“let people care about...”是“let + 宾语 + 省略to的不定式”结构。 2. 原句：It is in danger because of land-use changes, habitat loss, predators and climate change. 句意：由于土地利用方式的改变、栖息地丧失、天敌威胁以及气候变化，这种鸟类正面临生存危机。 分析：本句是主系表结构。主语是“It”，系动词是“is”，介词短语“in danger”作表语。“because of...”是复合介词引导的原因状语，后面跟四个并列的名词短语：“land-use changes”、“habitat loss”、“predators”和“climate change”，共同说明面临危险的原因。 【重难词汇梳理】 ① northern adj. 北部的 ② countryside n. 乡间；农村 ③ beak n. 鸟喙 ④ tip n. 尖端 ⑤ tail n. 尾巴 ⑥ real adj. 真正的 ⑦ wore v. 穿着 (wear的过去式) ⑧ handmade adj. 手工制作的 ⑨ costume n. 道具服；服装 ⑩ Eurasian curlew n. 欧亚勺嘴鹬 ⑪ making v. 制作 (make的动名词/现在分词) ⑫ started v. 开始 (start的过去式) ⑬ miles n. 英里 (mile的复数) ⑭ next adj. 接下来的 ⑮ hole n. 孔；洞 ⑯ easy adj. 容易的 ⑰ pointed v. 对准 (point的过去式) ⑱ direction n. 方向 ⑲ idea n. 主意；想法 ⑳ because conj. 因为 实战演练 Passage1 Activity Description Action Steps Reduce Minimize the use of single-use products and energy consumption 1.

Passage 2 When it comes to managing waste in a way that’s good for the environment, there’s a special order we should follow. It’s like a ladder with three important steps, and each step helps us protect the planet. Let’s climb up together! The first and most important step is to reduce the amount of waste we create. It’s like being a superhero who stops waste before it even starts! Before you buy something new, think carefully: “Do I really need this thing?” Maybe you can borrow it from a friend, find it used, or choose something that can be used again and again. Every time you say “no” to something you don’t really need, you’re helping the earth. The second step is all about getting creative with what we already have. Imagine you have a glass jar that’s just sitting in your cupboard. Instead of letting it collect dust, why not use it to store things? Old clothes can become handy cleaning rags or stylish tote bags. By reusing things, we keep them out of the trash and even save money! The third step is recycling, which is still very important. But remember, it’s not the only thing we should do. First, find out what your local recycling program will take. Then, make sure you put your recyclables in the right bins. If they’re mixed up with the wrong things, they might end up in the trash anyway. So, let’s keep recycling going! 1．What is the first step in managing waste according to the passage? A．Recycling.
