(2025青岛即墨二模改编)①The worlds highest ski place, Chacaltaya, was closed after the 18,000-year-old glacier melted in 2009. Many scientists agree that the glaciers around the world could disappear in this century, much faster than we thought.
②As we all know, the reason for this is global warming. When certain gas such as carbon dioxide (CO2) is largely emitted(排放) into the atmosphere, it causes the greenhouse effect(效应) which makes the earth warmer.
③As the earth becomes warmer, glaciers melt quickly, and dark rocks are uncovered. Then these rocks take in more heat, causing the temperature to rise. As a result, the remaining snow on glaciers melts faster.
④The effects of global warming will be far-reaching and often devastating(毁灭性的). While the melting of glaciers may flood some areas of the earth, in other places, it is making water disappear. An increasing number of heat waves and droughts(干旱) worldwide will also change the face of the world in the future.
⑤Global warming is a real problem, and one largely caused by human activity. Solving the problem is not easy, and there is no single magic way. However, we can begin it by lowering the amount of CO2 in our daily lives.
⑥Peter Miller, along with his wife, took part in a scientific test to see how much CO2 they could cut down in a month. The average US household produces about 80 kilos of CO2 a day, which is more than twice the European average and almost five times the global average. Their final goal was to make less CO2 than most American families.
⑦First, they found out how much CO2 they were producing. Then they asked an expert for advice on how to reduce CO2 emissions. According to the experts advice, they made some changes to their house, replaced their lights and changed some of their living habits. At the same time, they biked, walked or used public transportation. A month later, they saved 70% on electricity, 40% on gas and drove half as much as others. Their daily CO2 emissions were less than the US average, at 32 kilos.
⑧Protecting our planet starts with small actions: change a light, open a window, walk or bike. With a little effort, and not much money, most of us can make a difference.

二、阅读还原
(2025济南历下一模改编)After a 10-year project to count tuna(金枪鱼) and other large fish in the worlds oceans, scientists have made a very surprising discovery: these fish are almost gone. Because of too much fishing, almost 90 percent of the worldwide population of large fish—the ones we usually eat—has disappeared. 1. That will influence every animal in the ocean.
The need for fish is growing. Almost a billion people around the world get their protein(蛋白质) mostly from fish. 2. But what seems like a healthy choice for humans is causing a disaster(灾难) to our oceans. “People are consuming(消费) too much,” says Lance Morgan, a scientist at the Marine Conservation Biology Institute.
3. When fish like tuna disappear from the ecosystem, the oceans food chain breaks down. Animals such as sharks, which normally eat tuna, may die because they find no food.
The news may be scary, but taking action from now on can prevent harm that hasnt happened yet. 4. The Monterey Bay Aquarium gives seafood choices to anyone hoping to keep healthy without destroying the environment.
“If you care about wildlife, first spend time and think about your own values and beliefs,” says Morgan. “5. ”
A.World organizations are ordering countries to stop fishing too much.
B.There will be more seafood on our dinner tables.
C.Then decide what youre going to eat.
D.A dish of tuna in restaurants costs more than just one animals life.
E.If we dont act, these animals will totally disappear.
F.Doctors praise seafood for being low in fat.
三、完形填空
(2025潍坊高密二模)Its commonly known that greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2) cause global warming. The whole world has made great 1 to improve the situation. Among the efforts, the trees planted in China are playing an important role.
A report published in Nature shows that CO2 absorption(吸收) in 2 new forest areas in China is more than we thought. The two areas lie in Chinas southwestern and northeastern provinces. They 3 over 35 percent of Chinas carbon sinks(碳汇). They are natural systems which absorb and store CO2 from the air. The 4 natural carbon sinks are trees and other plants.
China is one of the worlds biggest countries of human-produced CO2. 5 our country has been working on reducing its climate influence. For example, in 1978, China began a national-level forestation project. Many trees have been planted in the areas of northern China to 6 as windbreaks. In 2019, Alipays Ant Forest program planted 122 million trees and won the UN Champions of the Earth Award 7 helping 500 million people live low-carbon lives.
Chinas goal is to reach carbon neutrality(碳中和) by 2060. 8 refers to removing as much CO2 as one puts into the air. 9 Chinas goal is achieved, it will lower global warming by around 0.2℃ to 0.3℃ alone.
Carbon neutrality is a goal 10 is hard to achieve. But with the shared responsibilities and efforts, surprising results are expected.
1.A.decisions B.surveys C.conditions D.efforts
2.A.one B.two C.three D.four
