The problem is that there’s a lot of misinformation about bioplastics — and unfortunately, bioplastics aren’t the perfect solution to the problem of plastic people think they are. “Anytime you add the term ‘bio’ or ‘plant-based’ to a product name or description, people automatically think that makes them good for the planet,” environment expert and consultant Shannon Kenny said. “But unless you have proper equipment to process and recycle these bioplastics, they can be just as harmful to the planet as traditional plastics.” In order for bioplastic items to break down, they need the perfect storm of gases, heat and airflow that is only provided by specific equipment. And since most of us probably don’t have the commercial equipment, we may not know what to do with the products. Since they look like plastic, people often think they can be recycled, which isn’t true. According to Kenny, “Consumers often put bioplastics into recycling bins, but it messes the whole process up. When bioplastics enter the plastic recycling stream, they’re difficult to identify and separate from the other plastics, which damages the entire recycling process and creates low-grade recycled plastic.” So if plastic isn’t great, but bioplastics aren’t either, what should we use? The most sustainable solution in both the short term and the long run, though, is to avoid single-use items. The best choice is to bring your own cup to the coffee shop and your own cutlery to the office to eat your salad or out to dinner at your favorite fast-casual restaurant. And educate others — friends, family, and even your local coffee shop or restaurant owners — that these bioplastics aren’t as “green” as they may appear. 1. Which of the following does Shannon Kenny probably agree? A. Bioplastics are no better than common plastics. B. Bioplastics cost customers less to use. C. Bioplastics increase the cost of production. D. Bioplastics are environment-friendly. 2. What is the challenge about bioplastics? A. Consumers can’t tell them from other plastics. B. They can’t be broken down completely. C. Consumers prefer to use traditional plastics. D. They are not dealt with properly. 3. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. Adding some background information. B. Summarizing the previous paragraphs. C. Providing some advice for the readers. D. Introducing a new topic for discussion. 4. What’s the text mainly about? A. Why are bioplastics harmful? B. Are bioplastics better for the planet? C. Can bioplastics be widely used? D. How are biolastics made pollution-free? 一、阅读理解 A Tom Sawyer Play Is an Adventure A 35-minute hand-clapping, foot-stomping musical version of a Mark Twain favorite returns with this Tall Stacks festival. “Tom Sawyer: A River Adventure” has all the good stuff, including the fence painting, the graveyard, the island and the cave. It is adapted by Joe McDonough, with music by David Kisor. That’s the local stage writing team that creates many of the Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati’s original musicals, along with the holiday family musicals at Ensemble Theatre. This year Nathan Turner of Burlington is Tom Sawyer, and Robbie McMath of Fort Mitchell is Huck Finn. Turner, a 10th-grader at School for Creative and Performing Arts, is a familiar presence on Cincinnati’s stages. He is a star actor of Children’s Theatre, having played leading roles in “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” and “The Wizard of Oz.” and is fresh from Jersey Production “Ragtime.” McMath is a junior at Beechwood High School. He was in the cast of “Tom Sawyer” when it was first performed and is a Children’s Theatre regular, with five shows to his credit. This summer he attended Kentucky’s Governor’s School for the Arts in Musical Theatre. Note to teachers: Children’s Theatre has a study guide demonstrating how math and science can be taught through “Tom Sawyer.” For downloadable lessons, visit the official website of Children’s Theatre. 1. Who wrote the music for “Tom Sawyer: A River Adventure”? A. David Kisor. B. Joe McDonough. C. Nathan Turner. D. Robbie McMath. 2. What can we learn about the two actors? A. They study in the same school. B. They worked together in “Ragtime”. C. They are experienced on stage. D. They became friends ten years ago. 3. What does Children’s Theatre provide for teachers? A. Research funding. B. Training opportunities. C. Technical support. D. Educational resources. B When was the last time you used a telephone box? I mean to make an actual phone call—not to shelter from the rain. Ages ago, right? The last time I used a phone box for its intended purpose was ... 2006. I was conducting auditions (试演) for my play in my tiny old shared house in London. Hoping to impress some talented actors to come and work for me for nothing, I spread some throws over the sofas and lit candles to make it seem a bit more “young professional”. As I rushed outdoors to empty the wastepaper baskets, the door swung shut behind me. Suddenly I was locked outside. My mobile phone was inside, but luckily there was a telephone box across the street. So, I called Directory Assistance, got put through to our landlady’s managing agent, and had a spare key sent to me with just enough time to get bad in before the actors arrived. As it has been many years since I last used one, I should hardly be surprised that there are no longer any public telephones near my house. The last one standing has just been turned into a “mini community library”: any passer-by can “borrow” a book from its shelves, and return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection. For a few months after the “library” opened, I didn’t bother taking a look, as I had assumed that it would be stuffed full of cheesy love stories. Then I noticed folk conducting spring cleans dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable price-point encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would never normally consider buying. And I’ve discovered some great books! If I ever get trapped outside my house again, my local telephone box will, sadly, no longer be able to connect me with my keys. But it can certainly keep me entertained while I wait for my wife to rescue me. 4. What does the word “it” underlined in the first paragraph refer to? A. The play. B. The shared house. C. The sofa. D. The telephone box. 5. Why did the author use the telephone box in 2006? A. To place an urgent call. B. To put up a notice. C. To shelter from the rain. D. To hold an audition. 6. What do we know about the “mini community library”? A. It provides phone service for free. B. Anyone can contribute to its collection. C. It is popular among young readers. D. Books must be returned within a month. 7. Why did the author start to use the “library”? A. He wanted to borrow some love stories. B. He was encouraged by a close neighbour. C. He found there were excellent free books. D. He thought it was an ideal place for reading. C On September 7, 1991, the costliest hailstorm (雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary’ southern suburbs. As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east-central Alberta — downwind of the hail project flights — worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding. Norman Stienwand, who farms in that area, has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years. “Basically, the provincial government is Jetting the insurance, companies protect the Calgary-Edmonton urban area from hail,” Mr. Stienwand says, “but they’re increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.” The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weather Modification Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be causing drought.” Dr. Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.” One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes (龙卷风) form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas,” Dr. Doswell says. “Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind? No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.” Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “it would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies, Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety. 8. What does the project aim to do? A. Conserve moisture in the soil. B. Prevent the formation of hailstones. C. Forecast disastrous hailstorms. D. Investigate chemical use in farming. 9. Who are opposed to the project? A. Farmers in east-central Alberta. B. Managers of insurance companies. C. Provincial government officials. D. Residents of Calgary and Edmonton, 10. Why does Dr. Doswell mention the tornadoes he saw in 1999? A. To compare different kinds of seeding methods. B. To illustrate the development of big hailstorms. C. To indicate a possible danger of cloud seeding. D. To show the link between storms and moisture. 11. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Scientific studies have proved Stienwand right. B. Private climate engineering is illegal in Canada. C. The doubt about cloud seeding has disappeared. D. Cloud-seeding companies will continue to exist. 3、 思维提升-观点分享 According to the passage in the Using Language,share y our own ideas about the following questions: 1.What were some of the negative effects on the Li River as a result of the growth in tourism? 2.What measures have been taken to improve the Li River's water quality? 三、思维提升-书面表达 假设你是李华，你的外国笔友Peter对中国治理空气污染的措施很感兴趣，请你结合课文中关于英国雾霾治理与中国环保行动的内容，给他写一封100词左右回信，介绍： 1. 中英两国曾经面临的雾霾问题及成因； 2. 两国为改善空气质量采取的关键措施； 3. 你对未来空气质量改善的看法。 1 / 7 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 人教版必修第三册Unit 3 Environmental Protection Using Language（导学案） 1.掌握Unit 1 Listening and speaking-Reading and Thinking部分的重点单词、短语和句型； √单词：smog,originate,volume,garbage,enterprise,restore,conservation,dozen,regulation,disposal,inspection, Fine,campaign, waterway,tolerate,agenda. √短语：1.domestic and foreign visitors 2.waste water treatment facilities 3. vehicle restriction 4.dozens of   5. garbage disposal √句型：①.With these measures, it is believed that the beauty of the Li River will be preserved for generations to come. ②.These chemicals led to severe water quality issues, causing a decrease in the number of fish species. 2.思维能力提升目标 ①探究式学习：通过阅读、听力、小组讨论等活动，自主探究漓江水污染、伦敦烟雾事件的成因与治理逻辑，掌握“发现问题—分析原因—寻找对策”的探究方法。 ②批判性思考：在对比不同治理方案、反思发展与环保的关系中，学会辩证评价政策有效性，质疑单一手段的局限性，形成多元协同解决问题的思路。 ③可视化梳理：通过绘制思维导图、完成段落摘要等方式，将零散信息结构化，提升逻辑梳理与可视化表达能力。 1、 基础词汇记忆 1.________ /smɒg/ n. 烟雾（烟与雾混合的空气污染物） 2.______  /əˈrɪdʒɪneɪt/ vi. & vt. 起源；发源；创立 3.__________ /ˈvɒlju:m/ n. 量；体积；（成套书籍中的）一卷 4.________/ˈga:bɪdʒ/ n. 垃圾；废物 5.________/ˈentəpraɪz/ n. 公司；企业；事业 6.__________ /rɪˈstɔ:(r)/ vt. 恢复；使复原；修复 7. _________ /ˌkɒnsəˈveɪʃn/ n.（对环境、文物等）保护；保持 8. __________ /ˈdʌzn/ n.（一）打；十二个 9.__________ /ˌregjuˈleɪʃn/ n. 章程；规章制度 10. __________ /dɪˈspəʊzl/ n. 去掉；清除；处理 11.___________/ɪnˈspekʃn/ n. 检查；查看；视察 12. ________ /faɪn/ vt. 对……处以罚款 13. ______________ /kæmˈpeɪn/ n. 运动；战役 vi. & vt. 参加运动；领导运动 14._________ /ˈwɔ:təweɪ/ n. 水道；航道15.________ /ˈtɒləreɪt/ vt. 忍受；包容；容许 16. _________ /əˈdʒendə/ n. 议程表；议事日程 【答案】 1.smog 2.originate 3.volume 4. garbage 5. enterprise 6.restore 7.conservation 8.dozen 9. regulation 10.disposal 11. inspection 12.fine 13.campaign 14.. waterway 15. tolerate 16.agenda 二、词块记忆 1.__________ 国内外游客 2._________污水处理设施 3._______________车辆限行 4.____________ 许多，很多 5. ________垃圾处理 【答案】 1.domestic and foreign visitors 2.waste water treatment facilities 3. vehicle restriction 4.dozens of   5. garbage disposal 【知识梳理1】originate /əˈrɪdʒɪneɪt/ v. 起源；发源；创立 【常用搭配】 originate in/from/with… 起源于……；来自…… originate sth (from sth) （从某物）创造/发明某物 originate in a place 起源于某地 originate from an idea 源于一个想法 origin n.起源；起因 original adj.最初的；原来的 originally adv.原来；起初 【即学即练】 1. The tradition of dragon boat festivals originates _______ ancient China. 2.This is an__________(origin) painting ,not a copy. 3. 这个故事源于他的真实经历。 _______________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 1.  in 2.original 3.The story originates from his real experiences 【知识梳理2】restore /rɪˈstɔ：(r)/ v. 恢复；修复；归还 【常用搭配】 restore sth to sth 把某物恢复到……状态 restore order/peace/confidence 恢复秩序/和平/信心 restore a building/ painting 修复建筑/画作 restore sb to health 使某人恢复健康 restore sth to its owner 把某物归还给原主 restoration n.恢复；修复；复原 restorative adj.整形的 【即学即练】 1.We must work to restore the river ______ its clarity. 2警察把丢失的钱包归还给了失主。（用restore...to...翻译） _______________________________________________________________________________________ 3.The ________(restore) of the old castle took five years. 4.Fresh air and exercise have a _________（restore）effect. 【答案】 1.to 2.The police restored the lost wallet to its owner. 3.restoration 4.restorative 【知识梳理3】tolerate /ˈtɒləreɪt/ v. 忍受；容忍；容许 【常用搭配】 tolerate sb/sth 忍受某人/某事 tolerate (doing) sth 容忍（做）某事 cannot tolerate sth 无法忍受某事 tolerate no delay 不容许拖延 be tolerant of/towards sb/sth 对某人/某事宽容（形容词形式） tolerant adj.宽容的；容忍的 tolerance n.宽恕；忍耐 【即学即练】 1.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了生物塑料是否真的对环境有益，指出其并非完美的解决方案，并提出了更可持续的选择。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中““Anytime you add the term ‘bio’ or ‘plant-based’ to a product name or description, people automatically think that makes them good for the planet,” environment expert and consultant Shannon Kenny said. “But unless you have proper equipment to process and recycle these bioplastics, they can be just as harmful to the planet as traditional plastics.”(“无论何时你在产品名称或描述中添加‘生物’或‘植物基’这样的术语，人们都会自动认为这对地球有益，”环境专家兼顾问Shannon Kenny说。“但除非你有适当的设备来处理和回收这些生物塑料，否则它们对地球的危害可能与传统塑料一样大。”)”可知，Shannon Kenny认为除非有适当的设备来处理和回收这些生物塑料，否则它们对地球的危害可能与传统塑料一样大，即生物塑料并不比普通塑料好。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In order for bioplastic items to break down, they need the perfect storm of gases, heat and airflow that is only provided by specific equipment. And since most of us probably don’t have the commercial equipment, we may not know what to do with the products.(为了使生物塑料制品分解，它们需要特定设备提供的气体、热量和气流的完美结合。由于我们大多数人可能没有商业设备，我们可能不知道如何处理这些产品。)”可知，生物塑料面临的挑战是它们没有得到适当的处理。故选D。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The most sustainable solution in both the short term and the long run, though, is to avoid single-use items. The best choice is to bring your own cup to the coffee shop and your own cutlery to the office to eat your salad or out to dinner at your favorite fast-casual restaurant. And educate others — friends, family, and even your local coffee shop or restaurant owners — that these bioplastics aren’t as “green” as they may appear.(然而，从短期和长期来看，最可持续的解决方案是避免使用一次性物品。最好的选择是带上你自己的杯子去咖啡店，带上你自己的餐具去办公室吃沙拉，或者去你最喜欢的休闲快餐店吃饭。并教育其他人——朋友、家人，甚至你当地的咖啡店或餐馆老板——这些生物塑料并不像它们看起来那么“绿色”。)”可知，最后一段的目的是为读者提供一些建议。故选C。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“The problem is that there’s a lot of misinformation about bioplastics — and unfortunately, bioplastics aren’t the perfect solution to the problem of plastic people think they are.(问题是，关于生物塑料有很多错误信息，不幸的是，生物塑料并不是人们认为的解决塑料问题的完美方案。)”以及最后一段中“And educate others — friends, family, and even your local coffee shop or restaurant owners — that these bioplastics aren’t as “green” as they may appear.(并教育其他人——朋友、家人，甚至你当地的咖啡店或餐馆老板——这些生物塑料并不像它们看起来那么“绿色”。)”可知，文章主要讨论了生物塑料是否真的对环境有益，指出其并非完美的解决方案，并提出了更可持续的选择。“Are bioplastics better for the planet?(生物塑料对地球真的更好吗？)”符合题意。故选B。 一、阅读理解 A Tom Sawyer Play Is an Adventure A 35-minute hand-clapping, foot-stomping musical version of a Mark Twain favorite returns with this Tall Stacks festival. “Tom Sawyer: A River Adventure” has all the good stuff, including the fence painting, the graveyard, the island and the cave. It is adapted by Joe McDonough, with music by David Kisor. That’s the local stage writing team that creates many of the Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati’s original musicals, along with the holiday family musicals at Ensemble Theatre. This year Nathan Turner of Burlington is Tom Sawyer, and Robbie McMath of Fort Mitchell is Huck Finn. Turner, a 10th-grader at School for Creative and Performing Arts, is a familiar presence on Cincinnati’s stages. He is a star actor of Children’s Theatre, having played leading roles in “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” and “The Wizard of Oz.” and is fresh from Jersey Production “Ragtime.” McMath is a junior at Beechwood High School. He was in the cast of “Tom Sawyer” when it was first performed and is a Children’s Theatre regular, with five shows to his credit. This summer he attended Kentucky’s Governor’s School for the Arts in Musical Theatre. Note to teachers: Children’s Theatre has a study guide demonstrating how math and science can be taught through “Tom Sawyer.” For downloadable lessons, visit the official website of Children’s Theatre. 1.

I mean to make an actual phone call—not to shelter from the rain. Ages ago, right? The last time I used a phone box for its intended purpose was ... 2006. I was conducting auditions (试演) for my play in my tiny old shared house in London. Hoping to impress some talented actors to come and work for me for nothing, I spread some throws over the sofas and lit candles to make it seem a bit more “young professional”. As I rushed outdoors to empty the wastepaper baskets, the door swung shut behind me. Suddenly I was locked outside. My mobile phone was inside, but luckily there was a telephone box across the street. So, I called Directory Assistance, got put through to our landlady’s managing agent, and had a spare key sent to me with just enough time to get bad in before the actors arrived. As it has been many years since I last used one, I should hardly be surprised that there are no longer any public telephones near my house. The last one standing has just been turned into a “mini community library”: any passer-by can “borrow” a book from its shelves, and return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection. For a few months after the “library” opened, I didn’t bother taking a look, as I had assumed that it would be stuffed full of cheesy love stories. Then I noticed folk conducting spring cleans dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable price-point encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would never normally consider buying. And I’ve discovered some great books! If I ever get trapped outside my house again, my local telephone box will, sadly, no longer be able to connect me with my keys. But it can certainly keep me entertained while I wait for my wife to rescue me. 4. What does the word “it” underlined in the first paragraph refer to? A. The play. B. The shared house. C. The sofa.

Books must be returned within a month. 7. Why did the author start to use the “library”? A. He wanted to borrow some love stories. B. He was encouraged by a close neighbour. C. He found there were excellent free books. D. He thought it was an ideal place for reading. C On September 7, 1991, the costliest hailstorm (雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary’ southern suburbs. As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east-central Alberta — downwind of the hail project flights — worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding. Norman Stienwand, who farms in that area, has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years. “Basically, the provincial government is Jetting the insurance, companies protect the Calgary-Edmonton urban area from hail,” Mr. Stienwand says, “but they’re increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.” The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weather Modification Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be causing drought.” Dr. Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.” One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes (龙卷风) form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas,” Dr. Doswell says. “Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind? No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.” Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “it would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies, Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety. 8. What does the project aim to do? A. Conserve moisture in the soil. B. Prevent the formation of hailstones. C. Forecast disastrous hailstorms. D. Investigate chemical use in farming. 9. Who are opposed to the project? A. Farmers in east-central Alberta. B. Managers of insurance companies. C. Provincial government officials. D. Residents of Calgary and Edmonton, 10. Why does Dr. Doswell mention the tornadoes he saw in 1999? A. To compare different kinds of seeding methods. B. To illustrate the development of big hailstorms. C. To indicate a possible danger of cloud seeding. D. To show the link between storms and moisture. 11. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Scientific studies have proved Stienwand right. B. Private climate engineering is illegal in Canada. C. The doubt about cloud seeding has disappeared. D. Cloud-seeding companies will continue to exist. 【答案】1-3 ACD 【解析】1.A 事实细节题 根据题干中的 music定位到第二段第二句，由"...with music by David Kisor."可知，该戏剧由 David Kisor作曲。 2.C推理判断题 根据第四段第一句"Turner, a 10th-grader at School for Creative and Performing Arts, is a familiar presence on Cincinnati's stages."和第五段第二句"He was in the cast of "Tom Sawyer" when ... with five shows to his credit."可知，这两位演员舞台经验丰富。 3.D 推理判断题 根据题干中的teachers定位到最后一段，由"Note to teachers: Children's Theatre has a study guide demonstrating how math and science can be taught ..."和"For downloadable lessons …"可知，儿童剧院为老师提供的"学习指南"和"可下载的课程"均属于教育资源。 【答案】4-7BABC 【解析】4.B指代关系题 根据第一段最后两句可知，作者为了组织剧本试演，特意布置了房间，以使房子看起来更像一个"年轻专业人士"的生活空间，所以 it 指代的是作者的合租房。 5.A推理判断题 根据第二段可知，作者被锁在了门外，手机在房间里，需要联系房东的房产管理代理人来获取备用钥匙，所以作者2006年使用电话亭是为了拨打紧急电话。 6.B事实细节题 根据第三段最后一句"...any passer-by can "borrow" a book from its shelves, and return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection."可知，任何人都可以为"迷你社区图书馆"捐赠书籍。 7.C事实细节题 根据第四段第三句"And these books were free."和第五句"And I've discovered some great books!"可知，作者发现"迷你社区图书馆"里有很多优秀的免费书籍，所以开始使用。选项 C 中的 excellent和文章中的great是同义替换。 【答案】8-11 BACD 【解析】8.B事实细节题 根据第一段第三句"Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones."可知，该计划的执行方式是飞机在暴风云中播撒特定的化学物质，促使云层中的小冰晶变成雨水降落，从而在它们发展成为具有破坏力的冰雹之前将其化解。这说明计划的目的是防止冰雹的形成。 9.A 事实细节题 根据第一段最后一句"But farmers in east-central Alberta...worry that precious moisture is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding."和第二段整段可知，位于防雹工程飞行作业下风区的阿尔伯塔省中东部的农民们对该计划表示担忧，认为此举会增加该地区干旱的风险，因此反对这个计划。 10.C推理判断题 根据第四段第一句"Onedoubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswel ..."可知，查克·多斯威尔也是对人工增雨作业的安全性持怀疑态度的一员，而1999年他目睹的由投放了人工增雨物质的暴风云形成巨大龙卷风的案例，正是暗示了人工增雨的一个潜在危险。 11.D 推理判断题 根据最后一段可知，由于缺乏科学依据来证明人工增雨的害处，所以目前没有人能在法庭上赢得针对人工增雨公司的诉讼，这使得私人气候工程可以在相对合法的环境下进行。由此推断人工增雨公司将会继续存在。 3、 思维提升-观点分享 According to the passage in the Using Language,share y our own ideas about the following questions: 1.What were some of the negative effects on the Li River as a result of the growth in tourism? 2.What measures have been taken to improve the Li River's water quality? 【答案】 1.①An increasing number of tourists threw garbage into the river;②Many tour boats' on-board kitchens discharged oil into the water, worsening pollution;③The rising local population and industrial enterprises led to more household and commercial waste ending up in the river;④More chemicals used for crop production flowed into the river, causing severe water quality issues and a decrease in fish species. 2.-①Waste water treatment facilities were constructed to improve water quality and conservation;②The collection and transport of household waste was optimized;③Dozens of polluting enterprises were closed or moved, and strict regulations on industrial development were set up;④New rules regarding tour boat routes and garbage disposal methods were introduced;⑤Local authorities used media to spread environmental awareness and encourage clean energy use, carried out regular inspections, and fined tourist organizations for abuses. 三、思维提升-书面表达 假设你是李华，你的外国笔友Peter对中国治理空气污染的措施很感兴趣，请你结合课文中关于英国雾霾治理与中国环保行动的内容，给他写一封100词左右回信，介绍： 1. 中英两国曾经面临的雾霾问题及成因； 2. 两国为改善空气质量采取的关键措施； 3. 你对未来空气质量改善的看法。 【参考范文】 Dear Peter, I’m glad to hear that you’re interested in how China and Britain have fought against air pollution. Let me share some details with you. As we know, smog was once a severe problem in 20th-century Britain. At that time, Britain was experiencing a boom in industrial development. Factories and homes burnt large amounts of fossil fuels like coal, which released heavy smoke and led to terrible smog. In China, smog has also been a concern in recent years, mainly caused by vehicle exhaust, industrial emissions and coal burning. To deal with it, the two countries have carried out many effective actions More trees are being planted to absorb pollutants. Clean energy like electric power is being promoted, and strict inspections are carried out to fine polluting enterprises. I believe that with continuous efforts from both governments and citizens, the air quality will keep improving. We can look forward to a clearer sky in the future.
