话题3 环境保护
Passage 1
When our school announced a tree-planting project in the desert area, I hesitated. The task seemed too 1 for a group of teenagers. But deep down, I knew this was a chance to prove our 2 could make a real difference.
The first day was 3 . Strong winds blew sand into our eyes, and the temperature 4 sharply at night. By the third day, half of our team wanted to 5 . That evening, our teacher showed us satellite photos of the expanding desert. “Every young tree you plant is a 6 against desertification,” she said quietly.
Her words 7 something in me. The next morning, I volunteered to dig holes in the hardest soil. Slowly, others 8 me. We created an assembly line: some carried water, some planted, and others built protective fences. Our 9 became smoother with each passing day.
Two months later, standing on a small hill, we saw straight rows of young trees 10 in the wind. They covered what was once bare sand like green soldiers. A local farmer approached, tears in his eyes: “You’ve given us 11 that this land can be saved.”
This experience taught me that 12 doesn’t require superpowers. Ordinary people taking 13 action can create extraordinary change. Now when I see classmates wasting paper, I 14 share our desert story. To my delight, many started using 15 notebooks and recycling pens. The fight continues, one small step at a time.

This strong chemical is commonly found in the glue that holds many household products and presses wood furniture together. It has been classified as a carcinogen (致癌物) since 2011 and has been 19 to an increase in asthma and other diseases in children. It has also been 20 as a poisonous chemical in China.
21 , there is another choice: natural glues. In particular, ones made from soy proteins that have been modified to 22 the protein some shellfish use to stick to rocks. A natural glue is now widely used in composite (合成的) wood products in the U.S. Other companies are also developing more natural 23 to dangerous industrial chemicals. This is a part of the Green Chemistry philosophy.
Green Chemistry is a way of rethinking how to develop products and processes that are more environmentally friendly, better for people’s health and yet are economically 24 . That includes reducing processing waste, using renewable materials and lessening the energy required to manufacture products. The Principles of Green Chemistry 25 the goals of this approach to chemical research and the chemical industry. The first is prevention. It is better to prevent waste than to 26 it or clean it up. Another principle encourages less hazardous chemical mixture. Chemical reactions should be designed to be as safe as possible. Energy 27 is encouraged as well as using chemicals made from renewable plant-based sources rather than petrochemical ones. Attention also needs to be paid to monitoring pollution in real time and choosing and developing chemical procedures that are safer and that 28 the risk of accidents.
There are 29 in meeting and holding to the principles of Green Chemistry, but this will stimulate new research and inspire the discovery of new chemistry.

After that, I decided to continue my journey. I had to 25 my bike up due to the tough mountain pass. Then, the girl from the ice-cream shop arrived in a car. She felt sorry for me and 26 her parents to drive me home.
When I shared my story with others, their eyes widened in 27 at first, and then softened with empathy as I recounted the details.

Passage 3
On New Year’s Eve, Eleanor found herself spending the holiday alone for the first time in decades. Her husband had passed away earlier that year. Although she tried to stay 31 , a sense of sadness settled over her.
That afternoon, to cheer herself up, she decided to 32 her holiday cards and drove to a nearby post office to mail them. When she returned to her car, it wouldn’t 33 .
Instead of waiting in the 34 for roadside assistance, Eleanor walked back into the post office and asked if anyone knew how to jump-start a car. One customer 35 said, “I do.” The woman, named Zein, came outside with two friends. They tried several times, but without any 36 . Eleanor told them not to worry and 37 their life. “No, no, no,” Zein replied. “We’ll 38 this.”
Over the next hour, they worked together into the freezing evening until the car finally started. Then Zein, still 39 , insisted on following Eleanor home-just in case the car broke down again.
After arriving at her apartment, Eleanor invited Zein inside to share tea and cookies. They talked and were amazed by how 40 they were, including a love of literature and a connection to the same high school. That evening, Eleanor found 41 not just in the successful rescue, but in a new 42 .
Recalling the crowd of 43 who came to her rescue that day, Eleanor thought of a few lines from a poem, “A deed knocks first at thought, and then at will... it then goes out an act.” “That’s what 44 is about,” she said. “It starts with the heart and the mind, and then becomes 45 .”

Some of the biggest 54 right now for the hundreds of displaced Angelenos, many of whom have lost most of their belongings in the disaster, are socks, underwear and baby formula. But Lauren also thought about children who had lost everything. “Toys and coloring books would be 55 ,” she said.
56 collecting donations, the restaurant is offering free meals to wildfire 57 . “If you need to stay here, 58 a bite to eat, or figure out your next step, you’re more than 59 to just hang out here for a few while,” said Andrew.
Volunteers like Alex Ordorica, a local resident, helped transport supplies. After his second trip to the center, he said, “Every box 60 isn’t just supplies — it’s a reminder that nobody’s alone in this.”

Passage 1
When our school announced a tree-planting project in the desert area, I hesitated. The task seemed too 1 for a group of teenagers. But deep down, I knew this was a chance to prove our 2 could make a real difference.
The first day was 3 . Strong winds blew sand into our eyes, and the temperature 4 sharply at night. By the third day, half of our team wanted to 5 . That evening, our teacher showed us satellite photos of the expanding desert. “Every young tree you plant is a 6 against desertification,” she said quietly.
Her words 7 something in me. The next morning, I volunteered to dig holes in the hardest soil. Slowly, others 8 me. We created an assembly line: some carried water, some planted, and others built protective fences. Our 9 became smoother with each passing day.
Two months later, standing on a small hill, we saw straight rows of young trees 10 in the wind. They covered what was once bare sand like green soldiers. A local farmer approached, tears in his eyes: “You’ve given us 11 that this land can be saved.”
This experience taught me that 12 doesn’t require superpowers. Ordinary people taking 13 action can create extraordinary change. Now when I see classmates wasting paper, I 14 share our desert story. To my delight, many started using 15 notebooks and recycling pens. The fight continues, one small step at a time.

Passage 2
Most people don’t think too much about chemicals around us, but actually they are all around us. Many substances 16 chemicals, including the air that we breathe and the water that we drink. Some chemicals are natural, but most of them are 17 and may be harmful to the human body.
In 2005, Hurricane Katrina struck the United States and destroyed hundreds of thousands of homes, so displaced people had to move into temporary housing. Later, some of them began experiencing headaches and nosebleeds due to formaldehyde (甲醛) 18 .
This strong chemical is commonly found in the glue that holds many household products and presses wood furniture together. It has been classified as a carcinogen (致癌物) since 2011 and has been 19 to an increase in asthma and other diseases in children. It has also been 20 as a poisonous chemical in China.
21 , there is another choice: natural glues. In particular, ones made from soy proteins that have been modified to 22 the protein some shellfish use to stick to rocks. A natural glue is now widely used in composite (合成的) wood products in the U.S. Other companies are also developing more natural 23 to dangerous industrial chemicals. This is a part of the Green Chemistry philosophy.
Green Chemistry is a way of rethinking how to develop products and processes that are more environmentally friendly, better for people’s health and yet are economically 24 . That includes reducing processing waste, using renewable materials and lessening the energy required to manufacture products. The Principles of Green Chemistry 25 the goals of this approach to chemical research and the chemical industry. The first is prevention. It is better to prevent waste than to 26 it or clean it up. Another principle encourages less hazardous chemical mixture. Chemical reactions should be designed to be as safe as possible. Energy 27 is encouraged as well as using chemicals made from renewable plant-based sources rather than petrochemical ones. Attention also needs to be paid to monitoring pollution in real time and choosing and developing chemical procedures that are safer and that 28 the risk of accidents.
There are 29 in meeting and holding to the principles of Green Chemistry, but this will stimulate new research and inspire the discovery of new chemistry. Green Chemistry can decrease pollution and increase the 30 development of the earth, thus improving the quality of life for humans and animals for years to come.

These discoveries made Mysha even more 42 about litter picking. She joined her local litter-picking group and soon was asked to 43 leadership of the group. Despite the big volumes of litter being dropped, Mysha and her fellow litter-pickers 44 to get out and plog.
“The thought of keeping other people’s spirits up and seeing their 45 spread to more people keeps me going. Together, we can achieve amazing things!” Mysha says.

Anna Sacks, known as The Trash Walker, transformed her life from working at a bank to becoming an 46 climate-change activist.
Years ago, Sacks 47 the Adamah program, a Jewish farming program focusing on sustainable living. Inspired by their minimal waste practices, she made up her mind to undertake a 48 to fight against consumer waste in New York.
Sacks began “trash walking”, 49 through garbage for reusable things. Her discoveries were 50 — designer accessories (配饰), unopened food, and even expensive goods like necklaces. She 51 her finds on the Internet, drawing much attention to her eye-opening videos that 52 the great amount of company and consumer waste.
“One man’s trash is another’s treasure, and that couldn’t be more 53 in my case,” Sacks joked, “Like an urban treasure hunter, I’ve found many practical 54 like new wool socks, holiday decorations, and fresh flowers, which I often keep or share with others.”
Sacks’s 55 go beyond personal gain. Her action has 56 companies to change their waste practices. Her video about the destruction of expensive handbags led a famous brand to 57 destroying in-store returns. 58 , her video of CVS’s waste caused the company to reconsider its disposal (清理) policies.
Through her unique 59 , Sacks has inspired people to rethink their consumption habits and take action against waste, which can 60 a more sustainable future.

Passage 5
The first time ever I realized that plastic was a serious matter for our planet was during a road trip in Western Australia, almost 12 years ago.
We 61 at a supermarket along the Coral Bay coast to buy some groceries and the lady at the counter told us they didn’t sell any shopping bags in order to prevent plastic in the 62 and to help preserving the endangered turtles living in that area. After a first reaction of surprise, we 63 all our shopping in our arms and left.
This was just one of the many experiences I’ve lived that made me more 64 about my impact and pushed me to adopt different habits to live and 65 more sustainably.
Our trip to Borneo was another life-changing 66 that has strengthened my resolution to a zero-waste lifestyle. While traveling in some Asian countries, we came to know that 67 drinkable water was always a challenge. So we had to travel with our water bottle, and we 68 to avoid using plastic during our trip.
Besides, we were also 69 impressed by our stay on Libaran Island. A sustainable turtle conservation 70 and the community had made big efforts to 71 the beaches and creatively re-use plastic for ten years. Despite that, the shore is 72 daily with tons of plastic coming from the tides.
Facing this global issue 73 , raised in me a feeling of sadness and anger that soon turned into 74 : to do as much as possible to reduce plastic in our life. Small changes can 75 a difference!
