On March 22, 2025, from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM, millions turned off their lights to show they cared about the Earth. This year’s Earth Hour, with the theme (主题) “Create the Biggest Hour for Earth”, was even more important because it shared the same day as World Water Day. However, it’s not enough to have such an hour every year. What matters is how we can be kinder to the earth every day. Planet-friendly food You might not realize it, but the meat industry has a huge influence on forests around the world. Large numbers of trees are cut down to make space for soy (大豆) and other plants that are used to feed animals. Have a chat with your parents about going meat-free, even for a few days every week. Also, foods like vegetables, fruit and nuts are helping the planet. Go green and save money, too Electricity (电) produced by burning fuels like oil, coal and gas causes global warming and pollution. Ask your parents how they heat your home and suggest using green energy like wind or solar power (太阳能). Another tip is to remember to turn off the electricity whenever you leave a room. Cutting down on screen time is actually good for both your health and the earth. Waste Less, Help more Waste is a big problem! We’ve talked about saving electricity. What about food waste? Every year, 1.3 billion kilograms of food is wasted around the world. That’s one-third of the total amount, which can feed up to 1.26 billion people. Try to talk to your parents about buying a proper amount of food. More importantly, find some ways online for leftover food at home. 1．Which is the poster of this year’s Earth Hour? A．B． C． D． 2．Why is this year’s Earth Hour more important than usual? A．A great number of people in the world turned off lights. B．The theme is “Create the Biggest Hour for Earth”.

D．Harry: My parents always buy a lot more food than we need. 4．Why did the writer write the passage? A．To introduce fun facts about Earth Hour. B．To tell us how to help the earth every day. C．To give us advice about saving electricity. D．To compare Earth Day with Earth Hour. Passage2 Hua Weiguang is a teacher from Tongliao, Inner Mongolia. He loves to take photos. He likes taking photos of tree planters in his hometown. His photos show the hard work they do. In Hua’s hometown, there is sand everywhere. The sand can go with the wind to many places in China. This is why the tree planters do their best to plant trees there. From Hua’s photos, we can see the tree planters’ life. Hats, scarves and glasses are the only things to help them in the wind and sand. In hot summer, the tree planters have no place to stay. They have to sleep on the floor or sit behind their cars to cool off. There’s sand everywhere. They have to eat their food with sand in it. “You don’t fool (愚弄) the tree; it doesn’t fool you. You work hard to make it live; the tree lives well and gives you a good life,” Hua says. Tree after tree, planters are building a Green Great Wall. Little by little, the yellow sandy land (沙地) is becoming the green land. Thanks to Hua’s photos, we know what a great thing the tree planters are doing. 1．What does Hua Weiguang like? A．Planting trees. B．Taking photos. C．Traveling around. 2．How is the life of tree planters according to Hua’s photos? A．Easy. B．Comfortable. C．Difficult. 3．Which of the following is wrong? A．Tree planters plant many trees near the Great Wall. B．People take care of trees, trees grow well in sandy land. C．Tree planters are doing a great thing for our country. 4．What’s the best title for the passage?

To stop the Earth from becoming a giant rubbish bin, we can use the “three Rs”: reduce, reuse and recycle. First, we can 2 what we buy. If we only buy what we need, we won’t make rubbish from things we don’t need. Second, we can 3 old things. For example, we can wash empty glass jars to store food, and use old 4 to keep pens and pencils. Third, we can 5 waste. Plastic and glass take hundreds or even millions of years to break down. So we should take plastic, glass and metal items to the 6 bin, not the rubbish bin. Recycling paper saves 7 and uses less energy than making paper from trees. In the end, reducing, reusing and recycling are all 8 ways to cut down waste. By taking 9 , we can make the world a 10 place to live. 1．A．creates B．finds C．loses D．hides 2．A．increase B．reduce C．keep D．change 3．A．throw B．forget C．reuse D．lose 4．A．bags B．tins C．boxes D．cups 5．A．recycle B．burn C．bury D．waste 6．A．rubbish B．dust C．recycling D．food 7．A．flowers B．trees C．grass D．animals 8．A．useless B．important C．expensive D．easy 9．A．action B．time C．money D．care 10．A．dirtier B．smaller C．better D．larger Passage2 Global warming has become a serious 1 . Many countries used too much coal and oil, which polluted the Earth. To solve this, China started using clean energy to 2 coal and oil, with the goal of carbon neutrality by 2060. China is a leading country in solar energy. It produces one-third of the world’s solar energy and has the 3 place in the Tengger Desert. Its technology can 4 solar energy even on cloudy days! China also produces more 5 energy than any other country. The coast, mountains and flat land are perfect for this. In 2021, China built more wind power equipment than all other countries 6 ! China sets a great 7 to the world in low-carbon technology. Its clean energy development makes a positive 8 to the global transition to cleaner energy. Many people thought it was 9 , but China keeps surprising the world. We should learn from China and live a 10 life. 1．A．story B．problem C．plan D．job 2．A．replace B．keep C．use D．sell 3．A．smallest B．largest C．oldest D．youngest 4．A．collect B．sell C．waste D．save 5．A．solar B．coal C．wind D．oil 6．A．together B．alone C．quickly D．slowly 7．A．rule B．example C．law D．way 8．A．mistake B．effort C．contribution D．promise 9．A．possible B．impossible C．easy D．difficult 10．A．high-carbon B．low-carbon C．happy D．hard Passage3 Glaciers (冰川) hold about 70% of the Earth’s fresh water. They are large pieces of closely packed ice and snow. Glaciers only form in very cold places. Every year, new snow falls on top of the old snow. The layers (层) of snow press down on each other, and then the snow crystals (晶体) start to change. They get smaller, and air pockets are pushed out of the snow. This allows the crystals to grow longer. Over time, the snow layer at the bottom of all the other snow layers becomes ice. The whole process of making a glacier takes about 100 years. Some ice is packed so closely that it looks blue. The snow on top of a glacier looks white because it reflects all of the light. But the ice layers of the glacier do not have many air pockets. They absorb different parts of light and reflect blue light. Some of the glaciers on the Earth may be very old. Scientists think that a few glaciers have ice that is about 8 million years old. Not all of the glaciers are so old, though. A number of glaciers in Alaska (阿拉斯加) are only about 100 years old. There are different kinds of glaciers. An ice stream is a kind of glacier that forms on another glacier, and it looks like a frozen river. Rock glaciers are made when ice, rock, and other objects get mixed together. 1．The underlined word “absorb” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”. A．cut down B．take in C．make up 2．Why does the writer talk about Alaska’s glaciers? A．Because some of the glaciers are not very old. B．Because they are the oldest glaciers on the Earth. C．Because the weather in Alaska is very cold. 3．How does the writer support his idea in the last paragraph? A．By asking questions. B．By showing numbers. C．By giving examples. 4．What is the purpose of this passage? A．To make an introduction about glaciers. B．To describe different kinds of fresh water. C．To point out the importance of glaciers. Passage4 More and more schools in China are starting to do garbage sorting (垃圾分类), and No.2 Middle School in Nantong is one of them. Since September 2024, the school has carried out a garbage sorting activity to teach students about environmental protection and sustainable development (可持续发展). The school has put different colored garbage bins in every classroom and on the playground. Green bins are for kitchen waste, blue for recyclable waste, red for harmful waste, and grey for other waste. The teachers teach students how to sort different kinds of garbage and why it’s important. For example, recyclable waste like paper and plastic can be made into new things, and harmful waste like batteries can pollute the earth if not sorted properly. To make the activity more interesting, the school holds a garbage sorting competition every month. Students need to sort different kinds of garbage quickly and correctly. The winning class gets a small prize, like a green plant or a book about the environment. Many students said the competition makes them remember the sorting rules better. So far, the school’s garbage sorting activity has been very successful. The amount of recyclable waste has increased by 40%, and the amount of harmful waste has been sorted correctly by over 90%. The headmaster said, “Garbage sorting is a small thing, but it’s a big step for environmental protection. We hope our students can form a good habit of sorting garbage and take the habit home to their families. In this way, more people can join in the environmental protection work.” 1．What color of garbage bin is for recyclable waste in No.2 Middle School? A．Green. B．Blue. C．Red. D．Grey. 2．What does the school do to make the garbage sorting activity more interesting? A．It puts garbage bins in every classroom. B．It teaches students the sorting rules. C．It gives students a lot of money as a prize. D．It holds a garbage sorting competition every month. 3．How much has the amount of recyclable waste increased in the school? A．By 30%. B．By 40%. C．By 90%. D．By 100%. 4．What does the headmaster hope the students can do? A．To only sort garbage at school. B．To forget the garbage sorting rules after the activity. C．To form a garbage sorting habit and take it home. D．To take part in more competitions and win prizes. Passage5 Bill only thought about himself. He did not care about the Earth. Every morning, he kept the water running when brushing his teeth. When he went to the park, he sometimes stepped on the grass. He even threw rubbish everywhere. One hot summer night, Bill fell into a deep sleep and had a strange dream. In his dream, he saw a man. The man looked exactly like him, but he was very thin and sick. He kept coughing. “Come with me,” he said to Bill in a weak voice. The thin man took Bill to a park. There was rubbish everywhere and the air was full of smoke. The trees were either dead or dying. Bill could not stop coughing. “This dirty air makes people cough all the time. It’s making our lives terrible,” the man said sadly. Then the thin man took Bill to the beach. There were plastic bags and empty cans everywhere. They were like strange mountains. The seawater was dirty and full of thick oil. “All the fish are dead. Most of the birds are dead too,” said the man. “If people keep on polluting the water like this, all the sea animals will die.” After that, the thin man took Bill to the centre of the city. “There’s too much traffic. The traffic produces a lot of fumes. They smell terrible and give people a headache. People should take buses or subways to make the air cleaner,” the man said. Bill was surprised by what he saw. “What can I do?” he asked the man. “You can stop causing so much pollution,” said the man. “And you can tell other people to stop too. The pollution has made everyone very thin and weak. If people keep on causing pollution, we’ll all be in great danger soon.” Just then, Bill woke up. “What a terrible dream!” he thought to himself. 1．What was Bill like at first? A．He didn’t brush his teeth. B．He didn’t get close to nature. C．He didn’t want to help others. D．He didn’t care about the environment. 2．Which picture does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 9 describe? A．B． C． D． 3．What was probably the role of the thin man in the dream? A．A close friend of Bill’s. B．A scientist studying pollution. C．A stranger who wanted to help Bill. D．A future warning of Bill’s bad habits. 4．What might Bill decide to do after waking up? A．Forget the dream and do nothing. B．Keep throwing rubbish everywhere. C．Record the dream and tell it to others. D．Protect the Earth and encourage others. Passage6 In China, many young people are starting to collect things that others throw away. From bubble tea cups to train tickets, they are keeping these small  items  as  treasures.    This  habit  is sometimes called “grandma-core” because it reminds them of how their grandparents used to save everything for future use. Many young people once wondered why their parents and grandparents kept so many things. But now, they find themselves doing the same. A common saying among them is: “First, we question our mums. Then, we understand our mums. Finally, we become our mums.” Luo Jiayi, a 20-year-old college student, is a perfect example. He loves milk tea and has collected many takeout bags from his favourite drinks. Some bags are reused as gift wrap, while others become craft projects or even trash bags.“Many students do this,” he said.“Special bags with movie or game designs are especially popular at school.” However, keeping these items can be a problem, especially in small dorm rooms. Still,young people find creative ways to reuse them. On social media, they proudly post how they turn “trash” into useful items. For example: A takeout bag becomes a pencil case. A coffee cup sleeve becomes a book cover. Thermal food packaging is reused as a lunch bag. Shoe boxes are not thrown away but are reused as storage boxes. Another student, 19-year-old Lu Yunli,collects pretty packaging because she loves beautiful things. “Bringing a nice bag to class with my lunch makes me happy,” she said. “These designs are getting more and more attractive.” For young people, saving isn’t about being cheap— it’s about being ▲ . They spend money on things they love but avoid waste. By reusing and recycling, young people are creating a lifestyle that is both practical and creative. 1．What can we know from the underlined sentence in Para.2? A．Young people often disagree with their parents. B．Chinese people always keep the same habits. C．Mothers order their children to collect things. D．Young people accept the wisdom behind the habits. 2．According to the passage, which of these ways of reusing items is mentioned? A．Turning a thermal food bag into a pencil case. B．Using a coffee cup sleeve as a book cover. C．Making shoe boxes into gift wrap. D．Reusing a takeout bag as a wallet. 3．Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ”? A．proud B．honest C．kind D．smart 4．How does the writer organize the article? A．By comparing past and present habits. B．By describing different age groups’ opinions. C．By listing problems first and then giving advice. D．By showing examples first and then explaining reasons. Passage7 You might not think much about where your garbage goes. But now you might want to know. On 1 July, Shanghai introduced a garbage-sorting policy (垃圾分类政策). People there should put different kinds of garbage into different bins. Other cities in China will do the same soon. Garbage sorting is a big problem because there is too much garbage these days. It is bad for our environment. In fact, we can make use of some garbage again. But first, we need to sort it. For example, if you put an old battery (电池) into the “harmful waste” bin, people can use it to make new batteries. But if you don’t, the battery will end up somewhere else. Then, it will pollute the environment.     Garbage sorting and recycling around the world      Germany: There are big machines in supermarkets. You can put bottles in the machines and get money back.      Japan: A truck playing music comes to people’s doors to pick up their garbage. There are eight or more kinds of garbage. If you sort any of them incorrectly, you will get a notice on your door.      Indonesia: People can take buses for free if they give plastic bottles. An hour-long bus ride costs three large bottles.      Four kinds of garbage in Shanghai     Recyclable garbage includes paper, books, plastic items, and glass bottles. Harmful garbage includes lamps, batteries, and other things with harmful chemicals (化学品). Wet garbage usually comes from the kitchen, such as fruit and vegetables. Dry garbage is anything you cannot put into the other three bins, pens and towels, for example. 1．What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A．Many countries take Shanghai’s garbage-sorting policy. B．Many cities in China had garbage-sorting policies before Shanghai. C．Shanghai is the first city in China to make a garbage-sorting policy. D．China is the first country in the world to make a garbage-sorting policy. 2．The writer gives the “battery” example to tell us ________ . A．how to sort our garbage B．how important garbage sorting is C．how harmful waste is D．how difficult garbage sorting is 3．Which bin should old newspapers go to? A．Recyclable waste B．Dry waste C．Wet waste D．Harmful waste 4．Which is the best title for the passage? A．Different Countries, Different Policies B．Less Garbage, Cleaner Environment C．Clean Shanghai, Beautiful China D．Sort Garbage, Save the Earth Passage8 Trends (潮流) come and go. Many goods that people buy to keep pace with fashion end up in the rubbish bin. Now, young Chinese people are giving these things a second life. Called “stoopers”, they pick up idle goods and reuse them. They are mainly in big cities like Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou. Chen Jiaorong, 27, is one of them. She started stooping in June 2022 when she found that many people were letting go of things which we hardly used. After that, she often “hunted treasures” in her free time. Now, her small apartment holds things redesigned from the idle goods she collected, including tables, chairs and clothing. “Some say stooping means collecting rubbish,” Chen said. “But for me, it is about making the best use of things.” That’s why she wants to introduce the trend to others. Sometimes Chen also puts stickers on idle goods that she doesn’t need and posts pictures of them online for others to find. With a hobby of keeping things since childhood, Huang Xiaohe, from Xishan High School of Kunming No.1 High School, also loves stooping. Though the 13-year-old has few chances to go stooping in her city, Huang often looks for idle goods around school. Then, she cleans and redesigns them, turning them into fun things at home. “I believe that any waste can be turned into treasures,” said Huang. She also added that stooping is an action to fight against overbuying. 1．What does the underlined word “idle” mean? A．Not in good shape. B．Not in use. C．Not working hard. D．Not of great value. 2．What can we know about stoopers? A．They are mainly in villages. B．They always keep up with fashion. C．They can’t afford expensive goods. D．They try to protect the environment. 3．Which of the following questions isn’t answered in Paragraph 2? A．What does Chen think of stooping? B．What has Chen collected? C．Why did Chen start stooping? D．When did Chen start stooping? 4．According to the passage, which one of the following is a real stooper? A．Bruce often collects useless things for sale in his free time. B．Smith always tells his students to protect the environment. C．Mina uses old clothes people no longer wear to make bags. D．Sandy often donates money and food to help those in need. Passage9 People are more and more worried about the environment. Many people now prefer products and companies that care about the earth and cause less pollution. This need for green products has led companies to change their business. Before, customers used cheap plastic bags, and then threw them away. But now most supermarkets and stores usually provide reusable shopping bags for them. This causes less waste. They also offer more local products, because less energy is needed for carrying them from one place to another. To help lower air pollution, big car factories are looking for other ways to control the amount of oil. Cars that use much less oil are very popular. Many companies are also developing fully electric cars. They produce no air pollution at all. Both kinds of cars have another advantage: They are cheaper to run and people don’t need to worry about oil prices. The airline companies face an even greater green challenge. Airplanes use much more oil than cars. So many airlines are now developing planes that can run on some other kinds of oil. They create less pollution and cost less. The companies are also developing a new kind of plane, and some of them use only solar panels (太阳能板) to fly! Green businesses used to be popular with only a small group of people. But now, more and more companies have to show they care about the environment. Many products are marked “green” in order to look nice. However, people still have to be careful when choosing green products. It’s important to make sure the products are as good as the businessmen say. 1．What does the word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Local products. B．Green products. C．Cheap plastic bags. D．Reusable shopping bags. 2．The last sentence of the passage is written to _________. A．show the green products are healthy B．encourage people to buy green products C．tell people to choose green products carefully D．explain the importance of the environment 3．Which is the right structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 4．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Green Is Cheaper B．Green Saves the Earth C．Green Is Good Business D．Green Makes Life Easier Passage10 When plastic was first made around 1870, people thought it was amazing and called it an “environmental hero”! It was light, long-lasting and cheap. It quickly replaced (取代) wood and other natural materials. Not surprisingly, plastic has now filled our lives, too. We can find it in bags, toothbrushes, mobile phones, houses... It certainly has thousands of uses. But slowly and silently, plastic has shown its dark side. Plastic waste has become a danger to sea animals. Some animals like whales eat it by mistake and die. The “hero” of the past now kills over 100,000 sea animals each year. By 2050, there could be even more plastic in the sea than fish. Plastic also causes problems on land. Birds’ wings get tied in plastic lines. Bears’ heads get stuck in plastic bins. Even humans are eating plastic waste! On average, we eat five grams of plastic a week. That’s a whole bank card! Tiny pieces of plastic are found in the air. There is even plastic “snow” at the South and North Poles ( 南北极). Nowhere is safe from plastic. Moreover, getting free of plastic waste isn’t easy. It may take thousands of years to break down. So hiding the waste in the ground doesn’t help. Burning it also produces thick smoke and causes air pollution. Plastic is not just causing an environmental problem. It means life and death for humans and for the future of the Earth. Everyone knows there is only one Earth. So let’s live without plastic! 1．What did people think of plastic when it first appeared? A．It was a great material. B．It was bad for the environment. C．It was too heavy to use. D．It could be used for a short time. 2．What is the main idea of paragraphs 2—3? A．Sea animals can’t avoid eating plastic. B．There will be less plastic in the sea. C．Bears often look for food in plastic bins. D．Plastic waste harms the environment. 3．Why is it hard to get free of plastic waste? A．It takes a long time to break down. B．Hiding the waste needs much space. C．It costs the government too much money. D．Burning plastic causes water pollution. 4．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To introduce different uses of plastic. B．To ask people to stop using plastic. C．To explain why we need another Earth. D．To show plastic makes our life easier. Passage11 As space science develops, man has learned more and more about space. Space is not only amazing but also dangerous. While working in space, spacemen are facing danger as well as success. Scientists have found out that the radiation (辐射) is the greatest danger to spacemen in space. When spacemen are working in space, they are in danger of the radiation from the sun and other stars, which is bad for their health. The harm of the radiation won’t be found until their kids even grandkids are born. Some special medicine may work a little, but no really useful medicine has been found so far. Space rubbish is also thought to be a great danger to spacemen. It’s reported that there were 9,000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are satellites (卫星), 10% are spaceships, and the rest are space rubbish. An explosion (爆炸) in space in 1999 made a cloud of 300,000 space junk pieces, each at least 4 mm in size. A small piece of these even knocked a spaceship window and caused some problems. Scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time. They are working to deal with space rubbish. Although space is really dangerous, it interests many people on the earth. We may even choose to leave the earth and live in space in a few years. However, to make this possible, we must take steps to improve the space environment and make sure it is safe for people to research and live in. 1．What can you infer (推断) from Paragraph 2? A．The radiation is dangerous to spaceships. B．The radiation is mostly from space rubbish. C．The danger of the radiation may last for years. D．The medicine for radiation will appear soon. 2．What causes the danger to spacemen? ①radiation ②space rubbish ③satellites ④explosion A．①② B．①③ C．②④ D．③④ 3．According to the report, how many man-made things are space rubbish? A．900. B．2700. C．5400. D．9000. 4．What is the main idea of this passage? A．Scientists’ work on cleaning the space. B．The information of the danger in space. C．The reports from spacemen. D．People’s interest in space. Passage12 The world is full of interesting places, and Baiyangdian is one of them. Baiyangdian is a big wetland (湿地) in Hebei. It has small lakes and grows into a large water-land place. Everything here is alive and growing. There are many plants in Baiyangdian. Tall reeds (芦苇) wave in the wind. They are like big grasses. These reeds give homes to small animals. Water lilies float on the water. Their flowers open to get sunlight. They are like little plates on the water. Lots of animals live in Baiyangdian. Fishes swim in the water, just like birds fly in the sky. There are big fish and small fish. Ducks swim around to find food. They are like small boats on the water. Birds such as herons and egrets live near the water. They need Baiyangdian for food and a home. The water in Baiyangdian is very important. It’s like the life-giver here. It helps plants and animals live. When it rains, there’s more water, and everything grows better. When it’s dry, the water still keeps things alive. We people also have a link with Baiyangdian. We can visit it and enjoy nature. We should protect it, so it can stay a great place full of life. 1．What does the author compare the reeds in Baiyangdian to? A．Small boats on the water.

On March 22, 2025, from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM, millions turned off their lights to show they cared about the Earth. This year’s Earth Hour, with the theme (主题) “Create the Biggest Hour for Earth”, was even more important because it shared the same day as World Water Day. However, it’s not enough to have such an hour every year. What matters is how we can be kinder to the earth every day. Planet-friendly food You might not realize it, but the meat industry has a huge influence on forests around the world. Large numbers of trees are cut down to make space for soy (大豆) and other plants that are used to feed animals. Have a chat with your parents about going meat-free, even for a few days every week. Also, foods like vegetables, fruit and nuts are helping the planet. Go green and save money, too Electricity (电) produced by burning fuels like oil, coal and gas causes global warming and pollution. Ask your parents how they heat your home and suggest using green energy like wind or solar power (太阳能). Another tip is to remember to turn off the electricity whenever you leave a room. Cutting down on screen time is actually good for both your health and the earth. Waste Less, Help more Waste is a big problem! We’ve talked about saving electricity. What about food waste? Every year, 1.3 billion kilograms of food is wasted around the world. That’s one-third of the total amount, which can feed up to 1.26 billion people. Try to talk to your parents about buying a proper amount of food. More importantly, find some ways online for leftover food at home. 1．Which is the poster of this year’s Earth Hour? A．B． C． D． 2．Why is this year’s Earth Hour more important than usual? A．A great number of people in the world turned off lights. B．The theme is “Create the Biggest Hour for Earth”. C．It was on the same day as World Water Day. D．More people decide to be kinder to the earth. 3．Which of the following activities helps the earth? A．John: I plan to eat more beef because it is good for my health. B．Mary: I often forget to turn off lights when I leave the rooms. C．Kate: We heat our homes by using the solar power in winter. D．Harry: My parents always buy a lot more food than we need. 4．Why did the writer write the passage? A．To introduce fun facts about Earth Hour. B．To tell us how to help the earth every day.

He loves to take photos. He likes taking photos of tree planters in his hometown. His photos show the hard work they do. In Hua’s hometown, there is sand everywhere. The sand can go with the wind to many places in China. This is why the tree planters do their best to plant trees there. From Hua’s photos, we can see the tree planters’ life. Hats, scarves and glasses are the only things to help them in the wind and sand. In hot summer, the tree planters have no place to stay. They have to sleep on the floor or sit behind their cars to cool off. There’s sand everywhere. They have to eat their food with sand in it. “You don’t fool (愚弄) the tree; it doesn’t fool you. You work hard to make it live; the tree lives well and gives you a good life,” Hua says. Tree after tree, planters are building a Green Great Wall.

They have to eat their food with sand in it.”可知，从Hua的照片中能看出植树人的生活很艰难。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“Tree after tree, planters are building a Green Great Wall.”可知，植树人是在建造“绿色长城”，而非在长城附近种很多树，A选项错误。故选A。 4．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章围绕Hua Weiguang拍摄的关于植树人的照片展开，介绍了照片中植树人的工作和生活等内容。故选C。 实战演练 Passage1 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 People today buy more than ever before, which 1 a lot of rubbish. To stop the Earth from becoming a giant rubbish bin, we can use the “three Rs”: reduce, reuse and recycle. First, we can 2 what we buy. If we only buy what we need, we won’t make rubbish from things we don’t need. Second, we can 3 old things. For example, we can wash empty glass jars to store food, and use old 4 to keep pens and pencils. Third, we can 5 waste. Plastic and glass take hundreds or even millions of years to break down. So we should take plastic, glass and metal items to the 6 bin, not the rubbish bin. Recycling paper saves 7 and uses less energy than making paper from trees. In the end, reducing, reusing and recycling are all 8 ways to cut down waste. By taking 9 , we can make the world a 10 place to live. 1．A．creates B．finds C．loses D．hides 2．A．increase B．reduce C．keep D．change 3．A．throw B．forget C．reuse D．lose 4．A．bags B．tins C．boxes D．cups 5．A．recycle B．burn C．bury D．waste 6．A．rubbish B．dust C．recycling D．food 7．A．flowers B．trees C．grass D．animals 8．A．useless B．important C．expensive D．easy 9．A．action B．time C．money D．care 10．A．dirtier B．smaller C．better D．larger 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．C 5．A 6．C 7．B 8．B 9．A 10．C 【导语】本文介绍了为减少垃圾、保护地球可践行的“三R原则”：减少购买、重复利用、回收利用，阐述其具体做法和重要意义。 1．句意：如今人们的购买量比以往任何时候都多，这产生了大量垃圾。 “buy more than ever before”提示购买增多会带来垃圾的产生，create“创造；产生”，符合逻辑。 2．句意：首先，我们可以减少购买的东西。 “If we only buy what we need”表明我们可以减少购买量，reduce“减少”，契合只买必需品的语境。 3．句意：其次，我们可以重复利用旧东西。 后文举例“For example, we can wash empty glass jars to store food”说明对旧物品的再次使用，reuse“重复利用”，符合举例体现的旧物利用逻辑。 4．句意：例如，我们可以洗净空玻璃罐来储存食物，用旧盒子来放钢笔和铅笔。 “keep pens and pencils”表明容纳笔类的旧物品应是盒子，box“盒子”符合语境。 5．句意：第三，我们可以回收利用废弃物。 “Recycling paper saves...”表明强调废物再利用，recycle“回收利用”，与后文的回收做法相呼应。 6．句意：所以我们应该把塑料、玻璃和金属制品放进回收箱，而不是垃圾桶。 “Recycling paper saves...”表明强调废物再利用，废物应放入回收箱，recycling bin“回收箱”，符合回收的语境。 7．句意：回收纸张比用树木造纸节省树木，还消耗更少的能源。 “making paper from trees”表明传统造纸的原料是树木，回收纸则能节省树木，tree“树木”，符合语境。 8．句意：最后，减少购买、重复利用和回收利用都是减少垃圾的重要方法。 根据全文对“三R原则”的介绍及环保意义的阐述，可知这些方法对减少垃圾至关重要。important“重要的”，契合三R原则的环保价值。 9．句意：通过采取行动，我们可以让这个世界成为一个更适宜居住的地方。 根据前文介绍的三R原则的具体做法，因此，需将这些方法落实为实际行动。action“行动”，take action“采取行动”，符合践行环保方法的要求。 10．句意：通过采取行动，我们可以让这个世界成为一个更适宜居住的地方。 根据全文践行三R原则能减少垃圾、保护地球的内容，因此这些做法会让世界变得更好。better“更好的”，符合环保行动带来的积极结果。 Passage2 Global warming has become a serious 1 . Many countries used too much coal and oil, which polluted the Earth. To solve this, China started using clean energy to 2 coal and oil, with the goal of carbon neutrality by 2060. China is a leading country in solar energy. It produces one-third of the world’s solar energy and has the 3 place in the Tengger Desert. Its technology can 4 solar energy even on cloudy days! China also produces more 5 energy than any other country. The coast, mountains and flat land are perfect for this. In 2021, China built more wind power equipment than all other countries 6 ! China sets a great 7 to the world in low-carbon technology. Its clean energy development makes a positive 8 to the global transition to cleaner energy. Many people thought it was 9 , but China keeps surprising the world. We should learn from China and live a 10 life. 1．A．story B．problem C．plan D．job 2．A．replace B．keep C．use D．sell 3．A．smallest B．largest C．oldest D．youngest 4．A．collect B．sell C．waste D．save 5．A．solar B．coal C．wind D．oil 6．A．together B．alone C．quickly D．slowly 7．A．rule B．example C．law D．way 8．A．mistake B．effort C．contribution D．promise 9．A．possible B．impossible C．easy D．difficult 10．A．high-carbon B．low-carbon C．happy D．hard 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．A 5．C 6．A 7．B 8．C 9．B 10．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国为应对全球变暖问题，积极发展清洁能源，在太阳能、风能等领域成果显著，为全球低碳转型树立榜样，值得世界学习。 1．句意：全球变暖已经成为一个严重的问题。 全球变暖是需要解决的严峻问题，problem“问题”符合语境。story“故事”、plan“计划”、job“工作”均不符合文意。 2．句意：为了解决这个问题，中国开始使用清洁能源来替代煤炭和石油，目标是到2060年实现碳中和。 根据空格前“China started using clean energy to”可知，清洁能源的作用是替代污染严重的化石能源，replace“替代”符合逻辑。keep“保持”、use“使用”、sell“售卖”均不符合“解决污染”的目的。 3．句意：中国生产了世界三分之一的太阳能，并在腾格里沙漠拥有最大的太阳能电站。 根据前句“China is a leading country in solar energy.”可知，中国在太阳能领域处于领先地位，largest“最大的”符合“领先”的描述。smallest“最小的”、oldest“最老的”、youngest“最年轻的”均不符合语境。 4．句意：它的技术甚至在阴天也能收集太阳能！ 太阳能技术的核心是收集太阳能，collect“收集”符合逻辑。sell“售卖”、waste“浪费”、save“节省”均不符合技术功能。 5．中国也比任何其他国家生产更多的风能。 后文提到“wind power equipment”，说明此处指风能，wind“风”符合语境。solar“太阳能”、coal“煤”、oil“石油”均与后文不符。 6．句意：2021 年，中国建造的风力发电设备比所有其他国家加起来还要多！ all other countries together表示“所有其他国家总和”，together“一起”符合数量对比逻辑。alone“独自”、quickly“快速地”、slowly“缓慢地”均不符合语境。 7．句意：中国在低碳技术方面为世界树立了一个很好的榜样。 根据上文可知，中国积极发展清洁能源，在太阳能、风能等领域成果显著，因此此处是指“树立好榜样”，example“榜样”符合语境。rule“规则”、law“法律”、way“方式”均与上文不符。 8．句意：它的清洁能源发展为全球向更清洁能源转型做出了积极贡献。 根据上文可知，中国积极发展清洁能源，在太阳能、风能等领域成果显著，因此此处是指“做出积极贡献”，contribution“贡献”符合语境。mistake“错误”、effort“努力”、promise“承诺”均与上文不符。 9．句意：很多人认为这是不可能的，但中国不断给世界带来惊喜。 后文“but”表转折，说明之前人们认为做不到，impossible“不可能的”符合逻辑。possible“可能的”、easy“容易的”、difficult“困难的”均不符合转折语境。 10．句意：我们应该向中国学习，过低碳生活。 全文围绕低碳、清洁能源展开，low-carbon“低碳的”符合主题。high-carbon“高碳的”、happy“快乐的”、hard“艰难的”均不符合环保主题。 Passage3 Glaciers (冰川) hold about 70% of the Earth’s fresh water. They are large pieces of closely packed ice and snow. Glaciers only form in very cold places. Every year, new snow falls on top of the old snow. The layers (层) of snow press down on each other, and then the snow crystals (晶体) start to change. They get smaller, and air pockets are pushed out of the snow. This allows the crystals to grow longer. Over time, the snow layer at the bottom of all the other snow layers becomes ice. The whole process of making a glacier takes about 100 years. Some ice is packed so closely that it looks blue. The snow on top of a glacier looks white because it reflects all of the light. But the ice layers of the glacier do not have many air pockets. They absorb different parts of light and reflect blue light. Some of the glaciers on the Earth may be very old. Scientists think that a few glaciers have ice that is about 8 million years old. Not all of the glaciers are so old, though. A number of glaciers in Alaska (阿拉斯加) are only about 100 years old. There are different kinds of glaciers. An ice stream is a kind of glacier that forms on another glacier, and it looks like a frozen river. Rock glaciers are made when ice, rock, and other objects get mixed together. 1．The underlined word “absorb” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”. A．cut down B．take in C．make up 2．Why does the writer talk about Alaska’s glaciers? A．Because some of the glaciers are not very old. B．Because they are the oldest glaciers on the Earth. C．Because the weather in Alaska is very cold. 3．How does the writer support his idea in the last paragraph? A．By asking questions. B．By showing numbers. C．By giving examples. 4．What is the purpose of this passage? A．To make an introduction about glaciers. B．To describe different kinds of fresh water. C．To point out the importance of glaciers. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了冰川的形成过程、颜色成因、年龄差异以及不同类型。 1．根据第二段内容，冰川顶部的雪反射所有光线所以呈白色，而冰川冰层几乎没有气泡，会 “吸收” 光线的不同部分、只反射蓝光，因此画线词absorb的意思是 “吸收”，与take in的意思相近。 2．根据第三段中“Scientists think that a few glaciers have ice that is about 8 million years old. Not all of the glaciers are so old, though. A number of glaciers in Alaska (阿拉斯加) are only about 100 years old.”，作者先说明地球上有些冰川非常古老（约 800 万年），接着用转折，举例阿拉斯加的冰川只有约 100 年历史，是为了说明 “并非所有冰川都很古老”。 3．根据最后一段中“There are different kinds of glaciers.”，作者随后列举了ice stream（冰流）和rock glaciers（岩石冰川）两种冰川作为例子，因此是通过举例子支撑观点。 4．通读全文可知，文章从冰川的淡水占比、形成过程、外观、年龄、类型等多个方面，全面介绍了冰川的相关知识。 Passage4 More and more schools in China are starting to do garbage sorting (垃圾分类), and No.2 Middle School in Nantong is one of them. Since September 2024, the school has carried out a garbage sorting activity to teach students about environmental protection and sustainable development (可持续发展). The school has put different colored garbage bins in every classroom and on the playground. Green bins are for kitchen waste, blue for recyclable waste, red for harmful waste, and grey for other waste. The teachers teach students how to sort different kinds of garbage and why it’s important. For example, recyclable waste like paper and plastic can be made into new things, and harmful waste like batteries can pollute the earth if not sorted properly. To make the activity more interesting, the school holds a garbage sorting competition every month. Students need to sort different kinds of garbage quickly and correctly. The winning class gets a small prize, like a green plant or a book about the environment. Many students said the competition makes them remember the sorting rules better. So far, the school’s garbage sorting activity has been very successful. The amount of recyclable waste has increased by 40%, and the amount of harmful waste has been sorted correctly by over 90%. The headmaster said, “Garbage sorting is a small thing, but it’s a big step for environmental protection. We hope our students can form a good habit of sorting garbage and take the habit home to their families. In this way, more people can join in the environmental protection work.” 1．What color of garbage bin is for recyclable waste in No.2 Middle School? A．Green. B．Blue. C．Red. D．Grey. 2．What does the school do to make the garbage sorting activity more interesting? A．It puts garbage bins in every classroom. B．It teaches students the sorting rules. C．It gives students a lot of money as a prize. D．It holds a garbage sorting competition every month. 3．How much has the amount of recyclable waste increased in the school? A．By 30%. B．By 40%. C．By 90%. D．By 100%. 4．What does the headmaster hope the students can do? A．To only sort garbage at school. B．To forget the garbage sorting rules after the activity. C．To form a garbage sorting habit and take it home. D．To take part in more competitions and win prizes. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文讲述了南通第二中学自2024年9月起开展垃圾分类活动，通过设置不同颜色的垃圾桶、教授分类知识、举办月度竞赛等措施，取得了显著成效，旨在培养学生的环保习惯并带动家庭参与。 1．文章第二段指出“blue for recyclable waste”，直接说明了蓝色垃圾桶用于可回收垃圾。 2．文章第三段提及“the school holds a garbage sorting competition every month”，表明学校通过每月举办垃圾分类竞赛来增加活动趣味性。 3．文章第四段明确说明“The amount of recyclable waste has increased by 40%”，直接给出了可回收垃圾增加的比例。 4．文章第四段校长提到“We hope our students can form a good habit of sorting garbage and take the habit home to their families”，表明校长希望学生养成垃圾分类习惯并影响家庭。 Passage5 Bill only thought about himself. He did not care about the Earth. Every morning, he kept the water running when brushing his teeth. When he went to the park, he sometimes stepped on the grass. He even threw rubbish everywhere. One hot summer night, Bill fell into a deep sleep and had a strange dream. In his dream, he saw a man. The man looked exactly like him, but he was very thin and sick. He kept coughing. “Come with me,” he said to Bill in a weak voice. The thin man took Bill to a park. There was rubbish everywhere and the air was full of smoke. The trees were either dead or dying. Bill could not stop coughing. “This dirty air makes people cough all the time. It’s making our lives terrible,” the man said sadly. Then the thin man took Bill to the beach. There were plastic bags and empty cans everywhere. They were like strange mountains. The seawater was dirty and full of thick oil. “All the fish are dead. Most of the birds are dead too,” said the man. “If people keep on polluting the water like this, all the sea animals will die.” After that, the thin man took Bill to the centre of the city. “There’s too much traffic. The traffic produces a lot of fumes. They smell terrible and give people a headache. People should take buses or subways to make the air cleaner,” the man said. Bill was surprised by what he saw. “What can I do?” he asked the man. “You can stop causing so much pollution,” said the man. “And you can tell other people to stop too. The pollution has made everyone very thin and weak. If people keep on causing pollution, we’ll all be in great danger soon.” Just then, Bill woke up. “What a terrible dream!” he thought to himself. 1．What was Bill like at first?

He did not care about the Earth.”，以及他浪费水、踩踏草地、乱扔垃圾的行为，说明他起初不关心环境。 2．第九段划线句“The traffic produces a lot of fumes.”描述的是交通产生的烟雾污染，图片A显示的是汽车尾气排放，符合描述。 3．梦中瘦弱的男人与Bill长得一样，他说“If people keep on causing pollution, we’ll all be in great danger soon.”，这是对Bill不良习惯导致的未来后果的警示。 4．经历了这场噩梦后，Bill意识到环境污染的严重性，最可能决定保护地球并鼓励他人也这样做。 Passage6 In China, many young people are starting to collect things that others throw away. From bubble tea cups to train tickets, they are keeping these small  items  as  treasures.    This  habit  is sometimes called “grandma-core” because it reminds them of how their grandparents used to save everything for future use. Many young people once wondered why their parents and grandparents kept so many things. But now, they find themselves doing the same. A common saying among them is: “First, we question our mums. Then, we understand our mums. Finally, we become our mums.” Luo Jiayi, a 20-year-old college student, is a perfect example. He loves milk tea and has collected many takeout bags from his favourite drinks. Some bags are reused as gift wrap, while others become craft projects or even trash bags.“Many students do this,” he said.“Special bags with movie or game designs are especially popular at school.” However, keeping these items can be a problem, especially in small dorm rooms. Still,young people find creative ways to reuse them. On social media, they proudly post how they turn “trash” into useful items. For example: A takeout bag becomes a pencil case. A coffee cup sleeve becomes a book cover. Thermal food packaging is reused as a lunch bag. Shoe boxes are not thrown away but are reused as storage boxes. Another student, 19-year-old Lu Yunli,collects pretty packaging because she loves beautiful things. “Bringing a nice bag to class with my lunch makes me happy,” she said. “These designs are getting more and more attractive.” For young people, saving isn’t about being cheap— it’s about being ▲ . They spend money on things they love but avoid waste. By reusing and recycling, young people are creating a lifestyle that is both practical and creative. 1．What can we know from the underlined sentence in Para.2? A．Young people often disagree with their parents. B．Chinese people always keep the same habits. C．Mothers order their children to collect things. D．Young people accept the wisdom behind the habits. 2．According to the passage, which of these ways of reusing items is mentioned? A．Turning a thermal food bag into a pencil case. B．Using a coffee cup sleeve as a book cover. C．Making shoe boxes into gift wrap. D．Reusing a takeout bag as a wallet. 3．Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ”? A．proud B．honest C．kind D．smart 4．How does the writer organize the article? A．By comparing past and present habits. B．By describing different age groups’ opinions. C．By listing problems first and then giving advice. D．By showing examples first and then explaining reasons. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文介绍了中国许多年轻人开始收集他人丢弃的物品的现象，这种习惯被称为“奶奶风”，因为这让他们想起祖父母过去保存物品以备后用的习惯。 1．推理判断题。根据“Many young people once wondered why their parents and grandparents kept so many things.

But now you might want to know. On 1 July, Shanghai introduced a garbage-sorting policy (垃圾分类政策). People there should put different kinds of garbage into different bins. Other cities in China will do the same soon. Garbage sorting is a big problem because there is too much garbage these days. It is bad for our environment. In fact, we can make use of some garbage again. But first, we need to sort it. For example, if you put an old battery (电池) into the “harmful waste” bin, people can use it to make new batteries. But if you don’t, the battery will end up somewhere else. Then, it will pollute the environment.     Garbage sorting and recycling around the world      Germany: There are big machines in supermarkets. You can put bottles in the machines and get money back.      Japan: A truck playing music comes to people’s doors to pick up their garbage. There are eight or more kinds of garbage. If you sort any of them incorrectly, you will get a notice on your door.      Indonesia: People can take buses for free if they give plastic bottles. An hour-long bus ride costs three large bottles.      Four kinds of garbage in Shanghai     Recyclable garbage includes paper, books, plastic items, and glass bottles. Harmful garbage includes lamps, batteries, and other things with harmful chemicals (化学品). Wet garbage usually comes from the kitchen, such as fruit and vegetables. Dry garbage is anything you cannot put into the other three bins, pens and towels, for example. 1．What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A．Many countries take Shanghai’s garbage-sorting policy. B．Many cities in China had garbage-sorting policies before Shanghai. C．Shanghai is the first city in China to make a garbage-sorting policy. D．China is the first country in the world to make a garbage-sorting policy. 2．The writer gives the “battery” example to tell us ________ . A．how to sort our garbage B．how important garbage sorting is C．how harmful waste is D．how difficult garbage sorting is 3．Which bin should old newspapers go to? A．Recyclable waste B．Dry waste C．Wet waste D．Harmful waste 4．Which is the best title for the passage? A．Different Countries, Different Policies B．Less Garbage, Cleaner Environment C．Clean Shanghai, Beautiful China D．Sort Garbage, Save the Earth 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了上海实施垃圾分类政策的情况，以及垃圾分类的重要性和具体分类方法，并列举了世界其他国家的垃圾分类做法，旨在说明垃圾分类对环境保护的重要意义。 1．推理判断题。根据“On 1 July, Shanghai introduced a garbage-sorting policy...Other cities in China will do the same soon.”可推知，上海是中国第一个制定垃圾分类政策的城市。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据“Garbage sorting is a big problem because there is too much garbage these days. It is bad for our environment.”和“But if you don’t, the battery will end up somewhere else. Then, it will pollute the environment.”可知，通过电池的例子来说明垃圾分类的重要性。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据“Recyclable garbage includes paper, books, plastic items, and glass bottles.”可知，可回收垃圾包括纸张、书籍、塑料和玻璃瓶。“newspapers”属于纸张，应该放在可回收利用的垃圾箱。故选A。 4．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了垃圾分类的原因，并介绍了世界部分国家和地区的垃圾分类和回收，告诉人们通过垃圾分类，来拯救我们的地球。故选D。 Passage8 Trends (潮流) come and go. Many goods that people buy to keep pace with fashion end up in the rubbish bin. Now, young Chinese people are giving these things a second life. Called “stoopers”, they pick up idle goods and reuse them. They are mainly in big cities like Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou. Chen Jiaorong, 27, is one of them. She started stooping in June 2022 when she found that many people were letting go of things which we hardly used. After that, she often “hunted treasures” in her free time. Now, her small apartment holds things redesigned from the idle goods she collected, including tables, chairs and clothing. “Some say stooping means collecting rubbish,” Chen said. “But for me, it is about making the best use of things.” That’s why she wants to introduce the trend to others. Sometimes Chen also puts stickers on idle goods that she doesn’t need and posts pictures of them online for others to find. With a hobby of keeping things since childhood, Huang Xiaohe, from Xishan High School of Kunming No.1 High School, also loves stooping. Though the 13-year-old has few chances to go stooping in her city, Huang often looks for idle goods around school. Then, she cleans and redesigns them, turning them into fun things at home. “I believe that any waste can be turned into treasures,” said Huang. She also added that stooping is an action to fight against overbuying. 1．What does the underlined word “idle” mean? A．Not in good shape. B．Not in use. C．Not working hard. D．Not of great value. 2．What can we know about stoopers? A．They are mainly in villages. B．They always keep up with fashion. C．They can’t afford expensive goods. D．They try to protect the environment. 3．Which of the following questions isn’t answered in Paragraph 2? A．What does Chen think of stooping? B．What has Chen collected? C．Why did Chen start stooping? D．When did Chen start stooping? 4．According to the passage, which one of the following is a real stooper? A．Bruce often collects useless things for sale in his free time. B．Smith always tells his students to protect the environment. C．Mina uses old clothes people no longer wear to make bags. D．Sandy often donates money and food to help those in need. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了在中国大城市兴起的“stooping”风潮，年轻人通过捡拾、改造和重新利用闲置物品来践行环保、对抗过度消费。 1．词句猜测题。根据“Now, young Chinese people are giving these things a second life. Called ‘stoopers’, they pick up idle goods and reuse them.”可知“idle goods”是被捡来“reuse”（重新利用）的物品，因此“idle”意为“不再被使用的”。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“I believe that any waste can be turned into treasures, said Huang. She also added that stooping is an action to fight against overbuying.”以及全文中“reuse them”“turning them into fun things”等描述，可知stooper们通过重新利用闲置物品来减少浪费，努力保护环境。故选D。 3．细节理解题。What does Chen think of stooping?这个问题的答案，是在第3段才出现的“But for me, it is about making the best use of things.”。所以在第2段里找不到对这个问题的回答。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据“Called ‘stoopers’, they pick up idle goods and reuse them.”stooper的核心特征是“捡拾闲置物品并重新利用”。Mina用人们不再穿的旧衣服制作包包，正是对闲置物品的重新利用，符合stooper的定义。故选C。 Passage9 People are more and more worried about the environment. Many people now prefer products and companies that care about the earth and cause less pollution. This need for green products has led companies to change their business. Before, customers used cheap plastic bags, and then threw them away. But now most supermarkets and stores usually provide reusable shopping bags for them. This causes less waste. They also offer more local products, because less energy is needed for carrying them from one place to another. To help lower air pollution, big car factories are looking for other ways to control the amount of oil. Cars that use much less oil are very popular. Many companies are also developing fully electric cars. They produce no air pollution at all. Both kinds of cars have another advantage: They are cheaper to run and people don’t need to worry about oil prices. The airline companies face an even greater green challenge. Airplanes use much more oil than cars. So many airlines are now developing planes that can run on some other kinds of oil. They create less pollution and cost less. The companies are also developing a new kind of plane, and some of them use only solar panels (太阳能板) to fly! Green businesses used to be popular with only a small group of people. But now, more and more companies have to show they care about the environment. Many products are marked “green” in order to look nice. However, people still have to be careful when choosing green products. It’s important to make sure the products are as good as the businessmen say. 1．What does the word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Local products. B．Green products. C．Cheap plastic bags. D．Reusable shopping bags. 2．The last sentence of the passage is written to _________. A．show the green products are healthy B．encourage people to buy green products C．tell people to choose green products carefully D．explain the importance of the environment 3．Which is the right structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 4．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Green Is Cheaper B．Green Saves the Earth C．Green Is Good Business D．Green Makes Life Easier 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文介绍了在消费者环保意识提升的背景下，各行业为响应绿色需求而调整业务的实践；同时提醒消费者要谨慎选择绿色产品，避免虚假宣传，最终体现了“绿色环保与商业运营深度结合”的趋势。 1．词句猜测题。根据“Before, customers used cheap plastic bags, and then threw them away.”可知，顾客们使用的是廉价的塑料袋，然后就将其丢弃了，划线词指代前文的“cheap plastic bags”。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据“It’s important to make sure the products are as good as the businessmen say.”可知，要确保产品和商家宣传的一样好很重要，目的是提醒人们在选择绿色产品时要谨慎，避免被虚假宣传误导。故选C。 3．篇章结构题。根据文章内容可知，第①段总起：点明“人们对环境的担忧促使企业转向绿色业务”；第②③④段分述：分别介绍超市、汽车厂、航空公司的绿色实践；第⑤段总结：总结绿色业务的现状，并提醒人们谨慎选择绿色产品。故选B。 4．最佳标题题。根据文章内容可知，文章核心是“消费者对绿色产品的需求促使企业调整业务模式，发展绿色业务”，强调绿色环保与商业运营的结合，C项“绿色是好生意”最能概括这一主题。故选C。 Passage10 When plastic was first made around 1870, people thought it was amazing and called it an “environmental hero”! It was light, long-lasting and cheap. It quickly replaced (取代) wood and other natural materials. Not surprisingly, plastic has now filled our lives, too. We can find it in bags, toothbrushes, mobile phones, houses... It certainly has thousands of uses. But slowly and silently, plastic has shown its dark side. Plastic waste has become a danger to sea animals. Some animals like whales eat it by mistake and die. The “hero” of the past now kills over 100,000 sea animals each year. By 2050, there could be even more plastic in the sea than fish. Plastic also causes problems on land. Birds’ wings get tied in plastic lines. Bears’ heads get stuck in plastic bins. Even humans are eating plastic waste! On average, we eat five grams of plastic a week. That’s a whole bank card! Tiny pieces of plastic are found in the air. There is even plastic “snow” at the South and North Poles ( 南北极). Nowhere is safe from plastic. Moreover, getting free of plastic waste isn’t easy. It may take thousands of years to break down. So hiding the waste in the ground doesn’t help. Burning it also produces thick smoke and causes air pollution. Plastic is not just causing an environmental problem. It means life and death for humans and for the future of the Earth. Everyone knows there is only one Earth. So let’s live without plastic! 1．What did people think of plastic when it first appeared? A．It was a great material. B．It was bad for the environment. C．It was too heavy to use. D．It could be used for a short time. 2．What is the main idea of paragraphs 2—3? A．Sea animals can’t avoid eating plastic. B．There will be less plastic in the sea. C．Bears often look for food in plastic bins. D．Plastic waste harms the environment. 3．Why is it hard to get free of plastic waste? A．It takes a long time to break down. B．Hiding the waste needs much space. C．It costs the government too much money. D．Burning plastic causes water pollution. 4．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To introduce different uses of plastic. B．To ask people to stop using plastic. C．To explain why we need another Earth. D．To show plastic makes our life easier. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文先介绍了塑料刚发明时的“环保英雄”形象，随后通过海洋、陆地的生态危害，以及塑料难以降解的特性，揭示了塑料不好的一面，最终呼吁人们停止使用塑料，保护唯一的地球。 1．细节理解题。根据“When plastic was first made around 1870, people thought it was amazing and called it an ‘environmental hero’! It was light, long-lasting and cheap.”可知，塑料刚出现时，人们认为它是“令人惊叹的环保英雄”，兼具轻便、耐用、便宜的优点，是一种很棒的材料。故选A。 2．主旨大意题。根据第二段和第三段内容可知，第二段讲塑料垃圾对海洋动物的危害（每年杀死超10万只海洋动物），第三段讲塑料对陆地动物（鸟类、熊）和人类的危害（人类每周摄入5克塑料、南北极出现塑料“雪”），两段核心是“塑料垃圾危害环境”。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“Moreover, getting free of plastic waste isn’t easy. It may take thousands of years to break down.”可知，塑料需要数千年才能分解，这是难以摆脱塑料垃圾的主要原因。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“So let’s live without plastic!”可知，文章结尾直接呼吁“让我们生活中没有塑料！”，结合全文对塑料危害的阐述，可推断，本文的目的是让人们停止使用塑料，保护地球。故选B。 Passage11 As space science develops, man has learned more and more about space. Space is not only amazing but also dangerous. While working in space, spacemen are facing danger as well as success. Scientists have found out that the radiation (辐射) is the greatest danger to spacemen in space. When spacemen are working in space, they are in danger of the radiation from the sun and other stars, which is bad for their health. The harm of the radiation won’t be found until their kids even grandkids are born. Some special medicine may work a little, but no really useful medicine has been found so far. Space rubbish is also thought to be a great danger to spacemen. It’s reported that there were 9,000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are satellites (卫星), 10% are spaceships, and the rest are space rubbish. An explosion (爆炸) in space in 1999 made a cloud of 300,000 space junk pieces, each at least 4 mm in size. A small piece of these even knocked a spaceship window and caused some problems. Scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time. They are working to deal with space rubbish. Although space is really dangerous, it interests many people on the earth. We may even choose to leave the earth and live in space in a few years. However, to make this possible, we must take steps to improve the space environment and make sure it is safe for people to research and live in. 1．What can you infer (推断) from Paragraph 2? A．The radiation is dangerous to spaceships. B．The radiation is mostly from space rubbish. C．The danger of the radiation may last for years. D．The medicine for radiation will appear soon. 2．What causes the danger to spacemen? ①radiation ②space rubbish ③satellites ④explosion A．①② B．①③ C．②④ D．③④ 3．According to the report, how many man-made things are space rubbish? A．900. B．2700. C．5400. D．9000. 4．What is the main idea of this passage? A．Scientists’ work on cleaning the space. B．The information of the danger in space. C．The reports from spacemen. D．People’s interest in space. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了太空中的辐射和太空垃圾对宇航员的危害，以及科学家为应对这些危险所做的努力。 1．推理判断题。根据“The harm of the radiation won’t be found until their kids even grandkids are born.”可知，辐射的危害可能持续多年，甚至影响到宇航员的子孙后代。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“Scientists have found out that the radiation is the greatest danger to spacemen in space.”和“Space rubbish is also thought to be a great danger to spacemen.”可知，辐射和太空垃圾是对宇航员构成危险的主要因素。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“It’s reported that there were 9,000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are satellites, 10% are spaceships, and the rest are space rubbish.”可知，太空垃圾占所有人造物体的60%，即5400。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据“Space is not only amazing but also dangerous. While working in space, spacemen are facing danger as well as success.”以及全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了太空中的辐射和太空垃圾对宇航员的危害，以及科学家为应对这些危险所做的努力。故选B。 Passage12 The world is full of interesting places, and Baiyangdian is one of them. Baiyangdian is a big wetland (湿地) in Hebei. It has small lakes and grows into a large water-land place. Everything here is alive and growing. There are many plants in Baiyangdian. Tall reeds (芦苇) wave in the wind. They are like big grasses. These reeds give homes to small animals. Water lilies float on the water. Their flowers open to get sunlight. They are like little plates on the water. Lots of animals live in Baiyangdian. Fishes swim in the water, just like birds fly in the sky. There are big fish and small fish. Ducks swim around to find food. They are like small boats on the water. Birds such as herons and egrets live near the water. They need Baiyangdian for food and a home. The water in Baiyangdian is very important. It’s like the life-giver here. It helps plants and animals live. When it rains, there’s more water, and everything grows better. When it’s dry, the water still keeps things alive. We people also have a link with Baiyangdian. We can visit it and enjoy nature. We should protect it, so it can stay a great place full of life. 1．What does the author compare the reeds in Baiyangdian to? A．Small boats on the water. B．Little plates on the water. C．Big grasses. D．Big trees. 2．Which picture may show the scene of Baiyangdian according to the passage? A．B．C． D． 3．What can we probably infer (推断) from the passage? A．There are no birds in Baiyangdian. B．If we don’t protect Baiyangdian, it may not be a good place. C．The water in Baiyangdian is not important. D．People can’t visit Baiyangdian. 4．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? （①=paragraph 1  ②=paragraph 2, …） A．①/②③④ B．①②/③④ C．①②③/④ D．①/②③/④ 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文说明了白洋淀这一河北的大湿地，包括其植物、动物以及水的重要性，并呼吁人们保护白洋淀。 1．细节理解题。根据“Tall reeds (芦苇) wave in the wind. They are like big grasses.”可知，作者将白洋淀的芦苇比作大草。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“There are many plants in Baiyangdian…They are like little plates on the water.”可知，文章描述了白洋淀有高高的芦苇在风中摇曳，水面上漂浮着睡莲，鱼儿在水中游动，鸭子在水上觅食，还有像鹭鸟等鸟类生活在水边。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“We should protect it, so it can stay a great place full of life.”可以推断，如果我们不保护白洋淀，它可能就不会是一个充满生机的好地方。故选B。 4．篇章结构题。文章第一段总体介绍了白洋淀是一个充满生机的大湿地；第二段和第三段分别介绍了白洋淀的植物和动物；第四段强调了白洋淀的水的重要性，并呼吁人们保护它。因此，文章的结构是①/②③/④。故选D。 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 2 / 11 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
