Climate activists (活动家) need to use both fear and hope to get people to care and take action. Fear can make people feel like they need to do something right away, but hope can make them feel like they can actually make a difference. Activists must carefully find a balance between negative and positive advocacy (倡导). If activists only use fear, it can backfire. People might feel so scared that they just give up instead of trying to help. Psychologists have found different feelings people have when they see scary things about the climate. These include eco-depression (feeling very sad) and eco-anxiety (feeling very worried). Feeling sad can make a person give up and not do anything about the climate, and feeling worried can make a person want to avoid the problem. Both of these feelings can stop people from taking action. Activists often use really shocking pictures to make people take action. These pictures might show sad polar bears, forests that have been cut down, or big fires. But instead of making people want to help, these pictures sometimes make people feel like the problems are far away and not important. This can make them stop caring about the environment. It’s kind of like how eco-anxiety works—people feel so worried that they just avoid thinking about it. Without hope, fear isn’t an effective motivator (激励因素). People need to believe their actions will make a real difference. Positive activism (行动主义) steps in where negative activism ends. It uses hope and excitement to motivate action, focusing on the positive results of taking action, not just the bad results of not acting. A good example is the Irish rock band U2. They are famous for their great music and concerts. In their latest concert “Achtung Baby”, they showed a virtual (虚拟的) world of Earth’s wildlife. At first, they showed animals that were in danger in just one color to show how bad it was when their homes were destroyed. As the concert reached its most exciting part, the colors got brighter and more beautiful, like a big celebration of life. The performance changed from negative to positive, inspiring people to protect Earth’s beauty together. Fear is a powerful emotion. We need fear. But we cannot remain in fear without moving forward. While fear will not disappear, we must focus our thoughts on hope. With hope as our guide, a beautiful goal can encourage us to take every step of progress forward. 1. What does the word “backfire” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Produce a loud noise. B. Move backward quickly. C. Have the opposite effect. D. Start a fire in the backyard. 2. Why does the writer use the example in Paragraph 5? A. To show music is a powerful tool for protecting animals. B. To stress the role of hope and excitement in driving action. C. To prove concerts are effective platforms for environmental education. D. To present the importance of technology in holding successful concerts. 3. Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with? A. Fear alone is not enough to make people take action. B. Sad pictures can make people care about the environment. C. Activists should focus more on the negative sides of problems. D. People will take action if they see beautiful and colorful pictures. 4. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To advise people to avoid fear when solving environmental problems. B. To show people what animals are in danger because of climate change. C. To inspire people to balance fear and hope in dealing with worldwide problems. D. To tell people the seriousness of global problems like climate change and hunger. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A 4. C Passage 2 Last summer, I took part in an unusual summer camp in the countryside. It wasn’t just an ordinary camp—it was a place where technology and nature came together in an amazing way. On the first day, the camp leader introduced us to a new type of solar-powered tent. This tent was equipped with a small solar panel on its roof. During the day, the panel collected sunlight and converted it into electricity. At night, the tent provided enough light for us to read and play games. I was really surprised by how convenient it was. It didn’t require any batteries or connection to the power grid, making it an environmentally friendly choice. One day, we went on a nature walk. Our guide carried a special equipment called an air quality monitor. This small, handheld equipment could detect various pollutants in the air. As we walked through different areas, the monitor showed real-time data on its screen. We were shocked to find that the air quality near a busy road was much worse than that in the forest. This equipment not only made us realize environmental problems but also inspired us to think about ways to protect the environment. Another day, we learned about a new kind of water-purifying bottle. It could turn dirty water from a stream into clean, drinkable water. All the campers got a chance to test it. We filled the bottles with water from a nearby stream. After a few minutes of shaking, the water became clear. We drank the purified water, and it tasted great. This bottle was a real game-changer, especially for people living in areas where clean water was hard to find. At the end of the camp, I realized how much technology could contribute to our lives. These creative technologies not only made our camping experience more comfortable but also helped us understand and protect the environment better. I left the camp with a new appreciation for science and technology. 1. What was special about the solar-powered tent? A. It was made of a special material. B. It could generate electricity from sunlight. C. It was very large and could hold many people. D. It could change colors according to the weather. 2. Which made them realize the importance of environmental protection? A. A small solar panel. B. A water-purifying bottle. C. The air quality monitor. D. Batteries and connection. 3. Which is the correct structure of this text? (①= Paragraph 1) A. B. C. D. 4. What can we learn from the passage? A. Water-purifying bottles are necessary for camping. B. We should use more solar-powered products to save energy. C. Camping in the countryside is more fun with modern technology. D. Technology can make our lives better and help with environmental protection. 5. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage? A. A Memorable Camping Experience B.

It is the result of farmers’ hard work. Mr. Xu Yuanchong’s translation of the poem “Min Nong” makes us understand the importance of food. Now, there is a Food Saving and Anti-Food Waste (反浪费) Action Plan. It makes us notice the serious food waste problem. Around one-third of the world’s food is wasted every year. In China, about 17—18 million tons of food are wasted in restaurants each year. At school, we can often see students throw away a lot of food in the dining hall. They dislike the food or take too much without thinking. But they don’t realize how hard farmers work to grow it. Restaurants are also part of the problem. Some people order too many dishes to show off or don’t know how much to order. So a lot of food is left uneaten. Now, restaurants are asked to offer smaller dishes and remind customers to take leftovers home. We students should start from small things. We can take the right amount of food. When we are in a restaurant with our parents, we can help them order properly. If everyone does this, we can save a lot of food and make the world better. Let’s all take part in the food-saving action. 1.

The idea came to Finkbeiner when he was 9 years old. He had just learned about Wangari Maathai, whose work with an environmental organization helped plant nearly 30 million trees in Africa. Inspired by her work, the boy announced to his fourth grade class that they should plant a million trees in every country. Gradually, his speech took root. Finkbeiner and his classmates planted their first tree at their school, which was reported by the local media, and his idea began to spread to other schools. In addition, Finkbeiner set up Plant-for-the-Planet to encourage the public to join in planting trees. By 2010, the environmental group had planted a million trees in the ground. In 2011, it changed its goal to a trillion (一万亿) trees. Some scientists, however, note that planting trees is not going to solve the climate crisis (危机) on its own. Finkbeiner soon realized that the trillion trees mission (任务) was not just about planting, but also restoring. Now, they have restoration sites (场所) in Spain, Ghana and Ethiopia, but their biggest one is in Mexico. Since the forest restoration project began in 2015, Plant-for-the-Planet has planted nearly 8 million trees in Mexico. “The more people take part in,” Finkbeiner says, “the faster the goal can be met and the greener the earth can get.” 1. When did Finkbeiner get the idea of planting trees? ________________________________ 2. Where did Finkbeiner and his classmates plant their first tree? ________________________________ 3. Why did Finkbeiner set up Plant-for-the-Planet? ________________________________ 4. How many trees has Plant-for-the-Planet planted in Mexico? ________________________________ 5. What does Finkbeiner call on people to do in the last paragraph? ________________________________ 【答案】 1. When he was 9 years old./ In 2007./ At the age of nine. 2. At their school. 3. To encourage the public to join in planting trees. 4. Nearly 8 million. 5. Take part in planting trees./ Plant trees. 六、书面表达 Passage 1 假如你班本周五下午将开展以“家庭环保活动”为主题的英语班会。请你根据以下信息提示，用英语写一篇短文，谈一谈在日常生活中你和你的家人是如何做到绿色环保、低碳生活的，为班会上的发言作准备。词数80-100，开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 提示： 1.绿色出行； 2.节约用水； 3.回收利用。 Good afternoon, everyone!

My parents drive their cars less and ride shared-bikes more. I take a bus to school. What’s more, we save water by turning off the water while washing vegetables and fruit in a bowl of water instead of leaving the water running. Last but not least, we try to reuse things.

I’m writing to talk about the serious pollution of the river near my home _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best regards, Li Hua 【答案】例文 Dear editors, I’m Li Hua, a student from Grade 9. I’m writing to talk about the serious pollution of the river near my home.​ The river is facing terrible pollution problems. It gives off a strong and unpleasant smell, which prevents citizens from coming closer. Besides, rubbish like plastic bags and bottles floats everywhere on the water. What’s worse, plenty of dead fish can be seen lying on the riverbank. There are two main reasons. Factories nearby would pour waste water directly into the river. In addition, local people throw a lot of rubbish into it without realizing the harm.​ To solve this problem, here are two suggestions. Factories should be strictly stopped from pouring waste water. Also, we had better raise public awareness of environmental protection, like organizing clean-up activities. Only in this way can we bring back the clear and clean river.​ Best regards, Li Hua 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
