the earth!

down.Trees play an important role on the earth.They can
protect the land from being eroded ()They are also
内
good for the air.For example,some trees can clear the air
and provide us with oxygen.
★Give your car a break.
Instead of driving your car,you can walk or ride a bike
Then you will save money and reduce greenhouse gas emis-
sions.Walking and riding bikes are two good ways of exerci-
sing.They can help you get healthier.
★Save energy at home.
You can turn off lights and electronics when they are
not in use.You can take shorter showers.In fact,there are
many things you can do to save energy.
★Buy local goods.
Buying local goods helps cut down air pollution.You
don't have to travel so far to get the goods you need.And
goods don't have to travel so far to get to you either.

To celebrate Earth Day,a lively flea market(跳蚤市场)
was held on a Saturday in April.The event was organized by a
public service centre in Shekou.Tao,from the centre,said it
was to call on more people to care about the environment and
bring the community together.About 30 stands were set up by
both local and foreign citizens.Many people came to enjoy the
event.
One stand was run by Abigail,a foreign teacher.She gave
away her family's old clothes and toys for free."These are no
longer useful to me,but they might help others,"she said.
With a smile,many people took things they needed.Another
popular stand was run by Mr Wang,a local citizen.He sold
books and toys that once belonged to his daughter."We've
sold about 70 books in less than two hours,"he said.Nearby,
handmade earrings by Maggie caught the eyes of many young
people.She started making them as a hobby and now sells

With more people caring about environmental protection,
green cars have become popular around the world.Unlike old-
style cars that use petrol(汽油),these cars get power from
electricity,hydrogen gas(氢气),or other clean energy.Let's
see how they work and change our lives.
Types of Green Cars:There are three main kinds.Full-
electric cars use only electricity stored in batteries,making no
dirty air.Mixed-power cars use both petrol engines(发动机)
and electric motors,changing between them to save energy.
Hydrogen cars make electricity from hydrogen gas,only letting
out water.They don't pollute air.
Advantages of Green Cars:They're environmentally
friendly.For example,full-electric cars make much less dirty
air because they don't send out harmful gases.They are also
quieter than petrol cars.What's more,using electricity costs
less than buying petrol,saving money over time.
Challenges to Beat:As every coin has two sides,green
cars face challenges.Full-electric cars can usually drive 300-
500 km before needing more power,causing "range anxiety"
for drivers on long distance trips.Charging()stations are
not as common as petrol stations,especially in the country-
side.Also,producing batteries needs special metals,which
may pollute the environment.
Looking to the Future:Countries and companies are
working hard.Many places give tax()cuts to people buying
green cars.Battery technology is getting better fast;some new
ones can go over 1,000 km now.Charging stations using sun-
light and hydrogen systems are also being built.With these
changes,green cars may become the main choice on roads by
2040.

graph 3?
A.They make no harmful gases.
B.They make more noise.
C.They charge very slowly.
D.They cost more to charge.
)32.What does the underlined word "they"refer to?
A.Hydrogen cars.

agree with?

Pollution means adding dirty or harmful things to our en-
vironment.36 There are three main forms of pollution:
land pollution.air pollution and water pollution.
Solid waste,such as cans,bottles and some plastic things,
causes land pollution.They can't be broken down quickly.
Some of them can stay there for hundreds of years.37
However,air pollution is more serious than land pollu-
tion.It is worse in cities and towns because of the fumes(
from traffic.38 Then they will become some harmful
chemicals falling on the ground with rain.It is one of the rea-
sons for water pollution.
39 People have realized they must change this serious
situation.There are many ways to control pollution.Develo-
ping alternative energy(替代能源)is very popular in many
countries.China is trying to make use of energy from the sun
and the wind.It has paid plenty of money to make electric cars
and trains instead of traditional traffic.40 Take cloth bags
while going shopping and drive cars less.We must take small
steps to protect our environment.

Near Weizhou Island in Guangxi,a group of scientists are
working under the sea.They fix small baby corals(onto
special frames()on the ocean floor.These baby corals
come from a lab at Guangxi University,where they are grown
56
The coral reefs(珊瑚礁)here have57 big problems.
In 1984,42%of the area was 58 by living corals,but by
2015,that number dropped to just 10%.59 solve this prob-
lem,the team built a special underwater area to grow corals.
They collected 60 pieces of coral,studied them,and later
put them back into the sea.
So far,the team has made over 100 man-made coral
homes and planted 10,000 corals.Even with 61,more than
80%of 62 are still alive.Many corals have grown from
10 cm to 30 cm long.A recent study found that after 63 re-
build the reefs,local fishermen caught five times more fish
than before.
Coral reefs are like underwater cities for sea life.They
protect nearly 25%of ocean animals,64 though they cov-
er only 1-2%of the ocean floor.Saving corals helps both sea
living things 65 people.This is because reefs also protect
coasts from storms.Weizhou Island's story shows that with
hard work we can heal(治愈)the ocean together.

One possible version:
There has been frequent haze in the last few years
in many cities.It's high time people started paying at-
tention to air pollution.
What are the reasons behind the terrible weather?
First,the number of cars has been increasing in the
last few years,and they produce too many poisonous
gases.Second,a lot of rubbish is burnt without follow-
ing the rules.Besides,smoke and flying dust from
chemical plants add to the problem.
It is time for us to fight against air pollution.We
should take the bus more often instead of driving cars.
Planting more trees can also help to improve the air
quality.
Let's take action now!
