For thousands of years, bamboo has been used to make food, houses, paper and even musical instruments. Now, bamboo is stepping into a new role—replacing (替代) p 1 !
Every year, the world creates about 400 million tons of plastic waste. To solve the problem, Zhejiang, Fujian, Sichuan, Guangdong and Anhui provinces have used bamboo as an environmentally f 2 replacement.
Anji county (县) in Zhejiang province is a good e 3 . It covers 666 square kilometers of bamboo forests. Here, bamboo is already replacing plastic in various products. “When I was young, bamboo-woven baskets and chairs were q 4 common,” said Bai Xia, a local in Anji. Bai said that bamboo-made tableware (餐具) is u 5 in more than 300 restaurants and hotels in the county. “These bamboo-based bags can break down within three months and yet they are stronger than plastic bags,” she a 6 . Kindergartens in Anji have also used bamboo-made toys for children, including toy bricks (积木) and models.
Bamboo grows really fast. W 7 trees take more than 10 years to grow big, bamboo only needs four to six years. This means people can have many harvests without having to plant new o 8 .
It’s said that Anji p 9 between 400,000 and 500,000 tons of bamboo every year. Using bamboo i 10 of plastic helps the local community a lot. As around 1,000 companies take part in the industry in Anji, bamboo has become more important to the county’s economy.

“Well, we can donate the old magazines to the library. And this empty paper box can 4 (use) for art projects,” she replied.
“I understand your new thinking, Jenna,” said her dad. “But I want you to put them in this recycling bag with all the other paper things 5 that’s the way we have always done it.”
“Dad! At the recycling center, they taught us to reuse,” Jenna explained as she tied the magazines together with a string (绳子).
“I don’t like 6 idea of giving away our old magazines to other people,” said her dad.
“But when we reuse, we also reduce waste!” said Jenna. “And when we reduce, the recycling center 7 (not get) too full of material. If every family reduces waste, we can make a big 8 (different).”
“Oh, alright then,” her dad accepted 9 a smile. “Put the magazines by the front door. We can drop them off at the library on the way to the recycling center.”
“Great!” Jenna 10 (cheer). “Let’s see what else we can find to reuse.”
六、阅读还原。
阅读以下内容,从其后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,有两项是多余的。
A carbon footprint (碳足迹) is the total number of greenhouse gases (温室气体) that are produced by our actions. A person’s carbon footprint in the United States is 16 tons, one of the highest in the world. To avoid a 2℃ rise in earth’s temperatures, the carbon footprint per year needs to drop to under 2 tons by 2050. 1 So here are some simple steps we can take to help.
Look at what you’re eating
Eating more vegetables and fruits and less meat is surely good for our environment. 2 Eating less meat can reduce your carbon footprint by up to 500 kilograms of CO2 per year.
Save energy at home
Much of the home energy is powered by coal, oil and gas. Try to use less energy by washing your clothes with cold water. 3 For example, you can put in solar panels (太阳能板) to collect energy from the sun for your home.
Walk, bike or take public transport
The world’s roadways are full of traffic, and most of them are polluting the air. Walking or riding a bike instead of driving will reduce greenhouse gas. 4 For longer trips, choosing public transport will be better.
Reduce, reuse and recycle
Buying things that are well made can go a long way to reducing the number of waste one produces. 5 Of course, if you can’t reuse something, you can also try to recycle it.
A.Another terrible fact is that much food is wasted.
B.It will also do harm to your health and fitness.
C.Choose to use energy from the sun and wind if possible.
D.If you really need a car, why not choose an electric (用电的) one?
E.It’s not easy to lower the carbon footprints from 16 tons to 2 tons.
F.This is because producing foods made from plants needs less energy.
G.If you don’t want something anymore, give it away or try to reuse it.

八、阅读理解。
阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。
My friend Julie and I are crazy about creating (创建) a beautiful green town.
Gardening Course
Every September, our city has a special festival. Crowds of happy people go to the park. That’s because the gardening competition takes place there.
For Julie and me, it was a pity that we couldn’t take part in the gardening competition, for that was also the first day of our high school. We were busy choosing courses. We wanted to learn all about plants, gardening and farming. We thought it would help us succeed as gardeners.
Project presentation
After a year’s study, I decided to give a talk to my class about my project—the green farm.
“Good morning!” I said, “During my studies, I’ve learned a lot about city farming. Now, I want to do something with what I’ve learned.”
I showed them a small plastic model. “This is the high street of our town. This is an old, nine-floor car park. No one has used it for the last two years and it’s now for sale.”
“I’ve designed a city farm using the car park building. There will be eight floors to farm fruit and vegetables. This design can help us collect rainwater to wet the soil. And we can also use energy from the sun to power the special growing lights.”
“I will hire (租) the space out to local people and they will sell everything good enough for the environment in local shops. Also, the ninth floor will be for those who want to grow their own plants.”
My audience looked interested and my project got the highest marks in my class.
Later, Julie helped me search the town for the perfect place for gardening—somewhere that was not the best neighbourhood, but a poor one. One where the road was full of holes and the pavement (人行道) was all broken came into our eyes. At last, we made it.
In the neighbourhood, we posted letters through people’s doors with gardening instructions. More and more people cared about that and began to plant vegetable gardens.
Then in the same neighbourhood, we put grass over those broken old pavements for the kids to play on. Finally, we put up a sign that said, “Have fun here.”
When we finished, we were both covered in soil and completely tired. But Julie put an arm around my shoulders and smiled. “Not bad!” she said. “We can do more to make our town greener!”

A.change her gardening projects B.express her interest in gardening
C.discuss ways to get good prizes D.tell stories of gardening courses

A.find more open spaces to plant grass and vegetables
B.hire out their green farms for parking and camping

阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容,在文章后的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填1个单词。
Birds are building their nests (巢) with rubbish, said a new study. The rubbish includes cigarette butts (烟头) and plastic bags.
A group of European scientists looked into about 35, 000 studies on bird nests. They found that birds have used man-made things in nests almost everywhere on Earth, not including Antarctica.
Some rubbish seems to be helpful. This is why birds like putting it in their nests. For example, cigarette butts have some chemicals (化学物质), so they can keep insects away and protect their babies. Plastic bags are useful in keeping the animals warm, and other hard things, such as paper cards, can make nests stronger.
However, in the end, human rubbish may only bring more harm to birds. The toxic (有毒的) chemicals in cigarettes hurt their babies. They may get sick or have shorter lives, according to a 2014 study.
To make matters worse, if the cigarette still burns when the bird brings it back to its home, it may set fire to the nest. Pieces of fishing net may also trap birds, and it’s impossible for them to get out by themselves. If their babies eat other kinds of rubbish by accident, they will also get hurt. Birds are feeling the bad effects (影响) of humans polluting the environment.

“How so?” her father questioned.
“Well, we can donate the old magazines to the library. And this empty paper box can 4 (use) for art projects,” she replied.
“I understand your new thinking, Jenna,” said her dad. “But I want you to put them in this recycling bag with all the other paper things 5 that’s the way we have always done it.”
“Dad! At the recycling center, they taught us to reuse,” Jenna explained as she tied the magazines together with a string (绳子).
“I don’t like 6 idea of giving away our old magazines to other people,” said her dad.
“But when we reuse, we also reduce waste!” said Jenna. “And when we reduce, the recycling center 7 (not get) too full of material. If every family reduces waste, we can make a big 8 (different).”
“Oh, alright then,” her dad accepted 9 a smile. “Put the magazines by the front door. We can drop them off at the library on the way to the recycling center.”
“Great!” Jenna 10 (cheer). “Let’s see what else we can find to reuse.”

6.句意:“我不喜欢把我们的旧杂志送给别人的想法,”她爸爸说。根据上文“Well, we can donate the old magazines to the library.”可知,把旧杂志送人的想法已提及一次,此处是第二次提及,应用定冠词the表特指。故填the。
7.句意:而且当我们减少时,回收中心就没有/不会有太多材料了。分析句子可知,when引导时间状语从句,此处可以是描述一般事实,主从句都用一般现在时,主语“the recycling center”是第三人称单数,否定助动词用doesn’t,后接动词原形get;也可以描述将来的情况,遵循“主将从现”的原则,空格所在句是主句,应用一般将来时的will do结构,will not缩写为won’t。故填doesn’t get/won’t get。
8.句意:如果每个家庭都减少垃圾,我们就能带来巨大的改变。make a difference“有作用或影响”,为固定短语。故填difference。
9.句意:“哦,那好吧,”她的爸爸微笑着接受了。根据“her dad accepted...a smile”可知,此处指接受时脸上带着微笑,应用介词with表伴随。故填with。
10.句意:“太好了!”Jenna欢呼道。全文用一般过去时讲述过去发生的事情,此处谓语动词用过去式cheered。故填cheered。

My friend Julie and I are crazy about creating (创建) a beautiful green town.
Gardening Course
Every September, our city has a special festival. Crowds of happy people go to the park. That’s because the gardening competition takes place there.
For Julie and me, it was a pity that we couldn’t take part in the gardening competition, for that was also the first day of our high school. We were busy choosing courses. We wanted to learn all about plants, gardening and farming. We thought it would help us succeed as gardeners.
Project presentation
After a year’s study, I decided to give a talk to my class about my project—the green farm.
“Good morning!” I said, “During my studies, I’ve learned a lot about city farming. Now, I want to do something with what I’ve learned.”
I showed them a small plastic model. “This is the high street of our town. This is an old, nine-floor car park. No one has used it for the last two years and it’s now for sale.”
“I’ve designed a city farm using the car park building. There will be eight floors to farm fruit and vegetables. This design can help us collect rainwater to wet the soil. And we can also use energy from the sun to power the special growing lights.”
“I will hire (租) the space out to local people and they will sell everything good enough for the environment in local shops. Also, the ninth floor will be for those who want to grow their own plants.”
My audience looked interested and my project got the highest marks in my class.
Later, Julie helped me search the town for the perfect place for gardening—somewhere that was not the best neighbourhood, but a poor one. One where the road was full of holes and the pavement (人行道) was all broken came into our eyes. At last, we made it.
In the neighbourhood, we posted letters through people’s doors with gardening instructions. More and more people cared about that and began to plant vegetable gardens.
Then in the same neighbourhood, we put grass over those broken old pavements for the kids to play on. Finally, we put up a sign that said, “Have fun here.”
When we finished, we were both covered in soil and completely tired. But Julie put an arm around my shoulders and smiled. “Not bad!” she said. “We can do more to make our town greener!”

Birds are building their nests (巢) with rubbish, said a new study. The rubbish includes cigarette butts (烟头) and plastic bags.
A group of European scientists looked into about 35, 000 studies on bird nests. They found that birds have used man-made things in nests almost everywhere on Earth, not including Antarctica.
Some rubbish seems to be helpful. This is why birds like putting it in their nests. For example, cigarette butts have some chemicals (化学物质), so they can keep insects away and protect their babies. Plastic bags are useful in keeping the animals warm, and other hard things, such as paper cards, can make nests stronger.
However, in the end, human rubbish may only bring more harm to birds. The toxic (有毒的) chemicals in cigarettes hurt their babies. They may get sick or have shorter lives, according to a 2014 study.
To make matters worse, if the cigarette still burns when the bird brings it back to its home, it may set fire to the nest. Pieces of fishing net may also trap birds, and it’s impossible for them to get out by themselves. If their babies eat other kinds of rubbish by accident, they will also get hurt. Birds are feeling the bad effects (影响) of humans polluting the environment.
