A
Four volunteer programs of Freepackers
In Costa Rica
Come live and work in the heart of the Kekoldi Indigenous Reserve. Join other teenagers to learn how to protect important wildlife species and the natural environment. Learn from experienced researchers how non-governmental organizations and national governments use data collection and analysis to conserve the natural environment. Observe and study Costa Rican wildlife in their natural habitats. You can also take part in beach clean-ups and bird studies.
In Ireland
This program welcomes young travelers interested in Irish culture and climate action. Bees are threatened with extinction in Ireland. This reduction is due to lack of food and safe nesting (筑巢) sites. Based in Cork City, your group will work with local organizations to create green spaces. Participants will be expected to carry out field tasks, such as removing invasive (入侵的) plants and planting bee-friendly species. The participants should be 14 years old and above.
In Portugal
This community project in Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, focuses primarily on ensuring that food is not wasted. The number of people in need has been increasing in recent years, making this project particularly vital. Your day-to-day tasks may include collecting good food that would be thrown away at restaurants, delivering meals to those in need, preparing, organizing, and storing food, maintaining equipment and facilities, etc.
In Chiang Mai
Many Thai families in rural areas live in unclean housing, and numerous local public spaces, such as schools, and community facilities still require significant renovations (修缮). To support Thai communities in the area in improving their living conditions, this construction project takes on tasks from mixing cement (水泥) and painting to more complex ones like roof repairs. You will be guided by a construction professional,who will ensure site safety and the quality of the renovated housing. The minimum age required is 16.
1. What do the programs in Costa Rica and Ireland have in common?
A. They feature local cultures. B. They involve protecting animals.
C. They require working with the government. D. They offer chances to do scientific research.
2. What will the Portugal project’s participants do?
A. Fight food waste. B. Taste local cuisines.
C. Promote healthy eating. D. Address food shortages.
3.What is the aim of the program in Chiang Mai?
A. To build health facilities. B. To raise safety awareness.
C. To provide educational support. D. To improve local housing quality.
B
Research shows that Americans, on average, throw out about three-quarters of a pound of plastic each day. Most of that trash winds up in a landfill (垃圾填埋场). As someone who loves challenges and tries to live sustainably, I wanted to see how hard it would be to live without plastic for a week.
A big challenge was plastic-free eating. Most of the food I buy comes in plastic. So, I ended up creating a bunch of new recipes from zero. Sourcing ingredients around the city by bike and cooking took a very long time. Some may call this quest (探求) inconvenient. But if you view it as picking up a new hobby to cook more and learn about your local food system like me, then it’s a win.
The times I planned ahead --- avoiding plastic was easy. I brought my own bags to the grocery store, brought my own containers to restaurants for leftovers, and told friends not to bring single-use plastics when I hosted a party. But one night, I had people over and didn’t have enough food to feed everyone. So we ordered food delivery which included plastic-lined paper boxes and plastic utensils (餐具).
During that week, I spent over $200 on consumable items --- including groceries, toiletries (洗漱用具),medication, and going to bars and restaurants. That total is actually around $15 less than I spent on consumables the week prior. The biggest money-saver was cutting out food delivery. Making my own bread saved me money, as did just serving popcorn I made myself instead of buying bags of chips when I hosted a party. But, the plastic-free shampoo and conditioner (洗发剂和护发剂) were more than double what I usually spend. Shopping at the farmers’ market was more expensive than a typical grocery store.
This experiment was inspired by Rebecca Prince-Ruiz,who started the Plastic Free July movement in Australia in 2011. She estimates 89 million people worldwide took the challenge last year. This year, I’m proud to have taken the challenge myself, and I’ll continue some of these changes.
4. What does the author think of her experience of plastic-free eating?
A. It was rewarding. B. It was troublesome.
C. It taught her cooking. D. It became her new pursuit.
5. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 3?
A. Food delivery can be eco-friendly. B. Plastics exist in unexpected places.
C. Convincing others to go green is not easy. D. Avoiding plastic entirely can be challenging.
6. Which helped reduce the author’s expenses that week?
A. Avoiding eating out. B. Buying from the farmers’ market.
C. Stopping ordering food delivery. D. Switching to green haircare products.
7. What might be the best title for the text?
A. Save money or save the planet? B. A green diet for a greener planet
C. It is time to regain trust in recycling! D. My week-long plastic-free challenge
C
Oil spills at sea pose risks to the entire ecosystem. Attempts to remove that oil tend to be messy, costly and often not very effective. But Yuchun He, a material scientist from China, and other researchers think they’ve found a new way to sop up (吸走) that sticky pollution: cork (软木), the bark (树皮) of a particular tree.
He’s team had been using lasers (激光) to cut lines into wood. They hoped those patterns might help them build electronic devices from the wood. They’d never tried it on cork before. But when they did, something unexpected happened. The cork darkened. That change suggested the cork might be able to turn light into heat.
The scientists already knew that untreated cork could sop up oil. But it did so very slowly. The problem: Oil is very thick. But oil gets thinner when it warms up. And thinner oil should be absorbed by cork more easily or stick to its surface. They had a hunch that tiny holes created by the laser might help the cork store more heat. The treated cork should warm up more quickly than usual in sunlight. And that warmth should thin nearby oil, making it easier for the cork to sop up.
To test this, they compared small, thin pieces of clean cork to laser-treated cork. Their results showed that the treated cork sopped up oil much faster than the untreated cork when exposed to sunlight. The researchers note that the laser’s light scuffs (磨损) the surface of the cork ever so slightly. This makes the cork extra water-resistant and more attractive to oil. He says that the treated cork can clean up a spill because the oil sticks to its surface.
He has high hopes for treated cork. He explains that after it’s harvested from a tree, the cork grows back in about 10 years. “To my knowledge, there are almost no truly reusable oil-absorbing materials,” He says. But even if cork isn’t either, it may still offer a preferred way to clean oil from the environment.
8. What does paragraph 2 tell us about He’s new finding?
A. It is ground-breaking. B. It was made by accident.
C. It is the result of trial and error. D. It proved efficient in building electronics.
9. Which of the following best explains “had a hunch”underlined in paragraph 3?
A. Suspected. B. Discovered. C. Denied. D. Ignored.
10. Why can the laser-treated cork be used to tackle oil spills?
A. It is effective outdoors. B. It separates oil and water.
C. It makes oil easy to collect. D. It prevents oil from spreading.
11. What is a feature of cork according to He?
A. It is flexible. B. It is renewable.
C. It is widely available. D. It is cheap to produce.
D
The East Canfield neighborhood of Detroit is not the most likely place to encounter a huge sculpture of an African crown (王冠) shining with gold paint. Yet this queenly structure in the East Canfield Art Park, designed by the land artist and activist Jordan Weber, is fit for one of the city’s most disadvantaged and polluted neighborhoods: in place of jewels (宝石), the crown is fitted with an air-monitoring system that will enable residents to track airborne pollutants, from Canadian wildfire smoke to emissions from a massive automotive assembly (汽车装配) factory four blocks away.
Weber’s sculpture, “New Forest, Ancient Thrones”, integrates crowns worn by two long-ago African queens. They may have been the sculpture’s stylistic jumping-off point. But in the real world, the true inspirations behind the crown are Rhonda and Kim Theus, sisters who returned home to East Canfield in 2016 and have worked hard to defend the local environment. Like the African queens from the past, the sisters are “protectors and providers,” Weber said. “The crown is Kim and Rhonda through and through.”
The Theus sisters founded the Canfield Consortium to transform junk-ridden unoccupied lots into productive spaces overflowing with flowers and public art, and they have worked with Weber on the crown. Weber’s crown includes real-time air monitor readings downloadable through an app, which are indicated through colored LED lights on the sculpture itself, signaling good to hazardous (有害的) air days. “Art can make complex and hard subjects easier to understand,” Kim Theus said.
Back in East Canfield, a group of eighth-grade science students, whose school is across the street from the East Canfield Art Park, helped plant trees and they will use the crown as an environmental classroom. They are already citizen scientists, telling their teacher, Monique Taylor, that the air quality is poor. Taylor recalled that a student picked up a piece of paper on the ground in the East Canfield Art Park and asked, “Why would that dirty piece of paper be on the ground when it’s nice in the garbage can?” Now there’s the crown in all its glory, a gateway into the changes of nature for children.
12. What is the main design purpose of Weber’s “New Forest, Ancient Thrones’?
A. To help locals monitor air quality. B. To celebrate Africa’s early history.
C. To reduce carbon dioxide emissions. D. To express his love for his hometown.
13. Who are the real-life inspirations behind Weber’s sculpture?
A. Local artists from Detroit. B. A group of science students.
C. Two environmental activists. D. Two historical African queens.
14. What can be learned about the Canfield Consortium?
A. It organizes community clean-up events. B. It breathes new life into deserted spaces.
C. It designs artistic works for local parks. D. It develops an air-monitoring app.
15. Why are a group of students mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To present the improved local environment.
B. To predict the bright future of East Canfield.
C. To acknowledge citizen scientists’ contribution.
D. To show the educational value of Weber’s sculpture.

We’ve all experienced it --- the trip to the store where you come back with a product enclosed in a plastic-wrapped package twice its size. From groceries to household items, overpackaging seems to be a universal trend.
16 Overpackaging consumes valuable resources, including plastic, paper and energy, and often generates large amounts of waste that places a heavy burden (负担) on ecosystems. The negative impact of overpackaging extends (延伸) beyond environmental concerns to economic implications. Companies employing overpackaging techniques face higher costs for packaging materials. 17
Hence, it’s crucial to take immediate action to stop this harmful practice. 18 Governments must establish policies and regulations to control overpackaging. This ensures businesses adopt sustainable packaging practices. 19 They should also adopt a minimalist (简约主义) approach in retail (零售) packaging by reducing package size and weight while removing unnecessary materials.
As consumers, we have the power to make a difference too. For example, when shopping, we should choose products with minimal or zero packaging and bring our own reusable bags. 20 Get creative and find ways to reuse packaging materials at home or donate them to local organizations that can repurpose them.
A. This requires joint efforts from multiple sides.
B. As a result, the products often become more expensive.
C. Over time, the increased carbon footprint can raise cleanup costs.
D. However, this seemingly minor issue has a major impact on our planet.
E. Businesses should consider using eco-friendly materials for packaging.
F. Furthermore, we should try to recycle or repurpose packaging materials.
G. Customers should be aware of the environmental impact of their products.

When Denise Carroll jumps into her pond, she swims alongside several fish. She’s not crazy about sharing the 21 with the scaled (有鳞的) swimmers --- she’s 22 that she will jump in and land on the fish. However, she feels that the benefits of swimming in a chlorine-free (无氯的) body of water 23 by natural plants outweigh (大于) any potential 24 . Carroll is one of an increasing number of Americans who are beginning to build ponds, sometimes called natural pools, in their backyard, in part 25 videos shared by sustainable living influencers online.
The 26 of building a natural pool is fairly comparable to that of a chlorine pool. Sara Bendrick, who worked on Carroll’s, said a pond could 27 from $50,000 to $200,000 depending on size. But natural pools are quicker to create since the materials are much 28 . Natural pools are considered lower maintenance, too, because owners don’t need to 29 chlorine once a week to the water. When winter comes, ponds still bring 30 . Carroll said that she might not swim when the water got 31 , but it was just “enjoyable to 32 and just feel like you’re in a little bit of nature.”
Then, there are the 33 the ponds attract --- a selling point for some. “You can’t build one of these and not 34 dragonflies, minnows (鲦鱼), frogs, and even snakes,” said Morgan Castellow, who now shares a natural pool with his family. He considers these creatures a 35 , “I think the ability to see some cool ecology in your backyard is just incredibly rewarding.”

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Staring out towards the sea, a wall of shorebirds 36 (sudden) lifts up from the shallow muddy (多泥的) surface. Together, the birds move gracefully as a group. There are few places in East Asia where you can see so many migratory birds (候鸟) gather in one location. These are the Migratory Bird Sanctuaries along the Coast of the Yellow Sea-Bohai Gulf of China (PhaseII) recently 37 (add) to UNESCO’s World Heritage List.
The newly admitted five sites are part of Phase II, while Phase I sanctuaries (栖息地) 38 (include) on the World Heritage List in 2019. This continued effort showcases China’s strong commitment to protecting important wetlands both for migratory birds and the communities 39 (live) around them.
This 40 (recognize) showcases the critical importance of these wetland habitats for migratory birds in the East Asian-Australasian Flyway (EAAF). Every spring and autumn, millions of birds migrate along the EAAF, 41 stretches across over 20 countries from the Arctic 42 Southeast Asia and Australasia.
Throughout the flyway, large wetland sites are quickly disappearing. Urban development 43
sea level rises put pressure on the wetlands at both ends. This makes it difficult for birds 44 (find) food and rest throughout their journeys. The wetlands within the Yellow Sea Ecoregion serve a unique 45 (ecology) function as essential stopover sites for these birds.
