Unit8单元话题 人与自然——环境保护 首字母填空1（2026·江苏扬州·一模改编）   When most cities shine brightly at night, Shenzhen has chosen to turn off its lights for migratory birds (候鸟). This decision is widely (1)p .   Recently, some visitors noticed that Shenzhen Bay Park was dark at night. Shenzhen Bay lies on an important bird migration route (路线). Every winter, thousands of migratory birds s 2 here during their long journeys. Too much light can disrupt (扰乱) their natural habits or even scare them away. To care for these lovely g 3 from the north, the park turns off lights.   This does not mean the park is c 4 dark. To keep people safe, basic lighting r 5 in key areas such as main entrances, crossroads, and important walkways. This balanced action shows a wise and thoughtful way to run a city.   As early as 2023, Shenzhen introduced rules to c 6 light pollution. For example, in the area around the mangroves (红树林), cold blue-white lights have been replaced (替换) with w 7 yellow ones that disturb birds less. Thanks to these efforts, the number of bird species in Shenzhen’s mangrove parks has r 8 from 83 to 220 over the past few years.   What makes this story special is the voice of the public. Many people agree that making space for nature is the right c 9 . This shows a growing awareness (意识) that a truly livable city is not just bright and busy, but also peaceful and balanced.   Shenzhen is not a 10 . Other cities like Beijing and Chengdu have also taken steps to cut down light pollution during migration seasons.   In the end, turning off lights for birds is not just about protecting animals—it proves that a city can be modern and eco-friendly at the same time. 【答案】 1praised 2stay/stop 3guests 4completely 5remains 6control 7warm 8risen 9．choice 10．alone 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了深圳为保护候鸟而主动关闭灯光的故事，展现了城市在现代化与生态友好之间的平衡，以及其他城市的类似举措。 首字母填空2 More and more people are choosing to live a low-carbon life. They ride bikes (1)i of driving cars,use cloth bags (2)r than plastic ones, and turn off lights when not in use. In schools, students are learning about climate change. They discuss how rising temperatures affect weather patterns and (3)c extreme weather like floods and droughts. Some families have installed solar panels on their roofs. These devices (4)c sunlight into electricity, reducing reliance on coal power. Global warming is a global problem, but local actions (5)m . Even small changes—— like eating less meat or taking shorter showers—— can make a (6)d . Experts say the key is consistency .“Don't wait for perfection,” says Dr. Wu.“Just start. Every action adds up.” Young people are especially important. They can influence their families, share ideas online, and actively (7)p for greener policies. In the end, saving the planet isn't just about science—— it's about personal (8)c , courage, and cooperation. We all share one Earth. Let's treat it with (9)r and hope for a (10)b tomorrow. 【答案】1instead 2rather 3cause 4change 5matter 6difference 7push 8care 9respect 10better 首字母填空3(25-26九年级下·江苏盐城·期中改编） Feeling stressed or sad? You might be surprised to know that hugging a tree can actually help you feel (1b 1 . It may sound a little funny, but science shows that spending time (2)c to trees is good for both our minds and bodies. One idea behind this is (3)c the “biophilia hypothesis” (生物亲和力假说). It was suggested by scientist Edward Wilson. He believed that humans are naturally drawn to (被吸引) (4)l things, such as plants and animals. This love for nature is part of who we are. That’s why many people feel relaxed when they see green forests, grass, or flowers (5)i of tall buildings and busy streets. Studies have also shown that hugging trees can (6)c how our bodies work. When we hug a tree, our body may produce more oxytocin (催产素), a hormone (荷尔蒙) that helps us (7)f calm, safe and happy. Even a short hug of about 20 seconds can make a (8)d . At the same time, tree-hugging can lower cortisol (皮质醇), a hormone linked to stress. When cortisol levels go down, we feel more relaxed and peaceful. While hugging trees can be h 9 , it’s important to treat nature with care. Trees are home to many tiny plants and animals that we can’t e 10 see. So when you hug a tree, be gentle and respectful — just like when you hug a good friend. Sometimes, nature gives us comfort in the simplest ways. 【答案】1better 2close 3called 4living 5 instead 6change 7feel 8difference 9helpful 10easily 首字母填空4 What does it mean to be green? Green is more than just a (1)c . It also means taking steps to protect the environment. Buying a green product is a small step everyone can take. (2)D whether a product is green, however, isn't always easy. We need to consider the whole life cycle of the product even after it's of no use. Here is what we may keep in(3)m . The materials of a product are usually our first focus. What is it made of? Are there any (4)h chemicals (化学物质) in it? Green products are made of more natural materials, so they can be good for our (5)h . Packaging(包装) is important. How is a product packaged? Is it over-packaged? We'd better choose glass, metal and paper packaging as these can be (6)r or more easily recycled. We can also look for less packaging or even choose unbagged products whenever possible. Location matters. Where was a product produced? Where are we buying it? Think about how much energy was used to get it to us. When it comes to food, it is a good idea to order directly from local farmers and shop at markets. Buying from stores near our houses is also a good choice because we can go there (7)w driving a car. Look into what the company tells us about their product. It's easy to say that a product is“green” or“all natural” but the words may be (8)t good to be true. So, much of the information about a product should be taken with a grain of salt. The greenest thing is certainly the one we don't buy. Things like(9)f and clothing are necessary for life. But many others are not. Better than buying is choosing to leave an unnecessary product in the store. It sends a message to the producer, keeps money in our pockets, (10)r waste and keeps the planet healthy. 1colour 2Deciding 3mind 4harmful 5health 6reused 7without 8too 9food 10reduces 首字母填空5 Recently the term“carbon neutral(碳中和)” has been a public topic. Being carbon neutral means (1)c down carbon emissions(碳排放) to zero or balancing them out by taking some carbon out of the atmosphere(大气层). Carbon emissions make the climate change for the (2)w and the temperatures rise. They are caused by all kinds of human activities. Burning fossil fuels like coal and oil to (3)p energy is a main source of carbon emissions. China has promised to be carbon neutral by 2060. To achieve this goal, we will face many challenges. However, many hands make light work. We students can also make contributions to helping (4)r this goal. Here' re some suggestions. Travel in a green way Since driving cars has caused serious air problems, we'd better do more walking or cycling instead of driving. By doing so, we can save energy and reduce air(5) p . Save water Lack(缺乏) of water resources will be (6)h to the ecological environment. So please turn off the tap after using it. Plant more trees A good way of balancing out the carbon emissions is to plant trees because trees can (7)t in CO₂ as they grow . Reduce food waste Schools can encourage students to save food by comparing how much food is not eaten by students after each meal.They can (8)w the leftovers(剩余饭菜) by putting them on the scale. Also, they can put the leftovers into a machine that can (9)t the waste into useful things. For example, some waste can be put in the garden to help plants grow.

In some years, the Poyang Lake experiences floods, while in others, it experiences dry weather. 2 To help deal with the problem, the local government has planted 70 hectares (公顷) of lotus roots (莲藕) in Nanchang. 3 The birds’ population has risen from about 3, 000 to more than 5,000 over the past 20 years. Over the years, China has worked hard to protect migratory birds. Recently, 1,140 places in the country have been taken as important breeding (繁殖) grounds, wintering grounds and migratory stops. 4 They play a key role in cleaning water, preventing floods, and keeping the balance of the environment. 5 The law sets rules to help manage wetlands. And it stops harmful activities, including giving out waste water. Thanks to these efforts, China has reported more birds wintering in the wetlands. ( A．Most of them are wetlands. B．We need more people to count the birds. C．About 95% of the birds spend winter there. D．It’s important for us to do something to protect them. E．In this way, they provide food during the winter for the cranes. F．Both of these lead to the problem that there isn’t enough food for cranes. G．To protect wetlands, the Wetlands Protection Law was introduced on June 1, 2022. ) 【导语】本文主要介绍中国对于保护鸟类采取的行动和成果。 信息还原2（2025·江苏连云港·模拟预测） Wild animals are our friends, but many of them are getting fewer and fewer. We should try to protect them. 1 Tibetan Antelopes Tibetan antelopes (藏羚羊) are medium-sized animals. They mainly feed on grass. They are usually found in groups of about 20. They are killed for their wool, which is warm, soft and fine and can be made into expensive clothes. 2 There are less than 75,000 Tibetan antelopes left in the world, down from a million 50 years ago. Golden Monkeys Golden monkeys are mainly found in Sichuan, Gansu, Shaanxi provinces and Shengnongjia mountainous area of Hubei Province. Golden monkeys have golden-orange fur. They move around in the daytime, usually in groups of as many as 100 to 200 heads, or 20 to 30 heads. They feed on fruits and young leaves of bamboos. 3 Trees and bamboos are disappearing, so golden monkeys have less and less to eat. Elephants Elephants are very big and strong. 4 Now, there are very few elephants in the world. The number of them is becoming smaller and smaller because their living areas are used for farming. Also, people hunt them for their tusks. Wolves Wolves are not very big. They have grey fur.Wolves have very good eyesight, hearing and smell. Their food is various. 5 They are friendly to each other and never attack people. They do not kill for fun. Wolves are in danger, too. They are losing their living areas because people cut down forests. Soon they will have no home or food. ( A．They eat animals, insects and snails. B．The four animals below are now in danger. C．The number of them is dropping year by year. D．They are bigger than any other animals on land. E．But people are destroying the environment where they live. F．Now it is time for us to take action to protect the wild animals. G．There will be no wild animals left soon unless people stop hunting them for their fur, bones and paws. ) 【导语】本文通过介绍藏羚羊、金丝猴、大象和狼四种濒危动物的现状及其面临的问题，呼吁人们采取行动保护野生动物。 信息还原3（2025·江西·模拟预测） Being green means protecting the environment in our daily life. 1 But how do we know if a product is really green? We need to think about everything that is used to produce the product. 2 Green products are made of natural materials. This is good for our health. Second, where a product is made and where we buy it are also important. We should try to buy local products, especially food. 3 Buying from shops near our homes is also a good idea, because we can go there without driving a car. 4 We should choose products that have glass, paper or other packaging that can be reused or recycled. We should also try to buy products that have less packaging or no packaging at all. The greenest thing we can do is not to buy unnecessary products. 5 If we don't need something, we should leave it in the shop. This saves money, reduces waste, and helps keep the planet healthy. ( A. We can order directly from local farmers. B. The best way to do this is buying green products. C. Packaging （ 包装 ） is another thing we should think about. D. First, we should look at the materials of the products. E. This is the worst way to make our homes look better. F. We should only buy things we really need, like food and clothes. G. For example, we should try to buy the most expensive products. ) 任务型阅读1（2024镇江中考） Guarding the Blue Planet Liu loves to teach people to explore the underwater world and lead them to feel the beauty of the sea. Now, he devotes himself to the voluntary work in a community called Better Blue. The volunteers in Better Blue are not only made up of diving coaches like Liu, but also pilots, lawyers, doctors and so on. All of them should have the knowledge of the sea. Every year, 12 million tons of plastic waste flows into the ocean. Sea animals like turtles often lose their lives because of eating plastic or fishing nets. Even humans on land are influenced because the fish we eat may have harmful plastic particles in their bodies. So the community Better Blue was started in 2017. It hopes to raise marine (海洋的) protection awareness among the public, invite people to protect the endangered sea animals and encourage people to think about how to make the ocean develop in a friendly way. Dive Against Debris is an activity organized by Better Blue to protect the ocean. The activity needs volunteers with greater diving skills. In this project, divers go into the waters and fish out rubbish, which is then separated into different groups. They do this at several fixed locations in the bay area of Shenzhen every month. The work also includes checking which rubbish often appears in the area, doing a research on why this kind of rubbish is the most and making suggestions to reduce the pollution. Marine protection is not limited to collecting rubbish. It also includes marine protection education. On weekdays, Liu volunteers to teach children marine protection in local schools. Volunteers like him teach marine science to make children realize that land- based rubbish can also pollute the ocean. Researchers from local universities also take part in such activities. With diving becoming popular, people are more willing to learn about marine protection. They come with their equipment, dive into the waters, get to know the underwater world and protect it. Liu is not only a diving ___1__, but also a volunteer in Better Blue. Volunteers of Better Blue do different jobs and they are ___2__ to have the knowledge of the sea.

As China’s second-longest river, it has long been troubled by pollution and too much sand. However, thanks to environmental protection efforts, its water quality has improved greatly. In 2022, for the first time, the main part of the Yellow River reached Class II water quality. This means the water is clean enough for drinking after proper treatment. This high standard has been kept for years. Numbers show great progress. Since 2018, the percentage of clean water (Class I-III) across the whole river area has gone up from 66.4% to over 90%. At the same time, the dirtiest water (below Class V), which was not fit for any use, is no longer seen. On average, the rate of good water in the area continues to go up every year. These amazing results show the environment of the Yellow River is getting better and better. This great change did not come easily. In the 1990s and early 2000s, the river faced serious environmental problems. Factory waste, agricultural pollution and household wastewater made the river dirty. Many local fish died out, and the water became unsafe to drink, putting millions of people living along the river in danger. To save the “Mother River”, our government took many useful steps. Over 17,000 polluted outlets (排污口) were strictly controlled. The Yellow River Protection Law came into effect in 2023, offering the river long-term support. Besides, large projects to stop soil loss were carried out on the Loess Plateau (黄土高原), and water projects like the Xiaolangdi Dam helped reduce sand in the water. Today, the Yellow River is lively again. Endangered fish have appeared in its waters again, and rare birds like whooper swans now spend winter in the Sanmenxia Reservoir. The “Mother River”, once polluted, is now clear and healthy, bringing hope back to the land and people who depend on it.
