Zero waste is a lifestyle that tries to reduce as much waste as possible in daily life. It means not using disposable things, and reusing and recycling things as much as possible. Li Mei, a 24-year-old girl from Chengdu, has been living a zero waste life for over two years. She says that she used to produce a lot of waste every day. She bought a lot of things she didn’t need, and threw away lots of packaging every time she went shopping. After she watched a documentary about plastic pollution, she decided to change her lifestyle. Now, Li Mei’s life is very different. She takes her own cloth bags, glass bottles and reusable lunch boxes when she goes shopping. She never buys disposable chopsticks, cups or bags. She makes her own cleaning products with fruit peels and vinegar, so there is no plastic packaging. She also sorts all her waste carefully. She recycles almost everything, and only produces a small jar of waste every month. Li Mei says that zero waste life is not about being perfect. It’s about taking small steps every day to reduce waste. She has opened a small shop to teach people how to live a zero waste life. She wants more people to join her, and make our world a greener and cleaner place. 1．What is “zero waste life” according to the passage? A．A lifestyle that produces no waste at all.

Recently, a survey showed that only about 20% of the middle school students in Suzhou ride to school. In fact, a bicycle is not only a tool but also a weapon (武器) to fight against climate change. The United Nations General Assembly made a decision in 2022 to support bicycles as a tool for dealing with climate change. It calls on member states to use more bicycles. Many bicycle and environmental protection groups have supported the decision. “It is an important step toward the concept of cycling as an important mode of transport,” said the European Cyclists’ Federation. After the decision was made, many countries have done a lot to increase the use of bicycles. In May 2023, bike sales in Spain increased 22-fold (22倍) compared with 2022. That means more and more people in Spain choose bikes as their travelling tools. In London, large parts of the city are being closed off to cars so that people can walk and cycle safely. And China has some of the largest bike-sharing systems in the world, with more than 360 cities and nearly 20 million bicycles for about 47 million trips each day. It could surely be seen as a mark of China’s bike-sharing success. All in all, cycling is an environmentally friendly way to get around. Cycling instead of driving a car just once a day can reduce a person’s carbon emissions (排放) from transport. If more people choose cycling, the world will be a greener one. 1．What does the underlined word “concept” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．idea B．organization C．review D．copy 2．Why are large parts of London being closed off to cars? A．To keep the cars away from crowded places. B．To prevent too much traffic during the rush hour. C．To help driving become more popular in other cities. D．To create a safe walking and cycling environment for people. 3．Which picture best shows the structure (结构) of the passage? (①=paragraph 1) A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 【导语】本文介绍自行车对环保的意义、联合国相关决议及各国推广举措，倡导绿色出行。 1．第二段说明：“It is an important step toward the concept of cycling as an important mode of transport”，结合上下文，此处指将骑行视为重要交通方式的“理念”，“concept”意为“想法/理念”，与idea同义。 2．第三段说明：“In London, large parts of the city are being closed off to cars so that people can walk and cycle safely”，目的是为人们创造安全的步行和骑行环境。 3．通读全文可知，第①段引入话题并提出自行车的环保意义；第②③段分别阐述联合国决议与各国推广举措；第④段总结并倡导骑行，为“总—分—总”结构，即①为总起，②③为分述，④为总结。 Plants are more than just pretty to look at. They give us fruits, vegetables and food we eat. Some plants even provide materials for medicine or building things. But do you know that plants can do something even more amazing? They can make our homes, schools and workplaces much healthier. We spend a large part of our days indoors. Unluckily, the air inside buildings can often be full of chemicals from many things around us. This poor air quality (质量) can make us feel sick, causing sore eyes and throats, and even making it hard for us to breathe (呼吸). The good news is that plants are like nature’s little superheroes. They have a magic power fighting against bad air. Plants breathe in carbon dioxide (CO₂) and breathe out oxygen (O₂) which we humans need to live. They add moisture (水分) to the air and help us breathe better when it’s dry. But the most amazing thing plants can do is to clean the air. Scientists found that plants can take in harmful chemicals, making the air around us safer to breathe. They set up a closed building called “bio-home” for experiments. Before they added plants, the air inside was full of chemicals and people found it hard to breathe. But after they added plants, the air got much cleaner and it became easier to breathe. To make the air inside even better, the scientists used different kinds of plants. After a while, the building wasn’t a “sick building” any more. People could go inside without feeling unwell. So you see, plants are fantastic! They are not only beautiful to look at, but also provide us with food, help create materials and play an important role in keeping us healthy. They make our indoor environment cleaner and healthier, making us feel better. Next time you see a plant, remember all the amazing things it can do for us! 1．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2? A．People spend little time staying indoors. B．Indoor air pollution is harmful to health. C．Outdoor air is much worse than indoor air. D．Old buildings have better air quality. 2．Which is a way for plants to improve the air inside buildings? A．They produce oxygen. B．They breathe out carbon dioxide. C．They make the air dry. D．They give out harmful chemicals. 3．Why does the writer mention the “bio-home” experiment? A．To show that plants can make indoor air cleaner. B．To prove that closed buildings are bad for people’s health. C．To explain how to grow different kinds of plants indoor. D．To compare the air quality in different buildings. 4．Which picture shows the change in air quality in the passage’s experiment? A． B． C． D． 5．What does the writer think of keeping plants indoors? A．Useless. B．Harmful. C．Meaningful. D．Uncertain. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．A 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要向读者介绍了植物对改善室内空气的作用与意义。 1．根据第2段“We spend a large part of our days indoors. Unluckily, the air inside buildings can often be full of chemicals from many things around us. This poor air quality ( 质量 ) can make us feel sick, causing sore eyes and throats, and even making it hard for us to breathe (呼吸).”可知，该段核心是说明室内空气污染对健康的危害。 2．根据第3段中的“They have a magic power fighting against bad air. Plants breathe in carbon dioxide (CO₂) and breathe out oxygen (O₂) which we humans need to live. They add moisture (水分) to the air and help us breathe better when it’s dry.”可知，植物通过光合作用吸收二氧化碳、释放氧气，是植物改善室内空气的方式。 3．根据第4段“But the most amazing thing plants can do is to clean the air. Scientists found that plants can take in harmful chemicals, making the air around us safer to breathe. They set up a closed building called “bio-home” for experiments. Before they added plants, the air inside was full of chemicals and people found it hard to breathe. But after they added plants, the air got much cleaner and it became easier to breathe. To make the air inside even better, the scientists used different kinds of plants. After a while, the building wasn’t a “sick building” any more. People could go inside without feeling unwell.”可知，作者提到实验的目的是证明植物可以净化空气。 4．根据第4段中的“Before they added plants, the air inside was full of chemicals and people found it hard to breathe. But after they added plants, the air got much cleaner and it became easier to breathe. To make the air inside even better, the scientists used different kinds of plants. After a while, the building wasn’t a “sick building” any more. People could go inside without feeling unwell.”添加植物前空气质量差，添加后逐渐变好，与选项B的趋势完全一致。 5．根据文章最后1段中的“So you see, plants are fantastic! They are not only beautiful to look at, but also provide us with food, help create materials and play an important role in keeping us healthy.”作者用“fantastic”和“play an important role”等表述，说明作者认为室内养植物是有意义的。 Ruth Major is 79 years old. She once worked as a teacher. She has traveled more than 500 miles around the UK with her free bus pass, to pick up rubbish. In May 2016, Ruth read an article about an activity in France encouraging people to pick up a piece of rubbish a day. She then decided to do something similar in the UK. She began traveling around using her bus pass and named her activity “Beautify Britain”. In late 2023, Ruth traveled on 59 buses from her home to Berwick-upon-Tweed, picking up rubbish along the way. She had a fantastic time. “Every place is beautiful in some ways. We can all do something to beautify our country,” says Ruth. Ruth thinks Britain is beautiful and everyone should keep it clean and tidy. As she travels in the country, she shares photos of rubbish on the Internet, saying, “We can’t allow the few to make it a mess.” For the last few years, Ruth has picked up around 100,000 pieces of rubbish and done it all for free with her bus pass. She encourages everyone to pick up a piece of rubbish every day. What’s next for Ruth? She plans to travel across the country again. And she hopes more people will join her. 1．Where did Ruth most probably work in the past? A．In a school. B．In a post office. C．In a hospital. D．In a bus company. 2．Ruth started “Beautify Britain” mainly to ________. A．get popular on the Internet B．make the UK greener C．get more visitors for the UK D．make the UK more successful 3．What’s the writer’s purpose (目的) of writing Paragraph 2? A．To introduce an activity in France. B．To encourage readers to pick up rubbish. C．To advise readers to start more similar activities. D．To tell readers how Ruth had the idea of “Beautify Britain”. 4．Ruth’s actions show the saying “________”. A．Seeing is believing B．The sooner, the better C．Every little bit helps D．Time waits for no man 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了79岁的Ruth Major利用免费公交卡环游英国捡垃圾，发起“美化英国”活动，鼓励大家每天捡一块垃圾，并计划再次环游全国，希望更多人加入。 1．文中第一段指出“She once worked as a teacher.”，说明Ruth曾经是一名教师，教师通常在学校工作，所以她过去最有可能在学校工作。 2．文中第三段指出“Ruth thinks Britain is beautiful and everyone should keep it clean and tidy.”以及她鼓励大家每天捡一块垃圾等内容可知，她发起“Beautify Britain”活动主要是为了让英国更干净，也就是更环保、更绿色，B选项“make the UK greener”符合题意。 3．第二段主要讲述了在2016年5月，Ruth读了一篇关于法国鼓励人们每天捡一块垃圾的文章后，决定在英国做类似的事情，并开始用公交卡四处旅行，还将活动命名为“Beautify Britain”。所以此段主要是告诉读者Ruth是如何有了“Beautify Britain”这个想法的，D选项符合。 4．Ruth多年来捡了大约10万块垃圾，并且鼓励大家每天捡一块垃圾，她认为每个人都可以为美化国家做些事情，这体现了Every little bit helps“积少成多；点滴都有帮助”的道理。 进阶拓展训练5篇 Forests are home to millions of species, but human activities like illegal logging (非法砍伐) and land clearing are destroying these habitats. If we don’t act soon, many plants and animals will disappear forever. However, people around the world are taking steps to protect forests — and every small effort counts. In Yunnan Province, China, local villagers once noticed that the number of black crested gibbons (黑冠长臂猿) was dropping. These rare animals depend on tall trees for food and shelter, but too many trees were being cut down. Working with an environmental group called Forest Guardian, the villagers made a rule: no one could cut trees in the gibbons’ living area. They also set up observation points to watch the gibbons and taught tourists about protecting the species. “We used to think cutting trees was the only way to make money,” said villager Mr Li. “Now we know protecting the gibbons means protecting our home too.” Another group, Green Earth, focuses on saving trees by reducing paper waste. They started a project called “Paper Cycle” in schools and offices. People collect used paper, which is then sent to factories to be recycled into new paper. This way, fewer trees need to be cut down for paper production. Last year, the project helped save more than 5,000 trees across three cities. These stories show that anyone can help protect forests. Whether it’s following a village rule or recycling paper, small actions add up. We all have a part to play in keeping the natural world alive. 1．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Tourists visiting the forest. B．Workers from Forest Guardian. C．Black crested gibbons. D．Local villagers in Yunnan. 2．What is the purpose of the “Paper Cycle” project started by Green Earth? A．To encourage people to use more paper. B．To reduce paper waste and save trees. C．To teach students how to make paper. D．To sell recycled paper to factories. 3．How many trees did the “Paper Cycle” project help save last year? A．More than 3,000. B．More than 4,000. C．More than 5,000. D．More than 6,000. 4．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 5．Which might be the best title for the passage? A．Small Steps to Protect Forests B．The Dangers of Illegal Logging C．Saving Black Crested Gibbons in Yunnan D．How to Recycle Paper for the Environment 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文介绍了森林面临的威胁，并通过两个具体案例，讲述了人们为保护森林所采取的行动，强调微小努力的重要性。 1．原文第二段提到“Working with an environmental group called Forest Guardian, the villagers made a rule... They also set up observation points to watch the gibbons”，这里的“They”指代前文提到的云南当地村民。 2．原文第三段提到“Another group, Green Earth, focuses on saving trees by reducing paper waste. They started a project called ‘Paper Cycle’... This way, fewer trees need to be cut down for paper production”，说明该项目的目的是减少纸张浪费、节约树木。 3．原文第三段提到“Last year, the project helped save more than 5,000 trees across three cities”，明确给出了项目去年拯救的树木数量。 4．文章结构为：①总述森林面临威胁及保护的重要性；②介绍云南村民保护长臂猿的案例；③介绍“Paper Cycle”回收项目的案例；④总结保护森林人人有责。结构为“总分总”。 5．全文围绕“保护森林的微小行动”展开，介绍了两个具体的保护案例，强调“small actions add up”。 The Taklamakan Desert is the biggest desert in China and the second largest moving desert in the world. It covers about 330,000 square kilometers and now has a 3,046-kilometre-long sand-blocking belt (防沙带) around it. The belt is the longest in the world and is completed by planting desert poplar trees, red willows and so on. The project of building the sand-blocking belt faces many problems. As we all know; the desert is very large. It covers about 76% of Xinjiang’s desert area, and its sand dunes (沙丘) are very tall, some reaching as high as 300 metres. So more time, money, and effort are required. The dry climate adds more challenges. There is only about 50 millimetres of rain in the desert each year, and over 4,000 millimetres of water are lost through evaporation (蒸发). Because there is not enough water, plants are hard to grow. Another problem is that the Taklamakan Desert is one of the most active areas for sandstorms in China. With these problems, finishing this sand-blocking belt is a big success. Experts say it is a great achievement in human history, and people’s hard work pays off. The sand-blocking belt protects oases (areas with water and plants in the desert) from sandstorms, improves the local environment, and supports farming. It also shows China’s strong skills in managing large environmental projects. A local farmer said he was happy about the project and hoped it would continue to help fight desertification, the process of becoming a desert. In the coming years, Xinjiang will continue to expand the sand-blocking belt to bring more desert land back to life by 2030. 1．How long is the sand-blocking belt around the Taklamakan Desert? A．330,000 square kilometres. B．3,046 km. C．300 km. 2．Which of the following is NOT a difficulty the project faces? A．The sand dunes in the desert get higher every day. B．The desert is so large that more efforts are needed. C．The desert is not wet enough for growing plants. 3．What does the underlined word “expand” mean in Paragraph 4? A．To talk more about something. B．To become greater in size, number or importance. C．To have more business to make money. 4．What’s the writer’s purpose in writing this passage? A．To discuss the problems in the Taklamakan Desert. B．To invite people to pay a visit to the Taklamakan Desert. C．To introduce the achievement in fighting desertification. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国最大沙漠——塔克拉玛干沙漠周围建成的世界最长防沙带，以及建设过程中面临的困难和取得的成就，展示了中国在治理沙漠化方面的努力与成果。 1．第一段句子“a 3,046-kilometre-long sand-blocking belt around it”指出，防沙带的长度为3046公里。 2．第二段指出，项目面临的困难包括：“more time, money, and effort are required”即“沙漠面积大”、“some reaching as high as 300 metres”即“沙丘高”、“plants are hard to grow”即“干旱缺水”。文中并未提到“沙丘每天都在变高”。 3．第四段句子“Xinjiang will continue to expand the sand-blocking belt to bring more desert land back to life by 203”指出，expand意为“扩大面积，规模或重要性”。 4．文章主要介绍了防沙带的建设成就，以及它对改善环境、保护绿洲、支持农业的作用，目的是展示中国在治理沙漠化方面的成就。 The world is full of interesting places, and Baiyangdian is one of them. Baiyangdian is a big wetland in Hebei. It has many small lakes and has grown into a large wetland area. Everything here is alive and growing. There are many plants in Baiyangdian. Tall reeds (芦苇) wave in the wind. They are like big grasses. These reeds give homes to small animals. Water lilies float on the water. Their flowers open to get sunlight. They are like little plates on the water. Lots of animals live in Baiyangdian. Fish swim in the water, just like birds fly in the sky. There are big fish and small fish. Ducks swim around to find food. They are like small boats on the water. Birds such as herons and egrets live near the water. They need Baiyangdian for food and a home. The water in Baiyangdian is very important. It’s like the life-giver here. It helps plants and animals live. When it rains, there’s more water, and everything grows better. When it’s dry, the water still keeps things alive. We people also have a link with Baiyangdian. We can visit it and enjoy nature. We should protect it, so it can stay a great place full of life. 1．What does the author compare the reeds in Baiyangdian to? A．Small boats on the water. B．Little plates on the water. C．Big grasses. D．Big trees. 2．Which picture may show the scene of Baiyangdian according to the passage? A． B． C． D． 3．What can we probably infer (推断) from the passage? A．There are no birds in Baiyangdian. B．If we don’t protect Baiyangdian, it may not be a good place. C．The water in Baiyangdian is not important. D．People can’t visit Baiyangdian. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 【导语】本文介绍河北白洋淀湿地的植物、动物与水资源，呼吁人们保护这片充满生机的地方。 1．第二段介绍芦苇的形态：“Tall reeds wave in the wind. They are like big grasses”，说明作者将芦苇比作高大的草。 2．文中描述白洋淀是拥有芦苇、睡莲、鱼类和鸟类的大型湿地，核心景观是开阔的水域；选项C的画面展现了典型的湿地湖泊风貌，与白洋淀的景观特征匹配。 3．末段说明保护的重要性：“We should protect it, so it can stay a great place full of life”，由此可以合理推断，如果不保护白洋淀，它可能无法继续成为充满生机的美好地方。 Power (能源) shortage If you visited Chengdu this summer, you might have seen a very “dark” city: no more neon lights (霓虹灯) in the streets; only a few lights on in shopping malls; people sitting in bomb shelters (防空洞) to get cool air. The city went through a big heat wave. The highest temperature reached 43.4 C! Some hydro power (水电) stations in Sichuan province do not have enough water to produce enough electricity.                           ____________ You may have recently heard the word “thermoplegia” (热射病). Many cases of death are reported to be caused by it this summer. Thermoplegia is the most serious type of sunstroke (中暑). If people stay in high temperatures for too long, the heat will damage their organs (器官) and make people feel sick, pass out or even die.                   Economic (经济的) loss Global warming is affecting people’s livelihoods (生计). A farmer from Sichuan showed in a video that the grapes he grew dried and became “raisins (葡萄干)” because of high temperatures. The loss could be around 300,000 yuan. Some animal farms also face the danger of water shortage. 1．All the news above has something to do with ________. A．health B．culture C．climate D．energy 2．What would be the best heading for the second news?

A．made a great deal of money by selling raisins B．could be very sad because of the economic loss C．lost more than 300,000 yuan D．taught people how to get good raisins 5．From the news above, we can know that ________. A．No neon lights were lit up in the streets and shopping malls in Chengdu. B．People sit in a bomb shelter to keep themselves safe. C．Thermoplegia is a serious disease all the year around. D．Farmers are greatly affected by global warming. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文讲了由于高温带来的电力短缺、热射病危害和农业经济损失。 1．通读全文可知，文章讲了由于高温导致的电力短缺、热射病和经济损失，这些都是由气候引起的，选项C的“气候”符合题意。 2．通读第二段可知，本段介绍了极端高温引起的热射病，选项B的“高温影响健康”能概括本段内容。 3．根据第一段的“Some hydro power stations in Sichuan province do not have enough water to produce enough electricity.”可知，由于电力短缺，人们被迫关灯节电，选项B的“节约电能”符合题意。 4．根据第三段的“The loss could be around 300,000 yuan.”可知，极端高温给农民造成了极大的经济损失，选项B的“由于经济损失会非常难过”符合题意。 5．根据第三段的“Global warming is affecting people’s livelihoods.”和“Some animal farms also face the danger of water shortage.”可知，全球变暖影响民生，农户农作物受损、养殖场面临缺水问题，选项D的“农民深受全球变暖的影响”符合题意。 ①The UK’s Met Office says extreme (极端的) weather is becoming common because climate change is making temperature rise. ②The Met Office is the UK’s weather service. It just released (发布) a climate report. The report says 2024 was the fourth warmest year in the UK since 1884. Recently, many parts of the UK had the third heatwave of this year. ③The Met Office also says heavy rain is becoming more common when temperature rises. Warm air can hold more water. Last September, some areas in central England had very heavy rain. A weather station at the University of Oxford recorded its wettest month since 1774. ④Studies show human daily activities cause climate change. For example, cars and planes burn fossil fuels (化石燃料) and produce greenhouse gases. These gases trap heat in the air and make temperature rise. ⑤Is climate change the only reason? Of course not. Natural events also cause extreme weather. El Niño events (厄尔尼诺事件) in the Pacific Ocean are one example. These events happen when the ocean surface becomes unusually warm. This warmth changes global weather patterns. For the UK, it can bring hotter or wetter weather, making heatwaves and heavy rain worse. ⑥Professor Liz Bentley is the head of the Royal Meteorological Society. This group helps people learn more about weather and climate. She says the UK Climate report is not only a record of changes, but also a call for action. ⑦People around the world are trying to stop climate change. Most countries agreed to the Paris Agreement made in 2015. It promises to slow global warming by cutting greenhouse gases. 1．What can we learn about the weather in the UK from the Met Office report?

Some may be a little old, but a lot of them are as good as new ones. France has come up with a new plan to encourage (鼓励) people to make their clothes last longer. The French government will pay a “repair bonus (修补奖金)” to people who get their clothes repaired at special repair shops. The bonus makes people get back up to $27 of their repair costs. The government said the plan aims (旨在) to encourage those who carry out repairs and protect the environment (环境). The plan will be run by Refashion, an organization working hard to build a greener world. About 700,000 tons of clothing is thrown away in France every year. Around two-thirds of this ends up in landfills. What’s more, the fashion industry (时尚行业) all over the world leads to between 8% and 10% of the world’s carbon emissions (碳排放) every year. The coming of fast fashion has made it worse. Fast fashion means buying cheap clothes to wear just a few times. It uses a lot of materials (材料) which are bad for the environment. Refashion also plans to encourage people to buy fewer clothes, and to give away their unwanted clothes to those who need them. ________ Besides, a third of unwanted clothes can be made into something new. 1．What do we know from the first paragraph? A．France plans to make longer clothes. B．Only broken clothes are thrown away. C．The need for clothes is growing larger. D．Many clothes should not be thrown away. 2．What’s the goal of French government’s new plan? A．To help the country save money. B．To help cut environmental problem. C．To encourage people to give away clothes. D．To encourage people to repair all their clothes. 3．How much clothing is taken to landfills in France yearly? A．About 100,000 tons. B．About 300,000 tons. C．About 500,000 tons. D．About 700,000 tons. 4．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Landfill. B．Fast fashion. C．Carbon emission. D．Fashion industry. 5．Which sentence can be put in the “________”? A．Some people are worried about nature. B．People can sell those old clothes to the poor. C．However, nobody knows who may need them. D．In this way, over half of the clothes can be reused. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文指出每年大量衣服被丢弃的现状，介绍了法国政府推出的“修补奖金”计划以鼓励人们延长衣物使用寿命，还提及法国服装垃圾填埋情况及时尚行业的碳排放问题，最后补充了Refashion鼓励人们少买衣服、捐赠衣物等其他环保计划。 1．推理判断题。根据“Some may be a little old, but a lot of them are as good as new ones.”可知，每年被扔掉的衣服中，很多还和新的一样，由此可推知许多衣服本不应该被扔掉。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“The government said the plan aims (旨在) to encourage those who carry out repairs and protect the environment (环境).”可知，法国政府新计划的目标是鼓励从事修补工作的人并保护环境，即帮助减少环境问题。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“About 700,000 tons of clothing is thrown away in France every year. Around two-thirds of this ends up in landfills.”可知，法国每年扔掉约70万吨衣服，其中约三分之二最终进入垃圾填埋场，70万的三分之二约为50万吨。故选C。 4．词句猜测题。根据“The coming of fast fashion has made it worse. Fast fashion means buying cheap clothes to wear just a few times. It uses a lot of materials (材料) which are bad for the environment.”可知，前文一直在介绍“快时尚”，此处“It”指代上文提到的“Fast fashion”。故选B。 5．推理判断题。根据“Refashion also plans to encourage people to... give away their unwanted clothes to those who need them.”和“Besides, a third of unwanted clothes can be made into something new.”可知，空格处应衔接“捐赠衣服”的行为所带来的效果，“In this way, over half of the clothes can be reused.”（通过这种方式，超过一半的衣服可以被再利用）符合语境，且与后文“三分之一的衣服可制成新东西”形成递进。故选D。 On November 28th, a great project was successfully completed in the Taklimakan Desert (塔克拉玛干沙漠). It is an amazing event in China’s history of desert control. The desert is in Xinjiang. Known as the “Sea of Death”, it is the second-largest moving desert around the world. However, near this desert, people are working hard to stop it from getting bigger. They are building a green wall called “locking the edge” (锁边). This 3046-kilometer-long wall shows China’s great experience in environmental protection. The project was filled with difficulties. Workers had to plant trees and grass in the sand in order to stop the sand from moving around. What’s more, they had to fight against strong winds and poor soil (土壤). They never thought about giving up and succeeded in planting billions of plants along the desert edges. Thanks to their hard work, the environment is much better now. The project brings many benefits. First, fewer sandstorms mean cleaner air. And animals like wild camels now have more food to eat and more places to live in. Also, it offers new jobs to local people. This green wall is not just stopping the desert from growing, but also giving hope and a greener future to the whole area. 1．Where is the Taklimakan Desert?

D．Activities. 4．What does the project bring? A．Strong winds. B．Sandstorms. C．More animals. D．New jobs. 5．Which can be the best title for the passage? A．China’s Experience of Desert Control. B．The Taklimakan Desert. C．Benefits of Desert Control. D．Taklimakan Edge-Locking Project. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．B 4．D 5．D 【导语】本文介绍了中国在塔克拉玛干沙漠实施的“锁边”生态工程，包括其背景、面临的挑战、成果及带来的益处。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“The desert is in Xinjiang.”可知，塔克拉玛干沙漠位于新疆。故选A。 2．主旨大意题。第三段主要描述了工人们如何在沙漠边缘种植草木以固定沙土，以及他们与强风和贫瘠土壤作斗争的过程，即如何建造绿色长城。故选B。 3．词句猜测题。根据第四段“The project brings many benefits.”以及下文列举的“fewer sandstorms”（更少的沙尘暴）、“more food to eat”（更多食物）、“new jobs”（新工作）等积极影响可知，“benefits”意为“益处，好处”。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据第四段“it offers new jobs to local people”可知，该项目带来了新的工作岗位。故选D。 5．主旨大意题。全文围绕塔克拉玛干沙漠的“锁边”工程展开，介绍了其位置、建设过程、面临的困难以及带来的益处，因此最佳标题为“塔克拉玛干锁边工程”。故选D。 Sunshine, beaches and coconuts (椰子)—these are why people usually go to Hainan. But more than a good place for travellers and foodies, it’s also a wonderland of plants and animals. Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park is in the south-central part of Hainan Island. It has the best-kept tropical rainforests in China. President Xi visited it in April 2023. The national park covers 4,269 square kilometres, or one-seventh of the island. More than 95 percent of the park is virgin (原始的) forest. The park is home to 3,653 species of vascular plants and 540 species of terrestrial vertebrates. The park is the only home of the world’s most endangered primate (灵长类动物)—the Hainan gibbon. It’s an uncommon species. They look like monkeys, but have no tails. They live in the trees their whole life. Every morning, they whistle loudly to mark their territory (领地). They eat fruits and leaves from more than 130 plants. The number of Hainan gibbons has become larger from fewer than 10 in the 1980s to 36 in 2022. This shows China’s achievements in environmental protection. Not just a sweet home of animals, the park is a “live museum” of amazing plants. More than 400 kinds of plants grow only in Hainan. Cycas hainanensis (海南苏铁) is a wild plant native to the island. With feather-like leaves, this plant can live to be 200 years old. If it lives in the Yangtze River Basin and North China, it grows almost without flowers or fruit. But in Hainan, Cycas hainanensis plants over 10 years old blossom (开花) and have fruit almost every year, thanks to the warm and wet weather. With so many plants and animals, the biodiversity index (指数) of the park—a number to rate species diversity—is as high as 6.28. It is comparable (可比较的) to the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil. That’s why people call the park a treasure for both China and the world. 1．Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________. A．an introduction to the Hainan gibbon B．the views of the park C．the news of the park’s opening D．details of rare plants and animals 2．What do we know about the Hainan gibbon? A．It is a monkey without a tail. B．Its voice sounds like a crying baby. C．It lives on plants and birds. D．It is a species only found in Hainan. 3．From the story, we can infer that a Cycas hainanensis plant ________. A．never blossoms and has fruit B．can only live for 10 years in Hainan C．lives better in warm and wet weather D．first blossoms when it is 10 years old 4．Which of the following may be the writer’s opinion? A．Human activities will surely hurt the rainforest. B．We must start to do something for rare species. C．China has done a great job in protecting the rainforest. D．We should compare our rainforest with the Amazon Rainforest. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文介绍了海南热带雨林国家公园。 1．主旨大意题。通读第三段可知，本段主要是对海南长臂猿的介绍。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The park is the only home of the world’s most endangered primate (灵长类动物)—the Hainan gibbon.”可知，海南长臂猿是一种只能在海南找到的物种。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段中“But in Hainan, Cycas hainanensis plants over 10 years old blossom (开花) and have fruit almost every year, thanks to the warm and wet weather.”可知，海南苏铁在温暖潮湿的环境下生长更好。故选C。 4．观点态度题。根据第三段中“The number of Hainan gibbons has become larger from fewer than 10 in the 1980s to 36 in 2022. This shows China’s achievements in environmental protection.”可知，海南长臂猿的数量从20世纪80年代的不足10只增加到2022年的36只，这表明了中国在环境保护方面取得的成就，因此作者认为中国在保护热带雨林方面做得很好。故选C。 Choose the best answer. Kid Heroes for the Planet Get inspired by reading about four young people who have taken action for Mother Earth. They’re our Kid Heroes for the Planet. Who are yours?Fighting wildfire When Reshma Kosaraju was 12, her family moved to Northern California. Soon after, one of California’s largest wildfires in history broke out. Her school was about 200 miles south of the fire, but students had to wear masks because of the smoke. This unfamiliar experience inspired her to find a solution. Reshma created a way to use artificial intelligence to predict forest fires. Her method is nearly 90% accurate. “I realized that if I could pull this off, the results could be quite helpful in saving lives and helping the environment,” said Reshma, now 17. Recycling power On his tenth birthday, Sri Nihal Tammana learned that 15 billion batteries are thrown out and end up in landfills (垃圾填埋地) each year. They pollute groundwater and harm the environment. Now 14, Nihal runs Recycle My Battery, which provides recycling bins for batteries. The organization has a team of 250 student volunteers around the world. Over the last three years, they’ve helped recycle over 260,000 batteries. Nihal has won many awards for his environmental efforts. “My biggest goal for this organization is to bring the 15 billion batteries being thrown away each year worldwide to zero,” he says. Rescue effort To help save sharks, Miles Fetherston-Resch, 10, started a nonprofit (非营利组织) called Kids Saving Oceans with his mom. Its website sells T-shirts, hats and stickers made from recycled plastic found in the ocean. So far, they’ve donated around $40,000 from the sales to support clean waterways. Miles has loved the ocean for as long as he can remember. His conservation (保护) efforts have been driven by his personal passion. “If you have an idea, go for it,” he says. “The worst thing you can do is have it not work out. And that’s not a loss.” A greener future Mia Price, 18, leads the sustainability committee (委员会) at the Kinkaid School in Houston. The committee recently met its goal of removing plastic water bottles from the school dining center. Now, Price aims to make the entire campus greener. After doing research, she put forward a proposal to the school’s leaders and building committee to install solar panels (安装太阳能电池板) and LED lightbulbs, as well as to recycle materials from the old gym. “You need to take the time to make the sustainable choice,” she says. “Sometimes, it may be a little inconvenient. But you will feel happier because, in the end, it is making a difference. 1．Reshma developed a way to predict wildfires ________.

Zero waste is a lifestyle that tries to reduce as much waste as possible in daily life. It means not using disposable things, and reusing and recycling things as much as possible. Li Mei, a 24-year-old girl from Chengdu, has been living a zero waste life for over two years. She says that she used to produce a lot of waste every day. She bought a lot of things she didn’t need, and threw away lots of packaging every time she went shopping. After she watched a documentary about plastic pollution, she decided to change her lifestyle. Now, Li Mei’s life is very different. She takes her own cloth bags, glass bottles and reusable lunch boxes when she goes shopping. She never buys disposable chopsticks, cups or bags. She makes her own cleaning products with fruit peels and vinegar, so there is no plastic packaging. She also sorts all her waste carefully. She recycles almost everything, and only produces a small jar of waste every month. Li Mei says that zero waste life is not about being perfect. It’s about taking small steps every day to reduce waste. She has opened a small shop to teach people how to live a zero waste life. She wants more people to join her, and make our world a greener and cleaner place. 1．What is “zero waste life” according to the passage? A．A lifestyle that produces no waste at all.

B．Only young people can live a zero waste life. C．Small changes in daily life can help reduce pollution. D．Zero waste life means spending less money. Our earth is in trouble. We need to make a green world. There are many easy ways to help. First, save water. Turn off the tap when you brush your teeth. Take a short shower instead of a long bath. Second, save energy. Turn off lights and TVs when you are not using them. Third, reduce waste. Use paper on both sides. Bring your own bags when shopping. Don’t buy too many single-use things. Fourth, protect trees. Don’t cut down trees. Plant a tree every year if you can. Protecting the environment is everyone’s job. Small green habits can make our earth a better place. We don’t need big changes.

Recently, a survey showed that only about 20% of the middle school students in Suzhou ride to school. In fact, a bicycle is not only a tool but also a weapon (武器) to fight against climate change. The United Nations General Assembly made a decision in 2022 to support bicycles as a tool for dealing with climate change. It calls on member states to use more bicycles. Many bicycle and environmental protection groups have supported the decision. “It is an important step toward the concept of cycling as an important mode of transport,” said the European Cyclists’ Federation. After the decision was made, many countries have done a lot to increase the use of bicycles. In May 2023, bike sales in Spain increased 22-fold (22倍) compared with 2022. That means more and more people in Spain choose bikes as their travelling tools. In London, large parts of the city are being closed off to cars so that people can walk and cycle safely. And China has some of the largest bike-sharing systems in the world, with more than 360 cities and nearly 20 million bicycles for about 47 million trips each day. It could surely be seen as a mark of China’s bike-sharing success. All in all, cycling is an environmentally friendly way to get around. Cycling instead of driving a car just once a day can reduce a person’s carbon emissions (排放) from transport. If more people choose cycling, the world will be a greener one. 1．What does the underlined word “concept” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．idea B．organization C．review D．copy 2．Why are large parts of London being closed off to cars? A．To keep the cars away from crowded places. B．To prevent too much traffic during the rush hour. C．To help driving become more popular in other cities. D．To create a safe walking and cycling environment for people. 3．Which picture best shows the structure (结构) of the passage? (①=paragraph 1) A． B． C． D． Plants are more than just pretty to look at. They give us fruits, vegetables and food we eat. Some plants even provide materials for medicine or building things. But do you know that plants can do something even more amazing? They can make our homes, schools and workplaces much healthier. We spend a large part of our days indoors. Unluckily, the air inside buildings can often be full of chemicals from many things around us. This poor air quality (质量) can make us feel sick, causing sore eyes and throats, and even making it hard for us to breathe (呼吸). The good news is that plants are like nature’s little superheroes. They have a magic power fighting against bad air. Plants breathe in carbon dioxide (CO₂) and breathe out oxygen (O₂) which we humans need to live. They add moisture (水分) to the air and help us breathe better when it’s dry. But the most amazing thing plants can do is to clean the air. Scientists found that plants can take in harmful chemicals, making the air around us safer to breathe. They set up a closed building called “bio-home” for experiments. Before they added plants, the air inside was full of chemicals and people found it hard to breathe. But after they added plants, the air got much cleaner and it became easier to breathe. To make the air inside even better, the scientists used different kinds of plants. After a while, the building wasn’t a “sick building” any more. People could go inside without feeling unwell. So you see, plants are fantastic! They are not only beautiful to look at, but also provide us with food, help create materials and play an important role in keeping us healthy. They make our indoor environment cleaner and healthier, making us feel better. Next time you see a plant, remember all the amazing things it can do for us! 1．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2? A．People spend little time staying indoors. B．Indoor air pollution is harmful to health. C．Outdoor air is much worse than indoor air. D．Old buildings have better air quality. 2．Which is a way for plants to improve the air inside buildings? A．They produce oxygen. B．They breathe out carbon dioxide. C．They make the air dry. D．They give out harmful chemicals. 3．Why does the writer mention the “bio-home” experiment? A．To show that plants can make indoor air cleaner. B．To prove that closed buildings are bad for people’s health. C．To explain how to grow different kinds of plants indoor. D．To compare the air quality in different buildings. 4．Which picture shows the change in air quality in the passage’s experiment? A． B． C． D． 5．What does the writer think of keeping plants indoors? A．Useless. B．Harmful. C．Meaningful. D．Uncertain. Ruth Major is 79 years old. She once worked as a teacher. She has traveled more than 500 miles around the UK with her free bus pass, to pick up rubbish. In May 2016, Ruth read an article about an activity in France encouraging people to pick up a piece of rubbish a day. She then decided to do something similar in the UK. She began traveling around using her bus pass and named her activity “Beautify Britain”. In late 2023, Ruth traveled on 59 buses from her home to Berwick-upon-Tweed, picking up rubbish along the way. She had a fantastic time. “Every place is beautiful in some ways. We can all do something to beautify our country,” says Ruth. Ruth thinks Britain is beautiful and everyone should keep it clean and tidy. As she travels in the country, she shares photos of rubbish on the Internet, saying, “We can’t allow the few to make it a mess.” For the last few years, Ruth has picked up around 100,000 pieces of rubbish and done it all for free with her bus pass. She encourages everyone to pick up a piece of rubbish every day. What’s next for Ruth? She plans to travel across the country again. And she hopes more people will join her. 1．Where did Ruth most probably work in the past? A．In a school. B．In a post office. C．In a hospital.

A．Seeing is believing B．The sooner, the better C．Every little bit helps D．Time waits for no man 进阶拓展训练5篇 Forests are home to millions of species, but human activities like illegal logging (非法砍伐) and land clearing are destroying these habitats. If we don’t act soon, many plants and animals will disappear forever. However, people around the world are taking steps to protect forests — and every small effort counts. In Yunnan Province, China, local villagers once noticed that the number of black crested gibbons (黑冠长臂猿) was dropping. These rare animals depend on tall trees for food and shelter, but too many trees were being cut down. Working with an environmental group called Forest Guardian, the villagers made a rule: no one could cut trees in the gibbons’ living area. They also set up observation points to watch the gibbons and taught tourists about protecting the species. “We used to think cutting trees was the only way to make money,” said villager Mr Li. “Now we know protecting the gibbons means protecting our home too.” Another group, Green Earth, focuses on saving trees by reducing paper waste. They started a project called “Paper Cycle” in schools and offices. People collect used paper, which is then sent to factories to be recycled into new paper. This way, fewer trees need to be cut down for paper production. Last year, the project helped save more than 5,000 trees across three cities. These stories show that anyone can help protect forests. Whether it’s following a village rule or recycling paper, small actions add up. We all have a part to play in keeping the natural world alive. 1．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Tourists visiting the forest. B．Workers from Forest Guardian. C．Black crested gibbons. D．Local villagers in Yunnan. 2．What is the purpose of the “Paper Cycle” project started by Green Earth? A．To encourage people to use more paper. B．To reduce paper waste and save trees. C．To teach students how to make paper. D．To sell recycled paper to factories. 3．How many trees did the “Paper Cycle” project help save last year? A．More than 3,000. B．More than 4,000. C．More than 5,000. D．More than 6,000. 4．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 5．Which might be the best title for the passage? A．Small Steps to Protect Forests B．The Dangers of Illegal Logging C．Saving Black Crested Gibbons in Yunnan D．How to Recycle Paper for the Environment The Taklamakan Desert is the biggest desert in China and the second largest moving desert in the world. It covers about 330,000 square kilometers and now has a 3,046-kilometre-long sand-blocking belt (防沙带) around it. The belt is the longest in the world and is completed by planting desert poplar trees, red willows and so on. The project of building the sand-blocking belt faces many problems. As we all know; the desert is very large. It covers about 76% of Xinjiang’s desert area, and its sand dunes (沙丘) are very tall, some reaching as high as 300 metres. So more time, money, and effort are required. The dry climate adds more challenges. There is only about 50 millimetres of rain in the desert each year, and over 4,000 millimetres of water are lost through evaporation (蒸发). Because there is not enough water, plants are hard to grow. Another problem is that the Taklamakan Desert is one of the most active areas for sandstorms in China. With these problems, finishing this sand-blocking belt is a big success. Experts say it is a great achievement in human history, and people’s hard work pays off. The sand-blocking belt protects oases (areas with water and plants in the desert) from sandstorms, improves the local environment, and supports farming. It also shows China’s strong skills in managing large environmental projects. A local farmer said he was happy about the project and hoped it would continue to help fight desertification, the process of becoming a desert. In the coming years, Xinjiang will continue to expand the sand-blocking belt to bring more desert land back to life by 2030. 1．How long is the sand-blocking belt around the Taklamakan Desert? A．330,000 square kilometres. B．3,046 km. C．300 km. 2．Which of the following is NOT a difficulty the project faces? A．The sand dunes in the desert get higher every day. B．The desert is so large that more efforts are needed. C．The desert is not wet enough for growing plants. 3．What does the underlined word “expand” mean in Paragraph 4? A．To talk more about something. B．To become greater in size, number or importance. C．To have more business to make money. 4．What’s the writer’s purpose in writing this passage? A．To discuss the problems in the Taklamakan Desert. B．To invite people to pay a visit to the Taklamakan Desert. C．To introduce the achievement in fighting desertification. The world is full of interesting places, and Baiyangdian is one of them. Baiyangdian is a big wetland in Hebei. It has many small lakes and has grown into a large wetland area. Everything here is alive and growing. There are many plants in Baiyangdian. Tall reeds (芦苇) wave in the wind. They are like big grasses. These reeds give homes to small animals. Water lilies float on the water. Their flowers open to get sunlight. They are like little plates on the water. Lots of animals live in Baiyangdian. Fish swim in the water, just like birds fly in the sky. There are big fish and small fish. Ducks swim around to find food. They are like small boats on the water. Birds such as herons and egrets live near the water. They need Baiyangdian for food and a home. The water in Baiyangdian is very important. It’s like the life-giver here. It helps plants and animals live. When it rains, there’s more water, and everything grows better. When it’s dry, the water still keeps things alive. We people also have a link with Baiyangdian. We can visit it and enjoy nature. We should protect it, so it can stay a great place full of life. 1．What does the author compare the reeds in Baiyangdian to? A．Small boats on the water. B．Little plates on the water. C．Big grasses. D．Big trees. 2．Which picture may show the scene of Baiyangdian according to the passage? A． B． C． D． 3．What can we probably infer (推断) from the passage? A．There are no birds in Baiyangdian. B．If we don’t protect Baiyangdian, it may not be a good place. C．The water in Baiyangdian is not important. D．People can’t visit Baiyangdian. Power (能源) shortage If you visited Chengdu this summer, you might have seen a very “dark” city: no more neon lights (霓虹灯) in the streets; only a few lights on in shopping malls; people sitting in bomb shelters (防空洞) to get cool air. The city went through a big heat wave. The highest temperature reached 43.4 C! Some hydro power (水电) stations in Sichuan province do not have enough water to produce enough electricity.                           ____________ You may have recently heard the word “thermoplegia” (热射病). Many cases of death are reported to be caused by it this summer. Thermoplegia is the most serious type of sunstroke (中暑). If people stay in high temperatures for too long, the heat will damage their organs (器官) and make people feel sick, pass out or even die.                   Economic (经济的) loss Global warming is affecting people’s livelihoods (生计). A farmer from Sichuan showed in a video that the grapes he grew dried and became “raisins (葡萄干)” because of high temperatures. The loss could be around 300,000 yuan. Some animal farms also face the danger of water shortage. 1．All the news above has something to do with ________. A．health B．culture C．climate D．energy 2．What would be the best heading for the second news? A．Protect your organs B．Heat harms health C．Get away from the heat wave D．The result of sunstroke 3．According to the first news, what is the purpose of being “dark” in Chengdu? A．To make people go to the bomb shelters. B．To save power. C．To stop people getting sunstroke. D．To repair the hydro power station. 4．We can infer from the last news that the farmer ________. A．made a great deal of money by selling raisins B．could be very sad because of the economic loss C．lost more than 300,000 yuan D．taught people how to get good raisins 5．From the news above, we can know that ________. A．No neon lights were lit up in the streets and shopping malls in Chengdu. B．People sit in a bomb shelter to keep themselves safe. C．Thermoplegia is a serious disease all the year around. D．Farmers are greatly affected by global warming. ①The UK’s Met Office says extreme (极端的) weather is becoming common because climate change is making temperature rise. ②The Met Office is the UK’s weather service. It just released (发布) a climate report. The report says 2024 was the fourth warmest year in the UK since 1884. Recently, many parts of the UK had the third heatwave of this year. ③The Met Office also says heavy rain is becoming more common when temperature rises. Warm air can hold more water. Last September, some areas in central England had very heavy rain. A weather station at the University of Oxford recorded its wettest month since 1774. ④Studies show human daily activities cause climate change. For example, cars and planes burn fossil fuels (化石燃料) and produce greenhouse gases. These gases trap heat in the air and make temperature rise. ⑤Is climate change the only reason? Of course not. Natural events also cause extreme weather. El Niño events (厄尔尼诺事件) in the Pacific Ocean are one example. These events happen when the ocean surface becomes unusually warm. This warmth changes global weather patterns. For the UK, it can bring hotter or wetter weather, making heatwaves and heavy rain worse. ⑥Professor Liz Bentley is the head of the Royal Meteorological Society. This group helps people learn more about weather and climate. She says the UK Climate report is not only a record of changes, but also a call for action. ⑦People around the world are trying to stop climate change. Most countries agreed to the Paris Agreement made in 2015. It promises to slow global warming by cutting greenhouse gases. 1．What can we learn about the weather in the UK from the Met Office report? A．Extreme rainfall only happens in central England. B．Last September was the wettest month since 1774. C．2024 was the fourth warmest year in the UK since 1884. D．The northern part of the UK is drier than its central part. 2．Which sentence uses “global” with the same meaning as the underlined word? global/ˈɡləʊbəl/ adj. ①全球的 ②全面的 ③总体而言，整体的 A．We need a global view of the problem. B．The teacher gave us a global summary of the history lesson. C．English is a global language. D．We must consider the global of the plan. 3．What is the purpose of the UK Climate report according to Liz Bentley? A．To record the weather changes in the UK. B．To show people how the weather changes. C．To explain the reasons why climate change happens. D．To call on people to take actions against climate change. 4．Which of the following shows the best structure for this passage? A． B． C． D． 能力综合实践5篇 Nowadays a large number of clothes are thrown away every year. Some may be a little old, but a lot of them are as good as new ones. France has come up with a new plan to encourage (鼓励) people to make their clothes last longer. The French government will pay a “repair bonus (修补奖金)” to people who get their clothes repaired at special repair shops. The bonus makes people get back up to $27 of their repair costs. The government said the plan aims (旨在) to encourage those who carry out repairs and protect the environment (环境). The plan will be run by Refashion, an organization working hard to build a greener world. About 700,000 tons of clothing is thrown away in France every year. Around two-thirds of this ends up in landfills. What’s more, the fashion industry (时尚行业) all over the world leads to between 8% and 10% of the world’s carbon emissions (碳排放) every year. The coming of fast fashion has made it worse. Fast fashion means buying cheap clothes to wear just a few times. It uses a lot of materials (材料) which are bad for the environment. Refashion also plans to encourage people to buy fewer clothes, and to give away their unwanted clothes to those who need them. ________ Besides, a third of unwanted clothes can be made into something new. 1．What do we know from the first paragraph? A．France plans to make longer clothes. B．Only broken clothes are thrown away. C．The need for clothes is growing larger. D．Many clothes should not be thrown away. 2．What’s the goal of French government’s new plan? A．To help the country save money. B．To help cut environmental problem. C．To encourage people to give away clothes. D．To encourage people to repair all their clothes. 3．How much clothing is taken to landfills in France yearly? A．About 100,000 tons. B．About 300,000 tons. C．About 500,000 tons. D．About 700,000 tons. 4．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Landfill. B．Fast fashion. C．Carbon emission. D．Fashion industry. 5．Which sentence can be put in the “________”? A．Some people are worried about nature. B．People can sell those old clothes to the poor. C．However, nobody knows who may need them. D．In this way, over half of the clothes can be reused. On November 28th, a great project was successfully completed in the Taklimakan Desert (塔克拉玛干沙漠). It is an amazing event in China’s history of desert control. The desert is in Xinjiang. Known as the “Sea of Death”, it is the second-largest moving desert around the world. However, near this desert, people are working hard to stop it from getting bigger. They are building a green wall called “locking the edge” (锁边). This 3046-kilometer-long wall shows China’s great experience in environmental protection. The project was filled with difficulties. Workers had to plant trees and grass in the sand in order to stop the sand from moving around. What’s more, they had to fight against strong winds and poor soil (土壤). They never thought about giving up and succeeded in planting billions of plants along the desert edges. Thanks to their hard work, the environment is much better now. The project brings many benefits. First, fewer sandstorms mean cleaner air. And animals like wild camels now have more food to eat and more places to live in. Also, it offers new jobs to local people. This green wall is not just stopping the desert from growing, but also giving hope and a greener future to the whole area. 1．Where is the Taklimakan Desert? A．In Xinjiang. B．In Xizang. C．In Gansu. D．In Qinghai. 2．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．When people finished locking the edge. B．How people built the green wall. C．What people did to fight against bad weather. D．Why people worked on the project. 3．What does the underlined word “benefits” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Accidents. B．Advantages. C．Adventures. D．Activities. 4．What does the project bring? A．Strong winds. B．Sandstorms. C．More animals. D．New jobs. 5．Which can be the best title for the passage? A．China’s Experience of Desert Control. B．The Taklimakan Desert. C．Benefits of Desert Control. D．Taklimakan Edge-Locking Project. Sunshine, beaches and coconuts (椰子)—these are why people usually go to Hainan. But more than a good place for travellers and foodies, it’s also a wonderland of plants and animals. Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park is in the south-central part of Hainan Island. It has the best-kept tropical rainforests in China. President Xi visited it in April 2023. The national park covers 4,269 square kilometres, or one-seventh of the island. More than 95 percent of the park is virgin (原始的) forest. The park is home to 3,653 species of vascular plants and 540 species of terrestrial vertebrates. The park is the only home of the world’s most endangered primate (灵长类动物)—the Hainan gibbon. It’s an uncommon species. They look like monkeys, but have no tails. They live in the trees their whole life. Every morning, they whistle loudly to mark their territory (领地). They eat fruits and leaves from more than 130 plants. The number of Hainan gibbons has become larger from fewer than 10 in the 1980s to 36 in 2022. This shows China’s achievements in environmental protection. Not just a sweet home of animals, the park is a “live museum” of amazing plants. More than 400 kinds of plants grow only in Hainan. Cycas hainanensis (海南苏铁) is a wild plant native to the island. With feather-like leaves, this plant can live to be 200 years old. If it lives in the Yangtze River Basin and North China, it grows almost without flowers or fruit. But in Hainan, Cycas hainanensis plants over 10 years old blossom (开花) and have fruit almost every year, thanks to the warm and wet weather. With so many plants and animals, the biodiversity index (指数) of the park—a number to rate species diversity—is as high as 6.28. It is comparable (可比较的) to the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil. That’s why people call the park a treasure for both China and the world. 1．Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________. A．an introduction to the Hainan gibbon B．the views of the park C．the news of the park’s opening D．details of rare plants and animals 2．What do we know about the Hainan gibbon? A．It is a monkey without a tail. B．Its voice sounds like a crying baby. C．It lives on plants and birds. D．It is a species only found in Hainan. 3．From the story, we can infer that a Cycas hainanensis plant ________. A．never blossoms and has fruit B．can only live for 10 years in Hainan C．lives better in warm and wet weather D．first blossoms when it is 10 years old 4．Which of the following may be the writer’s opinion? A．Human activities will surely hurt the rainforest. B．We must start to do something for rare species. C．China has done a great job in protecting the rainforest. D．We should compare our rainforest with the Amazon Rainforest. Choose the best answer. Kid Heroes for the Planet Get inspired by reading about four young people who have taken action for Mother Earth. They’re our Kid Heroes for the Planet. Who are yours?Fighting wildfire When Reshma Kosaraju was 12, her family moved to Northern California. Soon after, one of California’s largest wildfires in history broke out. Her school was about 200 miles south of the fire, but students had to wear masks because of the smoke. This unfamiliar experience inspired her to find a solution. Reshma created a way to use artificial intelligence to predict forest fires. Her method is nearly 90% accurate. “I realized that if I could pull this off, the results could be quite helpful in saving lives and helping the environment,” said Reshma, now 17. Recycling power On his tenth birthday, Sri Nihal Tammana learned that 15 billion batteries are thrown out and end up in landfills (垃圾填埋地) each year. They pollute groundwater and harm the environment. Now 14, Nihal runs Recycle My Battery, which provides recycling bins for batteries. The organization has a team of 250 student volunteers around the world. Over the last three years, they’ve helped recycle over 260,000 batteries. Nihal has won many awards for his environmental efforts. “My biggest goal for this organization is to bring the 15 billion batteries being thrown away each year worldwide to zero,” he says. Rescue effort To help save sharks, Miles Fetherston-Resch, 10, started a nonprofit (非营利组织) called Kids Saving Oceans with his mom. Its website sells T-shirts, hats and stickers made from recycled plastic found in the ocean. So far, they’ve donated around $40,000 from the sales to support clean waterways. Miles has loved the ocean for as long as he can remember. His conservation (保护) efforts have been driven by his personal passion. “If you have an idea, go for it,” he says. “The worst thing you can do is have it not work out. And that’s not a loss.” A greener future Mia Price, 18, leads the sustainability committee (委员会) at the Kinkaid School in Houston. The committee recently met its goal of removing plastic water bottles from the school dining center. Now, Price aims to make the entire campus greener. After doing research, she put forward a proposal to the school’s leaders and building committee to install solar panels (安装太阳能电池板) and LED lightbulbs, as well as to recycle materials from the old gym. “You need to take the time to make the sustainable choice,” she says. “Sometimes, it may be a little inconvenient. But you will feel happier because, in the end, it is making a difference. 1．Reshma developed a way to predict wildfires ________.

A．quite simple B．still painful C．very worthwhile D．increasingly popular Nail Art Made from Plastic WasteNaomi Arimoto, a Japanese nail artist, loves creating nail art using plastic waste. She often collects tiny pieces of plastic from a Tokyo beach and turns them into decorations, inspired by a community clean-up event by the coast, she wants people to care about ocean pollution (污染). When people see plastic on their nails, they start to think about environmental problems. Her special nail art not only makes nails look nice but also helps spread the idea of protecting the ocean. Learning Old CharactersStudents in Anyang, Henan, find it really interesting to learn the oracle bone script (甲骨文). At Feixiang Middle School, they practice “oracle bone gymnastics” outdoors. Each move shows an ancient character—bending knees shows “people”, and moving fingers forms “dance”. In the classroom, they also learn to write the characters and make rubbings (拓印). Through these activities, they not only have fun but also get to know China’s ancient culture better. Many students now see learning this old writing as a special and meaningful hobby. __________ Students in Qingdao, Shandong, have a special hobby—hiking while picking up rubbish. Every weekend, they wear sportswear, carry trash bags, and walk along coastal trails or mountain paths. They collect litter like plastic bottles and sort them into recycling bins. Inspired by their teachers’ environmental lessons, this hobby lets them enjoy fresh air and exercise, and teaches them to protect the environment. More classmates join in, making it popular at school. 1．In which SECTION of the newspaper can we read the news? A．ART &CULTURE. B．SCIENCE & TECH. C．SPORTS & HEALTH.
