B Around the world, many countries are trying simple but useful ways to protect the environment and build a better home for all living things. Here are three great green examples from different parts of the world. In the Netherlands(荷兰), the city of Groningen once had serious traffic jams and air pollution because there are more and more cars. The city government replaced old motorways with beautiful green areas, wide bike lanes(小路) and relaxing public squares. Cars were strictly stopped from entering the city centre. At first, local shop owners worried they would lose customers, but their business soon became even better. Today, 61% of trips here are by bike, and Groningen has the cleanest air among all big Dutch cities. ▲ Many families used open fires for cooking and heating. The thick smoke made people ill and wasted precious wood. As the wood is not easy to get, a special clean stove (火炉) was invented. It uses much less wood and keeps indoor air fresh. Health studies show it can cut lung infections (传染) by 30% and eye infections by 50%. In Ecuador, the Yaguas River nature park is home to many lovely animals. But human activities put some species in danger. The Sumac Muyu Foundation set up camera traps(陷阱) to record and study animal behavior. These smart tools help protect the park from harmful projects. These small actions play a big role in saving wild animals and their living environment. ( )26. Why did Groningen have serious traffic jams and air pollution? A.

In China, more people take buses to work instead of driving cars. ( )28. What does the underlined word “precious” probably mean in English? A. Harmful. B. Common. C. Valuable. D. Terrible. ( )29.

Next Friday, our school will hold a themed activity called “Tradition Meets Technology” in the school hall. It is open to all the students and teachers. The activity is designed to connect our rich culture with modern technology in three creative ways. First and foremost, we will use AI tools to write poems in traditional Chinese styles. This allows us to explore the beauty of ancient poetry with the help of technology. Second, we will experience “talking to ancient people” via VR, which makes history very interesting. What’s more, we will use 3D printers to print some paper-cuttings, because it will give this old folk art a new life. All in all, this activity is really meaningful. Not only can it help us broaden our horizons, but also we can know more about our traditions through technology. It’s a perfect mix of the old and the new. I’m looking forward to it!
