Chen Xiaoyu never thought much about the environment until one day when she could not see the sky because of the thick smog. That day, she decided to learn more about pollution and find out what she could do to help. She started by reading articles about environmental issues and attending presentations organized by local environmental groups.
Through her research, Chen Xiaoyu learned that household waste was a bigger problem than she had imagined. When waste is not sorted, recyclable materials are buried in landfills along with hazardous items like batteries and paint cans. This not only wastes valuable resources but also pollutes the soil and groundwater. She realized that garbage sorting was something everyone could and should do.
Chen Xiaoyu began by making changes to her own lifestyle. She bought reusable bags and stopped using single-use plastics. She set up four dustbins at home for wet, dry, recyclable, and hazardous waste. She also started using public transportation instead of driving, which helped reduce vehicle emissions. Her family was initially resistant, but after she explained the benefits, they gradually joined her efforts.
Not satisfied with just personal changes, Chen Xiaoyu decided to take her message to a wider audience. She organized a community garbage sorting workshop and invited an environmental expert to give a presentation. Over 50 residents attended the first session. She also created a neighborhood exchange program where people could share reusable items instead of buying new ones. Within six months, the community's waste recycling rate doubled.
Today, Chen Xiaoyu is recognized as one of the most active environmental volunteers in her district. She often says, “Many people think environmental protection is the government’s job, but it is actually something we all share. When each of us takes responsibility for our own waste, we are making our city cleaner and our future brighter.” Her story shows that one person’s determination can inspire a whole community.
21. What made Chen Xiaoyu start caring about the environment?
A. She could not see the sky because of the thick smog.
B. Her teacher told her to study pollution.
C. She read a book about climate change.
D. Her friends invited her to a clean-up event.
【答案】A
【详解】本题为细节理解题。根据第一段"could not see the sky because of the thick smog"可知A项正确。
22. What did Chen Xiaoyu discover about household waste?
A. Household waste is easy to manage.
B. Most waste is already recycled.
C. Household waste does not cause pollution.
D. Unsorted waste wastes resources and pollutes the soil and groundwater.
【答案】D
【详解】本题为细节理解题。根据第二段"wastes valuable resources but also pollutes the soil and groundwater"可知D项正确。
23. How did Chen Xiaoyu's family react to her garbage sorting efforts at first?
A. They immediately supported her.
B. They refused to participate entirely.
C. They were initially resistant but gradually joined.
D. They moved to a different neighborhood.
【答案】C
【详解】本题为细节理解题。根据第三段"initially resistant, but...gradually joined her efforts"可知C项正确。
24. What happened within six months of Chen Xiaoyu's community workshop?
A. The community's waste recycling rate doubled.
B. The workshop was canceled due to lack of interest.
C. Chen Xiaoyu moved to another district.
D. The community stopped sorting garbage.
【答案】A
【详解】本题为细节理解题。根据第四段"recycling rate doubled"可知A项正确。
25. What message does Chen Xiaoyu's story convey?
A. Environmental protection is too difficult for ordinary people.
B. Only experts can solve pollution problems.
C. One person's determination can inspire a whole community to protect the environment.
D. Community workshops are not effective.
【答案】C
【详解】本题为主旨大意题。全文通过陈小宇的个人行动带动整个社区,C项"一个人的决心可以激励整个社区保护环境"概括最准确。
C
The concept of zero waste is gaining popularity around the world as more people become aware of the serious environmental consequences of waste pollution. Zero waste means trying to send as little garbage as possible to landfills by reducing consumption, reusing items, and recycling everything that can be recycled.
Bea Johnson, a French-American woman living in California, is one of the pioneers of the zero waste lifestyle. She and her family produce only one small jar of waste per year. How do they achieve this? They follow five simple principles: refuse what they do not need, reduce what they do need, reuse what they consume, recycle what they cannot refuse or reuse, and rot (compost) the rest.
In China, the zero waste movement is also growing. Several zero waste stores have opened in major cities, selling household items without plastic packaging. Customers bring their own containers and buy only the amount they need. Some restaurants have started offering discounts to customers who bring their own reusable cups and bowls. These small changes may seem insignificant, but they add up to make a real difference.
Critics argue that the zero waste lifestyle is too extreme and impractical for most people. They point out that not everyone has access to zero waste stores or can afford environment-friendly products, which tend to be more expensive. However, supporters believe that the goal is not perfection but progress. “You do not have to be perfect to make a difference,” said one zero waste advocate. “Even small changes, like sorting your garbage or using a reusable bag, are steps in the right direction.”
Environmental experts agree that while zero waste may not be achievable for everyone, the mindset it promotes—being more conscious about what we consume and what we throw away—is something we all should adopt. As our planet faces increasingly serious pollution challenges, every effort to reduce waste counts.
26. What does "zero waste" mean according to the passage?
A. Producing no waste at all.
B. Trying to send as little garbage as possible to landfills.
C. Throwing everything into landfills.
D. Recycling only paper and plastic.
【答案】B

B. Several large bags.
C. Only one small jar.
D. About 50 kilograms.
【答案】C
【详解】本题为细节理解题。根据第二段"only one small jar of waste per year"可知C项正确。
28. What do zero waste stores in China allow customers to do?
A. Buy products in plastic packaging.
B. Get free products without paying.
C. Throw away their old containers.
D. Bring their own containers and buy only what they need.
【答案】D
【详解】本题为细节理解题。根据第三段"bring their own containers and buy only the amount they need"可知D项正确。
29. What do critics say about the zero waste lifestyle?

Electronic waste, or e-waste, is becoming one of the fastest-growing environmental problems in the world. As technology develops rapidly, people replace their smartphones, computers, and other electronic devices more frequently than ever before. In 2024 alone, the world generated over 60 million tons of e-waste, and only about 20 percent of it was properly recycled.
The problem with e-waste is that it contains hazardous materials such as lead, mercury, and cadmium. When old electronics are dumped in landfills, these toxic substances can leak into the soil and groundwater, causing serious pollution. In some developing countries, e-waste is burned to extract valuable metals, which releases harmful gases into the air and creates smoggy conditions in nearby communities.
China is the world's largest producer of e-waste, generating about 10 million tons each year. To deal with this problem, the Chinese government has established a nationwide e-waste recycling system. Certified recycling centers collect old electronics, safely extract valuable materials like gold and copper, and properly dispose of hazardous components. Some cities have also set up special collection points where residents can drop off their old devices for free.
However, the current recycling rate for e-waste in China is still only about 30 percent. Many people continue to throw their old electronics into regular dustbins because they do not know about the recycling system or find it inconvenient. Some small, unlicensed workshops also collect e-waste and process it in unsafe ways, causing environmental damage and health risks for workers.
Experts emphasize that solving the e-waste problem requires action from everyone. “Proper e-waste recycling is something important that we all should be responsible for,” said Dr. Zhao, an environmental researcher. “Manufacturers should design products that are easier to recycle, governments should enforce stricter regulations, and consumers should make more environment-friendly choices—like keeping their devices longer and recycling them properly when they are no longer usable.”
31. How much e-waste was generated worldwide in 2024?
A. About 20 million tons.
B. About 30 million tons.
C. About 50 million tons.
D. Over 60 million tons.
【答案】D
【详解】本题为细节理解题。根据第一段"over 60 million tons"可知D项正确。
32. Why is e-waste particularly dangerous?
A. It contains hazardous materials that can pollute soil and groundwater.
B. It is too heavy to move.
C. It only affects wealthy countries.
D. It cannot be recycled at all.
【答案】A
【详解】本题为细节理解题。根据第二段"contains hazardous materials...leak into the soil and groundwater"可知A项正确。
33. How much e-waste does China produce each year?
A. About 5 million tons.
B. About 10 million tons.
C. About 20 million tons.
D. About 30 million tons.
【答案】B
【详解】本题为细节理解题。根据第三段"generating about 10 million tons each year"可知B项正确。
34. What is the current recycling rate for e-waste in China?
A. About 50 percent.
B. About 20 percent.
C. About 60 percent.
D. About 30 percent.
【答案】D
【详解】本题为细节理解题。根据第四段"still only about 30 percent"可知D项正确。
35. According to Dr. Zhao, what should consumers do to help solve the e-waste problem?
A. Keep their devices longer and recycle them properly.
B. Buy more electronic devices each year.
C. Throw old devices into regular dustbins.
D. Burn old electronics to extract metals.
【答案】A
【详解】本题为细节理解题。根据末段"keeping their devices longer and recycling them properly"可知A项正确。

【参考范文】
Last Friday, our school organized an environmental protection campaign at the school auditorium. The theme was "Doing Our Part for the Environment." As a volunteer, I helped set up the presentation on garbage sorting and distributed reusable bags to students. I also explained how to sort household waste into wet, dry, recyclable, and hazardous categories. Over 200 students attended the event, and many of them asked questions about how to deal with hazardous waste like old batteries. This experience made me realize that protecting the environment is something important we all should be responsible for. I suggest that every student start making small changes—use public transportation, carry reusable bags, and sort garbage properly. Together, we can make our city greener and cleaner.

Chen Xiaoyu never thought much about the environment until one day when she could not see the sky because of the thick smog. That day, she decided to learn more about pollution and find out what she could do to help. She started by reading articles about environmental issues and attending presentations organized by local environmental groups.
Through her research, Chen Xiaoyu learned that household waste was a bigger problem than she had imagined. When waste is not sorted, recyclable materials are buried in landfills along with hazardous items like batteries and paint cans. This not only wastes valuable resources but also pollutes the soil and groundwater. She realized that garbage sorting was something everyone could and should do.
Chen Xiaoyu began by making changes to her own lifestyle. She bought reusable bags and stopped using single-use plastics. She set up four dustbins at home for wet, dry, recyclable, and hazardous waste. She also started using public transportation instead of driving, which helped reduce vehicle emissions. Her family was initially resistant, but after she explained the benefits, they gradually joined her efforts.
Not satisfied with just personal changes, Chen Xiaoyu decided to take her message to a wider audience. She organized a community garbage sorting workshop and invited an environmental expert to give a presentation. Over 50 residents attended the first session. She also created a neighborhood exchange program where people could share reusable items instead of buying new ones. Within six months, the community's waste recycling rate doubled.
Today, Chen Xiaoyu is recognized as one of the most active environmental volunteers in her district. She often says, “Many people think environmental protection is the government’s job, but it is actually something we all share. When each of us takes responsibility for our own waste, we are making our city cleaner and our future brighter.” Her story shows that one person’s determination can inspire a whole community.
21. What made Chen Xiaoyu start caring about the environment?
A. She could not see the sky because of the thick smog.
B. Her teacher told her to study pollution.
C. She read a book about climate change.
D. Her friends invited her to a clean-up event.
22. What did Chen Xiaoyu discover about household waste?
A. Household waste is easy to manage.
B. Most waste is already recycled.
C. Household waste does not cause pollution.
D. Unsorted waste wastes resources and pollutes the soil and groundwater.
23. How did Chen Xiaoyu's family react to her garbage sorting efforts at first?
A. They immediately supported her.
B. They refused to participate entirely.
C. They were initially resistant but gradually joined.
D. They moved to a different neighborhood.
24. What happened within six months of Chen Xiaoyu's community workshop?
A. The community's waste recycling rate doubled.
B. The workshop was canceled due to lack of interest.
C. Chen Xiaoyu moved to another district.
D. The community stopped sorting garbage.
25. What message does Chen Xiaoyu's story convey?
A. Environmental protection is too difficult for ordinary people.
B. Only experts can solve pollution problems.
C. One person's determination can inspire a whole community to protect the environment.
D. Community workshops are not effective.
C
The concept of zero waste is gaining popularity around the world as more people become aware of the serious environmental consequences of waste pollution. Zero waste means trying to send as little garbage as possible to landfills by reducing consumption, reusing items, and recycling everything that can be recycled.
Bea Johnson, a French-American woman living in California, is one of the pioneers of the zero waste lifestyle. She and her family produce only one small jar of waste per year. How do they achieve this? They follow five simple principles: refuse what they do not need, reduce what they do need, reuse what they consume, recycle what they cannot refuse or reuse, and rot (compost) the rest.
In China, the zero waste movement is also growing. Several zero waste stores have opened in major cities, selling household items without plastic packaging. Customers bring their own containers and buy only the amount they need. Some restaurants have started offering discounts to customers who bring their own reusable cups and bowls. These small changes may seem insignificant, but they add up to make a real difference.
Critics argue that the zero waste lifestyle is too extreme and impractical for most people. They point out that not everyone has access to zero waste stores or can afford environment-friendly products, which tend to be more expensive. However, supporters believe that the goal is not perfection but progress. “You do not have to be perfect to make a difference,” said one zero waste advocate. “Even small changes, like sorting your garbage or using a reusable bag, are steps in the right direction.”
Environmental experts agree that while zero waste may not be achievable for everyone, the mindset it promotes—being more conscious about what we consume and what we throw away—is something we all should adopt. As our planet faces increasingly serious pollution challenges, every effort to reduce waste counts.
26. What does "zero waste" mean according to the passage?
A. Producing no waste at all.

28. What do zero waste stores in China allow customers to do?
A. Buy products in plastic packaging.
B. Get free products without paying.
C. Throw away their old containers.
D. Bring their own containers and buy only what they need.
29. What do critics say about the zero waste lifestyle?
A. It is the only way to protect the environment.
B. It is easy for everyone to follow.
C. It is too extreme and impractical for most people.
D. It should be required by law.
30. What does the passage suggest about protecting the environment?

Electronic waste, or e-waste, is becoming one of the fastest-growing environmental problems in the world. As technology develops rapidly, people replace their smartphones, computers, and other electronic devices more frequently than ever before. In 2024 alone, the world generated over 60 million tons of e-waste, and only about 20 percent of it was properly recycled.
The problem with e-waste is that it contains hazardous materials such as lead, mercury, and cadmium. When old electronics are dumped in landfills, these toxic substances can leak into the soil and groundwater, causing serious pollution. In some developing countries, e-waste is burned to extract valuable metals, which releases harmful gases into the air and creates smoggy conditions in nearby communities.
China is the world's largest producer of e-waste, generating about 10 million tons each year. To deal with this problem, the Chinese government has established a nationwide e-waste recycling system. Certified recycling centers collect old electronics, safely extract valuable materials like gold and copper, and properly dispose of hazardous components. Some cities have also set up special collection points where residents can drop off their old devices for free.
However, the current recycling rate for e-waste in China is still only about 30 percent. Many people continue to throw their old electronics into regular dustbins because they do not know about the recycling system or find it inconvenient. Some small, unlicensed workshops also collect e-waste and process it in unsafe ways, causing environmental damage and health risks for workers.
Experts emphasize that solving the e-waste problem requires action from everyone. “Proper e-waste recycling is something important that we all should be responsible for,” said Dr. Zhao, an environmental researcher. “Manufacturers should design products that are easier to recycle, governments should enforce stricter regulations, and consumers should make more environment-friendly choices—like keeping their devices longer and recycling them properly when they are no longer usable.”
31. How much e-waste was generated worldwide in 2024?
A. About 20 million tons.
B. About 30 million tons.
C. About 50 million tons.
D. Over 60 million tons.
32. Why is e-waste particularly dangerous?
A. It contains hazardous materials that can pollute soil and groundwater.
B. It is too heavy to move.
C. It only affects wealthy countries.
D. It cannot be recycled at all.
33. How much e-waste does China produce each year?
A. About 5 million tons.
B. About 10 million tons.
C. About 20 million tons.
D. About 30 million tons.
34. What is the current recycling rate for e-waste in China?
A. About 50 percent.
B. About 20 percent.
C. About 60 percent.
D. About 30 percent.
35. According to Dr. Zhao, what should consumers do to help solve the e-waste problem?
A. Keep their devices longer and recycle them properly.
B. Buy more electronic devices each year.
C. Throw old devices into regular dustbins.
D. Burn old electronics to extract metals.
