V. Reading comprehension. (34分)
A. Read and choose the best answer. (5分)
Host: Welcome to Eco Voice. Today we are joined by Dr Kim, an environmental scientist who has been studying plastic pollution for 20 years. Dr Kim, how serious is the plastic problem?
Dr Kim: It is more serious than most people realise. We have produced over 8 billion tons of plastic since the 1950s, and only 9 percent has been recycled. The rest is in landfills or the environment. If we continue at this rate, there will be 12 billion tons of plastic waste by 2050.
Host: That is shocking. What can be done about it?
Dr Kim: Several solutions are being developed. Some scientists are working on bacteria that can eat plastic. Others are creating new materials that decompose naturally. But the most effective solution is to reduce our use of plastic in the first place. Prevention is always better than cure.
Host: What can ordinary people do?
Dr Kim: A lot. Bring your own bags, refuse single-use plastics, and support companies that use sustainable packaging. If enough people make these choices, the demand for plastic will decrease, and the industry will be forced to change. Never underestimate the power of consumer choices.
21. What percentage of all plastic has been recycled since the 1950s?
A. 50 percent. B. 9 percent. C. 25 percent. D. 80 percent.
[答案] 21. B
22. What does Dr Kim say is the most effective solution?
A. Developing new technology. B. Reducing our use of plastic.
C. Recycling everything. D. Burning plastic waste.
[答案] 22. B
23. What example of a scientific solution does Dr Kim mention?
A. Robots that collect plastic.
B. Bacteria that can eat plastic.
C. Ships that filter ocean water.
D. Drones that monitor pollution.
[答案] 23. B
24. How can consumer choices help according to Dr Kim?
A. They have no real effect.
B. If enough people choose sustainable options, the industry will change.
C. Only governments can make a difference.
D. Consumer choices only affect prices.
[答案] 24. B
25. What is the main message of the interview?
A. Plastic pollution is not a serious issue.
B. Individuals, scientists, and governments all have a role in solving plastic pollution.
C. Technology will solve everything.
D. We should stop using all plastic immediately.
[答案] 25. B
B. Read and choose the best answer. (5分)
1.Imagine a world where the air is clean, the oceans are free of plastic, and cities are powered entirely by renewable energy. This may sound like a dream, but with enough effort, it could become our reality. The key lies in the actions we take today.
2.One promising development is the rise of circular economy. In a circular economy, nothing is wasted. Products are designed to be reused, repaired, or recycled. This is very different from our current linear economy, where we take resources, make products, use them, and then throw them away. The transition to a circular economy will not happen overnight. It will require new laws, new technologies, and a change in mindset.
3.Another important area of progress is green technology. Solar panels and wind turbines are becoming cheaper and more efficient. Electric vehicles are being adopted at an increasing rate. In some countries, new buildings are required to be carbon neutral. These changes, if continued, will significantly reduce our impact on the environment.
4.However, technology and laws are only part of the solution. Individual actions matter too. The choices we make every day what we buy, how we travel, what we eat all have an environmental impact. If everyone made small changes, the collective effect would be enormous.
5.In conclusion, the fight against pollution is not hopeless. With a combination of technological innovation, government action, and individual responsibility, a sustainable future is within our reach. The question is not whether we can solve these problems, but whether we will.
26. What is the main difference between a circular economy and a linear economy?
A. A circular economy is cheaper.
B. In a circular economy, products are reused, repaired, or recycled.
C. A circular economy uses more resources.
D. A circular economy is the same as our current system.
[答案] 26. B
27. What change in green technology does the writer mention?
A. Solar panels are becoming more expensive.
B. Electric vehicles are being adopted more widely.
C. Green technology is not improving.
D. New buildings do not need to be efficient.
[答案] 27. B
28. What role do individual actions play according to the writer?
A. They do not matter.
B. Small daily choices have a big collective impact.
C. Only governments need to act.
D. Individuals cannot make any difference.
[答案] 28. B
29. What does the writer say about the transition to a circular economy?
A. It will happen quickly.
B. It will take time and require new laws and mindset changes.
C. It is impossible.
D. It only requires new technology.
[答案] 29. B
30. What is the writer conclusion about the future?
A. The situation is hopeless.
B. A sustainable future is possible with combined efforts.
C. Only technology can save us.
D. We should wait for the next generation to act.
[答案] 30. B
C. Choose the best answer and complete the passage. (12分)
The world is facing an environmental crisis. Climate change, plastic pollution, and air quality are all urgent issues that need immediate attention. However, there are reasons to be optimistic. Around the world, innovative solutions _______(31) developed by scientists, engineers, and ordinary citizens.
One exciting area of innovation is the development of biodegradable materials. Researchers _______(32) new types of plastic that decompose naturally, unlike traditional plastic which can take hundreds of years to break down. If these new materials _______(33) widely adopted, the amount of plastic waste could be dramatically reduced.
Another promising area is the use of artificial intelligence to fight pollution. AI systems _______(34) to monitor air quality, track pollution sources, and optimise waste management. In the future, these technologies _______(35) in cities around the world, helping to create cleaner urban environments.
However, technology alone will not solve the problem. Public awareness and individual action _______(36) equally important. If every person makes one small change, the collective impact will be enormous.

In 2019, Greta Thunberg, then 16 years old, crossed the Atlantic Ocean on a zero-carbon yacht to speak at the United Nations Climate Action Summit. She had become a global symbol of youth climate activism. But what made this teenager from Sweden so influential?
It started in 2018 when Greta began skipping school on Fridays to protest outside the Swedish parliament, demanding stronger action on climate change. Her solo protest inspired millions of young people around the world to join her. The movement, called Fridays for Future, became one of the largest youth-led environmental movements in history.
Greta message is simple but powerful. She argues that adults have failed to take sufficient action on climate change, and that young people must speak up for their future. Her speeches are known for being direct and emotional. She does not use complicated scientific language. Instead, she speaks from the heart and demands that those in power take responsibility.
However, Greta has also faced criticism. Some say she is too young to understand the complexities of climate policy. Others accuse her of being manipulated by adults. Despite this, she continues to speak out. Her story raises an important question: should young people have a voice in decisions that will affect their future?

参考范文:
In my opinion, plastic pollution is one of the most serious environmental problems. Millions of tons of plastic enter the ocean every year, harming marine life and entering our food chain through microplastics.
The main cause is our reliance on single-use plastics. We use them once and throw them away, but they take hundreds of years to decompose.
To solve this, we need to reduce our use of plastic, improve recycling systems, and develop biodegradable materials. Governments should also introduce stricter laws on plastic production. Everyone has a role to play in protecting our planet.
