The International Climate Champions (ICC) project began in 2007. It gives young people of school age a chance to speak publicly on climate change and to encourage action to reduce its effects. Each country involved selects three teenagers to be Climate Champions, who take part in local and international activities.
Climate Champion Irene Sanna lives on the Italian island of Sardinia. Irene is interested in solar energy, and also believes that Sardinia should use the waves around its coast to produce electricity. That would reduce the need to import oil and gas for lighting, heating and cooking. “Energy conservation is our future. We must make plans to save our coast, which still has no pollution. We must protect the animals, birds and fish in danger from global warming. And we must recycle.”
Chinese student Ding Yinghan is the Beijing Climate Champion. Ding feels it is unfair to say that just one country-his own-is causing climate change. He says the air pollution that leads to global warming comes from many parts of the world, including poorer countries that are now growing more quickly. He believes the only way to prevent the situation getting even worse is for rich and poor countries to work together.
Sophia Angelis, a junior student in Lake Arrowhead, California, is a US Champion. She’s against young people’s general lack of interest in politics and feels they need to discuss the problems that really matter to their generation. She has written about the need for action on poverty and her articles have been published in her local newspaper. Sophia strongly believes that climate change is an important issue for her generation. For her, changes in the way teenagers behave are an important way of influencing choices that are made by parents.
In 2008, the Climate Champions attended the International Conference of Environment Ministers in the Japanese city of Kobe. At present, 13 countries are involved in the ICC, and more countries are expected to join soon.
1.Different Climate Champions are mentioned in this article except the one from ________.
A.China B.Japan C.Italy D.America
2.What does Irene say about the sea?
A.The water near the island is now dirty. B.Many types of fish have disappeared.
C.There is oil and gas under the water. D.It can provide power for the island.
3.What does Ding believe about the climate change?
A.It is certain to get much worse. B.Air pollution does not cause it.
C.It is wrong to blame China for it. D.It is caused only by rich countries.
4.Sophia thinks that young people should ________.
A.publish their own newspapers B.change old people’s habits
C.follow the example of their parents D.avoid talking about politics
5.In which section of the newspaper can we most probably find this article?
A.Health B.Environment C.Fashion D.News
6.What is the writer’s main purpose in this article?
A.To give details about how to become a Climate Champion.
B.To explain why the Earth’s climate is changing so quickly.
C.To say what some people are doing about climate change.
D.To tell people what they can do to prevent climate change.

国际气候先锋项目(ICC)始于 2007 年。该项目为在校青少年提供公开探讨气候变化、呼吁采取行动减轻气候危害的平台。每个参与国选拔三名青少年担任气候先锋,参与国内外各类环保活动。
气候先锋艾琳・桑纳居住在意大利撒丁岛。艾琳对太阳能很感兴趣,她还认为撒丁岛应当利用海岸周边海浪发电。这能减少当地用于照明、供暖与烹饪的石油和天然气进口需求。“能源节约关乎我们的未来。我们必须制定方案保护尚且无污染的海岸,保护因全球变暖濒临危险的各类动物、鸟类和鱼类,同时做好资源回收。”
中国学生丁颖涵是北京气候先锋。他认为,把气候变化归咎于单一国家 —— 自己的祖国,这有失公允。他说,引发全球变暖的空气污染遍布世界各地,其中也包含当下发展速度更快的贫困国家。他坚信,避免环境持续恶化的唯一途径就是发达国家与发展中国家携手合作。
来自加利福尼亚州箭头湖的初中生索菲娅・安杰利斯是美国气候先锋。她反对当下青少年普遍对政治漠不关心的现状,认为年轻人应当讨论关乎自身这一代人的关键难题。她撰写过多篇关于应对贫困的文章,并刊登在当地报纸上。索菲娅坚定地认为,气候变化是我们这一代人必须重视的重大议题。在她看来,青少年改变自身行为,能够有效影响父母的生活选择。

A British teacher made a special decision: she left her job to make sweaters for penguins in Antarctica. Her story has become popular online. This 1 sound strange, but it’s true. She’s helping penguins influenced by oil spills (泄露).
Years ago, a large oil spill near Phillip Island, Australia 2 many baby penguins to die. When penguins get oil on their feathers (羽毛), they lose 3 ability to stay warm and swim smoothly. They often try to clean the oil, but this puts them in danger.
4 the penguins, the Penguin Foundation calls on people to make special wool (毛) sweaters. These sweaters keep penguins warm and stop them 5 eating the oil.
In 2001, this method saved 438 baby penguins after 6 oil spill. Over the past 20 years, people from all over the world have sent 7 than 200,000 sweaters for the penguins!
Some people think the sweaters might make penguins too hot. But the sweaters are only put on the penguins for a short time, 8 people can help them clean the oil. Sweaters that don’t fit well 9 into toy penguins. Money from selling these toys helps protect other wildlife on Phillip Island.

Passage 2
配对阅读。左栏是五种环境问题,右栏是七种应对措施。请为这五种环境问题匹配对应的措施。选项中有两项为多余项。
1 Light pollution in big cities is very serious now. It not only threatens (威胁) people’s health, but also influences the behavior of animals.
2 The increasing number of cars has worsened the air pollution. Polluted air can increase the risk of lung (肺) diseases.
3 Tropical rainforests (热带雨林) are disappearing because of farming and tree cutting. Lots of animals are losing their homes.
4 There are different kinds of wastes produced in our daily life. Many people often throw their rubbish without sorting (把……分类) them.
5 There is a lot of rubbish in the river, which makes the river smelly and dirty. A lot of fish died because of the water pollution.
A.Reuse Waste. Reuse the old clothes and tools. They can be repaired and reused if you have a creative idea.
B.Clean up. Help clean up rubbish in lakes, rivers and oceans. Make sure it is safe when you collect the rubbish and then put it in a nearby bin.
C. Stop Cutting. Some laws are designed to stop people from cutting trees down. And it is necessary to educate local people to raise their awareness of protecting rainforests.
D.Shop Locally. Shopping in your own community is helpful to reduce long-time transportation and over-packaging. It also helps support your neighbors.
E. Sort Wastes. Sort different kinds of wastes and put them into different bins. This can ensure that wastes can be properly recycled.
F. Reduce Unnecessary Lighting. Limit the number of lights and the time of lighting to reduce the use of unnecessary lighting. This can help to avoid light pollution.
G. Use Public Transportation. Buses and subways are better choices than cars when we go out. They help reduce the air pollution and traffic jams (交通堵塞).
Passage 3
Thanks to Earth, we have fresh air to breathe, clean water to drink and warm sunshine to enjoy. But it seems that we may think these things are normal and not realize that our planet is getting “sick”.
Among all the environmental problems, climate change sits at the top. Global average (平均的) temperatures have risen by more than 0.5°C since 1992. A half-degree temperature rise is a big thing. It means that heat waves can last around one third longer and rainstorms will be about one third stronger. The increase in sea levels will be much higher, according to NASA.Countries like Singapore that are at low places may be covered by the ocean in the future.
But this is not the only problem people are facing. It’s getting harder to get fresh water. Ocean pollution has become serious. Since 1992, the human population has grown by 2 billion, while the populations of all other animals have fallen by nearly 30 percent.
Scientists say that we are experiencing the sixth huge extinction in history. More than two-thirds of the world’s wildlife could be gone by the end of the decade (十年) if action isn’t taken soon, according to the World Wildlife Fund. The Amur leopard, black rhino and Cross River gorilla are some animals that are in danger of dying out completely.
However, we have made some progress by making the hole in the ozone layer smaller. That’s because we gradually stopped using chemicals that can break down ozone.
This shows that when we make quick and strong decisions, we can make positive changes.
1.What may happen if global average temperatures rise by 0.5°C?
A.The ocean will cover China. B.Cold waves can last a third longer.
C.Sea levels will be three times higher. D.Rainstorms will be more serious.
2.What does the underlined word “extinction” probably mean?
A.繁殖 B.灭绝 C.迁徙 D.进化
3.Which of the following environmental problems are mentioned in the text?
①Air pollution. ②Ocean pollution.
③Fewer animals. ④Smaller ozone layer.
A.①② B.②④ C.①③ D.②③
4.What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) to the future of our planet?
A.Negative. B.Doubtful. C.Hopeful. D.Proud.
5.How have we made the hole in the ozone layer smaller?
A.By the increase in sea levels.
B.By gradually stopped using chemicals that can break down ozone.
C.By getting the fresh water.
D.By the growth of the human population
6.What’s the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
Passage 4
As the weather warms up and summer approaches, many families around the UK will visit a beach. It’s time to admire the scenery, have long walks and play with water. To keep beaches 1 and tidy, you could also help by taking part in a beach clean.
You could carefully pick up waste that 2 along the coast. Some rubbish gets washed to the beach by the sea, but sadly a lot of it is left by people who use the beach.
To do a beach clean, all you need is a strong bag or large bin liner, a pair of gloves to 3 your hands. As a family, you can cover a section of the beach together and look out for objects to pick up and put in your bag. You could 4 things like bottles, drinks cans, food wrappers and plastics.
These objects can harm wildlife and creatures around the beach, as well as being a 5 to people. When plastics get into the water, the wind and tides can carry them along distances and they begin to break down into tiny pieces and harm the fish, birds and animals in the sea.
When you have filled a bag—or perhaps a few bags—with rubbish, it is 6 to take it home with you if you can. This helps to keep the public bins at the beach clear for others to use. At home, sort it into recyclable and non-recyclable waste.
1.A.warm B.safe C.wet D.cool
2.A.collects B.drops C.gains D.appears
3.A.hurt B.raise C.shake D.protect
4.A.dream of B.come across C.care for D.make up
5.A.sign B.partner C.danger D.reward
6.A.convenient B.honest C.hopeful D.best
Passage 5
I’m sitting in my favourite spot on a hill, surrounded by trees and soft green grass. The wind gently blows, and the sun shines brightly in the early morning. It’s the perfect temperature, neither too hot nor too cold. This place brings me peace, and I feel calm. I come here whenever I can, though it’s rare now. It holds a special place in my heart, especially because I’ve always imagined visiting places where nature and ancient buildings are closely connected, like the peaceful temples hidden in the mountains.
But now, the reality is different. I switched off my mask, and released electrodes (电极) from my skin. I know my time here is over. I’m in a spaceship, with artificial light, metal floors and narrow rooms — nothing like the green hills and trees I once knew. The peaceful breeze is replaced by the noise of machines. The long journey to Mars is lonely. That’s why I need some virtual (虚拟的) activities to stay calm.
We are on the greatest mission of humanity, but I worry about losing what makes us human. If we reach Mars, we should do more than just build shelters—we must protect nature there, just as we should have done on Earth. If we fail, Mars will become another empty planet.
Let’s not repeat the mistakes of the past. Our true strength lies in caring for our planet, not just settling in new worlds.
1.What is the writer’s favourite place?
2.Does the writer feel comfortable in the spaceship?
3.Why does the writer need some virtual activities?
4.What does the underlined phrase “the greatest mission of humanity” refer to?
5.What should humans do if they reach Mars according to the passage?
6.If you were to go on a journey to another planet, what kind of place would you want to have in your virtual activities? And why is that place important to you?

2.句意:多年前,澳大利亚菲利普岛附近的一次大型石油泄漏导致许多企鹅宝宝死亡。
根据时间状语“Years ago”可知,句子应用一般过去时,caused符合时态;will cause一般将来时,causes一般现在时均语法不符。
3.句意:当企鹅羽毛沾上油时,它们失去保持温暖和顺畅游泳的能力。
此处修饰名词ability,需用形容词性物主代词their;they主格,them宾格均语法不符。
4.句意:为了保护企鹅,企鹅基金会呼吁人们制作特殊的羊毛衫。

Passage 3
Thanks to Earth, we have fresh air to breathe, clean water to drink and warm sunshine to enjoy. But it seems that we may think these things are normal and not realize that our planet is getting “sick”.
Among all the environmental problems, climate change sits at the top. Global average (平均的) temperatures have risen by more than 0.5°C since 1992. A half-degree temperature rise is a big thing. It means that heat waves can last around one third longer and rainstorms will be about one third stronger. The increase in sea levels will be much higher, according to NASA.Countries like Singapore that are at low places may be covered by the ocean in the future.
But this is not the only problem people are facing. It’s getting harder to get fresh water. Ocean pollution has become serious. Since 1992, the human population has grown by 2 billion, while the populations of all other animals have fallen by nearly 30 percent.
Scientists say that we are experiencing the sixth huge extinction in history. More than two-thirds of the world’s wildlife could be gone by the end of the decade (十年) if action isn’t taken soon, according to the World Wildlife Fund. The Amur leopard, black rhino and Cross River gorilla are some animals that are in danger of dying out completely.
However, we have made some progress by making the hole in the ozone layer smaller. That’s because we gradually stopped using chemicals that can break down ozone.
This shows that when we make quick and strong decisions, we can make positive changes.
1.What may happen if global average temperatures rise by 0.5°C?
A.The ocean will cover China. B.Cold waves can last a third longer.
C.Sea levels will be three times higher. D.Rainstorms will be more serious.
2.What does the underlined word “extinction” probably mean?
A.繁殖 B.灭绝 C.迁徙 D.进化
3.Which of the following environmental problems are mentioned in the text?
①Air pollution. ②Ocean pollution.
③Fewer animals. ④Smaller ozone layer.
A.①② B.②④ C.①③ D.②③
4.What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) to the future of our planet?
A.Negative. B.Doubtful. C.Hopeful. D.Proud.
5.How have we made the hole in the ozone layer smaller?
A.By the increase in sea levels.
B.By gradually stopped using chemicals that can break down ozone.
C.By getting the fresh water.
D.By the growth of the human population
6.What’s the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
【答案】1.D 2.B 3.D 4.C 5.B 6.A
【导语】本文主要介绍了地球上的环境问题。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据“A half-degree temperature rise is a big thing. It means that heat waves can last around one third longer and rainstorms will be about one third stronger.”可知,气温上升半度是件大事,这意味着热浪持续时间会延长大约三分之一,暴雨将增强大约三分之一。故选D。
2.词句猜测题。根据“More than two-thirds of the world’s wildlife could be gone by the end of the decade (十年) if action isn’t taken soon, according to the World Wildlife Fund.”可知,据世界野生动物基金会称,如果不尽快采取行动,到本十年末,世界上超过三分之二的野生动物可能会消失。由此可知,这里划线单词“extinction”应该表示“灭绝”,故选B。
3.细节理解题。根据“Ocean pollution has become serious”和“More than two-thirds of the world’s wildlife could be gone by the end of the decade (十年) if action isn’t taken soon, according to the World Wildlife Fund. ”可知,文章提到了海洋污染以及数量更少的动物,故选D。
4.观点态度题。根据“This shows that when we make quick and strong decisions, we can make positive changes.”可知,当我们做出迅速而有力的决定时,我们可以做出积极的改变。据此可以看出作者是充满希望的,故选C。
5.细节理解题。根据“However, we have made some progress by making the hole in the ozone layer smaller. That’s because we gradually stopped using chemicals that can break down ozone.”可知,我们通过逐渐停止使用可以分解臭氧的化学物质去使得臭氧层上的空洞变小了。故选B。
6.篇章结构题。文章第一段讲述了介绍了我们的星球正在“生病”;第二段到第四段介绍了地球出现的问题;第五段介绍人类在保护环境上取得了一些进展;第六段总结全文。所以文章结构如A选项所示。故选A。

Passage 5
I’m sitting in my favourite spot on a hill, surrounded by trees and soft green grass. The wind gently blows, and the sun shines brightly in the early morning. It’s the perfect temperature, neither too hot nor too cold. This place brings me peace, and I feel calm. I come here whenever I can, though it’s rare now. It holds a special place in my heart, especially because I’ve always imagined visiting places where nature and ancient buildings are closely connected, like the peaceful temples hidden in the mountains.
But now, the reality is different. I switched off my mask, and released electrodes (电极) from my skin. I know my time here is over. I’m in a spaceship, with artificial light, metal floors and narrow rooms — nothing like the green hills and trees I once knew. The peaceful breeze is replaced by the noise of machines. The long journey to Mars is lonely. That’s why I need some virtual (虚拟的) activities to stay calm.
We are on the greatest mission of humanity, but I worry about losing what makes us human. If we reach Mars, we should do more than just build shelters—we must protect nature there, just as we should have done on Earth. If we fail, Mars will become another empty planet.
Let’s not repeat the mistakes of the past. Our true strength lies in caring for our planet, not just settling in new worlds.
1.What is the writer’s favourite place?
2.Does the writer feel comfortable in the spaceship?
3.Why does the writer need some virtual activities?
4.What does the underlined phrase “the greatest mission of humanity” refer to?
5.What should humans do if they reach Mars according to the passage?
6.If you were to go on a journey to another planet, what kind of place would you want to have in your virtual activities? And why is that place important to you?
【答案】1.A hill/A spot on a hill surrounded by trees and soft green grass. 2.No, he/she doesn’t.
3.Because the long journey to Mars is lonely and he/she needs to stay calm./Because he/she needs to stay calm during the long and lonely journey to Mars.
4.It refers to “travelling to and settling on Mars”.
5.The writer believes humans should do more than just build shelters and should protect nature on Mars.
6.Any reasonable answer is ok. Answer Example: I would want a virtual place. That’s a quiet library filled with my favorite books and a small garden with flowers. Because books and nature remind me of the curiosity and love for beauty that make me human. Such a place would help me feel connected to my emotions and memories, just like the hill does for the writer, even when I’m far away in space.
I would want a virtual version of my hometown’s park. It has a lake where I used to feed ducks and a tree I climbed as a kid. This place is important because it holds my childhood memories and makes me feel connected to who I am, even in space.
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,通过宇航员在前往火星途中对地球自然美景的回忆与现实飞船环境的对比,表达了对人类破坏自然的反思,呼吁在开发新星球时珍视和保护自然环境。
【详解】1.根据“I’m sitting in my favourite spot on a hill, surrounded by trees and soft green grass.”可知,作者最喜欢的地方是山上一个被树木和青草环绕的地方,故填A hill/A spot on a hill surrounded by trees and soft green grass.
2.根据“I’m in a spaceship, with artificial light, metal floors and narrow rooms—nothing like the green hills and trees I once knew. The peaceful breeze is replaced by the noise of machines. The long journey to Mars is lonely.”可知,作者在飞船里感觉不舒服,故填No, he/she doesn’t.
3.根据“The long journey to Mars is lonely. That’s why I need some virtual (虚拟的) activities to stay calm.”可知,作者需要虚拟活动是因为火星之旅漫长且孤独,以此保持平静,故填Because the long journey to Mars is lonely and he/she needs to stay calm./Because he/she needs to stay calm during the long and lonely journey to Mars.
4.根据“The long journey to Mars is lonely.”和“If we reach Mars, we should do more than just build shelters”可知,“人类最伟大的使命”指的是前往火星的旅程并定居在那里,故填It refers to “travelling to and settling on Mars”.
5.根据“If we reach Mars, we should do more than just build shelters—we must protect nature there, just as we should have done on Earth.”可知,作者认为人类到达火星后不仅要建庇护所,还要保护那里的自然,故填The writer believes humans should do more than just build shelters and should protect nature on Mars.
