2026秋新外研版九年级上册英语课文挖空练习+拓展练习 Unit 1 Teenagers today Passage 1 Art in safe hands Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Zhan Haojing, a high school student 1.__________ (来自) Minnan area. I'm also a puppet 2.__________ (表演者) who has learned this folk art since childhood. Look at this wooden puppet right in front of all of us. If I move my thin fingers and pull the strings gently, it will 3.__________ (变得栩栩如生) on the stage! I was born into a whole family of Minnan puppet performers. My grandpa and my mum are both 4.__________ (顶尖的) artists in this traditional field. When I was little, I sat beside the stage every night and fell in love with the amazing stories they told with their skillful hands. However, everything slowly changed when I stepped into my teenage years. I felt far less close to this old art form because most young people around me thought puppet shows were too 5.__________ (老式的) and not fashionable enough. I refused to take part in any puppetry performance 6.__________ (除非) my parents asked me to join them. One quiet rainy afternoon, my mum showed me a classic recorded 7.__________ (表演) made by my grandpa’s respected teacher many years ago. The finely carved puppets and their lively, exciting movements brought all my sweet childhood memories back to my mind. 8.__________ (立即，当场), my deep love for puppetry started to grow stronger day by day again. I wrote down all my real worries about the future of this fading folk art and posted the long article online on social media platforms. To my great surprise, the post 9.__________ (大量收到) hundreds of warm comments full of support and encouragement. Many netizens showed their deep love for the art of puppetry and told me to 10.__________ (坚持) my love for it. A clear truth suddenly hit me — it was my natural 11.__________ (责任) to keep the old art alive and pass it down to later generations, because puppetry was deeply in my blood and family roots. This ancient folk art will become popular again as long as more young people take real interest in learning and enjoying it. So I prepared and held a wonderful puppet show at our school’s art festival last month. When I finished all the performing parts and bowed deeply to the whole audience, I looked up and saw a touching picture: every student sitting in the hall was 12.__________ (极为激动). Their bright eyes were completely glued to the lovely puppets moving on the stage. After a long loud warm cheer, they crowded around me one by one to ask where they could watch a full professional puppet performance in their free time. The positive warm feedback from all the young viewers brought me much more courage to keep going on this road. Since that school art show, my puppet shows have 13.__________ (引起更多关注) widely both from 14.__________ (国内外). This time-honored art is getting more public interest and plenty of new creative stories. With more and more young people joining in and learning puppetry little by little, I firmly believe the special magic of this valuable traditional art will last forever. 重点词汇短语积累 puppet performer 木偶表演者 come to life 变得栩栩如生 be born into a family of… 出身于……世家 among the best 顶尖的，一流的 bring back memories 唤起回忆 then and there 当场，立刻 be flooded with 充斥着，大量收到 hold on 坚持，不放弃 keep…alive 使……延续留存 draw more attention 吸引更多关注 home and abroad 国内外 take interest in 对……产生兴趣 语法小笔记 if引导条件状语从句，遵循主将从现； be flooded with 被动结构，表“被大量涌入”，中考高频； performer / performance 词性转换：perform(v.)表演 → performance(n.表演) → performer(n.表演者)； unless = if…not，意为“除非，如果不”，引导条件状语从句。 Passage 2 Young people carry traditional culture Young people are the most important bridge 1.__________ (连接) traditional culture and modern daily life. Nowadays, plenty of teenagers around the country are taking active action to pass down our precious cultural heritage little by little. Li Liang, a 15-year-old boy, learns paper-cutting from his grandmother every weekend. At first, he thought this handcraft was 2.__________ (枯燥的) and totally useless in fast modern society. Later he watched a wonderful cultural live show online, and he slowly realized paper-cutting carries best warm wishes for ordinary families and people. He began to create brand-new patterns with cartoon characters to make this old craft much 3.__________ (吸引人的) for teenagers of his own age. He often holds small art shows at school to 4.__________ (传播) this traditional craft to more classmates and teachers. Another teen Wang Xi deeply loves Chinese brush calligraphy. She spends at least one whole hour 5.__________ (练习) writing Chinese characters every single day after school. She believes writing quietly can calm her busy mind down and help her fully 6.__________ (理解) the inner beauty and spirit of Chinese words. She posts her calligraphy works on social media every week, and her posts 7.__________ (收获大量) likes and warm encouraging comments from young netizens all over the country. Some elderly people always worry that many traditional handcraft arts will slowly disappear as time goes by. But these teenagers fully prove that old traditional culture can 8.__________ (焕发新生) if we mix it with modern creative ways and ideas.

You simply take a 1.__________ (备用的) empty metal tin and turn it into a lovely piggy bank by yourself. Then write your biggest personal dream clearly on the outside surface of the tin. You will need one separate tin for each of your different dreams. It could be of any different 2.__________ (大小) and special shape as you like. When your dream tin is fully ready, put all your spare coins and cash that you have into it little by little," said Money gently beside me. "But wouldn't it 3.__________ (更明智) to find proper ways to get much more pocket money every single month? If I could double my pocket money every week, that would be amazing and wonderful for me." I replied with excitement and hope. Money became much more serious and slowly shook its head. "You may not fully believe me, Kira. But ten times more money means ten times more troubles and daily worries. Because 4.__________ (我们得到的越多，花的也就越多)." This strange opinion didn't make any sense to me at all at that moment. I'd surely run to the place where there's ten times more pocket money to get. That must be my perfect dreamland without any trouble. But Money went on explaining patiently step by step. "Take a close look at your parents around you every day. They have over 100 times your pocket money every month. But still they can't 5.__________ (设法做到) to save enough money for unexpected daily costs and sudden accidents. It's never the number of money that truly matters in life; it's what you choose to do with it every single day. First of all, we need to learn how to 6.__________ (处理) the money we already own right now. Only then we will be able to save more and have more wealth in the future. Now let's get back where we started — the dream tins. Why don't you simply make a brave start to save money today?" "But when there are so many different dream tins standing on my desk, I'll easily 7.__________ (把它们弄乱) and forget which tin is for which special dream," I replied worriedly. "That's exactly why you should pick only the most important wishes from your whole long wish list," explained Money softly and kindly. I took another careful look at my long written wish list again. Right. My first biggest wish was to go on a long relaxing trip abroad with my whole family. The second was to buy a new thin light laptop for my daily study and online classes. The third was to help my busy tired parents 8.__________ (编制预算) their daily money carefully every month. I could make dream tins for the first two wishes and start saving money right away. However, the third one seemed a little bit difficult to finish all by myself without any help from adults. "9.__________ (正是), I can read your mind clearly," Money read my hidden thoughts. "So, you will only need two simple dream tins in total. Think you can manage that well and keep saving?" "Okay, I'll 10.__________ (试一试)... No, I mean, I will stick to it and finish it completely without giving up," I promised firmly to Money. 重点词汇短语积累 manage pocket money 管理零花钱 piggy bank 储蓄罐 double one’s money 零花钱翻倍 make sense 有道理，说得通 unexpected costs 突发开销 deal with 处理，打理 mix up 弄混，混淆 stick to 坚持 go on a trip abroad 出国旅行 语法小笔记 the + 比较级，the + 比较级 越……越……； 强调句型 It is … that …，用来突出句子主语； without + 名词/动名词，表“没有……”，作条件状语。 Passage 2 The Gift of the Magi Della and Jim were a young poor couple with little pocket money left every month. Jim only earned 20 dollars every week from his simple job, and their tiny small flat cost 8 dollars to rent each month. They worried about money and daily living costs every single day. Though they lived a hard poor life without much wealth, each of them owned one special priceless 1.__________ (珍宝) that they valued most. Della’s treasure was her long soft beautiful hair, and Jim’s greatest treasure was his old golden watch passed down from his father and grandfather long ago. Christmas Eve arrived at last after long waiting. Della tried her best to 2.__________ (节省) every single cent for Jim’s Christmas gift for months, but she only had one dollar and eighty-seven cents saved in total in her small box. It was clearly not enough to buy a nice valuable present for him. She sat by the cold window and cried for a long time alone. Suddenly a creative good idea hit her deep inside her mind. She decided to sell her long beautiful hair to a local hairdresser and bought a shining metal watch chain 3.__________ (为) Jim’s old golden watch as a Christmas surprise. When Jim got back home after his whole day’s work and saw Della’s short cut hair, he was greatly 4.__________ (震惊的). At first Della thought he was angry and disappointed with her cut hair, but soon she found out the whole warm truth. Jim also brought her a surprise gift — an expensive set of beautiful hair combs she had admired for ages in the shop window. How could he afford such an expensive set of combs? He sold his beloved golden watch without any hesitation for her. Money can buy plenty of goods and daily little things, but it cannot buy sincere true love between people. This classic old story tells us that sincere love is far more 5.__________ (宝贵的) than wealth and gold. We should learn to 6.__________ (平衡) our personal wishes and our daily budget in our real daily life. 重点词汇短语积累 pass down 传承，代代相传 try one’s best to do 尽某人最大努力做 without hesitation 毫不犹豫 far more valuable 珍贵得多 balance wishes and budget 平衡愿望与预算 语法小笔记 though/although 引导让步状语从句，不能与but连用； passed down 过去分词作后置定语，修饰watch； far + 比较级（far more valuable），far修饰比较级加强程度。 Unit 3 Past passing by Passage 1 Putting the pieces together Sanxingdui is the famous ancient 1.__________ (遗迹) of the ancient Shu Kingdom thousands of years ago. It 2.__________ (位于) the northwest of Guanghan, Sichuan Province in southwest China. Sanxingdui is 3.__________ (如此神奇以至于) it is now world-famous all over the globe. Professional archaeologists have been working and researching there carefully since 1934. Many experienced researchers before me put in 4.__________ (大量的) time and hard effort year after year. As I continued their long research work, I often felt like I was standing on the shoulders of those great ancient scholars. The surprising amazing discoveries at Sanxingdui are 5.__________ (…… 的成果) nearly 90 years of continuous hard effort from thousands of workers. The precious ancient finds at Sanxingdui 6.__________ (提供了…… 缺失的一环) Chinese ancient history. Sanxingdui was an important centre of different ancient cultures in southwest China long ago. This powerful fact fully proves that Chinese culture was open and inclusive from a very early ancient period. Different ancient cultures mixed with each other little by little to form the rich diverse culture of today’s China. Sanxingdui is such a wonderful magical place that visitors travel here from all over the world every year. We are getting more and more visitors from every country. For me, this lively scene is something more valuable than the golden masks shown in our local museum. It means that more people around the world are interested in our amazing ancient discoveries. We're able to open a wide door to the long distant past 7.__________ (以便于) people can better understand the long rich history of our whole country. The hidden underground treasures are 8.__________ (如此美丽以至于) they 9.__________ (变得鲜活) in my imagination every night when I finish work. People living in the ancient Shu Kingdom were so creative and clever that we are still deeply amazed by their perfect hand-made works today. Over the past 40 years, I have never felt bored with my daily research work in this magical cultural site. I keep imagining the daily lives of these ancient people day and night. Although we have found a large number of valuable cultural relics at Sanxingdui till now, we are 10.__________ (远非) getting the whole clear picture of the ancient Shu culture. There are still so many unknown historical questions to be dug into and solved in the future. But great success never comes smoothly or easily. Archaeologists do not believe in good luck by chance. We fully believe in steady hard work day after day. We will work even harder in the following years so that people all over the world can know more about our wonderful brilliant ancient past. 11.__________ (一点一点地), we will be able to slowly 12.__________ (揭示) the hidden secrets of our long Chinese history. 重点词汇短语积累 ancient remains 古代遗迹 lie in 位于 a great deal of 大量（修饰不可数名词） stand on the shoulders of giants 站在巨人的肩膀上 cultural relics 文物 bit by bit 一点一点地 bring out secrets 揭开秘密 inclusive culture 包容的文化 语法小笔记 such…that… / so…that… 如此……以至于； so that 引导目的状语从句，意为“以便，为了”； have been working 现在完成进行时，强调持续多年的动作。 Passage 2 Hanfu: Fashion from ancient times Hanfu is the traditional clothing of the Han ethnic group with thousands of years of long history. It 1.__________ (拥有) soft smooth cutting lines and special cross collars, which stand for the gentle spirit of traditional Chinese culture. For hundreds of ancient years, Hanfu was people’s daily wear in most dynasties, but it slowly disappeared from public sight as time passed by. In recent years, Hanfu has made a great comeback and mixed closely with modern street fashion. Lots of young fans wear Hanfu in city parks, busy streets and all kinds of traditional Chinese festivals. Lucy, a Grade Nine student, falls deeply in love with different styles of Hanfu. At first, she felt 2.__________ (尴尬的) to wear full Hanfu outside in public, fearing strange surprised looks from other passers-by. Instead of 3.__________ (放弃) her special hobby, she spent lots of spare time learning the long history behind different Hanfu styles and designs. Gradually, she found many of her classmates shared the same interest in ancient clothes. Some young fashion designers also create new mixed styles by mixing classic Hanfu features with modern coats and casual T-shirts. These new creative designs make Hanfu much easier for common young people to accept and wear in daily life. Learning about Hanfu culture is a great valuable 4.__________ (收获) for teenagers nowadays. However, the revival of Hanfu still faces many clear difficulties. Most well-made handmade Hanfu costs a lot of money, and many young students cannot 5.__________ (负担得起) such expensive clothes. We should keep studying our precious ancient culture and help traditional beauty shine brightly again 6.__________ (一步一步地). 重点词汇短语积累 ethnic group 民族 make a comeback 重新流行，回归 instead of doing sth. 代替/而不是做某事 handmade clothes 手工服饰 afford sth. 负担得起某物 revival of traditional culture 传统文化复兴 语法小笔记 which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰前面整件事物； instead of 后接名词/动名词，不能接动词原形； afford 常与情态动词can/could/be able to搭配使用。 Unit 4 Heroes Passage 1 What was she like? As a little young girl, I was often told by my family "Your grandmother Zhao Yiman was a great national hero". However, to me when I was small, she was just an old black-and-white picture hanging quietly on the wall of our house. She passed away long before I was even born into this world. So, I never got to meet her face to face or know her real personality. As a teenager several years later, I started asking all kinds of questions about her life and stories from my elder relatives. According to my great-aunt who knew Grandma well, Grandma was a strong person who never easily gave up in hard times. And she was also a warm-hearted person who always thought of other people’s safety first before her own. My history teacher told me clearly that Grandma was a brave 1.__________ (无畏的) soldier who 2.__________ (勇敢地为…… 而死) our motherland China. Years later, I followed her long 3.__________ (足迹) across many different cities in northern China. She fought bravely in many dangerous places during the hard war years. I saw Yiman Street, Yiman Park, and Yiman Primary School named after her. Even now, people living in northeast China still 4.__________ (怀着极大的敬意纪念她) every year. After I became a mother myself a few years ago, I had more deep questions in my heart. How could a gentle mother who loved her little young son so much leave him behind and rush to the war front? In the old yellow letter that Grandma wrote to my father before her final 5.__________ (死亡), I slowly found the real moving answer. The thin paper has turned yellow and weak over a long time, but its warm powerful message is as clear as ever to me. 6.__________ (字里行间), there is not only the soft deep love of a 7.__________ (温柔的) mother for her child. There is also the strong courage of a fearless brave 8.__________ (斗士) for our country. As I read each line slowly, quiet warm tears filled my eyes little by little. For the first time in my life, I saw Grandma as a real living person instead of just a name on a textbook. Now she is not just a cold picture or a simple name to me. 2 August 1936 Ning'er, It's a great 9.__________ (可惜) that I cannot finish my heavy duty to protect our country. As a loving mother, I should stay beside you and bring you up carefully. But for the final victory of our whole country, I have to give up my own life today. I will not be able to see you again in the future. I just sincerely hope that you can grow up healthy and strong all your life. I'll always feel happy to know that news. My dearest little boy, I won't be able to teach you through my daily words. I can only teach you good spirit through my own actions. When you grow up into an adult, never forget that I died bravely for our great motherland.

He was born in Canada in 1890 and became a professional skilled doctor in 1916 after long study. In 1938, he travelled thousands of miles to China to help wounded Chinese soldiers during the hard anti-war period. At that time, there were very few professional doctors working in the dangerous war areas of China. Bethune had to work all day and night almost on his own to treat thousands of wounded soldiers every month. He created many new simple medical tools for field hospitals and wrote thick books about proper ways to look after the sick and injured. He cared for every single soldier 1.__________ (温柔地) and never thought about his own rest or safety. Even when his hand was badly hurt during an operation, he kept working without any break until he lost his life because of the infection. Before he passed away, he left all his valuable medical tools and books to the local Chinese field hospital. People in both China and Canada still 2.__________ (纪念) him with great deep respect to this day. Bethune’s whole life story teaches us clearly what a real hero truly is: a person who 3.__________ (奉献) himself to help weak others and never fears hard difficulties or danger. We should follow his great 4.__________ (足迹) and try our best to serve people around us in daily life. 重点词汇短语积累 selfless hero 无私的英雄 wounded soldiers 伤员 on one’s own 独自 devote oneself to 奉献于 field hospital 战地医院 语法小笔记 devote oneself to doing sth. to是介词，后接动名词； until引导时间状语从句，意为“直到……”； 被动语态 be born in 出生于。 Unit 5 A fine balance Passage 1 When the earth stands still In 2007, famous writer Alan Weisman wrote a world-famous book called The World Without Us. In this special book, he showed his readers a quiet empty world without any human beings living on it. Let’s imagine such a strange world together for a moment. All kinds of human daily activities stop completely at once. Cars 1.__________ (消失) from all the wide roads, boats from every river and lake, and planes from the high blue skies. Wide streets, crowded beaches and green parks that are usually full of noisy people every day 2.__________ (保持) totally empty and silent all year round. If all humans disappeared from the earth one day, what surprising big changes would happen to the whole natural world around us? It is no surprising news that wild animals would soon 3.__________ (增加) in number and live freely everywhere. In modern big cities, loud traffic noise often means that wild animals cannot easily hear each other’s calls to find partners. Without noisy human traffic, the loud noise would 4.__________ (降低) greatly as all cars and buses stop running. This allows soft natural animal sounds to fill the whole air day and night. It becomes much easier for different animals to find each other and form their own animal families. Also, noisy tourists disappear from all beaches and sea areas. Sea animals would no longer be troubled by noisy crowds of people around their living homes. But not only wild animals would enjoy this great peaceful change. All natural ecosystems would start to balance themselves again slowly, too. Big trees would grow freely without the danger of being cut down by human workers. Thick forests would slowly take back the wide space that humans now live and build on. The whole earth would soon turn back into a beautiful green world again without human damage. Without all kinds of human pollution, the amazing natural wonders which have been hidden behind thick grey smog for many years would appear clearly again in front of our eyes. Cleaner fresh air and clean clear water would allow them to present all their natural beauty to the world. But there wouldn’t be any human people left to admire such an amazing perfect world. What a sad terrible thing to think about deeply! Throughout thousands of years of human history, humans have left so many clear 5.__________ (痕迹) on the surface of the earth, such as wide roads, large farmlands and tall stone buildings. The fast 6.__________ (快速发展) of human society has made us care less and less for our natural environment around us. It's very clear that we cannot wait till this terrible imagination becomes real life. The whole world is not a simple computer game. We can't 7.__________ (取消) it and 8.__________ (重新开始) it again whenever we want. We need to think much more carefully about how we 9.__________ (与…… 相处) the whole natural world around us. Perhaps we should always remember the wise old words which Montaigne once wrote many years ago — let us 10.__________ (允许) nature to 11.__________ (随心所欲) without too much human control. 重点词汇短语积累 natural ecosystem 自然生态系统 cut down 砍伐 take back 收回，重新占据 rapid development 快速发展 get along with 与……和睦相处 have one’s way 随心所欲，按自己意愿行事 语法小笔记 if引导虚拟条件句，与现在事实相反，主句would+动词原形； which引导定语从句，修饰natural wonders； without + 名词，表条件“没有……”。 Passage 2 The mysterious hole A strange huge deep hole suddenly appeared in a quiet small mountain village one day without any warning. All local villagers shouted loudly into the dark hole, but no clear sound came back out to them. A brave young man picked up a heavy stone and threw it deep inside the hole, yet he could not hear it hit the ground at the bottom no matter how long he waited. Soon lots of reporters and professional scientists arrived from the big city nearby to study the strange hole. One careful scientist tried her best to find out the exact 1.__________ (深度) of the hole, but her long measuring rope was still not long enough to reach the bottom. A local businessman offered to fill the hole completely for the village and opened a big waste-filling company at the hole’s entrance. Big trucks carrying all kinds of 2.__________ (工业的) waste came every single day without stop. No matter what dirty rubbish and waste things people threw into the dark hole, it took everything quietly without any noise or smell. All local people felt peaceful and relaxed because all their daily rubbish was gone forever. The sky and sea around the village became clear and bright again. No one stopped to think about the bad long-term results of their careless actions. They built many tall new buildings around the hole and threw all kinds of waste into it day after day. One ordinary working day, a worker heard a strange clear voice falling down from the clean blue sky: “Hey! Come on out!” Humans broke the natural balance of the whole earth. We cannot throw all our waste away freely and ignore the earth’s silent pain. We must learn to 3.__________ (与……和谐共处) the natural environment instead of destroying it for our own convenience. 重点词汇短语积累 measuring rope 测量绳 industrial waste 工业垃圾 long-term results 长期后果 natural balance 自然平衡 live in harmony with 与……和谐共处 语法小笔记 no matter what = whatever 无论什么，引导让步状语从句； depth(n.)深度，deep(adj.)深的，词性转换； instead of + 动名词，表“而不是做某事”。 Unit 6 Live green Passage 1 Plastic: good or bad? When plastic was first 1.__________ (发明) around 1870 by scientists, it was widely considered an amazing useful new material all over the world. It was light in weight, easy to shape into different forms, long-lasting and cheap to produce in factories. It quickly 2.__________ (取代) natural materials such as wood, bamboo and cotton in daily life. Many scientists and common people strongly believed plastic would make human daily life much easier and better. Back at that time, people even called plastic an amazing "environmental hero" for its low cost! Not surprisingly, plastic products have now filled every part of our daily lives completely. We can find plastic in shopping bags, water bottles, toothbrushes, gloves, mobile phone shells, cars, house furniture... you name it, plastic is almost everywhere. It is certainly very 3.__________ (方便的) and has thousands of different uses in modern society. Despite all these clear advantages, it has slowly and silently 4.__________ (露出了它的阴暗面) as years go by. Plastic waste was first found floating in the wide oceans in the 1960s. Since that time, plastic waste has become a deadly great danger to all kinds of sea animals. Some large sea animals, such as whales and sea turtles, eat plastic rubbish 5.__________ (错误地) and die slowly from illness. The former "environmental hero" kills more than 100,000 sea animals every single year around the world. Scientists predict that by 2050, there could be even more plastic waste in the sea than real fish. Plastic also causes terrible serious problems on dry land. Birds’ thin wings get tightly tied in thin plastic lines. Bears’ heads get stuck inside empty plastic bins. Farm cows mistake plastic bags for green grass and eat them by accident! Even human beings are eating tiny plastic waste without noticing it! 6.__________ (平均而言), every person eats five grams of plastic waste every week. That is the total weight of a whole bank card! Tiny broken plastic pieces are found in the air we breathe every day. They can be carried around for thousands of miles by strong wind. There is even white plastic "snow" covering the ground at the North and South Poles. On this "Planet Plastic", no single corner of the earth is completely free from this man-made plastic material. Getting fully free of plastic waste is never an easy simple task for humans. It may take thousands of long years to fully 7.__________ (分解) in natural environment. Therefore, hiding all plastic waste deep under the ground doesn't truly 8.__________ (解决问题) at all. Burning plastic waste also 9.__________ (产生) thick black smoke that causes serious air pollution all around. Plastic pollution is not just a simple environmental problem for us. It is a serious matter of life and death for all human beings and for the bright future of our whole planet. Everyone clearly knows that there is no second Planet B for us to move to. Let's take action right now to 10.__________ (践行无塑生活) in our daily life! 重点词汇短语积累 long-lasting 耐用的 replace natural materials 取代天然材料 environmental hero 环保英雄 show one’s dark side 露出阴暗面 by mistake 错误地 on average 平均而言 break down 分解 go plastic-free 践行无塑生活 语法小笔记 was invented 一般过去时被动语态； It takes + 时间 + to do sth. 做某事花费多长时间； despite 介词，意为“尽管”，后接名词/动名词。 Passage 2 Small green actions, big changes Living a true green low-carbon life does not require great difficult efforts or much money. Small simple daily actions can make a huge positive difference to our whole planet’s environment. First of all, we should cut down our daily plastic use as much as possible. We can carry thick cloth bags while shopping in supermarkets and use glass bottles instead of thin plastic bottles for drinks. Second, save electricity energy at home every day. Remember to turn off all lights and electrical machines when we leave our rooms for a long time. This small habit helps cut down power waste and greatly 1.__________ (减少) air pollution from power factories. Third, sort daily rubbish correctly into different bins. Waste paper, glass and metal can all be recycled instead of being buried underground and polluting soil. Many teenage students have started green volunteer clubs at school. They share simple useful tips on how to live low-carbon lives and hold public speeches to ask all classmates to protect our earth together. Some active students even organize tree-planting activities in the countryside every spring holiday. Green trees can take in harmful dirty gas and make the air much 2.__________ (干净的) for all living things. It’s impossible to fix all serious environmental problems in just one single day. But if every person keeps taking small green steps every day, we will 3.__________ (创造) a cleaner, fresher and greener world for the next young generation. Don’t wait for others to take action — start your own zero-waste green life today! 重点词汇短语积累 low-carbon life 低碳生活 cut down plastic use 减少塑料使用 sort rubbish 垃圾分类 recycle waste 回收垃圾 take in harmful gas 吸收有害气体 zero-waste life 零废弃生活 语法小笔记 instead of + 名词/动名词，代替； much + 比较级（cleaner），much修饰比较级； if引导条件状语从句，主将从现。 ( 第 1 页 共 8 页 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
