Composting (堆肥制造) at Home
What Is Composting?
Composting is the managed, oxygen-requiring biological decomposition of organic materials by microorganisms.Organic (carbon-based) materials include grasses, leaves, yard and tree cuttings, and food waste.The end product is compost, a soil conditioner that can provide nutrients for plants. Microorganisms feed on the materials added to the compost pile during composting.They use carbon and nitrogen (氮) to grow and reproduce, water to digest materials, and oxygen to breathe.
Why Is Composting at Home Important?
Composting is nature's way of recycling.We can get a beneficial, value-added soil conditioner and use it to protect the environment.

B(关注课标新增主题:生态环境)
(2026·驻马店模拟)Every Saturday morning, a group of volunteers gathers at Greenfield Park with one mission: to clean up the polluted stream that winds through the area. For years, the stream had been choked with plastic bottles, old tires, and discarded food wrappers, making it uninhabitable for fish and other wildlife. But thanks to their efforts, things are starting to change.
Maya, a 17-year-old high school student, has been part of the group for six months. “I first noticed the stream when I was jogging in the park,” she said. “It made me sad to see so much trash, so I looked up local clean-up groups and joined right away.” She remembers her first day vividly — they pulled out three shopping carts and a rusty bicycle, and filled dozens of garbage bags with plastic.
The volunteers work in teams. Some wade into the shallow parts of the stream to retrieve floating debris, while others sort the trash on the banks, separating recyclables from non-recyclables. “We've learned a lot about waste management,” said Mr Higgins, who coordinates the group. “Most people don't realize how long plastic takes to decompose — some items can last for hundreds of years in the environment.”
Over time, their hard work has paid off. The water is clearer now, and last month, someone spotted a family of ducks swimming in the stream — a sight no one had seen in years. Local kids have started joining too, bringing their friends and turning the clean-up into a weekend activity. “It has become a community thing,” Maya said proudly. “People stop by to thank us, or even grab a glove and help for a while.”
The group's next goal is to plant native water plants along the banks to prevent erosion and provide habitats for small creatures. “Cleaning up is just the first step,” Mr Higgins explained. “We want to make sure the stream stays healthy for years to come.” For Maya, seeing the stream come back to life has been the best reward. “Every time I visit, I notice something new — a butterfly, a bird, or a kid skipping stones in the water. It makes all the early mornings and sore muscles worth it.”

D.Teach kids about plastic decomposition.
6.What positive change has happened to the stream?
A.It has dried up completely.
B.Ducks have returned to swim there.
C.New shopping carts were added.
D.The water has become darker.
7.What is the group planning to do next?
A.Stop the clean-up efforts.
B.Plant native water plants.

(2026·济南模拟)Scientists have revealed much of the basics about earthquakes: tectonic plates (构造板块) move, causing strain energy (应变能) to build up, and that energy eventually releases in the form of an earthquake. However, forecasting earthquakes remains a significant challenge, which was evidenced by the 2011 great Tohoku earthquake. In addition to causing a tsunami that led to the Fukushima nuclear disaster, it resulted in more than 18,000 deaths.
In recent years, researchers have been trying to figure out a possible relation between the sun and earthquakes. Based on a previous study that connected solar activity with earthquakes, a study conducted by researchers from the University of Tsukuba (UT) cast light on this possibility, confirming that sunspot numbers had some influence on earthquakes and Earth's climate, as affected by solar heat, played a role.
“Solar heat drives atmospheric temperature changes, which in turn can affect things like rock properties and underground water movement,” said Junqueira Saldanha, leader of the research team. “Such changes can make rocks tend to break apart. For example, the changes in rainfall and snowmelt can affect the pressure on tectonic plate boundaries. While these factors may not be the main drivers of earthquakes, they could still be playing a role that can help to predict earthquakes.”
Among other findings, the researchers used mathematical and computational methods to analyze earthquake data alongside solar activity records and surface temperatures on Earth. They observed that when they included Earth surface temperatures into their model, the forecasting became more accurate, especially for shallow earthquakes. “That makes sense, since heat and water mostly affect the upper layers of the Earth's crust (地壳),” said Saldanha.
The findings suggest the transfer of solar heat to the surface of the Earth does affect earthquakes, however minutely, and that incorporating solar activity predictions into detailed Earth temperature models may help issue earthquake forecasts. “It's an exciting direction, and we hope our study can decipher the bigger picture of what causes earthquakes,” said Saldanha.
8.Why did the author mention Tohoku earthquake in paragraph 1?
A.To demonstrate the movement of tectonic plates.
B.To illustrate the difficulty in earthquake forecast.
C.To reveal the heavy losses caused by earthquakes.
D.To stress the necessity of weakening strain energy.
9.What does the study by UT mainly focus on?
A.The climate change caused by earthquakes.
B.The impact of solar activity on atmosphere.
C.The reasons for increased sunspot numbers.
D.The link between sunspots and earthquakes.
10.Which of the following would Saldanha agree?
A.Solar heat decides earthquake frequency.
B.Tectonic plate pressure grows constantly.
C.Earthquakes occur in the crust's upper layer.
D.Solar activity data helps predict earthquakes.
11.What does the underlined word “decipher” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Reveal. B.Distinguish. C.Expand. D.Assess.

(2026·宁波模拟)While technological advancements have enhanced the convenience of urban commuting in recent years, environmental studies reveal a worrying decline in urban green spaces, especially in densely populated districts. Many residents complain that there's insufficient access to nature-filled areas for relaxation and exercise, so they end up spending more time indoors, relying on virtual entertainment.
Urban planners Lila Chen and Ryan Moore are deeply troubled by such issues. In their newly released book Green Living: Reclaim Our Cities' Natural Spaces, they call for a fundamental rethinking of urban design and the role greenery should play in our daily lives.
The landscape of urban living began to shift decades ago. Vast areas of natural vegetation were cleared to make room for sprawling concrete structures and commercial centers, forcing residents to seek nature in distant suburbs. Some grassroots groups fought back. Most notably, a community organizer from Seattle, who relocated to the city in the early 2000s, launched a movement to save a local wetland area from being converted into a shopping mall. Expressing her outrage at the planned destruction, Emily Clark appealed to the city council to “Preserve Seattle as a city where nature and urban life coexist harmoniously, not just a place of concrete and commerce.” Similar initiatives took place in other major cities across the country in the 2010s.
Although these initiatives gained public attention, the harsh reality is that the majority of modern cities remain overwhelmingly dominated by urban development at the expense of green spaces. The coverage of natural areas in cities has been shrinking steadily. In California, for instance, the ratio of urban green spaces to total city area has dropped to a record low, even as the state promotes environmental protection campaigns.
We invest substantial resources in building urban infrastructure that prioritizes speed and efficiency, yet we neglect to consider the true value of green spaces. Do we fully comprehend the social and psychological costs when citizens lack easy access to natural environments for mental rejuvenation? The authors of Green Living are spot-on: it's high time we re-evaluate the urban landscapes right outside our homes.
12.What phenomenon does the author highlight in paragraph 1?
A.Urban commuting has become overly dependent on technology.
B.The reduction of urban green spaces leads to lifestyle changes.
C.Virtual entertainment is replacing outdoor activities completely.
D.Residents in densely populated areas have limited access to jobs.
13.What were the Seattle community organizer and other activists attempting to achieve?
A.Expand commercial development in urban areas.
B.Relocate residents to distant suburbs with more greenery.
C.Safeguard urban natural spaces for a balanced lifestyle.
D.Promote the construction of more shopping malls in wetlands.
14.What can be inferred about the initiatives in California in the 2010s?
A.They successfully increased the ratio of urban green spaces.
B.They failed to reverse the trend of shrinking green areas.
C.They led to a surge in environmental protection donations.
D.They resulted in the closure of all commercial construction projects.
15.Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the text?
A.Urban Rush: Sacrificing Nature?
B.Tech Advance: A Double-edged Sword?
C.Green Spaces: A Luxury or Necessity?
D.Community Activism: A Lost Cause?

(2026·秦皇岛模拟)A recent global study, which surveyed 10,000 young people from 10 countries, showed that nearly 60 percent of them were extremely worried about the future state of the planet. Nearly half of the respondents were affected by such anxiety daily, and three-quarters agreed that “the future is frightening”. Clearly, climate change is not just a threat to the environment that we inhabit. __16__
Psychologists have categorized these feelings of grief, distress, and worry about the current climate emergency under the label of “eco-anxiety”. __17__ Eco-anxiety doesn't just affect young people. It also impacts researchers and those with limited financial resources across the globe.
In 2024, eco-anxiety rose to become one of the leading causes of mental health problems. __18__ Scientists estimate that the world is likely to go beyond safe levels of temperature rise above pre-industrial levels by 2027. In recent years, wildfires have torn through Canada and Greece, and floods have destroyed regions in Pakistan that are home to nearly 33 million people.
__19__ Caroline Hickman, a researcher on eco-anxiety from the University of Bath, warns that the feelings of worry, sorrow and despair associated with eco-anxiety should not be labeled as a medical condition. After all, anyone experiencing these emotions is displaying entirely natural and understandable reactions to the climate crisis. Her suggestion? Use eco-anxiety as a tool for good — as an emotion that can motivate people to act in protection of our planet.
This is why more people are expected to join the fight for climate justice and seek jobs that prioritize environmental sustainability. Campaigners will put increased pressure on fossil fuel industries and the governments that fund them to rapidly phase out the usage of polluting coal, oil, and gas. __20__ We will deal with it by taking action.
A.The reasons are obvious.
B.Concerns about mental health are growing worldwide.
C.It also poses a very real threat to our emotional well-being.
D.Eco-anxiety is not something we will defeat with treatment.
E.Hopefully, eco-anxiety will inspire more discussions about future solutions.
F.It is defined as heightened emotional and mental distress due to climate change.
G.Fortunately, greater levels of eco-anxiety will offer a way to address the climate crisis head-on.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
(2026·哈尔滨模拟)16-year-old Liam rode his rusty bicycle along the forest trail, his biology notebook in the basket filled with notes about bird migrations. Today was the final check for his ecology project — a sound map documenting animal habitats in Greenvalley Forest. But instead of recording woodpecker taps, all he heard was the roar of machines, ready to enter the forest and cut down trees at any time.
“Mr Carter!” Liam burst into the ranger's (护林员) station. The white-haired ranger looked up from his desk, where a map marked with red “X”s caught Liam's eye. “They're really cutting down the west sector next week?”
The ranger sighed. “The town needs land for expansion. The future of Greenvalley Forest depends on the upcoming ‘Town Development Meeting’. The council will approve the logging permit unless we can present conclusive evidence of the harm it will cause.” He then handed Liam a leaflet about the meeting. “It claims the project will cause little harm to nature, not mentioning the displaced (流离失所的) wildlife.” Hearing this, Liam's chest tightened. His sound map had recorded three endangered owl (猫头鹰) nests in that exact area.
Determined to save the forest, Liam ran back to school and put up posters around over lunchtime: “SAVE GREENVALLEY OWLS! MEET AT THE RANGER'S 4 PM!” Only five classmates showed up, including Emma, his lab partner. “Look,” she adjusted her glasses, “emotional appeals won't work. We need scientific evidence.” She pointed to Liam's notebook. “Your sound map has recorded the time of owl calls. That's proof.”
As twilight painted the sky orange, the group hiked into the woods with microphones and cameras. Suddenly, Emma froze. “Did you hear that?” A low whimper came from the bush. Pushing aside branches, they found a brownish yellow little owl lying on the ground, its wings bleeding and its golden eyes wide with fear. “We need to get it to the wildlife center immediately,” Liam said.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Liam carefully picked up the injured little owl with trembling hands.
At the Town Development Meeting three days later, Liam stood before the councilors of the town.

参考范文:
Liam carefully picked up the injured little owl with trembling hands. Emma helped wrap the owl in her scarf to keep it warm and still. The group hurried through the forest heading towards the wildlife center. As they approached, Liam dialed the wildlife center, explaining their situation and requesting immediate assistance. The staff met them at the door, praising them for their quick action. Seeing the owl sent for treatment, Liam felt a mix of relief and hope. Perhaps, if they could save this one life, they could save the entire forest. With determination renewed, he vowed to use every resource they had to fight for Greenvalley.
At the Town Development Meeting three days later, Liam stood before the councilors of the town. With Emma by his side, he presented their findings, highlighting the endangered owl nests and the displacement of wildlife due to the logging. He also showed the pictures of the injured owl and other bird species losing their habitats. The room fell silent as the councilors realized the seriousness of the situation. Liam's voice, though trembling, was firm. “We need to find a way to expand our town without destroying the natural habitat of these animals,” he concluded. The councilors nodded, their faces thoughtful. Two days later, the council announced: “Logging denied due to endangered species.”
