Emma loved the ocean. Every morning she walked along the beach. But lately, plastic bottles and bags were washing up on the shore. Emma decided to take action. She and her friends formed "Ocean Guardians" and organised clean-up activities every weekend.
One day, Emma found a small turtle tangled in a plastic net. She carefully freed it and took it to a rescue centre. She realised that cleaning the beach was not enough. She started giving speeches at school, telling people to reduce plastic use. Her efforts paid off — the local supermarket stopped providing free plastic bags.
The ocean produces more than half of the world's oxygen. 41___, it is facing serious threats from plastic pollution. Many sea animals mistake plastic for food or get entangled in nets. Emma believes education is the key to solving this problem. She often says, "If we don't teach the next generation to respect nature, who will?" She has written a book about her experiences, hoping to reach a wider audience. Her book has inspired young people around the world.
42___ Emma's efforts, the local government has taken steps to protect the ocean. They have set up more recycling bins and increased fines for littering. The town has become a model for environmental protection.
Emma's story reminds us that we all have a role to play. We must find a fine balance between development and conservation. As Emma often says, "The ocean is our life. We must treat it 43___ respect."

Eco-Travel: Travel Green, Travel Smart
Are you planning your next holiday? Why not try eco-travel? Eco-travel is a way of travelling that helps protect the environment and respects local cultures. Here are some tips for being a green traveller:
Choose green transport. Take a train or a bus instead of flying. If you must fly, choose a direct flight to reduce carbon emissions. Once you arrive, walk, cycle or use public transport as much as possible.
Stay in eco-friendly hotels. Look for hotels that have green certifications. These hotels save water and energy, reduce waste, and support local communities.
Respect nature and wildlife. Don't pick flowers or feed wild animals. Stay on marked paths when hiking. Remember: take only photos, leave only footprints.
Support local economies. Buy local products and eat at local restaurants. This helps the local people and reduces the carbon footprint of transporting goods from far away.
Reduce, reuse, recycle. Bring your own reusable bag, water bottle and cutlery. Avoid single-use plastics like straws and plastic bags.

Li Wei is a 16-year-old student from a small village in Guizhou. His village is surrounded by mountains and forests, but in recent years, he noticed that the forests were getting smaller. Many trees were being cut down, and some wild animals disappeared.
Li Wei decided to do something. He started by talking to his classmates about the importance of protecting forests. Together, they formed an environmental club at school. They organised tree-planting activities and cleaned up litter in the nearby woods. They also made posters to teach villagers about the dangers of cutting down too many trees.
At first, some villagers didn't understand. They said they needed to cut trees to build houses and make money. Li Wei didn't give up. He invited a local forestry expert to give a talk in the village. The expert explained that healthy forests bring rain, prevent floods, and provide homes for animals. Without forests, the land could become barren.
Slowly, the villagers began to change their minds. Some joined the students in planting trees. The village head also made new rules to limit tree cutting. Now, Li Wei's village has planted over 5,000 trees in the past two years. Birds and small animals are coming back.
Li Wei says, "I'm just a student, but I believe everyone can make a difference. Protecting nature is not just the job of adults — it's everyone's responsibility."

C. They stopped the villagers from cutting any trees.
D. They wrote a letter to the government.
63. How did Li Wei persuade the villagers who didn't understand?
A. He argued with them until they agreed.
B. He invited a forestry expert to give a talk.
C. He paid them not to cut trees.
D. He planted trees in their yards.
64. What does the underlined word "barren" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Rich and fertile.
B. Full of life.
C. Dry and empty.
D. Covered with trees.
65. What can we learn from Li Wei's story?
A. Only adults can protect the environment.
B. Students should focus on studying, not environmental activities.
C. Everyone, no matter how young, can make a difference.
D. Cutting down trees is always wrong.
C
Imagine waking up to the sound of birds singing in a forest, but instead of real birds, the sound comes from a speaker hidden in a tree. This is the reality in some parks in the Netherlands, where artificial bird songs are being played to make up for the loss of real birds due to pollution and habitat loss.
Scientists have been studying the effects of nature sounds on human health for years. They found that listening to birdsong, flowing water, and wind in the trees can lower stress, reduce blood pressure, and improve mood. But as natural environments are destroyed, these healing sounds are disappearing.
In response, some artists and scientists have teamed up to create "sound restorations". They record natural sounds in healthy ecosystems and play them in degraded areas. One project in Amsterdam played recordings of insects and birds in a park where many species had vanished. Visitors reported feeling calmer and more connected to nature, even though the sounds were not real.
However, some ecologists worry that artificial sounds might give people a false sense of security. If people think nature is fine because they hear birds singing, they might not realise the urgent need to protect real ecosystems. "Sound restorations can be a useful tool for education and therapy," says Dr. Maria Visser, an ecologist at Utrecht University, "but they should never replace real conservation efforts."
The debate continues, but one thing is clear: humans need nature, not just for survival, but for peace of mind. Whether real or artificial, the sounds of nature remind us of what we stand to lose — and what we must fight to protect.
66. Why are artificial bird songs played in some parks in the Netherlands?
A. To attract more tourists to the parks.
B. To make up for the loss of real birds.
C. To teach birds how to sing.
D. To test new speaker technology.
67. What did scientists find about nature sounds?
A. They can help people sleep better.
B. They can lower stress and improve mood.
C. They can make people smarter.
D. They can replace medicine.
68. What is the purpose of "sound restorations" mentioned in the text?
A. To create new music for concerts.
B. To play recorded natural sounds in degraded areas.
C. To record the sounds of extinct animals.
D. To teach people how to sing like birds.
69. What is Dr. Maria Visser's opinion about artificial sounds?
A. They should replace real conservation efforts.
B. They are useless and should be stopped.
C. They can be useful but should not replace real conservation.
D. They are better than real nature sounds.
70. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Artificial bird songs are better than real ones.
B. Nature sounds are disappearing and artificial ones are being used as a substitute.
C. Parks in the Netherlands are the best in the world.
D. Ecologists disagree with artists on everything.

For years, solar panels have been fixed on rooftops or in large solar farms on the ground. But what if we could turn the surfaces of roads, car parks and playgrounds into power generators? That's the idea behind solar pavements — roads and paths made with solar panels built into them.
The technology is not new, but it's improving. In 2016, a solar bike path in the Netherlands became the world's first. Since then, similar projects have appeared in France, China and the United States. The panels are covered with a strong, non-slip material that can bear the weight of cars and trucks.
Supporters say solar pavements could produce huge amounts of clean energy. Roads cover a lot of land — in the US alone, there are over 4 million kilometres of roads. If even a small part of them were solar, they could power millions of homes. Solar pavements could also have other benefits: they can melt snow in winter, charge electric cars as they drive, and display road signs with built-in LED lights.
However, there are challenges. Solar pavements are expensive to build and maintain. The panels can get dirty or damaged by heavy traffic, which reduces their efficiency. They also produce less energy than traditional solar panels because they are flat and sometimes shaded by cars. Some experts argue that it's better to put solar panels on rooftops, where they are cheaper and more efficient.
Despite the challenges, many believe solar pavements have a bright future. As technology improves and costs come down, we may see more roads that not only take us places but also power our lives.
71. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Solar panels are only useful on rooftops.
B. Solar pavements are a promising but challenging technology.
C. Roads in the Netherlands are the best in the world.
D. Electric cars are the future of transport.
72. What happened in the Netherlands in 2016?
A. The first solar bike path was built.
B. The first electric car was invented.
C. The first solar farm was opened.
D. The first non-slip material was created.
73. According to the text, what is one benefit of solar pavements?
A. They can fly cars over traffic.
B. They can melt snow in winter.
C. They can clean the air automatically.
D. They can grow plants on the road.
74. Why do some experts prefer rooftop solar panels?
A. They are cheaper and more efficient.
B. They look more beautiful.
C. They are easier to clean.
D. They can be used at night.
75. What is the writer's attitude towards solar pavements?
A. Completely against them.
B. Neutral — they see both benefits and challenges.
C. They think solar pavements are a bad idea.
D. They believe solar pavements will replace all roads.

The "30 by 30" plan is a global goal to protect 30% of the earth's land and oceans by the year 2030. It was agreed upon at the United Nations Biodiversity Conference in 2022. The plan aims to stop the loss of biodiversity and fight climate change.
Currently, about 17% of land and 8% of oceans are protected. But scientists say this is not enough. Many species are dying out at a rate faster than at any time in human history. Habitats are being destroyed by deforestation, pollution, and urbanisation. The "30 by 30" plan would create more national parks, wildlife reserves, and marine protected areas.
Supporters of the plan say it is necessary to save life on earth. They point out that protected areas not only help wildlife but also provide clean air and water for humans. They also store carbon, which helps fight global warming.
However, some people are concerned about the plan. In some countries, local communities and indigenous peoples have been forced to leave their homes to make way for protected areas. Critics say the plan should respect the rights of these communities and include them in decision-making.
The success of "30 by 30" will depend on international cooperation. Countries need to share resources and knowledge. They also need to make sure that protected areas are not just lines on a map but are well-managed and truly safe for nature.
76. What is the "30 by 30" plan?
A. To plant 30 trees by 2030.
B. To protect 30% of the earth's land and oceans by 2030.
C. To reduce carbon emissions by 30% by 2030.
D. To build 30 new national parks by 2030.
77. What percentage of the earth's oceans is currently protected?
A. 8%. B. 17%. C. 30%. D. 50%.
78. Why do supporters say the "30 by 30" plan is necessary?
A. It will create more jobs for people.
B. It will help wildlife and provide clean air and water.
C. It will make all countries richer.
D. It will stop all pollution immediately.
79. What is one criticism of the plan mentioned in the text?
A. It is too expensive to carry out.
B. It might force local communities to leave their homes.
C. It will not help fight climate change.
D. It is impossible to achieve.
80. What is needed for the success of the plan according to the text?
A. More money from rich countries only.
B. International cooperation and well-managed protected areas.
C. Building walls around protected areas.
D. Stopping all human activities everywhere.

Urban farming is becoming popular in cities around the world. From rooftop gardens to vertical farms, people are growing food in unexpected places. In Singapore, where land is scarce, the government encourages rooftop farming. In Detroit, USA, empty lots have been turned into community gardens where neighbours grow vegetables together.
Urban farming has many benefits. It reduces the distance food travels from farm to table, which cuts down on carbon emissions. It also provides fresh, healthy food to city dwellers. Moreover, it brings communities together and educates children about where food comes from.
However, urban farming also faces challenges. Space is limited, and soil in cities can be polluted. Some urban farmers use hydroponics — growing plants in water instead of soil — to solve this problem. Others use raised beds with clean soil brought in from elsewhere.
Despite the challenges, urban farming is growing. It offers a way for cities to become more sustainable and resilient. As one urban farmer said, "We may not be able to feed the whole city, but we can inspire people to think differently about food and nature."

参考范文:
Dear fellow students,
Our school is carrying out an activity called "Building a Green Campus". As students, we have the responsibility to protect our school environment. Here are some suggestions for us to follow.
First, let's save water and electricity. Remember to turn off the lights and taps when we don't need them. Second, we should reduce waste. Never litter and always sort our rubbish properly. Third, choose green ways to travel. Whenever possible, walk or ride a bike to school instead of asking our parents to drive us.
In my opinion, we can also start a small garden on the school rooftop to grow some plants. This will not only beautify our campus but also help us learn about nature.
Let's take action now and make our campus a better place to study and live in!
