I first realized that plastic was a serious matter for our planet during my travel in Western Australia. One day about 12 years ago, I stopped at a supermarket along the Coral Bay coast to buy some groceries. But the lady at the counter told me that the supermarket didn't sell any shopping bags to prevent plastic going into the ocean and help preserve the endangered turtles (海龟) living in that area. After a first reaction of surprise, I gathered all purchases in my arms and left, reflecting on what I had been told.
The experience in that trip made me more conscious of my impact and pushed me to adopt various habits to travel and live more sustainably. For example, I always carried a cotton bag when I went shopping.
My travel to Indonesia was another life-changing experience that strengthened my determination to turn to a zero-waste lifestyle. In Indonesia, finding safe drinkable water was always a challenge, so I traveled with my water bottle, managing to avoid almost entirely the use of plastic during my trip.
However, I was seriously struck by my stay on the Libaran Island, where a sustainable turtle conservation project was launched 10 years ago. Despite the big efforts by the project staff and the community at cleaning up the beaches and creatively reusing plastic, the shore was washed daily with tons of plastic coming from the tides. Walking on a carpet of plastic that almost prevented me from seeing the beach underneath was quite shocking.
Facing this global issue in person, I felt a sense of sadness and anger that soon turned into determination: to do as much as possible to reduce plastic in my life. Sometimes we might feel helpless in front of big problems, but we should be aware that small changes could actually make a difference step by step!
1.How does the author introduce the topic of the text?

2.What did the author decide to do after the trip about 12 years ago?
A.Cut short the travel. B.Shop less frequently.
C.Lead a green life. D.Purify drinking water.
3.What do we know about the project in paragraph 4?
A.It had no clear goal.
B.It didn't work out very well.
C.It met the islanders' needs.
D.It aimed to prevent turtle attacks.
4.What does the author think of the plastic problem?

(2026河南新乡月考)拓展语篇: 社会热点
Imagine a world in 2050 where cities are full of autonomous vehicles, AI-driven assistants perfectly fit into our daily routines, and virtual landscapes coexist with reality. From technological advances to climate change impacts, the next few decades will undoubtedly reshape the structure of our existence.
In this new era, artificial intelligence and robotics will take center stage, transforming how we interact with our environment and one another. They will have evolved from mere tools to companions(同伴) that predict our needs and desires. The once-distant dream of having AI-driven personal assistants is now a reality, as they are managing our schedules, handling our communications, and offering personalized recommendations with extraordinary accuracy.
However, as we fast-forward to 2050, one cannot help but think about the huge effects of climate change on our planet. At present, most of us are lacking the imagination of what daily life will be like when we have slashed our carbon emissions, from our homes and food to travel and the landscapes around us. What follows is an attempt to show you how a day will look in a world that achieves zero greenhouse gas emissions.
Edie Vaughan, a young girl in 2050, lives in Toronto, Canada, a place that is among the most popular destinations for its healthy climate and clean water resources. There are forests, and giant machines taking carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) out of the atmosphere. At that time, there are no office or industrial jobs anymore: artificial intelligence and robots have taken care of them. The few jobs left are in service, culture or health care. Luckily, Edie has her job. Every morning, she checks the balance in her Personal Carbon Allowance (PCA) account to see if she has enough to buy another battery for her e-bike. If she doesn't have enough, she will have to buy carbon credits, and they are expensive.
This story of 2050 is one of hope and possibility—a reminder that while enjoying the convenience brought by technological progress, we should also be responsible for the environment.
5.What does the author mainly discuss in paragraph 2?
A.The advancement of autonomous vehicles.
B.The use of AI-driven personal assistants.
C.The interaction between man and nature.
D.The role of AI and robotics in daily life.
6.What does the underlined word “slashed” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Increased. B.Clarified. C.Reduced. D.Adjusted.
7.What is one factor for Canada being a popular destination?
A.Plentiful water. B.Health care.
C.Advanced technology. D.Pleasant weather.
8.What does the author intend to tell us?
A.A look into Edie Vaughan's life.
B.What our life will be like in 2050.
C.Technology helps control the environment.
D.How we can handle climate change.
答案与分层梯度式解析
Part 1 Starting out & Understanding ideas
基础过关练
Ⅰ.1.splendid 2.scenery 3.delicate 4.landmarks
Ⅱ.1.steadily 考查副词。设空处作状语,修饰increased,应用副词形式,故填steadily。
类比启发
以-y结尾的形容词变为副词时,通常需要将y改为i,然后加-ly。例如:happy→happily;busy→busily;angry→angrily;easy→easily。
2.to 考查介词。bring...to life为固定短语,意为“使……更生动;使……更有趣”。
3.massive 考查形容词。句意:男孩转过身,看到那个庞然大物后僵住了,接着便慌慌张张地朝我跑来。本空修饰名词creature,表示“巨大的”,应用形容词massive。
4.concerns 考查名词复数。句意:“食品安全无疑是中国民众最为关注的问题之一。”绿色和平组织中国分部的食品与农业活动家王静说道。among the top concerns意为“最受关注的问题之一”。
5.wandering 考查动词的-ing形式。句意:传说有一天,当Cimabue在乡间闲逛时,他看到一个牧羊的小男孩正在画他的羊群,画中的羊群栩栩如生,于是Cimabue当即邀请他来到佛罗伦萨,让他学习绘画技艺。分析句子可知,此处是状语从句的省略,完整形式为:when he was wandering around the countryside,省略了“he was”,故填wandering。
方法归纳
解决“when/while/unless (动词)”类题目时,如果动词的逻辑主语和动词是主动关系,一般填动词的-ing形式;如果动词的逻辑主语和动词是被动关系,一般填过去分词。如:
When listening (listen) to rock music, you had better turn down the volume.
Unless invited (invite) to speak, you can keep silent.
Ⅲ.1.at your leisure 2.such as 3.catch your eye
4.make sure 5.Thanks to
Ⅳ.1.bamboo is so strong that 2.how to pronounce my name 3.with its branches reaching out 4.before the sun sets
能力提升练
Ⅰ.1.steadily 考查副词。设空处与前面的fast并列,修饰动词runs,因此用副词形式。故填steadily。
2.which 考查定语从句。句意:青藏铁路历时多年建成,它记录了全中国人民克服最困难的挑战的努力。设空处无提示词,空前的句子意思完整,不缺成分,与后面的句子用逗号隔开,且空后句子缺少主语,由此可推测设空处引导非限制性定语从句。先行词是the Qinghai-Xizang Railway,指物,设空处在从句中作主语,应用which引导该从句。
3.to catch 考查不定式。分析句子可知,该句中已有谓语动词is,故此处应用非谓语动词。这里表示“第一个引起我注意的地标是清水河大桥”,名词landmark前面有序数词first修饰,故此处应用不定式作后置定语。
4.were built 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:为了防止对湿地和草原的破坏,格尔木和拉萨之间修建了675架桥梁。 本句叙述的是过去发生的事情,且675 bridges与build之间是被动关系,故应用一般过去时的被动语态;主语675 bridges表示复数意义,故填were built。
5.Located 考查过去分词。句意:唐古拉站位于海拔五千多米处,是世界上最高的火车站。本句主语Tanggula Station与locate之间为被动关系,应用过去分词作状语,设空处位于句首,首字母应大写。故填Located。
6.is 考查时态和主谓一致。此处表示客观事实,应用一般现在时,主语Tanggula Station表示单数意义,故填is。
7.healthy 考查形容词。由空前的连系动词stay可知,此处应用形容词构成系表结构。故填healthy。
8.achievement 考查名词。and为并列连词, 连接前后两个并列成分,句中and前面为名词pride,故后面也应该用名词achievement。
9.from 考查介词。protect...from...意为“保护……免受……”。
10.an 考查冠词。句意:它确实是一条非凡的“天路”。此处表示泛指,且extraordinary 以元音音素开头,故本空应用不定冠词an。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了中国在植树造林方面取得了巨大的成功,为应对全球气候变化、促进绿色低碳发展作出了贡献。
【高频词汇】 1.coverage n.覆盖范围 2.earnings n.[pl.]收入;薪水 3.improvement n.改进,改善 4.go into effect生效 5.remarkable adj.非凡的;引人注目的
1.largest 考查形容词最高级。句意:中国在植树造林方面取得了巨大成就,创造了世界上最大的人工林之一,其森林覆盖率从8.6%提升到了25%以上。此处为“one of+the+形容词最高级+名词复数”结构,表示“最……的……之一”,故填largest。
2.published 考查过去分词。句意:2019年发表在Nature Sustainability上的一项研究结果显示,全球至少25%的植被扩张来自中国。分析句子可知,本句已有谓语showed,因此设空处应用非谓语动词。publish与A 2019 finding之间为被动关系,应用过去分词作后置定语,故填published。
3.globally 考查副词。设空处作状语,应用global的副词形式,故填globally。
4.the 考查冠词。句意:2022年,中国林业和草原产业总产值达到8.37万亿元。结合句意可知,此处的value为特指,指的是“中国林业和草原产业”的总价值,所以此处使用定冠词the。
5.Protecting 考查动词的-ing形式。句意:保护国家的森林能够促进绿色低碳发展,从而为世界带来诸多益处。设空处作主语,此处表示一般的行为,应用动词的-ing形式, 句首单词首字母应大写,故填Protecting。
知识辨析
不定式(短语)也可作主语,但常表示某次具体的行为,而动词的-ing形式作主语时,常表示一般的行为或描述已知或普遍事实。
6.was revised 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:2019年,该国的森林保护法进行了修订,并于2020年正式生效。根据时间状语In 2019可知,此处应用一般过去时,主语the country's law on forest protection表示单数意义,谓语用单数,主语与动词revise之间为被动关系,所以此处使用一般过去时的被动语态,故填was revised。
7.advances 考查名词复数。句意:在中国取得显著环保成就的背后,是造林和治沙技术的进步。该句为介词短语Behind...位于句首的完全倒装句,设空处为名词作主语,advance意为“进步”,根据谓语动词are可知,此处应用名词的复数形式,故填advances。
8.scientific 考查形容词。句意:“中国政府所采取的科学有效的防控措施极大地改变了这个县,这让我看到了改善家乡环境的希望。”一位来自甘肃民勤的农民说道。设空处与形容词effective并列,修饰名词短语prevention and control methods,应用science的形容词形式,故填scientific。
9.which 考查定语从句。分析句子可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰前面整个主句,故填which。
10.to explore 考查不定式。句意:更重要的是,这是全世界探索解决气候变化的办法的一种有效途径,从而推动了这个星球的绿色发展。名词way后跟不定式作后置定语,故填to explore。
Ⅲ.A

3.B 推理判断题。根据第四段第二句可知,该项目收效甚微,即作用不大。故选B。

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要畅想了2050年科技与气候变化对人类生活的影响,描绘了人工智能和机器人如何融入日常生活,以及在实现零温室气体排放的世界中,人们如何适应新的生活方式。

6.C 词义猜测题。画线词下文“What follows is...emissions.”提到“零温室气体排放的世界”,这是“when we have slashed our carbon emissions...us”的结果。所以,画线词slashed意为“减少”。故选C。
7.D 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句可知,加拿大多伦多因其有益于健康的气候和清洁的水资源成为最受欢迎的目的地之一。D项“Pleasant weather(宜人的天气)”与原文中“healthy climate”含义相近。故选D。
8.B 推理判断题。
Para. 1
