The Earth is our beautiful home. It has high mountains, blue seas and green forests. It 1 us with all the things we need, like food, water and air. But now, the Earth is facing many 2 .
People hurt the Earth in many ways. Fishermen catch too many fish, so there are 3 fish in the sea. Farmers use dangerous chemicals, and the groundwater becomes 4 . Factories burn oil and gas to make energy, and they produce lots of 5 gases. People also cut down many trees to build farms, so forest land is getting 6 .
These problems are very serious. But it’s not too late to help. We can do many small things to protect the Earth. For example, we can bring our own 7 bags to the supermarket instead of plastic ones. We can also ask factories to stop 8 rivers and lakes. Students can take part in beach clean-up days to pick up rubbish.

二、阅读理解
When people started using plastic in the 1950s, they found it such a wonderful thing. It helps keep food better and longer, make machines lighter, and protect against illness. But we find something bad after overusing it.
Plastic is hard to break down (分解). Poisonous things in it pollute the water and soil. They are making environmental (环境的) problems. A whale died (死) in Thailand not long ago. Its stomach was full of plastic bags. Sea birds think little plastic things are food, so they feed their chicks with them, Many animals like these died because of them.
Plastic also goes into our bodies. Very little plastic is almost everywhere, even in water and food. When we eat the food and drink the water with very little plastic in it, it gets into our bodies and it’s bad for our health.
Now, we should take action to use less plastic.
First, we should stop using all single-use (一次性的) plastic we do not need. Don’t use plastic straws (吸管), plastic knives and forks, plastic cups and bags. We can all drink from a glass, without plastic straws.
Second, we can use other things to take the place of plastic ones. Bamboo is friendly to our Earth. It provides food for giant pandas and mountain gorillas. Also, planting bamboo is good for land and soil.
Third, we need to recycle (再利用), We can stop using single use plastic, but we still have many plastic products which are useful to us and not so easy to be taken the place of. For example, workers use many kilos of plastic to make cars because it makes the car lighter and need less energy. This plastic must be recycled.
Waste is a potential resource. We can turn it into new products, creating jobs and protecting Mother Earth at the same time.
1.According to the passage, we use plastic to ________.
①keep food better and longer ②make some machines lighter
③protect against different illness ④help find out many new things
A.①②③ B.②③④ C.①②④ D.①③④
2.Why does using too much plastic make environmental problems?
A.Animals like eating plastic things.
B.Plastic is hard to break down in nature.
C.Sea birds use plastic as food special for their chicks.
D.Plastic is almost everywhere in everyone’s body now.
3.What does the underlined word “them” in the second paragraph refer to?
A.Sea birds. B.Plastic things C.Animals. D.Chicks.
4.Which of the following is good for the environment?
A.Throw away the single-use plastic.
B.Pay for the plastic bags while shopping.
C.Drink with a plastic straw while in the restaurant.
D.Use bamboo to take the place of single-use plastic.
5.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Buy What You Really Need B.Different Uses of Plastic
C.Plastic, Dangerous or Useful. D.Turn the Waste into Money
三、从方框中选词或短语并用其适当形式完成短文。
hunt, solution, protect, however, blow, war, harm, plant, cut down, own
Our planet is facing serious environmental problems, 1 , there are many ways we can help.

【答案】
1.A 2.A 3.B 4.C 5.C 6.B 7.B 8.A 9.D 10.B
【导语】本文主要讲述了地球面临的环境问题,如污染和森林减少,并呼吁人们采取行动,通过小事共同保护我们唯一的家园。
【详解】
1.句意:它为我们提供生存所需的一切物资,比如食物、水和空气。
固定搭配“provide sb. with sth.”表示“为某人提供某物”,原文“all the things we need”对应“提供”的语义。gives需用“give sb. sth.”结构;takes“拿走”、makes“制造”均不符合语境。
2.句意:但如今,地球正面临诸多环境问题。
下文提到过度捕捞、污染等负面现象,说明地球面临“问题”。 people“人”、animals“动物”、plants“植物”均与“面临”的负面语境无关。
3.句意:渔民过度捕捞,海里的鱼类变得越来越少。
前半句“catch too many fish”(过度捕鱼)导致鱼“越来越少”,“fewer”修饰可数名词“fish”。more and more与原文逻辑相反;bigger and bigger“越来越大”、cleaner and cleaner“越来越干净”不符合语境。
4.句意:农民使用有害化学药剂,地下水因此遭到污染变浑浊。
“dangerous chemicals”(危险化学品)会使地下水变“脏”。 clean“干净的”、fresh“新鲜的”与化学品污染矛盾;cold“冷的”无关联。
5.句意:工厂燃烧油气生产能源,排放出大量有害气体。
工厂燃烧石油和天然气产生“有害”气体,呼应上文“hurt the Earth”。safe“安全的”、clean“干净的”、useful“有用的”均与污染逻辑不符。
6.句意:人们砍伐大量树木开垦农田,森林面积不断缩减。
“cut down many trees”(砍伐树木)导致森林面积“减少”,“less”修饰不可数名词“land”。 more“更多”与原文逻辑相反;bigger“更大”、larger“更大”不符合语境。
7.句意:比如,我们可以自带购物袋去超市,不使用塑料袋。
“bring...to the supermarket”(带到超市)对应“购物袋”(shopping bags)。plastic“塑料”与“instead of plastic ones”矛盾;school“学校”、food“食物”与超市场景无关。
8.句意:我们也可以要求工厂停止污染河流与湖泊。
固定搭配“stop doing sth.”(停止做某事),需用动名词“polluting”。pollute动词原形;to pollute不定式;polluted过去分词,均不符合语法结构。
9.句意:每一个微小的行动都意义重大。
“Every small action matters”意为“每个小行动都重要”,强调行动的意义。pays“付款”;costs“花费”;works“起作用”,语义不如“matters”贴切。
10.句意:我们只有这一个家园,必须好好守护它。
副词“well”修饰动词“protect”,表示“保护好地球”。good形容词;bad“坏地”、badly“糟糕地”均不符合积极语境。
二、阅读理解
When people started using plastic in the 1950s, they found it such a wonderful thing. It helps keep food better and longer, make machines lighter, and protect against illness. But we find something bad after overusing it.
Plastic is hard to break down (分解). Poisonous things in it pollute the water and soil. They are making environmental (环境的) problems. A whale died (死) in Thailand not long ago. Its stomach was full of plastic bags. Sea birds think little plastic things are food, so they feed their chicks with them, Many animals like these died because of them.
Plastic also goes into our bodies. Very little plastic is almost everywhere, even in water and food. When we eat the food and drink the water with very little plastic in it, it gets into our bodies and it’s bad for our health.
Now, we should take action to use less plastic.
First, we should stop using all single-use (一次性的) plastic we do not need. Don’t use plastic straws (吸管), plastic knives and forks, plastic cups and bags. We can all drink from a glass, without plastic straws.
Second, we can use other things to take the place of plastic ones. Bamboo is friendly to our Earth. It provides food for giant pandas and mountain gorillas. Also, planting bamboo is good for land and soil.
Third, we need to recycle (再利用), We can stop using single use plastic, but we still have many plastic products which are useful to us and not so easy to be taken the place of. For example, workers use many kilos of plastic to make cars because it makes the car lighter and need less energy. This plastic must be recycled.
Waste is a potential resource. We can turn it into new products, creating jobs and protecting Mother Earth at the same time.
1.According to the passage, we use plastic to ________.
①keep food better and longer ②make some machines lighter
③protect against different illness ④help find out many new things
A.①②③ B.②③④ C.①②④ D.①③④
2.Why does using too much plastic make environmental problems?
A.Animals like eating plastic things.
B.Plastic is hard to break down in nature.
C.Sea birds use plastic as food special for their chicks.
D.Plastic is almost everywhere in everyone’s body now.
3.What does the underlined word “them” in the second paragraph refer to?
A.Sea birds. B.Plastic things C.Animals. D.Chicks.
4.Which of the following is good for the environment?
A.Throw away the single-use plastic.
B.Pay for the plastic bags while shopping.
C.Drink with a plastic straw while in the restaurant.
D.Use bamboo to take the place of single-use plastic.
5.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Buy What You Really Need B.Different Uses of Plastic
C.Plastic, Dangerous or Useful. D.Turn the Waste into Money
【答案】1.A 2.B 3.B 4.D 5.C
【导语】本文主要讲述了塑料给人们带来便利,但过度使用带来污染和健康问题。
【详解】
1.细节理解题。根据“It helps keep food better and longer, make machines lighter, and protect against illness.”可知,塑料有助于更好地保存食物,使机器更轻,并防止疾病。故选A。
2.细节理解题。根据“Plastic is hard to break down (分解). Poisonous things in it pollute the water and soil. They are making environmental (环境的) problems.”可知,塑料很难分解,其中有毒的东西会污染水和土壤,造成环境问题。故选B。
3.词义猜测题。根据“Sea birds think little plastic things are food, so they feed their chicks with them, Many animals like these died because of them.”可知,海鸟认为小塑料东西是食物,所以它们用它们来喂养它们的幼鸟,许多像这样的动物因为它们而死亡。因此文中“them”指的是“little plastic things”。故选B。
4.细节理解题。根据“Second, we can use other things to take the place of plastic ones. Bamboo is friendly to our Earth. It provides food for giant pandas and mountain gorillas. Also, planting bamboo is good for land and soil.”可知,可以用竹子代替一次性塑料。故选D。
5.最佳标题题。根据“When people started using plastic in the 1950s, they found it such a wonderful thing. It helps keep food better and longer, make machines lighter, and protect against illness. But we find something bad after overusing it.”及全文可知,本文主要讲了塑料给人们带来便利,但过度使用带来污染和健康问题。所以C选项“塑料,危险还是有用”符合文章最佳标题,故选C。
三、从方框中选词或短语并用其适当形式完成短文。
hunt, solution, protect, however, blow, war, harm, plant, cut down, own
Our planet is facing serious environmental problems, 1 , there are many ways we can help.

【答案】
1.however 2.harmful 3.solutions 4.cut down 5.blows 6.planting 7.hunting 8.own 9.Wars 10.protecting
【导语】本文主要介绍了地球面临的环境问题以及我们可以采取的应对措施。
