Each group was asked to find a way to reduce 1 at school, not just clean it up. At first, we felt a bit lost. We discussed several ____2____, such as cutting down food waste or using both sides of paper, but none of them seemed good enough. While thinking about the problem, we began to observe (观察) the rubbish bins around the school ____3____. We noticed that the bins were ____4____ mixed waste-used paper, plastic bottles, and food waste all thrown together. Because everything was mixed, many recyclable materials could not be ____5____ and were treated as rubbish. We realized that if students learned to sort waste, much of it could be recycled. In this way, we could truly reduce the waste. With this goal in mind, we took action. First, we searched online for ____6____ about waste sorting. Then we designed posters to show how to sort waste in a ____7____ way. After that, we explained our idea to the headteacher and suggested that the school provide recycling bins. She ____8____, and soon new bins were placed in each hallway. During breaks, we stood beside the bins to ____9____ students to throw rubbish into the right ones. As time went by, more students developed the ____10____ of sorting rubbish. Now recyclable materials are reused, and food waste is turned into compost (堆肥).

Even waste can become something magical. You just need a little creativity.” Inspired, Linda began to create toys at home. She turned a shoe box into a toy theatre, old socks into dolls and plastic bottles into rocket ships. Soon her bedroom became a world of wonder. Later, Linda visited her teacher Mr. Thompson.

Each spring, they plant more trees. This year, Peter invited some friends to join in the tree-planting on Earth Day. “Did you know that each day, one mature tree produces enough oxygen for four people to breathe?” Peter asked his friends excitedly. He continued, “But that’s not all. Trees also absorb (吸收) carbon dioxide.” “My parents have always encouraged me to care for the earth,” he explained to his friends. “They say that what is good for the earth is good for everyone. So we should respect our planet and keep it healthy.” When the trees arrived, they made sure they had plenty of water. They headed out to the field and started digging. “First, dig a big hole,” explained Peter, who knew what he was doing after years of practice. “Make sure the roots fit into the hole. Pour a little water into the hole and put your tree inside. Then, cover the roots and fill the hole with soil. Use your feet to pack it in well around the new tree.” It was clear that this young boy took pride in what he and his family did each spring. “We don’t have to plant hundreds of trees,” said Peter’s father. “Even if you can only plant one tree each year, it will add up over time. As the saying goes, every little bit helps.” Peter’s family set aside the whole weekend for planting trees. And so did Peter’s friends. Seeing the new trees standing neatly upright, Peter’s friends decided to join the activity again next year. Each tree they plant is a gift to the future. 33. What does Peter think of trees? A. Dangerous. B. Useful. C. Expensive. D. Useless. 34. When did Peter invite his friends to plant trees? A. On Earth Day. B. On Tree Planting Day. C. On Children’s Day. D. On New Year’s Day. 35. Why did Peter’s friends decide to join again next year? A. Because they could get much money. B. Because the tree planting activity was valuable. C. Because Peter’s father asked them to help. D.

C 【导语】本文讲述了Peter一家在地球日植树的传统，Peter邀请朋友一起参与，通过讲解树木的作用、示范种植步骤，传递了“每一点行动都能为地球带来改变”的理念。 33. 细节理解题。根据第三段“Did you know that each day, one mature tree produces enough oxygen for four people to breathe? ...He continued, ‘But that’s not all. Trees also absorb carbon dioxide.’”可知，Peter向朋友介绍了树木制造氧气、吸收二氧化碳的作用，说明他认为树木是有用的。故选B。 34. 细节理解题。根据第二段“This year, Peter invited some friends to join in the tree-planting on Earth Day.”直接说明，Peter是在地球日邀请朋友一起植树的，故选A。 35. 推理判断题。根据第7-9段“Even if you can only plant one tree each year, it will add up over time...

Each tree they plant is a gift to the future.”提到了朋友们感受到了植树活动的意义，明白每棵树都是给未来的礼物，因此决定明年继续参加，说明他们认为这项活动是有价值的。故选B。 36. 标题归纳题。全文围绕Peter一家和朋友在地球日植树展开，结尾点明主旨“Each tree they plant is a gift to the future”，即植树是为未来种下希望，故选C。 D [2026苏州中考] It is easy to be worried about the future of our planet. Forests are disappearing. Water cycles are breaking down. Pollution is harming cities. But I am still a little bit hopeful about our planet’s future. Nature is making a comeback in many places. Even in the worst landscapes, nature is developing and regaining its own land. Wolves are moving across Europe and there are more tigers in India. I am not saying we should stop worrying about losing biodiversity (生物多样性), but the good news is that nature isn’t so fragile. And in many parts of the world, we are giving it more room to do its thing. For example, farmers are returning land to nature in some areas. The population is getting smaller. We used to think a continuing baby boom (生育高峰) was a danger to the planet. But today, couples are having half as many children as half a century ago. In fact, the fear in much of the world is that the population is becoming smaller. Our modern world depends less on materials. This century, the UK’s consumption (消耗) of materials has fallen from 16 tonnes a year per head to 11 tonnes. Why? We make much more with less by using modern ways of producing goods. And today’s wealthy people spend less money on materials and more on lifestyle experiences: eating out, taking exercise, attending concerts and so on. I agree that the worst could still happen. To avoid it, we have no choice but to act. And that means staying positive. 37. How does the writer explain people’s worries about the planet in paragraph 1? A. By telling stories. B. By describing facts. C. By offering advice. D. By comparing ideas. 38. What does the underlined word “fragile” probably mean in paragraph 2? A. Active. B. Light. C. Weak. D. Quiet. 39. According to the passage, today’s wealthy people may spend more money ▲ . A. doing sports B. buying clothes C. producing goods D. holding concerts 40. What is the passage mainly about? A. How we can protect our future planet. B. How we can control population growth. C. Why we should reduce the use of materials. D. Why we should stay hopeful about the earth. 【答案】 37. B 38. C 39. A 40. D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述虽然地球面临森林消失、水循环破坏、污染等诸多危机，但作者从自然复苏、人口增速放缓、物质消耗减少三个角度，阐述了人们仍应当对地球未来抱有希望。 37. 细节理解题。根据第一段“Forests are disappearing. Water cycles are breaking down. Pollution is harming cities.”，通过描述地球当下存在的各类环境现实问题，来解释人们对地球未来的担忧，故选B 38. 词义猜测题。分析第二段上、下文：自然界多地复苏，狼群重现、老虎数量增加，人类也留出土地给自然，由此可知大自然并没有那么脆弱，划线词fragile含义为“脆弱的、虚弱的”，结合四个选项，weak符合语境，故选C。 39. 推理判断题。根据第四段“today's wealthy people spend less money on materials and more on lifestyle experiences: eating out, taking exercise, attending concerts and so on.”，其中taking exercise对应doing sports（做运动），故选A。 40. 主旨大意题。开篇点明虽地球问题重重，但作者仍对地球未来抱有希望，中间分三点给出乐观依据，结尾呼吁保持积极心态，核心是解释我们应当对地球保持乐观的原因，故选D。 第二节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 In many countries of the world, people are saying, “We must do something about our rubbish because it really makes us worried. We don’t want our world to become a big landfill site (垃圾填埋场).” In Ireland, to reduce plastic bags, the government decided to make people pay for them. Since 2002, Irish people have been paying for the bags they take home from the shops. Of course, they soon stopped buying new bags and started taking bags with them when shopping. Some countries have made even bigger changes. In 2006, the people of Zanzibar decided to stop making plastic bags. They were worried the bags were killing fish and sea animals. They also said nobody could bring plastic bags into the country. Soon there were no plastic bags in the country. One of the most exciting recycling ideas is Freecycle. It helps the environment by recycling useful things. It has grown around the world. People join a Freecycle group because they are looking for things or have things that they want to give to other people. Perhaps they have a chair they do not need any more, or they want a camera. They leave a message on the Internet to tell people what they want or what they are going to give. Nobody buys or sells anything—people give things to other people who want them. Recycling is important and sometimes it is exciting too, but it is only one part of the answer. Using less and reusing are also important solutions to the problem of rubbish. For example, people can bring their own water bottles instead of buying plastic ones. They can also reuse old clothes as cleaning rags or shopping bags. These small actions help reduce rubbish. 41. What did the Irish government do to reduce plastic bags? _______________________________________________ 42. Why did the people of Zanzibar stop making plastic bags? _______________________________________________ 43. How does Freecycle help protect the environment? _______________________________________________ 44. What is one example of using less or reusing things in the passage? _______________________________________________ 45. What can we do to reduce waste in our daily life? Give one example and explain. ________________________________________________ 【答案】 41. The government decided to make people pay for them. 42. Because they were worried the bags were killing fish and sea animals. 43. By recycling useful things. 44. People can bring their own water bottles. 45. We can sort rubbish. We can sort rubbish. When we sort rubbish, we can separate recyclable things from other waste. Then those recyclable things can be reused, so we produce less waste.（答案不唯一，言之有理且无语法错误即可） 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了世界各国为减少垃圾和处理垃圾问题所采取的不同措施，包括爱尔兰政府收费、桑给巴尔禁止生产塑料袋以及Freecycle组织的循环利用理念，并提出了个人减少浪费的建议。 41. 根据第二段“In Ireland, to reduce plastic bags, the government decided to make people pay for them.”，直接说明了爱尔兰政府减少塑料袋使用的措施，可知答案。 42. 根据第三段“They were worried the bags were killing fish and sea animals.”，明确了桑给巴尔人民停止生产塑料袋的原因，可知答案。 43. 根据第四段“It helps the environment by recycling useful things.”，直接说明了Freecycle保护环境的方式。 44. 根据第五段“For example, people can bring their own water bottles instead of buying plastic ones. They can also reuse old clothes as cleaning rags or shopping bags.”，给出了减少使用或重复利用物品的例子，任选其一即可。 45 根据第五段介绍了减少浪费的核心方法，可结合日常环保常识作答，表述合理且与文中例子不同即可。 第四部分 情景交际（满分10分） 补全对话（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据下面的对话情景，在空白处填入一个适当的句子，使对话的意思连贯、完整。 [2026齐齐哈尔中考改编] (Two volunteers Amy and Tom are talking about a documentary.)

B Linda always dreamed of having many great toys, but buying them all was almost impossible. One afternoon, exploring behind her apartment building, Linda saw an elderly woman making beautiful playthings with thrown‑away materials and natural objects. The woman built a tower from cardboard boxes and a tiny house with sticks, leaves and stones. “How do you make such wonderful toys without buying anything?” Linda asked, amazed. “The best toys aren’t bought in stores,” the woman smiled warmly. “They’re created with your own hands and imagination. Even waste can become something magical. You just need a little creativity.” Inspired, Linda began to create toys at home. She turned a shoe box into a toy theatre, old socks into dolls and plastic bottles into rocket ships. Soon her bedroom became a world of wonder. Later, Linda visited her teacher Mr. Thompson. She suggested having a toy-making workshop. At first, Mr. Thompson felt uncertain. After seeing her well‑made toys, he was surprised and decided to hold “Invention and Innovation Week”. Linda taught her classmates toy-making skills. Hand‑made toys excited all the students’ imagination. Some teachers added toy-making to their lessons, and other schools wanted to follow them. Linda felt very proud. She realised creativity can also be about finding possibilities in seemingly useless materials. 29. How did Linda feel when she saw the elderly woman making playthings? A.

Exploring nature leads to the discovery of beauty. C Peter and his family have celebrated Earth Day for as long as he can remember. Each spring, they plant more trees. This year, Peter invited some friends to join in the tree-planting on Earth Day. “Did you know that each day, one mature tree produces enough oxygen for four people to breathe?” Peter asked his friends excitedly. He continued, “But that’s not all. Trees also absorb (吸收) carbon dioxide.” “My parents have always encouraged me to care for the earth,” he explained to his friends. “They say that what is good for the earth is good for everyone. So we should respect our planet and keep it healthy.” When the trees arrived, they made sure they had plenty of water. They headed out to the field and started digging. “First, dig a big hole,” explained Peter, who knew what he was doing after years of practice. “Make sure the roots fit into the hole. Pour a little water into the hole and put your tree inside. Then, cover the roots and fill the hole with soil. Use your feet to pack it in well around the new tree.” It was clear that this young boy took pride in what he and his family did each spring. “We don’t have to plant hundreds of trees,” said Peter’s father. “Even if you can only plant one tree each year, it will add up over time. As the saying goes, every little bit helps.” Peter’s family set aside the whole weekend for planting trees. And so did Peter’s friends. Seeing the new trees standing neatly upright, Peter’s friends decided to join the activity again next year. Each tree they plant is a gift to the future. 33. What does Peter think of trees? A. Dangerous. B. Useful. C. Expensive. D. Useless. 34. When did Peter invite his friends to plant trees? A. On Earth Day. B. On Tree Planting Day. C. On Children’s Day. D. On New Year’s Day. 35. Why did Peter’s friends decide to join again next year? A. Because they could get much money. B. Because the tree planting activity was valuable. C. Because Peter’s father asked them to help. D. Because they learned to plant trees well. 36. What is the best title for the text? A. A Happy Weekend B. How to Plant Trees C. Planting for the Future D. Peter’s First Tree Planting Day D [2026苏州中考] It is easy to be worried about the future of our planet. Forests are disappearing. Water cycles are breaking down. Pollution is harming cities. But I am still a little bit hopeful about our planet’s future. Nature is making a comeback in many places. Even in the worst landscapes, nature is developing and regaining its own land. Wolves are moving across Europe and there are more tigers in India. I am not saying we should stop worrying about losing biodiversity (生物多样性), but the good news is that nature isn’t so fragile. And in many parts of the world, we are giving it more room to do its thing. For example, farmers are returning land to nature in some areas. The population is getting smaller. We used to think a continuing baby boom (生育高峰) was a danger to the planet. But today, couples are having half as many children as half a century ago. In fact, the fear in much of the world is that the population is becoming smaller. Our modern world depends less on materials. This century, the UK’s consumption (消耗) of materials has fallen from 16 tonnes a year per head to 11 tonnes. Why? We make much more with less by using modern ways of producing goods. And today’s wealthy people spend less money on materials and more on lifestyle experiences: eating out, taking exercise, attending concerts and so on. I agree that the worst could still happen. To avoid it, we have no choice but to act. And that means staying positive. 37. How does the writer explain people’s worries about the planet in paragraph 1? A. By telling stories. B. By describing facts. C. By offering advice. D. By comparing ideas. 38. What does the underlined word “fragile” probably mean in paragraph 2? A. Active. B. Light. C. Weak. D. Quiet. 39. According to the passage, today’s wealthy people may spend more money ▲ . A. doing sports B. buying clothes C. producing goods D. holding concerts 40. What is the passage mainly about? A. How we can protect our future planet. B. How we can control population growth. C. Why we should reduce the use of materials. D. Why we should stay hopeful about the earth. 第二节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 In many countries of the world, people are saying, “We must do something about our rubbish because it really makes us worried. We don’t want our world to become a big landfill site (垃圾填埋场).” In Ireland, to reduce plastic bags, the government decided to make people pay for them. Since 2002, Irish people have been paying for the bags they take home from the shops. Of course, they soon stopped buying new bags and started taking bags with them when shopping. Some countries have made even bigger changes. In 2006, the people of Zanzibar decided to stop making plastic bags. They were worried the bags were killing fish and sea animals. They also said nobody could bring plastic bags into the country. Soon there were no plastic bags in the country. One of the most exciting recycling ideas is Freecycle. It helps the environment by recycling useful things. It has grown around the world. People join a Freecycle group because they are looking for things or have things that they want to give to other people. Perhaps they have a chair they do not need any more, or they want a camera. They leave a message on the Internet to tell people what they want or what they are going to give. Nobody buys or sells anything—people give things to other people who want them. Recycling is important and sometimes it is exciting too, but it is only one part of the answer. Using less and reusing are also important solutions to the problem of rubbish. For example, people can bring their own water bottles instead of buying plastic ones. They can also reuse old clothes as cleaning rags or shopping bags. These small actions help reduce rubbish. 41.

Why did the people of Zanzibar stop making plastic bags? _______________________________________________ 43.

They leave a message on the Internet to tell people what they want or what they are going to give. Nobody buys or sells anything—people give things to other people who want them. Recycling is important and sometimes it is exciting too, but it is only one part of the answer. Using less and reusing are also important solutions to the problem of rubbish. For example, people can bring their own water bottles instead of buying plastic ones. They can also reuse old clothes as cleaning rags or shopping bags. These small actions help reduce rubbish. 41.
