The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are home for many different kinds of birds and animals. The world’s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve (自然保护区) is in them. More than 700 milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world. But every winter you can see some in the Red-crowned Cranes Nature in the wetlands.
The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine, too. They are really good places for wildlife (野生生物). Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals and birds is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also prevent flood (防洪) . But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife.
Luckily, more and more people are beginning to realize the importance of wetlands and wildlife. Every year, on February 2nd, many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands. They are homes for wildlife as well as ourselves.

Dear Mr. Lambert,
I’m Sabrina Taylor and I’m studying at a middle school. I just learnt that forests are disappearing(消失) and they’re disappearing around the world every year. This happens because people are making paper and energy, building more and more houses and factories. We must keep these things from happening. Protecting the Earth is very important for our future.
Now I hope you can help stop forests from disappearing. You may stop burning wood to make energy in your factory. This will help forests so much.
There are also many other things to do to help forests. If you would like to know more, please visit www.rainforestsweb.org. By doing some small things, we can make the Earth more beautiful. If you want to talk about it with me, you can email me at shazadinol@.uk.
Thank you for taking your time in reading this email.
Best wishes,
Sabrina Taylor

[Alfred, a student in Grade 9, was waiting for his classmate Billy.]
Alfred: I’ve been waiting an hour for you. Were you watching movies on your phone again
Billy: Sorry, I went to a talk about recycling (回收利用). It was so interesting. I forgot the time!
Alfred: Really
Billy: Yeah, I learnt about the rubbish in the sea. Did you know that there are islands just made from plastic waste It kills so many animals.
Alfred: That’s crazy. How terrible!
Billy: If plastic is recycled, we can use it again, instead of wasting it and harming the Earth.
Alfred: Talking of wasting things, I wasted an hour waiting for you. Now the restaurant is closed!
Billy: Sorry!
[They met the next day.]
Alfred: What happened to your clothes They’re dirty.
Billy: I’ve been planting trees.
Alfred: Why
Billy: Because trees give us clean air to breathe, and thousands are cut down every day!
Alfred: First recycling, now trees, why are you suddenly so worried about protecting the Earth
Billy: You know I love watching movies...
Alfred: Yeah... so, did you watch a movie about it
Billy: No, because if we don’t protect the Earth, maybe we won’t be able to live here anymore, and this is the only planet with the Internet to watch movies!

①All plants and animals are connected and depend upon one another. These connections create a web of different types of life that are able to protect themselves from damage. However, population growth and climate change are leading to less biodiversity (生态多样) and putting humans in danger. So what can we do to help protect biodiversity and our environment
②Avoid buying from companies that do damage the environment. Remember, companies will sell what people want to buy, so tell companies that you want products that do not hurt our planet.
③The less garbage you throw away, the less likely it is that natural habitats (栖息地) will be used for landfills (垃圾填埋). Try to follow the “Three Rs” to produce as less waste as possible.
④Reduce: Don’t buy products you don’t need. When you do buy things, try to make choices that lead to a smaller amount of garbage. For example, buy things with a little bit of packaging (包装) or none at all.
⑤Reuse: Throw fewer goods away by using things more than once. One easy example is taking a reusable bag to the grocery store.
⑥Recycle: When you do have to throw something away, recycle it so it can be made into something useful again.
⑦Fossil (化石) fuels are bad for the environment. The climate change they cause also leads to habitat loss for at-risk animals. So reducing carbon emissions (碳排放) is one effective way to protect biodiversity. You could start by using less energy. Walk or ride your bike instead of driving, and think about green energy like solar power.
14．According to the passage, which of these are causing problems for the environment
A．Creating many kinds of products. B．The forming of a web of living things.
C．Turning land into natural habitats. D．Population growth and climate change.

A．Recycling what you don’t need. B．Buying products which you need.
C．Buying over-packaged products. D．Using reusable bags more than once.
16．What is the correct order of the following
A．B．
C．D．
17．What is the purpose of this passage

D．To show us things we can do to protect the environment.
You can see a sea turtle named Herman, an octopus (章鱼) called Octavia, and a seal named Lidia at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo in Washington. D．C．Rather than real animals. they are actually artworks made out of plastic trash from the ocean.
These artworks are part of a traveling exhibit called “Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea” The Washed Ashore project, led by the artist called Pozzi, works to raise attention about plastic pollution in Earth’s oceans.
More than 315 billion pounds of plastic litter the world’s oceans today. Most of the plastic is garbage from towns and cities, as well as trash that people leave on beaches. Rainwater, winds, and high tides bring the trash into the ocean or into rivers that lead to the ocean. Once it is under the waves, the plastic begins to break up into smaller and smaller pieces.
Thousands of sea animals die each year from eating plastic bags and other things. Each year, millions more pounds of plastic end up in the ocean. A recent study found that if that continues, by 2050 the total weight of plastic will be more than that of all the fish in the ocean.
The Washed Ashore project is working to stop that from happening. Since 2010, Washed Ashore volunteers have collected 38, 000 pounds of plastic trash from more than 300 miles of beaches. They helped Pozzi create more than 60 artworks of sea creatures harmed by plastic pollution.
“These artworks are a powerful reminder of our personal role and global responsibility in preserving biodiversity (生物多样性) on land and in the sea,” says Dennis Kelly, director of the National Zoo.
18．What is the purpose of the artworks shown at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo
A．To let people know about animals in the ocean.
B．To introduce one way of recycling plastic trash.
C．To warn people of plastic pollution in the ocean.
D．To show Pozzi’s great gift for creating artworks.
19．According to the passage, what is the source of plastic pollution in the ocean

Americans like to visit the national parks. In 1996, over 250,000,000 people visited areas which are managed by the National Park Service. Experts say that by 2020, 500,000,000 people per year will visit the parks. As a result, people are trying to think of ways to protect the parks from the crowds.
The crowding of the parks has caused several problems. One is that there is not enough space for all of the people who want to use the parks. To deal with this problem, you may have to book your tickets a few months ahead of time. The Park Service may also raise entrance fees(费). Another problem caused by increased park use is pollution. Some garbage and waste can be cleaned up, and the cleanup can be paid for by increased entrance fees. To cut down on noise pollution and air pollution, the number of car allowed in parks may be limited. If this happens, people may use buses to travel around the parks. Officials may limit the use of jet-skis, snow - mobiles, motor-boats, and sightseeing helicopters and planes.
The parks may also be in danger because of development that is going on around them. For example, around Yellow Stone Park, many hotels, golf courses, resorts, and other tourist attractions have been built. Some of these developments have effect on areas that are used by animals. People will have to learn to agree about ways to protect the parks. If they do not, there will soon be no reason to visit these national treasures.
23．According to experts, by 2020 the number of visitors ________.
A．may be doubled B．will reach 250 million
C．may rise to 50% D．will go up by a second
24．Which of the following is true according to the text
A．Visitors will pay less than before B．The parks are not big enough to hold all visitors.
C．Visitors may not necessary buy tickets ahead of time. D．Only buses are allowed to enter the parks.
25．Entrance fees may be increased ________.
A．because the National Park Service are short of money
B．only for the development of the national parks
C．to protect the animals
D．mainly to limit the number of visitors
26．What is the most possible meaning of the underlined word “limited” in Paragraph 2
A．Enlarged. B．Admitted. C．Controlled. D．Concerned.
27．What can be inferred from the passage
A．High fees may probably keep some people out of parks.
B．Helicopters and planes will not be used in parks any longer.
C．The bus will become the only tool in parks in order to cut down pollution.
D．National Park Service will always welcome as many visitors as possible.
A new study warns that about 30% of the world’s people may not have enough water by the year 2025.
A personal American organization called Population Action International（PAI）did the new study. It says more than three hundred and thirty-five million people lack（缺少）enough water now. These people live in twenty-eight countries. Most of the countries are in Africa or the Middle East.
PAI researcher Robert Engelman says by the year 2025, about three thousand million people may face water problems. At least 18 more countries are expected to lack enough water. The need for water keeps increasing. Yet the amount（数量）of water on the earth stays the same.
The report says lack of water in the future may cause several problems. It may increase health problems. Lack of water often means drinking water is not safe. Mr. Engelman says there are problems all over the world because of diseases, such as cholera, which are carried in water. Lack of water may also lead to more international conflict（冲突）. Countries may have to fight for water in the future. Some countries now get sixty percent of their water from other countries. This is true of Egypt, the Netherlands, Cambodia, Syria, Sudan and Iraq. And the report says lack of water would influence the ability to improve their economies（经济）. This is because new industries often need a great amount of water when they are beginning.
The Population Action International study gives several ways to the water problem. One way, it says, is to find ways to use water for more than one purpose. Another way is to teach people to be careful not to waste water.A third way is to use less water for agriculture.
The report also says a long-term way to the water problem is to control population growth. It says countries cannot provide clean water unless they slow population growth by limiting the number of children people have.
28．The PAI study shows that ________ countries will lack water by the year 2025.
A．at least 46 B．at most 46 C．18 D．28
29．Which of the following problems is NOT true according to the passage
A．It may bring about a lot of health problems.
B．It may cause more international conflict.
C．It may lead to the improvement of new industries.
D．It may influence the development of economies.
30．Which of the following shows the structure（结构）of the passage
A．①②→③④→⑤⑥
B．①②③→④→⑤→⑥
C．①②③④→⑤→⑥
D．①②③→④→⑤⑥
31．After reading the passage, many people will probably ________.
A．begin to fight for water
B．try to find ways to save water
C．increase the amount of water
D．move house to the Middle East
Nowadays, garbage sorting (垃圾分类) is a big problem because there is too much garbage these days. It is bad for our soil, air and water. Actually, we can use some garbage again. And first, we need to sort our garbage. Here are some garbage sorting and recycling around the world.
●Germany: There are big machines in supermarkets. You can put bottles in the machines and get money back. You can get one to two yuan per bottle. People like this because they can get money and protect the environment at the same time.
●Japan: A trash truck (垃圾车) comes to people’s doors to pick up their garbage. It plays music when it’s coming. There are eight or more kinds of garbage. If you sort any of them wrong, you will get a notice (公告) on your door.
●Indonesia: People can take buses for free if they give plastic bottles to bus stations. An hour-long bus ride costs three large bottles or five medium bottles or ten plastic cups. But the bottles must be clean.
32．The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.
A．people’s door B．their garbage C．a trash truck D．a notice
33．If you give ________ to bus stations in Indonesia, you can travel for one hour by bus for free.
A．10 clean plastic cups B．2 large clean bottles C．5 small paper cups D．3 medium clean bottles
34．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A．Germans put bottles in the machines only because of money.

A new rubbish system (系统) has been put into use in Fangchengyuan Community in Beijing. Local people not only sort(分类) their rubbish, but also put QR codes (二维码) on it. “When the rubbish is collected and the codes are seen, I will get reward point to exchange for small gifts and even some money,” one of the local people told reporters. “It’s really creative and encouraging.”
This smart system has been carried out in 350 communities in Beijing. The capital of China has joined a list of cities in the country that take action to support rubbish sorting. For example, Shenzhen and Shanghai have made laws to punish people and organizations for not sorting rubbish correctly.
China produces quite a lot of rubbish every year. Much of the rubbish is buried (填埋) in soil or burned without being sorted. Landfills take up a lot of land and have a risk of polluting the soil and water nearby. And burning rubbish can produce harmful gases. Through rubbish sorting, we can reduce the use of landfills and air pollution.
What’s more, rubbish sorting saves resources, which could bring economic benefits, for example, a ton of waste paper can be reused to make about 850 kg of paper, saving 17 trees and 50 percent of water. Because of their benefits, some countries have developed successful sorting systems.
Japan has a strict and detailed system. When people throw away a water bottle, the cap, the wrapper (包装纸) and the bottle itself have to go into three different bins. Every year, families receive special rubbish sorting timetables and directions from their local governments. They are advised to follow the timetables and directions when they throw away rubbish.
In Australia, every family is provided with three rubbish bins — the red lid (盖子) bin for “general waste” like food and plastic bags, the yellow lid bin for “recycling” like steel and glass, and the green lid bin for “green waste” such as grass and leaves. On the streets, the bins are printed with pictures of the things that are allowed inside. It makes recycling quite easy.
37．What will local people probably get if they put daily rubbish into the new system in Fangchengyuan Community
A．A computer. B．A car. C．A lot of money. D．Some small gifts.
38．Which of the following is NOT the consequence (后果) of burying rubbish
A．Polluting soil. B．Polluting water.
C．Taking up a lot of land. D．Saving resources.
39．Which paragraph discusses the economic benefits of rubbish sorting
A．Paragraph 3. B．Paragraph 4. C．Paragraph 5. D．Paragraph 6.
40．In Australia, which bin should you put food left after dinner in
A．The red lid bin. B．The yellow lid bin. C．The green lid bin. D．The black lid bin.
41．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text
A．In Australia, the green lid bin is used for all kinds of recyclable (可回收的) wastes.
B．In Japan, all kinds of things for recycling are printed on rubbish bins.
C．Japanese people cannot throw a bottle into a bin if they don’t move away the wrapper first.
D．Australian people have to obey local timetables and directions to throw away rubbish.
People around the world know LEGOs very well. These years, the LEGO Group are trying using recycled plastic(可回收塑料) to make LEGO bricks(积木). They aren’t ready yet, but the company says it’s making big progress.
In fact, people who often play LEGOs may know that the first LEGO brick came out in 1949. Since(自从) about 1960, LEGO bricks have been made from a kind of plastic called ABS. Sadly, it can’t really be recycled, and it takes a long time to break down.
But since 2015, LEGO has been trying to make their products(产品) more environment-friendly. Three years ago, the company began making some LEGO parts with a kind of plastic made from sugar cane(甘蔗). Recently, LEGO decided to use paper bags only. And the company has also started to make bricks by using recycled plastic.
Over the past three years, the company has tested over 250 different ways of creating LEGO bricks from recycled plastic. Now, the company has found a way to make a good 2×4 brick from PET plastic, which is softer(柔软) than ABS plastic and can be found in things like bottles and clothing. The only problem is that the company should think about how to make PET plastic stronger and give it better clutch power(离合力) like ABS.
The company truly believes that they can find more sustainable materials(可持续材料) to make all of their main products by the year 2030. Making bricks from used PET instead of(而不是) new ABS can not only cut plastic waste, but also cut pollution by about 70%.
42．The first paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A．how popular LEGO bricks are in the world B．a new kind of LEGO bricks is on the way C．how to make LEGO bricks by ourselves
43．When did LEGO begin using ABS plastic
A．In 1949. B．Around 1960. C．In 2015.
44．How is ABS plastic different from PET plastic
A．PET plastic is much softer and has better clutch power.
B．ABS plastic is hard to break down although it can be easily found in bottles.
C．PET plastic is a sustainable material but it still needs to be improved.
45．What can we infer from the passage
A．We can buy LEGOs made from PET plastic as Christmas gifts this year.
B．LEGO is the first company to make bricks out of recycled plastic.
C．LEGO will keep looking for materials which are similar to PET plastic.
46．What is the best title of the passage
A．Save the environment in a LEGO way!
B．Join us to be an amazing LEGO talent!
C．Meet the freshest and coolest LEGO bricks!
Garbage or trash is a major kind of environmental pollution. Each person produces about 2kg of trash a day. We are making waste products faster than nature can break them down. And we are using up resources faster than they can be replaced.
This adds up to trouble for the environment. Where does all that garbage go What can be done to help dispose of(处理) garbage How can we make less garbage
Garbage isn’t just the smelly rotting fruits, vegetables or meat that we throw away in our homes. Those are only a small part of all the stuff we throw away. We create other kinds of waste in construction, mining and in our factories.
Did you ever wonder what happens to your garbage Most is burned or buried in landfills(垃圾填埋场). Less than a quarter of our waste is recycled.
With a population of 1.3 billion, garbage is a big problem for China. Chinese cities create around 148 million tons of garbage every year. The amount is growing at around 10 percent each year.
Once we used about 3 billion plastic shopping bags every day in China. The result was a great waste of resources and serious pollution. So we did something about that. Now we use more cloth bags and shopping baskets when we shop.
In the coming years China will build waste-to-energy plants in cities to clean up the garbage. But there’s a lot more that needs to be done. And you can play a part.
47．What can be learned from the first paragraph
A．Garbage is the most serious environmental pollution.
B．Each person produces 20kg of garbage a week.
C．Nature can break the garbage down as soon as we produce it.
D．We may use up our resources before they can be replaced.
48．Which of the following places probably produce the most garbage
A．homes B．schools C．factories D．parks
49．The underlined word “plant” in the last paragraph means ________.
A．沙堆 B．设备 C．工厂 D．大箱子
50．What is the purpose of writing this article
A．How to deal with garbage in daily life.
B．Let’s make the Earth a cleaner place.
C．New resources should be found.
D．We must reduce producing garbage at home.
51．Who do you think the writer most likely is
A．An English scientist. B．A Chinese journalist.
C．A UN governor. D．An American student.
