阅读理解专项训练

You don't have to be a scientist to solve big environmental problems. One Dutch designer is finding creative ways to make a change—and he's inviting bikers to join him.
Daan Roosgaarde, 38, is a designer from Holland. He uses creative ideas to improve city life. For his Smog(雾霾) Free Project, he designed a special tower that cleans air in Chinese parks. In Holland, he designed a shining bicycle path.
Now Daan and his team are working with engineers at Chinese bike sharing company to create a new product for public use. It's an air cleaning machine connected to a bicycle and is part of the Smog Free Project. In smoggy weather, the machine would breathe in the air in front of the bike and blow out a stream of clean air toward the biker's face.
It's no secret that air pollution is a big problem for China. In winter, it's common for thick clouds of haze(霾), caused largely by factory production, burning of coal and car emissions(排放物), to cover areas of China.
In 2016, only one fourth of Chinese cities met the country's air quality standards, according to a survey of 338 cities nationwide from the Ministry of Environmental Protection.
“Of course one tower and a few bikes won't solve China's air pollution problem,” Daan said. “But smog free bikes are an exciting idea that will hopefully inspire communities to create greener cities.”
( )1.According to the writer, ________.
A.air pollution is not a big problem in China
B.creative ideas may help improve city life

( )3.From the passage, we know that ________.
A. people who have creative ideas can get free bikes
B.only smog free bikes can go on the shining bicycle path
C.Daan and his family spent all their time improving China's air quality
D.China's haze in winter happens because of more than three causes
( )4.Daan is inviting bikers to join him in order to ________.
A. raise money for the tower
B.test his new machine
C.help solve the air pollution problem
D.make more Chinese friends
( )5.What is the best title for the passage

There are some easy things you can do to protect the earth:
·Plant flowers, grass or trees.
·Whenever you visit a park or beach, take away what you take there. Keep rubbish in a bag until you can put it in a dustbin(垃圾桶).
·Turn off the lights and TV set when you leave the room. This can save a lot of electricity.
·Turn off the tap when you brush your teeth. You can save some water by not letting it run. Also, use a glass cup instead of a paper cup because this saves paper.
·Give your old books and magazines to a library instead of throwing them away.
·Give your old clothes to poor children you know instead of throwing them away.
·Use both sides of paper.
·Stop pouring dirty water into the rivers or lakes nearby.
·Encourage all your friends to do the same things you do to help protect the earth.
You don't have to wait until Earth Day to do these things. Make every day Earth Day. If everyone makes a contribution(奉献) to protecting the environment, the earth will become much more beautiful.

We all waste food, you and me, every day, millions of tons of it. In China, enough food is wasted in restaurants every year to feed 200 million people. And the amount of food wasted by Chinese consumers is increasing fast. So our nation is being encouraged to stop wasting food.
So what should Chinese consumers do to prevent food waste
◆Keep a kitchen diary
All of us should keep a kitchen diary, and we can know how much food we waste at home. The first thing for us to do is to stop throwing away food that we can still eat. We should eat everything we buy and if we cannot, we should buy less.
◆Buy only what we need
We should ask for smaller portions in stores. We should also check how much food we have before buying more. We shouldn’t bring much food we don’t need home even if large posters ask us to do so.
◆Develop the habit of packing food
Chinese consumers are generous and friendly. In restaurants, often too much food is ordered and served. So when ordering out, we are supposed to exclude(排除) the food in the order if we don’t plan to eat it. And order smaller servings in restaurants and take home what we cannot finish.
Don’t put it off!Let’s stop food waste today!
( )1.Why is our nation being encouraged to stop wasting food

How much of the rubbish do you think can be recycled You can contact the local environmental group for ideas on how you can recycle some of your rubbish. Find out where the nearest recycling centre is! Here are some examples to get you started!
NewspapersMany charities(慈善机构) and organisations collect old newspapers to be recycled. You can try to contact those in your area.
Glass bottlesThere should also be bottle banks for bottles and pots at your nearest recycling centre.There are different colours of glass bottles. Make sure you put them in the right recycling bin!
Aluminum cans(易拉罐)Aluminum cans can be washed and crushed and taken to the recycling centre.To find out if a can is made of aluminum, use a magnet(磁铁)! Aluminum cans aren’t magnetic, but others are!
Plastics(塑料制品)Plastic bottles are usually all recyclable. You should also be able to find a recycling bin for plastics at your recycling centre. You can probably crush some of them, and then they will take less space.
( )1.Many charities and organisations collect to be recycled according to the
passage.
A.old newspapers B.used water C.plastic bags D.old clothes

We have been used to wearing masks(口罩) in public since February. About 300 million masks are used and then thrown away every day in China. Where do these masks go You might think they just go into a rubbish bin. But that’s just the first stop on the masks’ journey.
After the masks are thrown into the bins, rubbish trucks empty the bins and take the rubbish to landfills(垃圾场). Next, the masks will be taken to rubbish incinerators(焚化炉) and burned. Burning masks might not seem to be very good for the environment. Won’t it cause pollution
The answer is “no”, according to China Daily. The main material of most masks is polypropylene(聚丙烯). It’s non-toxic(无毒的). After burning, it changes into water and CO2.
In fact, burning the masks can bring some benefits(益处). The process of burning the rubbish can produce electricity. Burning one ton of rubbish can produce more than 400 kilowatt hours(度) of electricity. Some people make a prediction that there will be 162,000 tons of used masks in China this year. Burning all of them can produce more than 64 million kilowatt hours of electricity. This is enough to make an electric car drive about 370 million km, which is 9,250 times as long as the earth’s equator.
At last, the slag(炉渣) from burning masks can be recycled to make bricks(砖块) or fill the roads.
( )1.How many masks are used and then thrown away every day in China
A.More than 64 million. B.About 300 million.
C.About 370 million. D.About 9,250 million.
( )2.The first stop on the masks’ journey is .
A.electricity factories B.landfills
C.rubbish trucks D.rubbish bins
( )3.The main material of most masks is .
A.plastic B.polypropylene
C.water D.CO2
( )4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A.Burning masks won’t cause pollution.
B.People are not used to wearing masks in public.
C.There are 162,000 tons of used masks every month in China.
D.The process of burning the masks can produce electricity and bricks.
( )5.What is the best title of the passage
A.How do We Burn Used Masks
B.How do People Produce Electricity
C.Where do the Used Masks Go
D.Why do We Throw away Used Masks

In most parts of the world, many students help their schools make less pollution. They join “environment clubs”. In an environment club, people work together to make our environment clean. Here are the things students often do.

No-car day. On a no-car day, nobody comes to school in a car---not the students and not the teachers! Cars give pollution to the air, so remember:
Walk, jump, bike or run. Use your legs! It’s lots of fun!
No-garbage lunches. How much do you throw away after lunch Environment clubs ask students to bring their lunches in bags that can be used again. Every week they will choose the classes that make the least garbage and report them to the whole school!
