Trees are lungs (肺) of the earth. They protect our hometown. However, each year people cut down or burn 143,000 square kilometers of the forests. Farmers do it for the land to grow crops. They also use the wood as fuel to cook and keep warm. Businessmen cut down trees for the wood and turn it into furniture (家具) and paper products.
However, while people get money from cutting down trees, we are also pushing ourselves into a dangerous situation, because trees are very important to the whole of nature.
First of all, trees are home to many animals. If people go on cutting down trees, they are destroying (破坏) the animals’ home, and making them homeless or killing them. Secondly, trees take in carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) and give out oxygen (氧气). That helps clean the air and makes the earth a comfortable place to live in. Thirdly, trees can help the soil (土壤) stay in place. They stop the soil from being washing away when it rains hard.
It’s reported that more than 50 countries in the world have set a special day to plant trees. It’s on March 12th in China. More and more people realize the importance of protecting the environment. Now are you ready to plant more trees and make our planet a greener home

You may have heard the saying “The Yangtze River is China’s mother river.” It is almost 6,400 kilometers long. As the world’s third-longest river, it covers one-fifth of China’s land area. The Yangtze River Economic Zone(长江经济带) covers eleven provinces and cities, making up about forty percent of China’s total population and GDP.
On December 26, China passed the Yangtze River Protection Law, which came into force on March 1, 2021. It is the first law to protect a waterway in China.
The mother river is in great need of protection because something is wrong with it. For example, because of overfishing and water pollution, the river’s Chinese paddlefish has died out there. There’s also desertified land and soil pollution near the river.
According to the law, fishing will not be allowed in all of the Yangtze’s natural waterways, including its major tributaries(支流) and lakes. Those who are caught fishing will be fined(罚款) 50,000 to 500,000 yuan.
Digging sand will be strictly limited(限制) in the river. Many companies are digging sand along the river. However, this has led to lower water levels on the river, which has caused the river’s water to decline.
Companies and factories along the river will need to focus on green development. If their activities do harm to the waterways, they will be moved away, the law says.
6．What does the first paragraph tell us about the Yangtze River
A．How old it is. B．Why it’s important.

C．When Chinese paddlefish died out. D．How the river will be protected.
9．What does the underlined word “decline” in Paragraph 5 mean
A．Disappear. B．Become worse. C．Be hard to test. D．Be easy to control.
10．According to the passage, which is true about protecting the river
A．People can’t fish in the river’s major tributaries.
B．Digging sand will not be allowed in the river anymore.
C．Companies along the river will be moved to other places.
D．Anyone who causes pollution will be fined at least 50,000 yuan.
If you live in Shanghai, you might have taken a "lesson" on garbage sorting(垃圾分类), Shanghai is the first city to carry out(实施)strict rules on garbage sorting. People in Shanghai know that garbage is sorted into four categories(类别)—recyclable, harmful, dry and wet waste. If people fail to sort their garbage properly, they can be fined up to 200 yuan, while companies will have to pay between 1,000 to 50,000 yuan for breaking the rules. Since the rules took effect, the amount of total daily waste in Shanghai has been reduced. The city also rebuilt 21,000 waste-sorting stations and more than 40,000 waste bins have been updated.
However, there have also been some problems. Some people complained that it is difficult to deal with wet garbage, as they are asked to remove wet garbage from its bag when dumping. According to the sorting rules, the wet garbage must go in the wet waste bin and the bag must go in the dry waste bin. Because the wet garbage will decompose(分解)properly ad become useful organic(有机的)waste.
By the end of 2020, garbage-sorting systems will be set up in 46 cities in our country. Everyone should take an active part in garbage sorting.
11．________ is the first city to carry out strict rules on garbage sorting.

You might not think much about where your garbage goes. But now you might want to know. On July 1, Shanghai introduced a new garbage-sorting policy (垃圾分类政策). People there need to put different kinds of garbage into different bins. Other cities in China will do the same soon.
Garbage sorting is a big problem because there is too much garbage these days. It is bad for our environment. In fact, we can make use of some garbage again. But first, we need to sort it.
For example, if you put an old battery (电池) into the "harmful waste" bin, people can use it to make new batteries. But if you don't, the battery will end up somewhere else. Then, it will pollute the environment.
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.
Japan: A truck playing music comes to people's doors to pick up their garbage. There are eight or more kinds of garbage. If you sort any of them wrong, you will get a notice 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.
Four kinds of garbage in Shanghai
Recyclable garbage includes paper, books, plastic items, and glass bottles. Harmful garbage includes lamps, batteries, and other things with harmful chemicals (化学品). Wet garbage usually comes from the kitchen, such as food and vegetables. Dry garbage is anything you cannot put into the other three bins, pens and towels, for example.
16．What can we learn from Paragraph 1
A．Many countries take Shanghai's garbage-sorting policy.
B．Many other cities in China have garbage-sorting policies.
C．Shanghai is the first city in China to make a garbage-sorting policy.

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 in 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(残渣)from burning masks can be recycled to make bricks(砖块)or fill the roads.
21．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.

The sky is grey. It’s another day of smog (雾霾). Is there a dome (穹顶) to protect us from dirty air outside
Yes, there is! An international school in Beijing has built a big dome outside of its four tennis courts. It cleans the polluted air and makes it healthy for students inside.
Smog has become a serious environmental and health problem in China. People are trying to stay away from it. However, the dome used by the school is expensive. It’s impossible for everyone to have such a place. But the good news is that the government has begun the fight against pollution.
In a government work report, Premier Li Keqiang said it was a war. The government will start by reducing PM10 and PM2.5 emissions (排放).
PM is short for particulate matter (颗粒物). PM10 and PM2.5 are an important cause of smog, which mainly come from human activities.
To fight against pollution, China will cut the use of coal and make better use of energy. Also, old cars give off more waste gas than new cars. So China plans to remove 6 million old cars from the roads, though much more money is needed.
A clear sky is not a faraway dream.

Hundreds of years ago, life was harder than it is today. People didn’t have modern machines. There was no modern medicine, either.
Life today has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution to all living things in the world.
Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day. Sometimes the polluted air is so thick that it is like a quilt (被状物) over a city. This kind of quilt is called smog.
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. Factories must now clean their water before it is thrown away, and they mustn’t let dirty smoke go into the air.
We need to do many other things. We can put waste things in the dustbin and do not throw them on the ground. We can go to work by bus with our friends in the same car. If there are fewer people driving, there will be less pollution.
Rules are not enough. Every person must help to fight pollution.

Andrew Holleman, a 12-year-old boy,loved playing in the open land near his home.The land was wet and forested, and made a home for birds, other animals and many different plants.
It made the perfect place for him to study and get to know the nature. He had seen some red-tail hawks, red foxes, wood turtles and other animals. He also found special native flowers.
Suddenly it was announced that the “empty” land would be improved by a lot of houses on it. The plants would be removed, the animals would run away and most would probably die. Then the wet soil would be covered with extra grounds.
When he heard about the news, he was not happy. He was very worried that the land ans water would be polluted.

Have you ever heard of e-waste, which can be produced every day How do you deal with your computers, Mp4 players and mobile phone when they’re broken or you want a new one
Most people just throw them away. With the development of the electric industry, e-waste pollution has become a serious problem. According to the United Nations, in 2014, people around the world produced 41. 8 million tons of e-waste and only recycled 6. 5 million tons. The US was the biggest waster, producing 7. 1 million tons. China came second, with 6 million tons.
It’s important to pay attention to e-waste. It can either be valuable or harmful(有害的), depending on how we deal with it. E-waste is a valuable urban mine (城市矿藏) .The value of the metals, like gold and silver in the waste around the world, is amazing. And the metals can be reused. But if people throw them away, the toxic chemicals (有毒化学物质) can get into the earth or air, affecting the environment and people’s health.
Apple Inc, for example, now recycles people’s used products in China when they are buying new ones. The company will test and repair the used ones and sell them at lower prices. To help reduce (减少) e-waste, we can also take computers and phones to see if companies offer recycling programs.
46．The following can become e-waste EXCEPT ________ .
A．computers B．mobile phones C．plastic bags D．MP4 players
47．Which country produced most e-waste in 2014 according to the United Nations

A lot of people drink bottled water in the world. A water bottle offers great convenience. It can be bought almost anywhere, carried around for a while, and then thrown away.
The influence of bottled water on the environment, however, is very big. About 2.7 million tons of plastic is turned into bottles which are only used once each year. This requires a lot of oil and water. It also produces greenhouse gases. Bottled water is often carried for long distances to reach people who buy it. This uses even more fossil fuels(化石燃料) and creates more pollution. Although the bottles can be recycled, only small parts of them are. The United States only recycles about 23 percent. The rest are part of a growing waste problem.
Convenience isn't the only reason for bottled water to become popular. Many people believe that it must be cleaner and healthier than tap water from public water systems. But this is not true. In developed countries such as the United States and some countries in Europe, laws about safe water are often stricter for tap water than for bottled water.
It may come as a surprise that nearly 40 percent of the water bottled in the United States starts from tap water. Before bottling, some companies filter(过滤)it, and they might add some things for taste. What's more, bottled water can cost from 240 to 10, 000 times more than tap water.
“Back to the tap" activities start around the world, In order to save money, use fewer resources, and create less waste, they support using tap water and reusable bottles rather than bottled water. San Francisco and other cities across the United States no longer allow their government departments to buy Many bottled water companies are trying to improve, too. They have reduced the use of plastic in their bottles.
51．What's the second paragraph mainly about
A．The difficulty of transporting the bottles B．The advantages of bottled water
C．The ways to produce bottled water D．The problem caused by bottled water

The world uses about a thousand million (百万) tons of water a day. Water is a human right and everyone should have their share. Yet more than 700 million people around the world have trouble getting clean, safe water.
Treating wastewater is a good way to provide fresh water for us. And it also helps the environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans. 80% of wastewater around the world is not treated at all, and it is running into oceans. But now we have got the technology to treat and reuse the wastewater.
While 75% of our planet is covered with water, only about 2% is fresh water—that comes from rivers, lakes, ice and snow. The rest, 98% of the water, is in seas and oceans. It is too salty to drink. Then desalination businesses come in. More than 19,000 factories have been built around the world, mostly in coastal countries. They process (加工) more than 92 million tons of water every day. But the technology they use requires a lot of energy.
Scientists are working to create a less costly technology. They want to produce 20 times more clean water and make sure everyone has enough. But for now, the world still faces each day with not having enough water for everyone.
56．How many people have trouble in getting clean water around the world
A．Under 10 million. B．Only 19 million.
C．About 92 million. D．Over 700 million.
57．Treating wastewater helps the environment by _____.
A．storing waste in ice and snow B．letting waste run into oceans
C．keeping waste out of rivers and oceans D．sending waste to coastal countries
58．What does the underlined word "desalination" in Paragraph 3 mean
A．远洋运输 B．潮汐发电 C．食盐销售 D．海水淡化
59．At present, the technology to process water_____.
A．needs much energy B．saves much money
C．satisfies everyone D．causes pollution
