Save the world’s trees
“When it comes to the Earth, there is no time to waste,” says the Earth Day Network. And that is right. Protecting our environment is very important, and World Earth Day was created in 1970 to ask more people to protect our environment. On April 22, people around the world celebrate Earth Day.
Every year there is a special topic, and this year it is “Trees for the Earth”, so Earth Day this year will be all
about planting trees. They are planning to plant 7.8 billion trees within the next five years.
That’s a big goal, and you might wonder why trees are so important. Because they can take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and protect the air quality (质量). CO2 is a chemical in our atmosphere, but humans make too much of it. Each person makes about 2.3 tons a year, which is bad for the environment.
Well guess what! Planting new trees is important because people cut down a huge number of trees. Last year, there were 3 trillion trees in the world, about 139 billion in China. But according to China Daily, the world’s total number has been almost cut in half since human civilization (文明) began. That’s because 15 billion trees are cut down every year.
So we need to plant more to make up for（弥补）the ones we lost. One tree can take in 21.8 kilograms of CO2 per year. And it’s still one of the cheapest and best ways to get rid of CO2.
But don’t forget that we can also help the environment by cutting down on how much energy(能源) or water we use every day. Every little thing helps.
根据短文内容，回答问题（1—4），英译汉（5）。

III.阅读理解
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 the 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-tailed 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 (土壤) would be covered with extra grounds.
When he heard about the news, he was not happy. He was very worried that the land and water would be polluted.
Andrew wrote down clearly all the research he had done about the area, and how the houses
would affect (影响) the local environment. He sent letters to members of local government and
television reporters. He also called on his neighbors to oppose the building of the houses.
Although he was only 12 years old, he had the courage and wisdom of a person much older.
Andrew’s teachers described him as gentle, shy and active. His classmates also admired how much he knew about local animals and plants, and the environment. Each day after school, Andrew went door-to-door, to ask the people to sign (签名), who did not want the houses to be built. In only one month, he got the signatures of 250 people.
In the end, the land remained a safe place for birds, animals and plants that belonged there.
Andrew won many prizes for his brave and great work to stop the houses being built, and thus help save the environment.

All living things need energy to live and grow. This energy comes first from the sun. Plants use water and sunlight to make their own food. Animals can not make their own food, and they eat plants. Other animals then eat the plant eaters.
A food chain shows what eats what. It might show that zebras eat grass and then lions eat zebras.
Lions also eat other animals. Zebras eat other kinds of plants. So it takes more than one food chain to show how lions and zebras get their energy.
A food web shows how food chains work together. From it we can see how energy moves from plants to animals.
Plants and animals that live in hot, dry deserts depend on water as well as food. Creosote bushes have small leaves that hold water. Their seeds provide food and water for kangaroo rats. Kangaroo rats don’t need to drink water. They get all the water they need from the plants they eat. Kangaroo rats keep cool by coming out only at night to look for food. Ringtail cats also come out only at night. Ringtail cats hunt and eat kangaroo rats. Coyotes eat both the kangaroo rats and the ringtail cats.
Nothing is wasted in a food wed. Vultures eat dead animals. Vultures are scavengers. Scavengers do not hunt and kill other animals to get food. They eat animals that are already dead. When a ringtail cat or a coyote dies, it makes a meal for the vultures. Scavengers do an important job in keeping the environment clean.
1. Where does the energy that living things need first come from
A. Animals. B. Plants. C. The sun. D. Plant eaters.
2. Why do ringtail cats come out only at night
A. Because they are afraid of coyotes.
B. Because they are shy animals.
C. Because it is very hot in the daytime.
D. Because they can eat kangaroo rats.
3. What kind of animal can be placed in the empty box of the picture
A. Kangaroo. B. Vulture. C. Cat. D. Zebra.
4. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage
A. Lions eat different kinds of animals.
B. Plants are on the top of the food chain.
C. Scavengers can keep the environment clean.
D. Some animals get water from the plants they eat.
5. What’s the best title of the passage
A. Web of life B. Things that we eat
C. Food in the desert D. The place where food is from

答案
Our Environment in Ten Years: for Better or Worse
Many students are optimistic about our environment in ten years. In fact, they think that the world will be a better place than it is now. More and more people are becoming volunteers to protect the environment. The government will take more measures to improve the environment.
However, other students are worried about the future. A large number of trees will be cut down. Private cars will be more and more. They say the world will become more crowded．
But in my opinion, I think we should plant more trees and pick up litter around us. We should work together to protect our homes.
