备考2023年中考英语时事热点话题题型专练
一、阅读理解
A
President Xi Jinping said “Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets(绿水青山就是金山银山)”.
With the efforts of China’s government and its people, the rate of forest coverage (森林覆盖率) in China has reached 22.96%, compared to 5.05% forty years ago, according to a recent report from the State Forestry and Grassland Administration(SFGA).
Over the past forty years, China planted billions of trees as part of its fight against expanding(延伸的) deserts, mostly in its north. Each year, people sow seedlings(播种) over an area nearly the size of Ireland, according to Nature.
In 1978, China began a nationwide tree-planting program known as the Three North Shelter belt Forest Program, also known as “the Great Green Wall”. It has helped to plant more than 66 billion trees across 13 provinces in the country’s north to act as windbreaks(防风林), according to China Daily.
Since 2018, SFGA has made more efforts to build a greener country. Its purpose is to grow at least 6.7 million hectares(公项) of forest every year in the next 15 years. Besides planting more trees, China has tried to bring back grasslands. It has also used strict forest protection methods and banned(禁止) all commercial logging(商业伐木) since last August.
The high-speed growth of forest cannot happen without public participation(参与). For example, Ant Forest, an Alipay mobile payment app, plants real trees for users who get “green energy” by taking part in low-carbon(低碳) activities. Since 2016, it has helped to plant about 122 million trees in China’s driest areas. China was praised as “one of the most successful countries worldwide in greening the desert” by United Nations Environment Program Executive Director Erik Solheim.

China gets greener
President Xi Jinping said "clear waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets(绿水青山就是金山银山)". With the efforts of China's government and its people, the rate of forest coverage(森林覆盖率)in China has reached 22. 96%, compared to 5. 05% forty years ago, according to a recent report from the State Forestry and Grassland Administration (SFGA).
Over the past forty years, China planted billions of trees as part of its fight against expanding(延伸的)deserts, mostly in its north. Each year, people sow seedlings(播种)over an area nearly the size of Ireland, according to Nature.
In 1978, China began a nationwide tree-planting programme known as the Three North Shelterbelt Forest Programme, also known as "the Great Green Wall". It has helped to plant more than 66 billion trees across 13 provinces in the country's north to act as windbreaks(防风林), according to China Daily.
Since 2018, SFGA has made more efforts to build a greener country. Its purpose is to grow at least 6. 7 million hectares(公顷)of forest every year in the next 15 years. Besides planting more trees, China has tried to bring back grasslands. It has also used strict forest protection methods and banned(禁止)all commercial logging(商业伐木)since last August.
The high-speed growth of forests cannot happen without public participation(参与). For example, Ant Forest, an Alipay mobile payment app, plants real tees for users who get "green energy" by taking part in low-carbon(低碳)activities. Since 2016, it has helped to plant about 122 million trees in China's driest areas.
China was praised as "one of the most successful countries worldwide in greening the desert" by United Nations Environment Programme Executive Director Erik Solheim.

Its purpose is to grow at least 6. 7 million hectares(公顷)of forest every year in the next 15 years.”可知C不对。

二、任务型阅读
Fourteen years ago, President Xi Jinping said “clear waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets (绿水青山就是金山银山)”. Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), the central government has placed great importance on environmental protection. Great achievements have been made in this area in recent decades through strong measures (措施).
Fighting desertification (荒漠化防治)
Desertification has been a major challenge for China. In the early 21st century, many parts of the country, including Xinjiang, Gansu and Inner Mongolia, were affected by sandstorms (沙尘暴).They usually happen in deserts. They can do great harm to plants, animals and buildings.
In recent years, the government has tried to prevent deserts from growing in size and bringing more sandstorms. Planting trees has played an important role. China’s total forest coverage (覆盖率) rose from 12 percent in the 1980s to 23.04 now. The total desert coverage has been reduced by an average of 2,424 square kilometers every year. That’s as big as 340,000 soccer fields.
One example of this is the Mu Us Desert (毛乌素沙漠), one of China’s four major deserts. One fourth of the desert has been turned into forest.
Air pollution control
China has improved its air quality in recent years as efforts to control air pollution take effect.
Back in January 2013, thick smog (雾霾) covered a total area of 2.7 million square kilometers in cities around China.
To solve this problem, the government took a series of measures to control air pollution, particularly in three major regions: the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei cluster, the Yangtze River Delta and the Fenhe-Weihe River Plain.
11．Who issued (提出) the call “clear waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets”
_______________________________________________________________________________________

The Mu Us Desert./ The Mu Us Desert has been turned a quarter of it into forest.
14．23.04%. The percentage of China’s total forest coverage is 23.04%.
15．Two./ 2./ Two measures mentioned.
【分析】本文主要讲述了中央政府高度重视环境保护工作。近年来，通过许多有力措施，在环境保护方面取得了巨大成就。
11．根据“Fourteen years ago, President Xi Jinping said “clear waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets”可知，习近平总书记提出了“绿水青山就是金山银山”。故填President Xi Jinping./ Xi Jinping./ President Xi Jinping issued it.
12．根据“Planting trees has played an important role.”可知，植树在荒漠化防治中发挥了重要作用。故填Planting trees./ Planting trees has played an important role/part.

四、读写综合
请阅读下面这篇文章，根据所提供的信息，回答下列问题，要求所写答案语法正确、语义完整。
I asked three of my friends how they had changed since they came to our middle school. And here are their answers.
Robin I didn’t do well in my study before, but since I began to study in this school, things have changed. The teachers here are all energetic, active and helpful. They always encourage me by saying “I’m sure you can make it” or “You are one of the cleverest students I have ever met”. These words really mean a lot to me. Now I’m one of the top students in my class, and I like studying as well.
Jacky I used to be a fat boy who could hardly run 500 meters. When I entered the middle school, my father worried that I would be laughed at by my new classmates. So he decided to do morning exercises with me every day. It really worked. Now I’m used to running and exercising in the morning, and I am slim and strong. Besides, my P. E. teacher thinks I can be a good runner in the future!
Jason I used to like to be alone and didn’t feel like talking to anyone. But after I met Robin and Jacky, I found that they were really good people. Gradually we became closer and finally became good friends. Thanks to them, I’m talkative（健谈）and outgoing now, and I have made many other friends. I talk and play with my friends and I feel happy every day.
