三、阅读理解题(共4题,共40分)
(10分) When Shanghai introduced a new rubbish sorting policy (政策) in July last year, the people in this city took some time to get used to it. They joked that every time they took out their litter, the aunt standing by the bins would ask, "What kind of litter are you "
Starting on May 1, Beijing joined many Chinese cities by introducing a new rubbish sorting policy. People should sort their litter into four groups: kitchen, recyclable, harmful and other waste. These groups are represented (代表) by four different colors of rubbish bins-green, blue, red and gray. Those who fail to sort their litter correctly may face fines of up to 200 yuan.
The way Beijing sorts its rubbish sounds different from cities like Shanghai and Qingdao. These cities use four different groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry. Although their names are different, the groups are actually the same. Wet rubbish in Shanghai is, in fact, kitchen rubbish. And dry rubbish is the same as other waste.
Many people don't know how to sort their litter correctly, so Beijing government is offering online guidelines. If people don't know how to throw away rubbish, they can search for it on the WeChat account Guanchenglishi (管城理市) to find out. By searching a key word or taking a photo, people can find out which group their waste belongs to at once.

(10分) The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modem traffic and modern communication means. Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.

When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, Man moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.
Air pollution is still the most serious. It's bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal (煤) in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air.
Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. It is sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.

(10分) Everyone knows that global (全球的) warming is a serious problem these days. We have a lot of work to do in order to prevent it One of the best ways is to plant more trees. Trees can take in CO2 in the air and prevent global warming.
According to a new report, China and India are doing a great job of "greening" (绿化) the world. Chi Chen, a student at Boston University of the USA, has been working with NAsA to monitor (检测) Earth's green area. He and his team have used a special NASA camera to see how many new trees have grown. Chi and his team have found that China and India have much larger forest area than before. "China and India had one-third of the Earth's greening growth," Chi said.
The information or facts they collected from 2000 to 2017 showed that China had 25 percent of the global rise in green area during the period, according to CNN. That is about one-quarter of the size of the Amazon rainforest. The growth mainly came from forest protection and "greening" programs that China started to fight soil erosion (水土流失) and air pollution.
Since 1962, China has been planting trees in Saihanba in Hebei Province. Covering an area of 920 million square meters, it was once an area with few plants. However, foresters have turned the area into China's largest man-made forest.
Another is in Mu Us Desert. It is one of the four most important deserts (沙漠) in China. It was once famous for its sandstorms. But now, one-quarter of the desert has been turned into forest

(1) 细节理解题。根据第二段的最后两句“Chi and his team have found that China and India have much larger forest area than before. "China and India had one-third of the Earth's greening growth,"”可知,他和他的团队使用了一种特殊的 NASA 照相机来观察有多少新树已经生长。迟和他的团队发现,中国和印度的森林面积比以前大得多,中国和印度占了全球绿色增长的三分之一。
(2) 词义猜测题。根据第三段的“The information or facts they collected from 2000 to 2017 showed that China had 25 percent of the global rise in green area during the period, according to CNN. That is about one-quarter of the size of the Amazon rainforest.”可知,从 2000 年到 2017 年的事实表明,中国的绿色面积占全球增长的 25%。这相当于亚马逊雨林面积的四分之一,因此此处的 that 指代的是 25% 的全球绿化增长。

It is one of the four most important deserts (沙漠) in China. It was once famous for its sandstorms.”可知,穆斯沙漠是中国最重要的四个沙漠之一,它曾因沙尘暴而闻名,因此 C 正确;根据第三段的“The growth mainly came from forest protection and "greening" programs that China started to fight soil erosion (水土流失) and air pollution.”可知,中国的绿色面积占全球增长的 25%。这相当于亚马逊雨林面积的四分之一。增长主要来自森林保护和“绿化”项目,中国开始战斗水土流失(水土流失)和空气污染,因此 D 错误。
(5) 主旨大意题。根据第二段的“Chi and his team have found that China and India have much larger forest area than before. "China and India had one-third of the Earth's greening growth”以及结合全文可知,主要讲述了中国在绿化造林方面的伟大贡献。

27. 【答案】Protect Earth and Love Animals
Good morning, everyone! Today I am very happy to be here to give a report about protecting Earth and loving animals.
I think that we should share the same home with other living things. But in fact, there are many unsatisfying problems in our society. People often cut down trees and forests and hunt animals for money. So they make more space for farms and buildings instead of animals. As a result, many natural disasters happen every year.
So I advise that we should take some actions to protect our earth and animals. At first, our government should make laws to protect the environment and animals. And then, we students are supposed to educate more people to realize the importance of protecting earth and loving the animals.
If we do this, our earth will become comfortable for us to live in and the animals can live peacefully as they wish. But if we don't, terrible things will happen. So let's act together to make a more beautiful home for us human and animals as well.
