A
Would you try food made of rubbish When world leaders got together at the UN for a meeting on climate (气候) change, they had a special lunch. The food was made from something that most of us would throw away. There was a salad made of vegetable scraps (剩菜叶). The leaders also had hamburgers made of fruit left over from juicing.
The UN said this reminded (提醒) people about food waste and the bad influence (影响) it has on climate change. “Food waste is not often noticed in climate change, and that is shameful when so many people are in hunger.” said a government secretary.
Most people don’t even realize how much food they throw away every day. Sometimes they cook too much or they don’t use it in time. Every year more than one-third of all food produced worldwide goes to waste, according to the UN. Stop the waste, and the whole world could save $300 billion from wasted food. More importantly, it could also do less harm to the environment.
Think about a bag of cheese (奶酪). Before we buy it at the store, people have to raise the cows, deal with the milk, and drive to the shop to sell the cheese. If you throw the cheese away, you have wasted energy, fuel (燃料) and water, which give out greenhouse gases that add to global warming.
The UN said if we stop throwing good food away, we could cut down up to 17 million tons of CO . The good of that would be the same as taking one in every four cars off the road.
1. Why did the writer think the lunch was special
A. Because the vegetables were made into juice. B. Because the leaders had a salad and hamburgers.
C. Because food was cooked from something thrown away.
D. Because the lunch was prepared with different fresh fruits.
2. What does food waste influence at last
A. Fuel. B. Cars. C. Cows. D. Climate.
3. Which of the following is NOT true
A. Food waste has a bad influence on climate change. B. The world leaders often eat food made of rubbish.
C. Stopping the waste can do less harm to the environment. D. Throwing good food away can cause global warming.
4. What can you infer(推断) from the text
A. Even small actions can help make our world better. B. We should buy a bag of cheese from the supermarket.
C. Most people have already paid attention to food waste.
D. Saving food is more important than driving cars less often.
5. Which of the following is the best title of the text
A. Cheese—Healthy for people B. A meeting—Traditional at the UN
C. Food waste—Bad for the environment D. Greenhouse gases—Dangerous to the Earth
B
What does it mean to be green Green is more than just a color. It also means taking special steps to protect the environment. Buying a green product is a small step everyone can take. Deciding whether a product is green, however, isn’t always easy. We need to consider the whole life cycle of the product, even after it’s of no use. Here is what we may keep in mind.
The materials of a product are usually our first focus.What is it made of Are there any harmful chemicals in it Green products are made of more natural materials which are free from harmful chemicals, so they can be good for our physical health.
Packing is important. How is a product packed Is it over-packed We’d better choose glass, metal and paper packing, as these can be reused or more easily recycled. We can also look for less packing or even choose unbagged products whenever possible.
Location matters. Where was a product produced Where are we buying it Think about how much energy was used to get it to us. Try to choose local products. When it comes to food, it is a good idea to order directly from local farmers, shop at markets and buy fruits in season. Buying from stores near our houses is also a good choice, because we can go there without driving a car.
Look into what the company tells us about their product. It’s easy to say that a product is “green” or “all natural”, but the words may be too good to be true. So, much of the information about a product should be taken with a grain of salt. After all, companies try to make us believe that their products are environmentally responsible.
The greenest thing is certainly the one we don’t buy. Things like food and clothing are necessary for life. But many others are not. Better than buying is choosing to leave an unnecessary product in the store and doing without. It sends a message to the producer, keeps money in our pockets, reduces waste and keeps the planet healthy.
6. What do we know from Paragraph 1
A. Green is just a kind of color. B. Green also means taking actions to protect the environment.
C. Deciding if a product is green is easy. D. It is a big step to buy a green product.
7. What is talked about in Paragraph 2
A. Why we first focus materials of a product. B. What green products are made of.
C. How a product is packed. D. Where a product is produced.
8. We’d better choose this kind of packing except _______.
A. glass B. metal C. paper D. plastic
9. According to the writer, we should choose a product that is ______.
A. made of unnatural materials B. produced abroad
C. locally produced D. over packed
10. What is the best title for the passage
A. Reducing Energy Use. B. Keeping Healthy. C. Recycling Waste. D. Buying Green.
C
We all know the sun is important. It makes life on our planet possible. But how does the sun do that It’s the sun’s energy.
Energy from the sun is called solar energy（太阳能）. It comes in the form of light or heat. People have used solar energy for thousands of years. The sun’s energy can be used to heat water and even food. If you own a magnifying glass, your parents have probably warned you not to leave it in the sun. Solar energy can actually make the magnifying glass burn objects underneath it causing a fire. This type of energy from the sun is called solar thermal（热的）energy.
We can also turn the sun’s light into electricity. This is done with solar panels（板）. Solar panels are made up of a material called silicon（硅）. The silicon is heated and formed into very thin wafers（晶片）. When the sunlight hits the solar panel, the electrons in the silicon move and flow through wires（电线）. Using this technology, we can run a calculator and even power cars.
But what happens on cloudy days The electrons in the silicon will stop moving, which means the electricity can’t flow. But this doesn’t mean that solar energy can only be used on sunny days. People can use the batteries（电池）which are attached to（附着于）solar panels to store the electricity. So the stored electricity can be used to power cars at night or on cloudy days.
Did you know that solar energy is not as expensive as it used to be In fact, in the last few years, solar panels have become much more affordable for people to use. Since the sun gives off more energy in one second than people have used, imagine what we could do if we used the sun’s energy to power our planet.
11. A magnifying glass can make objects look ________.
A. smaller B. bigger C. more beautiful D. further
12. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us
A. How to use solar thermal energy. B. How to power our planet.
C. How to store electricity with batteries. D. How to turn sunlight into electricity with solar panels.
13. We can use ________ to power cars at night according to the fourth paragraph.
A. thin wafers B. the moonlight C. solar thermal energy D. the stored electricity
14. Which of the following statements is NOT true
A. Solar panels are made up of silicon. B. Solar energy can be used for heating food.
C. It costs more to use solar energy than before. D. People have used solar energy for thousands of years.
15. The passage may come from .
A. a poster B. a storybook C. a newspaper D. a guidebook
四、任务型阅读
Paper is one of our oldest, simplest and most important inventions. It is the pride of us Chinese, but it also presents a danger to the world.
First, the making of paper requires the loss of many millions of trees each year. According to The World Counts, between 2001 and 2019, the world lost a total of 386 million hectares of forest. Of the trees that were cut down, 42 percent went to paper production. That represents a great part of the world’s forests. And worldwide use of paper is expected to double in the next 40 years. Clearly, the planet cannot keep such a high rate of forest Loss.
The second great problem with paper is that when the paper is used, it is useless. A great deal of wastepaper ends up in rubbish and even landfills (废物填埋场)，where it can produce harmful gases. Paper in landfills causes the release (释放) of methane, a gas that is an important factor (因素) in climate (气候) change all around the world.
One simple way to help out can greatly reduce both of these problems: paper recycling. Instead of cutting down trees, recycle used paper to meet the need of paper-making. Effective recycling requires an effort from everyone all over the world. The way to begin is with education and understanding. Once enough people realize the need for recycling, more effective recycling systems can be put into use.
The need is real. The loss of tees influences everybody on earth. Everyone should do their part to recycle paper and encourage government and industry to do the same. The world will be a better place for it!

Dear friends,
It’s my honor to give a speech on how to live a green life. Living a green life is important to us. As students, we should do something to be a greener person.
First, we should save water by taking shorter showers and turning off the tap when we brush our teeth. Second, to save power, we should turn off all the lights when we leave a room. Third, we can plant more trees to protect the environment. Fourth, we can reduce air pollution by riding bicycles instead of driving. Last but not least, we should do more exercise and watch less TV and it is good to plant some flowers at home.
In a word, we should try our best to live a green life.
That’s all. Thank you for listening.

We all know the sun is important. It makes life on our planet possible. But how does the sun do that It’s the sun’s energy.
Energy from the sun is called solar energy（太阳能）. It comes in the form of light or heat. People have used solar energy for thousands of years. The sun’s energy can be used to heat water and even food. If you own a magnifying glass, your parents have probably warned you not to leave it in the sun. Solar energy can actually make the magnifying glass burn objects underneath it causing a fire. This type of energy from the sun is called solar thermal（热的）energy.
We can also turn the sun’s light into electricity. This is done with solar panels（板）. Solar panels are made up of a material called silicon（硅）. The silicon is heated and formed into very thin wafers（晶片）. When the sunlight hits the solar panel, the electrons in the silicon move and flow through wires（电线）. Using this technology, we can run a calculator and even power cars.
But what happens on cloudy days The electrons in the silicon will stop moving, which means the electricity can’t flow. But this doesn’t mean that solar energy can only be used on sunny days. People can use the batteries（电池）which are attached to（附着于）solar panels to store the electricity. So the stored electricity can be used to power cars at night or on cloudy days.

Paper is one of our oldest, simplest and most important inventions. It is the pride of us Chinese, but it also presents a danger to the world.
First, the making of paper requires the loss of many millions of trees each year. According to The World Counts, between 2001 and 2019, the world lost a total of 386 million hectares of forest. Of the trees that were cut down, 42 percent went to paper production. That represents a great part of the world’s forests. And worldwide use of paper is expected to double in the next 40 years. Clearly, the planet cannot keep such a high rate of forest Loss.
The second great problem with paper is that when the paper is used, it is useless. A great deal of wastepaper ends up in rubbish and even landfills (废物填埋场)，where it can produce harmful gases. Paper in landfills causes the release (释放) of methane, a gas that is an important factor (因素) in climate (气候) change all around the world.
One simple way to help out can greatly reduce both of these problems: paper recycling. Instead of cutting down trees, recycle used paper to meet the need of paper-making. Effective recycling requires an effort from everyone all over the world. The way to begin is with education and understanding. Once enough people realize the need for recycling, more effective recycling systems can be put into use.
The need is real. The loss of tees influences everybody on earth. Everyone should do their part to recycle paper and encourage government and industry to do the same. The world will be a better place for it!

Dear friends,
It’s my honor to give a speech on how to live a green life. Living a green life is important to us. As students, we should do something to be a greener person.
First, we should save water by taking shorter showers and turning off the tap when we brush our teeth. Second, to save power, we should turn off all the lights when we leave a room. Third, we can plant more trees to protect the environment. Fourth, we can reduce air pollution by riding bicycles instead of driving. Last but not least, we should do more exercise and watch less TV and it is good to plant some flowers at home.
In a word, we should try our best to live a green life.
That’s all. Thank you for listening.
