Liu Jichen,23,a student from Tsinghua University,has developed a WeChat mini-program called “Clear Your Plate”.After a meal,users can open the mini-program and take a picture of their empty plates.Once the image is recognized by the AI(Artificial Intelligence),students can collect points and use them to buy gifts or purchase charity meals to children in poor rural areas.
Liu and his team,together with other organizations,launched the “Clear Your Plate” campaign in November for the third year.It has swept over 1,017 universities across the country.The one-month campaign attracted almost 1.6 million participants and collectively reduced food waste by 862 tons and carbon emissions(碳排放) by 3,337 tons.
“Technological innovation is a good way to reduce food waste,” Liu thought.He organized a team of 20 members to work on the project at the end of 2017.To solve the AI’s problem of identifying photos of empty plates,the team spent half a year collecting over 100,000 samples in canteens and restaurants.In 2018,the mini-program was officially put into operation on Oct 16,World Food Day.They then launched a campaign later that year.
“There were so many unknowns in research and development.For our team members,the biggest challenge was whether we were confident enough to complete it,” Liu said.They not only achieved their goal,but now,the mini-program has more than 5 million registered users,according to Liu.“We hope our efforts can start a new trend among the younger generation by encouraging them to cherish(珍惜) their food and develop the habit of thrift(节约),” Liu added.

How green are you Do you know how to be green
We all need a healthy environment,but we produce waste every day and it is harmful to our environment.Though we are young,we can still do something to help.Here are some ideas for you.
Reduce
Reduce means “use less”.Don’t waste things.This saves money and reduces pollution.Before we buy something new,think whether it is really necessary—or maybe the old one is still useful.
Reuse
Reuse means “use again”.When we buy things,make sure that they can last a long time.When something is broken,we should repair it instead of throwing it away and buying a new one.Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag.It’s better to use a china (瓷) cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.
Recycle
Recycle means “change things into something else”.Though it takes energy to change something into something else,it’s better than throwing things away or burning them.
So please remember these words:reduce,reuse and recycle.

A.How to produce things.

One year,a college in the United States announced that it would offer a lot of money for the pure white marigold (金盏花).The high reward attracted so many people,but in nature,besides golden,the marigold is brown,and it is not easy to get the white one.So after they were excited for a time,many people had forgotten the announcement.
One normal day after 20 years,the college received a letter and 100 seeds of pure white marigold.It was an old woman of over 70 years old.Some experts in the college doubted it,but in order not to let her down,those seeds finally took root (根) in the earth.The miracle appeared after one year;the field was covered by pure white marigold.

Finally,after 20 years on the day we all know,in the garden she saw a marigold,which was nearly white,but as white as silver or snow.

Ⅷ.七选五
We all grew up hearing people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air”. 1 According to recent studies,the answer is a big YES,if the air quality in your camping area is good.
2 If the air you’re breathing is clean — which it would be if you’re away from the smog of cities — then the air is filled with life-giving,energizing oxygen.If you exercise out of doors,your body will learn to breathe more deeply,allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles (肌肉) and your brain.
Recently,people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing (治愈). 3 In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery.It turns out that just looking at green,growing things can reduce stress,lower blood pressure,and put people into a better mood (情绪).Greenery is good for us.Hospital patients who see tree branches out of their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. 4 It gives us a great feeling of peace.
5 While the sun’s rays can age and harm our skin,they also give us beneficial Vitamin D.To make sure you get enough Vitamin D — but still protect your skin — put on sunscreen right as you head outside.It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working,and that’s plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day’s worth of Vitamin D.
A.Fresh air cleans our lungs.
B.So what are you waiting for
C.Being in nature refreshes us.
D.Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.
E.But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said
F.Just as importantly,we tend to associate air with health care.
G.All across the country,recovery centres have begun building Healing Gardens.

Ⅶ.【语篇解读】23岁的清华大学学生刘继臣开发了一个名为“清盘”的微信小程序,用技术创新来帮助减少食物浪费。
1.D 细节理解题。根据第一段中“...students can collect points and use them to buy gifts or purchase charity meals to children in poor rural areas.”可知,通过拍空盘子的照片到这个小程序,参与者可以获得积分,同时可以利用积分来购买礼物或购买捐赠给贫困农村地区儿童的慈善餐。所以这是不浪费食物而获得回报的一种交换。
2.B 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“For our team members,the biggest challenge was whether we were confident enough to complete it(对于我们的团队成员来说,最大的挑战是我们是否有足够的信心去完成它)”可知,对于是否能完成这个任务刘的团队是不确定的。
3.D 推理判断题。根据第一段第一句中的“has developed a WeChat mini-program called ‘Clear Your Plate’”可知,刘继臣是极具创造性的人;由倒数第二段中的“To solve the AI’s problem of identifying photos of empty plates,the team spent half a year collecting over 100,000 samples in canteens and restaurants.(为了解决人工智能识别空盘子照片的问题,研究小组花了半年时间,在食堂和餐馆收集了超过10万个样本。)”可知,刘和他的团队是意志坚定的。
4.B 推理判断题。根据第一段第一句“Liu Jichen,23,a student from Tsinghua University,has developed a WeChat mini-program called ‘Clear Your Plate’.”可知,本文主要讲述了23岁的刘继臣发明了“清盘”的微信小程序,所以本文最有可能是一篇新闻报道。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章谈论的是有关绿色生活的reduce,reuse以及recycle。
5.C 根据“How green are you Do you know how to be green ”可知本文主要讲的是我们如何做才能环保。故选C项。
6.B 根据“Reduce means ‘use less’.Don’t waste things.”可知减少浪费,不要浪费东西。故选B项。
7.A 用陶瓷杯或午餐盒是因为可以重复利用,故选A项。
8.D 本文是倡导大家如何环保,故可能摘自杂志。故选D项。
【语篇解读】一位对种子基因知识一无所知的老太太用了20年的时间种出了白色的金盏花,这是一个奇迹。
9.A 根据第一段中的“in nature,besides golden,the marigold is brown,and it is not easy to get the white one”可知白色的金盏花比较不同寻常。
10.A 根据第四段中的“But her eight children were totally against her decision.”可知选A项。
11.B 根据倒数第四段中的“only the wish to grow the pure white marigold took root in her heart”可知那位老妇人之所以能种出白色的金盏花是因为她把这个梦想扎根于心中。因此选B项。
12.D 本文主要讲述了一位对种子基因知识一无所知的老太太用了20年的时间种出了白色的金盏花的故事,这是一个奇迹,因此D项最佳。说明了坚持梦想的重要性。
Ⅷ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了呼吸新鲜空气和接近大自然有益于身心健康。
1.E 空格前一句说我们都是听着别人告诉我们“出去呼吸点新鲜空气”长大的,空格后一句说这个答案是肯定的。根据“the answer is a big YES”可判断空格处应该填一个一般疑问句,所以E项“但是新鲜空气真的像你妈妈常说的那样对你有好处吗 ”符合语境。
2.A 根据空格后的内容可知,如果人们呼吸的空气是干净的,那么空气中就充满了给予人生命的、让人充满活力的氧气。如果在户外锻炼,人的身体会学会深呼吸,让更多的氧气进入肌肉和大脑。所以本段落主要说的是呼吸新鲜空气的好处。故A项“新鲜空气清洁我们的肺”符合语境。
3.G 空格后的these places与G项中的recovery centres相呼应,代入G项“全国各地的康复中心已经开始建造康复花园”符合语境。
4.C 空格前介绍了接近大自然、看绿色植物对病人的康复有益,空格后一句说“它给我们一种内心平和的感觉”,由此可推断出空格处应该表达置身于大自然的好处,故选C项“置身于大自然使我们精神焕发”。
5.D 空格后一句说,虽然阳光会老化和伤害我们的皮肤,但它们也能带来有益的维生素D。这应该是呼吸新鲜空气附带的好处,故D项“呼吸新鲜空气的附带好处是获得阳光”符合语境,D项中的sunlight与空格后的the sun’s rays相呼应。UNIT 8 分层跟踪检测(三) WRITING WORKSHOP & VIEWING WORKSHOP & READING CLUB & ASSESSMENT

Trees are useful to man in three very important ways:they provide him food,wood and other products;they give him shade;and they help to prevent drought(干旱) and floods.
Unfortunately,in many parts of the world,man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important.In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees,he has cut them down in large numbers.
Two thousand years ago,a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships,with which to gain itself an empire.It gained the empire but,without its trees,its soil became bare and poor.When the empire fell to pieces,the country found itself faced by floods and starvation.
Even where the government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees,it is difficult sometimes to make the people realize this.They cut down the trees but are too careless to plant and look after new trees.So unless the government has a good system of control,or can educate the people,the forests will slowly disappear.
This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees.The results are even more serious: for where there are trees,their roots break the soil up,allowing the rain to sink in,and also bind the soil.This prevents the soil from being washed away.But where there are no trees,the rainfalls on hard ground and flows away on the surface,and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich top soil in which crops grow.When all the top soil is gone,nothing remains but worthless desert.
1.Trees are useful to man mainly in three ways,the most important of which is that they can .
A.keep him from the hot sunshine
B.protect him from droughts and floods
C.make him draw quick profit from them
D.enable him to build warships
2.It’s a great pity that .
A.man hasn’t realized the importance of trees to him
B.man is eager to profit from trees
C.man is only interested in building empires
D.man hasn’t found out that he has lost all trees
3.Sooner or later the forests will disappear .
A.unless a country has a plenty supply of trees
B.unless people stop cutting down their trees
C.unless the government punishes those who cut trees instead of planting them
D.unless all people are taught the importance of planting trees
4.The underlined word “bind” in paragraph 5 means “ ”.
A.to wash away B.to make stay together
C.to make wet D.to improve
Ⅶ.七选五

Hesitantly he knocked at the door,thinking about what to say when it opened.However,he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.“What can I do for you ” asked the young woman.The boy paused for a while,“Would you please give me some...a drink of water ”The boy dared not to look directly into her eyes.She looked at the bony boy and thought he might need something to give him energy so she brought him a glass of milk.His head rising and small hands taking the cup.He drank it up slowly,and then asked,“How much do I owe you ” “You don’t owe me anything,” she replied with a warm smile on her face.“My mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.” Deeply moved,he said sincerely,“Then I shall thank you from the bottom of my heart.” As Howard Kelly left that house,he not only felt stronger physically,but it also increased his faith in God and the whole human race.As a matter of fact,he was about to give up and quit before that point.
Years later the young woman became seriously ill.However,the local doctors were unable to give the effective medical treatment.Finally they sent her to a hospital in the big city,where specialists can be called in to cure her rare disease.Among those famous specialists,Dr.Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation(会诊).When he heard the name of the town she came from,a strange light filled his eyes.Immediately,he rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room.

Ⅵ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。这篇短文从三个方面告诉我们树对人类来说是重要的。一是树可以为人类和动物提供食物、木材和其他产品;二是树可以给人类提供树荫;三是树木可以防止干旱和洪水的发生。因此我们要多植树,注意保护树木。
1.B 细节理解题。根据第一段“Trees are useful to man in three very important ways:they provide him food,wood and other products;they give him shade;and they help to prevent drought and floods.”以及第二段第一句“Unfortunately,in many parts of the world,man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important.”可知,树对人类的用处主要有三方面,其中最重要的是它们能保护人类免受干旱和洪水的侵害。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Unfortunately,in many parts of the world,man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important.”可知很遗憾的是,人类没有意识到树木对他们的重要性。
3.D 细节理解题。根据第四段末句“So unless the government has a good system of control,or can educate the people,the forests will slowly disappear.”可知除非所有人都被教导植树的重要性,否则森林迟早会消失。
4.B 词义猜测题。下句“This prevents the soil from being washed away.”意思是这可以防止土壤被冲走。由此推断出该句的意思是因为有树的地方,它们的根会把土壤弄碎,让雨水渗入,也会把土壤凝固在一起。“bind”的意思是“凝固”。
Ⅶ.【语篇解读】你知道哪些保护生态环境的生活方式吗 本文提供了几种简单的方法。
1.G 本部分的标题是“防止家庭能源泄漏”,对比七个选项,G项中的by fixing leaks 与 energy leaks相呼应。
2.A 根据下文可知谈的是树的益处,A项(树有许多好处)与下文相符。
3.D 根据该部分的“If you use ceiling fans during hot summer days”可知,D项符合语境。
4.C 本部分谈的是使用太阳能,空格后面谈的是如何使用太阳能产品,对比七个选项可知,C项(有许多使用太阳能的方法)符合语境。
5.E 本部分谈的是“绿色出行”,E项(你可以乘公交车去电影院)属于绿色出行。
Ⅷ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。我们用过的东西随手就扔掉了。慢慢地,我们的社会就变成了一个一次性社会,为什么会产生这种现象 我们该如何解决这一问题 本文给我们提出了建议。
1.D 联系后文的“countries around the world have growing mountains of...”可知,堆积如山的垃圾已经成了社会问题(problem)了。key关键;reason原因;project工程。
2.B 结合空后的“because people are throwing out more rubbish than ever before”可知,因为人们扔的垃圾越来越多,垃圾已经堆积成山,故该空填rubbish。gift礼物;debt债务;product产品。
3.C 结合空前的“easier to”和后文的“to spend time and money to repair it”可知,替换(replace)一件东西比花时间和金钱修理它要容易得多。hide藏;control控制;withdraw撤回,退出。
4.C 结合前文的“quickly and inexpensively”可知此处是指“产品充足,价格便宜(cheap)”。safe安全的;funny有趣的;powerful强有力的。
5.A 从后文“we are always looking for ways to save time and make our lives easier”可知,我们对于一次性产品的喜爱(love)是我们制造太多垃圾的另一个原因。lack缺乏;prevention阻止;division分开,分割。
6.D 从后文的“to save time and make our lives easier”可知,我们总是很忙碌(busy)。sensitive善解人意的;kind善良的;brave勇敢的。
7.C 由主语Companies可知,工厂应该是生产(produce)大量的一次性产品。donate捐赠;receive收到;preserve保存。
8.D 联系空前的“Our appetite for new products also”可知,我们对新产品的渴望也导致了(contributes to)这个问题。adapt 适应;return返回;respond回答,回应。
9.A 上句中的“new things”及空后的“with the latest products”都暗示该空填newer。广告说服我们,越新的越好。
10.D 联系后文的“to make room for new ones”可知,我们常常是扔掉(throw away)有用的物品,去给新的东西腾出地方。pick up捡起,收听,学会;pay for支付;hold onto抓住不放。
11.D 从下文的“Mountains of rubbish just keep getting bigger.”可知,在全世界我们都可以看到这种一次性的生活方式所带来的后果(consequences)。advantage好处;purpose目的;function功能。
12.C 结合后文的“more governments are requiring people to recycle materials”可知,是为了减少(decrease)垃圾的数量。show展示;record记录;measure测量。
13.B 减少垃圾,回收利用的目的就是保护环境(environment)。
14.A 联系空后的“this is not enough to solve our problem”可知,空前后为转折关系,故用However。otherwise否则;therefore因此;meanwhile同时。
15.A 结合前文“Our appetite for new products”及后文“Repairing our possessions and changing our spending habits...”可知,我们也需要重新考虑我们的消费(spending)态度了。collect收集;repair修理;advertise做广告。

World Environment Day is celebrated annually on June 5th and was created to inspire people around the globe to take an active part in environmental protection and learn more about ways we can help to guarantee the future of our planet is safe.
The very first World Environment Day took place in 1974,established by the United Nations General Assembly on the first day of the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment that took place in 1972.Each year the United Nations picks a theme and a host city where anyone who is concerned about the environment can talk about environmental topics with others,followed by different kinds of exhibits to promote environmental awareness.Environmentalists,academics and scientists come together to bring new ideas on the table concerning the environment.
The 2018 World Environment Day was hosted by India,and the theme was “Beat Plastic Pollution”.It urged people to explore and choose supportable alternatives like paper or cloth bags to reduce the production and use of disposable plastic,which made up 10% of all of the waste.Even though the United Nations picks a specific host city every year,people around the world still celebrate World Environment Day in their hometowns with parades(游行),concerts,cleaning up and tree planting and all kinds of green actions to work towards having a beautiful planet and battling pollution.
World Environment Day is not a public holiday,so you won’t be getting the day off work or school,but if you want to celebrate,why not bring it to the attention of your parents,friends,colleagues or classmates World Environment Day is all about working together to take action for the planet,so try to get everyone you know interested in helping do something.Things as small as making sure people have a way to recycle can make a difference.You could also try beautifying your neighborhood by planting gardens,learn about green foods,raise money for a local wildlife conservation group or simply learn about the effects of different products on the earth.
4.Why is World Environment Day set up
A.To make people know more about nature.
B.To ask people to help to protect the globe.
C.To warn people of the danger of air pollution.
D.To encourage people to plan the earth’s future.

China is a land of bicycles.At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country.Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle.Millions of them,all black.Cars were rare.Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year,I’ve found the opposite is true.There are millions of cars.However,people still use their bicycles to get around.For many,it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.Bicycles also come in different colors—silver,green,red,blue,yellow,whatever you want.
It’s fun watching people biking.They rush quickly through crossroads,move skillfully through traffic,and ride even on sidewalks (人行道).Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture,I decided to buy a bicycle.Great weather accompanied my great buy.I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and headed towards home.
My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的).To be safe,I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times.I didn’t want to get hit.So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem.It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States.The streets here were wide,so crossing took time,skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home.The feeling on the bicycle was amazing.The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful.I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people.Biking made me feel alive.
8.According to the author,why are bicycles still popular in China today
A.Because they are traditional and safe.
B.Because they are convenient and inexpensive.
C.Because they are colorful and available.
D.Because they are fast and environment friendly.
9.The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended .
A.to ride it for fun
B.to use it for transport
C.to experience local culture
D.to improve his riding skills
10.How did the author feel about his street crossing
A.It was boring.
B.It was difficult.
C.It was lively.
D.It was wonderful.
11.Which of the following best describes the author’s biking experience
A.The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.
B.The author was annoyed by the air while riding.
C.The author was praised by the other bikers.
D.The author took great pleasure in biking.
Ⅵ.七选五
The Chongyang Festival falls on the ninth day of the ninth month in the Chinese lunar calendar and people usually celebrate it by going mountain climbing. 1 However,they are an important part of Chinese culture and we must protect and maintain them.
Traditional festivals teach us a lot about our nation’s history.The Dragon Boat Festival,for example,is celebrated in honor of Qu Yuan,a great poet living in the Warring States period of ancient China. 2 Promoting traditional festivals helps spread knowledge about national history.
3 Many festivals,such as the Mid-Autumn Festival,have a caring,family-centered message at their heart.The full moon on the festival is considered to stand for family togetherness and family members will come back home even if they live very far away.With the celebrations of these festivals,younger generations learn to honor fine Chinese values.
Finally,traditional festivals are a source of national pride and help shape our national identity.For example,we celebrate the Hanshi Festival and the Laba Festival with unique customs,and these shared experiences bring us together as a people. 4
Traditional festivals have been passed down to us from previous generations. 5
A.Some will get together,appreciating the full moon.
B.It is our responsibility to protect them for the coming generations.
C.Memorizing national history helps with our all-around development.
D.Traditional festivals also enable us to learn more about fine Chinese values.
E.Traditional festivals tell us who we are and fill us with pride in being Chinese.
F.Unfortunately,many traditional festivals are becoming less and less popular in modern society.
G.By celebrating it with rice dumplings and dragon boat races,the story of Qu Yuan is passed down from generation to generation.
