C
Ⅱ. Answer the following questions according to the text.
1. What will be the result if ice sheets and glaciers at the North and South Poles melt
【答案】It will release additional water into the ocean, and then warm water takes up more room than cool water. As a result, the ocean becomes warm and sea levels rise further.
2. What are the effects of global warming on the Pacific islands
【答案】Firstly, increasing temperatures cause ice sheets and glaciers at the North and South Poles to melt, releasing additional water into the ocean, so sea levels rise further. Beaches or even whole islands disappear. Extreme temperatures generate extreme rainfall patterns. What is more, many coral reefs, which act as natural barriers and are home to a rich diversity of ocean species, are dying. Without healthy reefs, fish move away, and the islanders have less to eat.
1. Why is an entire village on Vanua Levu in Fiji mentioned in the text
【答案】It tells us that because of increasing global temperatures, many islanders have no choice but to move away from the ocean. The ocean has been part of their lives for generations, so it's really a hard decision for them. Many people like these islanders lose their homes because of global warming.
Activity 2: Read between the lines. [学生用书P34]
2. What efforts are Pacific islanders making to save their homes and lives
【答案】They are working with scientists and learning to protect their homes from flooding and storm surges by building sea walls from old bits of coral reefs. They are cutting down fewer trees, since trees hold onto soil. They are also planting mangrove trees to protect the coastal areas. And, to keep the damaging salt away from their crops, they are growing crops in containers. They are looking for crops that do not mind salty water.
How could you cope with the problem of global warming
【答案】To solve the problem of global warming, we must work together. We must call on people around us to be low carbon people. So long as we leave the room, make sure that all the electrical appliances are switched off to save energy. Go to school on foot or by bike rather than by car. While shopping, we should use environment -friendly bags instead of plastic bags. Only in this way will the Earth become a better place to live on.

Increasing global temperatures can have 1. (disaster) consequences in some ways. The islands in the Pacific, especially low -lying coral ones, are 2. __________(suffer) the serious effects of global warming.

Ⅱ. Answer the following questions according to the text.
1. What is the biggest challenge of using renewable energy in place of fossil fuels
【答案】Most current batteries do not have a storage capacity large enough to meet our daily power demands. Certain high- capacity batteries present problems, such as high manufacturing costs and related environmental damage.
2. How can solar energy be collected and stored
【答案】Solar energy can be collected by placing a solar collector in a location where there is constant sunlight. Thermal batteries can store the extra renewable energy as heat up to the extremely high temperature of 1,000℃ in an inexpensive storage medium like sand or water.
1. Why should fossil fuels be replaced
【答案】Because they have damaging effects on the environment when they are burnt. They produce a large quantity of carbon dioxide, which in turn traps heat and causes global warming.
2. What shows that China is ahead in the development of clean energy technologies
【答案】China manufactures state- of- the -art solar panels and wind turbines, and is the global leader in the production of batteries to power electric vehicles and store renewable energy on power grids. What's more, renewable energy consumption accounts for more than 20 per cent of its total energy consumption, and this figure is increasing.
Activity 2: Read between the lines. [学生用书P20]
Why does the author say renewable energy is a gift for the future

Please write a composition on the topic “Protecting Wild Animals”. You should write about 150 words, and base your composition on the outline given below in Chinese.
1. 说明现状；
2. 分析原因；
3. 提出看法和建议。
Many animals are in danger of dying out. As is reported, the past decades have witnessed the sharp decrease of the quantity of wildlife. With 30,000 wild animals reduced on average annually, there were only 1.5 million left till 2021.
There are a variety of reasons accounting for this phenomenon. Apart from the polluted environment and natural disasters, illegal killing is a fundamental aspect. In the meantime, human beings are making attempts to hunt wild animals for fashion and profits, resulting in a sharp decrease in the number of animals.
From my point of view, it is urgent for us to take immediate action and do our part to protect them. Initially, a national public campaign should be launched to educate people about affording animals a good living environment. In addition, the government should pass some firm laws to prohibit animal killing. Only in this way can we live in harmony with wild animals.
