In the west of the Greek capital Athens, the fish market of Keratsini is busy early in the morning, with trucks waiting nearby to be loaded with fishes.But on his fishing boat, Arapakis sorts out something different — bottles, boots, plastic pipes and fishing nets, all dragged from the bed of the Aegean Sea.
“We are swimming in plastic,” said Arapakis, whose family has fished for five generations.“By 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in the sea,” he said, as recent reports noted.
That morning’s plastic catch weighed “about 100 kilograms”, said the founder of Enaleia, a nonprofit that encourages fishermen to collect marine (海洋的) waste caught in their nets.Since its establishment in 2018, it has worked with more than 1,200 fishermen in Greece to raise concern over the degradation of the marine environment.
Active in 42 ports throughout Greece, Enaleia provides fishermen with large bags for marine waste that they can put in garbage cans once back at port.For every kilogram of plastic they deliver, they receive a small amount of money, which is enough for a drink.Since October, fishing crews have dragged out 20 metric tons of plastic and old fishing equipment each month.Nearly 600 tons have been collected over the last five years.The collected plastic is transported to a recycling plant in the industrial area of Megara near Keratsini, to make new products such as socks, swimwear or furniture.
Arapakis said he went about the clean-up project after a trip to Greece’s Cyclades islands, where he saw fishermen throwing the waste gathered by their nets back into the sea.
Arapakis is convinced there has been a “mentality change” among Greece’s fishermen.“Previously we caught large quantities of plastic, but we only kept the fish.All waste was thrown into the sea,” said Mokharam, team leader on the Arapakis family’s boat.“The project brings practical benefits for fishing boats.In the past, the anchor was often caught by waste, especially nets, and the engine would go out.But now things have changed,” he added.
1.What can we learn about Arapakis from the first two paragraphs?
A.He was a successful fish trader. B.He collected waste from the sea.
C.He liked swimming in the sea. D.He had a large family to support.
2.What does the underlined word “degradation” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Impact. B.Worsening.
C.Improvement. D.Research.
3.What will most probably happen to the collected waste in the end?
A.It will be sold at a high price. B.It will be exchanged for food.
C.It will be thrown back into the sea. D.It will be well dealt with for reuse.
4.What can we infer from Mokharam’s words?
A.Fishing is a tough job for fishermen.
B.The sea in Greece is seriously polluted.
C.He thinks highly of the clean-up project.
D.He still feels ashamed for fishermen’s behavior.
B
Getting rid of (丢弃) old tyres (轮胎) has long been a problem.Every year many tyres are thrown.Some of the ways might be better than getting rid of them, but they are not especially green.
Energy recovery (回收利用) is one common way.This includes burning tyres to produce electricity, or as a way to provide heat for other industrial processes.But that produces planet-warming pollution.Tyres can be whole or broken in construction projects, such as repairing roads.There are, however, worries about chemicals from the tyres coming out and polluting the ground.
So some companies have begun exploring another pleasing idea.Since tyres are mostly made from hydrocarbons (碳氢化合物), it should be possible in principle to turn old tyres into environmentally friendly materials which can be used to run some cars they came from.One of the most thoughtful companies is based in Oslo, Norway.Later this year the company will start building a huge tyre-reused factory in Sunderland in northeastern England.In a couple of years, when the factory is fully operational, it will be able to turn 8 million old tyres into new products.
The process works by dividing a tyre into its three main parts.One is steel, which is used to support the structure of a tyre and which can be easily reused.The second is powder used to improve the continuous use of the tyre.The third is rubber.Some of that will be natural rubber from the rubber trees.The carbon black can be reused to make new tyres.That is of interest to tyre makers because it helps efforts to become carbon neutral (碳中和).
5.What is the disadvantage of energy recovery of tyres mentioned in the text?
A.It is unpractical. B.It produces pollution.
C.It costs a lot. D.It produces less electricity.
6.How is Paragraph 3 organized?
A.By giving an example. B.By making questions.
C.By following time order. D.By comparing differences.
7.Which of the following best describes the huge tyre-reused factory?
A.Costly. B.Useful.
C.Dangerous. D.Short-lived.
8.Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.Tyres Can Be Divided into Three Parts
B.A Company Built a Tyre-reused Factory
C.Energy Recovery Can Deal with Old Tyres
D.Old Tyres Can Become Environmentally Friendly Materials
C
People have different ways of dealing with waste paper, specifically used newspapers.Some put them in the recycling area, while others keep them as wrappers.While these are both good measures, a Japanese publishing company had a better idea for their end use.
The Mainichi Newspapers Co., Ltd.invented the “Green Newspaper”, which allows people to grow plants with it.This unique newspaper was published on Greenery Day, which is focused on environmental news and made of green paper with seeds placed into it.What makes it even more special is the ink (油墨) used to print words and photos, which is made from plants.The publisher advises readers to tear the used newspaper into small pieces and plant them in a container with soil.They should water them, like they would do for any plant.Within a few weeks, the seeds will grow into plants.
This brilliant concept was invented by Dentsu Inc., one of Japan’s most famous advertising agencies, which works with the publishing company on the initiative (倡议).The publisher’s belief is environmental sustainability (持续性).As its mission statement says, “The Mainichi doesn’t take action only through information, but also by solving global issues.” With joint efforts, this initiative has reached the corners of Japan and sold around millions of copies daily.Other such initiatives producing plantable paper are also seen in India and the US.
About 95 million trees are lost for producing newspapers every year.The Internet, the number of whose users stands for 62.5 per cent of the population worldwide, has influenced how people read news and the print readership has dropped greatly.However, the reinvention and reimagination of this newspaper will bring about a change in the publishing industry as well as having an environmental influence.
9.What do we know about the “Green Newspaper”?
A.It uses high-tech materials.
B.It provides energy for seeds.
C.It’s printed with plant-based ink.
D.It’s published to celebrate Greenery Day.
10.What message does the publisher’s mission statement convey?
A.It’s easier said than done.
B.Everything comes to him who waits.
C.Many hands make light work.
D.Actions speak louder than words.
11.What’s the author’s attitude to the “Green Newspaper”?
A.Doubtful. B.Supportive.
C.Indifferent. D.Negative.
12.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.About 59 million trees are lost for producing newspapers.
B.The Internet has changed the way people read news totally.
C.The popularity of the Internet leads to the fall of the print readership.
D.The “Green Newspaper” will encourage more people to protect the environment.

Dear editor,
Nowadays, global warming is becoming serious. I am writing to put forward my suggestions on fighting global warming.
Global warming has many harmful effects, such as the rise of sea levels, many natural disasters and so on. Therefore, it’s time to take measures. First of all, we should save energy. Secondly, we should plant more trees to absorb carbon dioxide. Finally and most importantly, we should raise people’s awareness of the importance of protecting the environment.
I hope that through our joint efforts, we can deal with global warming effectively.
Yours,

热爱园艺
“如果从合适的角度去欣赏,你会发现整个世界就是一个花园。” 《秘密花园》的作者曾这样说。这本书1911年首次出版,在当时的英国,只有富豪才拥有花园。不久之后,人们开始建造带有花园的房子,英国人对园艺的热爱就此开始!如今,数以百万的英国人喜欢说他们有“绿手指(意为擅长园艺)”,约有一半的英国人都把空闲时间用在打理花园上。
对于许多英国人来说,花园就是他们的私密世界。每年春天,孩子们种下向日葵,满怀期待地看谁种的长得最高。高明的园丁对于花园里哪个角落最合适种玫瑰都了如指掌,其他人则花费大量时间力图种出最完美的蔬菜参加竞赛。虽然许多英国人认为锄草是周日最棒的活动,但也有的人只要能坐在树下享受周围世界的美丽就心满意足了。
但在城市里,有限的空间促使人们寻找新的解决方案。住宅外部没有空间的居民可以租用小块土地种植作物。现如今,伦敦有四千多人在等待租用这样的土地。近期的一个理念是将屋顶和墙壁改造为私人花园。这些花园可以增加城市绿化面积、改善空气质量。
除了能改善环境,园艺还能净化心灵。还有什么其他业余活动能让你在享受自然的同时创造出更美丽的生物呢?如果你对这一点有任何疑问,请停下片刻,回味一下《秘密花园》中的这句话:“当你种下玫瑰……蓟草就不会生长。”

A Love of Gardening
[1]“If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is
a garden.” These words come from the author of the book The Secret
Garden, first published① in 1911.At that time②, only the very rich in
Britain had gardens.Very soon after this, homes with gardens began to be
built.[2]This is what started the British love of gardening![3]Today,
millions of③ Brits like to say that they have “green fingers④”,with
around half the population spending their free time gardening⑤.
[1]If引导条件状语从句;that引导宾语从句,作see的宾语。
[2]what引导表语从句。
[3]that引导宾语从句;with around half the population spending
their free time gardening 为with复合结构作状语。

①publish v.出版
②at that time 在那时,那时

④green fingers 高超的种植技能
⑤spend ...(in) doing sth花费(时间、金钱)做某事
For many people in the UK, their garden is their own private
world.[4]Each spring, children plant sunflowers and wait to see which
one is the tallest.Expert⑥ gardeners⑦ know just the right corner for
roses, and others spend hours trying to grow perfect vegetables to enter
into⑧ competitions.[5]And while many Brits like nothing better than
spending their Sunday cutting the grass, some are happy just to sit under
the branches of the trees and enjoy the beauty⑨ of the world around them.

waiting for such pieces of land.One recent idea has been to turn rooftops
and walls into private gardens.These gardens have helped make the

热爱园艺
“如果从合适的角度去欣赏,你会发现整个世界就是一个花
园。” 《秘密花园》的作者曾这样说。这本书1911年首次出版,在当
时的英国,只有富豪才拥有花园。不久之后,人们开始建造带有花园
的房子,英国人对园艺的热爱就此开始!如今,数以百万的英国人喜
欢说他们有“绿手指(意为擅长园艺)”,约有一半的英国人都把空
闲时间用在打理花园上。
对于许多英国人来说,花园就是他们的私密世界。每年春
天,孩子们种下向日葵,满怀期待地看谁种的长得最高。高明的
园丁对于花园里哪个角落最合适种玫瑰都了如指掌,其他人则花
费大量时间力图种出最完美的蔬菜参加竞赛。虽然许多英国人认
为锄草是周日最棒的活动,但也有的人只要能坐在树下享受周围
世界的美丽就心满意足了。
但在城市里,有限的空间促使人们寻找新的解决方案。住宅外部
没有空间的居民可以租用小块土地种植作物。现如今,伦敦有四千多
人在等待租用这样的土地。近期的一个理念是将屋顶和墙壁改造为私
人花园。这些花园可以增加城市绿化面积、改善空气质量。
除了能改善环境,园艺还能净化心灵。还有什么其他业余活动能
让你在享受自然的同时创造出更美丽的生物呢?如果你对这一点有任
何疑问,请停下片刻,回味一下《秘密花园》中的这句话:“当你种

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
In the west of the Greek capital Athens, the fish market of Keratsini
is busy early in the morning, with trucks waiting nearby to be loaded
with fishes.But on his fishing boat, Arapakis sorts out something
different — bottles, boots, plastic pipes and fishing nets, all dragged
from the bed of the Aegean Sea.
“We are swimming in plastic,” said Arapakis, whose family has
fished for five generations.“By 2050, there will be more plastic than
fish in the sea,” he said, as recent reports noted.
That morning’s plastic catch weighed “about 100 kilograms”,
said the founder of Enaleia, a nonprofit that encourages fishermen to
collect marine (海洋的) waste caught in their nets.Since its
establishment in 2018, it has worked with more than 1,200 fishermen in
Greece to raise concern over the degradation of the marine environment.
Active in 42 ports throughout Greece, Enaleia provides fishermen
with large bags for marine waste that they can put in garbage cans once
back at port.For every kilogram of plastic they deliver, they receive a
small amount of money, which is enough for a drink.Since October,
fishing crews have dragged out 20 metric tons of plastic and old fishing
equipment each month.Nearly 600 tons have been collected over the last
five years.The collected plastic is transported to a recycling plant in the
industrial area of Megara near Keratsini, to make new products such as
socks, swimwear or furniture.
Arapakis said he went about the clean-up project after a trip to
Greece’s Cyclades islands, where he saw fishermen throwing the waste
gathered by their nets back into the sea.
Arapakis is convinced there has been a “mentality change” among
Greece’s fishermen.“Previously we caught large quantities of plastic,
but we only kept the fish.All waste was thrown into the sea,” said
Mokharam, team leader on the Arapakis family’s boat.“The project
brings practical benefits for fishing boats.In the past, the anchor was
often caught by waste, especially nets, and the engine would go
out.But now things have changed,” he added.

A. It will be sold at a high price.
B. It will be exchanged for food.
C. It will be thrown back into the sea.

船带来了实际利益,所以他对清理工程评价很高。
B
Getting rid of (丢弃) old tyres (轮胎) has long been a
problem.Every year many tyres are thrown.Some of the ways might be
better than getting rid of them, but they are not especially green.
Energy recovery (回收利用) is one common way.This includes
burning tyres to produce electricity, or as a way to provide heat for other
industrial processes.But that produces planet-warming pollution.Tyres can
be whole or broken in construction projects, such as repairing
roads.There are, however, worries about chemicals from the tyres
coming out and polluting the ground.
So some companies have begun exploring another pleasing
idea.Since tyres are mostly made from hydrocarbons (碳氢化合物),
it should be possible in principle to turn old tyres into environmentally
friendly materials which can be used to run some cars they came from.One
of the most thoughtful companies is based in Oslo, Norway.Later this
year the company will start building a huge tyre-reused factory in
Sunderland in northeastern England.In a couple of years, when the
factory is fully operational, it will be able to turn 8 million old tyres into
new products.
The process works by dividing a tyre into its three main parts.One is
steel, which is used to support the structure of a tyre and which can be
easily reused.The second is powder used to improve the continuous use of
the tyre.The third is rubber.Some of that will be natural rubber from the
rubber trees.The carbon black can be reused to make new tyres.That is of
interest to tyre makers because it helps efforts to become carbon neutral
(碳中和).

People have different ways of dealing with waste paper, specifically
used newspapers.Some put them in the recycling area, while others keep
them as wrappers.While these are both good measures, a Japanese
publishing company had a better idea for their end use.
The Mainichi Newspapers Co., Ltd.invented the “Green
Newspaper”, which allows people to grow plants with it.This unique
newspaper was published on Greenery Day, which is focused on
environmental news and made of green paper with seeds placed into
it.What makes it even more special is the ink (油墨) used to print
words and photos, which is made from plants.The publisher advises
readers to tear the used newspaper into small pieces and plant them in a
container with soil.They should water them, like they would do for any
plant.Within a few weeks, the seeds will grow into plants.
This brilliant concept was invented by Dentsu Inc., one of Japan’s
most famous advertising agencies, which works with the publishing
company on the initiative (倡议).The publisher’s belief is
environmental sustainability (持续性).As its mission statement says,
“The Mainichi doesn’t take action only through information, but also
by solving global issues.” With joint efforts, this initiative has reached
the corners of Japan and sold around millions of copies daily.Other such
initiatives producing plantable paper are also seen in India and the US.
About 95 million trees are lost for producing newspapers every
year.The Internet, the number of whose users stands for 62.5 per cent of
the population worldwide, has influenced how people read news and the
print readership has dropped greatly.However, the reinvention and
reimagination of this newspaper will bring about a change in the publishing
industry as well as having an environmental influence.

参考范文:
Dear editor,
Nowadays, global warming is becoming serious. I am writing to put
forward my suggestions on fighting global warming.
Global warming has many harmful effects, such as the rise of sea levels, many natural disasters and so on. Therefore, it’s time to take measures. First of all, we should save energy. Secondly, we should plant more trees to absorb carbon dioxide. Finally and most importantly, we should raise people’s awareness of the importance of protecting the environment.
I hope that through our joint efforts, we can deal with global
warming effectively.
Yours,
Li Hua
