Section Ⅳ Writing a letter to express ideas
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Every 22 April people come together to take action that will protect the environment.The theme of Earth Day 2023 was “Invest in Our Planet”.So how is investment in eco-innovation helping to deliver a more sustainable future？
When it comes to the environment， it is universally accepted that the technology industry is both the problem and the solution.Tech is responsible for between 3.5% and 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions.Meanwhile the EU estimates that the Information and Communication Technology （ICT） sector is responsible for 10% of all electricity consumption.On the other hand， we all want a sustainable future for the planet.Yet we also want the convenience and fun of modern living.Only eco-innovation can deliver the solutions.
Eco-innovation is the key to doing more with less.All over the world， and across many different industries， innovators are working to reduce human footprints while improving productivity.Innovative farming is a good example.
Until very recently， most agricultural improvements were mechanical in nature.Now digital tools are kick-starting （启动） a new wave of efficiencies.Innovative farming companies look to increase farm efficiency and decrease input waste through farming techniques.And they are embedding （嵌入） real-time sensors located in the field or in equipment.The data collected by these sensors help farmers make better decisions about where to allocate （分配） effort and resources while minimizing environmental footprints.GPS technology makes planting and input application far more accurate than manual tractor methods， meaning that farmers can decrease fertilizer waste.
As we approach Earth Day on 22 April， the pressure is on the tech industry to keep working on the inventions like those described above.These breakthroughs will help us all to do more with less.Meanwhile， tech firms are also facing calls to keep their own houses in order.Lawmakers and consumers want them to use fewer materials in the manufacturing and rethink their approach to recycling and waste.The good news is that governments and eco-innovative companies themselves are already committed to a major clean-up.
1.According to Paragraph 2， what can we learn about the technology industry？（ ）
A.It benefits and damages the environment.
B.It contributes to electricity saving.
C.It is a major cause of greenhouse gas emissions.
D.It brings a sustainable future to us.
2.Which has the greatest significance for better environment？（ ）
A.The governments’ investment.
B.The eco-innovation.
C.Natural law.
D.The green agricultural development.
3.How did the author show recent agricultural improvements？（ ）
A.By making examples.
B.By making improvement lists.
C.By analyzing data.
D.By stating the fewer agricultural materials.
4.What is the trend of agricultural efficiencies？（ ）
A.The innovation of machine.
B.The management of resources.
C.The application of digital tools.
D.The improvement of industry.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Marcus sat by his window， looking at the blinking lights on other buildings. He thought of Papa， who was visiting Marcus’ sick grandpa in Jamaica. “I’ll try to help Mama while you’re gone，” Marcus had promised his father.
His little brother， Peter， sat beside him and asked when they could get their Christmas tree so that he could decorate it with Mama’s Jamaican straw birds. Mama walked up and told them they couldn’t get a tree this year； she explained there were too many bills because of Grandpa’s disease and that they couldn’t afford one.
Someone knocked on their apartment door suddenly， and Marcus hurried to the door， only to see it was his friend Jack. He let him in， and Jack look around， “No tree yet？ I set an artificial tree a week ago. It’s up to the ceiling （天花板）. Just two more days till Christmas！ I guess you’re not getting a tree.” Marcus walked slowly to his room and shook his piggy bank （存钱罐）. Seven dollars and some dimes （十分硬币） fell out — his trips from helping at the market. He thought he could earn enough in two days to buy a tree and surprise Mama and Peter.
The next day， he stayed busy pushing carts to help shoppers. By the time he left， six more dollars jingled in his pocket. “My lucky day，” he thought. Thirteen dollars should buy a small tree. He whistled all the way to the store. But even the smallest trees were $15 or more. “Tomorrow will be busy with shoppers，” he thought. He was determined to earn those extra dollars.
The telephone rang early the next morning. Mama came into his room and said， “I need to go out today， Marcus. I’ll need you to take care of Peter for a day.” Marcus anxiously said it would be the busiest day at Mr Smith’s market and he had to be there. “I’m so sorry. There’s nothing else we can do.” Mama gave Marcus a hug， promised to come early and headed for work.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
“I’ll never get a tree now，” Marcus thought.
Marcus set their tree on the table.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Every 22 April people come together to take action that will protect
the environment.The theme of Earth Day 2023 was “Invest in Our
Planet”.So how is investment in eco-innovation helping to deliver a more
sustainable future？
When it comes to the environment， it is universally accepted that the
technology industry is both the problem and the solution.Tech is
responsible for between 3.5% and 4% of global greenhouse gas
emissions.Meanwhile the EU estimates that the Information and
Communication Technology （ICT） sector is responsible for 10% of all
electricity consumption.On the other hand， we all want a sustainable
future for the planet.Yet we also want the convenience and fun of modern
living.Only eco-innovation can deliver the solutions.
Eco-innovation is the key to doing more with less.All over the
world， and across many different industries， innovators are working to
reduce human footprints while improving productivity.Innovative farming
is a good example.
Until very recently， most agricultural improvements were
mechanical in nature.Now digital tools are kick-starting （启动） a new
wave of efficiencies.Innovative farming companies look to increase farm
efficiency and decrease input waste through farming techniques.And they
are embedding （嵌入） real-time sensors located in the field or in
equipment.The data collected by these sensors help farmers make better
decisions about where to allocate （分配） effort and resources while
minimizing environmental footprints.GPS technology makes planting and
input application far more accurate than manual tractor methods，
meaning that farmers can decrease fertilizer waste.
As we approach Earth Day on 22 April， the pressure is on the tech
industry to keep working on the inventions like those described
above.These breakthroughs will help us all to do more with
less.Meanwhile， tech firms are also facing calls to keep their own houses
in order.Lawmakers and consumers want them to use fewer materials in
the manufacturing and rethink their approach to recycling and waste.The
good news is that governments and eco-innovative companies themselves
are already committed to a major clean-up.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构
成一篇完整的短文。
Marcus sat by his window， looking at the blinking lights on other
buildings. He thought of Papa， who was visiting Marcus’ sick grandpa
in Jamaica. “I’ll try to help Mama while you’re gone，” Marcus had
promised his father.
His little brother， Peter， sat beside him and asked when they could
get their Christmas tree so that he could decorate it with Mama’s
Jamaican straw birds. Mama walked up and told them they couldn’t get a
tree this year； she explained there were too many bills because of
Grandpa’s disease and that they couldn’t afford one.
Someone knocked on their apartment door suddenly， and Marcus
hurried to the door， only to see it was his friend Jack. He let him in，
and Jack look around， “No tree yet？ I set an artificial tree a week ago.
It’s up to the ceiling （天花板）. Just two more days till Christmas！ I
guess you’re not getting a tree.” Marcus walked slowly to his room and
shook his piggy bank （存钱罐）. Seven dollars and some dimes （十分
硬币） fell out — his trips from helping at the market. He thought he
could earn enough in two days to buy a tree and surprise Mama and Peter.
The next day， he stayed busy pushing carts to help shoppers. By the
time he left， six more dollars jingled in his pocket. “My lucky day，”
he thought. Thirteen dollars should buy a small tree. He whistled all the
way to the store. But even the smallest trees were $15 or more.
“Tomorrow will be busy with shoppers，” he thought. He was
determined to earn those extra dollars.
The telephone rang early the next morning. Mama came into his
room and said， “I need to go out today， Marcus. I’ll need you to
take care of Peter for a day.” Marcus anxiously said it would be the
busiest day at Mr Smith’s market and he had to be there. “I’m so
sorry. There’s nothing else we can do.” Mama gave Marcus a hug，
promised to come early and headed for work.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
“I’ll never get a tree now，” Marcus thought.
Marcus set their tree on the table.
参考范文：
“I’ll never get a tree now，” Marcus thought. Later， Peter
pleaded， “Can we go out？” After thinking for a moment， Marcus
nodded. He took his brother to the tree lot. There， he saw that most of
the trees were gone， including the one he had wanted. Then Marcus saw
a very small tree in the corner. He asked if it was for sale. The seller said
“That’s my last growing tree. It is small now， but it will grow tall as
you do. It is Christmas Eve. For you， six dollars.” They bought the
tree. With the rest of their money， they bought a scarf for Mama， a fire
truck for Peter， a wallet for Marcus and a red tie， which matched black
suits， for Papa.
Marcus set their tree on the table. They began placing Mama’s straw
birds on the branches. They also decorated the tree with a variety of lamps
and hung the gifts. So when Mama got home， it was such a great surprise
that she was moved to tears. They sang and danced around the tree，
spending an unforgettable Christmas. Marcus thought “When Papa
returns， he’ll see that I keep my promise to help Mama while he is
away.”
谢谢观看！
