Ⅱ.阅读理解【主题:人与自然 世界地球日】
April 22nd is World Earth Day.It’s a day that tells us to care about our planet.
The Earth faces a lot of problems.Global warming is one of the greatest challenges today.It makes the Earth hot and changes the global weather.It also makes the sea level (海平面) rise.If the sea level keeps rising,some places such as the Maldives,St.Petersburg in Russia and Bangkok in Thailand may disappear under the water in just a few years.
Another big problem is water pollution.The freshwater resources humans can actually use account for about 0.26% of the total water on the Earth.But people throw rubbish and pour dirty water into rivers and the sea.Almost 3 billion people in the world are expected to face water shortage in 2025.
Besides,humans are using up natural resources.The areas of forests are becoming smaller and smaller because people cut them down for building.Forests play a key role in mitigating (缓解) climate change.
It’s time that we should do something to protect our planet.It’s everyone’s duty to save the Earth.

Ⅲ.阅读表达【主题:人与自然 怎样预防全球变暖】
You can be proud of yourselves,even if you can only make one or two of these green changes.The goal here is to limit carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) and other greenhouse gases,which are closely connected to the big problem of global warming.
Way 1:Bring your own cup to Starbucks.You’ll get a 10-cent discount,and it’s one less paper cup to end up in a dustbin.The store won’t create more waste when they throw away a cup.
Way 2:Turn off your computer.When in standby mode(待机模式),your PC is still using energy.Turning off a monitor (显示器) for 40 hours a week may only save $5 a month,but it reduces CO2 by 750 pounds!
Way 3:Reuse plastic bags.Instead of throwing away 100 billion plastic bags a year,try and get a second,third,or tenth use out of them.Better yet,next time you shop,try a reusable bag.You’re reducing pollution.The amount of oil it would take to make just 14 plastic bags would run your car for one mile.
Way 4:Use recycled paper in the bathroom.
Most of the toilet paper we use is made from trees found in forests previously untouched by humans.If every family took the place of one roll of toilet paper with a recycled one,424,000 trees would still be standing.
Way 5:Plant a tree.Adding green to your garden is beautiful and earth-pleasing.Just one tree will help make cleaner air and save the environment from 5,000 pounds of hot carbon dioxide each year.
