One possible version:
With private cars increasing, the traffic jams in our city have become more and more serious, so I, on behalf of the Students’ Union, am writing to appeal to everyone to go green.
Through green travel, we can not only contribute to a sustainable environment by saving resources but also have a healthy lifestyle.To achieve that, I suggest that we should first further raise awareness of the importance of going green.
Besides, it’s significant for us to ride bicycles or choose public transport instead of private vehicles as much as possible, which can avoid traffic jams.
It is high time that we should travel in a green way.A small act makes a great difference.Let’s act now and enjoy a green life!

【答案】
The river of my hometown was once polluted, with rubbish of different colours floating on it and no fish in it. Seriously polluted, the river occasionally gave off an unpleasant smell with the wind, especially in hot summer.
The local residents and several factories on both sides of the river were to blame.
The water quality suffered greatly from an increasing volume of the local residents, who frequently threw huge amounts of garbage into it. Worse still, the waste from the factories was directly poured into the river, contributing to the severe water pollution of the river. So far, a comprehensive initiative has been started, with a number of measures that addressed the issues, such as improving the collection and transport of household waste and a restriction regarding the disposal of waste in the factories. The government also uses the media to raise public awareness of the environmental protection.
With our joint efforts, the river has been turned into a clean one. I do hope that we individuals can protect the environment and live harmoniously with nature.(共105张PPT)

(3)时态特征:当动词的-ing形式作结果状语时,其表示的动作通常发生在谓语动词所表示的动作之后,因此用一般式。
(4)语态特征:逻辑主语与构成动词的-ing形式的动词之间为逻辑上的主谓关系。

On Earth Day, people around the world work to help our planet.But April 22 isn’t the only day this happens. Many people, including kids, protect the Earth all year long.Read about some inspiring stories, and then decide how you will make a difference.
Justin Sather, 10,from Los Angeles, California
When he was 5, Justin learnt that his favourite animal’s habitat was in danger.So he took action.He started a group called For the Love of Frogs and sold toy frogs to raise money.Justin said that frogs are an “indicator species”,which means that when their habitat is threatened, they show signs of illness earlier than other animals.“Frogs are telling us our planet really needs your help,”Justin added.
Aadya Joshi, 16, from Mumbai, India
When Aadya was 13, she changed a junk lot in her neighbourhood into a garden by using plants native to the area because native species attract native insects and animals.“The way to fix the habitat isn’t just to plant any tree,” she said.“It’s to replace what was torn down from that spot.” Now Aadya is leading the Right Green, an organisation she founded to educate people about growing native plants and maintaining healthy ecosystems.
Xavier Baquero-Iglesias, 11, from Naples,Florida
While playing with friends on Astroturf(artificial grass), Xavier noticed it was super hot, much hotter than real grass.Xavier used his knowledge of science to figure out why.Then he invented SoleX Turf which uses the heat from Astroturf to make electricity.Xavier said his invention created electricity in a way that was not harmful to the environment, “I wanted to find a way to reduce the effects of climate change and the main way is to find renewable energy sources.”
1.What do the underlined words “indicator species” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A.Frogs living in the damaged habitat.
B.Animals like frogs facing extinction.
C.Animals suffering from deadly illness.
D.Creatures monitoring environmental changes.
2.What is the proper way to repair the ecosystems according to Aadya
A.Planting more trees.
B.Growing native plants.
C.Changing junk lots into gardens.
D.Preventing foreign insects and animals.
3.What is the value of Xavier’s invention
A.It can make Astroturf cool.
B.It helps reduce electricity waste.
C.It can bring down the price of electricity.
D.It makes electricity in a pollution-free way.
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.Activities on Earth Day
B.Kid Heroes for the Planet
C.Organisations for the Ecosystem
D.Benefits of Protecting the Earth
【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述三名青少年为保护环境所做的努力。

3.D 细节理解题。根据Xavier Baquero-Iglesias, 11, from Naples, Florida部分的“Xavier said his invention created electricity in a way that was not harmful to the environment”可知,Xavier的发明的价值在于它能够以无污染的方式发电。故选D项。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述的是一位农民与农场上的浣熊之间发生的既有趣又发人深思的故事,也揭示了大自然的奥秘。
1.C 考查动词辨析。根据空格后的“the waste land into fields”可知,作者首先用拖拉机把荒地变成了良田,以便耕种。change…into…意为“把……变成……”。故选C项。
2.B 考查副词辨析。根据空格前的“the corn grew so well”及空格后的“I was troubled by the damage”可知,此处表示转折关系,因为接下来介绍浣熊破坏了庄稼。故选B项。
3.D 考查名词辨析。根据空格后的“large amounts of corn were eaten”可知,浣熊应该是在收获的季节破坏庄稼,吃掉大量的玉米。故选D项。
4.B 考查动词短语辨析。根据下文中的“the mother started licking…leg”可知,浣熊妈妈给孩子舔伤口的情节可知,在作者走近时,浣熊妈妈为了保护幼崽并没有跑开。break away 挣脱,逃脱;run away 逃避,逃走;jump up 突然站起,大幅上涨;turn up 把音量调高。故选B项。
5.D 考查动词辨析。根据语境可知,作者伸出手,设法给小浣熊松开夹子。reach out to意为“把手伸向”。故选D项。
6.C 考查名词辨析。根据常识和下文中的“and got really upset”可知,小浣熊看到有人靠近,会很不安,因此露出牙齿作恐吓状。故选C项。
7.A 考查动词辨析。根据下文中的“It didn?t run away though.”可知,看到小浣能的举动,为了防止被咬伤,作者给它松开夹子放它走。故选A项。
8.A 考查形容词辨析。根据语境可知,夹子夹住了小浣熊的腿,因此它的腿受伤了。故选A项。
9.C 考查名词辨析。根据上文中的“I placed traps in several places around the fields”可知,作者主要在庄稼地周围采取措施防治小浣熊偷吃玉米。为了保护庄稼同时又不伤害浣熊,作者只好采取折中的办法,即在庄稼地的周围放一些次等的玉米。故选C项。
10.A 考查动词辨析。根据下文中的“damage by the raccoons stopped almost completely”以及下一段中的“we should learn to share”可知,作者放的这些次等玉米都不见了。故选A项。
11.D 考查动词辨析。根据下文中的“if I actually fed them, the raccoons would __12__ me more, but that didn’t happen”可知,作者之前担心如果真的喂它们,浣熊会更加打搅作者,但这并没有发生。故选D项。
12.B 考查动词辨析。根据“that didn’t happen”以及语境可知,作者本以为如果给浣熊提供食物,它们就会得寸进尺,吃更多的庄稼,但实际上并不是这样。故选B项。
13.C 考查动词辨析。根据语境可知,看到自己的投食办法能够很好地保护庄稼,作者决定不再使用捕熊的夹子。故选C项。
14.D 考查名词辨析。根据语境可知,作者通过放置次等的玉米从而很有效地保护了庄稼,这是一种很奇妙的经历。从这件事中,他见证了自然的秘密。故选D项。
15.A 考查动词辨析。根据下文中的“We turn what used to belong to the raccoons into our fields.So while farming, we should learn to share”农民们之所以遭受这种损失,是因为他们想独占一切收成。take在此处为“索取”的意思。故选A项。(共107张PPT)

Keys:3.引导词 4.时间状语 5.语序
□直接引语与间接引语
直接引语变为间接引语,被转述的分句(即宾语从句)的某些限定词、人称、时态、状语、个别指示代词和动词等方面需做相应的变化。
一、句式的变化
1.直接引语是陈述句
变为间接引语时,常变成由that引导的宾语从句。在口语中,that可以省略。引述动词如果是say to或said to,常相应地改为tell或told。
She said to me, “I came back an hour ago.”
→She told me (that) she had come back an hour before.
2.直接引语是疑问句
(1)直接引语是一般疑问句、选择疑问句或反意疑问句时,间接引语中用whether(…or…或…or not)或if引导。疑问语序改为陈述语序。引述动词如果是say或said,常相应地改为ask或asked。
Mother said to her daughter, “Are you satisfied with your new room?”
→Mother asked her daughter whether/if she was satisfied with her new room.
(2)若直接引语是特殊疑问句,则间接引语仍用原句中的特殊疑问词来引导,其余的变化遵照直接引语和间接引语之间的转换规则来进行。但要注意把疑问语序变成陈述语序。
“When will the sports meet be held?” he said.
→He asked when the sports meet would be held.
3.直接引语是祈使句
(1)如果直接引语表示要求和命令,变间接引语时常采用ask/tell/order sb to do sth的形式。
“Follow his instructions,” she said to me.
→She told me to follow his instructions.
(2)如果直接引语表示建议、提议,变间接引语时多采用suggest+doing/that从句(如suggest后接that从句,从句使用虚拟语气“should+动词原形”,should也可省略)、offer to do和ask/advise/want sb+to do等结构。
Jack said, “Let’s go to the cinema tonight.”
→Jack suggested that we (should) go to the cinema that night.
→Jack suggested our going to the cinema that night.
(3)如果直接引语是表示请求的祈使句,变间接引语时,常用ask,beg等动词转述。
My daughter said to me, “Please don’t leave me alone at home.”
→My daughter begged me not to leave her alone at home.
(4)如果直接引语是表示警告或提醒的祈使句,变间接引语时,常用warn,remind等动词转述。
Tom said to me, “Don’t forget to buy that book.”
→Tom reminded me not to forget to buy that book.
(5)如果直接引语中祈使句是否定形式,变间接引语时,不定式符号to前要加not或never。
She said, “Don’t make so much noise,children!”
→She told the children not to make so much noise.
【名师点津】
引述原话为祈使句的直接引语转换成间接引语时,注意直接引语中如果有please,间接引语中需要省去。
The old man said to Lily, “Please read the letter to me.”
→The old man asked Lily to read the letter to him.
二、人称的变化
1.“一随主”,指在直接引语变间接引语时,如果直接引语中的主语是第一人称或被第一人称修饰,从句中的人称要按照主句中主语的人称变化。
Mary said, “I want to have a computer of my own.”
→Mary said that she wanted to have a computer of her own.
2.“二随宾”,指直接引语变间接引语时,若直接引语中的主语及宾语是第二人称或被第二人称修饰,从句中的人称要跟引号外的主句的宾语一致。
Her colleague said to her, “Who did you ask for a leave?”
→Her colleague asked her who she had asked for a leave.
3.“第三人称不更新”,指直接引语变间接引语时,如果直接引语中的主语及宾语是第三人称或被第三人称修饰,从句中的人称一般不需要变化。
The workers said, “The leaders often make the workers work extra hours.”
→The workers said that the leaders often made the workers work extra hours.
三、时态的变化
1.若直接引语中主句的谓语动词为一般过去时,变为间接引语时,时态要变为过去的某一时态。直接引语变间接引语时句子时态变化如表:
引语 直接引语 间接引语
句子 时态 一般现在时 一般过去时
现在进行时 过去进行时
现在完成时 过去完成时
一般过去时 过去完成时
过去完成时 过去完成时
一般将来时 过去将来时
2.直接引语变为间接引语,时态不发生变化的情况:
(1)直接引语是客观真理、谚语和格言时;
The teacher said to them, “The moon is much smaller than the sun.”
→The teacher told them that the moon is much smaller than the sun.
(2)直接引语中有具体的过去的某年、某月、某日作状语,变为间接引语时,时态不变;
The girl said, “I was born in Beijing in 2008.”
→The girl said that she was born in Beijing in 2008.
(3)直接引语中主句的谓语动词为一般现在时,变为间接引语时,时态不变。
He says, “I didn’t go to school today.”
→He says that he didn’t go to school that day.
四、指示代词、状语及方向性动词的变化
引语 直接引语 间接引语
指示 代词 this that
these those
时间 状语 now then
today that day
tonight that night
yesterday the day before
引语 直接引语 间接引语
时间 状语 ago before
three days ago three days before
tomorrow the next/following day
last month/week the month/week before
next month/week the next month/week
the day before yesterday two days before
地点状语 here there
方向性动词 come go
bring take

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Fashion designers are always looking for new materials to work with. Lately, it’s all about environment-friendly materials—recycled tires, mushrooms, even pineapple fibres! What if you want such a pair of shoes Thaely is here to help.
This sneaker brand out of Dubai wants to fight the growing problem of plastic pollution. Led by 26-year-old Indian businessman Ashay Bhave, they may have found a winning approach: making shoes out of plastic grocery bags. “Thaely” means “plastic bag” in the Hindi language.
“I was looking to create footwear that is cost-effective and safe for the environment,” Bhave said in an interview with a newspaper. “I needed to come up with something that uses recycled plastic without creating any more plastic waste.” Plastic bags were the perfect solution. He said five trillion plastic bags are used around the world each year. “I was motivated to find a solution to this problem,” Bhave said.
That solution was the fibre called ThaelyTex. Made entirely from plastic bags, the material looks and feels like leather. That sounds promising. Better yet, the production process requires no additional chemicals and produces no poisonous by-products. The result is a smart-looking pair of white low-top sneakers.
Bhave wouldn’t expose the full process for making ThaelyTex, but he said that each pair of shoes was made from up to 15 plastic bags and 22 plastic bottles. Where do they get the materials Bhave told Elle that was the hardest part. “The biggest challenge we faced was right at the first step of acquiring the plastic bags.”
Finally, they got help from Triotap Technologies, a waste management plant. Bhave said they offered to collect the bags and also process them into ThaelyTex.
So far, it seems like things are falling into place. There are already hundreds of pre-orders in place. It sounds like they have some plans for the future. “We have a few more colours coming up,” said Bhave. They also plan to put out a high-top model and bring in a line of clothing. Let’s hope their growth is also friendly to the environment.
1.Why did Bhave choose to make shoes out of plastic bags
A.To set a new footwear trend.
B.To test new materials for footwear.
C.To reduce the use of plastic bags in his home country.
D.To use recycled plastic in an environment-friendly way.
2.What was the most difficult task for Bhave
A.Having a few more colours for Thaely.
B.Processing plastic bags into ThaelyTex.
C.Collecting enough production materials.
D.Dealing with many poisonous by-products.
3.What does the underlined phrase “put out” in the last paragraph probably mean
A.Produce. B.Conserve.
C.Provide. D.Broadcast.
4.What can be the best title for this text
A.Bhave: A Promising Young Man
B.Thaely: Killer of Waste Plastic Bags
C.ThaelyTex: Fibre Feels Like Leather
D.Triotap Technologies: A Waste Management Plant
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。印度商人Ashay Bhave找到了回收使用塑料袋的新方法——把塑料袋制成一种叫作ThaelyTex的纤维,然后用这种纤维制作鞋子。这样,塑料袋得以回收利用,从而减少对环境的污染。
1.D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This sneaker brand out of Dubai wants to fight the growing problem of plastic pollution.”及第三段中的“I needed to come up with something that uses recycled plastic without creating any more plastic waste.”可知,Bhave选择用塑料袋制作鞋子是因为他想用环保的方式使用回收的塑料。故选D项。
2.C 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The biggest challenge we faced was right at the first step of acquiring the plastic bags.”可知,对Bhave来说,最大的困难是获得足够的塑料袋来作为生产材料。故选C项。
3.A 词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“a high-top model and bring in a line of clothing”和语境可知,put out在该句中意为“生产”,与produce意义一致。故选A项。
4.B 标题推测题。通览全文,尤其是第一段内容可知,本文讲述印度商人Ashay Bhave回收使用塑料袋的方法:把塑料袋制成ThaelyTex纤维再用来制作鞋子。这样塑料袋得以回收利用,同时减少了对环境的污染。B项“Thaely:废弃塑料袋的杀手”最适合作标题。故选B项。
Ⅱ.七选五
In this article, we want to present why nature conservation and the promotion of sustainable development principles are important.
Environmental protection prevents natural disasters.Nature struggles for balance.This is how forests absorb CO2, grow and change it into oxygen.This provides an opportunity for life and also slows down climate change.The destruction of forests greatly changes the climate of entire regions, or even causes powerful floods.__1__
Environmental protection stimulates research and technological innovation.The idea for the first flying machine was inspired by bird observation.The rainforest is the richest source of many medicines.Almost every animal and plant has its own technical secrets.__2__ With the disappearance of ecosystems and wildlife species, the base for scientific research and technical improvement is nowhere to find.
Protecting the environment is protecting people.The loss of natural resources leads to economic crises, wars or diseases.__3__ For example, the reduction of the population of bees will affect not only the production of honey, but also the whole food production system.No bees—no honey, no fruit, very few vegetables.This leads to hunger, diseases, migrations and wars.
__4__ We meet with like-minded people.Any local success—the rescue of an endangered population for reserves—becomes a cause for global joy and inspires more participation.
We humans are part of nature and its cycles ourselves.Our impact on ecosystems has noticeable influence on our daily lives.But it can be predicted and avoided if you think with your head and act carefully.__5__ Even small deeds can improve the state of nature and our lives on the planet.
A.People spy on them and copy.
B.We are strongly dependent on it.
C.Respect for ecosystems helps to avoid such troubles.
D.And positive change can be promoted in the same way.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah—Drive west of this high desert city, and it’s like entering another world. Or maybe better put, another worldly landscape: the vast, and drying wetlands along the Great Salt Lake, the largest salt lake left in the western hemisphere (西半球), some fifty miles long and thirty wide.
Carly Biedul is part of a team of scientists who have been tracking the lake’s decline amid the West’s record drought, which is made worse by climate change.They’ve been conducting weekly trips to various sampling and study sites for the last several years at the remote lake that only recently started making international headlines due to its sharp decline.Scientists warn the lake has already shrunk(缩减) nearly in half from its historical average.“For these birds that queue into these salty habitats, there are fewer places for them to go,” says Heidi Hoven, a wetlands ecologist.
Scientists say the West is believed to be as dry as it’s been in 1,200 years.The record drought has been contributing to the Great Salt Lake’s decline.But agriculture usually bears the major part of the blame.Upstream water diversion for expanding farms has meant less and less flows into the lake.Utah’s population is also growing fast, and the development is now running right up to the lake.
But all this shock and alarm, the scientists say, may be good.Faced with such severe situation, the state is being pushed into action.Utah Governor Spencer Cox has promised the lake won’t dry up on his watch.The state’s finance department has put upwards of a billion dollars lately into water conservation programmes.Heidi Hoven sees the shorebirds as a key indicator species.“We have so much more to understand about what their needs are.In these changing times, it’s really highlighting the need to understand these things quickly.The last two winters may have bought Utah a little time, but no one in the West is depending on another good snow year next year,” she says.
1.What can we learn about the Great Salt Lake
A.It is the biggest salt lake in the world.
B.It has been a worldwide focus for long.
C.It is declining at an alarming rate.
D.It attracts more and more birds.
2.What is the major cause of the lake’s drying up
A.Water diversion.
B.Climate change.
C.Increasing population.
D.Housing development.
3.What is Utah’s reaction towards the drought
A.Its governor just made a false promise.
B.It is determined to improve the situation.
C.It asks scientists to keep watching.
D.It spends lots of money to clear farms.
4.What is Heidi Hoven’s attitude towards the drying Great Salt Lake
A.Optimistic. B.Uncaring.
C.Relieved. D.Worried.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。报道主要介绍的是犹他州盐湖干涸的相关情况。
1.C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They’ve been conducting weekly trips to various sampling and study sites for the last several years at the remote lake that only recently started making international headlines due to its sharp decline.Scientists warn the lake has already shrunk(缩减) nearly in half from its historical average.”可知,这个湖泊的水位急剧下降,现在已经比历史水平缩小了近一半,由此可知,这个湖泊正以惊人的速度缩减。故选C项。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The record drought has been contributing to the Great Salt Lake’s decline.But agriculture usually bears the major part of the blame.Upstream water diversion for expanding farms has meant less and less flows into the lake.”可知,农业对盐湖水量减少承担主要责任,为了扩大农场而进行的上游调水使得进入盐湖的水越来越少,由此可知,导流是造成盐湖干涸的主要原因。故选A项。
3.B 细节理解题。根据尾段中的 “Faced with such severe situation, the state is being pushed into action.Utah Governor Spencer Cox has promised the lake won’t dry up on his watch.The state’s finance department has put upwards of a billion dollars lately into water conservation programmes.”可知,面对严峻形势,国家被迫采取行动,最近在水资源保护项目上投入了超过10亿美元,由此可知,面对干旱,犹他州决定改善当前的状况。故选B项。
4.D 推理判断题。根据尾段中的“’We have so much more to understand about what their needs are.In these changing times, it’s really highlighting the need to understand these things quickly.The last two winters may have bought Utah a little time, but no one in the West is depending on another good snow year next year,’ she says.”可知,Heidi Hoven认为,过去两年给犹他州赢得了一点时间,但西部没有人指望明年会有一个好冬天,由此可推断,Heidi Hoven对盐湖的干涸持担忧态度。故选D项。

When Abdus Salam looks across the garbage-filled river near his home in one of the major clothing producing districts in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, here members a time before the factories moved in.“When I was young, there were no clothing factories here. We used to catch fish in the river,” he said. The river beside him is now black like ink. Waste from nearby clothing factories has polluted the water.
Fashion is responsible for up to one-fifth of industrial water pollution, thanks in part to weak management and enforcement in producer countries like Bangladesh, the world’s second biggest clothing producing country, where wastewater is commonly discharged directly into rivers and streams. The wastewater not only hurts the environment, but pollutes drinking water sources. 2
Once in waterways, poisonous chemicals from dyes(染料) build up to the point where light is prevented from coming through the surface, reducing plants’ ability to photosynthesise(进行光合作用). This lowers oxygen levels in the water,killing plants and animals. These chemicals and heavy metals can also build up in the body, increasing the risk of serious illnesses and skin problems. What’s worse, chemical-rich water is also used to water crops, with one recent study finding that dyes were present in vegetables and fruit grown around Savar, just north of Dhaka.
Luckily, change is coming. In Bangladesh, there are signs clothing producers are taking environmental responsibility more seriously, with brands committing to initiatives, such as the Partnership for Cleaner Textile, that tackle water, energy and chemical use in the industry. Shahab Uddin of Bangladesh’s Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change said a range of measures were being taken to address pollution, including updating conservation and environmental laws,
giving fines to polluters, setting up centralised treatment plants, and working with international development partners to improve wastewater treatment. And under a new environmental policy called Zero Liquid Discharge, dyeing, finishing and washing industries must submit a time-bound plan to reduce, recycle and reuse wastewater.
“There is definitely room for further improvement. These challenges cannot be solved overnight,” Uddin added.
5.What is the main purpose of the first paragraph
A.To blame clothing factories for the river pollution.
B.To introduce Bangladesh’s clothing industry.
C.To call for the closure of clothing factories.
D.To recall the good old days in Dhaka.
6.What can we learn about Bangladesh
A.It is the biggest clothing producing country.
B.It causes 20% of the world’s water pollution.
C.It suffers from serious drinking water shortages.
D.It has poor control over wastewater discharge.
7.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A.The difficulty of dealing with poisonous chemicals in waterways.
B.The chemicals from dyes negatively affecting photosynthesis.
C.The damaging effects of wastewater from the fashion industry.
D.The way to remove harmful chemicals from the food chain.
8.What does Zero Liquid Discharge require the clothing industry to do
A.Establish centralised treatment plants.
B.Set a deadline for tackling wastewater.
C.Pay high fines for discharging wastewater.
D.Join international groups to treat wastewater.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。孟加拉国作为世界第二大服装生产国,其服装业造成了严重的水污染。
5.A 推理判断题。第一段主要描写了Abdus Salam看到他家附近满是垃圾的河时,想起了还没建服装厂的时候,那时他们常常在河里抓鱼。而现在的河水黑得像墨,附近的服装厂污染了水。由此可知,本段主要是为了指责服装厂对河流造成污染。故选A项。
6.D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Fashion is responsible for…wastewater is commonly discharged directly into rivers and streams.”可知,时装业造成了高达五分之一的工业水污染,部分原因是生产国管理和执法不力,比如世界第二大服装生产国孟加拉国,那里的废水通常直接排放到河流和溪流中。由此可知,孟加拉国对废水排放监管不力。故选D项。
7.C 段落大意题。通读第三段内容可知,染料中的有毒化学物质一旦进入水道就会积聚到阻止光线穿过水面的程度,从而降低植物进行光合作用的能力。这降低了水中的氧气水平,杀死了植物和动物。这些化学物质和重金属也会在体内积聚,增加患严重疾病和皮肤病问题的风险。更糟糕的是,富含化学物质的水也被用于灌溉庄稼。由此可知,第三段主要讲述服装工业废水的破坏作用。故选C项。
8.B 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“And under a new environmental policy…must submit a time-bound plan to reduce, recycle and reuse wastewater.”可知,根据Zero Liquid Discharge环境政策,染色、精加工和洗涤行业必须提交一个有时限的计划,以减少、回收和再利用废水,即服装行业必须设置处理废水的最后时限。故选B项。
