A
The goal of the “clean & Green” home recycling initiative (倡议) is to assist households in reducing their environmental footprint by providing step-by-step instructions on effective
recycling practices.
Understanding Recycling Types
Plastics: These include bottles, containers and other packaging materials. Always clean plastics before recycling to avoid pollution.
paper: Newspapers, magazines, and cardboard are recyclable. However, soiled or wet paper should be discarded as regular waste.
Glass: Bottles and jars ofall colors can be recycled. Ensure they are free of food waste.
Metals: Common recyclables are aluminum cans and tin foil (锡纸). Remove any food waste before disposal.
Steps for Effective Home Recycling
Collection: Use separate bins for each type. Mark containers to avoid confusion.
Preparation: As mentioned above, clean the items. This prevents waste and increases the recyclability of the materials.
Storage: Avoid overfilling recycling bins. Overpacked bins might lead to improper sorting at recycling facilities.
Drop-off: If your city doesn’t offer roadside pickup locate your nearest recycling drop-off point.
Stay Informed: Recycling guidelines can change. Regularly check city websites for “clean & Green” updates.
Recycling DOs and DON’Ts
DO: encourage neighbors and friends to adopt recycling habits;
invest in composting (堆肥) if possible; it’s another great way to reduce waste; DON’T: mix different types in one bin;
试卷第 4 页,共 13 页
recycle dangerous or electronic waste with regular recyclables;
Benefits of Recycling:
Reduces landfill (垃圾填埋) waste.
Conserves natural resources and energy.
Prevents pollution by reducing the need for raw materials.
Supports public health by minimizing exposure to harmful things.
Join the “clean & Green” initiative today and play your part in creating a bright future for the next generations!
21 .The primary goal of the “clean & Green” initiative is to
A .sell recycling bins B .encourage composting
C .update recycling guidelines frequently D .reduce households’ environmental footprints 22 .Which of the following materials needs to be cleaned before recycling
A .Paper. B .Metals. C .Plastics. D .Glass.
23 .Which of the following statements is TRUE
A .It’s important to stay updated on recycling guidelines.
B .Electronic waste can be recycled with regular recyclables.
C .You should mix different types in one bin to save space.
D .Wet paper is preferred for recycling as it’s easier to process.

New Zealand plans to put a price on sheep and cow burps (打嗝) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (排放). If the plan is passed, New Zealand will become the first country to tax (征税)
farmers on each burp of their cattle, since the burps give out methane (甲烷) into the atmosphere.
“There is no question that we need to cut the amount of methane we are putting into the
atmosphere, and an effective emissions pricing system for agriculture will play a key part in how we achieve that,” Climate Change Minister James Shaw said.
Animal agriculture is one of the leading causes of global warming. It is reportedly
responsible for at least 14.5% of the world’s emissions. Moreover, cows are by far the biggest
contributors. This is so because they produce 40% of global methane when they burp, fart (放屁) and produce waste. Also, methane is 80 times more warming than CO2 although it’s shorter-lived
试卷第 5 页,共 13 页
in the atmosphere.
New Zealand, which has a population of five million people, has around 10 million cattle and 26 million sheep. “Almost half the country’s total greenhouse gas emissions come from
agriculture, mainly methane,” the draft plan explained.
The “burp tax” is expected to take effect in 2025. Mr. Shaw wants farming to be more
environmentally friendly. He also wants farmers to change the way they farm. He wants them to feed their animals on seaweed instead of grass. This will produce fewer emissions. Mr. Shaw also said farmers can reduce the tax they pay by planting more trees. Another suggestion is for cows to wear special masks.
New Zealand’s farmers support the government. They want to do their bit to help the environment.
24 .Why will cattle’s burps be taxed
A .To raise more money. B .To feed more cattle.
C .To limit cattle’s price. D .To better the environment.
25 .Which is a fact about New Zealand according to the text
A .Its cows produce 40% of global methane.
B .Its agriculture affects greenhouse gas emissions.
C .It is responsible for at least 14.5% of the world’s emissions.
D .There is 80 times more methane than CO2.
26 .What can farmers do to pay less tax according to Mr. Shaw
A .Plant more trees. B .Correct their way to farm.
C .Feed their animals on grass. D .Wear special masks when farming.
27 .Which can be the best title of the text
A .New Zealand reducing greenhouse gas emissions
B .New Zealand’s greenhouse emissions and animal farming
C .New Zealand introducing a new tax to help the environment
D .New Zealand’s farmers joining in the fight against climate change
C
The world’s coral reefs do more for the planet than provide underwater beauty. They
试卷第 6 页,共 13 页
protect shorelines from the effects of hurricanes. An estimated 500 million people earn their
livelihood from the fishing stocks and tourism opportunities reefs provide. The tiny animals that give rise to reefs are even offering hope for new drugs to treat cancer and other diseases.
Despite their importance, warming waters, pollution, ocean acidification, overfishing, and
physical destruction are killing coral reefs around the world. So now scientists around the world
are looking for all kinds of ways to protect and maybe even revive(复苏) corals. In the Bahamas, Ross Cunning, a research biologist at Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium, is focusing on corals with genes that could make them natural candidates for restoration projects. He recently published a study of two Bahamian reefs, one that seemed to survive an intense 2015 heat wave, and one that didn’t.“It sets the stage to find out which genes are responsible for thermal tolerance,” says Cunning, adding that he hopes discovering those genes will help scientists one day breed more heat-tolerant coral.
In Massachusetts, Cohen’s research has found two key elements that seem to protect corals. The first: internal(内部的) waves beneath the ocean’s surface that bring cooler currents to
heat-struck corals, essentially air-conditioning them as temperatures rise. The second: adaptation, a quality that corals found in Palau’s warm lagoons(环礁湖) seem to display.On average, these
lagoons submerge(淹没) coral in water that is two degrees Celsius warmer than the water outside the lagoons. “We think the fact that they can deal with these higher temperatures is built into their genetics and allows them to deal with the heat waves.”
She’s also found evidence of corals evolving more quickly in the past two decades to
withstand rapidly warming temperatures. The big question scientists are now enquiring into, says Cohen, is whether there’s a cap on how much more heat corals can adapt to. Cohen calls these
regions with heat-adapted corals as “super reefs,” and like Friendlander, advocates for using marine reserves to protect them.
28 .What is the first paragraph mainly about
A .The protection for coral reefs
B .The great value of coral reefs.
C .The benefits for tourism from coral reefs.
D .The relationship between animals and coral reefs.
29 .What can be inferred from Cunning’s coral research
A .Cooling down the waters is the key to their success.

B .Some corals have been genetically improved successfully.
C .He expects to identify the genes of the heat-tolerant corals.
D .Some corals that survived 2015 heat wave surprised people.
30 .What is the focus of the study to save corals according to Cohen
A .How corals survive in the warm lagoons.
B .What are the key elements to protect corals.
C .How they can use natural reserves to protect corals.
D .What is the high temperature limit of the surviving corals.
31 .Which section is the text probably taken from
A .Science. B .Environment. C .Animal. D .Climate.
D
Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new
problems. One of the biggest is pollution. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.
Men have been polluting the earth. Many years ago, the pollution was not so serious
because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, men moved to another place.
Air pollution is now the most serious. Air makes people sick. And lots of people now are trying to use something to clear the air. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us become angry more easily.
Many countries are making rules to fight air pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air.
Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. It is true that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.
Although most of the pollution is caused by us, we are the ones who can change the
situation. The earth is our home. We must take care of it. And we must pay more attention to the information in pollution at the same time.
32 .Why was the pollution in the past less serious
A .Because life in the past was easier. B .Because there were not so many people.
试卷第 8 页,共 13 页
C .Because men stayed in one place. D .Because people used less coal to make fire.
33 .According to the passage, which kind of pollution is the most serious
A .Air pollution. B .Noise pollution.
C .Light pollution. D .Water pollution.
34 .What do many countries do to fight air pollution
A .Try to use something to clear the air. B .Ask people to use public transport more.
C .Stop putting dirty smoke into the air. D .Encourage people to move to another place.
35 .What is probably the purpose of this passage
A .To prove life is much easier today. B .To call on us to take care of our earth.
C .To show the danger of pollution. D .To introduce how to fight air pollution.

Tips for Green Travel With Kids
Travelling doesn’t mean letting go of all the eco-friendly choices we work so hard to
achieve in our daily life. Here are a few tips for green travel with kids: Booking nonstop flights
whenever possible will reduce carbon emissions (碳排放). If the closest local airport doesn’t have nonstop flights to a certain place, check with other local airports to see if nonstop flights are
available. 36
Whether you’re flying or driving, it’s easy when travelling to pull into fast food restaurants for snacks. 37 My kids love to help plan snacks. I let them create their own snacks for the trip at home.
38 At the airport, keep your reusable bottles empty until you have passed through the security checks (安检). Fill them up on the other side of the security checkpoint. Single-use plastic water bottles create unnecessary waste and the plastic can be harmful to your health.
39 Open a few windows and turn off the air conditioner (空调). You should also help your children keep their good and green habits from home to place while travelling.
Sometimes vacation can mean more than one shower each day-once in the morning and again after getting out of the pool. Pay attention to the number of showers and the length of showers.

E .Reusable water bottles are easy to bring along wherever you travel.
F .Save energy by turning off the hotel room lights when you head out for the day.
G .You might have to drive a bit further, but saving on carbon emissions makes it worthwhile.

On a hot September afternoon, Peter and his friend Isabel were on their way to the library. When they passed by Tubman park, Isabel suggested cutting through it to get to the library. As
they entered the park, the sight of the swings and the merry-go-round brought back a flood of
memories of their childhood spent there. But now everything looked so old, sad, and dirty. Litter
lay on the ground next to an overflowing trash bin. There were still young schoolchildren playing there but they had to avoid the trash that littered the playground. A little boy told them that the city took the other trash cans away and the remaining one never got emptied often.
As they headed toward the library, the two high school students wrinkled their forehead. In the library, they met Mrs. Evans, their kind-hearted fifth-grade teacher, retired yet still passionate. Mrs. Evans listened as Isabel and Peter eagerly explained what they’d seen. Finally, she
recommended them to go to the Go Green, a non-profit organization whose goal is to protect the
environment, for help. “This group is good at raising money for projects just like yours,” said Mrs. Evans. She promised to present their ideas to Go Green. Hearing this, their face lit up.
Two main tasks remained ahead: researching ways to clean up the park and preparing a
convincing speech. As Isabel was good at researching while Peter always had a talent for
speaking, they worked together quite well. Isabel learned from a science magazine that a new type of trash bin can squeeze the trash down without being emptied often, which saves time, money,
and energy. Based on this, Peter practiced his speech over and over again.

W: OK, and what about being green once you’re at school
M: Well, I realized that although all school paper was recycled and most of my friends used both sides of paper, we used huge quantities. And then it came to me that we should be sending in most of our work electronically. I’m going to recommend it to our teachers.
W: What about the school cafeteria
M: One school I’ve read about has meatless Mondays. It’s good to use local produce too. That’s something our school already does. But we still have machines with bottled milk, water and juice for sale. I think we shouldn’t have them.

【原文】
This summer I took part in a really interesting project. It’s called One-Day Clean-up and its aim is to clear the rubbish in the world’s natural environments. I heard about its work from my
neighbors who used to take part some years ago. I thought it would be fun and persuaded a couple of my cousins to come along with me. But it wouldn’t matter if you took part on your own. You’d soon make friends with other people there. Most of the people there were teenagers. We were a
very international group. Over half of the people there were from Australia, like me, but there
were also people from China, Thailand and the USA. Most teams were working on the south coast of the country, but mine was working on the east. We had to pick up all the rubbish that we could find at the seaside. It has all made me realize how important it is for everyone to be aware of the
environment. I’m determined now to get my family to recycle as much as possible. It’ll be worth it if we can make our seas safer for all those beautiful sea animals. So, if you’d like to join me in this project next year, it’ll be on January 11th. The focus on that day will be on getting rubbish out of rivers. There’ll be a day later in the year on cleaning up woodlands.

The excessive population growth are deepening the pressure on economy, employment,
resources and environment. Nowadays, the pollution of the Earth is more and more serious and
becoming one of the most serious problems of the world. The Earth's average temperature has
risen slightly in the last few decades. We know that the climate really changes because of global warming. And this can have a huge effect on life on the Earth. In the future, mankind will have no more room to grow, which will be a tragedy for mankind.
How can we protect our earth firstly, we should plant more tress and take measures to protect the environment. Secondly, we have to control population.
Yours,
Li Hua

67 .范文
A week later, Peter stood nervously at the back of the hall where Go Green was meeting. He could feel nothing but his hands shaking and heart pounding. “You’ll be great, Peter,” Isabel
encouraged him. Just then, Peter heard his name being announced. It was time to present! Peter
took a deep breath and then went on the stage. “Tubman Park needs a new kind of trash can,”
Peter explained, pointing to a poster of a trash can. Then Peter explained the working principle of the trash can in detail. The judges nodded as they listened, seeming interested in the project.
After the meeting, Isabel excitedly told Peter the good news. Go Green had agreed to buy the new trash cans for the park! Hearing the inspiring news, they both leaped into the air with joy.
Peter hardly had time to enjoy the moment before Isabel started sharing the news with Mrs. Evans and showing their gratitude to her. Learning of the result, Mrs. Evans smiled through watery eyes. “I know you can do it! Tubman Park is sure to become one that is clean and green again!” Never before had Peter and Isabel been so proud of themselves.
