二、阅读理解
A
MORE
than
a
third
of
the
waste
paper
and
plastic
collected
by
British
supermarkets
and
businesses
for
recycling
is
being
sent
to
China
without
any
knowledge
of
the
environmental
or
social
costs,
the
British
newspaper
The
Guardian
reported
on
Sunday.
New
UK
government
figures
suggest
that
exports
to
China
are
running
at
200,000
tonnes
of
plastic
rubbish
and
500,000
tonnes
of
paper
and
cardboard
a
year
—
a
huge
increase
on
just
three
years
ago.
Much
of
the
plastic
sent
to
China
is
packaging,
but
agents
for
Chinese
companies
are
now
buying
up
and
exporting
unwashed
bottles,
containers
and
other
household
waste.
"I
would
say
that
Britain
is
dumping
its
rubbish
in
the
name
of
recycling.
It
is
not
responsible
recycling
that
is
being
done,"
said
Martin
Baker,
of
Greenpeace
China.
Baker
said
that
there
are
some
good
recycling
factories,
but,
on
the
whole,
it
is
small
scale,
done
in
backstreets
with
little
environmental
standards.
People
are
burning
plastic
and
sorting
it
by
hand
and
groundwater
gets
polluted
and
it
goes
back
into
the
rivers.

What
is
the
proportion
of
the
waste
paper
and
plastic
collected

supermarkets

(

the

of
this
passage
A.
Families

B
.Recycling

C
.Less
interesting
family
time
D.
less
parents
and
children
B
MANY
students
are
planning
field
trips
as
spring
draws
near.
Fourteen-year-old
Zhou
Liqun
is
busy
digging holes (洞)
along
rivers.
The
girl
and
her
"One
Piece
of
Paper
Team"
are
planting
trees
to
improve
the
environment.
They
collect
waste
paper
to
sell
for
trees
and
have
set
up websites (网站)
to
spread
the
message
of
connections
between
humans
and
nature.
"We
want
to
make
environmental
protection
everyone's
habit,"
says
the
girl.
"Even
a
piece
of
paper
matters."
Eager
to
join
Zhou
in
such
meaningful
work
Now
you
are
offered
advice
on
what
to
do.
Last
month,
measures
for
public participation (参与)
in
environmental
protection
were
published
by
the State
Environmental
Protection
Administration (SEPA,国家环保总局).
The
special
measures
are
expected
to
change
the
light
rain
of
the
past
into
a
storm
of
environmental
protection.
Last
year's
Songhua
River
pollution
acted
as
an alarm (警报)
to
Chinese
people.
According
to
sePA
officials,
environmental
pollution
has
become
serious,
and
will
continue
so
for
the
next
15
years.
A
recent
survey
showed
that
though
most
Chinese
people
care
about
environmental
problems,
they
don't
put
their
concerns
into
practice.
One
reason
is
that
they
don't
know
how.
So
the
newly
published
measures
present
information
about
how
to
report
environmental
problems
and
how
to
join
in
the
battle
against
pollution.
Actually
there
is
much
you
can
do
in
daily
life.
Buy
less
to
reduce
waste.
Don't
throw
away
things
before
you
have
made
the
most
use
of
them.
Use
electricity,
water
and
gas
only
when
necessary.
Switch
them
off
when
you
don't
need
them.
Everyone
can
participate
in
making
the
planet
suitable
for
future
generations.
Why
not

in

make
our
world
more

TOPIC:
Some
people
believe
that
human
activities
have
harmed
the
Earth,
while
others
think
they
have
made
the
Earth
a
better
place.
What
is
your
opinion
Shen
You
(Nanjing
Foreign
Language
School):
I
believe
this
issue
should
be
looked
at
from
both
sides.
First
of
all,
obviously,
human
activities
have
harmed
our
environment.
If
they
had
not,
why
would
we
be
facing
so
many
environmental
disasters
and
catastrophes
(大灾难)
today
Earthquakes,
sandstorms,
tsunamis
(海啸),
typhoons
(台风),
these
are
all
disasters
that
are
occurring
more
and
more
often.
Our
endless
extraction
(开采)
of
natural
resources,
our
careless
attitude
toward
environmental
protection,
these
are
all
factors
that
led
to
disasters.
Therefore,
we
human
beings
should
definitely
be
aware,
feel
responsible
(有责任的)
and
even
guilty
about
what
we
are
doing
However,
it
is
unwise
to
think
that
human
activities
have
only
harmed
the
environment
rather
than
benefited
it.
If
that
were
true,
we
would
all
be
living
on
Mars
by
now.
After
all,
it
is
a
planet
that
is
not
affected
by
any
human
activity.
I
believe
we
have
done
some
good
to
the
environment.
We
have
made
the
environment
a
suitable
planet
for
the
survival
of
numerous
(无数的)
animals,
insects
and
plants.
And
by
doing
that,
we
are
giving
the
world
hope.
However,
there
is
still
a
lot
more
we
can
do.
For
example,
we
can
lead
a
low-carbon
lifestyle.
I
think
by
doing
this
we
will
have
a
better
future,
and
definitely
make
the
world
a
better
place
to
live
in.
