The
world
celebrates
Earth
Day
every
year
on
April
22.
But
one
school
in
Potomac,
Maryland
tries
to
celebrate
Earth
Day
every
day.
Very
young
children
are
learning
about
the
environment
and
taking
action
to
show
their
love
for
the
Earth.
A
child’s
world
is
the
world
of
playing.
They
love
being
outside
in
the
open
air,
running,
sliding
and
swinging
on
playground
equipment.
But
children
at
St.
James
Children’s
School
also
add
to
that
fun
by
picking
up
rubbish
in
the
school.
Inside,
they
learn
to
save
water
and
electricity.
They
also
recycle
and
reuse
things.
And
every
spring
they
get
the
soil
ready
to
plant
flowers
and
vegetables
in
the
school
garden.
The
children
at
St.
James
range
from
six
weeks
to
six
years
old.
The
environmental
study
begins
at
age
two.
Rebecca
Boker
teaches
the
children
the
importance
of
taking
care
of
the
Earth.
Boker
says
every
day
at
St.
James
is
Earth
Day.
She
points
to
books
in
all
the
classrooms
and
in
the
library.
Most
contain
materials
that
urge
children
to
do
something
to
help
the
environment
and
protect
the
Earth.
St.
James’s
children
observe
the
growth
of
plants
from
seeds
to
sprouts
(苗;
芽)
in
cups
kept
in
the
classroom.
Then
they
watch
the
plants
continue
to
grow
after
placing
them
in
the
garden.
The
students
also
observe
the
lifecycle
of
some
insects.
After
that,
they
know
it
is
their
job
to
respect
their
home
just
like
they
want
others
to
respect
theirs.
But
do
these
very
young
children
really
get
the
message
that
their
teachers
try
to
communicate?
Ms
Boker
says
yes.
On
April
22
the
kids
at
St.
James
will
go
out
to
the
school’s
garden
for
the
yearly
clean-up.
But
for
them,
Earth
Day
will
continue
for
the
school
days
ahead
as
well.

阅读填句
根据短文内容,
从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,
选项中有两项为多余选项。
It’s
important
to
learn
how
we
can
protect
the
environment.
Here
are
5R
rules
for
us.
Reduce.
If
you
want
to
reduce
waste,
you
should
use
things
more
wisely.
1
If
everyone
uses
paper
carelessly,
soon
we
would
not
have
any
trees
left.
Other
things
are
also
being
wasted,
and
people
don’t
know
what
to
do
with
the
waste
in
big
cities.
So
it
is
necessary
to
reduce
the
amount
of
waste
we
produce.
?
Reuse.
You
should
always
think
of
reusing
things
before
throwing
them
out.
For
example,
2 In
a
family,
you
may
pass
on
such
clothes
to
younger
brothers
or
sisters.
?
Recycle.
Bottles,
cans
and
paper
can
easily
be
recycled.
By
doing
so,
we
can
save
lots
of
time
and
money.
For
example,
3 The
metal
can
be
used
to
make
new
Coke
cans.
?
Recover.
4 You
have
two
choices:
one
is
to
throw
the
apples
away,
the
second
is
to
throw
the
rotten
ones
and
keep
the
good
ones.
In
this
way,
you
are
recovering
the
eatable
parts
of
food.
?
Repair.
If
one
of
the
legs
of
your
table
is
broken,
you
should
repair
it.
If
you
want
to
buy
something
newer
and
better,
it
is
better
for
you
to
sell
the
old
table,
or
5
?
Learn
the
rules
to
protect
our
environment.
Let’s
try
our
best
to
make
the
earth
cleaner
and
more
beautiful.
A.
give
the
clothes
you
do
not
use
or
the
ones
which
are
too
small
to
the
poor.
B.
Coke
cans
are
sent
to
a
factory,
where
they
are
smashed
flat
and
melted.
C.
A
large
number
of
trees
are
being
cut
down
to
make
paper.
D.
Trees
are
planted
every
year.
E.
give
it
to
people
who
can
use
it
after
repairing
it.
F.
don’t
throw
it
away
if
you
can
use
it.
G.
When
you
buy
a
box
of
apples,
there
may
be
a
few
rotten
ones.
【语篇概述】本文讲述了保护环境的5R规则。
1.
【解析】选C。根据下文we
would
not
have
any
trees
left.
可知此处是指现在有大量的树正在被砍伐。
2.
【解析】选A。小标题Reuse意为“重复使用”。A项“把不穿的衣服或太小不能穿的衣服送给贫困的人穿。”符合此意。
3.
【解析】选B。根据下一句The
metal
can
be
used
to
make
new
Coke
cans.
可知此处是指把可乐瓶送回到工厂进行粉碎融化,
符合本段Recycle的主旨大意。
4.
【解析】选G。根据下文You
have
two
choices:
one
is
to
throw
the
apples
away,
the
second
is
to
throw
the
rotten
ones
and
keep
the
good
ones.
可知此处用G项来承接下句。意思是“买了一箱苹果,
里面有几个烂苹果”。
5.
【解析】选E。根据本段段意“东西坏了,
应该修理;
修理好之后要么卖了,
要么送给别人。”可知E项符合段意。

1.
【解析】to。考查固定搭配。be
home
to意为“是……的栖息地,
是……的家园”。
2.
【解析】responsibility。考查词性转换。根据空前的定冠词the可知此处应填一个名词,
responsibility意为“责任,
职责”。
3.
【解析】how。考查关系副词。分析句子结构可知,
空处引导的从句作wondered的宾语,
且表示方式,
所以用how引导该从句。句意:
我想知道我如何能把我的才能发挥好。
4.
【解析】inspired。考查动词时态。
根据空后的时间状语“at
age
8”可知,
此处描述的是过去发生的事情,
应用一般过去时。
5.
【解析】trying。考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,
organizations与try之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,
故此处应用现在分词形式作后置定语。
6.
【解析】invited。考查非谓语动词。此处是get
done“被……”的结构,
故用过去分词。
7.
【解析】is。考查主谓一致。that引导定语从句并在从句中作主语,
指代something
else,
所以从句谓语动词用单数形式。此外,
这里表示客观的情况,
应用一般现在时。
8.
【解析】a。考查冠词。contribution是可数名词。此处用不定冠词表示泛指。
9.
【解析】Actually。考查副词。空格处作状语修饰整个句子,
所以用副词。Actually意为“事实上”。
10.
【解析】tiniest。考查形容词最高级。根据空前的The可知此处填tiny的最高级与下文的the
greatest形成比较。

With
their
pipes
and
lids
to
avoid
spills,
coffee
cups
have
long
been
the
substitute
for
adults.
Now
Starbucks
is
going
all
in
on
the
concept
by
swearing
to
get
rid
of
straws
by
2020—and
it’s
all
for
a
very
good
reason.
This
move
is
an
answer
to
our
own
partners
about
what
we
can
do
to
reduce
the
need
for
straws.
Not
using
a
straw
is
the
best
thing
we
can
do
for
the
environment.
In
place
of
plastic
straws,
Starbucks
plans
to
offer
recyclable
lids
for
all
iced
drinks
and
paper
straws
for
coffee.
The
transition
is
already
taking
place
in
Starbucks’
hometown
of
Seattle,
where
a
ban
on
plastic
straws
went
into
place
on
July
1.
By
rolling
this
out
in
all
28,
000
of
their
stores
by
2020,
the
company
says
they
are
annually
removing
more
than
one
billion
straws
from
going
into
circulation—and
potentially
the
ocean.
Starbucks’
decision
to
gradually
stop
using
single-use
plastic
straws
is
a
shining
example
of
the
important
role
that
companies
can
play
in
stopping
the
tide
of
ocean
plastic.
With
eight
million
metric
tons
of
plastic
entering
the
ocean
every
year,
we
cannot
afford
to
let
industry
sit
on
the
sidelines.
Marine
life
has
a
50%
death
rate
when
it
swallows
plastic—yet
researchers
believe
there
will
be
more
plastic
in
the
ocean
than
fish
by
the
year
2050
if
this
rate
of
litter
continues.
That
means
there
can
be
an
immediate
positive
impact
if
we
swap
plastic
straws
for
environmentally
friendly
alternatives.
The
smart
design
on
the
cup
for
cold
drinks
comes
from
Starbucks’
in-house
team
of
designers
and
has
been
in
development
for
two
years.
However,
the
announcement
comes
as
outcry
(尖叫;
倒彩)
increases
over
the
dangers
that
plastic
straws
can
cause
to
marine
life.
Other
companies
making
the
eco-friendly
swap
also
announced
plans
last
month
to
test
alternatives
to
plastic
straws.

In
an
attempt
to
handle
the
nation’s
food
wastage
problem,
Denmark
has
opened
the
world’s
very
first
supermarket—WeFood,
which
sells
products
that
are
damaged
or
soon
expired.
Ever
since
the
grand
opening
in
Copenhagen
last
Monday,
people
have
been
lining
up
outside
WeFood
for
a
chance
to
purchase
discounted
items
that
would
otherwise
have
ended
up
in
the
rubbish
bin
because
of
damaged
packaging
or
very
short
use
by
date.
The
items
at
WeFood
are
priced
at
least
30
to
50
percent
lower
than
at
regular
stores.
“WeFood
is
the
first
supermarket
of
its
kind
in
Denmark
and
perhaps
the
world,
as
it
is
not
just
aimed
at
low-income
shoppers
but
anyone
who
is
concerned
about
the
amount
of
food
wastage
produced
in
the
country,
”
said
project
head
Per
Bjerre.
“Many
people
see
this
as
a
positive
and
politically
correct
way
to
deal
with
the
problem.
”
While
Denmark
alone
is
expected
to
waste
about
700,
000
tons
of
food
every
year,
the
United
Nations
has
stated
that
globally,
food
wastage
amounts
to
1.
3
billion
tons.
These
are
shocking
figures,
considering
the
fact
that
about
795
million
people
in
the
world
are
still
starving.
Denmark,
however,
has
adopted
several
measures
to
clean
up
its
act,
wasting
25%
less
food
than
it
did
five
years
ago.
One
such
active
move
is
founding
the
Food
Bank,
a
local
nonprofit
that
distributes
extra
food
to
homeless
shelters.
The
WeFood
project
is
a
cooperation
between
the
Food
Bank
and
a
religious
charity
Dan
Church
Aid.
The
WeFood
and
other
similar
projects
have
raised
nearly
$150,
000
over
the
past
year.
The
store
is
now
run
mainly
by
volunteers.
Profits
are
used
to
support
Dan
Church
Aid’s
other
projects
in
developing
nations
like
South
Sudan.
Provided
WeFood
remains
popular
in
the
long
term
and
if
it
is
able
to
keep
up
its
food
deliveries,
Dan
Church
Aid
plans
to
open
more
branches
across
Denmark.

阅读填句
根据短文内容,
从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,
选项中有两项为多余选项。
Every
minute,
every
single
day,
about
a
truckload
of
plastic
enters
our
oceans.
1.
__________
And
to
date,
only
9%
of
that
has
been
recycled.
?
We
buy
a
bottle
of
water,
drink
it
for
a
few
minutes,
and
toss
its
permanent
packaging
“away”.
We
eat
potato
chips,
finish
them,
then
throw
their
permanent
packaging
“away”.
We
buy
produce,
take
it
out
of
the
unnecessary
plastic
wrap,
then
throw
its
permanent
packaging
“away”.
The
cycle
is
endless,
and
it
happens
countless
times
every
single
day.
2.
__________
As
far
as
we
try
to
toss
a
piece
of
plastic—whether
it’s
into
a
recycling
bin
or
not—it
does
not
disappear.
Chances
are,
it
ends
up
polluting
our
communities,
oceans
or
waterways
in
some
form.
?
For
years,
we’ve
been
told
the
problem
of
plastic
packaging
can
be
solved
through
individual
action.
3.
__________
But
the
truth
is
that
we
cannot
recycle
our
way
out
of
this
mess.
?
Recycling
alone
will
never
stop
the
flow
of
plastics
into
our
oceans;
we
have
to
get
to
the
source
of
the
problem
and
slow
down
the
production
of
all
this
plastic
waste.
Think
about
it:
if
your
home
was
flooding
because
you
had
left
the
tap
on,
your
first
step
wouldn’t
be
to
start
mopping.
You’d
first
cut
the
flooding
off
at
its
source—the
tap.
4.
________
We
need
corporations—those
like
Coca-Cola,
Unilever,
Starbucks
and
Nestlé
that
continue
to
produce
throwaway
plastic
bottles—to
step
up
and
take
their
responsibility
for
the
mess
they’ve
created.
5.
__________.
We
will
continue
to
do
our
part,
but
it’s
time
for
the
world’s
largest
corporations
to
do
theirs.
?
A.
This
is
their
problem
to
deal
with.
B.
Plastic
pollution
is
becoming
very
serious.
C.
But
here
is
the
problem—there
is
no
“away”.
D.
In
many
ways,
our
plastic
problem
is
no
difference.
E.
We
think
that
if
we
simply
recycle
we’re
doing
our
part.
F.
It’s
impossible
for
us
to
get
rid
of
plastic
pollution
completely.
G.
Since
the
1950s,
some
8.
3
billion
tons
of
plastic
have
been
produced
worldwide.
【语篇概述】本文是一篇说明文。塑料污染正严重破坏着我们的环境。作者认为,
除了我们个人要养成环保习惯外,
那些制造塑料垃圾的大公司应该负起主要责任。
1.
【解析】选G。下句And
to
date,
only
9%of
that
has
been
recycled.
中的only
9%
of
that暗示上文提到了塑料的数量,
因此G项正确。
2.
【解析】选C。上段出现了三次“away”,
与C项中的there
is
no
“away”相呼应。
3.
【解析】选E。下句But
the
truth
is
that
we
cannot
recycle
our
way
out
of
this
mess.
指出仅仅靠个人循环利用塑料制品是不够的,
与E项中的“if
we
simply
recycle
we’re
doing
our
part”相呼应。
4.
【解析】选D。上文You’d
first
cut
the
flooding
off
at
its
source—the
tap.
作者通过房子水龙头漏水一例,
来说明解决问题应该抓住源头。当然,
解决塑料污染也是一样的道理,
故D项正确。
5.
【解析】选A。上下文作者都在呼吁企业承担自己应有的责任来解决塑料污染问题,
因此A项符合语境。

阅读理解
A
In
the
movie,
The
Day
After
Tomorrow,
many
climate
changes
including
an
ice
age
are
caused
by
global
warming.
Much
of
the
science
in
the
movie
has
been
questioned
by
people.
However,
there
may
be
some
truth
to
the
idea
in
the
movie
that
global
warming
could
cause
an
ice
age.
The
theory
starts
with
an
understanding
of
why
Europe
and
Scandinavia
are
not
colder
already.
After
all,
other
places
at
the
same
latitude(纬度)
are
covered
with
ice.
The
ocean
current
called
the
Gulf
Stream
brings
warm
waters
from
the
Caribbean
to
the
UK
and
Europe.
These
waters
warm
the
countries
around
their
path.
This
is
why
the
UK,
Europe
and
Scandinavia
have
a
warmer
climate
than
Alaska.
Global
warming
has
nothing
to
do
with
this.
Global
warming
is
significant.
It
could
slow
the
Gulf
Stream,
or
even
stop
it.
If
this
were
to
happen,
the
cold
waters
would
stay
in
the
area
of
Europe,
the
UK,
Scandinavia
and
the
Northeastern
US.
It
could
mean
an
ice
age
for
those
regions.
Some
weaknesses
in
the
Gulf
Stream
could
happen
for
different
reasons.
These
days,
it
could
happen
due
to
global
warming,
caused
by
human
activities,
such
as
the
burning
of
fossil
fuels.
If
a
new
ice
age
happened,
it
would
probably
be
caused
by
the
melting
of
the
polar
ice.
This
will
lead
large
quantities
of
cold
and
fresh
water
to
come
into
the
ocean,
which
would
disrupt
the
Gulf
Stream
and
cause
the
cooling
of
many
areas
that
now
have
a
mild
climate.
Scientists
have
gathered
a
lot
of
data
from
the
oceans
and
the
land
to
try
to
determine
whether
an
ice
age
could
be
caused
by
global
warming.
With
all
this
information
at
hand,
it
appears
that
it
is
indeed
possible
that
global
warming
could
lead
to
an
ice
age.
【语篇概述】本文以一部电影引入话题,

fossil
fuels
can
cause
global
warming.
D.
The

【解析】选A。写作意图题。通过文章内容可知,
本文分析了全球变暖现象可能导致的可怕后果,
是为了给人们提出警告。故选A项。
B
Not
only
does
the
use
of
plastic
water
bottles
hurt
your
wallet,
it
also
increases
pollution
and
wastes
energy
and
water.
Only
23%
of
all
plastic
in
America
ends
up
in
a
recycling
bin,
meaning
over
$1
billion
worth
of
plastic
is
treated
as
rubbish
a
year.
Recently,
Skipping
Rocks
Lab
has
invented
a
kind
of
water
bottle
called
Ooho.
It
is
a
convenient,
clear
water
bottle
that
can
either
be
drunk
or
eaten.
To
drink
it,
you
can
either
peel
off
the
membrane(薄膜)
or
tear
a
hole
in
the
membrane
with
your
teeth
to
pour
the
water
into
your
mouth.
To
eat
it,
you
simply
put
the
whole
bottle
in
your
mouth.
One
problem
the
scientists
have
run
into
is
how
to
ship
large
amounts
of
Ooho
bubbles(水泡)
without
arriving
with
a
very
wet
truck.
However,
they
have
attempted
to
package
units
of
individual
bubbles
together
inside
a
larger
and
thicker
membrane.
It
is
targeting
large
outdoor
events,
such
as
marathons,
music
festivals,
and
sporting
events,
where
tons
of
plastic
bottles
are
used,
and
frequently
left
behind
as
litter.
And
too
much
plastic
is
sure
to
do
harm
to
the
environment,
which
could
account
for
their
purpose
of
such
a
new
invention.
The
team
has
been
working
for
the
past
two
years
to
develop
the
technology
and
materials
needed
to
produce
Ooho;
they
have
recently
applied
a
patent(专利)for
their
new
advancements.
The
price
for
an
individual
bubble
or
a
unit
of
bubbles
has
not
been
set
yet,
but
they
cost
about
two
cents
to
create
a
unit,
which
is
cheaper
than
plastic
bottles.
It
has
appeared
at
events
in
London,
San
Francisco,
Boston,
at
conferences,
festivals,
and
so
on.
Ooho
is
catching
many
people’s
attention
and
has
raised
over
$1
million
and
gained
1,
000
investors
in
only
three
days.
It
is
mostly
being
sold
at
events
at
the
moment
to
keep
the
consumer’s
interest
while
the
production
machine
is
getting
up
and
running.
It
is
quickly
making
a
rise,
so
keep
an
eye
out
this
year
for
these
bottles
of
the
future.

A.
It
is
easy
and
safe
to
ship
it
in
large
amounts.
B.
It
has
become
popular
since
it
began
to
be
sold.
C.
It
might
be
sold
at
a
lower
price
than
plastic
bottles.
D.
It
costs
them
a
lot
of
money
to
develop
the
technology.
【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据第三段but
they
cost
about
two
cents
to
create
a
unit,
which
is
cheaper
than
plastic
bottles可知制造储水容器Ooho的成本比塑料瓶低得多,
因此可以推断出其市场售价可能会比塑料瓶低。故选C。

(2020·桂林高二检测)
A
rainforest
is
an
area
covered
by
tall
trees
with
the
total
high
rainfall
spreading
quite
equally
through
the
year
and
the
temperature
rarely
dipping
below
16℃.
Rainforests
have
a
great
effect
on
the
world
environment
because
they
can
take
in
heat
from
the
sun
and
adjust
the
climate.
Without
the
forest
cover,
these
areas
would
reflect
more
heat
into
the
atmosphere,
warming
the
rest
of
the
world.
Losing
the
rainforests
may
also
influence
wind
and
rainfall
patterns,
potentially
causing
certain
natural
disasters
all
over
the
world.
In
the
past
hundred
years,
humans
have
begun
destroying
rainforests
in
search
of
three
major
resources:
land
for
crops,
wood
for
paper
and
other
products,
land
for
raising
farm
animals.
This
action
affects
the
environment
as
a
whole.
For
example,
a
lot
of
carbon
dioxide
in
the
air
comes
from
burning
the
rainforests.
People
obviously
have
a
need
for
the
resources
we
gain
from
cutting
trees
but
we
will
suffer
much
more
than
we
will
benefit.
There
are
two
main
reasons
for
this.
Firstly,
when
people
cut
down
trees,
generally
they
can
only
use
the
land
for
a
year
or
two.
Secondly,
cutting
large
sections
of
rainforests
may
provide
a
good
supply
of
wood
right
now,
but
in
the
long
run
it
actually
reduces
the
world’s
wood
supply.
Rainforests
are
often
called
the
world’s
drug
store.
More
than
25%
of
the
medicines
we
use
today
come
from
plants
in
rainforests.
However,
fewer
than
1%
of
rainforest
plants
have
been
examined
for
their
medical
value.
It
is
extremely
likely
that
our
best
chance
to
cure
diseases
lies
somewhere
in
the
world’s
shrinking(萎缩的)
rainforests.

B
(2020·宜宾高二检测)
Scientists
think
they
have
answered
a
mystery:
How
some
ocean
creatures
got
so
huge
so
quickly.
A
few
million
years
ago,
the
largest
whales
averaged
about
15
feet
long.
Then
seemingly
overnight,
one
type
of
whale,
the
toothless
baleen
whale(须鲸)
became
huge.
Modern
blue
whales
get
as
big
as
100
feet.
Nicholas
Pyenson
of
the
Smithsonian
Natural
History
Museum
said,
“Why
is
that?
”
“It
happened
in
the
glance
of
an
evolutionary
eye,
which
makes
it
harder
to
figure
out
what
happened,
”
said
Graham
Slater,
lead
author
of
the
study.
Their
study
has
suggested
an
answer:
Ice
ages
in
the
last
3
to
5
million
years
started
it,
changing
the
oceans
and
food
supply
for
whales.
?
The
researchers
used
fossil
records
of
the
smaller
whales
to
create
a
family
tree
for
baleen
whales,
which
include
blue
whales,
humpbacks
and
right
whales.
Using
computer
simulations(模拟)
and
knowledge
about
how
evolution
works,
they
concluded
that
when
the
size
changes
started,
the
poles
got
colder,
ice
expanded
and
the
water
circulation
in
the
oceans
changed
and
winds
shifted.
Slater
and
Pyenson
said
cold
water
went
deep
and
moved
closer
to
the
equator(赤道)
and
then
eventually
moved
back
up
with
small
fish
and
other
small
animals
that
whales
eat.
Baleen
whales
which
have
no
teeth
feed
by
eating
huge
amounts
of
fish
they
capture.
Toothed
whales,
like
sperm
whales(抹香鲸),
hunt
individual
fish,
so
the
ocean
changes
that
made
food
less
evenly
spread
out
didn’t
affect
them
as
much.
But
baleen
whales
hunt
schools
of
fish.
Olivier
Lambert
at
the
Royal
Belgian
Institute
of
Natural
Sciences
calls
it
“a
really
convincing
situation”.
But
he
said
the
lack
of
fossils
in
certain
time
periods
is
an
issue.
As
oceans
warm
from
man-made
climate
change,
the
seas
will
be
more
like
it
was
when
the
whales
were
smaller
and
they
will
have
a
more
difficult
time
surviving.

A.
The
change
of
baleen
whales
happened
too
quickly.
B.

whales.
D.
Researchers
thought
the
change
of
baleen
whales
was
unimportant.

from
the
last
paragraph?
A.
There
are
no
whale
fossils
now.
B.

are
products
that
can
be
bought
as

Recently
my

have
made
a
survey
about
the
reasons
for
environmental
pollution.
There
are
three
main
reasons
for
the
pollution.
First
of
all,
more
and
more
people
buy
cars,
which
give
off
a
great
deal
of
waste
gas.
Second,
a
lot
of
fuel
like
coal,
petrol
and
natural
gas
is
consumed
in
factories,
which
produces
too
much
carbon
dioxide.
In
addition,
large
quantities
of
resources
including
water
and
electricity
are
overused
by
humans.
Immediate
action
should
be
taken
now.
We
should
turn
off
the
lights
when
leaving
the
rooms,
turn
off
the
tap
in
time
and
use
things
that
can
be
recycled.
We’d
better
walk
or
cycle
instead
of
driving
a
car.
What
we
do
every
day
will
surely
make
a
difference
to
our
environment.
阅读理解
We’re
often
reminded
of
the
importance
of
preserving
the
planet
as
we
see
it
for
future
generations—and
children
at
St
Oswald’s
CE
Primary
School
Chester
certainly
agree.
Nine-year-old
Isobel
Kelleher
from
the
school’s
Hummingbirds
class
thinks
adults
need
to
take
note.
“Sometimes
they
can
be
busy
and
I
don’t
think
they
think
they
can
make
a
difference,
but
if
everyone
does
a
little
bit
it
all
adds
up,
”
she
tells
HuffPost
UK.
“We
started
looking
at
plastic
pollution
in
our
oceans
and
the
things
like
plastic
bags
that
are
polluting
them,
”
she
says.
“Fish
can
eat
the
plastic
and
they
can
die,
or
we
might
even
eat
the
fish
ourselves.
”
Mr
Timms,
Isobel’s
teacher,
has
been
spearheading
a
new
project
at
the
school
which
lets
children
loose
creatively
to
raise
awareness
of
the
need
to
be
more
environmentally
friendly.
The
entire
Hummingbirds
class,
which
is
made
up
of
9-and
10-year-old
pupils,
has
been
busy
writing
poems
and
creating
online
video
adverts
to
warn
adults
about
the
serious
situation
of
our
oceans
and
wildlife.
Mr
Timms
thinks
children
have
an
important
role
to
play
in
teaching
us
how
to
take
care
of
the
things
around
us.
“We
sometimes
overlook
how
much
we
can
really
learn
from
children,
”
he
says.
“It
has
been
really
hard
to
believe
having
parents
come
in
saying
that
their
children
have
been
asking
them
to
stop
using
plastic,
and
to
recycle
more,
and
even
stopping
them
using
plastic
straws.

it.
