三、阅读理解(共两节，共40 分)
第一节：阅读下面短文，从短文后每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。(每小题2 分，共30 分)
A
If your pencil box is broken, the batteries (电池) in your flashlights run out, or you have some leftover food, how will you deal with these things? You will probably throw them all into one rubbish bin. But actually, we need to sort (分类) all the rubbish separately. If you don’t sort your rubbish, all of it will go to a special place where it is buried (埋藏) together. As a result, it will take up some fields. Some rubbish will pollute the groundwater. Some rubbish that can be reused will be wasted.
In recent years, some Chinese cities have been working hard on rubbish sorting.
Shanghai has called on all the people living in this city to sort their rubbish into four groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry. Wet waste is known as household waste. They are things you don’t want but pigs can eat. Paper, metal, glass, plastic and other things that can be reused are recyclable waste. Harmful waste includes things like medicine, batteries. Finally, any waste that is not wet, recyclable or harmful will go to the “dry waste” bin.
Many other Chinese cities are also using this way to sort their rubbish. For example, Deyang has been sorting its rubbish into the same four groups since several years ago. Students in Deyang have already received waste-sorting guidebooks. They have studied these books and known how to sort the rubbish.
China is now improving its waste-sorting efforts. There is still a long way to go. But it’s never too late to learn how to sort your rubbish rightly. We should take an active part in it.
( ) 31. How many bad results will there be if all the rubbish is buried together?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
( ) 32. What does the underlined phrase “take up” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. 处理 B. 改变 C. 占用 D. 从事
( ) 33. Which of the following is harmful waste?
A. Metal. B. Paper. C. Medicine. D. Glass.
B
Is it possible to have a diet (日常饮食) that’s both healthy and friendly to our planet? Here are answers to your eco-friendly food questions.
Does what I eat influence climate (气候) change?
Yes. The world’s food system is responsible for (为……负责) about one quarter of the planet-warming greenhouse gases that humans produce each year. That includes raising and harvesting all the plants, animals, and animal products we eat, as well as processing, packaging, and shipping food to markets all over the world.
Which foods have the largest influence?
In general, beef and lamb have the biggest climate footprint per gram of protein while plant-based foods like beans, rice, corn and wheat have the smallest influence. Pork, chicken, eggs are somewhere in the middle.
Is there a simple food choice I can make?
Studies have shown that people who eat a meat-heavy diet can reduce their food-related footprint by one third or more by moving to a vegan diet — no meat, dairy (乳制品), or eggs. If you don’t want to go that far, just eat less meat.
Can I really make a difference to our planet?
We need more food to feed the world’s growing population. One person alone can make only a tiny difference. If many people make changes to their diets, that will start to add up. It will make a greater difference if the world’s heaviest meat eaters make some changes to their diets.
( ) 34. According to the passage, which foods have the smallest influence on our planet?
A. Beef and lamb. B. Rice and corn.
C. Chicken and pork. D. Beans and beef.
( ) 35. According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A. One person alone makes no difference to our planet.
B. Shipping food all over the world has no influence on climate change.
C. All the planet-warming greenhouse gases come from the food system.
D. Meat eaters can reduce their food-related footprint by eating less meat.
( ) 36. What is the best title for the passage?
A. How to produce more meat
B. How to make more plant-based foods
C. How to eat better for the planet
D. How to ask eco-friendly food questions
C
Everyone knows by now that plastic pollution is a huge problem for the environment. Beijing, for example, has dealt with this by banning (禁止) thin plastic bags, plastic tableware (餐具) and other plastic items in supermarkets, restaurants and hotels since May 1, 2020.
But an even better solution might be on the way. Researchers at a French company called Carbios have discovered a bacterial enzyme that can break down plastic. The enzyme, which was first found in compost (堆肥) leaves, turns plastic into chemical “building blocks” that can then be used to create new products, according to the Guardian.
The new enzyme was uncovered in research that was published in the journal Nature. Researchers studied over 100,000 microorganisms (微生物) to find one that could break down plastic quickly. The leaf compost enzyme was first discovered in 2012. Scientists changed its genes (基因), allowing it to break down 90 percent of one ton of plastic in less than 10 hours.
“It had been completely forgotten, but it turned out to be the best,” said Professor Alain Marty, chief science officer at Carbios. The enzyme especially breaks down PET, a type of plastic that is most commonly used to produce plastic bottles and food packaging. It is the fifth most common type of plastic that we use.
Carbios said it is working together with companies like Pepsi and Nestle — major consumers of plastic themselves— to develop their research and start using the enzyme on an industrial scale (范围), according to Forbes.
( ) 37. According to the passage, what is a huge problem for the environment?
A. Plastic bags. B. Plastic tableware.
C. Plastic bottles. D. Plastic pollution.
( ) 38. What does the underlined word “enzyme” in Paragraph 2 mostly probably stand for?
A. A type of plastic that we use.
B. A chief science officer at Carbios.
C. A French company called Carbios.
D. A thing that can break down plastic.
( ) 39. What can we know about the enzyme according to the passage?
A. It was used to create new things.
B. It was first found in compost leaves.
C. It was studied by the journal Nature.
D. It was never been forgotten by the scientists.
( ) 40. Why is Carbios working together with companies like Pepsi and Nestle?
A. To start using plastic. B. To make more money.
C. To sell bottles and food. D. To develop their research.
D
Several years ago, some developed countries shipped (用船运) broken parts of computers to China. Such a thing could be found almost every day although it was against international laws. Last month Hong Kong officers found 131,000 kilograms of broken computers, TVs and phones sent from Japan. Things like these are called electronic waste, or e-waste. Dealing with them is not an easy job because dangerous poisons (毒) like mercury (汞) and lead (铅) can be found in them. Every time an old computer breaks down, it needs to be dealt with safely. But at present, broken computer parts are usually buried. It may be hundreds of years before they are really gone in the earth.
Many places in China are polluted by e-waste. Guiyu in Guangdong Province is one of them. This town is named as “The e-waste capital of the world”. It has to deal with 1.5 million kilograms of e-waste each year, from which it makes 75 million yuan. But it comes at a cost. Many of the poisons in e-waste find their way into the environment. Plastic is burned outdoors and chemical water is poured into rivers. Greenpeace, an environmental group, has found the air, the earth and the rivers in Guiyu badly polluted. The Chinese government wants the country to develop, but in a way that doesn’t do harm to the environment or people’s life. Nowadays China has passed a new environmental protection law, the strictest one we have ever had. Computer companies like Lenovo and Dell will be asked to take back their old computers. This is because the companies that make computers know best how to deal with them safely. Hopefully, the problem with e-waste will be solved in the near future.
( ) 41. Where was the e-waste found in Hong Kong last month from?
A. France. B. Japan. C. Germany. D. Australia.
( ) 42. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “buried” probably in the passage?
A. Burned. B. Degraded. C. Recycled. D. Covered.
( ) 43. The town of Guiyu in Guangdong Province _______.
A. is the e-capital of the world B. has serious e-waste pollution
C. deals with the e-waste safely D. spends much money on e-waste
( ) 44. Nowadays, the Chinese government has _______.
A. tried to change people’s life
B. closed some computer companies
C. made a new environmental protection law
D. asked people to hand in their old computers
( ) 45. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. The ways to deal with e-waste. B. The cost of burning e-waste.
C. The e-waste problem in China.
D. The need to pass a law against e-waste.

六、范文：
How to Make Our Hometown More Beautiful
The clean water and green mountains are our treasures. But the environmental pollution is a bit serious these days. In order to make our hometown more beautiful, we students should do something to protect the environment.
First, we should turn off the lights to save electricity when we leave the room. Second, let’s walk or ride a bike to school. It is not only good for the environment but also good for our health. Third, we should also advise our parents to take the bus to work instead of driving a car. We should stop using plastic bags to reduce pollution. Fourth, we should try to sort the rubbish and throw it into the dustbin every day.
How important it is for us to protect the environment! Only if we know what to do in our daily life can we make a difference.
作文点评：这篇习作运用了“三步”法进行写作：交代目的→介绍具体行动→提出希望。文章第一段中以动词不定式短语in order to do sth. 作目的状语前置，提醒人们保护环境的重要性；第二段用First, Second, Third, Fourth 等表示顺序，使文章行文流畅，层次分明；最后一段中一个感叹句再次点题，表明了保护环境的重要性。一个复合句，呼吁人们保护环境人人有责。
添彩点：文中画线部分是文章的亮点。
