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 learned that his favorite 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 neighborhood 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 organization 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.”

Liu Jichen,23,a student from Tsinghua University,has developed a WeChat mini-program called “Clear Your Plate”.After a meal,users can open the mini-program and take a picture of their empty plates.Once the image is recognized by the AI(Artificial Intelligence),students can collect points and use them to buy gifts or purchase charity meals to children in poor rural areas.

Liu and his team,together with other organizations,launched the “Clear Your Plate” campaign in November for the third year.It has swept over 1,017 universities across the country.The one-month campaign attracted almost 1.6 million participants and collectively reduced food waste by 862 tons and carbon emissions(碳排放) by 3,337 tons.

 “Technological innovation is a good way to reduce food waste,” Liu thought.He organized a team of 20 members to work on the project at the end of 2017.To solve the AI’s problem of identifying photos of empty plates,the team spent half a year collecting over 100,000 samples in canteens and restaurants.In 2018,the mini-program was officially put into operation on Oct 16,World Food Day.They then launched a campaign later that year.

“There were so many unknowns in research and development.For our team members,the biggest challenge was whether we were confident enough to complete it,” Liu said.They not only achieved their goal,but now,the mini-program has more than 5 million registered users,according to Liu.“We hope our efforts can start a new trend among the younger generation by encouraging them to cherish(珍惜) their food and develop the habit of thrift(节约),” Liu added.

Ⅳ.【语篇解读】文章主要讲述几名青少年为保护环境所做的努力。

1.D　词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的定语从句“which means that when their habitat is threatened,they show signs of illness earlier than other animals”可知,“指示物种”指的是能够通过自身状况去反映环境变化的物种,所以D项正确。

2.B　细节理解题。根据Aadya Joshi,16,from Mumbai,India部分的“...to educate people about growing native plants and maintaining healthy ecosystems.”可知,Aadya认为修复生态系统的适当方式是种植当地的植物。

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的发明其价值在于它能够以无污染的方式发电。

4.B　主旨大意题。通读全文内容可知,文章主要讲述几名青少年为保护环境所做的努力,所以B项“Kid Heroes for the Planet(保护地球的儿童英雄)”概括了文章主旨,适合作为文章标题。

【语篇解读】23岁的清华大学学生刘继臣开发了一个名为“清盘”的微信小程序,用技术创新来帮助减少食物浪费。

5.D　细节理解题。根据第一段中“...students can collect points and use them to buy gifts or purchase charity meals to children in poor rural areas.”可知,通过拍空盘子的照片到这个小程序,参与者可以获得积分,同时可以利用积分来购买礼物或购买捐赠给贫困农村地区儿童的慈善餐。所以这是不浪费食物而获得回报的一种交换。

6.B　细节理解题。根据最后一段中“For our team members,the biggest challenge was whether we were confident enough to complete it(对于我们的团队成员来说,最大的挑战是我们是否有足够的信心去完成它)”可知,对于是否能完成这个任务刘的团队是不确定的。

7.D　推理判断题。根据第一段第一句中的“has developed a WeChat mini-program called ‘Clear Your Plate’”可知,刘继臣是极具创造性的人;由倒数第二段中的“To solve the AI’s problem of identifying photos of empty plates,the team spent half a year collecting over 100,000 samples in canteens and restaurants.(为了解决人工智能识别空盘子照片的问题,研究小组花了半年时间,在食堂和餐馆收集了超过10万个样本。)”可知,刘和他的团队是意志坚定的。

8.B　推理判断题。根据第一段第一句“Liu Jichen,23,a student from Tsinghua University,has developed a WeChat mini-program called ‘Clear Your Plate’.”可知,本文主要讲述了23岁的刘继臣发明了“清盘”的微信小程序,所以本文最有可能是一篇新闻报道。

Ⅴ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了减少旅行费用的一些小贴士。

1.C　根据下文“it is not without its expenses and those expenses are capable of drilling a hole in one’s pocket if not properly planned out beforehand.”可知,此处与下文形成转折关系,故选C项。

2.A　根据下文“But did you know that there are so many websites,like Traveligo,which specialize in finding cheap flights for travelers?”可知,此处是本段的小标题,内容与节省机票钱有关,选项A “Save on airfare(节省机票钱)”符合题意。

3.F　根据上文“Depending on where you’re living and where you’re headed,you can always select public transport.”可知,此处内容与选择合适的交通工具有关,选项F“所以,研究一下什么是可用的,然后根据你的预算选择最好的选择”符合题意。

4.E　根据本段小标题“Don’t use hotels.”和下文“travelers have the opportunity to not only live like locals but also spend far less”可知,此处内容与住当地人的家里可能比住酒店花费少有关,选项E“住在别人家里可能比预订酒店便宜”符合题意。

5.D　根据上文“When you apply for these cards,you can control opportunities like signing-up bonuses,...”可知,此处内容与红利积分的用处有关,选项D“这些额外的红利积分可以帮助你增加很多里程”符合题意。
