A

Young students can, and do, make a big difference. As an educator, you have the opportunity to spark (触发) a passion in students that will drive them to do their part to take care of the Earth. Here are activities you could add to your lesson plans to inspire your students on Earth Day:

Make signs for school and at home

Sometimes we just need a little reminder to help us change our habits. Have students

think about what they can do at school and at home to help the environment and how they can encourage others to change their habits.

Make a video or presentation urging others to take action

Students can make a bigger impact if they influence others to do their part to protect the environment. Putting together a video or presentation also helps them internalize the material itself — they need to understand it before they can explain it to others. Presentations can be given in the classroom or even to the whole school. Eventually, they may be able to present their lessons and research at a local conference.

Show them examples of other students making a real difference

It's important for students to see examples of young environmentalists so they know they don't need to wait until they're older to make a difference. Learning about the work these young people are doing can give your students new ideas for how to protect the environment. It can open the door of possibilities for how to think about finding solutions to problems they can help solve.

Earth Day isn't just on April 22. It's every day. How will you celebrate Earth Day and

help students make a difference year-round?

21．Who is the text written for?

A．Teachers. B．Students.

C．Environmentalists. D．Parents.

22．What can we do to remind people to take action?

A．Make signs.

B．Make lesson plans.

C．Make a video or presentation.

D．Show other students' examples.

23．Why is it important for students to learn about young environmentalists?

A．It helps make friends.

B．It improves learning results.

C．It guarantees success.

D．It inspires immediate action.

B

The Amazing Penguin Rescue

In the summer of 2016, the ship MV Treasure sunk, creating an oil spill. Thirteen hundred tons of fuel oil were flowing right in the middle of the African Penguins’ habitat. Soon the oil covered about 20,000 penguins. Without swift help, the seabirds would have no chance of survival. Volunteers were showing up by the thousands and I also took part in what was the largest animal rescue operation ever.

A warehouse was turned into a rescue center near the habitat and hundreds of pools were

built to hold about 100 oiled birds each. When walking into the center, I couldn’t believe my ears. I had expected to walk into a chorus of honking and squawking(尖声叫). Instead, the center sounded like a library. The penguins were dead silent. My heart ached for the painful birds. Cleaning them all seemed like an impossible task. But we had to carry on like doctors in an emergency room. There was no time for doubt. Cleaning oil off a penguin wasn’t easy. Even with more than 12,500 volunteers, it took a month to bathe all 20,000 birds at the center.

While volunteers were busy bathing the oiled penguins, another crisis(危机) was

developing. Oil from the spill had started moving north. Tens of thousands of penguins were in the oil’s path. But we already had our hands full with 20,000 recovering birds. If any more birds were oiled, we wouldn’t have enough resources to save them.

One researcher came up with an idea: What if the penguins were temporarily moved out

of harm’s way? Experts decided to have a try. Volunteers rounded up the penguins and released them 500 miles away. The hope was that by the time the seabirds swam home, the oil would be gone. The plan worked! Another 20,000 penguins were saved.

The entire penguin rescue took about three months. More than 90% of the oiled

penguins were successfully returned to the wild. Looking back on the rescue, I am still amazed by the work of the volunteers. What I could hardly believe was that we accomplished an impossible task.

24．The African penguins were in danger because of ________.

A．a knock by a ship B．a change of habitats

C．a spill of oil D．a lack of help

25．When walking into the rescue center, the author felt ________.

A．ambitious B．shocked C．hopeless D．inspired

26．The crisis was ended by ________.

A．moving the penguins from home

B．cleaning the polluted habitat

C．asking more volunteers to help

D．stopping the flow of the oil

27．The author mainly intends to tell us that ________.

A．we should unite to make the earth pollution-free

B．many hands make great work

C．the future of wildlife is in our hands

D．where there is a will there is a way

C

The way we cook is important. In many countries, the two sources of heat used for

cooking are natural gas or electric stoves. The World Health Organization(WHO) warns that millions of people are dying every year from indoor air pollution. The WHO finds that poor cooking, heating and lighting technologies are killing millions of people each year.

Indoor air pollution results from the use of dangerous fuels and cook stoves in the home.

WHO officials say nearly three billion people are unable to use clean fuels and technologies for cooking, heating and lighting. And they say more than seven million people die from exposure to indoor or outdoor air pollution each year. Of that number, the WHO says about

4.3 million people die from household air pollution given off by simple biomass(生物燃料）

and coal stoves.

These findings show that the home use of poisonous fuels is to blame for many of these deaths. These fuels include wood, coal, animal waste and so on. Carlos Dora is Coordinator in the WHO’ s Department of Public Health, Environmental and Social Determinants of Health. He says people should not use unprocessed coal and kerosene(煤油）fuel indoors. He says opening a window or door to let out the harmful air will not correct the situation. It will only pollute the outdoors. “New technologies and clean fuels can rid people of this problem.”

The United Nations found that more than 95 percent of families in sub-Saharan Africa depend on solid fuels for cooking. It says huge populations in India, China and Latin American countries, such as Guatemala and Peru, are also at risk.

Nigel Bruce is a professor of Public Health at the University of Liverpool. He says

researchers are developing good stoves and other equipment to burn fuels in a more efficient way.“There are already many technologies for clean fuels available now. An effective and reasonably low-cost ethanol(酒精）stove that is made by Dometic (a Sweden-based company)is now being tested out. Another interesting development is electric induction stoves.” In India, you can buy an induction stove for about $8. And in Africa you can buy a solar lamp for less than $1.

28．How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?

A．By making classifications.

B．By listing numbers.

C．By following time order.

D．By describing a process.

29．According to Carlos Dora, what is the best solution to indoor air pollution?

A．People should use an effective air cleaner.

B．People should use new technologies and clean fuels.

C．People should open a window or door to let out the harmful air.

D．People should prevent themselves from being exposed to harmful air..

30．What can we learn from the passage?

A．People can buy ethanol stoves made by Dometic in India.

B．Burning solid fuels can help limit indoor air pollution .

C．Most of the deaths from indoor pollution are in developing countries.

D．There are already two technologies for clean fuels available for use.

31．Which would be the best title for the passage?

A．The way we cook is changing.

B．Cause of indoor air pollution.

C．The development of electric stoves.

D．Indoor air pollution kills millions each year.

D

Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.

My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome successful man devoted to his

work and family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.

On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an

outdoor cafe. We walked around that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table,

and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?

The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories

about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him than at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.

32．Why did the author feel bitter about her father when she was a young adult?

A．He expected too much of her.

B．He was too proud of himself.

C．He did not love his children.

D．He was silent most of the time.

33．When the author went out with her father on weekends, she would feel _____.

A．nervous B．sorry

C．tired D．safe

34．What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?

A．More critical.

B．More talkative

C．Gentle and friendly.

D．Strict and hard-working.

35．When the author says“I’m delighted with my new friend” in the last paragraph ，he refers to ________as his new friend.

A．the author’s son B．the author’s father

C．the friend of the author’s father D．the café owner
