5 . Tips for Green Travel With Kids

Travelling doesn’t mean letting go of all the eco-friendly choices we work so hard to achieve in our daily life. Here are a few tips for green travel with kids: Booking nonstop flights whenever possible will reduce carbon emissions (碳排放). If the closest local airport doesn’t have nonstop flights to a certain place, check with other local airports to see if nonstop flights are available.     1    

Whether you’re flying or driving, it’s easy when travelling to pull into fast food restaurants for snacks.     2     My kids love to help plan snacks. I let them create their own snacks for the trip at home.

    3     At the airport, keep your reusable bottles empty until you have passed through the security checks (安检). Fill them up on the other side of the security checkpoint. Single-use plastic water bottles create unnecessary waste and the plastic can be harmful to your health.

    4     Open a few windows and turn off the air conditioner (空调). You should also help your children keep their good and green habits from home to place while travelling. Sometimes vacation can mean more than one shower each day-once in the morning and again after getting out of the pool. Pay attention to the number of showers and the length of showers.     5    

A．Walking is good for your health.

B．Try to cut back to save water and energy.

C．But you can pack healthy food from home.

D．Travelling is a great chance to introduce your kids to the world.

E．Reusable water bottles are easy to bring along wherever you travel.

F．Save energy by turning off the hotel room lights when you head out for the day.

G．You might have to drive a bit further, but saving on carbon emissions makes it worthwhile.

7 . 语法填空

In order to protect the wildlife, we should     1    (equal) treat all species including the good, the bad, and the ugly. Although the cute wildlife such as pandas and    2    (dolphin) is important, we must pay attention to     3    (little) cute animals, too. In fact, our world needs all kinds of animals and without     4    (various), our planet cannot survive. So    5    you want the future to be beautiful, you have to give ugly animals     6    chance.

As we all know, billions of trees are being cut down every year     7    (make) paper for humans. Every tree that is cut down     8    (be) a part of the habitat of animals like koalas.    9     this way a lot of animal homes are being destroyed.Is it right to make animals     10    　(home) so that humans can have more paper?

8 . 【课文原文】

A DAY IN THE CLOUDS

The air is thin and we have to rest several times on the short hike from camp. To our left, snow­covered mountains disappear into clouds that seem almost close enough to touch. On the plain in front of us, we can just make out a herd of graceful animals. This is why we’re here—to observe Tibetan antelopes.

Tibetan antelopes live on the plains of Tibet, Xinjiang, and Qinghai. Watching them move slowly across the green grass, I’m struck by their beauty. I’m also reminded of the danger they were in. They were hunted, illegally, for their valuable fur.

My guide is Zhaxi, a villager from Changtang. He works at the Changtang National Nature Reserve. The reserve is a shelter for the animals and plants of northwestern Tibet. To Zhaxi, the land is sacred and protecting the wildlife is a way of life. “We’re not trying to save the animals,” he says. “Actually, we’re trying to save ourselves.”

The 1980s and 1990s were bad times for the Tibetan antelope. The population dropped by more than 50 percent. Hunters were shooting antelopes to make profits. Their habitats were becoming smaller as new roads and railways were built.

In order to save this species from extinction, the Chinese government placed it under national protection. Zhaxi and other volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from attacks. Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains.

The measures were effective. The antelope population has recovered and in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope was removed from the endangered species list. The government, however, does not intend to stop the protection programmes, since the threats to the Tibetan antelope have not yet disappeared.

In the evening, I drink a cup of tea and watch the stars. I think about the antelopes and what Zhaxi told me. Much is being done to protect wildlife, but if we really want to save the planet, we must change our way of life. Only when we learn to exist in harmony with nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet.

A. We should learn to live in harmony with nature. B. Measures were taken to save this species from extinction. C. Tibetan antelopes are in danger. D. The good effects the measures have had. E.

10 . Hardware in general, and smartphones in particular, have become a huge environmental and health problem in the Global South's landfill sites (垃圾填埋场).

Electronic waste(e-waste) currently takes up 5 percent of all global waste, and it is set to increase rapidly as more of us own more than one smartphone, laptop and power bank. They end up in places like Agbogbloshie on the outskirts of Ghana's capital, Accra. It is the biggest e-waste dump in the world, where 10,000 informal workers walk through tons of abandoned goods as part of an informal recycling process. They risk their health searching for the precious metals that are found in abandoned smartphones.

But Agbogbloshie should not exist. The Basel Convention, a 1989 treaty, aims to prevent developed nations from unauthorized dumping of e-waste in less developed countries. The e-waste industry, however, circumvents regulations by exporting e-waste labelled as "secondhand goods' to poor countries like Ghana, knowing full well that it is heading for a landfill site.

A recent report found Agbogbloshie contained some of the most dangerous chemicals. This is not surprising: smartphones contain chemicals like mercury (水银), lead and even arsenic (砷). Reportedly, one egg from a free-range chicken in Agbogbloshie contained a certain chemical which can cause cancer and damage the immune system at a level that's about 220 times greater than a limit set by the European Food Safety Authority(EFSA). Most worryingly, these poisonous chemicals are free to pollute the broader soil and water system. This should concern us all, since some of Ghana's top exports are cocoa and nuts.

Some governments have started to take responsibility for their consumers' waste. For example, Germany has started a project that includes a sustainable recycling system at Agbogbloshie, along with a health clinic for workers. However, governments cannot solve the problem alone, as there is an almost limitless consumer demand for hardware, especially when governments' green policies are focused on issues like climate change.

Only the manufacturers can fix this. A more economically sustainable and politically possible solution is through encouraging hardware manufacturers to make the repair, reuse and recycling of hardware profitable, or at least cost-neutral.

1. What can we infer from paragraph 2?

A．Electronic waste requires more landfill sites across Ghana.

B．Electronic waste is too complex to get fully recycled.

C．Electronic products need to be improved urgently.

D．Electronic pollution is a burning question in Agbogbloshie.

2. What does the underlined word “circumvents” in paragraph 3 mean?

A．Abolishes.

B．Tightens.

C．Brings in.

D．Gets around.

3. What should be the best concern according to the text?

A．The threat of polluted food around the world.

B．The damage of chicken’s immune system.

C．The lack of diversity in Ghana’s exports.

D．The violation of EFSA’s standards.

4. What does the author think is the best solution to the e-waste problem?

A．Manufacturers’ developing a sustainable hardware economy.

B．Governments’ adjusting their green policies about e-waste.

C．Reducing customers’ demands for electronic products.

D．Manufacturers’ urging the government to make effective policies to ensure more profit.
