Since 2018, the Guardian(《卫报》) has used "global heating" instead of "global warming" to describe climate change. This change came after scientists found that Earth's temperature would rise between 2.5℃ and 4.5℃, which is higher than the past. Though the two phrases are simple, they send out a lot of messages.
If "global warming" makes us feel that we can still manage the climate change without too much worry, "global heating" is totally different. When we get into the "global heating" state, it's as if we were moving towards a place where nature's delicate (微妙的) balance is so seriously broken that we can't make things better again. Everything will be changing: Coral will die, polar bears will lose their living areas completely, and extreme (极端的) weather like droughts and heavy storms will often happen. There's no doubt that we're entering a "climate emergency".
Many years ago, when people first learned about the climate problem, they thought it would only have an effect on future generations (代). But a climate scientist named Katherine Mach said that now it's our problem in fact. The climate has changed, and we're all experiencing this change together.
However, just knowing these messages is not enough. It depends on every one of us to find a method and take action. Indeed, language matters. But action matters even more.
(1)、Why did the Guardianuse "global heating" instead of "global warming"?A、Because the two phrases are very simple. B、Because scientists found Earth's temperature rise level is higher than the past. C、Because "global heating" is easier to remember. D、Because it can make people feel less worried.(2)、What does "global heating" make us think of?A、We can manage climate change easily. B、Nature's balance will be seriously broken and we can't fix it. C、Coral will grow better and polar bears will have new homes. D、Extreme weather will happen less often.(3)、What did people think about the climate problem many years ago?A、It would only make a difference to future generations. B、It would probably change the global language. C、It would be only a problem for scientists. D、It would help scientists do more research.(4)、Which of the following is NOT the result of global heating?A、Coral will die. B、Polar bears will lose their homes. C、More droughts and heavy storms will happen. D、Earth's temperature will drop soon.(5)、What does the last paragraph want to tell us?A、Language is more important than action. B、Only scientists need to take action on climate change. C、Knowing the climate problem is enough. D、Both language and action matter, and action is more important. -

The global fashion industry is changing at a fast pace with the development of society and the increasing awareness of environmental protection. Among all the new trends, a concept called "sustainable fashion" is becoming more and more popular among brands and consumers. Sustainable fashion, also known as eco-fashion, means making and wearing clothes in a way that is friendly to the environment and respectful to the people involved in the production process.
Many well-known fashion brands around the world have started to change their production methods and use more eco-friendly materials. For example, they choose organic cotton that is grown without harmful chemicals, which is not only good for the soil and water but also safer for people's skin. Some brands even recycle plastic bottles from daily life, process them into soft cloth, and then make them into T-shirts or jackets. Besides, they also try their best to reduce waste by reusing old clothes. For instance, some brands set up collection boxes in shopping malls to collect old jeans, and then process these old jeans into new bags, wallets or even new pieces of clothing.
Why is sustainable fashion so important for our world? First of all, making traditional clothes usually uses a huge amount of water and energy. It is reported that producing a single cotton T-shirt needs hundreds of litres of water. Second, a large number of old clothes are often thrown away and end up in landfills every year. These clothes take a long time to decompose and will pollute the soil and groundwater. By choosing sustainable fashion, we can effectively reduce resource consumption and environmental pollution, thus helping protect our precious planet.
As students, we can also take small but meaningful actions to join in the sustainable fashion movement. We can try to buy fewer new clothes and take good care of our old clothes to make them last longer. We can also sort out our old clothes that are still in good condition and give them to others who need them, such as children in poor areas or people around us. Remember, fashion is not just about looking fashionable and beautiful, it's also about being responsible for our environment and our world.
(1)、What is the correct definition of sustainable fashion?A、Making clothes as cheap as possible. B、Making and wearing clothes friendly to the environment and people. C、Wearing the most popular clothes in the fashion industry. D、Using only new materials to make clothes.(2)、Which of the following materials is considered eco-friendly according to the passage?A、Cotton grown with harmful chemicals. B、Recycled plastic bottles made into soft cloth. C、Cloth made from non-recyclable waste. D、Paper that can't be reused.(3)、What is the purpose of some fashion brands collecting old jeans?A、To throw them away in landfills. B、To sell them at a high price. C、To reuse them to make new things. D、To show them in fashion shows.(4)、According to the passage, which of the following is a reason why sustainable fashion is important?A、Traditional clothes-making uses little water. B、Old clothes can't pollute the earth. C、It helps protect our planet. D、It makes fashion brands earn less money.(5)、What can students do to take part in sustainable fashion according to the passage?A、Buy as many new clothes as possible. B、Throw old clothes away after wearing once. C、Give old clothes to people in need. D、Refuse to wear any fashionable clothes. -

Have you noticed more parks in cities these days? From "pocket parks" between communities to forest parks, local governments are making China's cities greener.
From 2021 to 2022, Shanghai turned 62 woodlands into leisure (休闲) spaces, according to a report by the government. These leisure spaces open up forests so that visitors can walk through nature and get closer to wildlife, according to the report. The city has also been working to build more woodland parks.
In city areas, companies and universities have chosen to "open their gates" and share their green spaces. For example, a university opened its 1,000-square-metre green land to the public, providing more space for tourists.
In Nanning, Guangxi, parks are not only for leisure. The People's Park hosts non-profit (非营利的) shows to develop local culture, such as Nanning's traditional Yong opera (邕剧). The new Nanning Flowers Park has several courts for playing ball games and holds sports activities.
Parks not only meet people's needs, but also are good for the environment. Beijing's Central Green Forest Park, opened in 2020, is now carbon-neutral. The park's facilities produce carbon dioxide, but the plants there take in more to make up for it. The park also reuses rainwater and creates green energy, such as solar power.
As cities in China become greener, "park cities" are coming true. This idea is to improve the natural environment and meet people's needs for a better living experience.
(1)、From 2021 to 2022, what did Shanghai do to make itself greener?A、It planted more trees in the city centre. B、It turned more woodlands into leisure spaces. C、It changed some leisure spaces into schools. D、It built more parking lots around its parks.(2)、What can people do in Nanning's parks?A、Get close to wild animals. B、Watch all kinds of films. C、Take part in college activities. D、Get to know more about local culture.(3)、What does the underlined word "carbon-neutral" in paragraph 5 mean?A、The park does not produce any carbon. B、The park takes in all the carbon dioxide produced by the city. C、The plants take in carbon dioxide produced by the facilities. D、The facilities in the park reuse rainwater and create green energy.(4)、Why is China making "park cities" come true in paragraph 6?A、To help people learn more about nature. B、To develop a new idea about building parks. C、To improve the environment and people's lives. D、To give people more spaces to exercise outdoors.(5)、What is the best title for the passage?A、Parks in Nanning hold fitness events B、Shanghai builds many woodland parks C、People love visiting parks in big cities D、China's cities get greener with more parks -

12、 阅读短文,根据题目要求完成各小题。
Our school forum (网络论坛) is starting a discussion on "Humans and Nature". How should we get along with nature? Should we protect nature completely or believe technology can help us better? Here are some students' opinions on it.
Lin Tao (13, Grade 7)—Be Nature's Guardians (守护者) 8:35 p.m. 19 Sep.
Nature isn't just there for us to use—it has its own value (价值). We should protect forests, oceans, and animals for our future. We can build more nature reserves (保护区) and cut down pollution. It's also important to learn to enjoy nature and live peacefully with it, not just take from it. Small actions like saving water can help a lot if everyone does them.
Wang Mei (14, Grade 8)—Technology Helps the Environment 8:45 p.m. 19 Sep.
We can't give up modern life and go back to a simple one. Instead, we should use technology to fix environmental problems. For example, we can develop clean energy like solar power to take the place of coal and oil. Technology caused some of these problems, so we need smart ideas and new inventions. Humans can't live without a good natural environment, so we need smart ideas and new inventions.
Zhang Jian (15, Grade 9)—Balance Protection and Progress 10 minutes ago
We need natural resources to develop, and we have to use them in a proper way. For example, we can cut down trees, but we should also plant new ones. We can build cities, but we need to leave green space for animals. It's not about choosing between protection and development—it's about finding a wise middle way.
(1)、Does Lin Tao think small actions can help to protect nature?(2)、According to Zhang Jian, what should we do after cutting down trees?(3)、What should we develop to take the place of coal and oil according to Wang Mei?(4)、What is the common idea in all three students' opinions?(5)、What do you think of their opinions and why?
