Ever wonder why there are so many people polluting the earth? Ever say to yourself：Hey, I wish that I could do more to help the environment? Have you ever thought about trying to help the earth but never really did it? Well, here are some pretty easyand skillful ideas for that green - earth desire inside you.
●Turn off your computer. By leaving it on all day you are creating more CO2than a regular passenger would, driving to and from work in one day.
● Ride your bike or carpool (合用汽车).Obviously, youare creating less CO2which will help the ozone(臭氧).
● Make a garden. Even simply grow some plants in your kitchen, which will help produce more oxygen while eating up some of that evil CO2.
● Buy local groceries. It creates less impact on the environment. Besides, you're supporting your local farmers.
● Recycle. You had to see this coming. But you have no idea how much you are helping the environment by simply reusing a water bottle instead of buying a huge pack at the store.
● Don't run the water while brushing. It saves you money and helps the water resources.
● Open the curtains. Natural light is much prettier and it will keep the energy usage down.
● Rechargeable batteries. You have no idea how much it takes to get rid of batteries. Do yourself a favor. Save some money and some energy.
1. If you don't want to create more CO2, you may_______.
A. turn off your computer or open the curtains

Paper is one of our oldest, simplest and most important inventions. But it also presents a danger to the world in two important ways. First, the making of paper requires the loss of many millions of trees each year. And worldwide use of paper is expected to double in the next 40 years. Clearly, the planet cannot stand such a high rate of forest loss. The second great problem with paper is what happens once it is no longer useful. A large amount of wastepaper ends up in landfills, where it can produce harmful gases and finally contribute to global climate change.
One simple solution can greatly reduce both of these problems: paper recycling. Instead of cutting down trees, recycle existing paper to feed the paper-making process.
Paper is mainly made from cellulose (纤维素)，which can be used repeatedly in papermaking. Unfortunately, it also means that paper waste takes a surprisingly long time to break down in landfills. So far, trees are the only source(来源) of cellulose that can fill the great demand for paper products. Therefore, recycling paper is simply one of the best ways to save trees. Thanks to advances in processing, recycled paper need not be the dark-color1 edstuff many of us are familiar with. It now can offer the same print performance as non-recycled paper.
Effective recycling requires a continuous effort from everyone at all levels of society. The way to begin is with education and understanding. Once enough people realize the need for recycling, more effective recycling systems can be developed.
The need is real. The massive loss of trees affects everybody on earth. Everyone should do their part to recycle paper and encourage government and industry to do the same. The world will be a better place for it!
4. What can we infer from the text?
A. The use of recycled paper will double in 40 years.
B. Recycling paper helps relieve global climate change.
C. Wastepaper can easily break down in landfills.
D. There are not enough landfills for wastepaper.
5. What makes recycled paper more acceptable?
A. The great demand of trees.
B. The low processing cost.
C. Its dark-color1 ed feature.
D. Its improved print performance.
6. What does the author propose?
A. Punishing the act of cutting trees.
B. Recycling paper.
C. Improving recycling system.
D. Promoting paper industry.
7. How is the text mainly developed?
A. By analyzing causes and effects.
B. By offering research plans and data.
C. By discussing problems and solutions.
D. By comparing strengths and weaknesses.
C
Brown cows may not actually make chocolate milk, but pink silkworms（蚕）do produce pink silk, a team of scientists has discovered. To see if they could produce pre-dyed silk-silk that comes color1 ed, straight from the source-the team fed ordinary silkworms mulberry（桑树）leaves that had been sprayed（喷洒）with fabric（织物）dyes（染色剂）. Out of seven tested dyes, only one worked, producing a thread that reminded me of pink-dyed hair.
And yes, the worms themselves take on some color1 before they produce silk. Their color1 ful diets did not affect their growth, the team, which included engineers and biologists from the CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory in India, reports in the journalACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering. (The researchers didn't look too deeply into how the dyes affected the silkworms' health. After all, silkworms die when people harvest their silk.)
The team made dyeing silk this way because color1 ing fabric normally uses large amounts of fresh water. The water gets polluted with dangerous chemicals in the process, requiring costly treatment before factories can send it back into waterways. Dyeing silk directly by feeding silkworms would avoid those water-washing steps. Scientists are just starting to study this idea. However, it remains to be seen if it's commercially successful. In this experiment, the Indian team tested seven dyes, which are cheap and popular in the industry.
The scientists found different dyes moved through silkworms' bodies differently. Some never made it into the worms' silk at all. Others color1 ed the worms and their silk but the color1 disappears before the silk is turned into fabric. Only one dye, named "direct acid fast red", showed up in the final, washed silk threads. By the time it made it there, it was a pleasant, light pink.
8. The text is most probably a(n) ________.
A. science report
B. tourist guide
C. animal experiment
D. fashion advertisement
9. Silkworms can produce pink silk because ________.
A. they are born pink
B. they are dyed pink
C. they grow in pink water
D. they are fed dyed food
10. Where is the experiment carried out?
A. In America.
B. In India.
C. In Israel.
D. In China.
11. How many dyes have been proved successful in the experiment?
A. One.
B. Three.
C. Five.
D. Seven.

After finishing his dinner, Lin Xu opened a WeChat mini-program called "Clear Plate" on his phone and took picture of the empty plates. He was then awarded 157 credit points after the image was uploaded and recognized by artificial intelligence.
“Users of the app can use their credit to buy gifts, such as books and cellphones to purchase charity meals donated to children in poor rural areas,” Lin said.
A nationwide "Clear Your Plate" campaign is gaining steam online. Efforts to stop food waste and promote thrift are also being made by restaurants that have been urged to create an environment in which consumers are reminded not to waste food. They are also encouraged to offer different portion sizes so that customers can have more choices.
The “Clear Plate” mini-program has become popular among young Chinese and currently has nearly 1 million users.
Liu Jichen, founder of the startup that developed the app, said that the idea popped up at a dinner in 2017, when Liu found that a restaurant would give diners who polished off their food a card and offer small gifts after a certain number of cards had been collected.
“Such an idea can be realized online,” Liu said. He formed a team to work on the project.
Yet it was quite challenge for the AI system to identify whether the uploaded photos showed empty plates.
To make the AI system smarter, Liu and his team, assisted by more than 1,000 others, spent half a year collecting over 100, 000 samples in canteens and restaurants across the country and used the data to train neural network. Dozens of enterprises, institutions and restaurants have contacted the startup to cooperate on the project.
Through the visualized mini-program, people can clearly see the good results of saving food, which will effectively reduce waste, he noted. "We hope our efforts can start a new trend among the younger generation,
encouraging them to carry out the virtue of cherishing food and developing the habit of thrift, " Liu said
12. What is the main function of the APP "Clear Plate?
A. Awarding credit points.
B. Giving charity meals.
C. Showing the empty plates.
D. Encouraging saving food.
13. How is the "Clear Your Plate" campaign carried out?
A. Customers wasting food are punished.
B. People join in it on mini-program.
C. Restaurants limit customers' choices.
D. People are encouraged to buy gifts.
14. What was the most difficult when the app was created?
A. Getting other people to cooperate with the team.
B. Collecting samples in canteens and restaurants.
C. Ensuring the app to recognize empty plates.
D. Finding people to fund the app.
15. What is the purpose of the writing?
A. To introduce an app.
B. To promote saving food.
C. To praise a startup founder.
D. To raise fund for poor children.
