A big sandstorm hit northern China several months ago. It covered many cities with thick clouds of yellow dust (尘土).
The storm, which came from Mongolia, has become the largest sandstorm in China in the past 10 years. Many flights were canceled because the visibility (能见度) was lower than 500 meters.
The storm was the result of warm and dry weather in the area, together with the strong winds from Mongolia. “There has been little rainfall so far this spring and the temperature is rising. So now it is a worrying time for sandstorms,” said an expert from Beijing.
In recent years, sandstorms haven’t been as common in northern China as before. Thanks to China’s Three-North Shelter Forestation Project (TNSFP三北防护林工程) which started in the 1970s, the land with desertification (沙漠化) has been falling by about 7, 000 km per year in China, and the area of sandy land has been decreasing by about 1,000 km a year. Millions of trees have been planted in northern China to prevent sandstorms and protect the environment.
Besides, China has a color-graded weather warning system (预警系统) for sandstorms, with red meaning the most serious, followed by orange and yellow. Therefore, people would have time to get prepared for the sandstorm.
( )39.What caused the sandstorm from Mongolia?
A.Cold and wet weather together with the strong winds.
B.Warm, dry weather and the strong winds.
C.Warm, wet weather and the strong winds.
( )40.The underlined word “decreasing” means “ ”.
A.going up B.putting down C.going down
( )41.When did TNSFP start?
A.In the 1970s. B.In the 1980s. C.In the 1960s.
( )42.If the visibility in your city is 700 meters, what color will the warning be?
A.Red. B.Orange. C.Yellow.
( )43.What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A.We have taken some actions to prevent sandstorms.
B.Sandstorms have never changed.
C.The weather is getting worse and worse.

请阅读下面短文,根据语篇内容,在方框内的缩写文章中,填入与短文意思最符合的单词 每空一词
Climatology(气候学)is the study of the “climate”—the weather over a long time.
The climate doesn’t always stay the same. It changes slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years. For example, we know that in the past large parts of the world had lots of ice and snow. This slow change is a normal part of our world, but today’s climate is changing very quickly. The Earth’s temperature is getting warmer faster than ever before.
The reason for this fast change is us: people. We are using a lot of fuel(燃料), destroying(破坏)forests, eating a lot of meat and drinking a lot of milk from cows. All of these activities produce a lot of gases—things in the air, such as carbon dioxide(CO2)—that make the Earth hotter.No one knows exactly what is going to happen to our climate in the future. Lots of CO2 and other gases are now in the air and they will continue to make the Earth hotter for hundreds of years. This means that ice will become water, so seas will rise and some places will be under water. The weather will be worse and there will be more storms.
It sounds very bad, but it is possible to help stop these changes to our climate. We can help by walking, cycling or using the bus, not the car. We can also travel less in planes, eat less meat and make changes at home to use less energy.

Mobile phones help us keep in touch with each other. Fridges keep food cool and fresh. Televisions make our life fun. But they can get old and become e-waste as time goes by. In fact, e-waste doesn’t only come from these things, but other electronics as well.
What is e-waste?
It includes all things with batteries (电池) or wires (电线).
E-waste is bad for the earth.
In 2019, the world produced around 53 million tons of e-waste. This is even heavier than all adults in Europe. The world’s e-waste will reach around 84 million tons by 2030.
It leads to not only a great harm to the environment, but a waste of valuable resources (资源). In fact, e-waste includes valuable resources such as gold, silver and so on. Besides, one smart phone battery can pollute 600, 000 liters (升) of water.
How can we deal with e-waste?
Recycling
You can give it to a recycling center in your community or some recycling companies.You can also repair your electronics instead of buying new ones.
An artist recently made some works using electronic waste. They are certainly cool pieces of art. “We thought we should make full use of them to protect the environment. All of us should do our part, and I’m only one of them,” he said. ▲
You can put it in a second-hand market. Some people prefer to use older and cheaper products. And you can get money from these old things.
Donating (捐献)
You can donate it to someone in need or who can’t afford new products.
54.What products will become e-waste in our daily life? (Two examples are OK.)
55.【跨学科综合题】Compared with 2014, the e-waste in 2030 will increase by million tons. Today percent of e-waste remains uncollected.
56.Why should we deal with e-waste?
57.How can we recycle e-waste?

Scientists predict that most polar bears(北极熊) 65. by the year 2100 because of global warming(全球变暖). Even if global warming is slowed down, the number of the polar bears will still be 66. influenced.
Scientists think there are about 25,000 polar bears left. Polar Bears spend most of their lives on the ice which covers the Arctic(北极的) seas. As the world gets 67. , the Arctic is warming about twice as quickly as other places. This is making the ice cap smaller and thinner. Scientists say that the ice could melt(融化) 68. during the summers by 2040. For polar bears, that’s a matter(大事) of life and 69. . Polar bears depend on the sea ice to travel, find mates(配偶), and hunt(打猎).
In the winter, when there’s enough ice, polar bears eat as much as possible to store up energy. But if there’s less winter ice, polar bears will have less area for hunting.
Summers are the 70. time for polar bears. With less ice to travel on, they have to spend more time on land, where there isn’t much food. Polar bears have no 71. but to go as long as six months without food. But rising temperatures in the Arctic are causing the days without ice to come sooner and last longer. That means the bears have no food to eat for a very long time. The lack of food may make baby polar bears live much harder. If they can’t live through the summers, it is possible for polar bear numbers 72. quickly.
Scientists warn that if global warming 73. , only the polar bears in the coldest parts of the Arctic will survive(幸存).
Something must 74. to help save polar bears. Man needs to take action to slow the global warming down. As researcher Peter Molnar says, “It is hopeful that they will not completely disappear, if we change our behaviors.”

In late April, Class 6 in Yuying Middle School holds meaningful activities every year. The students are excited about the activities, such as having a special trip or having a speech contest. However, on April 22 this year, Earth Day, Class 6 had a more educational activity called rubbish recycling. The purpose of the activity was to call on more people to live a low-carbon life. In order to make the activity go smoothly, the head teacher called on the students to prepare for it three days ago. They discussed the ideas in groups, searched for the materials and showed the projects. They were surprised to enjoy the art pieces made of rubbish. Li Mei was pleased to show her beautiful clothes made of old cloth and waste materials. Wang Lei made a big tree of old newspapers to get people to understand the importance of protecting trees. Lin Li came up with the idea of making robot models with bottles, old discs and other waste materials. Everyone got a strong feeling of satisfaction when they took part in the activity.

Hello, everyone. I’m a reporter from Teen Time magazine. We did a survey about food waste in different schools in the world. Here are the results.
The students have wasted food seriously. Nearly 1/3 of the meals provided for them in school are wasted. In the survey, we found there are two main reasons causing the problems. One of the reasons why students waste food is its quality and taste. They don’t think the food materials are fresh enough. And they think the food has a bad taste. The other important reason is that students cannot realize the problems caused by food waste.Luckily, schools around the world have taken action. As we know, the school in Whitewater in the US has added lessons on environment this year, which makes the students better understand the idea of saving food. The school in France has set up groups to help the students learn that food waste is harmful to the environment. As for China, in order to encourage students to reduce food waste, the schools make some strict rules that include ordering some food that they need or stopping students from throwing away the food. Think of the children who are suffering from hunger. Let’s try our best to save every grain from now on.

Last Sunday was Clean-up Day of our class. All the classmates went to the park to do the cleaning. Some collected plastic bottles and useless bags, some picked up rubbish and put it into the bins, and others swept the steps. After a while, the park was completely tidy and beautiful. What impressed me most was that we made a special robot using the plastic bottles we had collected!
We all have got a strong sense of satisfaction and pride from the activity because we have done something meaningful for our environment.
