Living on an island might sound wonderful． But what if you left for a trip and found you could never return？ What if your home， and even the land it stood on， was gone forever？For people living in the Pacific Islands，this is really possible．
Why？ Climate（气候） change． Climate change is causing the sea to rise． That's bad news for the Pacific Islands． Young people on the islands are even starting to wonder：Will they be the last generation（一代人）？
Not if the islanders have anything to do about it．These people are deeply connected to their homelands． The Pacific Islands are made up of 11 different countries： the Marshall Islands， Fiji， Samoa，and others． But now， those countries are working together． They're joining forces to fight climate change．
Why is climate change such a huge threat to this part of the world？Islands have low elevations（海拔）．So they are among the first places influenced by rising sea levels． That's why countries of the Pacific Islands are working together to do their part．
But these are small countries． When it comes to climate change， can they make a big difference？ They can， because most of the things that people on islands buy are brought by ships．This is very harmful to the environment． After all， ships put out almost 3 percent of the world's carbon emissions（碳排放）．That makes climate change worse．
Pacific Islanders realize the problem． So， in 2019，six countries got together：Fiji，the Marshall Islands， Samoa，Vanuatu， the Solomon Islands， and Tuvalu． They came up with a plan． They agreed to cut carbon emissions from shipping by 40 percent by 2030．And by 2050，they expect zero﹣carbon shipping．
How will they pull this off？ They plan to use some really cool carbon﹣free technologies．They'll make use of solar and wind energy．
Sea levels are rising， but hopes aren't sinking in the Pacific Islands．

B． The sea level is going up because of climate change．

A． there will never be zero carbon emissions from sipping
B． solar and wind energy will make climate change worse

But Wang Chengbang would not give up."After trying many different ways，I have learned how to grow young trees in a better way，" said Wang Chengbang.He also worked out new ways to save water.With his hard work，more and more trees have survived.So far，he has planted more than 1.5 million trees.Those green trees prevent desertification，make the air cleaner and protect people from the hot sun.Now，Korla is a model city in environmental protection.
Wang Chengbang is also successful in fighting cancer（癌症）.In 2005，he had cancer and was told that he had only six months to live.However，he continued taking care of his trees rather than lying on the hospital bed."Working is the best medicine.Planting trees helps to fight cancer，" he often jokes.

What do you do with your rubbish？Throw it out？You don't know what you're missing!Look closely at the two figures on your left.They were made from things most people throw away.The figures were made from used bottle caps.Those two bottle﹣cap figures were exhibited （展示） in a museum.
Folk art is art made by common people who have not been trained as artists.Their work is often based on traditions in their culture.Fine art，on the other hand，is usually made by people who have had training in art.Works of fine art are valued for their artistic beauty.They are supposed to be looked at but not used.Works of folk art，however，are often made for everyday use.
There were more than 800 pieces of folk art from nearly 50 countries in the exhibition.All of the pieces were made from used metal，wood，cloth，and plastic.The artists come from many different cultures.Still，they all share one thing.They take objects that are normally thrown away and change them into objects that are beautiful，useful，and fun.The artists may not think of what they do as recycling，but that's exactly what it is.Fine artists might work with expensive materials.They might use expensive tools to shape these materials into works of art.On the other hand，in poor countries rubbish might be the only material folk artists and toy makers can afford.The exhibition shows that a rich imagination is very important when there are only poor materials.Recycled art began long before people began to think about recycling.Some of the objects in the exhibition date from the 1930s.
Even if you don't create art out of rubbish，it's good to save our natural resources.Remember the three rules：reduce，reuse，recycle.If you reduce waste，true things instead of throwing them out，and recycle materials such as paper，plastic，and glass，you will protect the environment.

Air pollution is a big problem for cities in most countries． Many people are dying from it． But how can we tell the air quality is good or bad？
On a tree next to a river in Amsterdam， a tiny birdhouse glows （发光） bright green when the air is clean． If you're standing nearby， the birdhouse will also give you a free Wi﹣Fi connection﹣but only if pollution level is low enough． The designer is Joris Lam． His birdhouse tells you about the air quality．
Joris' birdhouse is called TreeWifi． It can be put on a tree around your house to test the air quality． People can see a screen with information about the local air quality and how to improve it． TreeWifi is a simple way for people to know about the air pollution around them． If the birdhouse does not glow， people should care more about the environment． It reminds them to change their lifestyles． For example， to protect the air， they can ride bikes or just walk instead of driving cars．
"Imagine if trees gave free Wi﹣Fi， people would plant more trees like crazy． It's a pity that they only give us the oxygen（氧气） we breathe，" Joris said．
The birdhouse doesn't work as a home for birds now． Joris and his team are trying to make some changes to it． In the future， they hope birds will live in the birdhouse and the heat of its green light will be used to keep birds warm in winter．

In America，a new activity known as "zero waste" is becoming popular．It is carried out in schools，cafes，gyms，parks，restaurants and other places．"Zero waste" activity calls on people to produce less litter．It encourages people to reuse whatever they can．
Although the idea seems a little unrealistic （不现实的），it is necessary．According to a new report，American people produce the largest amount of the litter in the world．Each person produces almost 4.6pounds of litter every day．More than half of the litter which is put into landfills is harmful．Actually，this is bad for the environment．Besides this，more landfills（填埋场） are needed．
"Nobody wants to have a landfill lying near his house，"said Jon D．Johnson from the Environmental Protection Agency，which helps to carry out "zero waste" activity．"There are not enough landfills，so we can't put all our litter into them．We should try to recycle it as much as we can．"

65．What's the main idea of this passage？
．
In the modern age，human society runs on energy．Most machines need electricity to operate．Humans can not live without electricity even a single day both in their daily life and work．They have many different ways to create electricity．But some ways are harmful to the environment．
For example，fossil fuels（化石燃料）are the most common kind of energy．They include coal，oil，and natural gas．First，people have to dig them from the ground．This can sometimes harm the environment．However，scientists are creating cleaner and better ways to do that these days．So the environment is not harmed as much as before．But when people burn these fossil fuels，they can give off a lot of harmful gases，which is considered to be one of the greatest causes of global warming．This might harm the environment．
Tidal（潮汐）energy is another way to make electricity．This uses the ocean tides to make electricity．But some kinds of tidal energy can kill many fish and other sea animals．Also dams（大坝）can create lots of clean energy．But dams create lakes and change the way that rivers run．So they can do great harm to the balance of nature around the lakes and along the rivers．
34．According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE about fossil fuels？___
A．They are dug from the ground．
B．They are considered expensive．
C．They hardly harm the environment．
