专题05 绿色生活低碳环保A（2022·海南海口·海南华侨中学校联考模拟预测）Tree planting has become a tradition in China now. The idea of planting trees was first put forward in 1911 by Sun Zhongshan, the great pioneer in China’s history. He said more trees were needed as protection against flood (洪水) and drought (干旱). In 1915, April 5th was named as Tree-planting Day. Since 1979, the day has changed to March 12th.Besides improving the environment, tree-planting in China has a cultural connotation（内涵）. Some ancient thinkers believed that people with talents are in many ways like trees. Guan Zhong （管仲）, a great thinker in the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC) summarized this idea in his work. Today, almost all Chinese people are familiar with a sentence: “___▲___.” It means making a small tree into wood needs a long time. Also, it is not easy to develop a talent.Since 2013, President Xi Jinping has taken part in tree-planting activities. Xi said that he aimed to make his contribution to building a beautiful China and call on the whole of society and all young people to plant more trees to make China’s environment greener. He also said,“___▲___.”Everyone has heard of the Great Wall, but have you heard of the Great Green Wall（绿色长城）? That’s the biggest tree-planting project of all. The Gobi Desert（戈壁沙漠）in the north of China was growing every year. The government and local farmers plant trees all year around. Since 1978, China has planted over 66 billion trees in the north. It is known as “the Great Green Wall”. For example, Saihanba in Hebei Province was once a desert, but now it has become the biggest man-made forest in China. “China is making the world much greener than before. It sets a good example and has many lessons to share with the world.” said the United Nations Environment Program.Every year millions of trees are planted by people in China.

But what will happen if you leave for a trip and find you can never return? What will happen if your home, and even the land you stand on, disappear forever? For people who are living in the Pacific (太平洋) Islands, this is really possible.Why? Climate (气候) change. Climate change is causing the sea to rise. That’s bad news for Pacific Islands. Young people on the islands are even starting to wonder: Will they be the last humans on the islands?Of course not if the islanders have anything to do about it. These people are deeply connected to their homelands. The Pacific Islands are made of 11 different countries. Now all these countries are working together. They’re joining forces to fight climate change.Why does climate change bring such huge trouble to this part of the world? Islands have low elevations. So they are among the first places that are 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, can they make a big difference? They can, because most of the things that people on islands buyare brought by ships. This is very harmful to the environment. After all, ships put out almost 3 percent of the world’s carbon (碳) emissions (排放). That makes climate change worse.The islanders realize the problem. So, in 2019, six countries got together and came up with a plan. They agree to cut carbon emissions from shipping by 40 percent by 2030. And by 2050, they expect zero-carbon shipping.How will they make it? They plan to use some really cool carbon-free technologies. They’ll make use of solar (太阳能) and wind energy.Sea levels are rising, but hopes aren’t going down on the Pacific Islands.10．The underlined word “elevations” in the fourth paragraph means ________ in Chinese.

It has become a test field where some companies are trying to make a difference in lower carbon emission（碳排放）.In 2021, Tmall gave out 100 million yuan worth of shopping vouchers（代金券）. The company encouraged people to buy green products with the vouchers. JD．com also joined in the activity. There were more than 150 million green products at the shopping festival. Besides, JD．com said it would choose cleaner transportation to make the world greener.ZTO Express also took some action to achieve the goal last year. It handed out more than 11 million recyclable bags, taking the place of about 1.16 billion disposable（一次性的）bags. It washelpful in saving our environment. At the same time, Cainiao gave out 7.5 million eggs to people who took part in the box recycling activity. On the one hand, the old bags can be recycled and on the other hand, customers can get something useful in their daily lives.There are also signs that customers are becoming “greener” in their shopping habits. For example, most people only buy things they really need instead of the things they already have. “During the Double 11, I bought a coffee maker that is much cheaper than on normal days. The activity of getting new ones with old products can help us avoid wasting money,” said Bi Xin, a customer in Shenzhen.The shopping festival on November 11 is not only a festival for shopping now.

But in fact, some clothing companies are already making clothes like these.Fashion brand JUMA recently showed its newest collection at a workshop in Shanghai.Eighteen clothing items from the collection, including jumpsuits, jackets, shirts and dresses, were made from recycled plastic bottles.“We realized that billions of water bottles were being thrown into landfills and oceans every year and that these bottles take hundreds of years to decompose (分解). We thought we should use them to create our clothes and help improve the environment,” said Alia Juma, the company’s designer director.Many other fashion companies are finding similar ways to save our planet these days. The process is rather simple. First, the plastic bottles are washed and cut into small pieces. Then they are melted and shaped into small balls. The balls are melted again to form thread (线). People can then use the thread to make different kinds of clothes.According to Juma, it takes 67 ,000 bottles to create I ton of thread. This reduces carbon emissions (碳排放) by 4.2 tons and water use by 6.2 tons compared with the normal way of making thread.“Four bottles can make one pillowcase (枕套). Five can make a shirt,10 dresses, and 20 a short coat,” Juma said. Some people might have doubts (疑问) about wearing something made out of plastic bottles. But according to Causeartist, a website that focuses on innovation (创新), clothes made from plastics could even be better than nylon and polyester (聚酯纤维). Plastic thread can be made into different textures (织物), such as cotton, silk, or even wool. It seems that this innovation may lead to a greener future of fashion.20．What clothes in plastic did JUMA show at its newest collection at a workshop in Shanghai?
