(2025·浙江台金七校联考)
In recent years, electric vehicles (EVs)have gained significant popularity as a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional gasoline-powered cars.However, concerns about their actual environmental impact are growing.For instance, the production of EV batteries requires large amounts of rare earth metals, the mining of which can lead to deforestation, soil erosion, and water pollution.Additionally, the electricity used to charge EVs often comes from power plants that burn fossil fuels, emitting substantial amounts of greenhouse gases.Some studies suggest that in regions heavily dependent on coal for electricity generation, the carbon footprint of EVs during their operation may not be much lower than that of conventional vehicles.
Nevertheless, these concerns might be overstated.In fact, EVs may have a much greater potential for environmental benefits than many people realize.The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT)predicts that as the share of renewable energy in electricity generation increases, the environmental advantages of EVs will become more pronounced.Currently, only about 20% of the electricity used for EV charging in some regions comes from renewable sources like solar and wind.But as the world transitions to cleaner energy, this percentage is expected to rise significantly.Moreover, EVs contribute to reducing air pollution in urban areas.They produce zero tailpipe emissions, which directly improves local air quality and reduces the health risks associated with breathing polluted air.
Automakers and policymakers face the challenge of maximizing the environmental benefits of EVs while minimizing their negative impacts.The ideal solution would be to rapidly increase the proportion of renewable energy in the power grid and improve the efficiency of battery recycling.However, since achieving a fully renewable power grid globally is still a long-term goal, focusing on three more immediate measures is more practical.
The first measure is promoting battery recycling. Starting in 2027, some countries will require automakers to take back used EV batteries and recycle at least 70% of the materials.This practice should be adopted more widely.The second measure is optimizing the location of charging stations.By strategically placing charging stations near renewable energy sources, the environmental impact of charging can be further reduced.Third, automakers must invest more in research and development to improve battery technology, making it more energy-efficient and reducing the need for rare earth metals.Strengthening these approaches would help transform EVs from potential environmental concerns into powerful tools for environmental protection.

(2025·河南豫东、豫北十所名校阶段测试)
Sweden is so good at recycling that, for several years, it has imported rubbish from other countries so that its recycling plants can function smoothly.Less than 1 percent of Swedish household waste was sent to landfills (垃圾填埋场)last year or any year since 2011.
We can only dream of such an effective system in the UK, which is why we end up paying expensive transport costs to send rubbish to be recycled overseas rather than paying fines to send it to landfills under The Landfill Tax of 1996.
Why are we sending waste to Sweden Their system is so far ahead because of a culture of looking after the environment.Sweden was one of the first countries to place a heavy tax on fossil fuels in 1991 and now sources almost half its electricity from renewables.
“In Sweden, people are quite crazy about being out in nature and they have a clear idea of what needs to be done on nature and environmental problems.We worked on communications for a long time to make people not throw things outdoors so that we can recycle and reuse,” says Anria-Carin Gripwall, director of communications for Avfall Sverige, the Swedish Waste Management's recycling association.
Over time, Sweden has carried out a national recycling policy so that even though private companies undertake most of the business of importing and burning waste, the energy goes into a national heating network to heat homes through the freezing Swedish winter.“That's a key reason that we have this district network, so we can use the heating from the waste plants.In the southern part of Europe, they don't use the heating from the waste; it just goes out of the chimney.Here we use it as a substitute for fossil fuels,” Ms Gripwall says.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述瑞典回收体系高效,家庭垃圾填埋率极低,还进口他国垃圾,这源于其环保文化、早征化石燃料税及全国性回收政策,且将垃圾能源用于供暖。

(2025·四川成都六校协作体联考)
Sichuan, a province celebrated for its diverse landscapes and profound cultural roots, offers more than just its iconic landmarks.Beyond the bustling tourist trails lie lesser-known treasures that cater to adventurers, history buffs, and nature enthusiasts alike.These hidden gems, with their unique charm and authentic experiences, promise unforgettable journeys.Here are three such destinations waiting to be explored.
Daocheng Yading
Nestled in the Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, this remote plateau scenic area is called “the last pure land on Earth”.Its snow-capped peaks (including the 6,032-meter Mt.Chenrezig),turquoise lakes, and alpine meadows draw adventurers.Note that altitude sickness is common—visitors are advised to rest for a day in Daocheng County before heading up.The best months are May to June (wildflowers)and September to October (golden forests).Entrance:¥146 (peak season), ¥120 (off-season).Open:7:00 am-5:30 pm.
Leshan Giant Buddha
Carved into a cliff along the Min River, this 71-meter-tall statue is the world's largest stone Buddha, built over 90 years during the Tang Dynasty.Unlike mountain hikes, it's accessible via riverside paths and boat tours (¥70 extra).Avoid summer crowds—spring (March-April)or autumn (October-November)is better.Tickets:¥80 (adults), free for kids under 1.2m.Open: 8:00 am-6:30 pm (April-October); 8:30 am-5:30 pm (November-March).
Langzhong Ancient Town
One of China's four best-preserved ancient towns, Langzhong in Nanchong dates back 2,300 years.Its well-preserved city walls, traditional courtyards, and annual Spring Festival lantern shows (featuring 10,000+ lanterns)attract culture lovers.Unlike natural sites, it's enjoyable year-round, though winter can be chilly.A combined ticket for key attractions (Zhang Fei Temple, Ancient Well Museum)costs ¥110.Most sites open from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, but night tours of the lantern-lit streets run until 10:00 pm.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四川的三个各具特色的旅游目的地:稻城亚丁、乐山大佛和阆中古城,为不同兴趣的旅行者提供了旅游建议。

Enric Sala is a former university professor, and quit the academic field to become a full-time environmental protector.In 2008, he founded Pristine Seas, a project that combines exploration, research, public policy and media to inspire the creation of ocean protection areas.It aims to protect at least 30% of the ocean by 2030 for the benefit of nature and humanity.Less than 8% is currently protected.
To date, the project has helped to create 29 of the largest ocean reserves on the planet, covering an area of over 6.9 million square kilometers, an area which is twice the size of India.The achievements are the result of Enric's 36 trips across the globe, from the Southern Line Islands to Greenland and Alaska.
The ongoing ocean protection efforts show Enric's lifelong passion.He says he admires a famous French filmmaker and undersea explorer.Growing up in Catalonia in the 1970s, he would sit in front of TV watching his hero every Sunday.He was fascinated by the amazing places, the brave underwater explorers and the wonderful creatures.All was what he wanted to do in his life.
Enric writes that in the last century alone, humans have removed over 90% of the ocean's large fish, yet less than 8% of the ocean is under protection.It is possible to make the ocean continuously beneficial to people and the planet.All humans must do is rewild the sea.Enric writes that preserving the planet's wild places, on land and in the ocean, is a matter of human survival and economic importance in his book, The Nature of Nature:Why We Need the Wild, published in 2020.The process of rewilding, or recovering and protecting natural processes, allows nature to do the hard work for us.
Mentioning the successes of wildlife recovery in Yellowstone National Park, Mozambique National Parks, and the Southern Line Islands, Enric adds that our natural world can be a lasting and strong engine of regeneration (再生),and that we just need to give it some space.

In recent years, electric vehicles (EVs)have gained significant popularity as a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional gasoline-powered cars.However, concerns about their actual environmental impact are growing.
For instance, the production of EV batteries requires large amounts of rare earth metals, the mining of which can lead to deforestation, soil erosion, and water pollution.Additionally, the electricity used to charge EVs often comes from power plants that burn fossil fuels, emitting substantial amounts of greenhouse gases.Some studies suggest that in regions heavily dependent on coal for electricity generation, the carbon footprint of EVs during their operation may not be much lower than that of conventional vehicles.
Nevertheless, these concerns might be overstated.In fact, EVs may have a much greater potential for environmental benefits than many people realize.The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT)predicts that as the share of renewable energy in electricity generation increases, the environmental advantages of EVs will become more pronounced.Currently, only about 20% of the electricity used for EV charging in some regions comes from renewable sources like solar and wind.But as the world transitions to cleaner energy, this percentage is expected to rise significantly.Moreover, EVs contribute to reducing air pollution in urban areas.They produce zero tailpipe emissions, which directly improves local air quality and reduces the health risks associated with breathing polluted air.
Automakers and policymakers face the challenge of maximizing the environmental benefits of EVs while minimizing their negative impacts.The ideal solution would be to rapidly increase the proportion of renewable energy in the power grid and improve the efficiency of battery recycling.However, since achieving a fully renewable power grid globally is still a long-term goal, focusing on three more immediate measures is more practical.
The first measure is promoting battery recycling. Starting in 2027, some countries will require automakers to take back used EV batteries and recycle at least 70% of the materials.This practice should be adopted more widely.The second measure is optimizing the location of charging stations.By strategically placing charging stations near renewable energy sources, the environmental impact of charging can be further reduced.Third, automakers must invest more in research and development to improve battery technology, making it more energy-efficient and reducing the need for rare earth metals.Strengthening these approaches would help transform EVs from potential environmental concerns into powerful tools for environmental protection.

(2025·河南豫东、豫北十所名校阶段测试)
Sweden is so good at recycling that, for several years, it has imported rubbish from other countries so that its recycling plants can function smoothly.Less than 1 percent of Swedish household waste was sent to landfills (垃圾填埋场)last year or any year since 2011.
We can only dream of such an effective system in the UK, which is why we end up paying expensive transport costs to send rubbish to be recycled overseas rather than paying fines to send it to landfills under The Landfill Tax of 1996.
Why are we sending waste to Sweden Their system is so far ahead because of a culture of looking after the environment.Sweden was one of the first countries to place a heavy tax on fossil fuels in 1991 and now sources almost half its electricity from renewables.
“In Sweden, people are quite crazy about being out in nature and they have a clear idea of what needs to be done on nature and environmental problems.We worked on communications for a long time to make people not throw things outdoors so that we can recycle and reuse,” says Anria-Carin Gripwall, director of communications for Avfall Sverige, the Swedish Waste Management's recycling association.
Over time, Sweden has carried out a national recycling policy so that even though private companies undertake most of the business of importing and burning waste, the energy goes into a national heating network to heat homes through the freezing Swedish winter.“That's a key reason that we have this district network, so we can use the heating from the waste plants.In the southern part of Europe, they don't use the heating from the waste; it just goes out of the chimney.Here we use it as a substitute for fossil fuels,” Ms Gripwall says.
