Designers are increasingly using different kinds of materials to produce products that do not harm the environment.Reused plastic bottles, wood, plant fiber, and even seaweed are being used in place of traditional materials for household goods and clothing.
Unusual materials
Nina Edwards Anker's candleholder and ceiling lamp look like ancient pieces of paper placed around electronic lights known as LEDs.But a closer look shows that they are made of algae (藻類). Anker came up with the idea while working on a doctoral research project at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design.
A show for new materials in Germany
Heimtextil is an international trade show, or fair, for new textiles in Frankfurt, Germany.This year's fair placed attention on making new products that came from reused materials.
“We'll see companies demonstrating how inorganic materials like nylon, plastic and metal can be reused，” Olaf Schmidt, a vice president of textiles and textile technology, said.
He added, “And there's seaweed, used to produce sound pad and panels that provided great insulation (隔音), are fire resistant and regulate humidity (濕度) well.”
Many companies using other materials
Many companies now using natural materials to produce goods. An Italian company has developed a plant based leather made from the waste created by apple juice makers. Another company helps support farms in the Philippines by using waste from the pineapple harvest to create material that is sold to makers of shoes, clothing and other products.

Oindrila Basu from India, 25, is a key member of a global forestry organization.
Back in her youth, she had to be taught the importance of nature.She used to ruin nests of the bulbul bird just for fun.Once, her mother caught her and forced her to find the eggs and replace the nest.With a heavy heart, the girl realized she had done something terrible.
This is just one way that Basu's parents shaped her understanding and appreciation of nature.Living in the countryside, she spent her youth studying ants before a rain, watching sunbirds drink bottlebrush nectar (花蜜), counting fireflies and watching seedlings grow.Then her parents decided to move to a nearby city with better educational opportunities and she stopped having first hand experiences with nature.
As she struggled to choose a college major, her mother suggested a career in forestry.That's when her journey began and she fell in love with forestry.Away from the crowded concrete cities, in the lap of the Himalayas, she got her bachelor's degree in forestry from Kumaun University, India.When she went on to study for a master's in forestry from the Forest Research Institute, India, she finally got introduced to a_like minded_group_of_people,_dedicated to the same cause — the International Forestry Students' Association (IFSA)．
IFSA is a global organization connecting students to exchange knowledge and participate in forestry activities.The youth joining IFSA are encouraged to undertake its task — to enrich forest education and spread a love for nature through events and intercultural exchanges.
After six months of exciting international conferences and workshops, Basu found her home — a family that loved forests as much as she did.She felt rejuvenated (重生的); her passion had a direction.Now she wanted to do more.
Now with the IFSA, Basu recalled her experience of joining, “Consciously or subconsciously we chose forestry, or rather, forestry chose us.”

A large number of people want to grow their own garden, but they simply do not have the room. Do not worry. There is a solution. Consider container gardening.
The great thing about container gardening is that you can use a variety of different containers. You simply have to use your imagination. You could create a beautiful garden with things such as cement blocks, hanging baskets, clay pots, or window boxes. There are so many options when it comes to container gardening; it is only limited by your imagination.
Of course, you will want to take the following into consideration when you are ready to begin container gardening, in order for it to be successful.
First, you should avoid any containers that have been used to store chemicals, as well as treated wood. This could lead to the sudden death of your flowers and lead to the failure of your container gardening.
With any container that you choose, you need to ensure that it allows the water in it to drain when necessary. So it may be important for you to create holes in the container to help this along. You should also make sure the containers are placed on a raised surface, not upon the floor, to ensure the best possible drainage.
Ensure that the containers you choose are appropriate in size for the plants you choose. You need to prevent the roots from overgrowing the container.
If you like fresh veggies, you could consider container gardening with vegetables. This requires a process that differs from that of flower gardening. Talk to an employee at a supply store in your area. They can help you choose the right containers for the vegetables you are wishing to grow.
8．Which of the following may be improper materials for container gardening
A．Cement blocks. B．Treated wood.
C．Window boxes. D．Clay pots.
9．What does the underlined word “drain” in paragraph 5 mean
A．To pick up. B．To give up.
C．To flow away. D．To gain popularity.
10．Compared to flower gardening, what do we know about vegetable gardening
A．It needs special containers. B．It requires more time.
C．It demands more water. D．It seems much easier.
11．Who may be interested in the text
A．People who have a big yard.
B．Citizens who enjoy gardening.
C．Farmers who are good at gardening.
D．Children who like outdoor activities.

The ocean is critical to all oxygen dependent life. But life is also critical to the ocean. The ocean produces so much oxygen because of ocean plants, which draw down CO and change it into carbon based sugars and oxygen. Ocean plants are climate change heroes! There is now a wide recognition of the role of ocean life in slowing climate change.
On many Pacific islands, whales support tourism economies. While concerned about the impacts of climate change on whales, we also need to recognize that whales can contribute to fighting climate change! Through their deep dives, vast migrations, long lifespan (壽命), and large bodies, whales have an enormous effect on the ocean.
Whales both help ocean plants to draw down CO and help to store carbon in the ocean. Firstly, they provide essential nutrients that enable ocean plants to grow. Whale waste is a fertilizer, bringing nutrients from the depths, where whales feed, to the surface, where plants need these nutrients to grow well. Migratory whales also bring nutrients with them from highly productive feeding grounds to the nutrient poor waters of whales' breeding grounds, boosting the growth of ocean plants across the ocean.
Secondly, whales keep the carbon locked in the ocean, out of the atmosphere, where it could otherwise contribute to climate change. Ocean plants produce carbon based sugars, but with a very short lifespan. They can't store the carbon. When they die, much carbon is released in surface waters, and can be changed back to CO2. Whales, however, can live for over a century, feeding on food chains that begin with the sugars in these tiny plants, and storing up the carbon in their bodies. When whales die, deep ocean life feeds on their remains, and the carbon formerly stored in whales' bodies can enter sediment (沉淀物). When carbon reaches deep ocean sediment, it is effectively locked away, and therefore unable to drive climate change. This carbon is unlikely to return as CO2 in the atmosphere.
Several Pacific island countries are already leaders in whale conservation, having declared whale sanctuaries in their waters. Every year, whales socialize, breed, and give birth in Pacific island waters.
12．How do surface ocean plants get nutrients for growth
A．From whale waste. B．From the whales' bodies.
C．From the sunlight. D．From ocean sediment.
13．Why are ocean plants unable to store the carbon
A．They lack nutrients for growth.
B．They never absorb carbon based sugars.
C．Carbon based sugars can't be generated by them.
D．The carbon in them is released after their death.
14．What does the underlined word “sanctuaries” in the last paragraph mean
A．Shelters. B．Imports.
C．Markets. D．Amusements.
15．What is the text mainly about
A．The importance of oceans to climate.
B．The bad effects of CO2 to climate changes.
C．The role of whales in slowing climate change.
D．The importance of oceans to all oxygen dependent life.

As is known to all, we are always consuming various foods. We have to spend large parts of our days finding, buying, cooking and eating our food. Did you ever think it might be nice to be able to make your own food like plants do？__16__ They perform a process called photosynthesis (光合作用) using light from the sun, water and carbon dioxide. The end result of this chemical reaction is sugar for the plant to “eat”．The plant gives off water and oxygen.
__17__ Plants have special structures called chloroplasts (葉綠體) that animals don't have. These structures are filled with chlorophyll (葉綠素), which gives leafy green plants their green color. Their main job is to absorb light from the sun. Chloroplasts can absorb every color except green. Light makes chlorophyll active. It creates an energy that separates water out into hydrogen and oxygen.
__18__ Hydrogen from the water combines with carbon from the carbon dioxide we breathe out. Oxygen is sent out into the air.
__19__ Plants rely on the carbon dioxide that we breathe out, and we rely on the oxygen that they “breathe” out. This is one good reason for protecting plant life on Earth. Many plants can produce a constant supply of oxygen for us. We need plants in order to survive.
Conservation projects around the globe are aimed at protecting our natural resources, including numerous species of plants. __20__
A．Plants are producers.
B．Chemical reactions take place.
C．Animals can't live without water.
D．People and plants make perfect partners.
E．So how do plants do it, and why can't we
F．There would be too much carbon dioxide in the air.
G．Our quality of life and the fresh air we breathe depend upon our green plant partners.

閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
Freddie Forbes stared in awe (敬畏) at the platform in the packed school hall. The headmaster marched onto the stage, followed by the captains of the school soccer team and rugby side. Freddie watched enviously (羨慕地) as each was presented with an honors jacket for their contribution to the school's sporting success over the previous year. When the next presentation of honors jacket would come around, Freddie knew there was little hope that he would be the receiver of one of these treasured items of clothing.
“I wish you all a happy summer holiday，” the headmaster announced. “Although most of you will be going away to sunnier parts, there are others who will be staying near their home. The local council has asked the school to undertake a project over the next six weeks to help clear up litter around the area and separate it for recycling. If anyone is interested, come to my office and you will be supplied with a litter picker, bags and heavy duty gloves.”
Freddie knew he would be at a loose end over the holiday, so he went to the office along with four other boys to pick up the equipment needed to gather up the rubbish which littered the streets around the school. When he arrived home, his mother looked at him curiously as he placed the equipment on the kitchen table.
“What is this all about？” she asked with a smile on her face. “Mum, I'm an average pupil and I'm not very good at sports，” he replied. “This waste recycling is one way I can contribute to the good name of the school.”
“Just as long as you don't get fed up and stop half way through，” said Mum.
“I have made up my mind to stick this out through thick and thin，” Freddie said confidently.
注意：1.續寫詞數應為150左右；　2.請按如下格式作答。
Over the next few weeks, the other boys dropped out of the project. 　
　
　
　
　
　
　
Hearing his name called by the headmaster，Freddie nervously made his way to the platform.

第一節(參考范文)
Dear Mike，
How's everything going I am writing to share some information about our class meeting with you.
To help the students develop the good habit of garbage classification, we held the class meeting whose topic was “waste sorting”. First, we watched a video about how to sort waste. Then, we were given questions to check whether we could classify waste correctly in our daily life. The activity turned out to be meaningful, through which we not only acquired a good knowledge of waste sorting but we also raised our awareness of protecting the environment.
Best wishes!
Yours，
Li Hua
第二節(參考范文)
Over the next few weeks, the other boys dropped out of the project. But Freddie kept on. Some of his friends laughed at him, thinking it was a waste of time. Nevertheless, Freddie decided to stick it out. The first day of the new school year soon arrived and once again the school hall was packed with pupils. When the headmaster appeared, he was carrying a certificate which bore the logo of the local council. “Welcome back，” he said, “The council has presented this certificate to the school in recognition of the work by one of our pupils. Freddie Forbes, please come to the platform.”
Hearing his name called by the headmaster, Freddie nervously made his way to the platform. The headmaster smiled at Freddie. “This certificate you have worked so hard to achieve will hang in the school office, but you will get a personal award too.” A teacher came onto the stage, bringing one of the honors jackets that Freddie had admired so much. The headmaster asked Freddie to remove his own jacket and helped him into the blazer that he thought he would never wear. As the pupils who had dropped out looked on enviously, Freddie knew that collecting waste was certainly not a waste of time.
