The earth is facing a serious environmental crisis. Global warming, caused by the excessive emission of greenhouse gases, is leading to rising sea levels and more extreme weather conditions. In addition, pollution of the air, water and soil is endangering the survival of many species.
One of the major sources of pollution is industrial waste. Factories often discharge untreated waste into rivers and lakes, which not only kills fish and other aquatic life but also contaminates the water we drink. Another problem is deforestation. People cut down trees for various reasons, such as building materials and farmland expansion, which disrupts the ecological balance.
To address these issues, governments around the world have taken some measures. For example, they have set stricter environmental standards for industries and promoted the use of renewable energy sources. However, individual efforts also matter. We can start from small things, like reducing waste, recycling and using public transportation. Only by working together can we save our planet.

Many people struggle with maintaining a healthy lifestyle. One of the biggest challenges is finding the motivation to exercise regularly. Some people find it boring, while others are too busy to make time for it.

World Environment Day is celebrated annually on June 5th and was created to inspire people around the globe to take an active part in environmental protection and learn more about ways we can help to guarantee the future of our planet is safe.
The very first World Environment Day took place in 1974, established by the United Nations General Assembly on the first day of the Stockholm Conference on the human environment that took place in 1972.Each year the United Nations picks a theme and a host city where anyone who is concerned about the environment can talk about environmental topics with others, followed by different kinds of exhibits to promote environmental awareness. Environmentalists, academics and scientists come together to bring new ideas on the table concerning the environment.
The latest World Environment Day was hosted by India, and the theme was Beat Plastic Pollution. It urged people to explore and choose alternatives like paper or cloth bags to reduce the production and use of disposable plastic, which makes up 10% of all of the waste. Even though the United Nations picks a specific host city every year, people around the world still celebrate World Environment Day in their hometowns with parades(游行), concerts, cleaning, tree planting and all kinds of green actions to work towards having a beautiful planet and battling pollution.
World Environment Day is not a public holiday, so you won't be getting the day off work or school, but if you want to celebrate, why not bring it to the attention of your parents, friends, colleagues or classmates World Environment Day is all about working together to take action for the planet, so try to get everyone you know interested in helping do something. Things as small as making sure people have a way to recycle can make a difference. You could also try beautifying your neighborhood by planting gardens, learning about green foods, raising money for a local wildlife conservation group or simply learning about the effects of different products on the earth.
8.What do people do on World Environment Day

Many retirees spend time playing games like crossword puzzles, and social games like chess. These games keep people thinking and give their brains a good workout. But can they really help improve memory
The idea of using games that are specifically designed to brain training is very complicated, but research published in The Cambridge University Press has found that brain games certainly make people think and use acquired skills.
Brain games sharpen certain thinking skills like short-term memory decision making, planning skills, and reaction time according to Dr Julie Brody-Magid, clinical director of the Memory Disorders Assessment Clinic at Harvard-affiliated McLean Hospital. Many of these skills decrease as people age, especially after retirement.
“Learning to use your brain in response to other forms of stimulation can help strengthen valuable mental skills, which older people continue to need and rely on every day,” Brody-Magid said. The best way to build up cognitive reserve is to stay physically active, especially when you age, by taking care of your health, eating right and managing chronic diseases like high blood pressure, and diabetes. All of these go hand-in-hand with playing brain games. “In this way, participating in brain games actually can help with cognition, but it’s a team effort,” said Brody-Magid. “You can’t do it by doing crossword puzzles alone.”
So, if you want to mix it up and combine different types of brain boosting games, here’s a selection from Very Well Mind. Sudoku, a number placement game, relies on short-term memory and concentration. Crossword puzzles are the classic brain game that revolves around long-term memory and knowledge. You can also find them in newspapers and books. If you prefer online games, you can check out Braingle, a free site that has over 15,000 puzzles, riddles, and more. You can even create your own puzzles to get your creative juices flowing too.
So, play some brain games to exercise your brain cells and harvest all of the benefits.
12.What is the purpose of the games in Paragraph 2
A.To train brain. B.To improve creativity.
C.To work out physically. D.To get relaxed.
13.How can older people acquire strong mental power according to Brody-Magid
A.By only staying physically active. B.By exercising their brain frequently.
C.By participating in more team work. D.By stimulating their cognitive ability.
14.What does the author suggest doing to improve your creative ability
A.Relying on Sudoku. B.Doing crossword puzzles.
C.Checking out Braingle. D.Designing puzzles in person.
15.What is the text mainly about
A.The elderly should play more games than the young.
B.Brain games help people solve complicated problems.
C.Playing brain games helps improve your memory.
D.Crossword puzzles hold the secret of your creativity.

Solutions to Climate Change
There are personal lifestyle changes that you can make and that, to some extent, can help reduce your carbon impact. Not all are right for everybody. But applying just a few of them could make a difference.
Move closer to work.
Transportation is one of the leading sources of greenhouse gas emissions. 　16　 One way to dramatically cut transportation fuel needs is to move closer to work, use mass transportation, or switch to walking, cycling or some other modes of transport that does not require anything other than human energy.
Consume less.
　17　 Whether by quitting an automobile or employing a reusable grocery sack, cutting back on consumption results in fewer fossil fuels being burned to extract, produce and ship products around the globe.
　18

Similarly, employing more efficient refrigerators, air conditioners and other appliances can cut electricity bills. 　19　 You can turn the lights or your computers off when you leave the office.
Stop cutting down trees.
When purchasing wood products, such as furniture or flooring, buy used goods or, failing that, wood proved officially to have been sustainably harvested. The Amazon rainforest and other forests are more than the lung of the earth. 　20　
A.Be energy efficient.
B.Use few electrical appliances.
C.But it doesn't have to be that way.
D.Such efforts can also be usefully employed at work.
E.They may also be humans' short-term hope for limiting climate change.
F.The easiest way to cut back on greenhouse gas emissions is simply to buy less stuff.

第二节（满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Eight-year-old Lily was a curious little girl who loved exploring the world around her. One day, Lily’s mother asked her to go to the store to buy some groceries. Excited by the thought of being responsible, Lily happily walked along the streets, her small steps filled with purpose and enthusiasm. The sun was shining, and the air was filled with the scent (香味) of freshly baked bread from the nearby bakery, adding to her excitement.
As Lily walked into the store, she noticed a beautiful container of pink candies on the cashier’s desk. The candies were wrapped in sparking wrappers, and they seemed to call out to her. She really wanted to buy them. However, there was one problem-she didn’t have enough money to pay.
Then, Lily came up with an idea. She told herself it was just a little white lie and that no one would ever know. It seemed like a simple solution to her dilemma (困境). She quickly put the candies into her shopping bag and paid for the groceries, hoping that her secret would be safe.
That evening, Lily couldn’t help but feel regretful in her heart. The excitement of the day had faded, replaced by a heavy feeling of guilt. She knew that what she had done wasn’t right. Her conscience (良知) was eating away at her, causing her to lose sleep and feel restless. The candies, once a source of joy, now sat heavily in her stomach, a reminder of her actions.
The next morning, Lily’s mother noticed her daughter’s troubled expression and asked her what was wrong. Lily hesitated for a moment, the weight of her secret almost too much to bear. But then, the truth poured out of her mouth like a waterfall.
“Mom, I have something to tell you,” Lily said, tears welling up in her eyes, “I took some candies from the store without paying for them. I'm really sorry.” Her voice was small, but the sincerity in her words was clear.
Her mother’s face softened, and she pulled Lily into a warm hug. “Lily, I am proud of you for telling me the truth,” her mother said gently. “But it’s important to understand that lying, even about something small, can hurt others and ourselves. Let’s go back to the store and make things right.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Shortly, Lily and her mother were back at the store.

续写范文：
Shortly, Lily and her mother were back at the store.The doorbell chimed like a judge’s gavel. Lily’s sneakers squeaked against the linoleum as she approached the counter. “Mrs. Thompson…” she whispered, voice cracking. The older woman looked up, her smile freezing. Lily’s hand shook as she placed the candies—now sticky and misshapen—on the counter. “I stole them,” she blurted.
Mrs. Thompson’s eyes widened, then softened. “Oh, honey,” she said, rounding the counter. “I’m proud of you for coming back.” She hugged Lily, who stiffened in surprise. “Pay for them, and we’ll call it even. But next time, just ask—I’ll give you one for free.”
From that day on, Lily understood the importance of telling the truth.When her brother broke Mom’s vase, Lily said, “Let’s fix it together.” In high school, she confessed to copying homework and helped organize an anti-cheating campaign. Now, as a child therapist, she keeps a jar of pink candies on her desk. “These are for brave kids,” she tells them, “the ones who know saying ‘I’m sorry’ takes more courage than hiding.”
