（2022·广西·中考真题）

①Walk or drive to work? Which way is lower in carbon（碳）? To be friendly to the environment, you may choose to walk. Have you ever tried to live a low-carbon life through your diet（日常饮食）?

②A new study from the University of Oxford has looked into the health and environmental influences of 15 foods common in western diets. Among these, plant-based（基于植物的）foods included fruits, vegetables, nuts and potatoes. It also studied animal-based foods, including red meat, chicken, milk products, eggs and fish.

③According to the study’s lead researcher, Michael Clark, “Choosing better and greener diets is one of the main ways people can improve their health and protect the environment.” That is to say, plant-based diets are much healthier for us and kinder to the environment.

④To get this result, researchers compared the influence of eating another portion（一份）of each food with the increased risk of a few illnesses. They also find out the environmental harm for each animal-based food and each plant-based food.

⑤By using this method, the study found that red meats were the most unfriendly foods to the environment. Keeping farm animals produces a large number of methane（甲烷）that keeps 30 times more heat than CO2. As well as making the earth warmer, eating too much red meat is known to increase the risk of a few illnesses, such as heart trouble.

⑥Plant-based diets can give us the same health benefits in a much greener way. According to the study, without eating or using meat and milk products, global farmland use could be cut down by more than 75% and still feed the world.

⑦Speaking to the Guardian, Tim Benton of Chatham House said, “If we can give people reasonable official advice of what a healthy and green diet is, the world and its people would be in a much better place.”

根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项，并在答题卡上将选定答案的字母标号涂黑。

21．Which one is animal-based food?

A．Milk products. B．Fruits. C．Potatoes. D．Vegetables.

22．What’s the result of this study?

A．Many people choose to walk to work. B．Plant-based diets are healthier and greener.

C．The more we eat, the better the environment is. D．15 foods common in western diets are not healthy.

23．What is the main idea of paragraph⑤?

A．The harm of CO2. B．The risk of heart trouble.

C．A reason for keeping animals. D．Two disadvantages of red meats.

24．What does “benefits” in paragraph mean in Chinese?

A．问题 B．方式 C．益处 D．状况

25．What will this study probably be used for?

A．Teaching farmers to plant vegetables correctly. B．Offering doctors new methods to treat patients.

（2022·海南·中考真题）

Do you ever find yourself standing in front of rubbish bins, not sure whether the piece of waste in your hand is recyclable or not? To solve this problem, four Hong Kong high school students have invented a smart rubbish bin that uses AI to sort(分类) the waste. The students named the bin Waste Collection Point.

Connected to a computer, the bin uses a camera to tell the kind of the waste it receives and sorts it into plastic, paper, glass, or other kinds. To make sure the bin can sort waste correctly, the team tested every product in the school shop and took at least500 pictures of each one. “To train the AI, we had to take many photos from different angles(角度), so it has a better rate of accuracy,” said one of the students who built the AI system.

The idea of the smart bin was born two years ago, when the students were in Grade Ten. At that time, people from the city crowded into their village because of the COVID-19. They left behind a lot of rubbish and caused more pollution.

“All the bins were full, and there was even rubbish on the mountain,” the students recalled, “Every weekend, we had to join the villagers in picking up the waste.”

The students decided to develop a special recycling bin that would encourage people to protect the environment. Although school ended at 2 pm, the team would continue to work on their invention until 6 or 7 pm at school. Even when their school was closed last year, they would still meet and work together online.

“Our bin is now in its third generation(代). Before graduation, we hope it can be widely used in the city.” The students said, “Then it will be easier than ever for people to recycle and protect our environment.”

26．According to the first paragraph we know the ________ of Waste Collection Point.

A．price B．size C．use

27．The underlined words “rate of accuracy” mean “________” in Chinese.

A．精准度 B．参与度 C．知名度

28．This chart shows why Waste Collection Point was developed. Which is the missing part?

A．the hit of the COVID-19 B．villagers’ encouragement C．picking up rubbish around

29．This passage is mainly about ________.

A．four young inventors B．a new invention C．the rubbish problem

30．How is this passage organized(组织)? (P=Paragraph)

A． B． C．

（2022·北京·中考真题）

What does it mean to be green? Green is more than just a color. It also means taking special steps to protect the environment. Buying a green product is a small step everyone can take. Deciding whether a product is green, however, isn’t always easy. We need to consider the whole life cycle of the product even after it’s of no use. Here is what we may keep in mind.

The materials of a product are usually our first focus (关注). What is it made of? Are there any harmful chemicals in it? Green products are made of more natural materials which are free from harmful chemicals, so they can be good for our physical health.

Packaging is important. How is a product packaged? Is it over packaged? We’d better choose glass, metal and paper packaging, as these can be reused or more easily recycled (回收利用). We can also look for less packaging or even choose unbagged products whenever possible.

Location (地点) matters. Where was a product produced? Where are we buying it? Think about how much energy was used to get it to us try to choose local products. When it comes to food, it is a good idea to order directly from local farmer, shop at markets and buy fruits in season. Buying from stores near our houses is also a good choice, because we can go there without driving a car.

Look into what the company tells us about their product. It’s easy to say that a product is “green” or “all natural” but the words may be too good to be true. So, much of the information about a product should be taken with a grain of salt. After all, companies try to make us believe that their products are environmentally responsible.

The greenest thing is certainly the one we don’t buy. Things like food and clothing are necessary for life. But many others are not. Better than buying is choosing to leave an unnecessary product in the store and doing without. It sends a message to the producer, keeps money in our pockets, reduces (减少) waste and keeps the planet healthy.

31．The writer would suggest choosing a product that is ________.

A．over packaged B．delivered from abroad

C．locally produced D．made of unnatural materials

32．The words “be taken with a grain of in salt” Paragraph 5 probably mean “________”.

A．be easily understood B．not be completely believed

C．be widely spread D．not be quickly forgotten

33．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．Buying Green B．Recycling Waste

C．Keeping Healthy D．Reducing Energy Use

（2022·辽宁沈阳·中考真题）

Would you try food made of rubbish? When world leaders got together at the UN for a meeting on climate(气候) change, they had a special lunch. The food was made from something that most of us would throw away. There was a salad made of vegetable scraps(剩菜叶). The leaders also had hamburgers made of fruit left over from juicing.

The UN said this reminded people about food waste and the bad influence it has on climate change. “Food waste is not often noticed in climate change, and that is shameful when so many people are in hunger.” said a government secretary.

Most people don’t even realize how much food they throw away every day. Sometimes they cook too much or they don’t use it in time. Every year more than one-third of all food produced worldwide goes to waste, according to the UN. Stop the waste, and the whole world could save $300 billion from wasted food. More importantly, it could also do less harm to the environment.

Think about a bag of cheese(奶酪). Before we buy it at the store, people have to raise the cows, deal with the milk, and drive to the shop to sell the cheese. If you throw the cheese away, you have wasted energy, fuel(燃料) and water, which give out greenhouse gases that add to global warming.

The UN said if we stop throwing good food away, we could cut down up to 17 million tons of CO₂. The good of that would be the same as taking one in every four cars off the road.

37．Why did the writer think the lunch was special?

A．Because the vegetables were made into juice.

B．Because the leaders had a salad and hamburgers.

C．Because food was cooked from something thrown away.

D．Because the lunch was prepared with different fresh fruits.

38．What does food waste influence at last?

A．Fuel. B．Cars. C．Cows. D．Climate.

39．What can you infer(推断) from the text?

A．Even small actions can help make our world better.

B．We should buy a bag of cheese from the supermarket.

C．Most people have already paid attention to food waste.

D．Saving food is more important than driving cars less often.

40．Which of the following is the best title of the text?

A．Cheese—Healthy for people B．A meeting—Traditional at the UN

C．Food waste—Bad for the environment D．Greenhouse gases—Dangerous to the Earth
