 听下面一段独白，回答第10至第12三个小题。

M: I’m a plastic bottle. A week ago, I was on a supermarket shelf. I had a normal life and felt really happy. Then a tall woman picked me up and drank the water inside me. She threw me into a bin. I had never felt so empty in my life. Early the next morning, a man took me out of the bin. He threw me and the other rubbish into the back of a truck. Then I was pushed together with the rest of the rubbish. Soon I became much thinner. I slept for a while. When I woke up, I found myself in a terrible place. Everything around me was ugly and had terrible smells. I felt afraid. I kept hoping that I would be moved somewhere else. Then huge trucks came and covered us with earth.I asked another bottle what would happen to us. He said that we would never leave this terrible crowded place, but would have to stay here for thousands of years.

"Why can’t they reuse or recycle us?" I cried.

听下面一段对话，回答第13至第15三个小题。

M: Hello, everyone! Today I’m interviewing 12-year-old Ann about how to save the environment. So, Ann, how can we save the environment?

W: By cutting down air pollution.

M: Well, how can we do that?

W: I think everyone should use public transportation as often as possible. I began to take the bus to school at the age of nine.

M: Good idea! What about waste pollution?

W: I think wasting paper is the biggest problem. So recycling paper is important. It’s very easy.

M: Then how can children recycle paper, I mean, every day?

W: Well, for example, we can collect used paper and take it to a recycling center.

M: Well, that’s great! Thank you for your ideas.

第三节

  听下面一篇短文。按照你所听内容的先后顺序将下列图片排序。短文读两遍。

M: As time goes by, man is making the earth sick. People cut down too many trees and the animals lose their home. Factories let out their waste without doing anything to it. This has caused some serious problems. For example, the land is short of water and it becomes desert. The water in the river is very dirty and it kills lots of fish in it. The polluted air does great harm to people’s health. The temperature of the earth is rising, and our earth seems to shout for help. What shall we do to save her? My suggestion is that we should put the rubbish into the dustbins and stop factories from pouring waste directly into the air or rivers. We should also plant more trees every year. In a word, we have only one earth, we should do everything to protect her, or she will punish us.
