 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.

请用所听到的内容填写表格中所缺单词，每空限填一词。短文读两遍。

W：Hello, boys and girls! Today we will discuss something about water. Water is very important for us. We should try our best to save it in many ways. Here are some tips.

First, turn off the tap. Just turn off the tap when you brush your teeth in the morning and before bedtime. The same is true when you do the dishes. Second, save water when taking a shower. To save even more water, keep your shower less than five minutes long. Put a clock in the bathroom when you want to take a shower next time. Third, water your garden at a proper time. The best time to water your garden is in the early morning or late evening when it’s cool outside. Watering when it’s hot and sunny is wasteful because most of the water disappears before the plants have time to drink it.
