    In general,the harm of wasted masks to the sea is serious,so we must take action to stop it right now.We should leave them in a safe place and find a wise way to recycle them.

Which topic drew the most attention from people around the world in 2019?It was climate(气候) change, according to three well﹣known English dictionaries.

   The Oxford, Colls and Cambridge dictionaries chose"climate emergency", "climate strike" and"upcycling", respectively, as their"Word of the Year".This tells us that climate change was a widely﹣discussed issue(话题) in 2019.

   "Climate emergency"means a situation in which urgent action is needed to reduce climate change."Climates strike" refers to people leaving work or school to call for more action to protect the environment."Upcycling"refers to making new items out of old or used items to reduce waste.

   Climate change has already affected the world in many ways.Take Venice, for example.Due to climate change, Venice experienced the worst flooding(洪水) it has seen in the last 50 years in 2019.Many stores,restaurants and hotels were flooded.This caused serious damage toting hundreds of millions of euros(欧元).

   A though we've known about global warming(全球变暖) for a long time, people have been slow to respond to it.The year 2019 might have been the turning point that will finally encourage us to take responsibility.

   "Ten years ago, when the science on the climate issue was first increasing, the influences could be seen as an issue for future generations(子孙后代) , "Katharine, a climate scientist, told The New York Times."It's no doubt our issue now."

   However, simply realizing that climate change is a threat(威胁) is not enough.We must take real action before it is too late.

根据短文内容,用符合语义及语法规则的词填空,每空一词.

(1)The words"Climate Emergency", "Climate Stike"and"Upcycling"talked about     ,which was the hot issue in 2019.

(2)"Climate strike"means people call for more action to protect the environment   working or going to school.

(3)In 2019, Venice lost hundreds of millions of euros because many                          were flooded.

(4)What Katharine said means that      for us to think over the issue of climate change.

(5)We must do something on climate change   than simply think it is a threat.

Recently, China announced it had achieved success in drilling fire ice or methane hydrate(天然气水合物即,可燃冰), from the seabed in the shenhu area of the South China Sea. It produces high amount of energy when it is burned, leaving nothing but dioxide and water.

    Many countries, including the United States and Japan, have long been doing research on methane hydrate, but taking it from bottom of the sea has been a common problem they are facing.According to reports.China succeeded in drilling methane hydrate for a number of days continuously and got an average of over 16,000 m 3 daily. It is believed to be a big breakthrough.

    Scientists say there is about 21, 000 trillion( 万亿 )3 of methane hydrate in the world. If we can use it, it can meet the world's energy need for 1, 000 years. However, it is too early to say a new energy source (来源 ) has been found because we are still facing two main challenges﹣environmental risk and economic(经济的)cost. When methane hydrate is taken from the seabed, it may go into the air easily. That's very bad for the environment because methane is one of the worst greenhouse gases, Besides, drilling methane hydrate is very expensive as well.

    However, China's technology breakthrough is very important because it shows the way researchers across the world should take. It also raises hopes that one day we can drill methane hydrate as a source of energy.

(1)What is Paragraph I mainly about ?  

A. China is producing a large amount of energy from fire ice

B. China is making good use of fire ice throughout the country

C. China has already succeeded in drilling fire ice from the seabed

D. China has turned fire ice from the South China Sea into daily energy

(2)What's the common problem many countries are facing when doing research on fire ice?  

A. How to take it out from the bottom of the sea

B. How to turn it into useful energy at the lowest cost.

C. How to make it cheap on the future energy market.

D.How to change it into a traditional form of energy.

(3)Why is it too early to say a new energy source has been found?  

A. Because it's too difficult to find the place where the fire ice lies and how to drill it.

B. Because it's not easy for fire ice to go into the air and be good for the environment.

C. Because it s quite impossible for fire ice to take the place of other sources of energy

D.Because it's expensive to drill fire ice and it may do great harm to the environment
