When she first started learning about the climate change from one of her elders，F(xiàn)awn Sharp was invited on a helicopter flight over the Olympic Mountains to survey the Mount Anderson glacier.But the glacier was gone，melted by the warming climate.Sharp had a deep sense of loss when she discovered the glacier wasn't there anymore.
   Loss is a growing issue for people working and living on the front lines of climate change.And that gave Jennifer Wren Atkinson，a full-time lecturer at the University of Washington Bothell，US，an idea for a class.
   This term，she taught students on the Bothell campus about the emotional burdens of environmental studies.She used the experiences of Native American tribes（部落），scientists and activists，and asked her 24 students to face the reality that there is no easy fix - that "this is such an intractable problem that they're going to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives"．
   Student Cody Dillon used to be a climate science skeptic （懷疑論者）.Then he did his own reading and research，and changed his mind.Dillon wasn't going into environmental work - he was a computer-science major.Yet，the potential for a worldwide environmental catastrophe seemed so real to him five years ago that he quit his job and became a full-time volunteer for an environmental group that worked on restoration （恢復(fù)） projects.
   Six months into the work，he decided that Atkinson's class was just what he was looking for - a place where he could discuss his concerns about a changing climate.
Atkinson said she hopes the class helped her students prepare themselves for the amount of environmental loss that will happen over their lifetimes.
   "We are already changing the planet - so many species are going to be lost，displaced or massively impacted，" she said. "The future isn't going to be what they imagined."

  • 2．Microbiologists have designed a sustainable way to remove polluting microplastics from the environment by using bacteria.Initial design as it is，it paves the way for sustainably lowering plastic pollution levels and stop the"plastification".
       Bacteria naturally tend to group together and stick to surfaces，and this creates a sticky material called"biofilm".Researchers at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University （PolyU） want to use this adhesive bacteria character and capture microplastics in polluted water to form an easily disposable and recyclable blob（團(tuán)）.
       Sylvia Lang Liu，microbiology researcher at PolyU and lead researcher on this project，together with his team，has engineered a bacterial biofilm，which can fix and absorb microplastics floating around in the water，and make them sink to the bottom of the water.Then the researchers can separate the microplastics from the bacteria traps and get them ready to recycle.
       Microplastics are the plastic fragments，usually smaller than 5mm，which are accidentally released into the environment during production and breakdown of grocery bags or water bottles，or during everyday activities such as washing synthetic （合成的） clothes or using personal care products with scrubbing microbeads in them.Microplastics are visually tiny，making it challenging to develop effective solutions to trap，collect，and recycle them.
       Microplastics are not easily biodegradable （生物降解的） ，so they stick around for long and absorb and accumulate poisonous chemicals.They spread into wastewater and into the oceans，endangering marine animals and even usually threatening human health，.Microplastics had be on found in more than 114 species living in the water and also salt，lettuce，apples，and more in 2018 according to the International Maritime Organization.
       "This is an innovative application of biofilm engineering to address the plastic pollution crisis，" said Dr Joanna Sadler，researcher at University of Edinburgh，who was not involved in this study."One of the biggest challenges in dealing will microplastics is capturing such small particles Liu and co-workers have demonstrated an elegant solution to this problem，which holds great potential to be further developed into a real-world wastewater treatment technology，"

    （1）Which of the following best explains the underlined word"adhesive" in Paragraph 2？

    A．Floating.
    B．Sticky.
    C．Diverse.
    D．Visual.
    （2）Why are microplastics hard to capture？

    A．They are visually too small.
    B．They are hard to biodegrade.
    C．They continue to exist for long.
    D．They are poisonous chemicals.
    （3）What can be learned from the last paragraph？

    A．Small particles are essential to address water pollution .
    B．Biofilm has been widely used to settle plastic pollution.
    C．Sadler thinks little of the biofilm engineering application .
    D．Biofilm application is promising for wastewater treatment.
    （4）What is the text mainly about？

    A．Microplastic removal.
    B．Uses of bacteria.
    C．Wastewater treatment.
    D．Plastic pollution.

  • 3．Africa Water Week --nearly one billion people around the world have no access to drinking water，that lack of clean water association with un-proper hygiene and shortage of toilets kills 3.3 million a year．And this is a common problem in many parts of the developing world，but its effect is not widely known，according to experts at the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting．
       As part of the World Water Day tradition，the center is screening films about international water issues at the Environmental Film Festival in Washington，D．C．The films describe a variety of conflicts over water．
       "The challenge in presenting these films，" says Peter Sawyer，project coordinator at the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting， "is to share with a wider audience the urgent issues surrounding water．" "Our goal for this screening is to just get these issues out there，" he says． "We don't feel that they attract public attention and we think that they should because they are really important．"
       In Dhaka's Challenge，filmmaker Stephen Sapienza explores one of the fastest growing cities in Asia．He says one-third of the 15 million people in the Bangladeshi capital live in places where safe water is limited．Each year 400，000 newcomers join Dhaka's urban poor．City water from Dhaka's Water and Sewer Authority （WASA） comes at a price，available only to land owners．The film records how a non-profit group helped change the law to give the same equal water rights to the urban poor．
       Diabalok Sing Ha，who is the group's founder，said， "A win-win situation actually occurred because Dhaka WASA wanted their incomes and on the other hand，poor people wanted the service and they immediately see the economic advantage of getting Dhaka WASA water supply because that is cheap，so they immediately buy in．"
       "My story was just trying to point out that these problems are solvable on some level even if you have to start small and it's possible in the long run to save many lives，" says Sapienza．

    （1）Which of the following is the main purpose of the films？

    A．To show the number of people lacking clean water．
    B．To let more people know the serious water problems．
    C．To attract people to pay attention to the world conflicts．
    D．To get people to have a good knowledge of water．
    （2）What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about？

    A．Ways to get cheap water．
    B．The film Dhaka's Challenge．
    C．Filmmaker Stephen Sapienza．
    D．A non-profit group．
    （3）Which of the following does Diabalok Sing Ha agree with？

    A．Most people can't afford the water supply．
    B．Rich people in Dhaka will buy in at once．
    C．Poor people in Dhaka need the service of water．
    D．Dhaka WAS A will see soon the economic advantage．
    （4）What does Sapienza intend to tell us by making the film Dhaka's Challenge？

    A．The problem of water can possibly be solved．
    B．All the people cannot get city water from WASA．
    C．A win-win situation is expected by every filmmaker．
    D．Dhaka WASA is very popular with the local people．
