Protecting the Blue Planet: Climate and Action

by Yolanda · 外刊改编 · 高考词汇标注版

Hello everyone. I'm Yolanda. Our planet is sending us a clear signal. Global temperatures are rising, ice is melting and the climate is changing faster than ever. Scientists warn that human activities — burning fossil fuels, cutting down forests and producing too much waste — are the main cause of this crisis.

▍Why Individual Action Matters

Many people feel that one person can't make a difference. But therealityis different. Small habits, whenmultipliedby millions, create hugechange. Turning off lights, taking public transport and refusing single-useplasticare simpleactionswith realimpact. Choosingrenewableenergy likesolarpower andrecyclingresourceshelpsreduceemissionsandpreserve our planet.

▍The Role of Government and Business

Individual efforts are not enoughon their own. Governments mustintroducestrongerpolicies,investin green technology andsupportsustainabledevelopment. Companies, too, should takeresponsibilityfor theirenvironmentalfootprint. When governments, businesses and citizens work together, thecombinationof efforts becomes a powerful force forprotection.

▍Education Holds the Key

Finally, education is the foundation of lasting change. When young people understand why nature matters and how their choices affect the world, they grow into adults who care. Schools can encourage students to plant trees, save water and think about the future. Every small step today helps secure a healthier tomorrow for all living things on Earth.

The blue planet is our only home. The future is not written yet — it is built by the choices we make every day. Let's act now, together, for the generations to come.

▍中文参考译文

大家好，我是山姆·史密斯。我们的星球正在发出清晰信号：全球气温上升、冰层融化、气候以前所未有的速度变化。科学家警告，人类活动——燃烧化石燃料、砍伐森林、制造过多垃圾——正是这场危机的主要原因。

个人行动为何重要：很多人觉得一个人的力量改变不了什么，但现实并非如此。小小的习惯，乘以千百万人，就会形成巨大的改变。随手关灯、乘坐公共交通、拒绝一次性塑料，都是影响真实而深远的简单行动。选择太阳能等可再生能源、回收资源，都能帮助减排、守护地球。

政府与企业的角色：仅靠个人努力是不够的。政府必须出台更有力的政策、投资绿色科技、支持可持续发展；企业也应对自己的环境足迹负责。当政府、企业和公民协同努力时，合力就会成为强大的保护力量。

教育是关键：最后，教育是持久改变的根基。当年轻人理解自然为何重要、自己的选择如何影响世界，他们就会长成关心环境的大人。学校可以鼓励学生植树、节水、思考未来。今天每迈出一小步，都在为地球上所有生灵守护一个更健康的明天。

蓝色星球是我们唯一的家。未来尚未写成——它由我们每天的选择铸就。让我们现在行动，一起，为了子孙后代。

第1题（主旨）：全文从「个人行动、政府企业、教育」三个层面论证如何保护地球，B项概括；A、D为细节，C偏离主题。

第2题（细节）：原文 "Small habits, when multiplied by millions, create huge change" 与B项同义。

第3题（词义）：由上下文 "Small habits ... create huge change" 可知 multiply 意为「成倍增加」，选C。

第4题（推断）：文章强调个人、政府、企业、教育协同（"work together"），B项正确；A、D绝对化，C与文意相反。
