C. Choose the best answer and complete the passage（选择最恰当的选项完成短文）(12分)
On a crisp morning in Stockholm, 23-year-old Erik laced up his trainers and headed out for his usual run. But this time, instead of a water bottle, he carried a plastic bag. That run marked the birth of a practice now known as plogging — a new and 1 sport that blends jogging with rubbish collection.
Erik, who had just moved from a small town to the capital, was struck by how filthy the city streets had become. He felt so 2 that he decided to turn his daily jog into a personal clean-up mission. He posted a few photos of his “litter runs” on social media, and within weeks, people 3 the world began to copy him. They ran past the city’s historic stone churches, past its glass-faced stadiums and through its leafy parks. 4 they pushed their hearts and lungs, they also swept away tonnes of waste that would otherwise have ended in waterways.
The trend soon crossed the Baltic Sea(波罗的海). Last year, more than 20 schools in Shanghai 5 plogging events on weekend mornings. Students wore gloves and carried reusable bags, turning their neighbourhoods into cleaner, safer places. “It 6 me feel really proud when I see the playground free of plastic,” one 14-year-old girl told a local reporter. “I used to think exercise was just about burning calories, but now I know I can keep fit and 7 the environment at the same time.”
Today, plogging is 8 just a sport — it has become a quiet civic ritual. From Sweden to China, thousands of ordinary runners are proving that environmental action need not be grand; it can start with a single bend and a lifted piece of trash.

D. Read the passage and complete the tasks（根据短文内容完成任务）
Wind turbines are famous for generating electricity without burning fossil fuels. However, this popular green energy source also has hidden environmental impacts.
The most immediate challenge involves solid waste pollution. While the metal towers of wind turbines are easily recyclable, their massive blades are made of a tough mixture of fiberglass and plastic resin. This material is incredibly difficult to break down. When old turbines are replaced, thousands of these giant blades are cut into pieces and buried in rural landfills, creating long-term physical waste.
Furthermore, wind farms have a direct influence on local animals. Because turbines are built along windy ridges and coastlines, they sit directly in the flight paths of migrating birds and bats. The large blades spin at high speeds, and animals often fail to see them, leading to fatal collisions. Additionally, massive wind farms can slightly alter the local micro-climate. The spinning blades mix the air layers, which can slightly warm the ground temperature underneath the turbines at night and alter local soil moisture.
Fortunately, scientists and engineers are actively developing smart solutions to ▲ these ecological costs. To protect wildlife, many modern wind farms now use automated radar and camera systems that detect approaching birds and temporarily shut down the spinning turbines. Painting one blade black is also a feasible method to help birds see and avoid them. To solve the pollution issue, manufacturing companies have successfully created new, fully recyclable chemical resins for future blades. These advanced materials can be dissolved and reused to make new products, ensuring that the future of wind energy becomes truly clean from start to finish.

Task 1: Answer the questions.
1. What are the massive blades of wind turbines made of?

2. How can the spinning blades of wind farms affect the local micro-climate?

3. What can be filled in the blank marked ▲ in the last paragraph?
Fortunately, scientists and engineers are actively developing smart solutions to these ecological costs.
4. After reading the passage, what can we infer about most people’s common view of wind energy?

5. Besides the solutions mentioned in the passage, what else can people do to make wind energy more friendly to wildlife or the environment? Please give ONE example.

Task 2:
6. Please give another example of clean energy you know and talk about what are its advantage(s) and disadvantage(s)? (about 30 words)

1. A tough mixture of fiberglass and plastic resin.
2. They mix the air layers, which can slightly warm the ground temperature underneath the turbines at night and alter local soil moisture.
3. reduce/balance/cut . . .
4. Most people see wind energy as a popular and clean green energy source and has no environmental cost.
5. People can build wind farms far away from the flight paths of migrating birds. /People can set up offshore wind farms in open seas . . .
6. Hydropower is another kind of clean energy. The advantage is that it is free and produces no harmful gas. However, building large dams can change the river system and force local people and animals to move away.
