2. B 【点拨】根据“It is a small robot, and it collects heat(热量) from farms to make electricity(电).”可知，Super E 是指一种能发电的机器人。故选 B。
3. C 【点拨】根据“When Jack was 11, he started a group to teach kids about pandas. He also sold toy pandas to raise money to protect pandas in danger. ‘I hope to encourage more people to care about pandas,’ Jack says.”可知，杰克成立了一个小组来帮助大熊猫。故选 C。

【分析】
做这篇阅读理解的思路很清晰：首先第1题是主旨类题目，先看文章大标题和开篇总起句，明确全文核心主题，再逐一排除过于片面或者宽泛的错误选项；第2题属于细节定位题，直接带着关键词"Super E"去对应的板块找原文描述，匹配选项即可；第3题是细节判断题，把每个选项的内容都带回原文对应位置核对，排除和原文不符的错误表述，剩下的就是正确答案。
【解析】
1. 文章大标题为《Let's Protect the Environment》，开篇总起句也点明全世界的人都在为保护地球努力，四个年轻人的行动分别对应保护濒危熊猫、合理种植本土植物、环保发电、治理白色垃圾，全部围绕环境保护展开。选项A"英雄"表述太宽泛，选项B"志愿者"不能概括四人所有的行为，选项C"发明"仅对应Linda的部分内容，都不符合全文主题，因此选D。
2. 定位到Creating Energy板块，原文明确说明Super E是一个小型机器人，它从农场收集热量来发电。选项A和保护熊猫无关，选项C它不是组织，选项D它不是用来在农场劳作的机器，都不符合原文描述，因此选B。
3. 逐一核对选项：A选项Linda是发明了环保发电的设备，不是学习节约用电，表述错误；B选项Patrick的项目是对抗白色污染，不是空气污染，表述错误；C选项Jack11岁创办团体给孩子科普熊猫知识，还售卖玩具熊猫筹钱保护濒危熊猫，和原文内容完全一致，表述正确；D选项Kathy的书是帮助人们了解特定区域自然生长的植物，不是讲如何种植庄稼，表述错误。因此选C。
【答案】
1. D 2. B 3. C
