G(2024·四川遂宁)
Li Jin was born in Guangxi but raised in Sanya, Hainan. In the past 9 years, Li has made great efforts to protect the waters of Sanya. He is now spreading the knowledge of environmental protection. He does this through the Internet.
Around 2014, he began doing volunteer work to clear rubbish from the beaches and officially registered as a volunteer in May 2017. Li took the lead in a clean - up activity on the Sanya River. In April 2021, he used his own money to set up a volunteer service centre. The centre has 1,170 registered members who take part in all kinds of activities.
So far, he has spent about 3,800 hours on volunteer activities in over 550 events. More than 2,300 people have joined in the activities with his encouragement. They have drawn the attention of both adults and children to the importance of protecting oceans and beaches. His centre has organized 51 beach - cleaning activities which have seen about 1,800 people join in since it was set up.
In 2021, because of Li's growing influence in environmental protection circles, the city government invited him to make a number of short videos. In the videos, he used simple words to explain how to protect the environment. Several of the videos have been watched millions of times.
"Although many people speak highly of my work, what I have done is not for the compliment. I just want to make a difference to environmental protection. My volunteer work would be meaningless if I was paid. It is everyone's duty to protect environment. The work itself is of great value, so I will continue doing the environmental protection work," he said.

1. C 【点拨】根据“He is now spreading the knowledge of environmental protection. He does this through the Internet.”可知，他通过互联网传播环保知识。故选 C。
2. B 【点拨】根据“His centre has organized 51 beach - cleaning activities which have seen about 1, 800 people join in since it was set up.”可知，自成立以来，他的中心已组织了 51 次海滩清洁活动，约有 1800 人参加。故选 B。
3. D 【点拨】根据“Around 2014, he began doing volunteer work to clear rubbish from the beaches and officially registered as a volunteer in May 2017. Li took the lead in a clean - up activity on the Sanya River. In April 2021, he used his own money to set up a volunteer service centre.”和“In 2021, because of Li’s growing influence in environmental protection circles, the city government invited him to make a number of short videos.”可知，2014 年前后，他开始从事清理海滩垃圾的志愿者工作并带头打扫卫生；2021 年 4 月用自己的钱成立了一个志愿者服务中心；2021 年，由于他在环保圈的影响力越来越大，市政府邀请他制作了一些短视频。所以正确的顺序是③④①②。故选 D。
4. B 【点拨】根据“Although many people speak highly of my work, what I have done is not for the compliment.”可知，虽然很多人对李的工作评价很高，但他觉得自己所做的并不值得称赞，画线词与 praise 含义相近。故选 B。
5. A 【点拨】根据“I just want to make a difference to environmental protection. My volunteer work would be meaningless if I was paid. It is everyone’s duty to protect environment. The work itself is of great value, so I will continue doing the environmental protection work”可知，李金想为环境保护做贡献，觉得保护环境是每个人的责任，而且他会继续做环保工作，由此可知，李金是一个有责任心的人。
