Climate change has brought a serious warning of not having enough water and animals disappearing if we don't care about Mother Nature. Indeed，many efforts have been made by different organizations，encouraging us to save the earth. These have certainly raised awareness of the environmental problems，and laws have been made by governments to reduce pollution. However，I don't think people are doing enough to protect the environment.
Every year about 9 million people die from pollution-related causes and that is three times more than deaths because of AIDS，tuberculosis and malaria. This number shows that many people pay little attention to the environment in their daily lives. And there're not enough actions to prevent the biodiversity(生物多样性)loss，climate change and pollution. What we need to do is to first relook at the way we live.
For the past 2 years，I have been trying to protect the environment. Firstly，I am more careful with the use of electricity. I used to turn on all the lights when entering a room. Now I make it a point to open the curtains and let natural light in. If it gets dark，I turn on only one light and make sure to turn it off when leaving the room. This has worked wonders and my parents are pleased too，as it has cut our electricity bill by 50 per cent. ①
Besides energy protection，I've formed the habit of bringing my own reusable bags wherever I go. This greatly reduces my need for plastic bags! Whenever I go shopping，I use my own reusable bags instead of plastic bags offered. It takes time and effort to wash up，but when I count the number of plastic bags that I would save with this small behaviour，it's well worth those extra minutes of my time. ②
Finally，being a carnivore(食肉动物)，I can never completely give up meat. Yet，after reading an article showing how a vegan(素食主义者)diet could cut global greenhouse emissions by about 70 per cent，I decided to do something—be vegetarian once a week. ③
At a UN meeting in December 2018，where over 200 countries met to find 9 practical ways to reduce carbon，the most important reminder was that we are the last generation that can stop climate change. ④

答案
D
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了气候变化和环境问题对人类生存的严重威胁，以及个人在环境保护方面可以采取的具体行动。
42. C 词义猜测题。根据第一段中“Indeed, many efforts have been made by different organizations, encouraging us to save the earth.”可知，“These”指代的是前面提到的各种组织为拯救地球所做的努力。故选 C。
43. B 段落大意题。根据第三、四、五段内容可知第三段讲述节约用电，第四段讲述使用可重复使用的袋子，第五段讲述减少肉类消费，这些都是作者保护环境的具体做法。故选 B。
44. B 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“At a UN meeting in December 2018, where over 200 countries met to find 9 practical ways to reduce carbon”可知，2018 年，200 多个国家齐聚一堂，寻找减少污染的方法。故选 B。
45. D 补全文章题。这句话表达的是希望为保护地球尽一份力，与最后一段中“the most important reminder was that we are the last generation that can stop climate change（最重要的提醒是，我们是能够阻止气候变化的最后一代人）”相呼应，因此放在④处最合适。故选 D。

解析
【分析】
这是一篇环保主题的阅读理解，解题时可以按题型逐个突破：
1. 第42题是词义猜测题，代词的指代内容通常要往前文查找，定位划线词"These"的前一句，找到对应的复数描述内容，就能匹配正确选项。
2. 第43题是段落大意题，先分别梳理第三、四、五段的核心内容，排除只覆盖单一段落的片面选项，选出能概括三段共同内容的答案。
3. 第44题是细节判断题，把每个选项逐一返回原文定位比对，和原文表述不符的直接排除，剩下的就是正确选项。
4. 第45题是语句还原题，先读懂待插入句子的含义，找到句子里的指代关系，匹配四个空位前后的逻辑衔接点，选出最通顺的位置。
【解析】
42. 定位第一段划线词"These"的前文内容："Indeed, many efforts have been made by different organizations, encouraging us to save the earth."，可知"These"指代的就是各类组织为鼓励人们拯救地球所付出的诸多努力，对应选项C。A选项文中无相关表述，B选项是"These"带来的结果，D选项是后文提到的政府出台的法律，均不符合指代逻辑。
43. 第三段介绍作者节约用电的环保做法，第四段介绍作者随身带可重复使用购物袋减少塑料消耗的做法，第五段介绍作者每周吃一次素降低碳排放的做法，三段内容都围绕作者自身践行环保的具体方式展开，A、C选项只覆盖第三段内容过于片面，D选项和段落核心不符，因此选B。
44. 逐一核对选项：A选项和第一段"However, I don't think people are doing enough to protect the environment"表述矛盾，错误；B选项对应最后一段"At a UN meeting in December 2018, where over 200 countries met to find 9 practical ways to reduce carbon"，减碳属于减少污染的范畴，表述正确；C选项和第二段"Every year about 9 million people die from pollution-related causes and that is three times more than deaths because of AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria"表述矛盾，错误；D选项和第三段"For the past 2 years, I have been trying to protect the environment"表述矛盾，错误。因此选B。
45. 待插入句子意为"如果这是真的，我希望我已经为保护我们所有人称之为家的地方尽了自己的一份力"，句中的"that"指代的是前文提到的"我们是能够阻止气候变化的最后一代人"这个论断，放在④处可以完美承接会议的结论，同时呼应前文作者所有的环保行动，逻辑衔接最顺畅，其余位置都在介绍作者某一项具体的环保行为，插入后逻辑不通，因此选D。
【答案】
42. C 43. B 44. B 45. D
