D(真题·宁波镇海)
Different from Earth Day which falls on April 22nd every year, Earth Hour has been known for its “lights off” moment. On March 22nd, 2025, from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM, millions turned off their lights to show they cared about the earth. This year’s Earth Hour, with the theme(主题)“Create the Biggest Hour for Earth”, was even more important because it shared the same day as World Water Day. However, it’s not enough to have such an hour every year. What matters is how we can be kinder to the earth every day.
Planet-friendly food
You might not realise it, but the meat industry has a huge influence on forests around the world. Large numbers of trees are cut down to make space for soy(大豆) and other plants that are used to feed animals. Have a chat with your parents about going meat-free, even for a few days every week. Also, foods like vegetables, fruit and nuts are helping the planet.
Go green and save money, too
Electricity produced by burning fuels like oil, coal and gas causes global warming and pollution. Ask your parents how they heat your home and suggest using green energy like wind or solar power. Another tip is to remember to turn off the electricity whenever you leave a room. Cutting down on screen time is actually good for both your health and the earth.
Waste less, help more
Waste is a big problem! We’ve talked about saving electricity. What about food waste? Every year, 1. 3 billion kilograms of food is wasted around the world. That’s one-third of the total amount, which can feed up to 1. 26 billion people. Try to talk to your parents about buying proper amount of food. More importantly, find some ways online for leftover food at home.

本文围绕“地球一小时”展开,介绍其活动形式、主题,以及呼吁人们日常践行环保行为。
第 28 题:细节理解题。解析:原文提到“今年地球一小时更重要,因为它和‘世界水日’同天”,而非“参与人数多”“主题是‘为地球创造更美好未来’”“更多人决定对地球更友善”;选项 C 直接对应“共享了‘世界水日’的日期”这一原因,A、B、D 均不符合原文。故答案为 C。
第 30 题:主旨大意题。解析:文章虽介绍了地球一小时的基本信息,但强调“重要的是日常如何善待地球”,并给出环保建议,核心目的是告诉我们日常帮助地球的方法;选项 A 介绍地球一小时事实、C 提供节电建议、D 对比地球日与地球一小时均是局部内容,并非主旨。故答案为 B。
