①
In China, this year marks the

20th year of the idea of "clear
waters and green mountains are
very valuable wealth (财富)". This scientific idea has
worked very well, and green factories have been a key
way to make it happen. By 2024, the energy China
used per unit of GDP had gone down by 11.6 percent,
compared to 2020.
②
On August 5, representatives

(代表) from 184 countries took
part in a meeting in Geneva. They
wanted to create a rule to cut down plastic pollution.
Outside the meeting, artist Benjamin put up The
Thinker's Burden. It was a copy (复制) of Auguste
Rodin's sculpture The Thinker, and this copy was
covered in plastic rubbish.
③
Brazil asked all countries to

hand in their plans to fight against
climate change before September
25. *These plans will then be discussed at the
international climate meeting that will be held in Belém
in November. So far, fewer than 30 countries have
shared their plans.
④
For the first time in more than

100 years, salmon can swim up
rivers from the Pacific Ocean to
Canada's Okanagan Lake—a journey of more than
600 miles. A new fishway helps salmon travel past
nine dams (坝) on their way. The Syilx people built it.
They said the return of the salmon is "a powerful act of
healing (治愈)".

本文为四则新闻：中国绿色工厂助“绿水青山”理念落地；各国就应对塑料污染问题在日内瓦召开会议；巴西促各国提交气候行动计划；加拿大新建鱼道助鲑鱼百年后洄游。
1. A 由画线词上文“……‘绿水青山就是金山银山’理念……这一科学理念成效显著……”可知，绿色工厂是推动该理念落地的关键途径。由此可推知，it指代“绿水青山就是金山银山”这个科学理念。
2. D 推理判断题。由第二则新闻可知，许多国家在日内瓦举行会议，想要制定一项条约以减少塑料污染，在该会场外，该作品覆盖着塑料垃圾。由此可推知，该作品的创意是为了让人们关注塑料污染问题。
3. B 推理判断题。由第三则新闻可知，巴西要求所有国家9月25日前提交其国家应对气候变化的行动计划，到目前，只有不到30个国家提交了他们的计划。由此可推知，要收集气候计划还有很多工作要做。
4. A 细节理解题。由第四则新闻第二句可知，一条新建的鱼道帮助鲑鱼在洄游途中穿越9座水坝。
5. C 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一则新闻主要介绍发展中国家可借鉴的绿色工厂经验；第二则新闻主要介绍各国就塑料污染问题举行会议；第三则新闻主要介绍巴西呼吁各国提交气候行动计划；第四则新闻主要介绍鲑鱼重回古老栖息地。
