  随着社会的发展进步和人类自身环保意识的觉醒,越来越多的人意识到环境保护的重要性,并立志做一名合格的环保卫士。但是在环保这条路上,并不是一帆风顺,会遇见很多的困难。让我一起来看看下面文章的作者在“保护环境,拯救世界”这条路上经历的开心和不开心的事吧!
  I spent the first 20 years of my life terrified at what other people thought about me. I tried to minimize my natural laziness as much as possible, especially when it came to my closet (最隐秘的) idea: saving the world.
  It started when I was 13 and my favorite teen magazine arrived in the mail with a “Save the Earth, Girl!” cover. I remember it so clearly! It was filled with all sorts of easy tips to go green. Among many of the simple facts I learned that day, turning off the water while you brush your teeth saves 200 gallons (加侖)of water every year—per person! Lets just say I started doing that right away. I mean, it is kind of a big deal considering Earth doesnt have an unlimited amount of fresh water.
  My parents were both too eager to start recycling and reusing. I knew it was the right thing to do for the environment, but I was embarrassed every time my mom would dig a plastic bottle out of a public trashcan and put it in the recycling bag she kept in the trunk (后备箱)of the car.
  One day, the most popular girl in school, Julie M., laughed at me in front of my entire AP English class for drinking out of a reusable Thermos instead of a store?bought water bottle.
  I honestly thought I might die of shame. I slunk (偷偷摸摸地走)home that day and told my mom all the details.
  “Well, which do you like better,” she said gently, clearly used to this kind of public misunderstanding. “Julie or the planet?”
  And right then, something clicked. I actually hated Julie—she was tiresome and ridiculous. Why did I care what she—or anyone—thought about my behavior? At the end of the day I was proud of myself for helping the environment and I knew I was doing the right thing.
  So finally,I began to let my green flag fly! I collected magazines from my friends to recycle, and brought my own cup to Starbucks. And then the strangest thing happened: people started copying me.
  One by one, my friends began to flick off the lights(随手关灯), buy recycled notebooks, and feed paper back into the printer to make use of the other side. Its not that they were oh?so?passionate about the environment, but they were drawn to my confidence.
  The most popular people, not only in high school but in life, are those who stand proudly and say “Yeah, this is what Im into. WHAT.” Even if they dont share your enthusiasm, they will envy your confidence and want to be like you, and that means following your example.   [立意呈现]

  1.I spent the first 20 years of my life terrified at what other people thought about me. 在我人生的头20 年,我总会因为别人对我的看法而担心害怕。
  本句中terrified 为过去分词,作后置定语。 what为连接代词,引导宾语从句。

  Its not that..., but... 这是一个对称句型,表示“不是因为……而是因为……”

  Not only... but also... “不仅……而且……”。当not only... but also... 前后引导两个完整的句子时,not only 部分需要倒装,表达“不仅……而且……”。 关系代词who引导定语从句修饰 those。
  阅读策略指导
  全国乙卷的完形填空和阅读理解所选用的文本材料以第一人称的记叙文居多。在阅读时除了要把握好5W(who、what、when、when、why)和1H(how)外,更要体会主人公“我”所经历的故事情节,掌握了“我”的经历过程中的系列心理过程和行为过程,就能够以批判性思维评价故事的主人公。本文的主人公分享了自己从13岁到20岁之间因为热爱环保事业,而一路经历的心理变化和行为变化。最后升华到作者最想表达的思想:最受欢迎的人正是那些始终保持骄傲的姿态宣称“嗯,这就是我喜欢做的事,那又怎样?”的人。   Ⅰ.Reading for structure and plots.

  World Environment Day was established by the United Nations General Assembly(联合国大会) in 1972.

  This year on June the 5th,47th World Environment Day,UN Secretary?General Antonio Guterres delivered a speech on World Environment Day. The following is a part selected from his speech.
  ... A healthy planet is essential for a prosperous and peaceful future. We all have a role to play in protecting our only home, but it can be difficult to know what to do or where to start. Thats why this World Environment Day has just one request: beat plastic pollution.
  Our world is swamped (淹沒) by harmful plastic waste. If present trends continue, by 2050 our oceans will have more plastic than fish. On World Environment Day, the message is simple: reject single?use plastic. Refuse what you cant reuse. Together, we can chart a path to a cleaner, greener world.
