導語：今年北京春天長久的霧霾天氣致使人們越來越關注環境問題、空氣質量問題。更多的人意識到環境問題刻不容緩。下面是一篇關於北京霧霾天氣的環保英語閱讀，幫助大家學習英語。
Hundreds of planes were grounded in Beijing on Monday and several freeways temporarily closed because of heavy smog and poor weather conditions, underscoring the growing cost of Beijing』s chronic air pollution.
周一，由於濃重的霧霾和糟糕的天氣條件，數百架飛機滯留北京，多條高速公路臨時關閉，凸顯出北京長期空氣污染所造成的成本日益升高。
By Monday evening, nearly 500 flights out of Beijing had been cancelled or delayed e to weather, according to the Beijing International Airport. Monday』s weather in Beijing was cloudy with a light snow and pollution readings described as 「hazardous」 by the US embassy』s pollution monitoring system.
據北京首都國際機場(Beijing International Airport)稱，至周一晚間，有近500個離京航班由於天氣原因而取消或延遲。北京周一的天氣為多雲見小雪，美國大使館的污染監測系統顯示的污染級別為「危險」。
Pollution has been a growing concern for China, which is home to 21 of the world』s 100 most polluted cities, as environmental degradation inflicts an ever higher economic and social cost. This year has been marked by a series of protests over pollution concerns, the largest of which in Dalian attracted more than 10,000 people.
隨著環境退化造成的經濟和社會成本日益上升，污染已經成為越來越受中國關注的問題。全球污染最嚴重的100個城市中，21個在中國。尤其在今年，針對污染問題，發生了一系列的抗議，其中規模最大的大連抗議吸引了1萬多人參加。
Smog is not uncommon in Beijing, however residents have grown increasingly vocal about air pollution in recent months because of a yawning discrepancy between Beijing』s official pollution data and the air pollution data published by the US embassy.
霧霾在北京並不罕見，但在最近幾個月，由於北京官方污染數據與美國大使館公布的空氣污染數據存在驚人的差異，居民對空氣污染發出了越來越強烈的質疑。
On Sunday, when heavy, acrid smog descended on Beijing, the municipal government described it as 「light pollution,」 although the US embassy』s data said it was off the charts. One reason for the difference is that Beijing monitors larger PM10 particles, while the US embassy monitors the small PM2.5 particles that are considered more dangerous to human health.
周日，北京突然籠罩在濃重、刺鼻的霧霾當中，市政府稱之為「輕度污染」，盡管美國大使館的數據表明污染指數已經「破表」。差異的一個原因是，北京方面監測的是較大的PM10顆粒(即粒徑在10微米以下的顆粒物——譯者注)，而美國大使館監測的是更小的、被認為對人體健康更加有害的PM2.5顆粒。
Environmentalist Ma Jun says that the public has become increasingly sceptical of the official data.
環境保護主義者馬軍表示，公眾對官方數據越來越持懷疑態度。
The health costs of China』s air pollution are also high. A 2007 study by the World Bank found that in China 350,000 people die prematurely each year from exposure to outdoor air pollution, with a further 300,000 premature deaths caused by indoor air pollution.
中國空氣污染的健康成本也非常高。世界銀行(World Bank) 2007年的一項研究發現，在中國，每年有35萬人由於室外空氣污染早亡，還有30萬人由於室內空氣污染早亡。
As China』s environmental problems mount, China』s leaders have described pollution as a 「threat to growth,」 but graal policy changes have yet to have a visible impact on reversing pollution trends.
隨著中國環境問題的加劇，中國領導人已經稱污染為一種「對增長的威脅」，但逐步的政策變化對扭轉污染趨勢尚未起到可見的作用。
China is in the process of revising air pollution monitoring guidelines and, e to increasing public pressure, announced last month that the new rules would require cities to monitor PM 2.5, the smaller, more dangerous particles.
中國正在修改空氣污染監測指引，並且，由於公眾壓力日益加大，中國在上個月宣布，新規則將要求各城市監測更小、更有害的PM2.5顆粒。
In another nod to the public outcry, Beijing recently opened its air pollution monitoring centre for public visits, albeit only once a week.
在公眾的質疑聲中，北京方面還做出了另一項舉動：最近向公眾開放了空氣污染監測中心，接受參觀，但每周僅開放一次。

My Views on Environmetal Protection

Nowadays, the world we live in is becoming more and more intolerable because of environmental destruction. Each day thousands of tons of gases come out of the exhausts of motor vehicles. Smoke from factories pollutes the air of instrialized areas and the surrounding areas of the countryside. Recently,haze weather has become a usual phenomenon here in large part of China. People are forced to wear the mask to avoid breathing poisonous air. Some people think it is impossible to solve the problem,however,from my opinion,if we find out the reason and take effective measures the environment can be better.

If we trace the cause for haze weather,the main points are as follows,first,our country's air quality standards are rather lax and evaluation factors are limited,so you will see that current air appraisal system has defects. Second,some people just go for economic interests instead of turning out procts according to relevant law and regulations. They tend to use obsolete equipment in which they are more likely to emit a great deal of wasted air. Third,across our society,the awareness of protecting the environment has not built up so that people haven't formed a habit of using green proct and saving energy as much as possible. If we don't take action to show respect to the environment, we will have to face an increasingly awful situation.

Therefore, effective measures should be taken and laws passed to conserve the environment. In my opinion, to protect the environment, the government must take even more concrete measures. First, people should be ecated to recognize the importance of the problems, to use modern methods of birth control, to conserve our natural resources and recycle our procts. Second, much more efforts should be made to put the policy of population into practice, because more people mean more pollution. Finally,laws concerning environmental protection should be put into effect and enforce strictly just as our government has been doing. To sum up,if we work together to take out such measures,our environment will get better and better and haze weather will vanish completely.

【篇三】保護環境英語作文

Today I am very glad here to share my opinionsabout the protection of environment.

With the development ofscience and technology ,different kinds of pollution has been proced andcaused global concern recently.

As we know, people have beenliving on the earth for thousands of years, human activity damaged natural environment, such as excessive abuse of natural resources ,the sewage dischargedfrom factories ,the animal slaughter ,kinds of chemical fertilizers andgreen-house effect. All that is mentioned above has a bad impact on the eco-system .Now, many animals aredying out. We are suffering from unhealthy food and water, we are faced withharmful rays and global warming. It was ourselves who had made a series oftroubles. As you can see, we are the final victim.

Above all, if we human beings cannot recognize theseserious problems and try our best to solve them soon, we would finally lose theenvironment suitable for us to live. So, it is our ty to protect theenvironment ,but what should we do to protect it?

In my opinion, the first and important thing is tounite all forces ,that is to say---gather all hearts together. Next we shouldprotect and plant more trees, which can dispose of the st in the air. As forfamilies, it is effective to ride bicycles rather than drive cars. Don』t litteranywhere as you like. In addition, sorting and recycling the rubbish also playan essential role in the protection of our earth. We』d better call on everyone arouns to lead a low-carbon life, as it may make a difference to the environment.

Thus, it』s high time that we did something to improveour surroundings. Everybody should raise the awareness to protect our motherearth. Let』s appeal to more people to join us.

All in all ,there』s no doubt that keeping the balanceof human and nature ,we will benefit a lot.

【篇四】保護環境英語作文

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.Write about the following topic:

The earth is being filled with waste material such as plastic bags and other rubbish. Is this really happening? What are some solutions to this problem?

Gives reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.Write at least 250 words.

model answer:

Over the past few decades, the increasing amount of instrial wastes and household garbage has become a major problem in many countries. People have questioned what caused this problem and what can be done to improve the situation. In my opinion, two of the most critical causes of this waste material problem are the increased consumption and a shortage of space for landfill.

To begin with, modern lifestyle has contributed greatly to the increasing amount of waste and garbage we proce everyday. In other words, we have turned into a materialistic and mass-consumption society where we use more and throw away more than ever before. Moreover, countries are running out of space to store garbage and waste material. In fact, securing land for waste disposal raises controversies in many countries.

To solve this intractable problem, every citizen needs to participate in procing less garbage. For example, we can bring our own personal shopping bags instead of using plastic bags provided by stores and shops. Besides, the government can enforce stricter laws on companies to use biodegradable packaging or use recycled material. Indeed, this alone can eliminate much of the waste which is sent to at land fills. Companies can also contribute by developing new raw material which is recyclable and will ultimately lead to less garbage. One good example of this is that tire companies develop new tires for cars which are not made of rubber but of new biodegradable material.

【篇五】保護環境英語作文

Many people are active in fighting against unfair treatment to colored people， women ， animals and so on。 Right now I am talking about fighting for respect to our environment。

Though the environment doesn』t have a mouth to deprecate what humans have done to her， she retaliates through action。 In the early years the Chinese cut down large quantities of trees， at the source of the yellow river， which led to the disappearance of big forests and terrible floods。 As a result，the Huangtu plateau which was once covered with grass and forests was turned into barrens that supported fewer plants。 Another example was in several developed countries。 Because many chemical factories discharged poisonous gas without filtering it， cities were covered with so much poisonous gas that people were killed by the air they breathed in。 What horrible scene!

What we are suffering is only a small part of what the nature once suffered。 If we don』t take action to show respect to the environment， we will have to face an increasingly awful situation。

Measures should be taken to protect the environment on which we are relying。 First governments should forbid destroying vegetation， rivers and lakes， oceans， as and the atmosphere as well。 Second voices should be made to announce the public of the importance of protecting the environment。 Third enterprises should pay special attention to the effect they have on the environment and work out solutions for the problems。

Only by changing the way we treat the environment can we get along well with it。 Only by saving the environment can we save ourselves。

Interviewer: Today, I'm interviewing nine-year-old Alex about her feelings on how people can help save the environment. So, Alex, how can we save the environment?

Alex: By saving water.

Alex: By not using too much water when we wash dishes, take a bath, and when we do other things, like watering the plants outside.

Interviewer: Oh, I think I can do that. What else?

Alex: When drinking or eating something outside, you should keep the garbage until you find a trashcan to put it in because littering makes our planet dirty. Do you like seeing trash all over the ground?

Interviewer: No, I don't. Do you have any final suggestions?

Alex: Yes. We shouldn't waste paper because trees are being cut down to make the paper. By recycling paper, we save the forests where animals live.

No one，regardless of race， religion or nationality， can deny that the world we live in is becoming increasingly intolerable because of the effects of global warming. According to many experts， even greater impacts are still on the way.

There are numerous causes for this problem. On one hand， human-related emissions of carbon into the atmosphere is causing， and will in the future cause， significant global warming according to the theory. On the other hand， the lack of knowledge about the importance of protecting environment hinders the solving of the problem.

It is urgent that immediate and effective actions should be taken right away. First， more trees need to be planted to help improve and beautify the environment. Besides， stricter laws concerning global warming and irresponsible use of fuel resources have to be put into effect and achieved good results. In a word， there is a long way to go before we can take a comfortable world for granted again.

保護環境的英語短文篇2
Man and His Environment

Throughout history man has changed his physical environment in order to improve his way of life. With the tools of technology he has altered many physical features of the earth. He has transformed woodlands and prairies into farms and made lakes and reserviors out of rivers for irrigation purposes or hydroelectric power. Man has also modified the face of the earth by draining marshes and cutting through mountains to build roads and railways.

However, man's changes to the physical environment have not always had beneficial results. Today, pollution of the air and water is an increasing danger to the health of the planet. Each day thousands of tons of gases come out of the exhausts of motor vehicles. Smoke from factories pollutes the air of instrialized areas and the surrounding areas of the countryside. The pollution of water is equally harmful. The whole ecological balance of the sea is being changed and instrial wastes have already made many rivers lifeless.

Now environmental protection is more pressing than ever before. As we know, massive destruction of environment has brought about negative effects and even poses a great threat to man's existence. Indifference to these problems will mean committing suicide. Therefore, effective measures should be taken and laws passed to conserve environment. Otherwise,man is certain to suffer from the serious consequences caused by this lack of care for his living surroundings.
保護環境的英語短文篇3
There are still many problems of environmental protection in recent years. One of the most serious problems is the serious pollution of air, water and soil. the polluted air does great harm to people's health. The polluted water causes diseases and death. What is more, vegetation had been greatly reced with the rapid growth of modern cities.

To protect the environment, governments of many countries have done a lot. Legislative steps have been introced to control air pollution, to protect the forest and sea resources and to stop any environmental pollution. Therefore, governments are playing the most important role in the environmental protection today.

In my opinion, to protect environment, the government must take even more concrete measures. First, it should let people fully realize the importance of environmental protection through ecation. Second, much more efforts should be made to put the population planning policy into practice, because more people means more people means more pollution. Finally, those who destroy the environment intentionally should be severely punished. We should let them know that destroying environment means destroying mankind themselves.

目前環保還存在著許多問題。最嚴重的問題就是空氣、水和土壤的嚴重污染。污染的空氣對人類的健康十分有害。污染的水引起疼病，造成死亡。更有甚者，隨著現代社會的迅速擴建，植被大大的減少。

為了保護環境，各國政府做了大量的工作。採用了立法 措施 控制大氣污染，保護森林資源和海洋資源，制止任何環境污染。因此，在當今的環保中政府起著最重要的作用。

我的看法是，為了保護環境，政府應當採取更具體的措施。首先，應當通過 教育 的 方法 使人們充分謒到環境保護的重要性。第二，應更加努力把計劃生育政策付諸實施，因為人口多就意味著污染嚴重。最後，要嚴懲那些故意破壞環境者。使他們破壞環境就是毀滅人類自己。

⑹ 六篇英語閱讀理解

Unit 8 生態環境類
Passage 1
Green peace has identified global climate change as one of the greatest threats to the planet. Governments and scientists alike have agreed that the problem is real and serious.
Last year at the climate summit in Kyoto, instrialized countries agreed, at least on paper, to rece the amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases they pump into the atmosphere. But crucial details, upon which the success or failure of the agreement rests, are still under negotiation, and in the meantime little real action is being taken to address the problem.
Greenpeace is therefore campaigning for governments to face up to their responsibilities and urgently address this problem. The longer action is delayed, the more drastic it will need to be in order to avoid dangerous interference with the planet』s climate from the so-called greenhouse gases.
Governments should be leading the way to a fundamentally new energy direction based on clean renewable energy, like wind or solar power. But at present many governments instead use taxpayers』 money to support the agenda of the companies, which continue to spend billions of dollars on development of coal, oil or gas—the climate-damaging fossil fuels.
Scientists estimate that we can only afford to release a limited amount of carbon into the atmosphere, otherwise, we pass the 「safe」 limits of climate change. It is at this point that climate change happens so last that ecosystems are unable to adapt. Greenpeace believes that a temperature increase of 1℃ is the absolute maximum that should be at-lowed. The amount of carbon that we can release to keep within these limits can be calculated and is in the range of 112.5 to 337.5 billion tons of carbon over the next 100 years.
But instry already has around four times this amount of carbon—over one thousand billion tons—in existing reserves of oil, coal and gas. This means that three quarters of the oil, coal and gas already found cannot be burned if we want to avoid dangerous climate change. If we continue burning fossil fuels at present levels, the 「safe」 limit of 1℃will be reached in just 40 years. That is why we have to start recing carbon dioxide emissions immediately and prepare for an orderly phase out of fossil fuels. Greenpeace calls this the 「carbon logic」.
The oil companies alone have already found enough oil to cause dangerous climate Change. Yet they continue to look for more. And of course once they have invested in finding the oil, they will not be prepared to give up their right to pump it out and sell it. The effects on the climate could be catastrophic.

1. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Both governments and scientists have realized that global climate change is one of the
greatest threats to the planet.
B. At the climate summit in Kyoto, many countries planned to protect the atmosphere.
C. The atmosphere protection is still in the air.
D. Instrialized countries have reced the amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouses they pump into the atmosphere.
2. According to the author, governments should_______.
A. support the companies to continue their development of coal, oil or gas
B. advocate the use of clean renewable energy like wind of solar power
C.not waste taxpayers』 money to develop new energy
D.prohibit the further exploration of the fossil fuels, only allowing the companies to burn the existing reserves already found
3. A suitable title for the passage is________.
A. Green peace』s International Campaign to Save the Climate
B. The Carbon Logic
C. Climate Change
D. Fossil Fuels
4. The author has a（n）________attitude towards our climate.
A. worried B. critical C. negative D. objective
5. What does the word 「catastrophic」 in Line 4 of the last paragraph mean?
A. far-reaching B. irresponsible
C. disastrous D. irrespective

【答案與解析】
1.D 本文第一段講到，綠色和平組織認為全球氣候變化是對地球的最大威脅之一，政府和科學家都已認識到這一問題非常嚴重。去年在京都的最高級會議上，發達國家至少在書面上都同意減少二氧化碳和其他引起溫室效應的氣體在大氣中的排放量，可是涉及這一協議成敗的關鍵細節仍在談判中，同時未見解決這一問題的具體行動。由此可見，A、B、C正確，D不正確。
2.B 第三段第一句話說，政府應該帶頭使用全新的能源，如風能、太陽能這些清潔、可再利用的能源。故本題選B。
3.A 全文主要講了綠色和平組織對全球氣候變化的擔憂，以及呼籲政府承擔起自己的責任，立即解決這一問題。因此文章標題應為A。

The environmental protection is the most major problem which in the modern life the humanity faces. Must solve this problem must start from foundation.

Environmental problems are becoming more and more serious all over the world. For example, cars have made the air unhealthy for people to breathe and poisonous gas is given off by factories. Trees on the hills have been cut down and waste water is being poured continuously into rivers.Furthermore, wherever we go today, we can find rubbish carelessly disposed. Pollution is, in fact, threatening our existence.The earth is our home and we have the ty to take care of it for ourselves and for our later generations. Fortunately, more and more people have realized these problems. Measures have been taken to cope with these problems by the government. Laws have been passed to stop pollution. I hope the problem will be solved in the near future and our home will become better and better.

Development and the Environment

It is undeniable that the worsening environment has become the biggest concern of the present-day world. Land resources are dwindling because of water loss and soil erosion. Waste gases poison the air we breathe. The rivers and lakes are polluted by waste mped in them from factories. It is probably no exaggeration to say that deterioration of the quality of the environment threatens the existence of mankind itself.

Some people are of the opinion that the environmental problem is the price we have to pay for economic development. But I do not think that this argument is valid. After all, what is the point of economic growth if people's lives are adversely alfected by worsening environmental pollution?

There is plenty of evidence to show that sustainable development can be achieved by balancing economic growth with protection of the environment. The key to achieving this is to make people aware of the seriousness of the problem. Both governments and ordinary citizens should join hands to make this world a better place to live in, not only for ourselves, but also for future generations.

環境與發展

不可否認的是環境惡化已成為當今世界上人們最擔心的事了。因為水資源的浪費和土壤被侵蝕，土地資源逐漸縮小。我們呼吸著有毒的空氣，河流和湖泊也被附近的工廠里排放出來的廢棄物嚴重污染了。不誇大其詞地說，環境質量的惡化很可能威脅人類的生存。

有些人說環境問題是我們為經濟發展所付出的代價。對此，我不敢苟同。如果人類的生活被日益惡化的環境污染所影響的話，那麼，經濟發展的意義何在?

足夠的證據表明：經濟發展與環境保護的平衡可以實現可持續發展。關鍵是使人們意識到問題的嚴重性。政府和普通市民兩方都應該攜手使地球成為更適合人類居住的地方，這不僅是為我們自己，也是為我們的後代。

⑻ 求一篇關於環境保護的高一英語閱讀理解

A desert is a beautiful land of silence and space. The sun shines, the wind blows, and time and space seem endless. Nothing is soft. The sand and rocks are hard, and many of the plants even have hard needles instead of leaves. The size and location(分布) of the world』s deserts are always changing. Over millions of years, as climates change and mountains rise, new dry and wet areas develop. But within the last 100 yeas, deserts have been growing at a frightening speed. This is partly because of natural changes, but the greatest makers are humans.Humans can make deserts, but humans can also prevent their growth. Algeria Mauritania is planting a similar wall around Nouakchott, the capital. Iran puts a thin covering of petroleum(石油) on sandy areas and plants trees. The oil keeps the water and small trees in the land, and men on motorcycles(摩托車) keep the sheep and goats away. The USSR and India are building long canals to bring water to desert areas.

1. In this passage, 「needles」 refers to ___.
A. small, thin pieces of steel. B. long, thinieces of branches.
C. small pointed growth on the stem(莖) of a plant. D. small, thin pieces of sticks.

2. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. The greatest desert makers are humans. B. There aren』t any living things in the deserts.
C. Deserts have been growing quickly. D. The size of the deserts is always changing.

3. People in some countries are fighting a battle against __.
A. the growth of deserts B. the disappearance of desert plants
C. natural changes D. congenital climate

4. We can guess that Mauritania and Algeria belong to __.
A. Asian countries B. American countries

C. European counties D. African countries

【答案與解析】文章主要講的是人們正採取措施控制和治理沙漠。

1. C。詞彙猜測題。從instead of leaves可知needles是沙漠中植物的葉子，眾所周知沙漠中植物的葉子是針狀的, 再看steel(鋼) 、) branches(樹枝) 、stick(棒) 都不是與葉對應的物體, 只有C項(長在植物莖上的尖的小物體)是「是針狀葉」的意思，故答案選C。

2. B。細節題。從many of the plants even have hard needles instead of leaves可知B項錯誤。

3. A。細節題。從Humans can make deserts, but humans can also prevent their growth(認為可能造成沙漠，但人類也可以防止沙漠的增長)可知答案A正確。

4. D。推斷題。根據常識非洲沙漠遠近聞名, 這說明那裡最需要治理, 作者舉例也會舉典型的, 增加文章的可信度，故答案選D。

Once man did not have to think about the protection of his environment. There were few people on the earth, and natural resources seemed to be unlimited.

Today things are different. The world has bee too crowded. We are using up our natural resources,and polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, human life on earth will not survive.

We realize that if too many fish are taken from the sea, there will soon be none left. Yet,with modern fishing methods, more and more fish are caught.We know that if too many trees are cut down, forests will disappear. Yet, we continue to use powerful machines to cut down more and more trees. We see that if rivers are polluted with waste procts, we will die. Yet, waste procts are

still put into rivers.

We know that if the population continues to rise at the present rate, in a few years, there won't be enough food.What can we do to solve these problems?

If we eat more vegetables and less meat, there will be more food available. Land for crops feeds five times more people than land where animals are kept.

Our natural resources will last longer if we learn to recycie them.

The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth control.

怎樣發展低碳經濟

現在這些年已經有很多關於保護環境的問題。其中最嚴重的一個問題就是溫室氣體排放已經造成了氣候改變。同時，很多樹木被砍伐掉了，而且大量別的資源已經被用完或者浪費。所以我們的地球變得越來越溫暖熱。這樣帶給我們的是疾病和死亡。。

幸運的是，很多國家已經採取了很多措施來控制環境污染問題。如今，這是最重要保護環境的措施。

我認為，一方面，雖然教育我們應該讓人們意識到破壞環境就是傷害人類自己。另一方面，我們應該盡力做一些事情來控制溫室氣體增長。

總之，我們必須發展低碳經濟。。。
