    You may know several kinds of police, traffic police and street police. But have you ever heard of energy-saving (节能) police?

    A group of 22 new policemen went to work in Beijing. They went around the city to see the use of energy in hotels, office buildings, shopping centres and other public places. One of their aims is to make sure that these places have set their air conditioners (空调) no cooler than 26℃.

    They also set up a special phone hotline so that people can tell them which building doesn't follow the rule.

    "If everyone sets the air conditioner at 26℃, Beijing will save 400 million kilowatt-hours of electricity in one summer. That's one third of all the usage of the city in the season, said an advertisement."

    A show was held in Beijing last week on energy-saving technology (技术) and productions to introduce a green life to the public. Environmentally—friendly machines, like a machine that helps collect used bottles, have attracted lots of attention.

    "We want to tell people that there are some ways to protect the environment. Each of us can find effective (有效的) ways to do it in our daily life," said Liu Qianguang, an environmental engineer.

(1)、The job of the energy-saving policemen is ________.
A、to set the air conditioner cooler B、to check (检查) the use of energy in public C、to set up a special phone hotline D、to produce (生产) more energy
(2)、Beijing will use ________ million kilowatt-hours of electricity in one summer.
A、1, 200 B、800 C、400 D、133
(3)、The phrase "Environmentally—friendly" most probably means "________".

(4)、According to Liu Qianguang, ________.
A、there are few ways to protect the environment B、it's difficult to find good ways to save energy C、it's easy for us to do something good for the environment D、we can save only a little energy in our daily life

    Yang Nan, 17, was happy to move to her new home in a northern area of Beijing. She was told that her neighborhood used to be rich farmland planted with vegetables, corn and wheat. But looking at the new road, beautiful parks and supermarkets, to her surprise, Yang couldn't see any sign that food was once grown there.
    Yang is not alone. In recent years, many Chinese people have moved into new houses in country areas. Tall buildings have been built everywhere in the suburbs. The crops and fruit trees are no more grown there. But these changes have caused big problems too, warns Gan Zangchun, an official(官员)at the Ministry of Land and Resources(国土资源部).
    "Chinese cities are growing very fast. This has made the area for farmland much smaller than before. This is really bad for the country's ability to grow food, not to mention the lives of farmers," said Gan last Monday.
    As the population of China is growing all the time, the country needs more farmland to grow food for the increasing people of China. But the recent rise in house prices has made selling land a good business. A lot of land has been used to build new houses for sale. So you can see, the shortage of the farmland is now a very serious problem.
    Pollution, such as, oil pollution, industrial(工业) pollution and water pollution, which makes land useless, is another reason for the big drop in China's farmland. About 2.67 million square kilometers of land in China have been polluted and turned into desert.
    Today, can we use less farmland to grow enough food for more people? Of course not! The government wants China to have at least 120 million hectares(公顷) of farmland. Only in this way can we raise such a big population. But there are only about 121.8 million hectares left. "It will be really difficult to reach the goal", Gan said. He said that the government would fight illegal(非法的) land use and something useful must be done to stop farmland from becoming desert.

阅读下列短文, 从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项.

    Water has always been necessary for our health. Then what kind of water do you drink, tap water or bottled water? Do you get a healthier, safer and more refreshing(提神的) drink when you buy bottled water off the shelf? My answer is "no", and doing so hurts the environment and your wallet.

    First of all, there are no studies showing that bottled water is better for you, and in fact, it may be less safe than tap water. A study of over l, 000 people in Belfast found that they couldn't tell the differences between tap water and bottled water when asked which was purer, more pleasant, natural and refreshing. Bottled water can come from springs(泉水) or from the mountains. It can also be treated, for example, to have iron(铁) removed. It is reported that there is around 82.8g of CO2 for a half-liter(半公升) bottle. This will be harmful to people's health when everyone's drinking it. However, bottled water is popular with many people. Its success is from excellent marketing and our laziness in filling reusable bottles with tap water.

    Secondly, bottled water can cost between 500 to 1, 000 times more than dap water. In 2015, the UK drank 2.4 billion liters o of bottled water, and by 2016 this had risen to 2.6 billion liters. Yet, you get this from the tap, for free.

    Besides, recycling is improving, but in America, it is said that only a quarter of bottles can be used again. So is it really so much better that it is worth both paying for and harming the earth? Or should you stop buying it?

    As a general rude, I believe that most of us should enjoy more tap water, and stop using so many bottles.
