阅读理解

    When he was 9 years old, Felix Finkbeiner was asked to give a speech in class on climate(气候) change. The young German spoke about depredation(砍伐森林) and its influences on the planet. At the end of his talk, he called on the people of his county to help by planting one milling trees. __________________. Before he was 20, however, Finkbeiner's hard work had resulted in the planting of more than 14,00000, 000 trees around the world.

    Finkbeiner and his classmates began the project - named "Plant – for – the - Planet" –by planting the first tree outside their school. Other schools followed the example, and news of the one-million project began to spread. As a result, Finkbeiner was even given an invitation to speak at the European Parliament. Other invitations soon followed, and when he was just 13, he spoke at a United Nations conference in New York. "We don't think that adults(成年人) alone will save our future," he said in the speech. "We have to take our future in our own hands."

    Finkbeiner is now in his twenties, and Plant-for-the- Planet has grown to be an organization with around 70,000 members. It works to teach people about climate change and to challenge them to plant more trees. Germany's one millionth tree was planted long ago. The goal now is to plant 1,000,000,000,000 trees - about 150 for every person on Earth.

    Finkbeiner continues to give talks on climate change to world leaders. "I don't think we can give up on this generation(一代人) of adults," he says, "and wait 20 or 30 years for our generation to come to power. We don't have that time. All we can do is push present world leaders in the right direction."

A、the problems that deforestation causes for our planet B、the push from the younger generation to world leaders C、how planting trees can help the environment on the earth D、how a young person has made a difference to the environment

 阅读下面语篇,从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中, 选出各题的最佳选项。

 During lunchtime in Shenzhen, workers often line up to buy food from street vendors(小贩). But in the past, they weren't allowed to set up their stalls(摊位) anywhere on the streets in China. The stalls were believed to be bad for the image of a city." We have to keep the streets clean and tidy," the city government of Beijing once said.

 Things, though, began to change in recent months. In March, Shanghai and Hangzhou worked out detailed plans for stall businesses. And now Shenzhen is also preparing to welcome back street vendors. On April 28, it announced new guidelines on the management of street vending. Under the rules, street vendors will be allowed to operate in certain areas within the city. The new rules worked out on September 1,2023.

 Most people are glad to see vendors getting back on the streets."I think it's good and convenient," said one user on Weibo." Vendors can make money, while customers will have more choice."

 Street vending has long been considered as a lowly job in China. But in 2020, former Premier Li Keqiang pointed out that street vendors were the" lifeblood" of the country. Since then, many Chinese young people have seen the business as a way to get away from the stress of traditional work culture. Some of them can now be seen setting up stalls on weekends in Shanghai.
