The earth is about 4,600 million years old. Modern man has lived on the earth for only 35,000 years, but during that time, we have changed our planet(行星) in many ways. Many of the things that we have done are good, but more are not good for the earth.
Water pollution
A lot of people, birds and fish die each day because of water pollution. Factories have polluted the land and the water. As a result, many rivers and lakes are now dead.
Air pollution
In big cities, factories, as well as cars, trucks and buses are the main cause of air pollution. Many people in cities now have serious health problems. For example, Mexico city used to be a beautiful sunny capital, but today it is always covered by thick brown clouds.
Soil pollution
In order to have a good harvest(收成), most of the farmers use chemicals (化学的)too much in their fields. That’s bad for the soil. But this kind of pollution is difficult to stop.
Hope for the future
These problems are very serious for our future, so all of us should do something to improve our environment. If we can stop pollution, our planet will become more and more beautiful and our health will be better. Let’s be greener people!

The Earth has warmed by about half a degree (0.5度) over the last 100 years. It could be getting warmer on its own, but many scientists think people are making the Earth warmer by making a greenhouse effect (温室效应). The greenhouse effect is very important, Without it, the Earth would not be warm enough for us to live on. But just a little warmer than it is now could cause problems for humans, plants and animals.
Many of the things we do every day can change the Earth’s temperature. We send greenhouse gases (气体) into the air when we watch TV, turn on lights, dry hair, play video games, wash or dry our clothes or drive cars. The rubbish (waste) from factories and homes also produces (生产) greenhouse gases.
Even a small change in temperature can affect (影响) our weather. This can cause changes in the sea, the air, flooding (洪水) and our fresh water.
The change in the temperature can also cause changes in the living places for animals and plants.
Global warming (全球变暖) is a big problem, and we can do every little bit to help. We can also save many things. Remember: If you do a little, you can bring a better world.
1.Which of the following does not send greenhouse gases into the air?
A. Turning on a light. B. Walking to school.
C. Driving a car. D. Watching TV.
2.In this passage, the scientists are mainly trying to make the readers realize (意识到)________.
A. the earth could be getting warmer by itself
B. the earth is getting warmer in 100 years
C. the greenhouse effect is important
D. humans are making the earth warmer
3.Without the greenhouse effect, we would ________.
A. not be able to live B. be safer
C. have a cleaner earth D. have a better world
4.Global warming is a big problem, but ________.
A. we can’t do anything to help B. we don’t need to do anything
C. we can do something to help D. we can do something to stop it

April 22 is Earth Day. Everyone on Earth should care about and protect the earth!
The earth has warmed by about 1°F (华氏度) over the past 100 years, but why and how? Well, scientists are not quite sure. Maybe the earth gets warmer and warmer on its own. But many scientists say that people are doing many things which make the earth warmer. First, greenhouse effect (温室效应) is a very important reason for the change of the earth. People give out too much energy into the air every year. It makes the earth warmer. Climate (气候) change is another important reason. Sometimes it becomes too hot and sometimes too cold. Sometimes there is too much rain and sometimes too little. The change of the climate makes the earth warmer. In turn, the warmth of the earth changes the climate, too.
When the earth becomes warmer, there may be more rain and a rise in sea level. It will affect the growth of plants, animals and people. On a Pacific island, 100 people have to move to higher ground because the sea is rising. These people can no longer live on the coast. Before that, two islands without people went underwater in 1999. Scientists say that the seas can rise by nearly one meter by 2100.
People can affect the earth's air, land and water. As for us, we can do many things to protect the earth. For example, we can use fridges less. We can tell more people about protecting the earth.
1.Earth Day is probably set for people to ______.
A.learn more about the earth
B.make full use of the earth
C.take better care of the earth.
D.study the warmth of the earth
2.Greenhouse effect comes from______.
A.sea rising B.climate change
C.nature's unbalance D.people's activity
3.According to the passage, _______ many affect each other.
A. animals and island
B. climate and the warmth of the earth
C. fridges and animals
D. sea level and the growth of plants
4.We can infer (推断) from the passage that the reasons for the warmer earth are______ now.
A.not very clear B.completely secret
C.well known D.not given yet
5.The passage mainly tells us that ______.
A.there is more rain now
B.we should protect the earth
C.we must stop pollution
D.sea level is getting higher

八年级英语完型填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
Cyril Dick’s house is neither a modern house nor a house of the future. It is 40 years old. There are more houses like that in the south of France. They are called “bubble houses”, and you can see why!
Cyril Dick is a designer and he loves round things. He collects old records and clocks. He also collects round furniture. And now he has a completely round house.
Everything in the “bubble house” is round. The centre of the house is one very big bubble. This is both the living room and dining room. There are round armchairs, a round table, and a big round rug(地毯) in front of a round fireplace. Around the living room are three small bubbles. One bubble is a kitchen with round shelves, another bubble is the garden room, and the third bubble is a music room. Upstairs there are two more bubbles—a bedroom and a bathroom.
The doors and windows are also round, of course. The windows are like eyes. There aren’t any curtains(窗帘) in the house, because Cyril likes to see the garden all the time.
Bubble houses are the idea of a Hungarian architect(建筑师), Antti Lovag. “A lot of modern houses are bad for us, especially tall buildings of flats,” says Lovag. “Because round homes are more natural(自然的), people feel happy in them.” Cyril agrees with this. “Some people think my house is funny,” he says, “but for me, this is the perfect home.”
