The government of French Polynesia has signed an agreement with an American company called the Seasteading Institute. They are considering building the world’s first floating city. French Polynesia is a collection of 100 islands in South Pacific Ocean which is controlled by France.

The Seasteading Institute wants to build a mini-city on floating platforms ( 平台 ) close to the coast of one of the islands. It is being designed as an independent town that will probably use clean sources of energy such as the sun and wind, and that will be non-polluting.

The question of who will control the new city and whether it will be run according to the laws of French Polynesia is something that is still being discussed.

Island nations like French Polynesia are in the greatest danger from global warming. When sea levels rise owing to melting snow and ice, low-lying islands could go under water. Therefore, such floating cities may be the way out for island people.

A ． It is only an island.

B ． It includes many islands.

C ． It is being controlled by England.

2 ． Island nations are very dangerous because of _________.

Show them respect by listening to them carefully. Look them in the eye.

Be honest. Honesty builds trust. Life is good when your parents trust you.

When you finish your talk, say something like: "Thanks，that helped". It will let them know this is important to you, and make them want to do it more often.

If you feel like there are still things to talk about, set up a time with them to talk about it another way.

Nancy started painting at the age of 5 and she was a ________ ( 天生的 ) artist.

Boyan Slat has been dreaming of cleaning up the world’s oceans for a long time.

In 2010, he went on a diving ( 潜水 ) vacation in Greece and was shocked. “I saw more plastic bags than fish in the water,” he said.

From then on, Slat began to pay more attention to ocean pollution. He decided to give up higher education and set up the Ocean Cleanup, a non-government organization. Its purpose is to clean up ocean rubbish. He has set up the world’s first ocean cleanup system ( 系统 ) with his team.

Every year, over 8 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans, and it can take up to 500 years to break down. In 2018, the World Economic Forum predicted that the weight of ocean plastic would match that of all the fish in our oceans by 2050. Sea animals easily get caught in plastic. They can’t move. They can even die if they eat it. Smaller plastic pieces can also enter the food chain ( 链 ) and end up in our bodies.

Slat’s plan was to create an environmentally-friendly, large system to clear out plastic rubbish from the ocean.

After seven years of tests, on October 2nd, 2019, a machine called System 001/B came out. It successfully caught and collected a large amount of plastic rubbish floating in the ocean.

Slat and his team are working to improve System 001/B ． Their dream is to clear out 90 percent of all the ocean plastic by 2040.

1 ． What did Boyan Slat care more about after his vacation in Greece?

A ． Diving. B ． Plastic bags.

C ． Ocean pollution. D ． Higher education.

2 ． How long does it take to break down 8 million tons of plastic?

A ． More than 7 years. B ． Up to 30 years.

C ． Less than 40 years. D ． About 500 years.

3 ． From the prediction of the World Economic Forum in 2018, we can learn ________.

A ． little pollution ends up in the ocean B ． ocean plastic pollution is serious

C ． animals prefer plastic D ． people like sea food

4 ． How did System 001/B work?

A ． It collected much plastic rubbish in the ocean.

B ． It dealt with all the rubbish in the ocean.

C ． It cleared out rubbish everywhere.

D ． It cleared out 90% of the plastic.
