This day even has a name: Earth Overshoot Day.The Global Footprint Network, a nonprofit organization based in the United States, Belgium and Switzerland, calculates this day. It has been marking EOD since about 1970 by keeping record of how much land, fish and forest we use, as well as how much CO2 we're emitting.Each year, the human population grows and more resources are used. That's why EOD has moved forward by more than two months over the last 20 years. In 2022, it fell on the earliest date yet.What can we do? Human beings are now using natural resources 1.75 times faster than they can be renewed, Quartz reported.This has affected the environment in a bad way. For instance, wildfires are becoming more frequent. Cities around the world are running out of water. Up to 1 million species （物种） could die out thanks to human activity, HuffPost reported.However, humans are taking some small steps to deal with the problem. Countries like China and India are trying their best to green the planet. But there's still a very long way to go, Science Alert noted.19. How does the writer lead in the topic in the passage?A.

Effective measures are taken now.D. 1 million species died out every year.CYears ago, I was traveling around Australia with two friends. At that time, both friends had to leave early because of work, so I decided to travel to the Whitsunday Islands alone.I got on a boat. Everyone on the boat, except me, was with friends. Not wanting to talk to strangers, I decided to take photos. The back of the boat was a good place to catch the wonderful view of the sea.I walked there and saw a metal box standing there. I put my arms on it, without knowing it was a hot barbecue （烧烤架）!“My goodness, it hurts!" crying in pain, I moved my arms away at once. Although there weren't marks on my arms, I was in great pain. And I didn't even have friends with me. I sat alone, trying not to cry. Finally my arms turned purple.People on the boat saw this and came to help me. One girl offered me a special scald cream（烫伤膏）.After treatment （治疗）,I felt much better. I could enjoy the beauty of the Whitsunday Islands, talk to strangers on the boat and have fun with them.It's not the conventiocalway to meet people, but it shows even burning your arms can become part of your trip, and make your trip better in the end.23.

Modern research has found something amazing: They do communicate with each other.It has been known for some time that plants use chemicals to communicate with each other. This happens when a plant gets attacked by insects. The plant gives out chemicals from the leaves that are being eaten. This is like a warning, or a call for help, "I'm being attacked!" When another plant gets the chemicals, it starts to give out its own, different chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others attract the bees! The bees kill the insects that are eating the plants. Scientists hope to learn more about this plant warning system, so that we can use it to grow more crops.More surprisingly, plants also use sound to communicate. People can't hear these sounds, but plants are making them. Some plants make noises with their roots. Corn and chili plants do this. Some trees make clicking noises when there is not enough water.Most surprisingly of all, plants have an amazing system of communication that can link nearly every plant in a forest. Scientists call this system the “wood wide web". The wood wide web is linked underground by fungi. It links the roots of different plants to each other. It is in some ways similar to the Internet we use. Using the wood wide web, plants can share information and even food with each other. However, it may lead to bad effects. Plants may use it to steal food from each other, or spread chemicals to attack other plants. Perhaps one day scientists will learn how to create a “firewall" to help prevent these attacks within the wood wide web.Scientists are learning more every day about the secret ways in which plants talk to each other. Maybe one day we will know enough about plant communication to be able to "talk" with them ourselves.27. What will plants do when they are attacked by insects?A. They will kill the insects by themselves.B. They will control the bees to kill the insects.C. They will produce chemicals to warn or call for help.D. They will send out signals to communicate with friends.28. How are the wood wide web linked by fungi?A. By making noises with their roots.B. By spreading chemicals to each other.C. By sharing food and information with each other.D. By connecting the roots of different plants to each other.29. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?A30. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Plants That Give WarningsB. The Secret Language of PlantsC. The Study About Plant Warning SystemD.
