9、e the Urubamba Valley, is one of the most breathtakingly beautiful landscapes. Splendid terraces made by the Incas stretch out into the vast highland. Fields of potato and corn plants form a textile of shadesgreen, red and gold. Sweeping views of snow-covered peaks rule the horizon. But machines beg

10、an clearing ground for an international airport in Chinchero now. This doubtful project would damage the heartland of the Inca civilisation. Its ancient archaeological sites and rich plants and animals would be disrupted by noise, traffic, pollution and uncontrolled urbanisation. It is puzzling why

11、anyone would choose to build a multimillion-dollar international airport in this peaceful spot high up in the clouds. At nearly 12, 400 feet, 1, 500 feet higher than Cuzcos airport some 20 miles away, it would be one of the worlds highest commercial airports. The mountains surrounding Chinchero, not

12、 to mention the fog, winds and hailstorms at these altitudes, can make landing and take-off dangerous. A flood of articles in science and travel magazines have blamed the project. The objection is not surprising; the ancient Machu Picchu, which is in the Cuzco region, was recognised one of the New S

13、even Wonders of the World in 2007. The site draws up to 5, 600 foreign visitors daily, more than double the 2, 500 recommended by UNESCO. The new airport could quadruple(使变为四倍) tourists, to 6 million from 1. 5 million a year, which would mean a burden of 22, 000 visitors a day. President Vizcarra su

14、pported the project in 2018 as a way to get support in southern Peru. The airports construction could reduce the watershed of Lake Piuray, an important source of water for Cuzco.

18、t We all probably have a lot of T-shirts, but do you ever stop and think about the influence of a T-shirt on the planet? Youd probably be surprised to learn whats involved in the life cycle of just one T-shirt. There are 5 major stages: material, production, shipping, use and disposal. The material

19、stage involves farming, irrigating, fertilising and harvesting, etc. While cotton is a natural fibre (纤维制品) and not as harmful to the environment as man-made fibres, it still takes a toll in the material and production stages. Commercial cotton farming uses a large amount of water, and the use of pe

20、sticides(杀虫剂) is widespread across the globe, especially in cotton farming. Studies have shown that farmers spend around $4.1 billion on pesticides annually, of which 25% was spent on cotton crops in the US. Once the cotton is grown and harvested, so begins the production stage: spinning, knitting(编

21、织), bleaching, dyeing, cutting, sewing, etc. these processes also use a great deal of water and energy. Commercial dyes and bleaches are harmful pollutants and can eventually pollute groundwater. After the T-shirt is produced, it enters the transportation stage. This often involves overseas shipping

22、. Take a look in your closet. Chances are that most of your cotton garments (衣服) are made in China or India. Garments can be shipped via plane, ship or truck., all of which spill CO2 into the atmosphere. Calculations show that CO2 emissions from light trucks alone amount to 1.15 pounds per mile. Onc

23、e the T-shirt reaches the retail market, it is purchased. This stage may seem like the least environmentally damaging part. But consider the number of times youve washed and dried your favourite T-shirt. Washing machines are certainly becoming more efficient. However, the average American household

24、does 400 loads of laundry per year, using about 40 gallons of water per load. Such excessive water use is combined with the large amount of energy used by dryers. The final stage of life is disposal. This releases harmful emissions, or involves a landfill where cotton takes years to break down. Curr

25、ent US records show that an estimated 15% of clothes and shoes are recycled, which means that consumers send a shocking 85% of these materials to landfills. We all need new clothes every once in a while, but lets all try to keep in mind what goes into the production of clothing. It has a real impact

26、 on the planet. There are a lot of things you can do to help reduce your impact. Reuse and recycle clothes. If theyre too worn out to wear, cut them up and use them as cleaning rags. Donate them to charity or another organisation that recycles textiles. When possible, make an effort to buy organic c

29、s passage?A.The production process may affect water safety.B.The clothing cost is relatively low in China and India.C.Cotton clothes are buried because they are hard to break down.D.The use stage is the least environmentally harmful of the five stages.4.What is the purpose of this passage?A.To encou

That threat has brought together an international team. They hope to save the bird. The plan is to have farmers plant organic coff

32、ee plants which are covered with branches that make good nesting places for the birds. Once found in the millions, as few as 300 red siskins remain in Venezuela.
