2025届高考三轮冲刺英语高频命题热点练习：热点九 环境污染与保护（练习） 一、 With winters in the mountains getting less predictable in terms of snow fall, ski resorts (旅游圣地) are pioneering sustainable practices that aim to phase out fossil fuels, lower carbon emissions and reduce waste. After experiencing first-hand some of the earliest effects of climate change, alpine villages and towns have a long-term interest in safeguarding their delicate ecosystems. The following are three selected mountain towns that are pushing ahead with eco-initiatives that are setting the green standard for ski destinations worldwide. Laax, Switzerland Laax has been working towards operating sustainably since the 1970s and aims to be carbon neutral by 2030, eventually becoming an energy-producing resort. It’s currently constructing buildings that will produce more energy than they consume, and is phasing out fossil fuels. This winter, the resort will open the first “on-demand” ski lift, which reduces energy requirements by removing cabins if they’re not being used. There are plentiful vehicle and bike charging points in resort. Skiwelt, Austria This collection of resorts, which includes S ll, Ellmau, Westendorf and others, has won awards for its ecological endeavors. It installed the world’s first solar-powered lift in Brixen in 2008, and since 2017 has relied merely on local renewable energy, heating most of its buildings using biomass, wood pellets and heat-recovery systems. Car parks in Scheffau, Hopfgarten and Brixen have charging points for EVs and when skiers buy a day lift ticket they receive a code enabling them to charge their cars for free. Base and mountain stations across the ski area have waste-sorting systems. S len, Sweden Part of the Scandinavian SkiStar group of resorts, S len is using non-fossil fuel energy in all resort operations, which has cut carbon dioxide emissions by 90%. All ski buses run on HVO biofuel, as do all the resort’s snow groomers (整理机) — reducing emissions by 67%. All 150 of the resort’s snowmobiles are now electric, and it operates an electric snow groomer, too. Charging points for EVs are installed as standard on all new buildings. 1.Why are the ski resorts struggling for sustainable solutions A. To become energy-producing resorts. B.
