四、(2025·镇江市丹徒区期末改编)任务型阅读。
In recent years，China has tried its best to protect the environment and achieved great results. These achievements include many areas. Let's take a closer look at some of these successes.
Leading in renewable energy China is now the world's largest producer of solar and wind energy and offers clean power to millions of homes. In 2022，China's solar power production reached over 390 million kilowatts，becoming the top in the world. This helps cut coal use and air pollution.
Greener lands and forests China has planted billions of trees to keep soil in place and fight against desertification. The Great Green Wall project，set up in 1978，has built forests covering over 46 million hectares. The government has also returned over 28 million hectares of farmland to forests or grasslands since 1999.
Clearer skies in cities Air pollution used to be a serious problem in cities like Beijing. However，some laws have made air quality better. Beijing's average PM 2.5 level dropped by about 63% between 2013 and 2021. Many cities now have more blue sky days than before.
Promoting green transport In 2023，over 60% of the world's electric vehicles(EVs)were made in China. China leads the world in EV production and sales. Cities like Shenzhen have already used electric buses and taxis completely instead of oil ones，lowering carbon emissions and noise pollution.
As students，we can also make a difference by saving energy，recycling，and reusing. After all，protecting the earth is everyone's duty!

【分析】
这是一篇信息匹配类任务型阅读，解题思路如下：首先通读全文明确文章核心是介绍中国近年在环保领域取得的各项成果，之后对照表格的每个空缺，回到原文定位对应的原句，结合空格前后的语法规则（介词搭配、时态、固定结构等），对原文信息做适配性转换，最终得到符合要求的正确词汇，同时要注意部分同义替换、常识点（环保3R原则）的运用。
【解析】
1. 定位原文首句"In recent years，China has tried its best to protect the environment"，空格前是介词in，介词后需接动名词形式，因此将protect变为动名词protecting。
2. 定位原文第二段"China is now the world's largest producer of solar and wind energy and offers clean power to millions of homes"，主语China是第三人称单数，时态为一般现在时，结合空格后的介词for，用同义表达provide sth. for sb.，因此填provides。
3. 定位原文第二段最后一句"This helps cut coal use and air pollution"，空格前是be动词is，后接介词in，符合固定搭配be helpful in doing sth.（有助于做某事），因此将help变为形容词helpful。
4. 定位原文第三段"The Great Green Wall project，set up in 1978"，该项目是过去发起的，用一般过去时，因此填动词start的过去式started。
5. 定位原文第三段"The government has also returned over 28 million hectares of farmland to forests or grasslands since 1999"，句子为现在完成时，has后直接接动词过去分词returned即可。
6. 定位原文第四段"Air pollution used to be a serious problem in cities like Beijing"，used to后接动词原形，此处表达“过去存在严重空气污染”，用have符合结构和语义。
7. 定位原文第四段"Many cities now have more blue sky days than before"，此处表达“比之前更频繁地看到蓝天”，副词often修饰动作see，more often than before表示“比以前更经常”，因此填often。
8. 定位原文第五段"China leads the world in EV production and sales"，as well as前后要保持并列，和production对应，直接填sales。
9. 定位原文第五段"Cities like Shenzhen have already used electric buses and taxis completely instead of oil ones"，语义为完全停止使用燃油巴士和出租车，句子是现在完成时，因此填stop的过去分词stopped。
10. 定位原文最后一段"we can also make a difference by saving energy，recycling，and reusing"，对应环保3R原则，和reusing、recycling并列，填reducing。

1. protecting
2. provides
