China's leading express companies established "Green Delivery Day" on Tuesday,in a bid to reduce pollution caused by the logistics industry.
China Environmental Protection Foundation,Alibaba Foundation,and China's express giants including Alibaba's logistics arm Cainiao Network,STO Express,YTO Express,ZTO Express,Shanghai Yunda Express and Best Express established "Green Delivery Day" at the 2019 Global Smart Logistics Summit held in Hangzhou,capital of eastern China's Zhejiang Province.The day will be marked on May 28 each year.They also announced plans to install 50,000 green recycling bins across the country.
China's express delivery sector handled 50.7 billion parcels in 2018,an increase of 26.6 percent year-on-year,according to the State Post Bureau.Meanwhile,the sector's income was 603.8 billion yuan (87.37 billion US dollars),up 21.8 percent from the previous year.
However,environmental pollution caused by mass express packaging has aroused concern.The express industry has been making efforts to reduce pollution over the past few years.
The emergence of digital express sheets has helped save over 300 billion sheets of paper,while recycled environmental-friendly packaging has helped save 200 million disposable plastic bags.
Meanwhile,express firms have introduced more environmental-friendly materials to make packaging bags.And they have used new energy vehicles,and set up recycle stations across the country.
"I would like to put express cartons into a recycling bin to promote the recycling of cartons.It is not just about the express industry,but the whole of society.And the establishment of 'Green Delivery Day' can attract more people to engage," a customer said at the launching ceremony.

2.Nuclear bombs.That's the go-to answer for incoming space objects like asteroids(小行星) and comets,as far as Hollywood is concerned.Movies like Deep Impact and Armageddon rely on nuclear weapons,delivered by stars like Bruce Willis,to save the world and deliver the drama.
But planetary defense experts say in reality,if astronomers spotted a dangerous incoming space rock,the safest and best answer might be something more subtle,like simply pushing it off course by crashing it with a small spacecraft.
That's just what NASA did on Monday evening,when a spacecraft headed straight into an asteroid called Dimorphous,which is around 7 million miles away and poses no threat to Earth.It's about 525 feel across and orbits another larger asteroid.
In images streamed as the impact neared,the egg-shaped asteroid grew in size from a little spot on screen to have its full rocky surface come quickly into focus before the signal went dead as the craft hit right on target.
Events happened exactly as engineers had planned,they said,with nothing going wrong. "As far as we can tell,our first planetary defense test was a success," said Elena Adams,the mission systems engineer,who added that scientists looked on with "both terror and joy" as the spacecraft neared its final destination.
The impact was the peak of NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) ,a 7-year and more than ﹩300 million effort which launched a space vehicle in November of 2021 to perform humanity's first ever test of planetary defense technology.It will be about two months,scientists said,before they will be able to determine if the impact was enough to drive the asteroid slightly off course,probably shortening its original orbit.
NASA plans to launch an asteroid-hunting space telescope named NEO Surveyor in 2026. "We've tacked lots of space rocks,especially the larger ones that could cause extinction-level events.Thankfully,none currently threaten Earth.But many asteroids the size of Dimorphous haven't yet been discovered,and those could potentially take out a city if they came crashing down." explains Lindley Johnson,NASA's Planetary Defense Officer.
(1)How did scientists know the craft hit the asteroid successfully?
A.The signal from the craft was lost as it hit the target.
B.They recorded the whole process with a telescope.
C.The little spot on the screen suddenly disappeared.
D.They monitored the craft with satellites in space.
(2)What is the purpose of launching the spacecraft?
A.To search for evidence of alien life.
B.To end the asteroid's threat to Earth.
C.To save the world and deliver a drama.
D.To test technology for defending Earth.
(3)What can be inferred about Dimorphous?
A.It is a dangerous incoming space rock.
B.It is an egg-shaped asteroid around Earth.
C.It may orbit the same asteroid after the hit.
D.It is expected to blow up after the impact.
(4)Which statement will Lindley Johnson probably agree with?
A.Asteroids are equally destructive whatever the size.
B.NEO Surveyor is aimed to track smaller asteroids.
C.Larger asteroids will no longer threaten Earth.
D.NASA is responsible for the safety of Earth.發(fā)布:2024/12/11 2:0:1組卷:6引用:4難度:0.5 -
