2. As we know, none of us likes pollution. 众所周知,没有人喜欢污染。 none与no one 的区别:
a) none “全无”,既可指人也可指物,后常跟of 的短语; 作主语时,谓语动词既可用单数也可用复数;
no one只指人,后不能跟of 的短语; 作主语时,谓语动词只用作单数。如: He has read none of these books.(指物)这些书他一本都没看过。

5.A lot of rich land has changed into desert, leaving only sand.

7. Although we have built the Great Green Wall, we still need to work hard to protect the environment. 尽管我们

9. And some animals are in danger of disappearing completely.
= And some animals are in danger of dying out. 一些动物濒临灭绝。 in danger of ( doing ) sth. 处于做某事的危险中; 如:

You may come either today or tomorrow. 你要么今天来,要么明天来。 We can either sing or dance. 我们可以唱歌或者跳舞。 Either you or he is right. 要么你对,要么他对。
b) either 单独使用时,是代词,表“二者之一”既可指人也可指物;用作主语时,谓语动词用作单数。如: A:Would you like coffee or tea? B: Either is OK 你想要咖啡还是茶?随便都可以。
