第三部分：书面表达第1节阅读表达阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英语回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。

• 8．    Japan started releasing nuclear-contaminated water into the Pacific Ocean on August 24th and will continue to do so for at least 30 years.In the face of strong questioning and opposition from the international community，Japan plays word games by referring to the discharged "nuclear-contaminated water" as "treated nuclear wastewater".
     However，the two are fundamentally different.Nuclear wastewater refers to the wastewater produced during the normal，daily operation of a nuclear power plant，such as large quantities of water used to cool down the reactor of the plant.Because the water doesn't touch radioactive substances（放射性物质）in the nuclear reactor，it can be flushed out after strict processing.
     Nuclear-contaminated water refers to cooling water that comes into direct contact with radioactive materials inside the reactor when the reactor is breached after a nuclear accident.The cooling water becomes contaminated with highly radioactive substances，thus becoming nuclear-contaminated water.
     The Fukushima nuclear power plant experienced a major incident in 2011，bringing water into contact with radioactive substances.The Japanese side's conflation（混淆）of this with wastewater from normal operations is a deceptive attempt to hide the truth.The Japanese side claims that the multi-nuclide treatment system ALPS is used to treat nuclear contaminated water，and that the treated water is safe and even meets drinking water standards.However，such statements fail to alleviate public concerns.Japan has yet to address major international concerns，such as the long-term reliability of the purification facility，the authenticity and accuracy of the nuclear-contaminated water data，and the effectiveness if the monitoring arrangement.This is extremely selfish and irresponsible，as the discharge will spread the risks of nuclear contamination to the rest of the world.
   
  （1）How does the Japanese mislead the international community？

  
  （2）In what way nuclear-contaminated water is different from nuclear wastewater.

  
  （3）Please decide which part is false in the following statement，then underline it and explain why.

  
  ＞ Japan's deceptive attempts to hide the truth alleviate public concerns over the long-term reliability of the purification facility，etc.
  （4）How is Japan's dumping nuclear-contaminated water related to you？ （In about 40 words）
