I. 阅读理解
Global warming is the increase of the earths average surface temperature due to the effect of greenhouse gases,for example,carbon dioxide which traps heat that would otherwise escape from the earth. After the trees are cut down and more greenhouse gases are released,the “blanket” around the earth,called the ozone layer(臭氧层), will get thicker. This catches more heat and makes the earth hotter. Luckily,there are many things that every citizen of the earth can do to help reduce the effects of global warming,and it’s never too late or too early for children to take action.
Children should learn what a carbon footprint is. A carbon footprint is the amount of greenhouse gases people make as they lead the daily life and go about the normal activities. In other words, the carbon footprint is a measure of the environmental impact the life has. To live an environmentally friendly life that hardly contributes to global warming, people should make the fewest carbon footprints possible.
Almost everything people do contributes global warming and is related to fossil fuel consumption. These things people do can be direct use of fossil fuels, like riding in a gasoline-powered car or, indirect contributions to greenhouse gases, such as eating fruit and vegetables that have to be shipped from faraway places to reach their tables.
If a child wants to make a contribution to reducing global warming, he should ride a bicycle to the near park, the school, his friend’s house, or anywhere else not so far instead of takin a car. or he may try to walk or jog, which is also helpful. In addition, although trains and buses often run on fossil fuels, on average, each person uses less energy and produces less pollution to take a train or a bus. Next time if children with their parents have to go around town or go to someplace too far to walk to or bike to take a bus or other public transportation instead of riding a car.
1. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. A brief description of the carbon footprint.
B. The serious water pollution.
C. The protection of the ozone layer.
D. The causes of global warming.
2. Which of the following can describe the carbon footprint
A. Useless.
B. Expensive.
C. Helpful.
D. Attractive.
3. What can kids do if they want to help reduce global warming.
A. Go to the near park by bus.
B. Walk or cycle as much as possible.
C. Keep staying at home.
D. Go around town with parents by car.
4. What can be the suitable title for the text
A. What can people do to use less energy
B. How can kids help reduce global warming
C. How do carbon footprints measure pollution
D. Why global warming affects humans’ life

About 15 years ago I started seeing a lot of 4 , like toilet paper, beer cans, and empty boxes, around the area. It was beyond me why visitors started respecting the place less and treated such a beautiful home-like place this way.
I tried 5 trash(垃圾)myself,but the job was too big. I would spend an hour or two on the job only to find trash lying all over the area again weeks later. Finally,I got so 6 it that I decided something had to change.

Over three days we collected about 6,000 pounds of trash. It was amazing how much we were able to 10 . I couldn’t believe the 11 we made-the park looked clean!
Each year volunteers come for the clean-up from everywhere. In 2007 alone,2,945 people picked up 42,330 pounds of trash and 12 132 miles of roadway.
I often hear people 13 about their surroundings If you are one of them,I would say the only way to change things is by 14 them rather than by complaining. We need to lead by 15 . You can’t blame others unless you start with yourself.

A lot of people feel overwhelmed when trying to make changes that help the planet.

I’m only one person. But that is an important step (3) [ ] (take ). We work together as a collective to do things. ” And there’s the multiplier effect. “Small behavior matters particularly, especially when (4) [ ] (accumulate),” Swim says. Household behavior (5) [ ] (actual) can make a substantial difference in (6) [ ] (reduce) greenhouse gas emissions, according to researchers from Michigan State University and Vanderbilt University. Most of that potential comes from adopting energy-efficient behavior. Their research lists the most practical 17 steps (7) [ ] each American can take, including carpooling, weatherizing houses and driving fuel efficient (8) [ ] (vehicle) If every American (9) [ ] (take) these steps, according to these researchers the total U.
