My sister Alice and I have been trying to get people to stop dropping cigarette butts (烟头) for seven years. One day, when we were walking in our hometown, we saw hundreds of cigarette butts on the ground. They made the town look so ugly that we decided to start a group to make people stop dropping butts. We called it "No Butts About It".
At first, we drew pictures with "The Earth is not your ashtray (烟灰缸)" written on them. We put up the pictures around our hometown—in parks, by beaches, and along roads. We wanted to make people understand that dropping butts hurts the environment. Most smokers don't think that dropping butts damages the Earth. But it does, and all rubbish does!
Later, we wrote to companies and asked them for money to help us. We used the money to buy ashtrays and gave them to smokers. We wanted smokers to carry the ashtrays with them so they didn't have to drop butts.
At the moment, we are trying to get cigarette companies to put an ashtray in each pack of cigarettes. Some companies want to do it. Many people have started to join our group since it began. Today there are 45 other "No Butts About It" groups in America.
Now there are even groups in England, Australia, and India! Many newspapers have written about my sister and me over the last seven years. And we have won many prizes for what we do. But we are not interested in prizes. We just devote ourselves to making the Earth a better and cleaner place for animals, plants and people.
One day, it will be.

三、
答案:1-4.CABA
解析:1.细节理解题。根据第一段中They made the town look so ugly that we decided to start a group to make people stop dropping butts.可知,她们成立该组织的最初原因是:烟头让城镇变得非常难看。C项符合以上说法。A、B、D三项在文中均未提及。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段可知,作者与姐姐找公司赞助买了烟灰缸给那些抽烟的人,故选A项。B、C两项在文中均未提及,D项“因为创办组织赢得奖项”是不乱扔烟头的活动带来的影响,不符合题意,故不选。
3.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中We just devote ourselves to making the Earth a better and cleaner place for animals, plants and people.和最后一段One day, it will be.可以推测出作者相信地球终有一天会变得更好、更干净。B项符合题意。根据第三段第一、二句可知,一些公司给了她们金钱上的赞助,她们才能买烟灰缸给吸烟者,故A项“没有公司愿意给她们钱”的表述不正确。根据第四段最后一句Today there are 45 other "No Butts About It" groups in America.和倒数第二段中Now there are even groups in England, Australia, and India!可知,组织的个数应该不仅仅有45个,故C项不选。根据倒数第二段中But we are not interested in prizes.可知,她们对奖项不感兴趣,故D项不正确。
4.主旨大意题。根据第一段中They made the town look so ugly that we decided to start a group to make people stop dropping butts. We called it "No Butts About It".可知,本文主要讲述了作者和她的姐姐一直设法呼吁人们不要乱扔烟头。故A项可以作为标题概括全文。
