Eleven－year－old Evan Green doesn’t want to save just one tree—he wants to save a whole rainforest!
In the Redwood City，Calif，a boy started a group called the Red Dragon Conservation Team four years ago to do just that.So far，the team’s members have raised $4,500.That’s enough to purchase and protect more than 16 acres of rainforest in Costa Rica through the Center for Ecosystem Survival.Every year，thousands of square miles of rainforest are destroyed worldwide.Logging (伐木) and farming are mostly likely to blame，scientists say.The loss is terrible news for animals and people.Even though rainforests cover less than 2 percent of the earth，they are home to half the world’s plants and animals.Rainforests also provide water and help control the earth’s climate.
Evan’s work to save the rainforests recently earned him a Barron prize for Young Heroes.The prizes are given to children or teenagers who have made a positive difference in the world.Evan’s goal is “to save enough rainforests to last forever”．He won’t have to do it alone.His actions have already inspired other kids to chip_in.One girl asked for donations instead of presents on her birthday.She raised $850.Other kids are starting their own conservation teams.
Evan says every one can help the planet—even by taking small steps such as recycling.He and his family try to make a difference every day.“We recycle，we try to limit our garbage...we’ve been walking a little more，and we buy local food，” Evan said.

课时作业答案
Ⅰ.单项填空
1．D　in danger处于危险中；in turn反过来；in return作为报答；in vain白费力气，徒劳无益。根据句意，应该是承认自己的一切努力全是“徒劳的”，这对他而言需要有很大的勇气。
2．C　由答语部分可知Sally因生孩子离开舞台，quit离开(工作职位、学校等)，离任，退出。resign辞职，用做此意时，同quit，但不能说辞去舞台；retire退休；abandon舍弃，遗弃，均与题意不符。
3．A　technology 是技术的总称，science and technology 意为“科技”。
4．B　本题考查介词的用法。句意为“正在修建的实验室将在这个月底竣工”。正确搭配是under construction，表示“正在修建”。
5．D　give和offer不与介词with连用；be provided with被提供给。
6．C　put...in order 意为“把……整理好”。若选A，则应去掉the，in place 意为“在适当的位置”。
7．A　have sth.done 强调某事被做，后面用及物动词的过去分词；排除B与C，它们都是不及物动词。raise 有“提高，增加”的意思，符合句子要求。lift 抬起；提升，不符合题意。
8．B　句意为“尽管别的人都不愿去山区，他毫不犹豫就去了”。while 引导让步状语从句表示与主句所述内容的对比、对照。
9．A　此处 come out 意为“出版”符合句意。come up 走近，引起注意；come across(偶然)遇到；come about 发生，三者均不合句意。
10．C　考查状语从句的省略，if 加分词相当于 if 加从句，可改写为 if(he is)given the same treatment again，...。
11．A　此题考查省略。what if 要是……该怎么办？as if 好像；even if即使；only if 只有在……条件下。第二句可还原为“What shall we do if we fail to arrive there in time？”。
12．B　if ever 为省略用语，意为“如果曾经有过的话”。而seldom，if ever 可形成副词短语，意为“即使有也很少，难得，不常”。
13．B　even so即使如此；even though尽管；therefore因此；though可是，不过。
14．D　in the 90s 在九十年代；in one’s fifties 在某人五十多岁时。
15．B　be devoted to...奉献于……，专注于……。
Ⅱ.句子翻译

Ⅲ.完形填空
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。万里长城始建于春秋战国时期，在当时为抵御北方游牧民族起到了一定的作用。然而近年来长城却遭受了自然和人为的双重破坏，为此，政府颁布了一项新法规。
21．B　句意为：……追溯到春秋战国时期……。date back to相当于date from追溯到/从……时就有。
22．D　根据上下文：在这些分散的战略要地，建成了“各自独立的”(separate)城墙。
23．A　建城墙的目的就是“抵御”(defend)北方游牧民族的入侵。
24．C　专家已“发出警告”(warn)。
25．A　由下文的human damage可判断，上文应是natural (damage)。
26．A　根据下文的．..are still standing可判断，“仅有”(only)一小部分尚存。
27．B　根据下文的多处暗示，颁布的是“法规”(regulation)。
28．C　由which引导的非限制性定语从句，解释说明前面的regulation。
29．D　表示法规开始生效，come into effect开始生效。
30．B　任何“违反此项法规”(break the regulations)的个体都会受罚。
31．B　while表示前后的对照。
32．A　显然，董耀会是在接受采访时“说”(said)的这番话。

34．C　句意为：……表明政府保护长城的“决心” (determination)。
35．A　禁止非法“取用泥土砖块”(take soil or bricks)等。
36．C　根据句意，此处表示多种非法形式，用or表示“或者”之意。
37．B　由下文的it encourages all citizens...，表明是与上文违法行为的对比，表示“同时”(meanwhile)。
38．C　根据下文及obligation (义务，职责)判断，应用shoulder(承担，担负)。
39．D　由下文的．..will be awarded判断：为保护长城作出突出贡献的人应当受奖。make outstanding contribution作出突出贡献。
40．B　根据上下文意思判断，董耀会认为这项法规会产生“重要的”(significant)影响。
Ⅳ.阅读理解
【语篇解读】　11岁的小男孩Evan以自己的实际行动，带动了更多的青少年投身到保护热带雨林、保护地球家园的行动中来。
41．B　细节理解题。由第一、二段可知Evan创建该组织目的是为了保护热带雨林。
42．C　细节理解题。由第二段可知购买和保护16英亩的热带雨林需要4 500美元，也就是说，每英亩约280美元。
43．B　猜测词义题。由第四段可知Evan的行动激发了其他的孩子不同方式的捐款，因此该短语此处表示“捐款”。
44．A　推理判断题。最后一段的主题句是everyone can help the planet—even by taking small steps，而Evan的话正反映了这一主题。
45．D　归纳标题题。本文主要讲述了11岁男孩Evan Green为了保护热带雨林建立了一个保护小组，并号召其他的青少年也参与到这一行动中，因此D项作标题最佳。
