Since the first Earth Day in 1970,Americans have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment.“We didn't know at that time there even was an environment,let alone that there was a problem with it,” says Bruce Anderson,president of Earth Day USA.
But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement.Business people,political leaders,university professors,and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement.“The understanding has increased many,many times”,says Gaylord Nelson,the former governor from Wisconsin,who thought up the first Earth Day.
According to US government reports,emissions (排放) from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3million tons a year to 5.5 tons.The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9.Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with,the world is a safer and healthier place.A kind of “green thinking” has become part of practices.
Great improvement has been achieved.In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs; today in 1995 there are about 6,600.Advanced lights,motors,and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.
Twenty-five years ago,there were hardly any education programs for environment.Today,it's hard to find a public school,university,or law school that does not have such a kind of program.“Until we do that,nothing else will change!” say Bruce Anderson.
【解题导语】 在文章中作者介绍了自从1970年第一个地球日成立以来,美国的环境问题有了很大的改善。以前在公共事务中无足轻重的环境问题现在成了一项社会问题,从科学家到大学教授再到平民百姓都有了环保意识。而且作者指出教育在这种变化方面也起着非常重要的作用。
1. According to Bruce Anderson,before 1970,Americans had little idea about ________.
A.the social movement
B.recycling techniques
C.environmental problems
D.the importance of Earth Day
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据文章首段Bruce Anderson说的话“We didn't know at that time there even was an environment,let alone that there was a problem with it”可知当时人们不知道环境这个概念,更别说环境问题了,由此可知答案选C。
2.Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?
A.The grass-roots level.
B.The business circle.
C.Government officials.
D.University professors.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Business people, political leaders,university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement.”可知商人、政界领导、大学教授、尤其是平民百姓们都参与了保护环境运动,由此判断保护环境的支持主要来自草根阶层。
3.What have Americans achieved in environmental protection?
A.They have cut car emissions to the lowest.
B.They have settled their environmental problems.
C.They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.
D.They have reduced pollution through effective measures.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段中的“In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs ...and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.”可知回收工作的改进,先进产品或者住房设计的研制开发等其结果都是有效减少了污染,改善了环境,故答案选D。
4.What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph?
A.Education. B.Planning.
C.Green living. D.CO reduction.
解析:选A 主旨大意题。文章末段提到目前几乎每所学校都有关于环境保护的课程;而且通过最后Bruce Anderson说的话“Until we do that,nothing else will change!”可知教育在改变人们保护环境的意识,改善环境问题方面至关重要。

The world celebrates Earth Day every year on April 22.But one school in Potomac, Maryland tries to honor Earth Day every day.Very young children are learning about the environment and taking action to show their love for the Earth.
A child's world is the world of playing.They love being outside in the open air,running,sliding and swinging on playground equipment.But children at St.James Children's School also add to that fun by picking up rubbish in the school.Inside, they learn to save water and electricity.They also recycle and reuse.And every spring they get the soil ready to plant flowers and vegetables in the school garden.
The children at St.James range from six weeks to six years old.The environmental study begins at age two.Rebecca Boker teaches the children the importance of taking care of the Earth.Boker says every day at St.James is Earth Day.She points to books in all the classrooms and in the library.Most contain materials that urge children to do something to help the environment and protect the Earth.
St.James children observe the growth of plants from seeds to sprouts (苗,芽) in cups kept in the classroom.Then they watch the plants continue to grow after placing them in the garden.The students also observe the lifecycle of some insects.After that, they know it is their job to respect their home just like they want others to respect theirs.
But do these very young children really get the message that their teachers try to communicate? Ms.Boker says yes.On April 22 the kids at St.James will go out to the school's garden for the yearly clean-up.But for them, Earth Day will continue for the school days ahead as well.

Pollution's great effects on the environment have become more obvious in recent years,leading to a movement to promote energy efficiency,less reliance on fossil fuels and a reduction in air and water pollution.Most scientists agree that such changes are necessary to protect our environment from further harm.
The construction industry consumes a large quantity of energy and resources and creates a huge amount of pollution.In the United States,building and development account for 39 percent of the country's total energy use,12 percent of total water consumption,68 percent of total electricity consumption and 38 percent of carbon dioxide emissions,according to the Environment Protection Agency.
Green buildings use less energy,water,create less waste and are healthier to live, work and study in than standard buildings.Builders of green buildings use techniques that use resources more efficiently during the entire building cycle—construction,restoration,operation,maintenance (维护) and demolition (拆毁)—than those who construct more regular buildings.
The environmental benefits of green buildings include the protection of ecosystems and biodiversity,improved air and water quality,less waste flowing into streams and the conservation of natural resources.Green buildings can also contribute to lower operating costs because they typically use less energy and fewer materials and improve indoor air quality,improving the health of people who live there.
The process of building greenly includes technical and artistic planning with nature conservation in mind.Building designs often reflect the surrounding environment and natural resources and use renewable building materials such as bamboo and straw.In addition,recycled resources found locally are used for green buildings, reducing the costs and air pollution associated with transporting materials long distances.
Careful site selection is important to minimize human impact on the surrounding environment.For example, placing a structure in an area that allows it to take advantage of cool breezes and sunlight can reduce energy use and expense.More energy and expense are needed for larger buildings as well,so it is important to build small.
Green roofs are another feature of green houses that reduce energy use and costs.These roofs are partially or completely covered with plants,which helps to keep heating and cooling costs low, prevent water running off and deal with pollutants.
Other features of green buildings often include energy and water conservation,recycling and waste reduction.In addition,renewable energy sources such as solar power,hydropower(水力发电) and wind power are used for heating and electricity,which greatly reduces costs and decreases the impact on the environment.
【解题导语】 本文为说明文,介绍了一种耗能少、产生废物少、更加环保的绿色建筑。
5.What is the text mainly about?
A.The necessity of promoting energy efficiency.
B.The process of building green buildings.
C.The benefits and features of green buildings.
D.Green buildings' effects on the environment.
解析:选C 主旨大意题。纵观全文可知,前两段讲述了环境污染愈来愈严重,保护环境免受进一步的破坏成为必需,从而引出下文对绿色建筑的介绍。文章的后六段具体详细地介绍了绿色建筑的益处和特色。故选C。
6.According to the text,green buildings refer to the buildings that ________.
A.produce no waste
B.only use clean energy
C.are made of recycled materials
D.use energy and resources more efficiently
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第三段首句“Green buildings use less energy, water, create less waste and are healthier to live, work and study in than standard buildings.”可知,绿色建筑使用更少的能源、消耗更少的水,产生更少的废物。因此绿色建筑可以更有效地使用能源。故选D。
7.Which of the following statements is TRUE about green buildings?
A.They rely on fossil fuels and solar power for heating and electricity.
B.Small buildings are less efficient in energy use than larger ones.
C.The ecosystem has to be considered when building a green building.
D.They are difficult to maintain and thus need more operating costs.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第五段首句“The process of building greenly includes technical and artistic planning with nature conservation in mind.”可知,建造绿色建筑时必须考虑到生态系统。故选C。
8.Green roofs are used because ________.
A.they fit the surrounding environment well
B.they are cheaper than other kinds of roofs
C.they can keep natural water for use in everyday life
D.they can help to control the temperature in the building well
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“These roofs are partially or completely covered with plants, which helps to keep heating and cooling costs low,prevent water running off and deal with pollutants.”可知,绿色屋顶被植物覆盖,有助于隔热和御寒,阻止水流出和处理污染物。因此推断绿色屋顶有助于很好地控制室内的温度。故选D。
Ⅳ.七选五
(2019·安徽合肥检测)
Art is for everyone and it exists everywhere.When it comes to appreciating an art painting,there is no right or wrong way.__1__
?Know the artist.To know the artist is the first step towards appreciating any art painting.__2__ Once you get familiar with the paintings by a particular artist,you will start relating to their unique style.
?__3__ This is really tough.There are different styles and types of art mediums,such as realism,surrealism and impressionism,to name but a few.So for beginners,it's advisable to keep things simple.Try to understand if the art you see is a watercolor,an oil or acrylic(丙烯酸颜料) painting,or a sketch (素描).You also need to figure out the style of the work—figurative (形象的) or abstract.
?Try and find a meaning.To read between lines and colors and understand what the artist means can be very difficult.__4__ So here's a simple guide.Figurative paintings are easy because they are an honest description of emotions on the canvas (油画布).Still,it doesn't mean your understanding is the same as the artist's.Abstracts attempt to create magic with shapes,lines and colors and their meaning is different for everyone who sees it.
?Search for emotions.Not every work of art will catch your eyes or evoke your emotions at first sight.__5__ Explore the art work with your eyes.
Once you are aware of these things,you will be able to break the ice with the artist.
A.Discover your taste and style.
B.Know the type of art and medium used.
C.Some of these art works will take time to reach you.
D.You just might find that art changes the way you see the world.
E.Learning something about the artist adds to the appreciation of art.
F.A simple art painting might be understood otherwise for different people.
G.The following ideas may help you join in the conversation between you and the artist.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍如何欣赏和解读艺术家的艺术作品。
1.解析:选G 该空起着承上启下的作用,下文各段的主题句说明了解读艺术作品的方式和建议;再结合尾段“Once you are aware of these things, you will be able to break the ice with the artist.”可以判断出,此处表示下列方法有助于读者和艺术家交流,故选G项。
2.解析:选E 依据本段主题句“Know the artist.”可知,该段主要建议“了解艺术家”;结合该空前一句可知,了解艺术家是欣赏艺术作品的第一步,由此可判断,此处表示了解艺术家有助于欣赏作品。E项符合语境。
3.解析:选B 依据此空的位置可知,此空是本段的主题句。依据空后的内容可知,艺术形式有着不同的表现方式和风格,mediums与B项中的medium相照应,故选B项。
4.解析:选F 依据上文中的“To read between lines and colors...means can be very difficult.”可知,体会作品的言外之意,理解艺术家的思想是非常困难的。F项表示不同的人对一幅简单的画有着不同的理解,与上文衔接紧密。故选F项。
5.解析:选C 依据该空前一句可知,并非每一件艺术作品一开始就能吸引你,打动你,由此可判断出,有些艺术作品需要花时间才能领会其中的意义。故选C项。

Even the hardest days contain lessons that will help you be a better person. Feeling down?Consider these things to remember when you're having a bad day.
No one promised life would be perfect. If you look for perfection, you'll never be content. Don't condition your happiness on meeting every expectation you set for yourself. It is good to be ambitious,but you'll never be perfect. If you expect otherwise, your life will be filled with disappointments.
Success doesn't happen overnight. Trees_that_are_slow_to_grow_bear_the_best_fruit. Don't kid yourself into thinking success will come quickly. It isn't easy to be patient,but anything worth doing requires time. If you get frustrated, remind yourself why your goal is important.
There is a lesson in every struggle. And once the storm is over,you won't remember how you made it through or how you managed to survive. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about. Don't complain about how terrible your life is. If you search for the lesson in your present struggle, you'll be able to make positive changes that would prevent similar situations in the future.
Without hard times, you wouldn't appreciate the good ones. Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to give in, that is strength. It is hard to find much to smile about when you fail, but how else would you improve yourself?If you look at failure as a part of your evolutionary process, you'll stay positive and pursue your goals as long as it takes.
【解题导语】 本文为议论文。作者论述了人在失意时要记住几件事:1.生活本来就不完美;2.成功不是一蹴而就的;3.困难让我们成长;4.没有困境,就不会珍惜好时光。
4.Which of the followings summarizes this passage best?
A.Every person has to go through hard times.
B.Perfection doesn't exist in life.

5.What does the underlined sentence mean?
A.Success will come quickly.
B.Hard work leads to success.
C.Success calls for patience.
D.Confidence is the first step to success.

6.We can learn from Paragraph 4 that ________.
A.lessons from struggles make us stronger
B.all things are difficult before they are easy
C.we should forget how we managed to survive
D.similar situations in the future will never appear

7.Which statement agrees with the passage?
A.Hard times make us lose heart and be short of courage.
B.Perseverance in time of hardships develops our strengths.
C.Smiles when you fail will not help to improve yourself.
D.We should try to avoid failures in the evolutionary process.

One possible version:
These years global warming is becoming a serious problem,endangering people's lives.
Several factors contribute to the rise of the temperature.Firstly,a lot of greenhouse gases are produced by cars and factories. Secondly,people burn a lot of coal and wood for their life. Thirdly,the loss of forests is another cause of global warming.
Global warming will cause some harmful effects.Some islands will disappear because of rising sea levels, and thus people of certain countries will have to look for new places to live in.Extreme weather will also result from global warming.If the temperature keeps rising,some animals and plants will disappear from the planet, thus destroying the ecosystem.
Facing such a threat, we should join efforts to “cool” the earth.We can take the subway or bus to work instead of driving private cars to reduce greenhouse gases.All in all, we are supposed to remember it's our responsibility to save our earth.

?In the deserts of North Africa live the smallest of all foxes with the largest ears. This animal is the fennec fox. Fennec foxes are less than four pounds, but their ears are 5 to 6 inches long. Their ears help decrease body heat, and provide great hearing.
Fennec foxes have thick fur. It keeps them warm during those cold desert nights. ?They also have long bushy tails that they use as a blanket. And the hair on their feet protects them from the hot sand in the daytime.
Fennec foxes spend most of the day sleeping in their caves. When night comes, they come out in search of food.
Like other foxes, ?fennecs eat both meat and plants. They like eating birds, eggs, insects, snails, fruit and leaves best.
?Fennec fox mothers have one to five babies at a time. The lifespan of a fennec fox is 10 to 12 years. The cream color of fennec foxes help them blend into their desert habitat. Humans catch them for their fur and to sell as pets.

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节 (共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中,选出最佳选项。
A
Anyone who's ever been a maid of honor (伴娘) knows that weddings can make people feel extremely tired.But for one flower girl,even the thought of making her way down the aisle (过道)wore her out.Six-month-old Rugbie played a flower girl role for her aunt's wedding,but when it came time for her to make her way down the aisle,sleepiness overcame her.Her father,Joe Morman,posted a photo online of his baby girl making her way down the aisle fast asleep,falling back in the wedding wagon (小推车)pulled by her mom.“My daughter was supposed to be a flower girl in her aunt's wedding,but napping is life,” said Morman.
“About 20 minutes before the wedding she was getting tired,so I was holding her and singing to her so she would go to sleep and get a quick little power nap in before the wedding,” Morman explained.“But when it came time for the wedding,she wouldn't wake up for anything.She would open her eyes and look around then pass right back out.” We know that feeling.
But of course,the wedding must go on.Rugbie's mom,Lizzie,continued as planned,pulling her lovely daughter down the aisle in the wagon.“As soon as the wagon got to the end of the aisle and I picked her up,she opened her eyes and was ready to go,” the dad recalls.Luckily,the bride and groom thought it was funny.Plus,the bride was happy to share the public attention.
Everyone else thought it was interesting,obviously.The little girl's deep sleep actually surprised her parents.“She has never done that before and she is usually not hard to wake up at all,” Morman says.Well,now they know for next time.And while Rugbie was unable to throw the flower petals (花瓣),we have a feeling that this cute girl will get herself another place in future family weddings.
【解题导语】 一个六个月大的小女孩本该在她姑姑的婚礼上做花童扔花瓣,却在中途睡着了;她非但没因这一幕受到责备,反而赢得了大家的喜爱。
21.From the text,we know that Rugbie ________.
A.suffers from a sleep disorder
B.was upset to be a maid of honor
C.was made a flower girl
D.thought attending a wedding was boring
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第一段的内容“Six-month-old Rugbie played a flower girl role for her aunt's wedding...”可知六个月大的Rugbie在她姑姑的婚礼上做花童。C项正确。
22.What happened during the wedding?
A.Rugbie fell asleep on her way down the aisle.
B.Joe Morman posted his daughter's video online.
C.The wagon pulled by a woman turned over.
D.Lizzie sang a song to the bride during the wedding.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第一段的“...when it came time for her to make her way down the aisle,sleepiness overcame her”可知A项正确。
23.The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to“________”.
A.the bride's attitude
B.the little girl
C.the girl's sleeping
D.the wedding
解析:选C 代词指代题。根据最后一段代词所在句子的意思:很显然大家都认为这很有趣。然而这个小女孩的沉睡实际上让她的父母感到很惊讶。所以“it”在此指代的是“小女孩睡着这件事”,故选C。
24.What does the author intend to indicate by the last sentence?
A.Rugbie didn't do well as a flower girl.
B.Rugbie didn't want to throw the flower petals.
C.Rugbie needs another role in the next wedding.
D.Rugbie has become popular with many people.
解析:选D 推理判断题。末段最后一句话的意思为:虽然Rugbie没能扔花瓣,但我们觉得这个可爱的女孩会在未来的家庭婚礼中还会有其他的任务交给她。作者在此说这句话的意思不是指Rugbie的花童角色做得不好,也没有指向Rugbie扔花瓣的个人意愿,也不是说她需要在婚礼中担任其他的角色;而是暗指Rugbie赢得了很多人的喜爱,以至于在未来的婚礼中,大家还是愿意让Rugbie来参与其中。故D项最符合作者的意图。
B
Book towns started with Hay-on-Wye in the UK; now there are communities around the world that celebrate the written word.
Biblo To yen,Oslo
This children-only library is aimed at 10 to 15 year-olds.Adults are not allowed in and must wait outside for their children to come out.The library is run along normal lines,with library cards for borrowing books,and is particularly well suited to children after the school day is over.
After consulting young readers in focus groups,the designers have put a truck with a functional kitchen in the back (the library also runs activities including cookery courses) and a reading sofa.Books are arranged by themes,which means no book has a fixed location.At night,a drone (无人机) flies around the library to scan and update the books' positions.
Bellprat,Catalonia,Spain
In many ways,this small village is the ideal book town.It is in a beautiful rural setting in Catalonia's Anoia region,yet only 90km from Barcelona.It has an attractive centre and its population is enthusiastic about throwing open its doors to book-loving visitors.Bellprat is also the first book town in Catalonia.
During the town's main festival—on the first weekend in June—several village houses are temporarily turned into secondhand bookshops,as there are not enough stalls (摊位)in the market.The books on sale are mainly in the Catalan language,however.As well as promoting the village,the book town label is used for good causes: at a recent festival,there was an activity in which books could be exchanged in return for donations to a food bank.Other book-based events range from meetings and readings to events run by independent publishers.
This is very much a community-run book town.From simple beginnings in 2008,it now offers visitors more than 20,000 books for sale.This is impressive,given that the population of the village is under 100.
【解题导语】 书镇源自英国,现在已遍及世界各地,它们以拥有各式各类的书籍而出名。本文简略地介绍了两个书镇。
25.What may people see if they are in the library in Biblo To yen?
A.Adults are picking up books for their children.
B.Parents are drinking coffee while their children are reading.
C.All of the books are in fixed locations.
D.A drone is working there at night.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据Biblo To yen ,Oslo部分的介绍“At night,a drone(无人机)flies around the library to scan and update the books' positions.”可知,晚上有无人机在这个图书馆扫描和更新书的位置,所以D项正确。
26.What do we know about Bellprat?
A.It is the first book town in Spain.
B.People there are very friendly towards book lovers.
C.It is an ideal village far from Barcelona.
D.It came into existence in 2008 with a large population.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据Bellprat,Catalonia,Spain部分的描述“...its population is enthusiastic about throwing open its doors to book-loving visitors.”可推知该地的居民对爱书的旅客很友好。
27.What do people usually do during the main festival in Bellprat?
A.Visit as many secondhand bookshops as possible.
B.Sell and buy books in the market.
C.Exchange books for food to eat.
D.Hold meetings among publishers.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据文中的“During the town's main festival—on the first weekend in June— several village houses are temporarily turned into secondhand bookshops...The books on sale...”可知B项正确。
C
The scene in the Hollywood movie The Day After Tomorrow,where global warming could soon turn the global climate (气候) into a new ice age,may never occur,according to a new research.
The next ice age could be 15,000 years away,said European scientists who last month announced a continuous record of 740,000 years of climate data (数据) obtained from the Antarctic ice.
Scientists from 10 nations have now almost completely drilled through a 3,000-meter depth of ice high in the Antarctic mainland.They figure out that the area where summer temperatures can fall to -40 ℃ ,has at least 900,000 years of snowfalls,kept as neatly as the growth rings of a tree.And the ice and air caught in each layer (层) have begun to answer questions about the climate in the past.
The results show that there have been eight ice ages in the past 740,000 years and eight warmer periods.And by comparing the pattern of global conditions today with those of the past,the researchers reported in Nature that the present warm period could last another 15,000 years.
Research suggests that there is a very close connection between greenhouse gas levels and global average temperatures.It also shows that carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) levels are the highest for at least 440,000 years.
“If people say to you:the greenhouse effect is a good thing because we would go into an ice age otherwise,our data say no,a new ice age is not hanging over our heads,” said Eric Wolff from the British Antarctic Survey.“Now we have eight examples of how the climate goes in and out of ice ages...and you can learn what the rules are that go into the climate models that tell us about the future.”
Scientists found that whenever temperatures rose in the frozen record,so did carbon dioxide level.“In 440,000 years we have never seen such greenhouse gas get as thick as it is today,”said Dr Wolff.
【解题导语】 全文讲述了目前的温暖时期将会持续15 000年。
28.In drilling through the ice in Antarctica,scientists have found that________.
A.the lowest temperature there is -40 ℃
B.the depth of ice is 3,000 meters
C.the ice has existed for 15,000 years
D.snowfalls are kept in certain patterns
解析:选D 细节理解题。由第三段第二句话“...has at least 900,000 years of snowfalls,kept as neatly as the growth rings of a tree.”可知D项正确。
29.The information of the global climate conditions in the past can be obtained through________.
A.separating carbon dioxide from the air
B.examining the growth rings of trees
C.comparing different temperatures in different areas
D.studying the ice and air caught in each layer
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句话可知,每一层地层中所含的空气和冰含有关于过去的气候信息,故D项正确。
30.We can infer from Eric Wolff's words that ________.
A.there is something wrong with the data
B.greenhouse effect is always a bad thing
C.a new ice age will not come in the near future
D.greenhouse gas will get thick in the future
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第六段首句Eric Wolff的话“... a new ice age is not hanging over our heads”可推知,在不久的将来,新的冰河时代不会出现,故C项正确。
31.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Research over the Antarctic Area
B.Warm Period to Last about 15,000 Years
C.Report on the Eight Ice Ages in the Past
D.Hollywood Movies and the Global Climate
解析:选B 主旨大意题。全文讲述了目前的温暖时期将会持续15 000年,所以文章的最佳标题应该是B项。
D
Scientists have found an unusual way to keep our planet from overheating.All you have to do is to throw a few comets (彗星) at Earth,and its orbit will be changed.Our world will then be sent to a safer,colder part of the solar system.
This idea of improving our climate is the result of a group of American astronomers and engineers who say their plan could add another six billion years to the useful lifetime of our planet,effectively doubling its working life.
The plan put forward by Dr.Laughlin,and his colleagues Don Korycansky and Fred Adams,involves carefully directing a comet so that it comes close to our planet and passes on some of its gravitational energy to Earth.
Engineers would then direct their comet so that it passed close to Jupiter or Saturn.It would pick up energy from one of these giant planets.Later its orbit would bring it back to Earth ,and the process would be repeated.
In the short term,the plan provides an ideal solution to global warming,although the team was actually concerned with a much bigger danger.The sun is sure to heat up in about a billion years which will destroy our biosphere (生物圈)—by burning us up.
The plan has one or two worrying aspects,however.For a start,space engineers would have to be very careful about how they directed their comet towards Earth.The slightest miscalculation (误算) in orbit could fire it straight at Earth—with frightful results.
There is also a question of the moon,as the current issue of Scientific American points out.If Earth was pushed out of its current position it is most likely that the moon would be stripped away from Earth.
【解题导语】 科学家们发现的防止地球过热的方法是“向地球发射彗星,让其改变地球的运行轨道,从而把地球拖到太阳系一个更安全、更凉爽的地方”。
32.The way scientists have found to prevent global warming is to ________.
A.change the Earth's moving direction
B.move the Earth to a cooler part of the space
C.reduce the amount of greenhouse gases
D.put the Earth close to comets
解析:选B 细节理解题。由第一段第二、三句话可知科学家们发现的防止地球过热的方法是“向地球发射彗星,让其改变地球的运行轨道,从而把地球拖到太阳系一个更安全、更凉爽的地方”,故B项正确。
33.If the idea were successful,________.
A.the Earth would last much longer
B.we would never worry about global warming
C.people would double their working life
D.the Earth's energy would be greater than ever
解析:选A 细节理解题。由第二段可知A项正确。
34.Engineers would make the comet pass close to Jupiter or Saturn to ________.
A.bring it back to the Earth
B.make way for our planet to pass
C.pick up its energy
D.make the Earth cooler
解析:选C 细节理解题。由第四段第二句话可知C项正确。
35.What can we learn from the passage?
A.The plan is an ideal solution to global warming.
B.There is little difficulty to carry out the plan.
C.There is not any risk to put the idea into reality.
D.It is not easy to carry out the plan without risks.
解析:选D 推理判断题。由文章后两段可知,从短期来看这个计划是理想的,但存在令人担忧的问题,毫无风险地实施起来并不容易。

One possible version:
The Most Serious Environmental
Problem—Global Warming
There_are_many_big_environmental_problems_on_the_earth_today,but_I_think_the_most_serious_one_is global warming.Global warming means an average increase in the earth's temperature.It is caused by gases from cars,waste gases from factories,destruction of forests and so on.Global warming will cause changes in climate.A warmer earth may lead to more rain and the rising of the sea level.In this case,some land will be flooded and it will also have a bad influence on both human beings and wildlife.
So,how to solve the problem of global warming is really urgent for human beings.What can we do? First of all,people should be educated to raise the awareness of environmental protection.Also,we should call for people to take action and encourage people to use bicycles instead of cars and clean poisonous gases before they come out of factories.Besides,we should plant more trees.If we try our best to take better care of the earth,we will make our world a better place.
