As cultural symbols go, the American car is quite young. The Model T Ford was built at the Piquette Plant in Michigan a century ago, with the first rolling off the assembly line(装配线) on September 27, 1908. Only eleven cars were produced the next month. But eventually Henry Ford would build fifteen million of them.
Modern America was born on the road, behind a wheel. The car shaped some of the most lasting aspects of American culture: the roadside diner, the billboard, the motel, even the hamburger. For most of the last century, the car represented what it meant to be American梘oing forward at high speed to find new worlds. The road novel, the road movie, these are the most typical American ideas, born of abundant petrol, cheap cars and a never-ending interstate highway system, the largest public works project in history.
In 1928 Herbert Hoover imagined an America with 揳 chicken in every pot and a car in every garage. Since then, this society has moved onward, never looking back, as the car transformed America from a farm-based society into an industrial
The cars that drove the American Dream have helped to create a global ecological disaster. In America the demand for oil has grown by 22 percent since 1990.
The problems of excessive(过度的)?energy consumption, climate change and population growth have been described in a book by the American writer Thomas L. Friedman. He fears the worst, but hopes for the best.
Friedman points out that the green economy(经济)?is a chance to keep American strength. 揟he ability to design, build and export green technologies for producing clean water, clean air and healthy and abundant food is going to be the currency of power in the new century.
61.Why is hamburger mentioned in paragraph 2?
A.燭o explain Americans love for travelling by car.
B.燭o show the influence of cars on American culture.
C.燭o stress the popularity of fast food with Americans.
D.燭o praise the effectiveness of America抯 road system.
62.What has the use of cars in America led to?
A.燚ecline of economy.牋 B.燛nvironmental problems.
C.燗 shortage of oil supply.牋 D.A farm-based society.
63.What is Friedman抯 attitude towards America抯 future?
A.燗mbiguous.牋 B.燚oubtful.牋 C.燞opeful.牋 D.燭olerant.

Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he抯 an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Stein抯 jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bag.
Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts(收银台). The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these?headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like?Stein?to?make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.
Among the bag makers' argument: many cities with bans still allow shoppers爐o爌urchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy爐o爌roduce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly爐o爈ook at, they represent a small percentage of all爂arbage爋n the ground today.
The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy?to?make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.
Environmentalists don't dispute(质疑)?these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.
64.What has Steven Stein been hired to do?
A.燞elp increase grocery sales.
B.燫ecycle the waste material.
C.燬top things falling off trucks.
D.燗rgue for the use of plastic bags.
65.What does the word 揾eadwinds in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.燘ans on plastic bags.
B.燛ffects of city development.
C.燞eadaches caused by garbage.
D.燩lastic bags hung in trees.
66.What is the best title for the text?
A.燩lastic, Paper or Neither
B.營ndustry, Pollution and Environment
C.燫ecycle or Throw Away
D.燝arbage Collection and Waste Control
C
By the end of the century, if not sooner, the world抯 oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.
At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny marine microorganisms(海洋微生物) called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colourful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean colour varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the ocean抯 appearance.
Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate the global climate. But phytoplankton are?vulnerable?to the ocean’s warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.
Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT抯 Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3℃, it found that multiple changes to the colour of the oceans would occur. The model projects that currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions riper for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener. 揘ot only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing. she said, 揵ut the type of phytoplankton is changing.
And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, 搃t will change the type of fish that will be able to survive. Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.
Whatever colour changes the ocean experiences in the coming decades will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. 揑t抣l be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happening because of climate change, Dutkiewicz said, 揵ut the change in the colour of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.
67.What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?
A.The various patterns at the ocean surface.
B.The cause of the changes in ocean colour.
C.The way light reflects off marine organisms.
D.The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.
68.What does the underlined word 搗ulnerable in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Sensitive.燘.Beneficial.燙.Significant.燚.Unnoticeable.
69.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Phytoplankton play a declining role in the marine ecosystem.
B.Dutkiewicz抯 model aims to project phytoplankton changes.
C.Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.
D.Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.
70.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To assess the consequences of ocean colour changes.
B.To analyse the composition of the ocean food chain.
C.To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.
D.To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.
