Cycling isn’t always easy.Busy streets and few bike lanes and parking areas can make it a battle.But not even these difficulties can stop Europeans’ love for cycling.According to Reuters,more bicycles have been sold than cars in 26 of the European Union’s 28 states this year.
In some European countries,people really love bicycles.“People ride to work and take their bikes to the grocery store,”Bill Strickland,editor of Bicycling magazine,told the reporter from Reuters.
So what has led to cycling’s growing popularity in Europe?Cycling is “a safe,clean,healthy,inexpensive way to get around town,”theDailyStar concluded.“It not only reduces traffic problems and pollution,but also contributes to public health.”
Bike-friendly rules have also been made.Lots of cities have joined a European Union initiative (倡議) to make bicycles a form of city transport,like cars.Quite a few cities such as Stockholm,London,Florence and Munich now offer special bike lanes.Copenhagen takes it a step further by keeping bicycles and cars separated as much as possible.On these routes,traffic lights are designed to the rhythms of bicycles,not cars.For people living far from city centers,getting to work by bicycle alone may take too much time.That’s why many European countries now allow cyclists to bring their bicycles onto subway trains.Europeans are also creative in solving parking problems.Amsterdam has come up with a high-tech solution:you lock your bike to a rack (機架),which then goes underground.When you want your bike back,it is brought back to the surface.
【語篇解讀】本文描述的是歐洲人對自行車的熱愛,以及與此相關(guān)的種種措施。

答案B
解析根據(jù)最后一段中的“Stockholm,London,FlorenceandMunichnowofferspecialbikelanes.Copenhagentakesitastepfurtherbykeepingbicyclesandcarsseparatedasmuchaspossible”可知沒有提供特別的自行車道的城市是B項。
22.Why do people enjoy cycling in Europe from the passage?
A.Bicycles can be brought onto subway trains.
B.Cycling is a good way to get around town.
C.People can park their bicycles wherever they like.
D.Bicycles can be locked to a rack underground.
答案B
解析根據(jù)第三段中的“asafe,clean,healthy,inexpensivewaytogetaroundtown”可知選B項。
23.What’s the best title for the passage?
A.New rules are made for cyclists.
B.More bicycles are sold in Europe.
C.Bicycles need their own ways.
D.European people love bicycles.
答案D
解析根據(jù)全文的陳述可知,本文描述的是歐洲人對自行車的熱愛,以及與此相關(guān)的種種措施。

London is in a valley.So towns in valleys see the surrounding air staying to the lower point.During the night,cold air from surrounding hills falls down in the valleys.The fog reputation of London,which called the smog,comes from the fact that the houses were,in the past,heated by coal.Houses and factories gave off much pollution in the air and,in order to condense (濃縮) into tiny water droplets,moisture (濕度) needs to be in contact with something that has a mass.So,the valley,the city,the coal heating,a high pressure with no wind and staying air... and you get the London’s smog.
In common with many countries,Britain has serious environmental problems.In 1952,more than 4,000 people died in London because of the worst smog.The government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories and the situation improved a lot.
Today,London is much cleaner but there is a new problem:smog from cars.In December 1991,there was very little wind in London and pollution increased a lot.As a result,about 160 people died from pollution in just four days.
Part of the problem is the new “out of town” shopping centers.In the past,people often walked to shops near their homes or went by bus.Now,many people drive to the new shopping centers.As a result,the small shops have disappeared and more people have to travel to do their shopping.
Many people are trying to reduce the use of cars in Britain.Some cities now have special bicycle paths and many people cycle to work.Some people also travel to work together in one car to reduce the pollution and cost.
Sometimes people take “direct action”.In 1995,for example,many people wanted to stop a new road from being built near Newbury.They set up houses in trees and lived there for many months.It took a long time to force the people out of the trees before the construction work on the road could continue.
【語篇解讀】本文講述了汽車產(chǎn)生的尾氣所帶來的危害及政府和人民采取的措施。

27.What is the best title for this passage?
A.To Reduce the Use of Cars
B.The Disadvantages Brought by the Use of Cars
C.Smog from Cars in Britain
D.People’s Actions against Smog
答案C

If you really want to go green,here’s good news:eating green is good for you.The very foods with a high carbon (碳) cost — meat,pork,dairy products,processed snacks — also tend to be filled with fat and calories.A green diet would be mostly vegetables and fruits,whole grains (全谷物),fish and lean meats (瘦肉) like chicken — a diet that is good for environment and your figure.Eating green can be healthier and beneficial to the climate.
It may be hard to believe that a meal at McDonald’s produces more carbon than your trip to a faraway place.More than 37% of the world’s land is used for agriculture,much of which was once forested.Deforestation (砍伐森林) is a major source of carbon.The fertilizer (化肥) and machinery needed on a modern farm also have a large carbon footprint,as does the network of ships and trucks that brings the food from the farm to your plate.
The most efficient way to reduce the carbon footprint of your menu is to eat less meat,especially beef.Raising cattle takes a lot more energy than growing the equivalent (相等的) amount of grains,fruits or vegetables.What’s more,the majority of cattle in the US are fed on grain and loads of it—670 million tons in 2002—and the fertilizer used to feed that creates separate environmental problems.
Focus on eating lower on the food chain,with more plants and fruits and less meat and dairy.It’s simple.We can change today what goes into our bodies for the health of our planet and ourselves.

Since the first Earth Day in 1970,Americans have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment.“We didn’t know at that time that there even was an environment,let alone that there was a problem with it,” says Bruce Anderson,president of EarthDayUSA.
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 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 million 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!” says Bruce Anderson.
【語篇解讀】 本文是一篇說明文。主要介紹了自從1970年的第一個“地球日”以來, 美國人在環(huán)保問題認識上的變化以及他們采取了一些有效措施積極應(yīng)對環(huán)境問題等。文章最后還指出了教育在環(huán)保方面的重要性。
32.AccordingtoAnderson,before1970,Americanshadlittleideaabout .?
A.thesocialmovement
B.recyclingtechniques
C.environmentalproblems
D.theimportanceofEarthDay
答案C
解析根據(jù)第一段中的“Wedidn’tknowatthattimethatthereevenwasanenvironment,letalonethattherewasaproblemwithit”可知,當時美國人對環(huán)境問題沒有足夠的認識,因此應(yīng)選擇C項。
33.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.
答案A
解析根據(jù)第二段第二句“Businesspeople,politicalleaders,universityprofessors,andespeciallymillionsofgrass-rootsAmericansaretakingpartinthemovement”可知,這里強調(diào)了這個運動的支持者應(yīng)該是那些普通的美國民眾,因此答案應(yīng)是A項Thegrass-rootslevel,從而排除前面提到的那幾類人。
34.WhathaveAmericansachievedinenvironmentalprotection?
A.Theyhavecutcaremissionstothelowest.
B.Theyhavesettledtheirenvironmentalproblems.

D.Theyhavereducedpollutionthrougheffectivemeasures.
答案D
解析文章第三段的第一句說明了汽車和卡車的尾氣排放量從每年1,030萬噸降到了550萬噸, 由此可排除A項;再結(jié)合第二句“一氧化碳排放超標的城市從40個降到了9個”可知C項是錯誤的;根據(jù)第三句提到的“環(huán)境問題依然嚴峻”可知這個問題還沒有得到解決, 所以排除B項。本段列舉的這些數(shù)字證明了美國人采取了有效措施, 減少了環(huán)境污染, 因此答案選D項。
35.What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph?
A.Education. B.Planning.
C.Green living. D.CO reduction.
答案A
解析結(jié)合最后一段提到的“25年以前,在美國幾乎沒有關(guān)于環(huán)境的教育項目,而如今, 很難找到?jīng)]有類似項目的公立學校、大學或者法學院了”,再結(jié)合布魯斯所說的“沒有教育,就無法改變環(huán)境問題”等, 我們可以推斷出教育(education)的重要性。

根據(jù)下面短文,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
Farmers,especially in developing countries,are often criticized for cutting down forests.But a new study suggests that many farmers recognize the value in keeping trees.
Researchers using satellite images found at least ten percent tree cover on more than one billion hectares (公頃) of farmland. 36 ?
The study found the most tree cover in South America. 37 North Africa and West Asia have the least.And it also found that climate conditions alone could not explain the amount of tree cover in different areas. 38 ?
There are areas with few trees but also few people,and areas with many trees and many people.The findings suggest that things like land rights,markets or government policies can influence tree planting and protection.
Dennis Garrity heads the World Agroforestry Center. 39 The problem,he says,is that policy-makers and planners have been slow to recognize this and to support such efforts.?
The satellite images may not show what the farmers are using the trees for,but trees provide nuts,fruit,wood and other products.They provide windbreaks and shade from the sun. 40 Even under drought conditions,trees can often provide food and a way to earn money until the next growing season.?
A.Almost all of it is covered by trees.
B.That is almost half the farmland in the world.
C.They also help prevent soil loss and protect water supplies.
D.He says farmers are acting on their own to protect and plant trees.
E.Next comes Africa south of the Sahara,followed by Southeast Asia.

G.Nor could the size of nearby populations,meaning people and trees can live together.

Diets have changed in China — and so too has its top crop.Since 2011 the country 56 (grow) more corn than rice.Corn production has jumped nearly 125 percent over 57 past 25 years,while rice has increased only 7 percent.?
A taste for meat is 58 (actual) behind the change:An important part of its corn is used to feed chickens,pigs,and cattle.Another reason for corn’s rise:The government encourages farmers to grow corn instead of rice 59 (improve) water quality.Corn uses less water 60 rice and creates less fertilizer (化肥) runoff.This switch has decreased 61 (pollute) in the country’s major lakes and reservoirs and made drinking water safer for people.?
According to the World Bank,China accounts for about 30 percent of total 62 (globe) fertilizer consumption.The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture finds that between 2005—when the government 63 (start) a soil-testing program 64 gives specific fertilizer recommendations to farmers—and 2011,fertilizer use dropped by 7.7 million tons.That prevented the emission (排放) of 51.8 million tons of carbon dioxide.China’s approach to protecting its environment while 65 (feed) its citizens “offers useful lessons for agriculture and food policymakers worldwide,” says the bank’s Juergen Voegele.?
答案與解析
【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文。中國近年來根據(jù)人們的膳食變化調(diào)整農(nóng)作物種植結(jié)構(gòu),為全球生態(tài)環(huán)境保護做出了貢獻。
56.hasgrown 考查時態(tài)和主謂一致。由時間狀語since2011可知句子用現(xiàn)在完成時,主語thecountry是第三人稱單數(shù),故謂語動詞用hasgrown。
57.the 考查固定搭配中的定冠詞。overthepast25years在過去的25年里。
58.actually 考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。修飾bebehindthechange,用形容詞actual的副詞形式actually。
59.toimprove 考查非謂語動詞。此處表示“政府鼓勵農(nóng)民種植玉米而不是水稻來改善水質(zhì)”,故用不定式作目的狀語。
60.than 考查連詞。由句中的比較級less可知,此處將玉米和水稻進行比較,故填than。
61.pollution 考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。decrease“降低,減少”,后接名詞作賓語,pollute的名詞形式是pollution。
62.global 考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。修飾名詞短語fertilizerconsumption應(yīng)用形容詞,名詞globe的形容詞形式是global。
63.started 考查時態(tài)。由2005可知事情發(fā)生在過去,應(yīng)用一般過去時,故謂語動詞用start的過去式started。
64.that/which 考查引導定語從句。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,所填詞引導定語從句,修飾指物的asoil-testingprogram且在從句中作主語,故用that或which。
65.feeding 考查非謂語動詞。China與feed是主動關(guān)系,所以用“連詞+現(xiàn)在分詞”形式作狀語。

Dear Tom,
I’m delighted to learn that you are interested in our tree-planting activity.
The activity is held annually with different themes.This year’s theme is “Building a Green Home”.The activity was held on March 12,our National Tree-planting Day.Early in the morning,all the teachers and students gathered on the West Hill,where we spent the whole morning digging,planting and watering.Eventually about 200 trees were planted.Seeing the trees waving in the warm wind,we all felt excited and proud despite tiredness.
Undoubtedly,we benefit a lot from the activity,which not only brings us the pleasure of labor but also helps us to develop team spirit.Hopefully you can join us next year.
Yours,
Li Hua
