CO reduction 【考点】考察社会生活类阅读【文章大意】作者在本文中把现在的美国环境问题和以前的环境问题进行了比较，尤其是几项数据的对比。说明人们现在的环境保护意识有了很大的提高。其中很重要的一项就是环境教育所起的作用。1. 【答案】C 【试题解析】细节题。根据文章第一段第2句“We didnt 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.可知在1970年世界地球日开始的时候，人们甚至都不知道有“环境这个词”，更不要说知道存在着环境问题了。故C正确。2. 【答案】A 【试题解析】细节题。根据文章第二段2,3行Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement.中的especially millions of grass-roots Americans尤其是千百万的一般民众。可知环境保护的主要支持来自普通民众。故A正确。3. 【答案】D 【试题解析】推理题。根据第二段4,5行According to US government reports , emissions (排放)from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 tons .The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9 .可知通过人们的共同努力，现在的污染排放的数字已经大大地减少了。故D正确。A项中的to the lowest是错误的。B项说已经解决了污染问题，这一说法是错误的。文章中只是说The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9 .CO排放超标的城市从40降低到9.而不是C项含义。4. 【答案】A 【试题解析】推理题。根据文章最后一段1,2行Twenty five years ago , there were hardly any education programs for environment .Today , its hard to find a public school , university , or law school that does not have such a kind of program .可知现在几乎每个学校都有环境保护方面的教育的内容。说明教育在环境保护方面有很重要的作用。故A正确。【长难句解析】1.“We didnt know at that time there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it,”【翻译】在那时人们甚至都不知道有“环境这个词”，更不要说知道存在着环境问题了。【分析】本句中的动词know后面的there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it,”是宾语从句，其中的let alone更不必说；2. The number of cities producing CO2 beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9 .【翻译】产生超过CO2排放标准的城市的数量从40减少到了9个。【分析】本句中的现在分词短语producing CO2 beyond the standard在句中做定语修饰名词cities。因为两者之间存在主动关系，所以使用现在分词做定语，相当于which produce.；另外本句中的the number of“的数量”，在句中做主语，谓语动词使用单数形式。十六、I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签）everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed! ” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder. The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation，I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬)under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didnt notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, MThanks. ”Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didnt always agree, but we learned the key to living together： giving in, cleaning up and holding on.36.What made Kate so angry one evening?A.She couldnt find her books.B.She heard the author shouting loud.C.She got the news that her grandma was ill.D.She saw the authors shoes beneath her bed.37.The author tidied up the room most probably because .A.she was scared by Kates angerB.she hated herself for being so messyC.she wanted to show her careD.she was asked by Kate to do so38.How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed?A.By analyzing causes.B.By showing differences.C.By describing a process.D.By following time order.39.What might be the best title for the story?A.My Friend KateB.Hard Work Pays OffC.How to Be OrganizedD.Learning to Be Roommates【考点】考察社会生活类阅读【文章大意】作者在本文中叙述了自己的室友Kate是一个非常有条理的人，而我是一个很没有规矩意识的人，东西总是乱放。后来我们两个人之间发生的一场冲突让我学会了去关心她，学会了要收拾整理自己的东西。学会了如何做一个室友。36.D 考察细节题。根据文章第二段1，2行：take your shoes away！why under my bed，可知让她发怒的是她看见我的鞋子在她的床下面。故D正确。37.C 推理题。根据文章第三段最后2行All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart突然我的心里产生了一个很温暖的感觉。接着在文章第四段里作者主动地帮助打扫房间，可知作者这样做为了表示自己的关心，因为Kate的奶奶生病了，她非常难受。故C正确。38.B 推理题。在第一段里作者详细叙述了Kate是一个很有条理的人，她的东西总是很整洁，有些东西甚至都贴上标签。而我总是很杂乱，东西乱放。作者是通过叙述我们两人之间的差异来组织这一段的内容的。故B正确。39.D 主旨大意题。作者在本文中叙述了自己的室友Kate是一个非常有条理的人，而我是一个很没有规矩意识的人，东西总是乱放。后来我们两个人之间发生的一场冲突让我学会了去关心她，学会了要收拾整理自己的东西。学会了如何做一个室友。故D正确。【长难句解析】1.We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call.【翻译】要不是一个电话，我们不可能能够在一起待一分钟。【分析】本句是一个条件句的虚拟语气，但是它的条件并不是通过if条件句表示出来的，而是通过介词短语but for要不是；如果没有.；该介词短语相当于if条件状语从句。2.When she hung up, she quickly crawled under her covers, sobbing.【翻译】当她挂完电话，她很快爬上了床，小声哭泣着。【分析】本句中有一个when引导的时间状语从句，动词短语hang up表示挂断电话。后面的现在分词sobbing与句子主语she构成逻辑上的主动关系，所以使用现在分词做伴随状语。表示该动作与谓语动词同时发生。
