53、er 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 pro
54、blems 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 des

56、” says Bruce Anderson.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了自从1970年的第一个“地球日”以来,美国人在环保问题认识上的变化以及他们采取了一些有效措施积极应对环境问题等。文章最后还指出了教育在环保方面的重要性。32.AccordingtoAnderson,before1970,Americanshadlittleideaabout.A.thesocialmovementB.recyclingtechniquesC.environmentalproblemsD.theimportanceofEarthDay答案C解析根据第一段中的“Wedidntknowatthatti
57、methatthereevenwasanenvironment,letalonethattherewasaproblemwithit”可知,当时美国人对环境问题没有足够的认识,因此应选择C项。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解析根据第二段第二句“Businesspeople,politicall
58、eaders,universityprofessors,andespeciallymillionsofgrass-rootsAmericansaretakingpartinthemovement”可知,这里强调了这个运动的支持者应该是那些普通的美国民众,因此答案应是A项Thegrass-rootslevel,从而排除前面提到的那几类人。34.WhathaveAmericansachievedinenvironmentalprotection?A.Theyhavecutcaremissionstothelowest.B.Theyhavesettledtheirenvironmentalprobl
59、ems.C.TheyhaveloweredtheirCOlevelsinfortycities.D.Theyhavereducedpollutionthrougheffectivemeasures.答案D解析文章第三段的第一句说明了汽车和卡车的尾气排放量从每年1,030万吨降到了550万吨,由此可排除A项;再结合第二句“一氧化碳排放超标的城市从40个降到了9个”可知C项是错误的;根据第三句提到的“环境问题依然严峻”可知这个问题还没有得到解决,所以排除B项。本段列举的这些数字证明了美国人采取了有效措施,减少了环境污染,因此答案选D项。35.What is especially important
60、 for environmental protection according to the last paragraph?A.Education.B.Planning.C.Green living.D.CO reduction.答案A解析结合最后一段提到的“25年以前,在美国几乎没有关于环境的教育项目,而如今,很难找到没有类似项目的公立学校、大学或者法学院了”,再结合布鲁斯所说的“没有教育,就无法改变环境问题”等,我们可以推断出教育(education)的重要性。第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项
