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 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 10.3 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! ” say Bruce Anderson . 25. According to Anderson , before 1970, Americans had little idea about ___A. the social movement?????? B. recycling techniquesC. environmental problems??? D. the importance of Earth Day 26. 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 27. 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 .28.

CWhat makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is “no”. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate(调查),how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works. The scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations. Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations. 29.What makes a scientist according to the passage? ? A.? The tools he uses.??????????? B.? His ways of learning.C.?? The way he uses his tools.???? D.? The various tools he use30.“The scientist, however, goes one step further,” the author says this to show?????? 。A.?the importance of information???? B. the importance of thinkingC. the difference between scientists and ordinary people ? D. the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs.31. A sound scientific theory should be one that?????? .A. does not only work under one set of conditions at one time, but also works under the same conditions at other timesB. leaves no room for improvementC. does not allow any change even under different conditions D. can be used for many purposes32. What is the main idea of the passage?A.?Scientists are different from ordinary people.B.?The theory of relativity.C.?Exactness is the core（核心）of science.D.?Exactness and way of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist.

???????????????????????????????????? D?? Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, winter skating or skiing in winter. It may be a game of some kind, football, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering（爬山）.?Those who have a passion（热情）for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.? Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different thing that it would be dangerous to ignore（忽视），but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.?If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no“matches”between“teams”of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork. The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than men. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities. ? ? A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of efforts and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.33．Mountaineering involves________?. ?A．cold?B．hardship?C．physical risk?D．all of the above34．The difference between a sport and a game has something to do with the kind of??????? .?A. activity?B. rules?C. uniform?D. participants35．Which is the best title for the passage??A．Mountaineering Is Different from Golf and Football ?B．Mountaineering Is More Attractive than Other Sports?C．Mountaineering?D．Mountain Climbers
