(2015·中原名校联考)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!” says Bruce Anderson.

Ⅱ.任务型阅读
Travel tips that are no longer true
We all love an inside trip, but some of the classic tips for travelers no longer hold true.
1.________
Book a plane ticket far in advance to save money.
This myth may have been true back in the 1960s, when flights were less common than they are today. Back then, the demand for a flight would naturally increase as the date approached, there being few other options.
2.________
According to recent studies, the best time to buy a domestic ticket was between six and seven weeks before.
3.________
Don't ignore the benefits of going straight to the hotel to negotiate
(商谈)
a good deal on a room. Many hotel chains offer rate guarantees and encourage customers to book directly. Hotels also frequently have discounts or some offers that third-party websites don't know. Apart from this, hotels give the upgrades, not the booking agents.
Avoid street food.
4.________
If this means standing up at a cheap street stall
(摊位), then follow the crowd. Don't sit down at a restaurant and spend four times more, on the simple assumption that it's the only safe option. Can you see what's going on in the kitchen?
Carry your money in a special pocket or pouch.
This is the fastest way to stand out from locals — who will have their money in a wallet or purse. Only take what you need when you leave your hotel room.
5.________
A.When in Rome, do what the Romans do.
B.And make sure to put your wallet in a front pocket.
C.This is only true if you are buying products that are heavily taxed.
D.Let yourself relax in a warm room for one or two people in single beds.
E.Check the updates on these tall tales (说大话) to save cash and add experience to your trip.
F.These days, many alternatives for the most popular routes mean that demand stays steady.
G.The best hotel prices are on travel websites.

Ⅲ.语篇解读:本对话讲述了Jack的两个儿子在学校的情况。Jason一直努力学习,希望考上哈佛大学;Mark不爱学习,但热衷于足球。
1.studying 考查固定短语。stop doing sth.意为“停止做某事”,本句意为“杰森从来不会停止学习”,故填studying。
2.to 考查固定短语。be likely to do ...为固定短语,意为“可能做某事”,另根据句子“Jason is likely ... be at the top of his class”可知,杰森很有可能是班上的第一名,故填to。
3.working 考查时态。He's been是He has been的缩写,另根据时间状语“every evening for months(这几个月每天晚上)”可知,应用现在完成进行时,表示“一直在……”。故填working。
4.to enter 考查细节理解。根据句子“He is hoping ... Harvard University”可知,他这么努力学习应该是想上哈佛大学。hope to do sth.“希望做某事”,因此填to enter。
5.himself 考查代词。本句中不缺成分,因此不会填代词的主格形式,此处用反身代词,表加强语气或者强调,故填himself。
6.for 考查介词搭配。“我”希望他会出去好好玩一下来做一下改变,for有表目的之意,故填for。
7.rarely 考查词性转换。本句中不缺成分,谓语动词为does,而rare是形容词,不能修饰动词,故要变为副词形式,故填rarely。
8.rushes 考查时态。本句为并列句,前半句为一般现在时,并列句前后时态应一致,故后句也应是一般现在时,且主语为he,谓语动词要用第三人称单数,故填rushes。
9.plenty 考查固定短语。plenty of为固定短语,表示“很多”,此处意为赚很多的钱,故填plenty。
10.what 考查宾语从句。find out后为宾语从句,what在从句中作宾语。故填what。
