Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of. However, today, more and more consumers are choosing “green” and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: “Will this shampoo damage the environment?” “Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?”

    A recent study showed that two out of five adults now consider the environmental safety of a product before they buy it. This means that companies must now change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that they are “green”, that is, friendly to the environment.

    Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds. Some supermarket products carry labels (標(biāo)簽) to show that the products are green. Some companies have made the manufacturing (生產(chǎn)) of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising.

    The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business. No longer will the public accept the old attitude of “Buy it, use it, throw it away and forget it.” The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.

1．It becomes clear from the text that the driving force  (勞力) behind green products is________.

    A. public caring for the environment

    B. companies' desire for bigger sales

    C. new ways of doing business

    D. rapid growth of supermarkets

2．What would be the best title for the text?

    A. Business and People

    B. Business Goes Green

    C. Shopping Habits Are Changing

    D. Supermarkets and Green Products

3．The underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refers to ________.

    A. a selling point

    B. the company name

    C. a great demand for health foods

    D. the manufacturing of green products

 

答案：A;B;D
解析：

1.      However, today, more and more consumers are choosing “green” and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. 根據(jù)這句可知正確答案為A。

2.      本文主要講的是，現(xiàn)在公眾為了保護(hù)環(huán)境都選擇綠色產(chǎn)品，因此企業(yè)都開始轉(zhuǎn)向生產(chǎn)綠色產(chǎn)品，所以最佳題目應(yīng)該為B。

3.      根據(jù)句子的意思判斷，it指的是生產(chǎn)綠色產(chǎn)品這個(gè)事實(shí)。

     Many animal lovers would like to do more to help animals, but aren't sure where to start
or feel like they just don't have the time. The good news is that there are many simple things
you can do to help protect animals.
     Think twice before you decide
     The decisions you make when it comes to eating meat or other animal products can go
a long way toward stopping the killing of animals. Consider eating a vegetarian(素食的)
diet. If you aren't ready to make this change, there are still things you can do. Do not buy
animal products from companies known to use practices that go against the law such as
using drugs to increase milk production in cows.
     Help get the word out
     Getting the word out about the problems faced by animals can be as easy as putting up
a notice on your car. Also, talk to your friends and family members about important issues
that are related to animals. Give some simple advice to a friend with a new pet about the
serious pet over-population problem we're facing. Turn to some books on the subject if
you are not so clear about the advice you give your friend.
     Write a letter
     We've all heard the saying, " The pen is more powerful than the sword". Put this idea
to the protection of animals. If a company has practices or rules that are harmful to animals,
write them a letter to let them know you are angry about them, and that you won't buy their
products until they make some changes. Write letters to state and local legislators(立法者)
to let them know how important it is that they support legislation that protects animals. Make
them know that their actions will have a great effect on your vote.
     Be more loving
     If you're considering adding a dog or a cat to your family, think about getting one from a
homeless-animal house rather than buying a pet. There are many wonderful animals just
waiting for a home. By taking back an animal from there, you will be helping in the fight
against pet over-population, as well as giving your money to those who are responsible for
taking care of pitiful animals.
     Let your actions be an example to others
     It may sound simple, but one of the best ways to help animals is to let your actions speak
to the world. You should do the following things first by yourself: Treat all living creatures
with respect. Care about your pets and look after them well. Avoid (避免)entertainment
places that use animals to perform. Support legislation (立法)that protects animals. All of
these things set an example for others to follow.

     Many people would interpret "The American dream" as "living like an American"-a two-story house
with a white picket fence; a family with two cars; and two children.
     However, the economic situation is now affecting the American way of life for 4.4 million people living
in the US, according to new census (人口普查) data. "It's going to have a long-term impact and to say
it's going to end is optimistic, " says Cheryl Russell, former editor-in- chief of American Demographics
magazine. "I'm more pessimistic that this is the new normal."
     So what is the new normal?
     *Marrying later. The average age of the first marriage has increased to 28.7 for men and 26.7 for
women, up from 27.5 and 25.9 respectively in 2006. At the same time, fewer people are getting married.
If the marriage rate had stayed the same as in 2006, there would have been about 4 million more married
people in 2010.
     *Fewer babies. There were 200,000 fewer births among women aged 20 to 34 in 2010 compared
with two years before. This was despite the fact that the number of women of childbearing age had gone
up by more than 1 million. "The recession(衰退) is the likely cause ," says Kenneth Johnson,
demographer at the University of New Hampshire's Carsey Institue, "Economic fertility (生育能力)"
because women delay …in uncertain times.
     *Breaking up is harder. The number of divorces has been falling for 25 years as people wait longer or
choose to live together before they get married. There were about 65,000 fewer divorces in 2010 than in
2008, a 7 percent decrease.
     *Crowd living. Unemployment is forcing more people to live together. The number of households
where people lived with "other relatives" climbed from 6.7 percent in 2006 to 7.2 percent in 2010.
     *Going public. Private school enrollment decreased from 13.6 percent in 2006 to 12.8 percent in
2010.
     *Fewer cars. The percent age of households without a car rose to 9.1 percent against 8.8 percent in
2006. The percent-age of households with two or more cars fell from 58 percent to 57.1 percent.
*Driving solo. When people are not working, they don't carpool. The proportion of people aged 16 to
64 in employment dropped greatly in all but one of the 50 largest metropolitan (大城市的) areas. That
has helped push the share of people driving to work alone from 76 percent in 2006 to 76.6 percent in
2010. Ride-sharing is down a full percentage point, to 9.7 percent.

1. What is the article mainly about?

A. The interpretation of "the American dream".
B. The significance of the current economic crisis.
C. Changes to the American lifestyle.
D. The traditional American way of life.

2. What might Cheryl Russell agree with according to the article?

A. A traditional lifestyle is much better and healthier.
B. The new study based on the members' financial reports.
C. The spirit of American dream will inspire Americans to get through the economic recession.
D. American lifestyles are being reshaped and will continue to change

3. What are the characteristics of the future American lifestyle?

a. Delayed marriage.
b. A lower divorce rate
c. Increased car ownership.
d. An increase in private school enrollment.
e. Having children later

A. abe          
B. ace          
C. bde          
D. bce  

4. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. The typical US family is expected to have three-story house with a big yard and two children.
B. The US birth rate rose slightly in 2010 compared with two years before.
C. A growing number of people are forced to share their homes with other relatives in the US.
D. US students prefer to go to private schools rather than pubic schools.

5. Why do more and more Americans drive solo to work in recent years, according to the passage ?

A. Because they don't like carpool.
