In our rush to make life easier, we have decided to go blindly into the future without paying a thought to the severe consequences. The results have been great profits for individuals who have invested their time and money in industries that have improved their (and some others’) quality of life. 1.

But if we can create pollution, we can reduce it too. The problem is time and money. And time and money happen to be the investment that the creators of the pollution claim to have made to make life better for all, which means they have made a mess, to some or a large extent, in all cases.

The United States suffered from problems similar to what China is facing today. 2. The US government finally opened its eyes to the problems and told industries to cut down their polluting emissions（排放）, for which it implemented strict laws requiring clean air and water. All the states in the country follow the regulations, and have added additional requirements that enhance the environmental laws. The end result is cleaner air and water.

3. The answer: the costs for keeping the environment clean eventually became the burden of the people. The equipment needed to create a healthy lifestyle has been added to the cost of making what we want.

The materialistic world that we live in is the cause of most of the pollution. If you wish, you can move away from cities and industrial regions causing the problem. 4. However, you will soon realize how really small the world is when pollution catches up with us through the wind and rain.

It will take time and money to solve the problems the environment faces today. 5. What the Chinese government should do is to immediately implement strict laws that require clean air and water.

A. So who paid for the clean air and water?

B. The results left scars on the land, dirty air and water.

C. If so, you may escape from the commonly known PM2.5.

D. I’m sure you can find places that are yet to be affected by the pollution.

E. The US government created the Environmental Protection Agency to oversee these laws.

F. But the longer we wait, the worse they will become and the more they will cost to solve.

G. However, that has also brought us side effects like polluted air and water we have to endure.

（This selection was originally published in 1992. Pluto （冥王星） is no longer classified as a planet.）

Pluto is in many ways the strangest of the planets. It is small and has a large moon（called Charon）. Its orbit（軌道） is unusual, which may cause it to have seasons in the sense that when it is close to the sun, the liquid （液體）methane（甲烷）on its surface boils to form a kind of atmospheric haze（煙霧）. When the planet moves farther away from the sun, it starts to snow solid（固體） methane.

Pluto is not dark. Despite its great distance from the sun, the surface of Pluto is probably as bright as a moonlit night on Earth. The reason is all that methane, which is as white as newly fallen snow.

The discovery of Pluto was more accident than design. The American astronomer Percival Lowell had predicted the existence of a ninth planet（he called it Planet X）based on what he took to be irregularities in the orbit of Neptune. Today astronomers argue that these "irregularities" weren't real, but the result of instrumental error. Nevertheless, Lowell produced predictions about where Planet X ought to be（although, to be honest, the predictions changed occasionally when he redid the calculations）.In any case, in 1930 Clyde Tombaugh, doing a systemic sky survey that would have found the planet no matter where it was, discovered the planet we now call Pluto. By coincidence, its position was pretty close to where Lowell's last prediction said it should be. Was it just luck? We'll never know．

1.On Pluto's surface, liquid methane boils to form an atmospheric haze, which would be most similar to ____.

A. light B. darkness

C. liquid D. steam（水蒸氣）

2.What effect is produced by including the question "Was it just luck?" at the end of the text?

A. The question encourages the reader to think about why Pluto is a strange planet．

B. The question encourages the reader to think about how planets are discovered．

C .The question suggests that all discoveries are luck, not just design．

D. The question suggests that other planets were found in different ways．

3.What contributes to the brightness of Pluto?

A. Methane on its surface. B. Its great distance from the sun.

C. Light from its moon, Charon. D. Its closeness to the sun.

4.The text mainly wants to ____．

A. give a brief introduction of Pluto

B. talk about the discovery of Pluto

C. prove the exact position of Pluto

D. describe the strangeness of Pluto

Most people today think of chocolate as something sweet to eat or drink and can be easily found in stores around the world. It might surprise you that chocolate was once highly treasured.

The wealthy people of Spain first enjoyed a sweetened chocolate drink. Later, the popularity of the drink spread throughout Europe. Chocolate remained a drink that only wealthy people could afford to drink until the eighteenth century. During the period known as the Industrial Revolution, new technologies helped make chocolate less costly to produce.

Farmers grow cacao trees in many countries in Africa, Central and South America, but these trees are difficult to grow. They require an exact amount of water, warmth, soil and protection. After about five years, cacao trees start producing large fruits called pods, which grow near the trunk of the tree. The seeds inside these pods are harvested to make chocolate. Growing cacao is very hard work for farmers. Today, chocolate industry officials, activists, and scientists are working with farmers. They are trying to make sure that cacao can be grown in a way that is easy for the farmers and safe for the environment.

The market value of the yearly cacao crop around the world is more than five billion dollars. Chocolate is especially popular in Europe and the United States. Each year, Americans eat an average of more than 5 kilograms of chocolate per person. Specialty shops that sell costly chocolate are also very popular. Many offer chocolate lovers the chance to taste chocolate grown in different areas of the world.

Going green seems to be fad(時尚)for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad, we can’t really say, but for the tow of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.

On April22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.

With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My life and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.

Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyle. We now shop at organic(有機(jī)的)stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don’t need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.

Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.

1.What might be the best title for the passage?

A. Going Green.

B. Protecting the Planet.

C. Keeping Open-Minded

D. Celebrating Our Green Year.

2.It was difficult for the couple to live a green life for the whole year because_________.

A. they needed to perform unusual green tasks

B. they didn’t know how to educate other people

C. they were unwilling to reduce their energy

D. they were expected to follow the green fad

3.What did the couple do over the course of Our Green Year?

A. They tried to get out of their ungreen habits.

B. They ignore others’ ungreen behavior.

C. They chose better chemical cleaners.

D. They sold their home-made food.

4.What can we infer form the last paragraph?

A. The government will give support to the green people.

B. The couple may continue their project in the future.

C. Some people disagree with the couple’s green ideas.

D. Our Green Year is becoming a national campaign.
