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, theformer governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first According to US government reports, emissions (排放)from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 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.

She decided to enter a competition named “Britishgot talent” at the age of 47 years. On April 15th 2009, when Susan got up to sing, the audience was shocked by her age and simplicity.Middle-aged women were not the usual type of competitor on the show and the audience was even more shocked when she said before starting to sing that she wanted to become a professional singer. To them she looked well past such possibilities. However, she amazed everybody with her wonderful voice and became an overnight singing star. It was reported that the audience all stood up and clapped warmly and that within 9 days, 100 million people had watched her performances and interviews on the internet.This was a lot progress for an unemployed woman who lived alone with her cat. Most of his life had been spent looking after her mother who had died aged 92, two years earlier. She had been solitary or in her words, “never been kissed”.

I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.32. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A. He got an older model than he had expected.B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C. He could have bought it at a lower price.D.

How did the author finally get this TV set working again?A. By shaking and hitting itB. By turning it on and offC. By switching channelsD. By having it repaired35. How does the author sound when telling the story?A. CuriousB. AnxiousC. CautiousD. Humorous第二节七选五（共5 小题: 每小题 2 分, 满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
