三、阅读理解(每小题2分.共24分)
(A)
Green is an important colour in nature. It is the colour of grass and the leaves on trees. It is the colour of most growing plants too.
Sometimes, green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet finished or plants that are not ripe.
For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns had not yet developed. A century or so later, a greenhorn was soldier who had not yet had any experience in war. In the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.
About one hundred years ago, "greenhorn" was a popular expression in the west of America. Old-timers used it to describe a man who had just arrived from one of the biggest city in the East. The greenhorn didn't have the skills that he would need to live in the hard and rough country.
Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have "a green thumb". The expression came from the early 1900s.
A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.
The Green Revolution(革命)is a name which was given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural(农业的)scientists who had green thumbs. ( )1. According to the passage, a greenhorn means now.
A. a young cow or ox whose horns have not yet developed
B. a soldier who has not had any experience in war
C. a person who is new in a job
D. a man who doesn't have the skills to live in the country
( )2. The Chinese meaning of the underlined word “ripe" in the second paragraph is “”.
A.未完成的
B.成熟的
C.青涩的
D.老练的
( )3. Which of the following about the Green Revolution is NOT right?
A. If there wasn't the Green Revolution, we would have no rice to eat.
B. The expression "the Green Revolution" appeared several years ago.
C. Because of the Green Revolution, we have more kinds of rice and other grains.
D. Agricultural scientists with green thumbs started the Green Revolution.
( )4. We can know from the passage that .
A. all growing plants are green
B. green is the most important colour in nature
C. a person with a green thumb can make plants grow well
D. the expression "a green thumb" has a history of two hundred years

A wetland park named Nanhaizi in south Beijing opened to the public for free, Beijing Times reported.
The park covers an area of 11. 65 square kilometres. Around 200,000 new trees in it turn the park into a natural oxygen bar(氧气吧). Visitors also have a chance to visit a special kind of animal—Pere David's Dear(麋鹿).
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Nanhaizi was a garden for hunting. Many wild animals lived there. It became farmland in the 1950s. People threw tons of rubbish into the pools and polluted the soil and underground water. Later, the local government realized it was a serious problem, so it invested(投资)about 600 million yuan to turn it into a wetland park. Now Nanhaizi Park is the largest wetland park in Beijing.
In order to protect the environment, people have reused the rubbish to build the park. They used waste with a diametre(直径)of more than 20 cm to build hills. Waste between 10 cm and 20 cm was used for roads and waste less than 10 cm for pavements(人行道). How about the pools with much rubbish in the past? There are many fish and water plants in them now.

Scientists have helped people understand the dangers the Earth faces. As people live on the Earth, we should be fully ready to deal with the dangers. If we do not pay more attention to the problems caused by air pollution, our Earth may no longer be a healthy place for plants, animals and people.
Cleaning up the air is a job that all countries must work on. The problems caused by air pollution can be solved, but a lot of work needs to be done. Governments around the world are beginning to work together to lower the levels of dangerous gases in the atmosphere(大气层). If this can be done well, the ozone layer(臭氧层)can rebuild itself, global warming can be controlled, and acid rain can be reduced.
In 1963, the government of the United States passed the Clean Air Act. More parts were added to the act in 1970, 1977 and 1990. As a result, cars now must reduce the amount of harmful gases. Power factories must use "clean coal" methods to reduce acid rain.
In 1970, the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA)was set up. The EPA's job is to make sure that environmental laws are being followed and to find out new dangers and offer solutions. The first World Earth Day also celebrated in 1970.
It is very important to solve air pollution. Each person can do something to protect the Earth. Here are some things you can do every day:
①Turn down the heat and the air conditioner.
②Use the dishwasher only when they are full of dishes.
③Practise the“3Rs": recycle, reuse and reduce.
④Plant a tree.
⑤Walk or ride your bike.

We parents like to make sure that our children are eating well and getting all the nutrients(营养)they need. Children need two or three kinds of vegetables every day.
A simple way to get children to eat vegetables is eating them ourselves. Following our habit, they may start eating vegetables. Don't say things like, "If you eat your vegetables, you can have desserts(餐后甜食)”. These methods work for a while but can possibly lead them to hate vegetables more. Giving your children new varieties(多样性)will help her or him develop a taste for trying new things.
Sometimes the simple things just don't work. We have to start becoming a little creative when it comes to making our children eat these vegetables. By doing this in the beginning when they are small, it will hopefully help them learn to love vegetables.
Think of creative ways to make children eat vegetables. For example, cut up vegetables like carrots, tomatoes, and assemble(集合)a creative way on a plate for an afternoon snack. Or try using cheese sauce either by dipping(浸)vegetables or by putting the cheese right on top of the
uncooked vegetables.
If you prefer, you can also add a teaspoon of sugar on top of cooked green beans and peas to give them a little sweeter taste. Doing this shouldn't lead to a sweet tooth as long as you only give them a small amount.
If you have a child that refuses to eat vegetables, some of the advice I've listed will help to turn that around. In the end, you're not just getting them to eat vegetables; you are helping them
to live a healthier lifestyle.
1. How many kinds of vegetables does a child need every day?(1分)
2. What is this article mainly talking about? (2分)
3. Do you like the ways your parents make you eat vegetables? Why or Why not? (3分)

Dear all,
Have you ever thought about what too many cars bring to our city? Yes, crowded roads and dirty air. Cars produce air pollution, which is harmful to everyone's health. It is time for us to make a change.
Why not ride bikes more often? Riding bikes has many advantages. Riding is exercise and can make us healthier. Riding doesn't produce pollution. And if more people ride bikes, there will be less pollution. The air will he nicer and the sky will be bluer.
Let's all do something for a greener city.
