make a difference. earth day was first observed on april 22.1970. the tradition began in the united states and is now an in-ternational focal point for people who are concerned about the environment.imagine a time before the clean air act, the clean water act, the endangered species act,and even the environmental protection agency. hot topics of the time were industrial pollution,nuclear accidents, oil dependency, pesticides, and a variety of social issues. however, policy-makers were not yet acting on many important environmental problems,earth day grew out of grassroots action and institutional support. student leader denis hayes and wisconsin senator gaylord nelson were two key organizers for the first event. over 20 mil-lion concerned citizens rallied for clean air and water. college students were a major force in the campaign, although participants of all ages were involved. still, we cannot really credit a handfulof individuals for the success of earth day. after all, a major message of earth day is that every single person has an important role in the environment.(80) the first earth day was very successful, inspiring the passage of congressional protec-tion for air, water, and endangered species. momentum from the demonstration also fueled theformation of the environmental protection agency.thirty years later, the focus has changed but the urgency remains the same. due to increas-ing amounts of scientific evidence that fossil fuels are changing the global climate, the theme for earth day 2000 is clean energy. the four major goals of earth day 2000 are clean cars, clean power, clean air, and clean investments.april 22nd, 2000 is the _years anniversary of the earth day.a30thb20thc10thd100th17、_ originated the earth

water.cclean automobiles.dclean investment.20、earth day is a day to _.aincrease fossil fuelsbpurify the watercsolve social issuesdprotect environment21、questions21-35are based on the following passage:suicide has been a cause of concern in most societies for a long time. the classical greeks,for example, required people who wanted to kill themselves to get permission from the senate.while this law is not without humor by today s standards, it clearly shows an awareness of the problem in times gone by. in today s society, suicide is much more prevalent than we want to admit. why do people try to take their own lives?(80)the motives for suicide can be categorized into areas such as a failure, wrath (暴怒),the need for attention，stress, and so on.however, the qualities of a person who wants to take his own life change from person to person, making it difficult to depict (描写) the typical vic-tim. to make the problem even more confusing, people will often camouflage (掩盖) their true feelings, thus causing their friends to disregard problems that should be viewed as serious.in the united states, a network of centers has been created to attempt to prevent suicides.people who are bitter, worried, or depressed are encouraged to contact workers at these centers.these workers, often trained volunteers, offer benevolent advice to the callers, trying to help the callers to see that suicide as a solutions to problems is an illusion. the accomplishments of these centers,insofar( 到这个程度 ) as their effectiveness to reduce suicide is concerned, are minimal.however, they have helped a lot of people with a wide variety of problems. so, in the somewhat amorphous (难以名状的) area of man helping his fellow man, they are certainly a success.which of the following statements is true according to the article?athe classical greeks did not know the existence of suicide.bsuicide has always been prevalent in all parts of the world.cin today s society, there are quite a number of people who commit suicide.dnowadays suicide is not as common as it was in the past.22、which of the following is not mentioned as a motive for suicide?ainsanity.bpressure.cthe need for attention.dgreat anger.23、which of the following statements is not true?apeople who want to take their own lives often disguise their feelings.bit is difficult to describe what kind of people tend to commit suicide.csuicide has been a problem in most societies since ancient times.dpeople who commit suicide all share certain characteristics.24、the word benevolent means_。arelevantbkindcseriousdeffective25、the third paragraph mainly tells us that_。aa network of centers has been quite effective in reducing suicideba network of centers has been quite successful in reducing suicidecpeople are making efforts to help those who tend to commit suicide and in a way,they are successfuldin the united states, people who want to commit suicide call a network of centers to get help26、questions26-40are based on the following passage:( 77 )the young people who talk of the village as being dead are talking nothing but non- sense, as in their hearts they must surely know.no, the village is not dead. there is more life in it now than there ever was. but it seems that village life is dead. gone for ever. it began to decline about a hundred years ago. when many girls left home to go into service in town many miles away, and men also left home in in-creasing numbers in search of work, and home was where work was. there are still a number of people alive today who can remember what village life meant in the early years of the present century. it meant finding your entertainment in the village of within walking distance of it. itmeant housewives tied to the home all day and every day. it meant going to bed early to save lamp-oil and coal.then came the first world war and the second world war. (78)after each war, new ide-as, new attitudes, new trades and occupations were revealed to villagers.the long-established or-der of society was no longer taken for granted. electricity and the motorcar were steadily operat-ing to make village life and town life almost alike. now with the highly-developed science and technology and high-level social welfare for all, there is no point whatever in talking any lon- ger about village life. it is just a life, and a better life.finally, if we have any doubts about the future, or about the many changes which we have seen in our lives, we have only to look in at the school playground any mid-morning; or see the children as they walk homeward in little groups. obviously the children are better fed, better clothed, better educated, healthier, prettier and happier than any generation of children that ever before walked the village street.by saying that village is not dead, but village life is dead, the writer suggests that_.athose young people who talk of the village as being dead are wrongbthe two statements are against each othercvillage life today is rather uninterestingdvillage life today is no longer like what it used to be27、it was _that village life began to take a sharp turn.aabout a century agobduring the two world warscwith electricity and motorcars introduced into the villagedonly recently28、as is suggested in paragraph 2, villagers in the past_.alived a simpler life than villagers todaybknew fewer people than villagers todaycfound it difficult to enjoy themselvesdliked to wash themselves with

about.dthere is no reason for talking about.30、from the passage we can see that the writer s attitude toward village life is_.apositivebnegativecneutraldunclearpart ii vocabulary and structure (30 %
