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. Advanced lights, motors, and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.Twenty five years ago, there were hardly any education programs for environment. Today, its hard to find a public school, university, or law school that does not have such a kind of program. “Until we do that, nothing else will change!” say Bruce Anderson.21.According to Anderson, before 1970, Americans had little idea about _A. the social movement B. recycling techniquesC. environmental problems D. the importance of Earth Day22.Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?A. The grass roots level B. The business circleC. Government officials D. University professors23.What have Americans achieved in environmental protection?A. They have cut car emissions to the lowestB. They have settled their environmental problemsC. They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.D. They have reduced pollution through effective measures.24.What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph?A. Education B. PlanningC. Green living D. CO reductionBMy students entered the art room with their usual eagerness to see what they would be learning in todays class. Little did they know they were going to be students for a new teaching method that is spreading the nation.I often use videos as previews and supplements (补充) to our art lessons providing students with a variety of artists showing their skills in real-life situations outside the classroom. Finding a new painting technique called glue batik(胶水蜡染), I thought of something new I hadnt tried before! How awesome would it be to learn a new technique together with artists? The lesson was planned, presented to the students without any introduction or set objectives. I also asked the students to watch and pause the video as often as they needed to.They watched as the artist explained and showed her skills, taking notes on her steps and results. After the video, they shared what they felt the artists objectives were, her end result using art vocabulary as well as the steps they would need to know to present their own examples. Then they began creating their works using the glue batik technique.Surfing the Internet a couple of weeks later, I found that the teaching method I used sounded very familiar to a new movement in education called flipped teaching, which was developed by Jonathan Bergmann. He asked his students to watch video lectures at home and do exercises (homework) in class under supervision (监督). He found that grades went up and he also found time for other types of activities, which Bergmann states are more important than the videos.Back to my art class, the students were learning to get ideas, make predictions, and explain reasoning to their classmates. Together they compared, asked questions and made discoveries as they presented the technique.25.Which of the following is one of the benefits of flipped teaching?A. Teachers neednt check students homeworkB. Students can control their own learning pace.C. Students can choose whatever they want to learn.D. Teachers can develop their own teaching methods.26.Who plays a central role in the flipped teaching?A. The artist. B. The parent.C. The teacher. D. The student.27.What is the best title for the text?A. The flipped teaching I used in art classB. Jonathan Bergmanns flipped teachingC. A teaching method spreading the nationD. A new painting technique called glue batikC9 days for only $839 (children: half of the price)Price covers: international airfares, local transportation, hotel expenses, all meals, daily tours and visas for US citizens.Our address: No. 178, Zhongguancun Street, Haidian District, BeijingPhone number:ay 1-3 BeijingOur guide will pick you up at Beijing airport and take you to the hotel near Wangfujing (Address: No. 72, Wangfujing Road,.

For the first time Venusian scientists managed to land a satellite on the planet Earth, and it has been sending back signals as well as photographs ever since.The satellite was directed into an area known as Manhattan(named after the great Venusian astronomer Prof. Manhattan, who first discovered it with his telescope 20,000 light years ago). Because of excellent weather conditions and extremely strong signals, Venusian scientists were able to get valuable information as to the feasibility(可行性)of a manned flying saucer(飞碟)landing on Earth. A press conference was held at the Venus Institute of Technology.“We have come to the conclusion, based on last weeks satellite landing,” Pro. Zog said, “that there is no life on the Earth.”“How do you know this?” the science reporter of the Venus Evening Star asked.“For on thing, Earths surface in the area of Manhattan is composed of solid concrete and nothing can grow there. For another, the atmosphere is filled with carbon monoxide and other deadly gases and nobody could possibly breathe this air and survive.”“What does this mean as far as our flying saucer program is concerned?”“We shall have to take our own oxygen with us, which means heavier flying saucer than we originally planned.”“Are there any other risks that you discovered in your studies?”“Take a look at his photo. You see this dark black cloud floating over the surface of Earth?” We call this the Consolidated Edison Belt. We dont know what it is made of, but it could give us a lot of trouble and we shall have to make further tests before we send a Venus Being there.”“If what you say is true, wont this set back the flying saucer program several years?”“Yes, but we shall proceed as soon as the Grubstart gives us the added funds.”“Pro. Zog, why are we spending billions and billions of zilches to land a flying saucer on Earth when there is no life there?“Because if we Venusians can learn to breathe in an Earth atmosphere, then. We can live anywhere.”32.The Venusians were excited this week because they _.A. landed a satellite with Venus astronauts on EarthB. made a first-rate flying saucerC. got an Earth Being to VenusD. directed a satellite into Earth33.According to Pro. Zong, why will the Venusians have to take their own oxygen with them?A. Because they need it on their way to the planet of EarthB. Because the Earths atmosphere is filled with deadly gasesC. Because deadly gases is far from enough on EarthD. Because there is no air on the planet of Earth34.The “dark black cloud” in the photograph refers to _.A. the polluted air floating over the surface of EarthB. the mass of tiny drops of water floating above EarthC. the concrete that is unknown to everywhereD. the dark clouds gathering before a storm breaks35.Whats the purpose of the writer?A. to arouse the awareness of protecting the earthB. to introduce a Venusians science programC. to tell us the serious pollution of the VenusD. to tell us an exciting Venusians exploration第二节（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。选项中有两项为多余选项。The jobs of the future have not yet been invented. 36.
