there are many good books that will help you learn. to get started, ask your teacher or your friends for some advice. you can also look at some good websites with information about the environment and climate（气候） change. climate change may be a big problem, but there are many little things we can do to make a difference. driving a car or using electricity（电力） is not wrong. we just have to be smart about it. some people use less energy by sharing a car. for example, four people can ride together in one car instead of driving four cars to work. whenever we use electricity, we put greenhouse gases into the air. by turning off the lights, the television, and the computer when they arent needed, you can help a lot.dont buy products (产品) that use too much energy. some products, like certain cars, are made specially to save energy. these cars can travel longer on less gasoline (汽油). they dont pollute as much, either. products like computers, tvs and vcrs with the energy star label (标签) are made to save energy. buying products with these labels will help protect the environment. buy recyclable (可循环再用的) products instead of non-recyclable ones. recyclable products are usually made out of things that have already been used. it usually takes less energy to make recyclable products than to make new ones. so when you go shopping, look for the recycle mark on the package. the less energy we use, the better.45. the passage is mainly about _. a. some suggestions about cars b. an advertisementc. the changes to the climate d. the ways to protect the environment46. from the passage, we can learn

where the cat noises were from. there was still a lot of smoke and heat coming from the building. i followed the meowing to the sidewalk in front of the garage. there, crying and huddled (挤作一团) together, were five frightened kittens (小猫). they must have been inside the building, as their fur was badly hurt. i wanted to find the mother cat. it was clear that she had gone into the burning garage and carried out all her babies, one by oneunbelievable. we finally found her. her paws and face were blackened, and her fur was burned all over. you could even see her reddened skin under the burned fur. she could hardly move. i picked her up, and she relaxed in my arms as much as her pain would allow. i decided to save this brave little cat and her family. the vet told me they would watch the kittens and their mother for the night, but they werent confident about the mothers chances. about a week later, i found out she was going to live. we named her scarlet because of her reddened skin. i was happy to see scarlet get together with the kittens again. she touched each of them, nose to nose. she had been in danger for five times and it had paid off. all of her babies had survived. as a fireman, i see heroic acts every day. but what scarlet showed me that day was the kind of bravery that can only come from a mothers love.47. which of the following is true according to the story?

parts of the city. the horses are expensive to feed, but it is even more expensive to look after them. because the horses must walk on the streets, they need special horseshoes. in fact, they need more than 8,000 of them each year. every police horse in new york gets new shoes every month. keeping these shoes in good repair is the job of six blacksmiths(铁匠). there are only about thirty-five of these blacksmiths in the whole united states. the cost of shoeing a horse is between twenty dollars and thirty-five dollars, and it takes a good blacksmith two or three hours to do the job.a blacksmiths job is not an easy one. he must be able to shape a shoe from a piece of metal and then fit it to the horses foot. the blacksmith must bend over all the time when he is fitting the shoe and must hold the weight of the horses leg while he works. clearly, a blacksmith must be very strong. but even more important, he must be able to deal with horses-for before the blacksmith can begin his work, he has to get the horse to lift its leg.one of the blacksmiths in new york is james corbin. he came to the country from ireland in 1948. he not only makes horseshoes for the police but also works for a group of horse owners near the city. corbin became interested in blacksmithing because his father did it, and, as he puts it, “its a good way to make a living.”53. according to the reading

to make a living57. which of the following is true?a. only a few large american cities have some policemen on horseback.b. new york is the only city in america to have some policemen on horseback.c.
