Going green seems to be a fad(日寸尚) for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad,we can't really say,but for the two of us,going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.

  On April 22,2011,we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 dif?ferent green things,and it also meant challenging our?selves to go green beyond the easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy,we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.

  With the idea of going green every single day for a year,Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.

  Over the course of Our Green Year,we complete?ly changed our lifestyles. We now shop at organic(有機的) stores. We consume less meat,choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don't need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice,with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter,enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing some?thing ungreen might be punished.

  Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.

1.What might be the best title for the passage?

   A.Going green

   B.Protecting the planet

   C.Keeping open-minded

   D.Celebrating Our Green Year

2.It was difficult for the couple to live a green life for the whole year because .

   B.they didn't know how to educate other people

   A.They tried to get out of their ungreen habits.

   B.They ignored others' ungreen behaviour.

4. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

   B.The couple m^y continue their project in the fu?ture.

   C.Some people disagree with the couple's green ideas.

   D.Our Green Year is becoming a national cam?paign.

本文主要講述了一對夫婦在一年的時間里做了不同的支持環(huán)保的事情。

1.A主旨大意題。文章第一段提出本文主題"對我們來說,支持環(huán)保(going green) 不是追求時尚而是一種生活方式",所以選A。

2.D細節(jié)理解題。第二段第二句"這意味著做365件不同的環(huán)保事情",說明他們感覺過綠色生活困難的原因是需要做不同的環(huán)保任務(wù),所以選D。

 At the beginning of the year,I had all these plans to travel to different states? such as Florida,Georgia and California. Going to South Africa was definitely not in my plans. However,the stars seemed to align (排成直線) to make this trip possible. I had a friend who was returning there. Before she went back, she told me a lot of amazing things about that country and then I decided that I had to go there.

  However,since I hadn't planned to go to South Africa at frist, I didn't have money saved up ready to buy the ticket. You can imagine how much a round-trip ticket to South Africa costs. Luckily,while Iwas try?ing to figure out how I was going to pay for this plane ticket? I got an e-mail out of the blue from a gentleman from Denmark who was ready to give me money. It sounded hard to believe,but yes. This guy wanted to give me money to buy one of my domain names(域名) . The timing couldn't be more perfect. After a few e-mails back and forth, I received the money.

  I have to tell you that I did not have a job at the time. Things might not have gone so smoothly if I did. I wasn't tied down to a 9-to-5 life,so I could travel at any time. I didn't have to check how many sick days I had left or how to get my vacation approved by a man?ager. The keyword is flexibility(靈活性) .Having freedom to do what you want is one of the great advan?tages of having your own online business.

  The plane ticket cost over $ 2 , 000. I sold a do?main name for a few thousand dollars which just cov?ered the cost of my trip. The entire process was quick?ly and conveniently done through e-mails.

   C. Personally.   D. Unexpectedly.

3. What did the gentleman most probably tell the writer in his first e-mail?

   A.He could help him get a flight ticket.

   B.He would help him go to South Africa.

   C.He wanted to buy a domain name of his.

   D.He would give him a sum of money for nothing.

   A.once had a very boring job

   B.lives an extremely hard life

   C.has his own online business

   D.doesn't have much time to travel

5. What is the passage mainly about?

   A.What kind of life the writer wants to live.

   B.Whether it is good for people to live a 9-to-5 life.

   C.Why the writer wanted to take a trip to South Africa.

   D.How the writer got the money for a trip to South Africa.

  There is one language that is used in every country in the world. The people who use it are young and old,short and tall,thin and fat. It is everybody's second language. It is easy to un?derstand ,although you can't hear it. It is sign language.

  When you wave to a friend who is across the street, you are using sign language. When you smile at someone, you are saying, "I want to be friendly",but you are not using speech, you are using sign language. When you raise your hand in class, you are saying, " Please ask me. I think I know the correct answer.”

Babies who can't talk can point at things. They are using sign language. A policeman who wants to stop traffic holds up his hands. He is using sign language.

   The actors in the Theatre of Deaf don't spell every word. Sometimes they use hand signs. When they put two hands together, it means sandwich. They can make a roof with their hands when they want to show a house. One finger in front of an actor's mouth can mean quiet. You can talk to people who are behind windows that are closed.
