阅读下面材料,然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案.

     Fresh green grass. Hundreds of colorful wild flowers. Water running into little pools. Birds making their homes in boxes. The 9, 500﹣square﹣metre Augustenborg Botanical Garden may look just like any other well﹣organized park but there's a difference. It lies on the roofs(屋顶) of industria land office buildings in the city of Malmo in Sweden.

     Green roofs are not a new invention. And now they are getting popular again. The common roofs of a modern city have endless black surfaces with no life or water. Perhaps that's why a garden on a roof becomes such a perfect choice for more and more people.

     Green roofs are not just pretty. They also help to moderate the city temperature. The high temperatures on common roofs in the summer can make top floor flats uncomfortably hot. What is more, they play a part in making the cities hotter than the countryside around them, causing the "urban heat﹣island effect". On a green roof, however, with its plants and water, temperatures change only a little, as they do in a park. This can greatly cut the costs of heating and cooling in the building below.

     Also, a green roof takes in rain water, and protects the city drainage(排水) system._____ And small animals and birds can make their homes on it. Thanks to this, the city may become part of nature, rather than something completely separate from it.

     While the cost of building such a roof can still be higher, it can be cheaper in the long term as a result of energy savings. And wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to walk out into a garden high above the city's noise and traffic, whether you're at school or in an office or just at home in a ten﹣floor block.

(1)With the example of Augustenborg Botanical Garden, the writer wants to explain   

A. how wildlife is protected

B. what a green roof is like

C. how to organize a good park

D. what to do with a spare roof

(2)The underlined word " moderate" in Paragraph 3 is the closest in meaning to "  ".

A. raise

B. check

C. record

D. control

(3)Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4?  

A. A green roof is alive.

B. A green roof stops pollution.

C. A common roof is noisy.

D. A common roof increases the cost.

(4)The purpose of the passage is to   

A. discover the problems with green roofs

B. introduce the change of green roofs

C. show the amazing beauty of green roofs

D. describe the advantages of green roofs

Sometimes we throw apple remains into forests,hoping small animals around may find them.But what if they are never noticed?People believe they would rot(腐烂)one day.So it doesn't matter.Is that true?

    Sure they will.But it won't happen overnight.

    Marjorie Woodruff,works in the Grand Canyon,set up a small experiment.She put a banana peel(皮),orange peels in a box,wide enough to allow small animals to go in and out.After six months,the orange peels had dried out,the banana had turned black.Nothing had been eaten or had rotted.

    She buried the same things in sand and soil and six months later everything could still be seen.

    In fact,it takes two months for apple remains to rot and an orange peel can take up to one year.

    "Do we eat orange peels? We do not.So why would a squirrel(松鼠)eat? "Woodruff writes in High Country News. "The animals do just fine on nuts and berries.They do not need us."There's another point to think about.

    When animals start to get food from people.they may stop looking for their own food in nature.This is dangerous because it may weaken their hunting ability.Besides,they need different food.

    Food waste also attracts animals to areas where there are a lot of people,says the Leave No Trace organization.This may put their life in danger as they may get used to looking for food alongside busy roads. Many of them are too small to be noticed by drivers.

    When you're throwing fruit remains,you may be fined(罚款).Fines are different.Some states might only fine people 100,but a few states fine people more than 6,000 for a first time.

(1)Where does Marjorie Woodruff work?  

(2)How long does it take for apple remains to rot?  

(3)Which animal is mentioned?  

(4)How much might you be fined at least if you throw fruit remains?  

(5)Why can't we give food waste to animals?

Trees are useful to man in three important ways.

The first important way is that they provide man with wood and other products.Trees provide not only man with food,but also many animals with food.Without trees,many animals could not live on earth.It's not easy for man to live on earth,either.

The second important way is that trees give us shade(阴凉).On a hot summer day,people are eager(渴望)to have a rest under the tree after they have a long walk.You can imagine how important the shade of a tree is to man and animals.

The third important way is that trees help to prevent droughts and floods(防止干旱和洪水).However,in many parts of the world,man hasn't realized the third way.They cut trees down in large numbers.In the end theyfind that they have lost the best friends they had.

(1)Trees provide food for man and animals.   

(2)In hot summer,trees give us shade to cool.   

(3)Cutting down trees in large numbers can't cause droughts and floods.   

(4)The underlined word theyrefers to man and animals.   

(5)Protecting forests is protecting ourselves.

What do you do with your rubbish?Throw it out?You don't know what you're missing!Look closely at the two figures on your left.They were made from things most people throw away.The figures were made from used bottle caps.Those two bottle﹣cap figures were exhibited (展示) in a museum.

    Folk art is art made by common people who have not been trained as artists.Their work is often based on traditions in their culture.Fine art,on the other hand,is usually made by people who have had training in art.Works of fine art are valued for their artistic beauty.They are supposed to be looked at but not used.Works of folk art,however,are often made for everyday use.

    Air pollution is a big problem for cities in most countries. Many people are dying from it. But how can we tell the air quality is good or bad?

    On a tree next to a river in Amsterdam, a tiny birdhouse glows (发光) bright green when the air is clean. If you're standing nearby, the birdhouse will also give you a free Wi﹣Fi connection﹣but only if pollution level is low enough. The designer is Joris Lam. His birdhouse tells you about the air quality.

    Joris' birdhouse is called TreeWifi. It can be put on a tree around your house to test the air quality. People can see a screen with information about the local air quality and how to improve it. TreeWifi is a simple way for people to know about the air pollution around them. If the birdhouse does not glow, people should care more about the environment. It reminds them to change their lifestyles. For example, to protect the air, they can ride bikes or just walk instead of driving cars.

    "Imagine if trees gave free Wi﹣Fi, people would plant more trees like crazy. It's a pity that they only give us the oxygen(氧气) we breathe," Joris said.

    The birdhouse doesn't work as a home for birds now. Joris and his team are trying to make some changes to it. In the future, they hope birds will live in the birdhouse and the heat of its green light will be used to keep birds warm in winter.

(3)Joris designed a screen for the birdhouse to

For example,fossil fuels(化石燃料)are the most common kind of energy.They include coal,oil,and natural gas.First,people have to dig them from the ground.This can sometimes harm the environment.However,scientists are creating cleaner and better ways to do that these days.So the environment is not harmed as much as before.But when people burn these fossil fuels,they can give off a lot of harmful gases,which is considered to be one of the greatest causes of global warming.This might harm the environment.

Tidal(潮汐)energy is another way to make electricity.This uses the ocean tides to make electricity.But some kinds of tidal energy can kill many fish and other sea animals.Also dams(大坝)can create lots of clean energy.But dams create lakes and change the way that rivers run.So they can do great harm to the balance of nature around the lakes and along the rivers.
