the then President Bush. Through her on efforts, her letter was reproduced on over 250 donated billboards
(广告牌) across the country.
The response to her request for help was so huge that Poe established Kids For A Cleaner Environment
(Kids F.A.C.E.) in 1989. There are now 300,000 members of Kids F.A.C.E. worldwide and it is the world"s
largest youth environmental organization.
Poe has also asked the National Park Service to carry out a "Children"s Forest" project in every national
park. In 1992, she was invited one of only six children in the world to speak at the Earth Summit in Brazil
as part of the Voices of the future Program. In 1993, she was given a Caring Award for her efforts by the
Caring Institute.
Since the organization started, Kids F.A.C.E. members have distributed and planted over 1 million trees!
Ongoing tree-planting projects include Kids" Yards-the creation of backyard wildlife habitats (栖息地) and
now Kids F.A.C.E. is involved in the exciting Odyssey, which is a great way to start helping.
"We try to tell kids that it"s not OK to be lazy," she explains, "You need to start being a response,
environmentally friendly person now, right now, before you become a resource-sucking adult."
B. a project of litter recycling
C. a campaign launched by President Bush
D. a club of environmental protection
B. She donated billboards across the country.

year and the temperature rarely dipping below l6℃. Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment
because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate. Without the forest cover,these areas would
reflect more heat into the atmosphere, warming the rest of the world. Losing the rainforests may also influence
wind and rainfall patterns,potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world.
In the past hundred years, humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources (资
源): land for crops, wood for paper and other products,land for raising farm animals. This action affects the
environment as a whole. For example, a lot of carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) in the air comes from burning the
rainforests. People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much
more than we will benefit.
There are two main reasons for this. Firstly, when people cut down trees,generally they can only use the
land for a year or two. Secondly, cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right
now, but in the long run it actually reduces the world"s wood supply.
Rainforests are often called the world"s drug store. More than 25% of the medicines we use today come
from plants in rainforests. However, fewer than l%of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical
value. It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the world"s shrinking
rainforests.
B. bring about high rainfall throughout the world
C. rarely cause the temperature to drop lower than l6℃
D. reduce the effect of heat from the sun on the earth
B. Humans have begun destroying rainforests.
C. People have a strong desire for resources.

B. there is great medicine potential in rainforests
C. we will grow fewer kinds of crops in the gained land
D. the level of annual rainfall affects wind patterns
B. How to Protect Nature
C. Rainforests and the Environment
D. Rainforests and Medical Development
effort, and not much money, most of us could reduce our energy diets by 25 percent or more-doing the
Earth a favor while also helping our wallets.
Not long age. My wife, PJ, and I tried a new diet-not to lose a little weight but to answer an annoying
question about climate change. Scientists have reported recently that the world is bending up even faster
than predicted only a few years ago, and that the consequences could be severe if we don"t keep reducing
emissions (排放) of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases that are trapping heat in our
atmosphere.
We decided to try an experiment. For one month we recorded our personal emissions of CO2. We
wanted to see how much we could cut back, so we went on a strict diet. The average US household (家
庭) produces about 150 pounds of CO2 a day by doing common-place things like turning on air-conditioning
or driving cars. That"s more than twice the European average and almost five times the global average,
mostly because Americans drive more and have bigger houses. But how much should we try to reduce?
For an answer, I checked with Tim Flannery, author of The Weather Makers: How Man Is Changing
the Climate and What It Means for Life on Earth. In his book, he had challenged readers to make deep cuts
in personal emissions to keep the world from reaching extremely important tipping points, such as the
melting (融化) of the ice sheets in Greenland or West Antarctica. "To stay below that point, we need to
reduce CO2 emissions by 80 percent," he said.
Good advice, I thought. I"d opened our bedroom windows to let in the wind. We"d gotten so used to
keeping our air-conditioning going around the clock. I"d almost forgotten the windows even opened. We
should not let this happen again. It"s time for us to change our habits if necessary.
B. To respond to climate change
C. To lose weight
D. To improve their health
B. burning points
C. melting points
D. boiling points
B. it seems possible for every household to cut emissions of CO2
C. the average US household produces about 3,000 pounds of CO2 a month
D. the average European household produces about 1,000 pounds of CO2 a month
B. Changing Habits Begins at Work
C. Changing Climate Sounds Reasonable
D. Reducing Emissions of CO2 Proves Difficult
Islands in Jersey. They had been looked after by zookeepers. No evolutionary strategies informed them how
to behave in this new Landscape of mountainous pine forest unoccupied by their king for 50 years. To the
researchers" surprise, they failed to make contact with a group of wild parrots imported from Mexico and set
free at the same time. Within 24 hours the reintroducing ended in failure, and the poor birds were back in cages,
on their way to the safety of the Arizona reintroduction programme.
Ever since then, the programme has enjoyed great success, mainly because the birds now being set free are
Mexican birds illegally caught in the wild, confiscated (没收) on arrival north of the border, and raised by their
parents in the safety of the programme. The experience shows how little we know about the behaviour and
psychology (心理) of parrots, as Peter Bennett, a bird researcher, points out:"Reintroducing species of high
intelligence like parrots is a lot more difficult. People like parrots, always treating them as nothing more than
peers or valuable "collectables"."
Now that many species of parrot are in immediate danger of dying out, biologists are working together to
study the natural history and the behaviour of this family of birds. Last year was an important turning point:
conservationists founded the World Parrot Trust, based at Hayle in Cornwall, to support research into both
wild and caged birds.
Research on parrots is vital for two reasons. Forest, as the Arizona programme showed, when reintroducing
parrots to the wild, we need to be aware of what the birds must know if they are to survive in their natural
home. We also need to learn more about the needs of parrots kept as pets, particularly as the Trust"s campaign
does not attempt to discourage the practice, but rather urges people who buy parrots as pets to choose birds
raised by humans.
B. It used to be home to parrots of their kind.
C. It is close to where they had been kept.
D. Pine trees were planted to attract birds.
A. can find their way back home in Jersey
B. are unable to recognize their parents
C. are unable to adapt to the wild
D. can produce a new species
B. We need to knows more about how to preserve parrots.
C. Many people are interested in collecting parrots.
D. Parrots" intelligence may someday benefit people.
B to set up comfortable homes for parrots
C. not to keep wild parrots as pets
D. not to let more parrots go to the wild
would take to design a public school that used 50 percent less energy, cost much less to build and obviously
improved student learning. "I think half of then fell off their chairs," Gerner says.
Gerner manages school facilities (设施) for Clark county, Nevada, a district roughly the size of
Massachusetts. By 2018, 143, 000 additional students will enter the already crowded public-education system.
Gerner needs 73 new schools to house them. Four architecture teams have nearly finished designing primary
school prototypes (样品); They plan to construct their schools starting in 2009. The district will then assess
how well the schools perform, and three winners will copy those designs in 50 to 70 new buildings.
Green schools are appearing all over, but in Clark County, which stands out for its vastness, such
aggressive targets are difficult because design requirements like more natural light for students go against the
realities of a desert climate. "One of the biggest challenges is getting the right site orientation (朝向)," Mark
McGinty, a director at SH Architecture, says. His firm recently completed a high school in Las Vegas. "You
have the same building, same set of windows, but if its orientation is incorrect and it faces the sun, it will be
really expensive to cool."
Surprisingly, the man responsible for one of re most progressive green-design competitions has doubts
about ideas of eco-friendly buildings. "I don"t believe in the new green religion," Gerner says. "Some of the
building technologies that you get are impractical. I"m interested in those that work." But he wouldn"t mind
if some green features inspire students. He says he hopes to set up green energy systems that allow them to
learn about the process of harvesting wind and solar power." "You never know what"s going to start the
interest of a child to study math and science," he says.
B. they showed strong disbelief.
C. they expressed little interest.
D. they burst into cheers.
B. Assessment-Design-Prototype-Construction.
C. Design-Assessment-Prototype-Construction.
D. Design-Prototype-Assessment-Construction.
B. Limited facilities.
C. The desert climate.
D. Poor natural resources.
B. They are out of date.
C. They are advanced.
D. They are practical.

two aspects of fashion-"ecological" and "ethical" (伦理的). Ecological fashion usually refers to textile (织
物) and clothing production processes and the environmental issues (议题) surrounding them; ethical
fashion generally relates to the working conditions involved in the producing processes.
What are the problems with fashion? Firstly, the production of textiles pollutes the environment heavily.
Cotton-planting uses pesticides; sheep-farming and wool-cleaning contribute to global warming; synthetics-
making (人造纤维生产) brings about harmful waste. Secondly, every stage of clothing production has a
significant effect on the environment. They all use a great deal of energy, and some also involve harmful
chemicals. In addition to this, there is a lot of waste produced in the process, especially in the form of
polluted water. Thirdly, growing consumption levels and our shopping habits further worsen the bad effects.
We are now buying clothes in increasing quantities without realizing the scale on which it affects natural
environment, and we are also quick to throw away clothes that have been worn only a couple of times.
Then, how to solve the problems? To a large degree, it is the fashion producers that really have the power
and the responsibility to shape our future. There are numerous ways in which these producers can reduce
their ecological footprint, from switching to green energy and reducing energy use, through selecting
sustainable (可持续使用的) materials and choosing local suppliers, to recycle and minimize waste. On the
other hand, as consumers we can all make contributions by selecting environmentally friendly clothing and
reducing clothing consumption.
Now many people are beginning to shop for organic food products because the benefits of eating food
free of chemicals are straightforward and immediate. They relate directly to our personal health. In fact,
choosing eco-fashion can also contribute to our personal health, though it is mostly done by way of keeping
the health of the planet.
