A

Arriving in Sydney on his own from India，my husband，Rashid，stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.

During the first week of his stay，he went out one day to do some shopping.He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone.He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers，including his passport.

He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in a strange city，thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organised again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.

Late in the evening，the phone rang.It was a stranger.He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions.Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can(垃圾桶) that had been left out on the footpath.

My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents.Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers.Her parents had carefully sorted them out，although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents.At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.

That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people.We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.

解析 标题归纳题。本文主要记叙了作者的丈夫来到悉尼之后，有一天发现自己的手提箱丢失了，里面有自己的全部重要文件包括护照。正当作者的丈夫一筹莫展的时候，一位当地的陌生人给他打来电话，告诉他说他们的女儿在垃圾桶里捡到了这些文件，这些本来可能被当作垃圾扔掉的文件最后却回到了失主手中，这让作者一家很欣喜，同时也让他们重拾对人们的信任等，因此选Turning Trash to Treasure，这正是本文的主题所在。

Since the first Earth Day in 1970，Americans have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment.“We didn’t know at that time that there even was an environment，let alone that there was a problem with it，” says Bruce Anderson，president of Earth Day USA.

But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement.Business people，political leaders，university professors，and especially

B．Sent out. D．Gave back. B．a Sydney policeman D．a stranger in Sydney

millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement.“The understanding has increased many，many times，” says Gaylord Nelson，the former governor from Wisconsin，who thought up the first Earth Day.

According to US government reports，emissions(排放) from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 million 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，it’s 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！” says Bruce Anderson.

语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了环保意识在美国从无到有，逐渐增强，说明环保教育势在必行。 5．According to Anderson，before 1970，Americans had little idea about . A．the social movement B．recycling techniques C．environmental problems D．the importance of Earth Day 答案 C

解析 细节理解题。根据第一段的“We didn’t know at that time that there even was an environment，let alone that there was a problem with it...”可知，当时美国人对环境问题没有足够的认识，因此应选择C项。

6．Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from? A．The grass-roots level. B．The business circle. C．Government officials. D．University professors. 答案 A

解析 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Business people，political leaders，university

professors，and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement.”可知，这里强调了这个运动的主要支持者应该是那些普通的美国民众，因此答案应是A项The grass-roots level。

7．What have Americans achieved in environmental protection? A．They have cut car emissions to the lowest. B．They have settled their environmental problems. C．They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities. D．They have reduced pollution through effective measures. 答案 D

解析 细节理解题。文章第三段的第一句说明了汽车和卡车的尾气排放量从每年1 030万吨降到了550万吨，由此可排除A项；再结合第二句“一氧化碳排放超标的城市从40个降到了9个”可知C项是错误的；根据第三句提到的“环境问题依然严峻”可知这个问题还没有得到解决，所以排除B项；本段列举的这些数字证明了美国人采取了有效措施，减少了环境污染，因此答案选D项。

8．What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph? A．Education. C．Green living. 答案 A

解析 推理判断题。结合最后一段提到的“25年以前，在美国几乎没有关于环境的教育项目，而如今，很难找到没有类似项目的公立学校、大学或者法学院了”，再结合布鲁斯所说的“没有教育，就无法改变环境问题”等，我们可以推断出教育(education)的重要性，从而排除了B项“计划”、C项“绿色生活”和D项“减少一氧化碳”这几个选项。

C

One of the latest trends(趋势) in American childcare is Chinese au pairs.Au Pair in Stamford，Conn.，for example，has got increasing numbers of requests for Chinese au pairs from zero to around 4,000 since 2004.And that’s true all across the country.

“I thought it would be very useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age，” Joseph Stocke，the managing director of a company，says of his 2-year-old son.“I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future.” After only six months of being cared for by a 25-year-old woman from China，the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions，his dad says.

Li Drake，a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband，had another reason for looking for an au pair from China：She didn’t want

B．Planning. D．CO reduction.
