Ⅰ.阅读理解

All around the word, shoppers flock to Walmart to buy everything. In Texas, they come for another reason: to see the wind turbine (涡轮机), which supplies 5% of the store's electricity. It along with other facilities, such as exterior walls coated with heat-reflective paint, makes this Walmart a green giant.

The laws of economics suggest that Walmart, with 5,200 stores worldwide, influences everything including the price of all kinds of goods. It throws its weight behind environmental responsibility, and the impact could be amazing.

“One little change in product packaging could save 1,500 trees，” says Walmart CEO Lee Scott. “If everybody saves 1,500 trees, or 50 barrels of oil, at the end of the day you will make a huge difference.”

Scott wants Walmart to do its part too. He has promised to cut the existing greenhouse gas emissions (排放) over the next few years and promised to construct new stores that are more efficient. He wants Walmart's fleet (车队) of more than 7,000 trucks to get twice as many miles per gallon by 2015. Factories that show Walmart they're cutting air pollution will get preferential treatment in the supply chain. Walmart says it's working with consumer product manufacturers to reduce their packaging and will reward them if they do so.

Some people may doubt it is a bid to attract attention from Walmart's controversial labor and health insurance practices. But it's not just window dressing, because Walmart sees profits in going green. Scott says, “This_is_a_business_philosophy,_not_a_social_philosophy. We don't go where we

don't think there's a great interest in change.”

Like Bill Gates, who started his charitable foundation, Scott happens to be promoting Walmart's image at a time when his company's reputation is declining. He acknowledges that he launched the plan partly to shield (保护) Walmart from bad press about its contribution to global warming. “By doing what we're doing today, we avoid the headline risks that are going to come for people who did not do anything，” he says. “At some point businesses will be held responsible for the actions they take.” Meanwhile, should Walmart succeed in shrinking its environmental footprints and lowering prices for green products, both the planet and the company would profit.

It's a common school day at Southern Cross School in South Africa. Instead of sitting in a classroom, teachers and pupils go through the forest or sit under the trees.

The school is in an area __1__ animals live wildly and can be hunted. __2__ (get) to the class, students travel a long way through the forest that wild animals use as well. The school teaches students all the same subjects __3__ the rest of the country's schools, but the teaching methods are __4__ (complete) different. Teachers and their pupils often go out into nature and work with animals and plants, __5__ (use) nature as a teaching tool. For example, the first lesson of the day is maths, but the teaching method is very special. The children visit a nearby river to count the number of __6__ (mark) left by animals. They learn how to count in this way.

The students are encouraged to take care of the __7__ (injure) and small animals. If they find a dead animal in the area, they will study where the animal fits in the food chain and how and why it __8__ (die)．

The headmaster said, “We must make people understand __9__ we are doing to the environment. We need to care for __10__ (we) planet.”

1．________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________ 5．________ 6.________ 7.________ 8.________ 9．________ 10.________ 错误!

1．where 本句中先行词为area，指代地点，关系副词where在从句中作地点状语。 2．To get To get to the class是不定式作目的状语。

3．as the same ... as ...为固定搭配，意思是“和……一样”。 4．completely 修饰形容词different需用副词形式。

5．using 本句中的主语Teachers and their pupils与use是逻辑上的主动关系，故用现在分词。

6．marks 空前the number of后跟可数名词的复数形式，故填marks。 7．injured 与small并列，共同修饰后面的名词animals，故用形容词。

15

8．died 根据上下文语境可知，动物死亡发生在过去，故用一般过去时。

9．what 分析句子结构可知，此处需要填一个词可以引导后面的从句，同时在从句中作do的宾语，故填what。

10．our 修饰名词应用形容词性物主代词。
