真题研练18
Task 1：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
(2014·新课标全国Ⅱ，B)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 millions of grassroots 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.
Twentyfive 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！”say Bruce Anderson.

Task 4：短文改错(下面文字有五处错误，请改正)
In 1988 there were only 600 recycling ；today in 1995 there are about 6,600.Advanced lights，motors，and building designs have helped save a lot energy and therefore pollution.Twentyfive years ，there were hardly any education programs for environment.Today，it's hard to a public school，university，or law school that does not have such a kind of program.
Task 5：攻克长难句(分析句子结构，尝试翻译成汉语)
Today，it's hard to find a public school，university，or law school that does not have such a kind of program.
分析：这是一个主从复合句，it为形式主语，真正的主语为后面的不定式短语to find a public school...，that does not have such a kind of program为定语从句。
译文：今天，很难找到一个没有这样的项目的公立学校，大学，或法律学校。

Until we do that，nothing else will change!
只有我们这么做，一切才将会有所改变！
