【探究归纳】
(1)set up通常指创建或开办医院、学校、组织、机构、设施等一切具体或抽象的事物。其中 up是副词,代词作宾语时,应置于set up 之间 。
(2)“建立,创办”的不同表达:①set up意为“设立,创办”,侧重于开始创建组织、机构、团体等;②found意为“创立,成立”,侧重于建立国家、政党、军队等;③build意为“建造”,侧重于建造房屋、桥梁、道路等。

A. gave up B. sets up
C. was given up D. was set up
解题点拨:give up放弃; set up 创办。根据句意地球日应该是在1970年创办;用一般过去时的被动语态。
