It started on a Sunday when Nick went over to John’s house to play tennis. But John said he wanted to go to watch his elder brother’s football game instead. When Nick asked if he could go too, John said no. Nick felt hurt. He asked why he couldn’t go. John got angry and said, “I want to do something without you for a change!” On Monday at school, Nick was so angry that he left a note on John’s desk. John was really sad after reading the note.

The Earth has a history of more than 4 billion years, and modern man has lived on it for only 35,000 years. During that time, people have changed the Earth in many ways. They have done both good and bad things to the Earth.
In big cities, cars and buses have polluted the air so that many people now have very bad health problems. Factories have also polluted the land, the air and the water. As a result, many rivers and lakes have become very dirty. Some of them are even dead now.
All over the world, people have cut down millions of trees. Many types of animals, as a result, are in danger and the quality of the air has become worse.
At the same time people burn oil, coal and wood. The dirty air has formed a “ blanket” around the Earth. The heat from the Sun cannot go away, so the air temperature is rising. This is called the greenhouse effect. This means that the level of the sea is rising and the climate is changing.
These problems are very serious for our future, but we can do something now. People have already taken action to improve the environment. We can be green consumers. That is, we should only buy and use things that do not damage the environment. We should stop the habit of using things once and then throwing them away. Many countries now use the wind, the Sun and the sea to make electricity. In some cities, for example, people cannot drive cars on certain days. In other places, they use electric cars and buses. These are just a few of many things we can do.
13. What does the underlined word “them” refer to?
A. The land, the air and the water. B. People.
C. Rivers and lakes. D. Factories.
14. What does the fifth paragraph mainly talk about?
A. Problems. B. Ways. C. Advantages. D. Effects.
15. How is the text organized?
(①=Paragraph1,②=Paragraph 2,…)
A. B. C. D.
16. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Modern Man and the Earth B. Environmental Problems
C. The Changes on the Earth D. The Future of the Earth
【答案】13. C 14. B 15. A 16. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了现代人们在许多方面改变了地球,呼吁大家采取行动改善环境。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“As a result, many rivers and lakes have become very dirty. Some of them are even dead now.”可知,许多河流和湖泊变得非常脏。它们中的一些现在已经死了。因此划线单词指的是“河流和湖泊”。故选C。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据“These problems are very serious for our future, but we can do something now.”可知,但我们现在可以做些什么。因此谈论的是补救的方法。故选B。
【15题详解】
篇章结构题。结合全文可知,第一段讲述了引出了“人们在许多方面改变了地球”的话题;第二段到第四段主要讲述了人们在一些方面改变了地球;第五段讲述了人们做什么来改善环境。因此A选项符合文章的结构。故选A。
【16题详解】
最佳标题题。根据“The Earth has a history of more than 4 billion years, and modern man has lived on it for only 35,000 years.”以及结合全文可知,本文主要讲述了现代人们在许多方面改变了地球,呼吁大家采取行动改善环境。因此最佳标题是“现代人与地球”。故选A。

The Earth has a history of more than 4 billion years, and modern man has lived on it for only 35,000 years. During that time, people have changed the Earth in many ways. They have done both good and bad things to the Earth.
In big cities, cars and buses have polluted the air so that many people now have very bad health problems. Factories have also polluted the land, the air and the water. As a result, many rivers and lakes have become very dirty. Some of them are even dead now.
All over the world, people have cut down millions of trees. Many types of animals, as a result, are in danger and the quality of the air has become worse.
At the same time, people burn oil, coal and wood. The dirty air has formed a “ blanket” around the Earth. The heat from the Sun cannot go away, so the air temperature is rising. This is called the greenhouse effect. This means that the level of the sea is rising and the climate is changing.
These problems are very serious for our future, but we can do something now. People have already taken action to improve the environment. We can be green consumers. That is, we should only buy and use things that do not damage the environment. We should stop the habit of using things once and then throwing them away. Many countries now use the wind, the Sun and the sea to make electricity. In some cities, for example, people cannot drive cars on certain days. In other places, they use electric cars and buses. These are just a few of many things we can do.
13. What does the underlined word “them” refer to?
A. The land, the air and the water. B. People.
C. Rivers and lakes. D. Factories.
14. What does the fifth paragraph mainly talk about?
A. Problems. B. Ways. C. Advantages. D. Effects.
15. How is the text organized?
(①=Paragraph1,②=Paragraph 2,…)
A. B. C. D.
16. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Modern Man and the Earth B. Environmental Problems
C. The Changes on the Earth D. The Future of the Earth
