Before the 1970s, there were almost no environmental laws and industries were allowed to dump their industrial waste and fumes anywhere in the world. A US senator by the name of Gaylord Nelson was concerned about the growing levels of pollution. So in the spring of 1970, Senator Nelson created Earth Day as a way to promote awareness of these issues in the US. His plan was successful, as 20 million Americans started a demonstration (示威游行) for Earth Day around the world. As a result, the US government started an agency called the US Environmental Protection Agency. Over the next few years, the movement spread across the world and Earth Day became internationally recognized. The theme of Earth Day 2021 was “restore our Earth”. The focus of the theme was restoring Earth’s natural processes and ecosystems. Apart from that, its goal was to focus on taking green technologies and innovative actions to restore the Earth’s natural ecosystems. More than stopping pollution and global warming, Earth Day 2021 focused on reversing the damage caused to the Earth. Despite strict environmental laws in many countries across the world, problems such as global warming, air pollution and climate change continue to threaten our planet. Many scientists around the world are warning us about the already irreversible problems that have been created by microplastics, oil spills and depletion (消耗) of the ozone layer. If the human race continues on the same path as before, the extinction of the human race is not too far off in the future. Earth Day seeks to help raise people’s awareness around the world of these issues and bring positive changes, so future generations stand a chance of living a safer life. (　)1.What did Senator Gaylord Nelson do to address environmental problems? A.He created strict environmental laws by himself. B.He founded the US Environmental Protection Agency. C.He started Earth Day to raise people’s environmental awareness. D.He organized 20 million Americans to clean up industrial waste. (　)2.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A.The history of Earth Day. B.The success of Gaylord Nelson. C.Environmental changes in the 1970s. D.The establishment of environmental laws. (　)3.What was special about Earth Day of 2021? A.It helped to slow down global warming. B.It aimed to bring the Earth back to normal. C.It focused on reducing individuals’ carbon footprint. D.It promoted the development of emerging industries. (　)4.What is the purpose of the text? A.To predict the future of the Earth. B.To describe our terrible living environment. C.To state the progress in protecting the Earth. D.To increase people’s awareness of Earth Day. B [2026·重庆南开中学高一期末] New research suggests people may not always want help in sticking to their New Year’s resolutions, challenging the common view of a “planner-doer” conflict in behavioural science. A team from UK and German universities surveyed 240 adults to explore how people identify with their “planner” (self-control-focused) and “doer” (desire-driven) selves. Published in Behavioural Public Policy, the study found that while participants differed in the relative importance they attached to desire and self-control, overall, attitudes in favour of desire were almost as common as attitudes in favour of self-control. Public policies designed to “push” people towards healthy lifestyles are often based on the grounds that people think of their planners as their true selves and dislike the actions of their doers. However, in their study published today in the journal Behavioural Public Policy, the authors argue this assumption overlooks the possibility that people value desire as well as self-control and approve of their own flexible attitudes to resolutions. Robert Sugden, a professor of economics at UEA, said, “Our key message is not about whether pushes towards healthy lifestyles are good for people’s long-term health or happiness. It is about whether such pushes can be based on the grounds that they help individuals to overcome what they themselves acknowledge as self-control problems.” For example, respondents favoured desire for sugary drinks or desserts yet prioritized self-control for exercise—viewing small indulgences (享受) as positive expressions of desire. In the online survey, participants recalled either a joyful meal or a satisfying health effort, and then expressed their opinions about self-control and desire. Surprisingly, the differences in recalled episode didn’t significantly affect their attitudes. Most agreed both long-term planning and occasional small joys were important. The study concludes identifying when people want help with self-control is more complex than thought, emphasizing that desires deserve equal attention. Breaking a health-oriented resolution by ordering a dessert is perhaps a more positive way than not taking one’s daily run on a wet day. (　)5.What does the “planner-doer” conflict refer to? A.The difference between formal and informal help. B.The conflict between individual and public interests. C.The contrast between past experiences and future plans. D.The gap between long-term goals and short-term desires. (　)6.What did the study find about desire? A.It is valued almost as much as self-control. B.It is strongly influenced by past experiences. C.It is less important than self-control for health. D.It is mainly expressed through skipping exercise. (　)7.Why do public policies “push” people towards healthy lifestyles? A.To promote desire in daily life. B.To reduce social pressure on individuals. C.To help people overcome self-control problems. D.To balance short-term joys and long-term health. (　)8.What can we infer from the text? A.All people regret breaking their New Year’s resolutions. B.Small indulgences are seen as harmful by most participants. C.The “push” policies may not agree with people’s actual needs. D.Past happy meals make people less likely to value self-control. ●Ⅴ 完形填空(每小题1分,满分15分) [2025·山东潍坊高一期末] Brenda sat colouring as her mum watched ballet on TV. “Why do you like 　1　, mum?” she asked.
