The world celebrates Earth Day every year on April 22.But

one school in Potomac, Maryland tries to honor Earth Day every

day.Very young children are learning about the environment and

taking action to show their love for the Earth.

A child's world is the world of playing.They love being outside in the open air，running，sliding and swinging on playground equipment.But children at St.James Children's School also add to that fun by picking up rubbish in the school.Inside, they learn to save water and electricity.They also recycle and reuse.And every spring they get the soil ready to plant flowers and vegetables in the school garden.

The children at St.James range from six weeks to six years old.The environmental study begins at age two.Rebecca Boker teaches the children the importance of taking care of the Earth.Boker says every day at St.James is Earth Day.She points to books in all the classrooms and in the library.Most contain materials that urge children to do something to help the environment and protect the Earth.

St.James children observe the growth of plants from seeds to sprouts (苗，芽) in cups kept in the classroom.Then they watch the plants continue to grow after placing them in the garden.The students also observe the lifecycle of some insects.After that, they know it is their job to respect their home just like they want others to respect theirs.

But do these very young children really get the message that their teachers try to communicate? Ms.Boker says yes.On April 22 the kids at St.James will go out to the school's garden for the yearly clean-up.But for them, Earth Day will continue for the school days ahead as well.

Pollution's great effects on the environment have become more obvious in recent years，leading to a movement to promote energy efficiency，less reliance on fossil fuels and a reduction in air and water pollution.Most scientists agree that such changes are necessary to protect our environment from further harm.

The construction industry consumes a large quantity of energy and resources and creates a huge amount of pollution.In the United States，building and development account for 39 percent of the country's total energy use,12 percent of total water consumption,68 percent of total electricity consumption and 38 percent of carbon dioxide emissions，according to the Environment Protection Agency.

Green buildings use less energy，water，create less waste and are healthier to live, work and study in than standard buildings.Builders of green buildings use techniques that use resources more efficiently during the entire building cycle—construction，restoration，operation，maintenance (维护) and demolition (拆毁)—than those who construct more regular buildings.

The environmental benefits of green buildings include the protection of ecosystems and biopersity，improved air and water quality，less waste flowing into streams and the conservation of natural resources.Green buildings can also contribute to lower operating costs because they typically use less energy and fewer materials and improve indoor air quality，improving the health of people who live there.

The process of building greenly includes technical and artistic planning with nature conservation in mind.Building designs often reflect the surrounding environment and natural resources and use renewable building materials such as bamboo and straw.In addition，recycled resources found locally are used for green buildings, reducing the costs and air pollution associated with transporting materials long distances.

Careful site selection is important to minimize human impact on the surrounding environment.For example, placing a structure in an area that allows it to take advantage of cool breezes and sunlight can reduce energy use and expense.More energy and expense are needed for larger buildings as well，so it is important to build small.

Green roofs are another feature of green houses that reduce energy use and costs.These roofs are partially or completely covered with plants，which helps to

keep heating and cooling costs low, prevent water running off and deal with pollutants.

Other features of green buildings often include energy and water conservation，recycling and waste reduction.In addition，renewable energy sources such as solar power，hydropower(水力发电) and wind power are used for heating and electricity，which greatly reduces costs and decreases the impact on the environment.

【解题导语】本文为说明文，介绍了一种耗能少、产生废物少、更加环保的绿色建筑。

5．What is the text mainly about?

A．The necessity of promoting energy efficiency.

B．The process of building green buildings.

C．The benefits and features of green buildings.

D．Green buildings' effects on the environment.

解析：选C主旨大意题。纵观全文可知，前两段讲述了环境污染愈来愈严重，保护环境免受进一步的破坏成为必需，从而引出下文对绿色建筑的介绍。文章的后六段具体详细地介绍了绿色建筑的益处和特色。故选C。

6．According to the text，green buildings refer to the buildings that ________.

A．produce no waste

B．only use clean energy

C．are made of recycled materials

D．use energy and resources more efficiently

解析：选D细节理解题。根据第三段首句“Green buildings use less energy, water, create less waste and are healthier to live, work and study in than standard buildings.”可知，绿色建筑使用更少的能源、消耗更少的水，产生更少的废物。因此绿色建筑可以更有效地使用能源。故选D。

7．Which of the following statements is TRUE about green buildings?

A．They rely on fossil fuels and solar power for heating and electricity.

B．Small buildings are less efficient in energy use than larger ones.

C．The ecosystem has to be considered when building a green building.

D．They are difficult to maintain and thus need more operating costs.

解析：选C细节理解题。根据第五段首句“The process of building greenly includes technical and artistic planning with nature conservation in mind.”可知，建造绿色建筑时必须考虑到生态系统。故选C。

8．Green roofs are used because ________.

A．they fit the surrounding environment well

B．they are cheaper than other kinds of roofs

C．they can keep natural water for use in everyday life

D．they can help to control the temperature in the building well

解析：选D推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“These roofs are partially or completely covered with plants, which helps to keep heating and cooling costs low，prevent water running off and deal with pollutants.”可知，绿色屋顶被植物覆盖，有助于隔热和御寒，阻止水流出和处理污染物。因此推断绿色屋顶有助于很好地控制室内的温度。故选D。

Ⅳ.七选五

Art is for everyone and it exists everywhere.When it comes to appreciating an art painting，there is no right or wrong way.__1__

?Know the artist.To know the artist is the first step towards appreciating any art painting.__2__ Once you get familiar with the paintings by a particular artist，you will start relating to their unique style.

?__3__ This is really tough.There are different styles and types of art mediums，such as realism，surrealism and impressionism，to name but a few.So for beginners，it's advisable to keep things simple.Try to understand if the art you see is a watercolor，an oil or acrylic(丙烯酸颜料) painting，or a sketch (素描)．You also need to figure out the style of the work—figurative (形象的) or abstract.

?Try and find a meaning.To read between lines and colors and understand what the artist means can be very difficult.__4__ So here's a simple guide.Figurative paintings are easy because they are an honest description of emotions on the canvas (油画布)．Still，it doesn't mean your understanding is the same as the artist's.Abstracts attempt to create magic with shapes，lines and colors and their meaning is different for everyone who sees it.

?Search for emotions.Not every work of art will catch your eyes or evoke your emotions at first sight.__5__ Explore the art work with your eyes.

Once you are aware of these things，you will be able to break the ice with the artist.

A．Discover your taste and style.

B．Know the type of art and medium used.

C．Some of these art works will take time to reach you.

D．You just might find that art changes the way you see the world.

E．Learning something about the artist adds to the appreciation of art.

F．A simple art painting might be understood otherwise for different people.

G．The following ideas may help you join in the conversation between you and the artist.

【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍如何欣赏和解读艺术家的艺术作品。

3．解析：选B依据此空的位置可知，此空是本段的主题句。依据空后的

内容可知，艺术形式有着不同的表现方式和风格，mediums与B项中的medium 相照应，故选B项。

4．解析：选F依据上文中的“To read between lines and colors...means can be very difficult.”可知，体会作品的言外之意，理解艺术家的思想是非常困难的。F 项表示不同的人对一幅简单的画有着不同的理解，与上文衔接紧密。故选F项。

5．解析：选C依据该空前一句可知，并非每一件艺术作品一开始就能吸引你，打动你，由此可判断出，有些艺术作品需要花时间才能领会其中的意义。故选C项。
