　　Many cities around the world today-are heavily polluted. Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment (环境) friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of.

　　However, today, more and more consumers are choosing “green” and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these:“Will this shampoo damage the environ- merit?”“Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?”

　　A recent study showed that two out of five adults now consider the environmental safety of a product before they buy it. This means that companies must now change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that they are “green”, that is, friendly to the environment.

　　Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds. Some supermarket products carry labels (标签) to show that the products are green. Some companies have made the manufacturing (生产) of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising.

　　The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business. No longer will the public accept the old attitude of “Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it.” The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.

1．It becomes clear from the text that the driving force (劳力) behind green products is ________.

[　　]

A．public caring for the environment

C．new ways of doing business

D．rapid growth of supermarkets

2．What would be the best title for the text?

[　　]

A．Business and People

B．Business Goes Green

C．Shopping Habits Are Changing

D．Supermarkets and Green Products

3．The underlined world “it” in the fourth paragraph refers to ________.

[　　]

A．a selling point

B．the company name

My dream ended when I was born. Although I never knew it then, I just held on to something that would never come to pass. Dreams really do exist. But in the morning when you wake up, they are remembered just as a dream. That is what happened to me.

I always had the dream to dance like a beautiful ballerina（芭蕾舞女演员）turning around and around and hearing people applaud for me. When I was young, I would turn around and around in the fields of wildflowers that grew in my backyard. 

Reality woke me up when I heard someone saying, "I don't know why you bother trying to dance. Ballerinas are pretty and slender(苗条) www..comgirls. Besides, you don't have the talent to even be a ballerina." I remember how those words hurt every feeling in my body. I fell to the ground and wept for hours. 

I enjoyed hanging out by the water. I would sit there for hours and stare at my reflection(倒影). There I was, looking nothing like a pretty ballerina dancer. Reflections don't lie. Once the waves would come, my reflection was washed away just like my dream to dance.

As I grew older, I began to realize that the reason my dream was even born was because it was something that was inside of me. The dream I had was never nurtured(培育) and cared for, so it slowly died. It's not that I wanted it to die, but I allowed it to die the day I started listening to the words, "You can't do it." When I finally woke up from many years of dreaming, I realized that you can't only settle for dancing in the wildflowers, you have to move on to the platform.

3D films are fun一of course they are, even the bad ones. But these movies are still in their infancy. The question is whether 3D filmmakers can do better.

I have no doubt they will, but I believe they will achieve cosmetic changes around the edges rather than revolutionary breakthroughs. 3D filmmakers don't realize, or at least have not sufficiently taken to heart, that the medium they're working in is binocular (同时用双目的)film, not merely 3D film. And once one realizes this, it is possible to see that whole fields of potential film experi?ence have been left entirely untapped.

When we say 3D movies, we are referring to stereopisis (立体视觉）. But binocular vision refers to the use of two eyes for vision, whereas stereopsis is just one of the functions binocular vision gives us.

Why do we have such a large binocular vision field in the first place? I have argued in my book，The Vision Revolution，that we have forward-facing eyes in order to see well in cluttered forest habitats. Our large binocular field evolved for seeing past layers of clutter( 一堆杂乱的东西),and integrating two different views of a scene into a single combined view. I call this function of binocu?lar vision “X-ray vision” because it allows us to see the clutter as semi-transparent, something through which to see the scene beyond.

If 3D filmmakers are going to throw binocular images at our big binocular field, then they should be sending us views of the kind that field evolved to process ： views within cluttered environ?ments ,whether leafy forests or spider-web-filled rooms. In this light, 3D film ought to put the viewer into the bodies and eyes of characters in the story，placing him or her into the interactions between the characters and their surroundings. This would allow viewers to truly see out of the eyes of others, to experience other worlds, and yet not have the views of the scenes beyond blocked out, just as in real life. A simple first step forward is to begin calling them binocular movies ，not 3D movies.

47. The underlined word "cosmetic" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to “.

A. seeming　　　　　 B. welcome　　　　　　　　　 C. unnecessary　　　　 A, thorough

48.According to the author, why have 3D filmmakers not made a breakthrough?

A. They are short of resources.

B. They are satisfied with what they have achieved.

C. They don't know how 3D really works.

D. They don't know what 3D technology can really achieve.

49.What would binocular movies be able to do?

A. Take advantage of X-rays.

B. Make use of cluttered images.

C. Place viewers within real cluttered environments during movies.

D. See the surrounding world through the eyes of other viewers.

50 . What is the main idea of the text?

A. The evolution of binocular vision.

B. The problems 3D filmmakers face.

C. How binocular vision can be exploited in 3D films.

D. The differences between binocular films and 3D films.
