题目内容

The Greenbelt, a wide belt of open land around the cities and towns of the San Francisco Bay Area, includes about 3.75 million of the Bay Area’s 4.5 million acres. The Bay Area Greenbelt is one of the largest areas of open land in any U.S. urban area. Open land is land that has few buildings and lots of natural areas. The Greenbelt’s open land includes parks, forests, beaches, and more than 8,500 farms.
What are the advantages of the Greenbelt?
The Greenbelt has many advantages for people in the Bay Area, which include:
l walking and biking areas close to the cities and towns;
l places for wild plants and animals;
l cleaner air and water;
l income from farms.
Is the Greenbelt in danger?
Five hundred seventy thousand acres of the Greenbelt are in danger. There are builders who want to build suburbs on them. If those acres become suburbs, many things will change:
l the urban and suburban area will almost double;
l many farms will disappear;
l traffic will become worse; 
l the air will become dirtier.
What is Greenbelt Alliance (联盟)?
Greenbelt Alliance, an organization that saves land in the San Francisco Bay Area, works alone and with other groups to save the Greenbelt in four ways:
1. Try to persuade people to build new buildings on land that is already urban, not on open land.
2. Make sure that the city and town governments are all making plans to save the Greenbelt.

Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is the color of most growing plants, too.
Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet finished or plants that are not ripe.
For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns had not yet developed. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in war (战争). By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today--a person who is new in a job.
About one hundred years ago, greenhorn was a popular expression in the American west. Old-timers used it to describe a man who had just arrived from one of the big cities in the east. The greenhorn didn’t have the skills that he would need to live in the hard, rough country.
Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from the early nineteen hundreds.
A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.
The Green Revolution (革命) is the name which was given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural (农业的) scientists who had green thumbs.
【小题1】According to the passage, a greenhorn means________ now.

A.a young cow or ox whose horns have not yet developed
B.a soldier who has not had any experience in war
C.a person who is new in a job
D.a man who doesn’t have the skills to live in the country
【小题2】The meaning of the underlined word “ripe” in the second paragraph is ________.
A.未完成的B.成熟的C.青涩的D.老练的
【小题3】Which of the following about the Green Revolution is NOT right?
A.If there weren’t the Green Revolution, we would have no rice to eat.
B.The expression “the Green Revolution” appeared several years ago.
C.Because of the Green Revolution, we have more kinds of rice and other grains.
D.Agricultural scientists with green thumbs started the Green Revolution.
【小题4】We can know from the passage that _______.
A.all growing plants is green
B.green is the most important color in nature
C.a person with a green thumb can make plants grow well
D.the expression “a green thumb” has a history of two hundred years
【小题5】The main idea of the passage is ________.

C.the Green RevolutionD.the word “green” and its story

For the past many centuries, people had been enjoying the benefits of green tea for the body. Many people would prefer drinking green tea than white tea and black tea, simply because of its distinct aroma(香味) not found in other types of tea. Nowadays, keeping the natural greenish color of tea leaves remained just like before. This is done by preparing the green tea just like the way it was prepared before—by washing the leaves right after pulling off them from the bush, then boiling them.
There have been many healthful claims saying that drinking green tea-based products help a lot in improving the general health of their body. For a long time, there has been many beliefs saying that green tea can help, cure beriberi disease(脚气病), treat wounds, and even prevent tiredness. Now modern technology determines that there are even added healthful benefits that include reducing the possibility of having a heart disease and helping people to lose more weight easily.
Besides, studies have found out that green tea has Polyphenols(多酚类), a type of flaonoid(类黄酮) that greatly reduces the amount of time of cell maturation. The flavonoid found in green tea is called EGCg- a stronger matter than Vitamin C and E. It is believed to be 20 times stronger than these mentioned vitamins.
Having two cups of green tea daily is a good routine for your body. However, most doctors would suggest drinking at least 4 cups a day is the best. You can slowly increase the amount of drinking it to allow your body to get used to it. There is nothing to lose but everything to gain in drinking green tea.

     Imagine a world 400 years ago where children were used as chimney sweeps. The pay was low, it was
a dirty trade and there was little reward for the men who did the job and even less for children.
     Medway's annual Sweeps Festival recreates the joy and laughter enjoyed by the chimney sweeps at their
traditional holiday: the one time of the year the sweeps could leave the soot (烟灰) behind and have some fun.
The sweeps' holiday was traditionally held on 1 May each year. Locally, they used to mark the occasion by
staging a procession through the streets of Rochester.
     Their fun continued with the Jack-in-the-Green ceremony, a seven-foot character that they used to waken
at dawn on Blue Bell Hill, Chatham. The Jack-in-the-Green would walk with the chimney sweeps in their
parade. When the Climbing Boys' Act 1868 made it illegal to employ young boys to carry out the trade, the
traditional procession gradually began to fade. The final May celebration was held in the early 1900s.
     The modern day Rochester Sweeps Festival is a colorful mix of music, dancing and entertainment with
more than 60 Morris sides and entertainers celebrating throughout the three-day festival. The festival was
revived in 1981 by local businessman Gordon Newton, a keen historian. He decided it was time to bring it
back and over the years he has helped develop the festival into what it is today-an excellent performance of
traditional Britain.
     Gordon researched the Sweeps' tradition and organized a small parade, involving local Morris teams. In
time, Medway Council took over organization of the festival but Gordon remained actively involved. Today
he is festival producer and plays melodeon (簧风琴) for several Morris teams. Doug Hudson is the festival's
music director, a role he has held for many years. Through Gordon's vision and hard work, Doug's musical
ability and the council's help, the Rochester Sweeps Festival has become the largest May Day celebration of
its kind in the country.
