14.[1]As adolescents(青少年),having a meaningful effect on the world can seem like an impossible task for the simple fact of being kids.Changing the world does not only mean finding a cure for cancer,eliminationg poverty,or finding thr origin of humanity,but recycling a piece of paper as well.Going Green is a practical way that adolescents can have a real,meaningful influence in the world.There are numerous options of how individuals can change their lifestyles to be more eco-conscious(有生态环保意识的).What follows are three simple ways young adolescents can go green and change the world.1.Recycle
[2]According to a Wire & Twine online article,63million newspapers come out every day and of those 44million are thrown away; recycling the Sunday newspaper alone we could save half a million trees a week.
[3]The age of technology constantly creates new phones,iPods,or new computers.Many will stand in line for hours if not days to get their hands on the new piece of technology,but what happens with the old ones once they are replaced?Nothing,according to Earth911about 75% of the old devices sit in the back of a drawer collecting dust.By taking them to the local stores that collect them,they go to poor people which in turn removes them from landfills(垃圾填埋场) where the phones explode because of the lead and lithium-ion(锂离子) the phones contain.
2.Go vegetarian one day a week
[4]Instead of breaking down the pros and cons(利弊) of the vegetarian lifestyle into a long boring paragraph,here are some astonishing facts on going vegetarian for only one day.According to Noam Mohr,a physicist at the New York University,the United States would save 100billion gallons of water which is enough to supply all homes in New England for about 4months.
[5]The United States would save 70million gallons of gas which is enough to fuel all the cars of Canada and Mexico combined and still have some to spare.The United States could prevent 3million tons of soil erosion(侵蚀),4.5million tons of animal wastes,and about 7tons of ammonia emissions (氨排放).The Environmental Defense concludes with the most interesting fact:if the entire population gives up one meal of chicken,the amount of carbon dioxide accumulated would be the same amount if more than half a million cars were taken off U.S.roads.
3.第63题
[6]Most drink bottled water because of the common view that bottled water is healthier than regular tap water; actually,25% of bottled water comes from regular tap water and all that is done extra is it going through a filter(过滤器).Tap water has higher regulations from the FDA (Food and Drug Administration美国食品药品管理局) than bottled water does.Companies do not need to list where they got the water from,how they purify the water,or what chemicals their plastic water bottles contain.Plastic bottles do not get recycled 90% of the time which results in 1.5million tons of plastic in landfills which take thousands of years to rot.Not only are you drinking the same water as that in your house but also paying extra.The average 24-pack of bottled water cost 3.97atthelocalWal-Martandareusablewaterbottlecostbetween4.99-$7.99; just imagine how much money could be saved if reusable water bottles replaced plastic water bottles.
[7]Changing the world for a positive has to start somewhere and while it may be hard and at times it may seem as if the small changes that are being done are not affecting the world,keep in mind what Margaret Mead once said,"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful citizens can change the world; indeed,it's the only thing that ever has."

点评 科普类文章一般由标题(Head line),导语(Introduction),背景(Back ground),主体(Main body)和结尾(End)五部分构成.标题是文章中心思想高度而又精辟的概括,但根据历年的高考情况来看,这类阅读理解材料一般不给标题,而要同学们选择标题.导语一般位于整篇文章的首段.背景交待一个事实的起因.主体则对导语概括的事实进行详细叙述,这一部分命题往往最多,因此,阅读时,同学们要把这部分作为重点.结尾往往也是中心思想的概括,并与导语相呼应,命题者常在此要设计一道推理判断题.在进行推理判断时,同学们一定要以阅读材料所提供的科学事实为依据,同时所得出的结论还应符合基本的科普常识.
