18．It is not quite clear_______our local government will do with air pollution．（　　）
A．whetherB．howC．whatD．that

分析 我们的当地政府如何解决大气污染问题是很不明确的．

解答 答案：B．
本句中It为形式主语，根据谓语部分is not quite clear（很不明确）可知，应该是政府如何治理大气污染，所以为how引导的主语从句，而不是"是否"（whether）治理，排除A；what引导主语从句时要充当成分，此处从句不缺少成分，可排除C项；that引导的主语从句为一肯定事实，和谓语部分的意思相矛盾，排除D；do with处理；故选B．

点评 对于名词性从句的引导词要明白具体的意思和用法，that引导主语从句且位于句首时不能省略；如：That he has told lies is quite clear．他说了谎，这一点很明显．

Augusto Esquivel is a sculptor who, in his own words, is “crazy with comparisons of reality and potential and the balance between them.” Perhaps the best example of what he’s talking about are his most famous creations: the suspended(悬挂的) button sculptures.

Made entirely from buttons hanging on various lengths of string, Esquivel’s sculptures are made to look like common objects: a piano, a gumball machine, and even a toilet. If it wasn’t for the clear string hanging above, these objects, these sculptures, would look solid, yet you can put your hands right through them. The process starts with him deciding on a subject and setting the acrylic （丙烯酸树脂）from where the buttons are being suspended. He buys buttons of different shapes and sizes, paints them with spray paint, and carefully hangs them. After that, it’s a manner of hanging each individual button, which takes a lot of time. For his piano, for example, he individually hung over 60 pounds worth of tiny buttons.

Esquivel’s sculptures, while mostly housed inside art galleries, perfectly capture one of the main principles of street art: something that is eye-catching and something that invites interaction. Often the best sculptures outside the art galleries aren’t the ones behind guards and fencing, but the ones people can go right up to and touch. In Vancouver, a series of laughing old men are attracting people for pictures and to just generally hang around, but the people who simply walk by and see the sculptures almost always leave with a smile on their face. That’s good street art: it draws the viewer in rather than relying on a gallery to draw in an audience and point them to certain pieces.

Esquivel’s art is not only a presentation of talent, something that mentions larger philosophical questions, like the ones he stated above, but also just the right combination of interesting idea and painstaking work. One can look at his work in a critical way, or simply appreciate his idea and execution(艺术品的制作).

4．When 19-year-old Sophia Giorgi said she was thinking of volunteering to help the Make-A-Wish Foundation（基金会），nobody understood what she was talking about．But Sophia knew just how important Make-A-Wish could be because this special organization had helped to make a dream come true for one of her best friends．We were interested in finding out more，so we went along to meet Sophia and listen to what she had to say．
Sophia told us that Make-A-Wish is a worldwide organization that started in the United States in 1980．"It's a charity（慈善机构） that helps children who have got very serious illnesses．Make-A-Wish helps children feel happy even though they are sick，by making their wishes and dreams come true，"Sophia explained．
We asked Sophia how Make-A-wish had first started．She said it had all begun with a very sick young boy called Chris，who had been dreaming for a long time of becoming a policeman．Sophia said lots of people had wanted to find a way to make Chris's dream come true-so，with everybody's help，Chris，only seven years old at the time，had been a"policeman"for a day．"When people saw how delighted Chris was when his dream came true，they decided to try and help other sick children too，and that was the beginning of Make-A-Wish，"explained Sophia．
Sophia also told us the Foundation tries to give children and their families a special，happy time．A Make-A-Wish volunteer visits the families and asks the children what they would wish for if they could have anything in the world．Sophia said the volunteers were important because they were the ones who helped to make the wishes come true．They do this either by providing things that are necessary，or by raising money or helping out in whatever way they can．

5．Planning a visit to the UK？Here we help with ways to cut your costs．
AVOID BIG EVENTS  Big sporting events，concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room．A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival （19 Oct．） cost£169.15 at Booking．com．A week later，the same room cost£118.15．
       If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid-or you're looking for a big event to pass your time-check out sites such as Whatsonwhen．com，which allow you to search for events in the UK by city，date and category．
STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train，you may want to find a good base close to the station，but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday．
       Don't be too choosy about the part of town you stay in．Booking two months in advance，the cheapest room at Travelodge's Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was£95.95．A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was£75.75．And at Farringdon，a double room cost just£62.95．
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London，Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune，especially at weekends and during big events．As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen．Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings．A great example is the historic O'Neill Flat on Edinburgh's Royal Mile，available for£420 for five days in late September，with room for four adults．
GET ON A BIKE London's‘Boris bikes'have attracted the most attention，but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace，saving you on public transport or car parking costs．
       Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle （casual members pay around£1.50 for two hours） and Cardiff （free for up to 30 minutes，or£5 per day）．（358 words）
