Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environme
24、nt(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 the
25、y buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: “Will this shampoo damage the environment? 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
26、 product before they buy it. This means that companies must now change the way they make ad 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 s
27、upermarket products carry labels (标签 ) to show that the product is 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
28、 business. No longer will the public accept the old attitude of “Buy it, use, it, throw it away, and forget it.“ The public pressure it on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act. 52 It becomes clear from the text that the driving force (动力 )behind green products is _. （ A） public caring for
29、the environment （ B） companies desire for bigger sales （ C） new ways of doing business （ D） rapid growth of supermarkets 53 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 54 The under
30、lined word “it“ in the fourth paragraph refers to _. （ A） a selling point （ B） the company name （ C） a great demand or health foods （ D） the manufacturing of green products 55 In Europe, men do not usually wear skirts. But the Scottish national costume for men is a kind of skirt. It is called a kilt
31、. The Scottish like to be different. They are also proud of their country and its history, and they feel that the kilt is part of that history. Thats why the men still wear kilts at old-style dances and on national holidays. They believe they are wearing the same clothes that Scottish men always use
32、d to wear. Thats what they believe. However, kilts are not really so old. Before 1730, Scottish men wore a long shirt and blanket around their shoulders. Theses clothes got in the way when they started to work in factories. So, in 1730 a factory owner changed the blanket into a skirt: the kilt. That
33、s how the first kilt was made. Then, in the late 1700s Scottish soldiers in the British Army began to wear kilts. One reason for this was national sentiment: The Scottish soldiers wanted to look different from the English soldiers. The British Army probably had a different reason. A Scottish soldier
34、 in a kilt was always easy to find! The Scottish soldiers fought very hard and became famous. The kilt was part of that fame, and in the early 1800s men all through Scotland began to wear kilts. These kilts had colorful stripes going up and down and across. In the 1700s and early 1800s, the color of
35、 the stripes had no special meaning. Men sometimes owned kilts in several different colors. But later the colors became important to the Scottish families. By about 1850, most families had special colors for their kilts. For example, men from the Campbell family had kilts with green, yellow and blue
36、 stripes. Scottish people often believe that the colors of the kilts are part of their family history. In fact, each family just chose the colors they liked best. This is not the story you will hear today if you are in Scotland. Most Scottish people still believe that kilts are as old as Scotland an
37、d that the colors are as old as the Scottish families. Sometimes feelings are stronger than facts! 55 This passage is about _. （ A） Scottish men （ B） the history of Scotland （ C） kilts （ D） Scottish families 56 The first kilt was made _. （ A） in Paris （ B） in the British Army （ C） by a factory owner
38、 （ D） by a Scottish family 57 Scottish soldiers wore kilts partly because of _. （ A） the colors （ B） the weather （ C） national sentiment （ D） the style 58 Men all over Scotland started to wear kilts _. （ A） in the late 1700s （ B） in the early 1800s （ C） in the 1700s and early 1800s （ D） by about 185
39、0 59 When I was a little boy, I really liked my older brother, Tom. He was the best pitcher (投手 ) on his baseball team, the Dreams. I always played catch (接球 ) with Tom. He threw so fast that I couldnt often catch the ball. He always asked me, “Have you had enough yet, Mark?“ But I said I wanted to
40、play more. I wanted to be a good player like Tom. When I was ten years old, I joined a team, the Stars. I didnt join the Dreams because my friends on the Stars wanted me to join them. I practiced very hard with my team every Saturday afternoon. The next summer came, my team was going to play against
41、 the Dreams. I thought, “I want to hit Toms basketball, but it will be too fast for me to hit.“ I practiced hitting basket- balls harder than before. I talked with Tom about the game. He said, “With my basketball, my team is going to win.“ One Saturday afternoon we had the game. It began at 1: 00. M
42、other came to watch us. No one could hit Toms basketball. The game was coming to its end. My last chance came. I had to hit his basketball. “Strike one,“ called the umpire (裁判员 ). “Oh, thats fast!“ I thought. Tom looked great. He threw again, but I couldnt hit that one, either. “Hit the next ball. M
43、ark,“ the players on my team shouted. I thought, “How can I do that? No one has hit his basketball since the game began. But I have to hit it for our team.“ Tom threw again. It was another basketball. I kept my eyes on it. This time I was able to hit it! I watched the ball in the sky and started to
44、run. A player on the Dreams ran fast to try to catch it, but he couldnt. I was safe! Everyone on my team shouted, “You did it!“ I was very happy. But when I saw Tom, I couldt be happy any more. He was watching me. He didnt look happy. The next player on my team didnt hit Toms basketball. That was th
45、e end of the game. The Dreams won. After the game I went to Tom, but I didnt know what to say to him. He said to me with a smile, “You hit my basketball very well.“ I said, “Thank you.“ Tom said to me, “You hit my basketball today, but next time it will be much faster. O. K.?“ I answered him with a
46、smile, “Yes, Ill practice much harder, Tom.“ Mother listened to us and said, “Tom and Mark, you both did a very good job.“ She looked very happy. 59 Which of the following is TRUE? （ A） Tom was the best pitcher on the Stars. （ B） Mark was the best pitcher on the Dreams. （ C） Tom thought that his tea
47、m would win. （ D） Mark was sure that he could hit Toms basketball. 60 When he was a little boy, _. （ A） Mark didnt like Tom. （ B） Mark always played catch with Tom. （ C） Mark didnt want to be a good player like Tom. （ D） Mark was very good at catching Toms basketball. 61 Tom didnt look happy, becaus

Some people go to fast-food restaurants for these reasons. In the past, people usually went to diners (路边小餐馆 ) for these reasons. In fact, many people in the States still go to diners today for the same reasons.
