解析
作者通过生活中所遭受的烟雾的侵扰,联想到了污染的危害性，进而呼吁国家应大力采取措施来保护环境,尽力使其处于自然状态。
小题1:the other day意为“几天前”，可以用作状语。
小题2:四个选项中只有have可以同时后接a drink和a talk这样两个宾语。
小题3:it 为形式主语,that从句为真主语从句,全句意为“餐馆里几乎每个人都在抽烟,此事突然引起了我的注意”。A、C不能接人，应予排除，show表示人为地展示给他人看，在此不合语境。
小题4:it is not long before …是一个句型，表示没过多久就……，由此可以看出烟雾之大。
小题5:根据意义和搭配不难选定。
小题6:ask for permission意为“请求允许”,其他三个选项不合逻辑。
小题7:这里有点夸张的味道，从句末的感叹号上也能体会出作者当时的心情。
小题8:这里的双重否定表示“一上街就自然地…”。B、C、D三项明显不合逻辑。
小题9:从词语搭配角度考虑。
小题10:只有真正地“改善了公共交通系统，才能使市民弃用私车”。
小题11:目的就是要鼓励人们把车“停放”在家中。
小题12:由于高空中的烟雾,作者朋友在上飞行课时自然会感到身体，尤其是眼睛不舒服，由作者朋友的心理活动I’m breathing that也可作出这种推断。
小题13:在高处向下看物体应用look down at sth。
小题14:空中的烟雾应该视作一种“污染”。
小题15:此处为递进关系，表示“能且应该”，故用and。
小题16:道路应用“建设(construction)”。building表示房屋的“建筑”，应排除。
小题17:另三个选项不能概全。
小题18:这里表达的是作者的一种愿望。
小题19:作者意思是指要通过建公园来保护环境。根据意义不难排除另三个选项。
小题20:保持自然状态以用states为好。

This comes after a national law was passed to give prison sentences to people who desert cats or dogs.
“The civilization of a city can be measured by this,” said Monica Cirinna, the councilor (议员)behind the new law.
“It’s good to do whatever we can for our animals who in exchange for a little love fill our existence with their attention,” she told a Rome newspaper.
The newspaper reported that round bowls don’t give enough oxygen for fish and may make them go blind.
“Rome has tried to protect fish more than anywhere else in the world. It stands out for recognizing that fish are interesting animals who deserve our respect and compassion every bit as much as dogs and cats and other animals,” said Karin Robertson, a director of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
Last year a law was passed in Italy that gives people who desert pets big fines and prison sentences. Since then local governments have added their own animal protection rules.
The northern city of Turin passed a law in April to give pet owners fines of up to $598 if they do not walk their dogs three times a day.
The new law in Rome also says that owners mustn’t leave their dogs in hot cars or cut their dogs’ tails to make them look lovelier. The law also gives legal recognition to the “cat ladies” who feed homeless cats. The cats live all over the city from ancient ruins to modern office car parks.
小题1:The new law passed in Rome will ________.
| A．help improve fishing environment |
| B．guarantee better conditions for goldfish |
| C．stop people from catching goldfish |
| D．discourage keeping goldfish at home |
| A．exchanges with other cities |
| B．protection for ancient ruins |
| C．awareness of animal protection |
| D．recognition of animal lovers |
| A．pity | B．praise | C．support | D．popularity |
| A．keep their dogs or cats in cars |
| B．feed homeless animals in car parks |
| C．raise their cats near ancient ruins |
| D．shut their dogs home all day long |
The rates②of change that we’re noticing are much higher than expected. If these rates continue, it is not unlikely that Greenland could shrink③by several tens of percent this century. However, it’s not known how quickly this coastal response of the Greenland ice sheet melting will have an effect on the vast inland ice.
Greenland is the world’s largest island, covering an area more than three times the size of Texas. Some 81 percent of it is covered by ice, and there are many glaciers. Glaciers are like slow-moving rivers of ice. Where a glacier meets the sea, its weight keeps it firmly resting on the bottom. A glacier’s front is the point where the water is deep enough that the glacier floats.
Since the 1970s, the front of Helheim stayed in the same place. Then it began melting rapidly, moving back 4.5 miles from 2001 through this past summer. It has also grown thinner, from top to bottom, by more than 130 feet since 2001. And over these past four years, its trip to the sea has sped up from about 70 feet per day to nearly 110.
The melting is driven by a warmer climate. Temperatures in Greenland have risen more than five degrees Fahrenheit in the last decade. Since most of Greenland’s ice is on land, seas will rise as the ice melts. If all Greenland’s ice sheet melted, oceans would be 15-20 feet higher. Nobody expects that to happen anytime soon.
Notes:
① glacier n. 冰川
② rate n. 比率
③ shrink v. 缩小
1. Which of the following about the glaciers is TRUE?
A. Glaciers only lie in Greenland. B. Water in glaciers is more than sea water.
C. Glaciers sometimes float on the water. D. Glaciers can increase the water level of lakes.
2. According to the text, we know that Greenland ______.
A. belongs to Canada B. is the largest island in North America
C. is all covered with glaciers D. is sinking under the sea level
3. Which of the following may be the result of the disappearing of Greenland glaciers?
A. the climate of the world will be warmer.
B. the glaciers in other area will be bigger.
C. It will be easy for explorers to visit the island.
D. Some coastal cities may be under the sea.
