Question

 Some of the greatest problems we face today are the destruction (破坏) of our environment,such as brown clouds,polluted water,endangered wild animals . . . These problems seem so huge.

  So my family do what we can do. We take cloth bags to stores instead of using plastic bags. If we can walk to a place,we never drive there.

  But does it do any good? When I am the only one in line at the market with cloth bags,am I doing any good? Does my walking to stores make any real differences to the world?

  I recently learned something about flamingos (火烈鸟) which like to get together in groups of a thousand or more. Every year,when the time for migration (迁徙) comes,a few of them first take off from the lake. But none of the others seem to notice,so the small group returns. However,next day they try again. This time a few more fly along with them,but most of the others still pay no attention,so they return again. They try several times. Every time a few more birds join in,but since thousands of others still take no notice,the great migration plan is once more stopped.

  Then one day something changes. The same small group of birds once again starts flying and a small number more join in just as before,then more. Finally,they all take flight and the migration really begins. What a spectacular sight it must be―thousands of flamingos taking off into the sky at the same time!

  A few can make a difference. Even if you're the one to take the first step,continue trying and others will some day take notice and together we will solve even our greatest problems.

Answer 1

1. C推理判断题。由题目中的关键词Where would you most probably read,可回原文定位并理解全文。文章讲述的是作者自己的经历和想法.最有可能来个人的博客。

2. A细节理解题。由题目中的关键词use cloth bags in stores ,可回原文定位于第二段。根据第一段环境污染严重和第二段"So my family do what we can do."可知，作者购物时使用布袋是为了保护环境。

3. D 词义猜测题。由题目中的关键词"spectacular" in Paragraph 5，可回原文定位于第五段。成T上万的火烈鸟起飞的场面是壮观的。因此speclacukr的意思是"壮观的"，相.当于famastic。

4. B细节理解题。根据第四段第一句"I recently learned something about flamingos which like to get together in groups of a thousand or more."可知，火烈鸟喜欢成群进行活动。

5. B观点态度题。作者通过这篇文章告诉读者虽然现在跟自己做同样的事的人很少，但是只要坚持，总有一天自己做的事会产生影响。
