12．阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题
''Sooner or later，we will have to recognize that the Earth also has rights to live without pollution．What we must know is that human beings cannot live without the Earth，but the planet can live without humans．
-Evo Morales  I am not the one to tell people what to do； I basically believe that we have a right to our own opinions，social issues，etc．Now，I must stress one issue that seems to be a growing trend：pick up your trash．
  I love the fact that parents involve their children in outdoor activities．In fact，I encourage outdoor activities for children．I think that being outdoors away from technological devices stimulates the imagination； that is to say，it provides materials for children's writing and creation．I really do love seeing a family sitting along a river bridge and enjoying some summertime fishing as well as exploring．But what I do not like is going back to the same area the next day and finding the place littered with trash．Pick up your trash．
  If you are teaching your children about outdoor activities，such as fishing，teach them to respect nature as well．When packing your supplies for the day's outing，throw a small kitchen bad in with the rest of the items．Use the kitchen bag to throw your papers，cans，wrappers，containers and everything else that was not at the site upon arrival．Remember to take the kitchen bag with you．Don't misuse your responsibility and model．
  I have to admit that I am not perfect when it comes to the whole reduce，reuse，and recycle program．From my desk right now，I can see a pile of old magazines that need to be taken to the recycling center．But I would never leave trash along a road site or other public areas．
  I would like to see future generation enjoy the outdoors without all the pollutants left behind today．For now，I would just like to take my wildlife photos without litter in the background．Pick up your trash．

Answer 1

分析 本文为环境保护类说明文，作者告诉读者，地球可以不需要人类，但是人类不能没有地球．作者提倡把自己的垃圾捡起来；作者认为父母带孩子们参与户外活动是有益的，但是活动结束后要把自己的垃圾带走；同时提倡父母要教育孩子尊重自然； 作者希望后代人在享受户外活动时周围环境没有今天的人们留下的污染物．

解答 56．答案是He means that human beings should change their attitude towards the Earth．细节理解题．第一段中Evo Morales的意思是地球也有不被污染生存的权利；地球可以不需要人类，但是人类不能没有地球，即人类要改变对地球的态度（Human beings should change their attitude towards the Earth）．
57．答案是Inspires．词汇理解题．由下文的解释"it provides materials for children's writing and creation（它为孩子们提供写作和创造的材料）"推断"stimulates the imagination"表示"激发"想象力，故答案是Inspire（激发）．
58．答案是To respect nature．/Teach them to respect nature．细节理解题．由第四段的第一句"If you are teaching your children about outdoor activities，such as fishing，teach them to respect nature as well．"可知，作者建议在教孩子们户外活动时，也要教会他们尊重自然，故答案是To respect nature．/Teach them to respect nature．
59．答案是 Becuse he doesn't do well in the whole reduce，reuse and recycle program．细节理解题．根据倒数第二段第一句"I have to admit that I am not perfect when it comes to the whole reduce，reuse，and recycle program．"可知，作者认为，在全面的减少，再利用和再循环程序中，自己做得不够好；
60．答案是We can walk instead of driving to reduce pollution．开放题．有关环境保护的措施，从节约能源和减少污染方面考虑，如为了减少污染，我们可以步行，而不是开车"We can walk instead of driving to reduce pollution．"

点评 阅读要整体理解文章，在做细节题时根据题干定位细节，在语境中正确理解原句，然后对照选项做出合理的判断；必要的时候要进行推理，透过句子表面看作者的真正意图．如果是主旨大意的判断要把握文章整体，避免以偏概全．
