解析

试题分析: 本文属于记叙文题材。在文章中作者介绍了自从1970年第一个地球日成立以来，美国的环境问题有了很大的改善。以前在公共事物中无足轻重的环境问题现在成立一项社会问题，从科学家到大学教授到贫民百姓都有了环保意识。而且作者指出教育在这种变化方面也起着非常重要的作用。小题1:C 考查细节理解。根据文章首段Anderson说的话“We didn’t know at that time there even was an environment,let alone that there was a problem with it,可知当时人们不知道环境这个概念，更别说环境问题了，由此可知答案选C。小题2:A 考查细节理解。根据文章第二段.Business people,political leaders,university professors,and especially millions of grass-roots可知商人，政界领导，大学教授，尤其是平民百姓们都参与到了保护环境的运动中来，由此判断保护环境的支持主要来自草根阶层，故答案选A。小题3:D 考查细节理解。根据文章倒数第二段内容In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs …… and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution .可知回收工作的改进，先进产品或者住房设计的研制开发等其结果都是有效减少了污染，改善了环境,故答案选D。小题4:A考查主旨要义。文章末段提到目前几乎每所学校都有关于环境保护的课程，而且通过最后Bruce Anderson说的话“Until we do that , nothing el will change! ”可知教育在改变人们保护环境意思，改善环境问题方面至关重要，故答案选A。

考点

据考高分专家说，试题“Since the first Eart.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。 日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念：

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。

日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：

【题型说明】该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。 【备考提醒】为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点： 1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。 2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。 3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。 4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
