5.Our environment isn't as green and beautiful as it should be.There are steel(钢铁) monsters blocking out the sun,blowing out dangerous smoke,and letting out poisonous chemicals into rivers,cars producing harmful waste gas,people throwing out waste in a wrong way and all other kinds of sources that ruin the planet.Facing current environmental problems,people need to do their best to save the earth.
You can see many big garbage dustbins in the streets.They're not there for a show,but for you to drop your waste.We should realize that what we do does count.So next time you get that urge to throw gum or a chocolate package out of the car window,or"accidentally"drop as you walk down the street,ask yourself how much waste you've been contributing to the environment with that bad habit going on for years.
At home,the first thing we can do to protect the environment is avoid letting water run continuously and make sure that taps(水龙头)are not leaky(漏的),which would help greatly in scrimping.Another is to use energy-saving lights,and turn them off before you leave the rooms.It is not only energy-saving,but also cuts down electricity costs.
Recycling is a method to make items reusable.Many things you want to throw out can be made into new products through the reproducing process.Use your imagination to come up with ways on things that you can use again.
Pass the message of simple ways to save the environment on to kids.Starting with kids is a good way of teaching the message early in their lives,in the hope that they can carry it forward as they grow older.
With environmental protection awareness in mind,we can do what we can,for the results are to have a big effect on the planet.As long as we do our part,the world is one small step closer to being saved.

29.In the first paragraph the author uses"steel monsters"to describeC.
A.huge buildings      B.high mountains
C.big factories       D.characters in fairy stories
30.From the fifth paragraph,we can know thatB.
A.protecting the environment begins with small chores
B.protecting the environment should start from childhood.
C.wonderful life comes from environmental protection
D.protecting the environment benefits the country and the people
31.Which of the following is NOT true?D
A.The more people do their part,the greener the environment will be.
B.Selling what you don't want any more is a kind of recycling.
C.To protect the environment may help you save some money.
D.Your bad habits for the environment are a valuable contribution.
32.The passage is mainly aboutC.
A.the use of garbage dustbins 
B.how to save water and electricity
C.how to save the environment 
D.our current environmental problems.

2.Amusement parks make most of their money from admission fees paid by guests attending the park.Other sources include parking fees,food and drink sales and souvenirs.Practically all amusement parks operate using one of two admission principles:
Pay-as-you-go.In this form,a guest enters the park at little or no charge.The guest must then buy rides one by one,either at the attraction's entrance or by buying ride tickets.The cost of the attraction is often based on its complexity (复杂性) or popularity.The park may allow guests t o buy unlimited admissions to all attractions within the park.A pass is then shown at the attraction entrance to gain admission.
Disneyland opened in 1955 using t he pay-as-you-go form.Initially,guests paid the ride admission fees at the attractions.Soon,the problems of dealing with so many coins led to the development of a ticket system that,while now out of use,is still part of the amusement-park vocabulary.In this new form,guests bought ticket books that contained a number of tickets,with"A,""B"and"C."Rides and attractions using an"A-ticket"were generally simple,with"B-tickets"and"C-tickets"used for the larger,more popular rides.Later,the"D-ticket"was added,then finally the now-famous"E-ticket,"which was used for the biggest rides,like Space Mountain.Smaller tickets could be traded up for use on larger rides.Disneyland,as well as the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World,gave up this practice in 1982.
●The advantages include:
●guests pay for only what they choose to experience
●attraction costs can be changed easily
●The disadvantages include:
●guests may get tired of spending money almost continuously
       guests may not spend as much on food or souvenirs

24.What is the passage mainly about?C
A.Attractions of amusement parks.
B.Admission fees of amusement parks.
C.Admission principles of amusement parks.
D.Sources of income of amusement parks.
25.According to the pay-as-you-go principle,guestsB.
A.don't pay at the gate of the park  
B.must pay for each ride they take
C.have to pay for all rides in the park  
D.needn't pay after entering the park
26.According to the passage,what is the meaning of the underlined word"Initially"in Paragraph 3?B
A.Gradually.
B.At the beginning.
C.At last.
D.Commonly.
27.What would be introduced following the passage?A   
A.The other admission principle.
B.Amusement parks'earnings.
C.Some other admission principles.
D.Users of the pay-as-you-go principle.
