The daughter asked for 6 turning it off as the faucet handle was 7 .

So at two in the morning 9 in the family was out in the yard helping to 10 to turn off the water.Young people have much more 11 to start and accomplish changes than what 12 may believe. When children make a change in their lives, families are 13 along to become environmentally friendly.The story also shows that 14 actions can have a big impact. We 15 to think about 16 events like Clean and Green Week. Instead, a lot of small changes can make a (n) 17 If hundreds or thousands of students 18 their families to turn off the tap to save water, move the air conditioning temperature 19 a degree or two in summer, drive less and make other environmentally-friendly changes, the 20 family may change its behaviors.1、AexhaustedBdelightedCsadDangry2、Aturn onBturn offCtake alongDbring along3、AmotherBfamilyCschoolDgroup4、AafterBonCduringDbefore5、AsoundBvoiceCrhymeDmusic6、AadviceBpleasureChelpDtrouble7、AopenedBthrownCdroppedDbroken8、AstopBpreventCholdDcut9、AsomeoneBanyoneCeveryoneDno one10、AfixBdigCmendDfit11、ApowerBtimeCenergyDwisdom12、AofficialsBteenagersCteachersDadults13、AsavedBpraisedCseatedDdragged14、AimportantBsmallCunnecessaryDinfluential15、AplanBtendCattemptDmean16、AnewBtraditionalCbigDsocial17、AlivingBdifferenceCeffortDfortune18、AwantBallowCconvinceDforce19、AoffBawayCdownDup20、ArichBlargeCentireDordinarySection II Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections:Read the following four texts.

(40 points)Text 1 Tiny microbes(微生物) are at the heart of a new agricultural technique to manage harmful greenhouse gas. Scientists have discovered how microbes can be used to turn carbon dioxide into soil-enriching limestone(石灰石), with the help of a type of tree that grows in tropical areas, such as West Africa.Researchers have found that when the Iroko tree is grown in dry, acidic soil and treated with a combination of natural fungi(霉菌) and other bacteria, not only does the tree grow well, it also produces the mineral limestone in the soil around its root.The Iroko tree makes a mineral by combining Ca from the earth with CO2 from the atmosphere. The bacteria then create the conditions under which this mineral turns into limestone. The discovery offers a new way to lock carbon into the soil, keeping it out of the atmosphere. In addition to storing carbon in the trees leaves and in the form of limestone, the mineral in the soil makes it more suitable for agriculture.The discovery could lead to reforestation(重新造林) projects in tropical countries, and help reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the developing world. It has already been used in West Africa and is being tested in Bolivia, Haiti and India.The findings were made in a three-year project involving researchers from the Universities of Edinburgh, Granada, Lausanne and Delft University of Technology. The project examined several microbiological methods of locking CO2 as limestone, and the Iroko-bacteria way showed best results. Work was funded by the European Commission under the Future&Emerging Technologies(FET) scheme.Dr Bryne Ngwenya of the University of Edinburghs School of GeoSciences, who led the research, said:“By taking advantage of this natural limestone-producing process, we have a low-tech, safe, readily employed and easily operating way to lock carbon out of the atmosphere, while improving farming conditions in tropical countries.”1、The passage is mainly introducing _.Asome useful natural fungi and bacteriaBa new way to deal with greenhouse gasCa newly-found tree in West AfricaDthe soil-enriching limestone creat
