No Car Day was first started by 34 cities in France on September 22, 1998．It was started to protect the environment. By now, more than 1,000 cities around the world have had a No Car Day.

In Beijing, more and more people are joining the campaign（运动）. It asks drivers to leave their cars at home for one day each month and walk or ride a bike to work.

So far, more than 200,000 drivers have shown their support. “We can’t control the weather, but we can choose not to drive,” said Wu Zonghua, a car club chairman.

More than 100，000 volunteers in 132 cities spent a weekend picking up plastic and other waste across the country, in a joint worldwide effort to clean up the planet.

To celebrate the 10th World Cleanup Day on Sept 15，some 700 non­profit NGOs (non­governmental originations) and social groups held activities aimed at cleaning up the environment and tackling the waste crisis throughout China, mobilizing an estimated 1 million­plus people.

From snowcapped mountains to vast oceans, people united in taking action to remove waste from the environment to raise awareness of the severity of the crisis.

“Where there is a will, every day can be and should be ‘Cleanup Day’， says Ma Yongjian, a volunteer from Beijing who recently did “plogging”—jogging while picking up trash—with his friends in Yudong Park in the northwest of the city.

“We must change the way of living we are used to, to reduce waste from its source，” says Joe Harvey, a British national and promoter of “zero waste” lifestyles in China. He and his girlfriend Carrie Yu created The Bulk House, a brand that provides zero­waste solutions for daily living. They are urging people to reduce or eliminate the use of plastic and single­use disposables, such as plastic utensils，bags and beverage bottles.

Sounding a note of caution, Mao Da, a specialist in environmental history at Beijing Normal University, says: “In recent years, the massive consumption and materialistic craze have worsened the waste situation as trash has been produced at a faster pace and in greater quantities.”

Many people spend more than four hours per day on WeChat, and it is redefining the word “friend”. Does friending someone on social media make him or her your friend in real life?

Those with whom you attended a course together, went to a party and intended to cooperate but failed take up most of your WeChat “friends”. In chat records, the only message may be a system notification (通知)，“Somebody has accepted your friend request” or “ You have accepted somebody’s friend request”.

Sometimes when seeing some photos shared on “Moments”，you even need several minutes to think about who this person is and when you became “friends”.

Also, you may be disturbed by mass messages sent from your unacquainted “friends”, including requests for voting for their children or friends. You would have thought about removing this type of “friends” and sort out your connections. But actually you did not do that as you were taught that social networking is valuable to one’s success. Then, with fantasies, you keep amplifying (增加）your “friends” in social media and click “like” on some pictures that you are not really interested.

Applying make-up on crowded buses is worse than ________, which ranks as number 9 bad manners.

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

For more than two days in September 1974, the people of Honduras shut their windows, locked their doors and covered in their homes. Fifi was outside, and they were frightened.

By the time Fifi had left, 8,000 people were dead, Fifi wasn't a pet dog as the name suggests. It was a hurricane, one of the most destructive natural phenomena in the world.

Why do we give human names to storms and hurricanes?

We didn't always. Two hundred years ago, many hurricanes in the Caribbean were named after the saint's(基督徒的)day on which the storm occurred. Later, storms were known by the name of the city where they came ashore.

Meteorologists (气象学家) then tried naming storms after the latitude (纬度) and longitude (经度) where they occurred.

Finally, in 1953, hurricanes started getting people's names —specifically, female names. Male names were added in 1979.

There are six sets of names for what the experts call “Atlantic tropical cyclones”( 热带风暴)．

Each list is used every six years and consists of 21 names, starting with every letter but Q, U, X, Y ，Z. the names alternate (交替)between male and female.

A storm won't get a name until its winds reach 39 mph or about 62.4 kph, at which point it becomes a tropical storm. At 74 mph or 118.4 kph it's declared a hurricane.

The 126 names on the list are used only for storms that form off the Atlantic coast of the US. There are separate lists for the Pacific.

So what happens if a hurricane should cross from the Atlantic to the Pacific? It's happened before. The storm just gets a new name and sometimes a new sex.

Max Mayfield is the director of the National Hurricane Centre, headquartered in Miami, Florida. He is in charge of picking new names for storms off the Atlantic coast.

He doesn't do it alone, though. His counterparts in two dozen other countries in the Caribbean, Central America and North America vote on what names will replace retired names.

1.From the first paragraph we can find that ________.

A．Honduras is a country which was destroyed by Fifi

B．Honduras is a country which has no mountains

C．Honduras is a country which faces the ocean

D．Honduras is a country which lies at high latitude

2.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．There were no hurricanes two centuries ago.

B．The Caribbean is a state of the United States.

C．The Caribbean is a place where hurricanes occur often.

D．Fifi was formed off the Pacific.

3.The names for storms and hurricanes, as this passage shows，________.

A．are set for use.　

B．are all from American English

C．are difficult to spell　

D．are easy to fix

4.The underlined word “counterparts” in the last paragraph means ________.

A．citizens holding the same opinion　

B．people with a similar position or function

C．passengers traveling by sea

D．assistants working abroad
