28、   China’s economic growth has long impressed the world with its high speed. Now the country’s accelerating green transformation (转型) is expected to offer inspiring lessons in balancing the economy and the natural environment.

Ant Forest, a program on the platform of Alipay, last week won the 2019 UN Champions of the Earth award for turning the green good deeds of half a billion people into real trees planted in some of China’s most dry regions. It was not the first time that China won the UN’s highest environmental honor due to a positive influence on the environment. Last year, a green rural program in Zhejiang Province won this award for its work to repair polluted waterways and damaged lands. In 2017, Saihanba Forest Farm, a program in northern China, was awarded the same honor. The awards came due to China’s solid progress in ensuring the harmony between man and nature.

However, China’s past economic growth has not come without negative consequences for the environment and climate. In the late 1970s, with the rapid development of China’s economy, environmental problems also increased.

To strike a balance between economic boom and environmental burden, China put environmental protection as a basic national policy and the sustainable development strategy was put into practice in the 1990s. Now the country holds a belief: “Lucid (透明的) waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets.”

Increased environmental awareness and investments have produced results. Air quality in China continued to improve with more cities reporting a drop in major pollutant indicators. Surface water quality kept improving in general. In terms of soil pollution control, the country reduced solid waste imports by 46.5 percent last year.

Strong environmental protection has motivated related fields. The country becomes the first in the world to set up a national green finance system. It also helps push green finance to be included on the G20 agenda. In 2020, the total revenue of China’s environmental protection industry is expected to surpass 2 trillion.

Recognizing that protecting the environment is the best way to realize economic growth, China will continue to stick to giving preference to green development.

【1】What’s the author’s purpose in writing Paragraph 2?

A.To make a detailed list of the economic progress in China.

B.To sing high praise for the efforts the Chinese government made.

C.To show increasing importance of environment over economy.

D.To prove China’s achievements in balancing the economy and the environment.

【2】Which of the following is NOT true?

A.China’s past economic progress has been smooth and healthy.

B.China has won many UN’s highest environmental honors.

C.China has made the protection of the environment a national policy.

D.Increased environmental awareness and investments have brought positive effects.

【3】Which of the following does NOT support the idea of the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?

A.More cities report a drop in major air pollutant indicators.

B.Preference ought to be given to developing the economy.

C.China’s environmental protection industry is expected to make profits.

D.China reduced solid waste imports sharply last year.

【4】Which of the following is the structure of the passage? (① to ⑦ represent Paragraphs 1 to 7)

A. B. C. D.

29、   In 2011, Nancy Ballard went for a routine checkup that turned into something extraordinary. In fact, she was carrying a painting of a plant she’d done when she arrived at her doctor’s San Francisco office. “It would be great if we had artwork like that for our chemotherapy (化疗) rooms,” the nurse said. Ballard asked to see one.

She was shocked by what she found. The walls were dull and bare, and the paint had fallen off. It was a room where sad patients are receiving their routine—patients limited themselves to chemo drips (点滴) for perhaps several hours, often with nothing to look at except those sad walls. Ballard didn’t have cancer herself, but she had pity on the patients. “I couldn’t imagine how anyone could even think about getting healthy in a room like that,” she says. As it happens, Ballard’s doctor, Stephen Hufford, was ill with cancer himself, so finding time to decorate the rooms was low on his to-do list. So Ballard made it her mission to brighten the place up.

She started by emailing 20 local designers. “I wrote, ‘You don’t know me. But my heart hurts after seeing these rooms.’” she said. She then asked whether they would donate their time and money to transform just one of Dr. Hufford’s rooms each.

As it happens, six of them wrote back almost immediately. Six rooms got new paint, light fixtures, artwork, and furniture. Dr. Hufford was delighted. “All the patients feel the relief of the pain because of it,” he said. He even noted that his own voice was different in the rooms and that he was better able to connect with his patients.

Ballard was so encouraged by the patients’ reaction that she created a non-profit organization, Rooms That Rock Chemo, to raise money and decorate more spaces. Since then, she has worked on 20 projects, including one in Pennsylvania. “We were in Philadelphia for an opening ceremony, and a woman was there on her third battle with cancer,” says Ballard. “When she saw what we’d done, she said, ‘I’m gonna beat it this time. I thought I wasn’t going to, but now I’m gonna beat it.’”

【1】What made Ballard decide to help decorate the chemotherapy rooms?

A.Her pity for cancer patients.

B.Her passion for room decoration.

C.The good relationship with Hufford.

D.The request of a nurse in San Francisco.

【2】What result does Ballard’s efforts bring about?

A.More hospitals will be built.

B.Hufford cured more patients.

C.The cancer patients were feeling better.

D.Hufford’s chemotherapy rooms got good reputation.

【3】Which words best describe Nancy Ballard?

A.Rich and generous. B.Talented and energetic.

C.Loving and devoted. D.Ambitious and creative.

【4】Which can be a suitable title for the passage?

A.Battle Against Cancer B.Design for Hope

C.Donation for Patients D.Decoration in Hospital
