Question

【題目】Make Albertsville Shine

After a long and snowy winter, spring has finally come to Albertsville. The leaves are out on the trees, and the grass is green again. All around town, people are cleaning up their homes. They are pulling weeds and planting flowers. They are sweeping yards and washing windows. Before long, Albertsville will look as fresh and shiny as a new coin, right?

Definitely not. Just take a look at the streets and sidewalks around town. There is litter( 垃圾 ) everywhere: fast food wrappers, soft drink cans, plastic bags, and more. This litter is dirty and ugly. It takes the shine off our lovely town.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. In many neighboring towns, volunteer groups “adopt(認領(lǐng) )” a mile of a street or road to keep clean. The groups include schools and clubs. Volunteers pick up litter, cut bushes, wash sidewalks, and even plant flowers!

Sure, the volunteers work hard, but they also get to enjoy the beauty of their town. Better yet, they feel proud of themselves for making their town a better place to live.

So what are the people of Albertsville waiting for? Talk to people in your school or club about adopting part of a street or road. Then get to work! If enough volunteer groups get busy, Albertsville really will shine this spring.

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“Just take a look at the streets and sidewalks around town. There is litter( 垃圾 ) everywhere: fast food wrappers, soft drink cans, plastic bags, and more. This litter is dirty and ugly. It takes the shine off our lovely town.”可知，阿爾貝維爾的街道和人行道上滿是快餐包裝紙、飲料罐、塑料袋等垃圾，它們奪走了小城的光彩。由此可知因為路上的垃圾，阿爾貝維爾看起來不那么干凈和光亮。故B項正確。

【2】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“Volunteers pick up litter, cut bushes, wash sidewalks, and even plant flowers!”可知，志愿者撿拾垃圾、修剪灌木叢，清洗人行道、甚至還會種花，而沒有提到籌集資金，故C項正確。

【3】
