My sister Alice and I have been trying to get people to stop dropping cigarette butts(煙頭)for seven years. One day, we were walking in our hometown and saw hundreds of cigarette butts on the ground. They made the town look so ugly that we decided to start a group to make people dropping butts. We called it “No Butts About It”.

At first, we drew pictures with “The Earth is not your ashtray(煙灰缸)”written on them. We put the pictures around our hometown-in parks, by beaches, and along roads. We wanted to make people understand that dropping butts hurts the environment. Most smokers don’t think that dropping butts hurts the Earth. But it does, and all rubbish does!

Later, we wrote to companies and asked them for money to help us. We used the money to buy ashtrays to give to smokers. We wanted smokers to carry the ashtrays with them so they didn’t have to drop butts.

At the moment, we are trying to get cigarette companies to put an ashtray in each pack of cigarettes. Some companies want to do it. Many people have started to join our group since it began. Today there are 45 other “No Butts About It” groups in America.

Now there even groups in England, Australia, and India! Many newspapers have written about my sister and me over the last seven years. And we have won many prizes for what we do. But we are not interested in prizes. We just want to make the Earth a better and cleaner place for animals, plants and people.

One day, it will be.

(題文)—He’s never seen to eat so much food, ?

, he always eats a little.

A. has he, Yes B. isn’t he, Yes

C. has he, No D. is he, No

D 【解析】 句意:- 他從來沒有被見到過吃這么多的食物,不是嗎?-沒有見到過,他總是吃一點(diǎn)。第一空需要針對(duì)主句做出反義疑問句,原句表達(dá)肯定含義,故反義疑問句使用肯定形式,排除B,原句中的He’s 的完整形式是He is,與seen構(gòu)成了被動(dòng)語態(tài)表示“被看到…”,所以反義疑問句寫is he。答句中說他總是吃得很少,所以他“很少”被看到吃得多的,表達(dá)的是否定意義,用No來回答,故選C。 ...
