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 （繁荣）and environmental burden, China put environmental protection as a basic national policy and the sustainable （可持续的）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 （资产）‎ 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 （污染 指数）.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 （收益）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.‎ ‎24. 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.‎ ‎25. 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.‎ ‎26. 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.‎ ‎27. Which of the following is the structure of the passage? ‎ ‎（① to ⑦ represent Paragraphs 1 to 7）‎ C Raised by grandparents, Nikki was 17 years old when she secretly went to the University of Kentucky under cover of darkness. It was 2009, and the advice of her late grandmother Sue echoed in her head as she drove: Leave. Go to college. And do not let anybody from the bigger, wider world think they're better than you.‎ Sue died when Nikki was 9. The opioid （鸦片）addiction had already broken out in eastern Kentucky by then. And in Nikki's mind the drug problem turned into a drug crisis （危机）shortly after Sue5s death, when her family went from sleeping with the screen door unlocked to buying new doors — without glasses, which could be broken by thieves. Around that time, Nikki went to ‎ a birthday party, only to find her friend's mother passed out on the toilet, surrounded by vomit（(呕 吐物）and pill bottles.‎ In high school, her teacher asked her classmates what they wanted to be in future. Nikki knew by then that both her safety and her economic fortunes lay far from her hometown. But her grandfather, Curt, wanted her to stay home, thinking Nikki should become a nurse, and that the community college would be enough.‎ The night she ran away, Nikki stopped halfway because she was shaking too hard to drive. She'd been planning the move her entire senior year, secretly applying for scholarships and saving $800 by working at a comic-book store. But she hadn't ever set foot on a university, and she worried about her grandfather, who had never lived alone. She'd waited for him to fall asleep, and when she imagined him waking to an empty house the next morning, her shaking turned to loud cry. Nikki cried so hard that she vomited. Then she wiped herself off and drove directly to college.‎ A decade later, Nikki, now 28，, has become one of the leading voices on the opioid crisis in rural America — where, about 20 years later, treatment remains scarce even as deaths caused by overuse of opioid increase. In many rural places, neighbors turn on one another rather than placing the blame on the pharmaceutical (制药的)companies creating such serious situations.‎ The crisis has killed over 800,000 Americans, but the government hasn't provided effective solutions, let alone a level of funding that could stop the crisis. However, Nikki has figured out a way to offer treatment to people in need. While the program she's developed is still small and new, its results are promising, and it appears to be copied in other states. Her aim is to help people with opioid addiction, rather than just locking them up.‎ ‎28. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?‎ A. The sudden death of Sue.‎ B. The terrible situation of the opioid crisis.‎ C. The danger caused by thieves.‎ D. The symptoms of the opioid addiction.‎ ‎29. What possibly contributed to Nikki's further study in the university?‎ A. Her friend's mom's passing out.‎ B. Her experience in a comic-book store.‎ C. Her grandma's thoughtful encouragement.‎ D. Her decision to make economic fortunes.‎ ‎30. Which of the following can describe Nikki's characteristics according to Paragraph 4?‎ A. Kind and strong-willed. B. Sensitive and weak.‎ C. Selfish but optimistic. D. Diligent but cruel.‎ ‎31. The underlined phrase "turn on" in Paragraph 5 most probably means .‎ A. assist B. trust C. attack D. dismiss ‎32. Why is the government's failure to provide effective solutions mentioned?‎ A. To indicate the difficulties to treat the addiction.‎ B. To stress Nikki's unusual achievements.‎ C. To support the practice of locking up addicted people.‎ D. To blame the government for killing 800,000 Americans.‎ 第二节(共5小题；每题2.5分，满分12.5分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。‎ It's common that you dine out with background music filling the restaurant.
