This is now a question for Gloria Mackenzie, an 84-year-old widow who recently emerged from her small, tin-roofed house in Florida to collect the biggest undivided lottery jackpot in history. If she hopes her new-found for tune will yield lasting feelings of fulfillment, she could do worse than read Happy Money by Elizabeth Dumn and Michael Norton.These two academics use an array of behavioral research to show that the most rewarding ways to spend money can be counterintuitive. Fantasies of great wealth often involve visions of fancy cars and extravagant homes. Yet satisfaction with these material purchases wears off fairly quickly what was once exciting and new becomes old-hat; regret creeps in. It is far better to spend money on experiences, say Ms Dumn and Mr Norton, like interesting trips, unique meals or even going to the cinema. These purchases often become more valuable with time-as stories or memories-particularly if they involve feeling more connected to others.This slim volume is packed with tips to help wage slaves as well as lottery winners get the most "happiness bang for your buck." It seems most people would be better off if they could shorten their commutes to work, spend more time with friends and family and less of it watching television (something the average American spends a whopping two months a year doing, and is hardly jollier for it).Buying gifts or giving to charity is often more pleasurable than purchasing things for oneself, and luxuries are most enjoyable when they are consumed sparingly. This is apparently the reason MacDonald's restricts the availability of its popular McRib - a marketing trick that has turned the pork sandwich into an object of obsession.Readers of "Happy Money" are clearly a privileged lot, anxious about fulfillment, not hunger. Money may not quite buy happiness, but people in wealthier countries are generally happier than those in poor ones. Yet the link between feeling goodand spending money on others can be seen among rich and poor people around the world, and scarcity enhances the pleasure of most things for most people. Not everyone will agree with the authors' policy ideas, which range from mandating more holiday time to reducing tax incentives for American homebuyers. But most people will come away from this book believing it was money well spent.21. According to Dumn and Norton, which of the following is the most rewarding purchase?[A]A big house [B]A special tour [C]A stylish car [D]A rich meal22. The author's attitude toward Americans' watching TV is________.[A]critical [B]supportive [C]sympathetic [D]ambiguous23. Macrib is mentioned in paragraph 3 to show that_______.[A]consumers are sometimes irrational[B]popularity usually comes after quality[C]marketing tricks are after effective[D]rarity generally increases pleasure24. According to the last paragraph, Happy Money_______.[A]has left much room for readers'criticism[B]may prove to be a worthwhile purchase[C]has predicted a wider income gap in the us[D]may give its readers a sense of achievement25. This text mainly discusses how to______.[A]balance feeling good and spending money[B]spend large sums of money won in lotteries[C]obtain lasting satisfaction from money spent[D]become more reasonable in spending on luxuriesText 2An article in Scientific America has pointed out that empirical research says that, actually, you think you're more beautiful than you are. We have a deep-seated need to feel good about ourselves and we naturally employ a number of self-enhancing strategies to research into what the call the "above average effect", or "illusory superiority", and shown that, for example, 70% of us rate ourselves as above average in leadership, 93% in driving and 85% at getting on well with others-all obviously statistical impossibilities.We rose tint our memories and put ourselves into self-affirming situations. We become defensive when criticized, and apply negative stereotypes to others to boost our own esteem, we stalk around thinking we're hot stuff.Psychologist and behavioral scientist Nicholas Epley oversaw a key studying into self-enhancement and attractiveness. Rather that have people simply rate their beauty compress with others, he asked them to identify an original photogragh of themselves' from a lineup including versions that had been altered to appear more and less attractive. Visual recognition, reads the study, is "an automatic psychological process occurring rapidly and intuitively with little or no apparent conscious deliberation". If the subjects quickly chose a falsely flattering image- which must did- they genuinely believed it was really how they looked. Epley foundno significant gender difference in responses. Nor was there any evidence that, those who self-enhance the must (that is, the participants who thought the most positively doctored picture were real) were doing so to make up for profound insecurities. In fact those who thought that the images higher up the attractiveness scale were real directly corresponded with those who showed other makers for having higher self-esteem. "I don't think the findings that we having have are any evidence of personal delusion", says Epley. "It's a reflection simply of people generally thinking well of themselves'. If you are depressed, you won't be self-enhancing. Knowing the results of Epley 's study,it makes sense that why people heat photographs of themselves Viscerally-on one level, they don't even recognize the person in the picture as themselves, Face book therefore ,is a self-enhancer's paradise, where people can share only the most flattering photos, the cream of their wit ,style ,beauty, intellect and lifestyle it's not that people's profiles are dishonest, says Catalina toma of Wiscon-Madison university ,"but they portray an idealized version of themselves.26. According to the first paragraph, social psychologist have found that ______.[A] our self-ratings are unrealistically high[B] illusory superiority is baseless effect[C] our need for leadership is unnatural[D] self-enhancing strategies are ineffective27. Visual recognition is believed to be people's______.[A] rapid watching[B] conscious choice[C] intuitive response[D] automatic self-defence28. Epley found that people with higher self-esteem tended to______.[A] underestimate their insecurities[B] believe in their attractiveness[C] cover up their depressions[D] oversimplify their illusions29. The word "Viscerally"(Line 2,para.5) is closest in meaning to_____.[A]instinctively[B]occasionally[C]particularly[D]aggressively30. It can be inferred that Facebook is self-enhancer's paradise because people can _____.[A]present their dishonest profiles[B]define their traditional life styles[C]share their intellectual pursuits[D]withhold their unflattering sidesText 3（暂缺）Text 4When the government talks about infrastructure contributing to the economy the focus is usually on roads, railways, broadband and energy. Housing is seldom mentioned.Why is that? To some extent the housing sector must shoulder the blame. We have not been good at communicating the real value that housing can contribute to economic growth. Then there is the scale of the typical housing project. It is hard to shove for attention among multibillion-pound infrastructure project, so it is inevitable that the attention is focused elsewhere. But perhaps the most significant reason is that the issue has always been so politically charged.Nevertheless, the affordable housing situation is desperate. Waiting lists increase all the time and we are simply not building enough new homes.The comprehensive spending review offers an opportunity for the government to help rectify this. It needs to put historical prejudices to one side and take some steps to address our urgent housing need.There are some indications that it is preparing to do just that. The communities minister, Don Foster, has hinted that George Osborne, Chancellor of the Exchequer, may introduce more flexibility to the current cap on the amount that local authorities can borrow against their housing stock debt. Evidence shows that 60,000 extra new homes could be built over the next five years if the cap were lifted, increasing GDP by 0.6%.Ministers should also look at creating greater certainty in the rental environment, which would have a significant impact on the ability of registered providers to fund new developments from revenues.But it is not just down to the government. While these measures would be welcome in the short term, we must face up to the fact that the existing ?4.5bn programme of grants to fund new affordable housing, set to expire in 2015,is unlikely to be extended beyond then. The Labour party has recently announced that it will retain a large part of the coalition's spending plans if returns to power. The housing sector needs to accept that we are very unlikely to ever return to era of large-scale public grants. We need to adjust to this changing climate.36. The author believes that the housing sector__[A] has attracted much attention[B] involves certain political factors[C] shoulders too much responsibility[D] has lost its real value in economy37. It can be learned that affordable housing has__[A] increased its home supply[B] offered spending opportunities[C] suffered government biases[D] disappointed the government38. According to Paragraph 5,George Osborne may_______.[A] allow greater government debt for housing[B] stop local authorities from building homes[C] prepare to reduce housing stock debt[D] release a lifted GDP growth forecast39. It can be inferred that a stable rental environment would_______.[A]lower the costs of registered providers[B]lessen the impact of government interference[C]contribute to funding new developments[D]relieve the ministers of responsibilities40. The author believes that after 2015,the government may______.[A]implement more policies to support housing[B]review the need for large-scale public grants[C]renew the affordable housing grants programme[D]stop generous funding to the housing sectorPartBDirections:Read the following text and answer the questions by finding information from the left column that corresponds to each of the marked details given in the right column.

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEERT 1.(10 points)Uncommon Ground - Land Art in BritainThe term Land Art brings to mind epic interventions in the land such as Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty, 6,500 tons of basalt, earth and salt projecting into Utah's Great Salt Lake, or Roden Crater, an extinct volcano in Arizona, which James Turrell has been transforming into an immense naked-eye observatory since 1979.Richard Long's A Line Made By Walking, however, involved nothing more strenuous than a 20-minute train ride from Waterloo. Having got off somewhere in suburbia, the artist walked backwards and forwards over a piece of grass until the squashed turf formed a line - a kind of drawing on the land.Emerging in the late Sixties and reaching a peak in the Seventies, Land Art was one of a range of new forms, including Body Art, Performance Art, Action Art and Installation Art, which pushed art beyond the traditional confines of the studio and gallery. Rather than portraying landscape, land artists used the physical substance of the land itself as their medium.The message of this survey of British land art - the most comprehensive to date - is that the British variant, typified by Long's piece, was not only more domestically scaled, but a lot quirkier than its American counterpart. Indeed, while you might assume that an exhibition of Land Art would consist only of records of works rather than the works themselves, Long's photograph of his work is the work. Since his "action" is in the past the photograph is its sole embodiment.That might seem rather an obscure point, but it sets the tone for an exhibition that contains a lot of black-and-white photographs and relatively few natural objects.Long is Britain's best-known Land Artist and his Stone Circle, a perfect ring of purplish rocks from Portishead beach laid out on the gallery floor, represents the elegant, rarefied side of the form. The Boyle Family, on the other hand, standfor its dirty, urban aspect. Comprising artists Mark Boyle and Joan Hills and their children, they recreated random sections of the British landscape on gallery walls. Their Olaf Street Study, a square of brick-strewn waste ground, is one of the few works here to embrace the mundanity that characterises most of our experience of the landscape most of the time.Parks feature, particularly in the earlier works, such as John Hilliard's very funny Across the Park, in which a long-haired stroller is variously smiled at by a pretty girl and unwittingly assaulted in a sequence of images that turn out to be different parts of the same photograph.Generally however British land artists preferred to get away from towns, gravitating towards landscapes that are traditionally considered beautiful such as the Lake District or the Wiltshire Downs. While it probably wasn't apparent at the time, much of this work is permeated by a spirit of romantic escapism that the likes of Wordsworth would have readily understood. Derek Jarman's yellow-tinted film Towards Avebury, a collection of long, mostly still shots of the Wiltshire landscape, evokes a tradition of English landscape painting stretching from Samuel Palmer to Paul Nash.In the case of Hamish Fulton, you can't help feeling that the Scottish artist has simply found a way of making his love of walking pay. A typical work, such as Seven Days, consists of a single beautiful black-and-white photograph taken on an epic walk, with the mileage and number of days taken listed beneath. British Land Art as shown in this well selected, but relatively modestly scaled exhibition wasn't about imposing on the landscape, more a kind of landscape-orientated light conceptual art created passing through. It had its origins in the great outdoors, but the results were as gallery-bound as the paintings of Turner and Constable.[A] originates from a long walk that the artist took41. Stone Circle [B] illustrates a kind of landscape-orientated light conceptual art42. Olaf Street Study [C] reminds people of the English landscape painting tradition.43. Across the Park [D] represents the elegance of the British land art44. Towards Avebury [E] depicts the ordinary side of the British land art45. Seven days [F] embodies a romantic escape into the Scottish outdoors[G] contains images from different parts of the same photograph.Section III Translation46.

(15 points)Most people would define optimism as endlessly happy, with a glass that's perpetually half fall. But that's exactly the kind of false deerfulness that positive psychologists wouldn't recommend. "Healthy optimists means being in touch with reality." says Tal Ben-Shahar, a Harvard professor, According to Ben- Shalar, realistic optimists are these who make the best of things that happen, but not those who believe everything happens for the best.Ben-Shalar uses three optimistic exercisers. When he feels down-sag, after giving a bad lecture-he grants himself permission to be human. He reminds himself that mot every lecture can be a Nobel winner; some will be less effective than others. Next is reconstruction, He analyzes the weak lecture, leaning lessons, for the future about what works and what doesn't. Finally, there is perspective, which involves acknowledging that in the ground scheme of life, one lecture really doesn't matter. Section IV WritingPart A47.

2014届各区二模英语试卷阅读理解 (C篇 14套)
2014届各区二模英语试卷阅读理解（C篇14套）Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words:（1）We are now living in the modern city. Most of the energy which we are using for heating lighting, transportation and manufacturing (工业生产) is from fossil fuels (化石燃料). These are carbon-based (碳基燃料) fuels from oils, coal and natural gas. When we burn these fuels we release (释放) heat which p___1____ the energy.There are three major disadvantages to using these fuels. Firstly, they are causing climate problems because of the g___2____ effect. When we burn fossil fuels they produce carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) which causes global warming. Secondly, when we have used up all our coal, oil and natural gas, we will have n___3____ left to burn. Thirdly, they are not very efficient. The internal combustion engine that we use in most cars, trucks and buses, for example, is only about 14% efficient.Scientists are working on an alternative (替代的) fuel—hydrogen (氢). There are a number of advantages to using hydrogen as a fuel. Firstly, because two thirds of the e___4____surface is water and water is made of hydrogen and oxygen (氧). There is an almost unlimited (无限的) supply of hydrogen. Secondly, burning hydrogen does not cause global warming. Thirdly it is much more efficient than carbon-based fuels.Unfortunately there are problems with hydrogen at the present time: there is the problem of separating it from water c___5____, if it is too expensive, we can not afford to use it; and there is the difficulty of storing it. It can be stored under pressure but high pressure tanks are far from sage. It can also be stored as a liquid but only at extremely（非常）low temperatures. It seems likely, therefore, that there will have to be completely new technologies before hydrogen replaces fossil fuels. S___6____ these problems is an urgent matter. Although China, India and Australia have huge quantities（大量）of cheap coal, and there are still l___7____ oil and gas reserves（储备）elsewhere, the e ffects on the planet’s climate will be catastrophic（灾难性的）if they are used.1. p______________2. g________________3. n_____________4. e_____________5. c____________6.

Here are three important jobs behind the scenes.Makeup artist: Making characters look believableThe makeup artist’s work sounds simple. But it’s more than just making the lead actress look beautiful. If the hero gets a cut on his face, the makeup artist creates that cut, and it has to look e____2____ the same tomorrow. And the special makeup for a monster or a space alien can take six hours! Sometimes makeup artists have only fifteen minutes to p____3____ twenty actors for a crowd scene. Their work must always be careful and good, so you don’t notice it when you watch the movie.Special effects coordinator (协调人): Making impossible things look realAfter a movie, people often ask, ―How did they do that?‖In films, people can fly, dinosaurs walk through cities, and spaceships travel to other p____4_____ in outer space. These are all the work of the special effects coordinator. Some special effects, especially in science fiction movies, are made with computers. O___5____ are made by machines, which can make a rainy day or a snowy night at any time of the year. Fires and explosions in movies are all created with special effects.Foley artist: Creating the sounds of the cinemaThink of your favourite scary movie and its sounds – footsteps, loud rain, and creaking doors. All of these are the work of Foley artist. Many sounds can’t be recorded d_____6____ the filming of a movie, so Foley artists p___7____ them in their studios (工作室).

But a lot of my friends did very l 1 work. Some just did enough to pass the exam. Others didn’t do quite enough. Fred Braines was such a student. He spent more time drinking in the T 2 House than working in the library.Once at the end of the term, we had to take an important test in Chinese. The test had 100 questions. Beside each question we had to write ―True‖ or ―False‖. While I was studying in my room, Fred was watching TV. Fred usually worried a lot the night before a test. But on that night he looked very e 3__ . Then he told me of his idea.―It’s very simple. There are 100 questions and I have to get 50 right to pass the test. I will take a coin into the examination room. I haven’t studied a Chinese book for months, so I will toss the coin. In this way, I’m sure I’ll get h 4 of the questions right.‖The next day, Fred came happily into the examination room. As he sat tossing a coin for half an hour, he wrote down his answers. Then he left, half an hour b 5 the rest of us.The next day, Fred met his Chinese teacher at the school gate. ―Oh, good,‖ he said. ―I am sure you have got the r 6 of the test.

(7)The big Town Hall clock was striking midnight when Frank began to cross the bridge. The dark night air was cold and slightly wet, and he could see nobody walking on the street.Frank was anxious to get home and his footsteps rang loudly on the pavement. When he reached the middle of the bridge, he thought he could hear someone coming near b 1 him. He looked back but could see no one. However, the sound continued and Frank began to walk more quickly. Then he slowed down again, feeling ashamed at having acted so foolishly. There was n 2 to fear in a town as quiet as this.Just then, he heard short, quick steps. By the time he reached the other side of the bridge, he could almost feel someone at his heels. He turned round and there stood a man dressed in a large overcoat. A hat was pulled down over his eyes and very l 3 of his face could be seen. Frank said something about the weather, trying to sound friendly and c 4 . The man did not answer but asked rudely where Oakfield House was. Frank pointed to a big house in the distance and the stranger continued his way.Then Frank w 5 why the stranger had wanted to find Oakfield House at such an hour. He knew that the people who lived there were very rich. Almost without realizing what he was, he began following the stranger q 6 . The man didn’t notice him at all. Soon the man was outside the house and Frank saw him look up at the windows. A l 7 was still on and the man waited until it went out. When about half an hour had passed, Frank saw him climb noiselessly over the wall and heard him drop onto the ground at the other side.Now Frank realized what was going to happen.

But can positive thinking really make someone’s life better? Many scientists are s tudying positive thinking.

ActiveThe sports utility vehicle (SUV多用途车辆) was invented in the early 1990s. It quickly became very popular in the United States. There are several r 1 for this. It is larger than most of cars. It can carry lots of people, bicycles, toys, dogs and other things. This makes it popular with families. It also has four doors and a big back door, so getting in or out is e 2 . Since an SUV is taller than most cars, the driver can see above other cars and have a better sight of the road. With a lot more p 3 , an SUV can go faster than most cars. It can also go on very rough roads where other cars cannot go.The SUV is popular with many people, but other people do not like these cars. First, they are larger than most other cars. This means that drivers of other cars may not be able to see the road w 4 . Also, SUVs are very heavy. If an SUV gets into an accident with a small car, the small car may be in s 5 trouble. Another problem with SUVs is that they are very expensive. They are expensive to buy --- about 50 percent more expensive than an average small car. They are also expensive to use, since they use a lot more gasoline (汽油) than smaller cars.There are two ways to solve these problems. One way is to change the way we think about them. Now they are sold as large cars. In the future, maybe they should be sold as trucks. Then people with just a car license could not d 6 them. They would have to get a truck license. These licenses are more expensive and difficult to get, so p 7 fewer people would buy SUVs. The other way to solve SUV problems is to make them differently. Some people think that car companies should make big SUVs smaller and less dangerous. They should also make SUVs with less powerful engines. Then they would not use so much gasoline.1. r_____________2. e_______________3. p______________4. w____________5. s_______________6. d_____________7. p______________Key:1. reasons2. easier/easy3. power4. well5. serious6. drive7. probably/perhapsLibraries give kids a quiet and safe place to read and to learn. For more than 100 years, libraries have played an important role in Americans’ e 1 . But how are these book-filled buildings changing with the times? You may be surprised to find out.Benjamin Franklin famously founded America’s first lending library in 1731. But the public library system got its b 2 development in the American history in the late 1800’s. Businessman Andrew Carnegie donated (捐赠) millions of dollars to help build free public libraries across the country. Between 1886 and 1919, Carnegie’s donations helped build 1,679 new libraries.Carnegie believed in the chances that libraries could o 3 Americans, young and old. He knew that the more libraries there were, the more people would have access（接触的机会）to books, lectures, news and more.Chances are that there is a public library in or near your c 4 . You can easily find one close to your home. After all, the United States has 9,225 public libraries. Today, libraries keep growing. Seven out of ten libraries have free Internet. This opens many doors for people who cannot go online at home,i 5 the opportunity to apply for jobs online.Libraries are also teaching kids about the fun of reading. The new program Read! Build! Play! adds reading into playtime. As kids listen to a book being read aloud, they use Legos (乐高积木) to build images from the story h 6 . Today’s libraries are always looking for creative programs to bring people into the library.Benjamin Franklin once said, ―The doors of wisdom are never s7 .‖ As long as the doors of public libraries are open, what he said is most certainly correct!1. e_____________2. b_______________3. o______________4. c____________5. i_______________6. h_____________7. s______________Key:1. education2.biggest3.offer4. community5. including6.happily7. shutI didn’t think I had a passion (激情).

He loves watching American films on TV. His elder brothers hang out (闲逛)after work in places like the Hard Rock Cafe. Julius‟s brother Paul says, …The music is cool, it‟s not too expensive and it‟s the place where I can meet all my friends.‟Julius is lucky because his parents have enough money to send him to school. Many children in Kenya do not go to school because their parents are too poor to pay for schooling.Kenya, like many countries in East Africa, has a lot of problems. There is very little industry and farmers donot receive high prices for their crops. Half the people in the capital Nairobi live in slums (贫民区) where whole families crowd into a single-roomed hut. In the north of the country the situation is worse. The rains have failed for several years and the people have not enough food.It is a young country. Almost half people are aged under 15. Many people there have been hit hard by AIDS. Because the country is poor, it cannot pay for the expensive medicine that can control AIDS.Julius is worried about his future. …I don‟t know what I will do when I leave school. There are very few jobs for young people.‟He would like to work with computers on the Internet, maybe start up an Internet cafe. However, there are several problems with this.

Four.(C)Automobiles were originally developed in Europe. German engineers Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz built the first successful gasoline engines in 1885. After 1900,however, the United States became a leader in automobile production.The first cars were handmade and very expensive. Only people in rich cities could afford them. The first company to make gasoline cars in the U.S. was the Duryea Motor Wagon Company. Then, in 1901, Ransom E. Olds Began mass-producing his car, the Oldsmobile. In 1913 Henry Ford made great strides in the mass production of cars by using an assembly line in his factory. Mass production meant that each car was less expensive to make. Now car ownership was affordable for the average person. By 1916 there were more than one million cars in the United States.The automobile gave people the freedom to travel anywhere there were passable roads. Families that lived great distance apart could travel by automobile to visit each other. People could visit places they had never seen before.Before the mass production of cars, people lived close to work. Their means of transportation included walking, riding a bicycle, using a horse and carriage, or taking a train. The automobile gave people the ability to live farther away from work. The result was that gradually people moved out of the cities to the less crowded suburbs.The automobile industry created millions of jobs. The jobs were not just in the auto factories, where the cars were assembled. Workers were needed to make auto parts, run gas stations and repair shops, and work at new motels and restaurants that served people who traveled by car. Jobs became available at car rental companies. People were needed to build roads. These jobs and many others still exist because of the automobile.54. The first gasoline cars that were produced were ________.A. very affordableB. very expensiveC. mass-producedD. bought by many people55. The rise of the automobile industry ___________.A. destroyed many jobsB. made travel more difficultC. created many jobsD. had no effect on suburbs56. Cars that were mass-produced __________.A. made people move to the citiesB. were bought by only a few peopleC. made nature enjoying more difficultD. were possible for more people to affordAutomobile57. Before the automobile was mass-produced, people traveled in the following ways exceptA. by airplane.B. on foot.C. by horse and carriage.D. by bicycle.(D)A small city in southwest Britain is banning(禁用) plastic bags to help the environment and cut waste—a step that environmentalists believe is a first for Europe.Shopkeepers in Modbury agreed to stop handing out disposable plastic bags to customers on Saturday. They said paper sacks and cloth carrier bags would be offered instead.Last month, San Francisco became the first U.S. city to ban plastic grocery bags. Internationally, laws to discourage the use of plastic bags have been passed in parts of South Africa and Ireland, where governments either tax （收税）shoppers who use them or fine companies that hand them out. Bangladesh already bans them, and so do at least 30 small Alaskan villages.Modbury, about 225 miles southwest of London, has also declared a bag amnesty(宽限期), allowing local people to hand in plastic bags that are kept at home. They will be sent for traveling.The Modbury ban was the idea of Rebecca Hosking, who saw the effect of bags on sea life while he works in the Pacific as a wildlife camerawoman. She said response(反应) in the town so far had been “really positive”“Modbury is quite an old—fashioned city and a lot of people have wicker baskets to go out shopping anyway,” Hosking told Sky News Television.The Worldwatch Institute, an environmental research agency, states that 100 billion plastic bags are thrown away each year in the United States alone. More than 500 billion are used yearly around the world.58. What does the underlined word “ disposable” in the passage mean?A. acceptableB. throw—awayC. long lastingD. valuable 59. It can be inferred from the passage that _____________.A. most of the people in Modbury continue to use plastic bagsB. most countries in the world have passed laws to ban plastic bagsC. fewer and fewer plastic bags will be used in the worldD. San Francisco is the first city to ban plastic bags in the world60. Which of the following may be the best title of the text?A. British Cities Banning Plastic BagsB. Some Cities Banning Plastic BagsC. Effect of Plastic Bags on Sea AnimalsD. Environmental Protection七、阅读短文还原句子（共8分，每小题2分）阅读短文，根据上下文意思，将方框中的句子还原到短文中适当位置，使其通顺完整，并将其字母代号写在横线上。
