1. D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由題目中的關(guān)鍵詞NOT the UN's aim to hold World Environment Day ,可回原文定位于第一段。根據(jù)第一段第二、三句"It is... stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and gets political attention and action. World Environment Day improves ways to improve the earth's environment..."可知,聯(lián)合國建立世界環(huán)境曰的目的是激發(fā)環(huán)境意識、獲得政治關(guān)注和行動、改善地球的環(huán)境,而不是"給人們一個公共假期"。

2. A詞義猜測題。由題目中的關(guān)鍵詞established,可回原文定位于Background部分。根據(jù)"World Environment Day was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1972."可知,世界環(huán)境日是1972年由United Nations General Assembly建立的,因此established的意思是"建立",相當(dāng)于set up。

3. B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由題目中的關(guān)鍵詞NOT be used to improve campaigns ,可回原文定位于Symbols部分。根據(jù)"Images of the earth's natural features,such as snowy mountains,clean beaches and unpolluted rivers are used to improve campaigns supporting the day."可知,被污染的湖不可以用來支持世界環(huán)境日。

4. D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Symbols部分的"The main colours for this event are natural colours."可知,世界環(huán)境日的主要顏色是自然的顏色。根據(jù)Public life部分的"...public life is not affected"可知,世界環(huán)境日不會影響人們的生活,排除根據(jù)第一段第一句"World Environment Day is held each year on June 5. "可知,世界環(huán)境日在每年的六月五日,而不是七月五日,排除B;根據(jù)What do people do?部分的"Activities include concerts,tree planting,and cleanup campaigns."可知,世界環(huán)境日有很多活動,而不是沒有很多活動,排除C。

5. C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由題目中的關(guān)鍵詞World Environment Day in 2015.可回原文定位于表格中的Fri. Jun 5 2015 World Environment Day。2015年的世界環(huán)境日在星期五。
