It could be hard to find hope there. It took decades for public perception of the river to shift. But activist citizens, who collaborated with industry, government, and environment groups never gave up on their polluted river—the Buffalo River gradually went from being considered a lost cause to a place worth fighting for. And by now the cleaned—up water is one of Buffalo39。S biggest attractions. By the 1960s, the river was seen as one of the worst sources of pollution pouring into the Great Lakes. The Buffalo River had caught fire many times. The surface had an oily layer, and any fish caught there were not eatable. The waterway39。s fate started shifting in the mid1960s. Stanley Spisiak was a local Polish—American jeweler by day, but by evening he was the kind of guy who39。d chase down dumpers(垃圾車)he spotted on the Buffalo River. By 1966 he found himself winning the National Wildlife Federation39。s Water Conservationist of the Year award. And before long he got a nickname: Mr. Buffalo River. But there was only so much he could do—the river was still declared biologically dead in 1969. Jill Spisiak Jedlicka is his greatgrandniece. She picks up where he left off by directing the river39。s protector organization, Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper. Professor Schneekloth and seven friends founded the organization as an allvolunteer nonprofit in 1989, after organizing the first river cleanup that year. Today the group employs 27 fulltime workers and has helped oversee the Buffalo River39。s $100 million restoration. So far, the Buffalo River39。s water quality has restored, but it is still an ongoing issue, as sewage(污水)can overflow into the river after storms. Habitat restoration continues as well。 fish and plantings are still being sampled to measure how well it39。s gone. （1）What did the Buffalo River use to be?

And before long he got a nickname: ‘Mr. Buffalo River.’可知，Mr. Spisiak被稱為“ River”是因?yàn)樗贿z余力地保護(hù)這條河。故選C。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“It took decades for public perception of the river to shift.”公眾對這條河的看法改變花了幾十年的時間；第二段中的“By the 1960s，the river was seen as one of the worst sources of pollution pouring into the Great Lakes.”到了20世紀(jì)60年代，這條河被認(rèn)為是五大湖最嚴(yán)重的污染源之一。；以及最后一段中的“So far，the Buffalo River39。s water quality has restored，”到目前為止，布法羅河的水質(zhì)已經(jīng)恢復(fù)”可知，這條河花了多半個世紀(jì)才恢復(fù)。故選A。 （4）考查主旨大意。第一段和第二段說明了the Buffalo River嚴(yán)重受污染的情況，第三、四段介紹了為改變污染狀況所做的努力，以及最后一段中的“So far，the Buffalo River39。s water quality has restored，but it is still an ongoing issue，as sewage(污水)can overflow into the river after storms. Habitat restoration continues as well；fish and plantings are still being sampled to measure how well it39。s gone.”是其現(xiàn)狀。綜上可知，本文講述的是被污染的the Buffalo River的恢復(fù)。故選A。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇環(huán)保類閱讀，要求考生準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，同時根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，概括歸納，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 ESports, short for electronic sports, is one of the growing industries in the world, with prizes totaling around $25 million up for grabs in some tournaments. ESports are professional multiplayer video game petitions. Any video game with a strong petitive element is considered eSports. The petition models itself after traditional professional sports in several ways: it uses corresponding tournament formats, involves player contracts, and is governed by regulations. The athletes who pete in eSports petitions are gamers． The history of eSports dates back to 1972 when some Stanford University students peted in the Intergalactic Space War Olympics for the opportunity to win a oneyear subscription to the Rolling Stone Magazine. ESports pretty much continued on the rather quiet path until the 80s when petitions like the Space Invaders Championship shot them to the spotlight. 2002 marked the beginning of a new era for the sport and laid the foundation for what eSports would bee thanks to the release of the
