(2014·内蒙古包头市高三测试)
Hello! I'm Jan from Mrs. Lake's class. My class wants to work together to help the public. We think we have found a great way to do this. Last month we did a class project on the highways near our town. We learned about the AdoptaHighway Program. This program brings people together to pick up litter along the roads. We think it would be a great idea for all students in our school to join the program and adopt a highway.
Adopting a highway is not like adopting a pet. When a highway is adopted, only part of the highway is cared for by a group of people. The group agrees to work every week to keep its part of the highway clean. Each group gets its own sign that has the name of the group printed on it. The sign is put up at the side of the road. This sign lets drivers know who is keeping that area of the road clean.
The AdoptaHighway Program is a great way for people to help their environment look nicer. Also, the government does not have to send out as many road workers. This saves money. Finally, people may try harder to keep roads clean if they see people, especially teenagers like us, cleaning them up.
We will need helpers to care for our adopted highway. If you want to feel great and keep our roads clean, please come with your parents to the meeting next week. We will meet in Mrs. Lake's room on Wednesday at 6：00 P.M. At the meeting, we will talk about which roads are the dirtiest as a result of people's unkind acts. Then we'll try to pick an area to adopt and clean up.
I look forward to seeing you at the meeting. Remember to keep our roads clean!

答案：
【语篇解读】 本文属于说明文。你可能听过领养孩子、宠物。但你听过“领养”公路吗?本文介绍了一群青少年为保护公路环境，专门“领养”一段公路，去清理公路上的垃圾。
4.C 解析：细节理解题。难度较小。根据第一段中“This program brings people together to pick up litter along the roads.”可知，“领养公路”组织的主要任务就是组织人们清理公路上的垃圾。故选C。
5.D 解析：细节理解题。难度较小。根据倒数第二段可知，想加入组织的青少年应先和家长一起参加下周三在Mrs.Lake家举行的会议，会上将确定需要清理的路段，然后各组选择一段开始清理。故选D。
6.A 解析：写作意图题。难度中等。根据全文内容可推断出，本文主要的目的是号召更多的人加入到“领养公路”的活动中来。故选A。
7.B 解析：标题概括题。难度中等。通读全文可知，本文介绍了一项青少年参与的环保活动“AdoptaHighway”。因此B项做题目最合适。A项与文章无关;C项范围过大;D项偏离主题。
