Earth Angels
1 Joying Brescia was 8 years old when she noticed that cigarette butts（烟头）were littering her hometown beach in Isle of Palms,South Carolina.When she learned that it takes five years for the remains of a cigarette to disintegrate（解体）,she decided to take action.Joying launched a“No Butts on the Beach"campaign.She raised money and awareness about the need to keep the beaches clean.With the help of others,Joying also bought or received donations of gallon-size plastic ice-cream buckets.The buckets were filled with sand,and placed at all public-access areas of the beach.The buckets allowed people to dispose of their cigarettes before hitting the beach.Two years later,Joying says the buckets are full and the beach is nearly free of cigarette debris（残片）.
2 People who live in or visit Steamboat Springs,Colorado,have Carter Dunham to thank for a new state wildlife refuge that preserves 20 acres of marshland and many species of wildlife.Carter and other students wrote a management plan for the area around the Yampa River.The plan was part of a class project when Carter was a freshman at Steamboat Springs High School.Working with the Colorado Division of Wildlife,Carter and his classmates mapped the area and species of animals living there.They also made decisions about,among other things,where fences and parking areas should be built.
3 Barbara Brown and her friends collect oil.It started as a project for their 4H Club after one of the girls noticed her father using motor oil to kill weeds on their farm in Victoria,Texas.They did some research and discovered that oil can contaminate ground water-a real danger in rural areas,where people live off the water on their land.The girls researched ways to recycle oil and worked with a local oil-recycling company on the issue.Now,the"Don't Be Crude"program runs oil-collection sites-tanks that hold up to 460 gallons-where people in the community can dispose of their oil.
4 Five years ago,11-year-old Ryan Hreljac was a little boy with a big dream for all the people in Africa to have clean drinking water.His dream began in the first grade when he learned that people were dying because they didn't have clean water,and that as little as $70 could build a well."We really take water for granted," says Ryan,of Kemptville,Ontario,in Canada."In other countries,you have to plan for it."Ryan earned the first$70 by doing extra chores（零工）, but with the help of others,he has since raised hundreds of thousands of dollars.His efforts led to the start of the Ryan's Well Foundation,which raises money for clean water and health-related services for people in African countries and developing countries.

答案B
解析第一段主要以Joying发起的在沙滩上禁止丢烟头的运动为例，提倡人们不要乱丢垃圾。
第二段第一句表明，Steamboat Springs的居民和游客要对Carter对建立野生动物避难所所作的贡献心存感激，然后紧接着谈了Carter在保护野生动物方面的具体贡献。由此可知，第二段主要提倡保护野生动物。
第三段第一句是主题句，表明Barbara与朋友们收集废油。又由第三段最后一句可知，收集废油的项目被称为“Don't Be Crude"，所以选择E项。
根据第四段第一句和最后一句可知，Ryan Hreljac的梦想是让非洲人喝上洁净的水，他的努力使得Ryan ' s Well Foundation开始建立，为给非洲国家和发展中国家的人们提供洁净水和健康服务等筹集基金。由此可知，本段主要讲的是提供洁净水。
根据第一段倒数第二句可知，设置这些塑料冰淇淋桶是为了收集烟头。
根据第二段第一句“…preserves 20 acres of marshland and many species of wildlife.”可知，人们之所以感激Carter Dunham，是因为他建立的野生生物避难所能够保护湿地和野生物种。wetland是marshland的同义转换，而animals是species of wildlife的同义转换。
根据第三段第四句可知，女孩们研究再利用废油的方法。由此可知，废油与其他物质能用来制造新材料，故选A项。
根据第四段第一句及最后一句可知，Ryan的梦想是让非洲国家的人喝上洁净的饮用水。
