B、The US has passed laws to celebrate Earth Day.
C、The US and the UN celebrate Earth Day on the same day.
D、The UN Secretary-General attends annual Earth Day celebration in person.
答案
A
解析
根据第一段第三、四句“People all over the world…Most people celebrate Earth Day on April 22
nd
each year. ”可推知,全世界每年都会庆祝世界地球日,所以A项正确。根据第二段最后一句“…helped influence the government of the United States to create stronger laws to protect the environment. ”可知,世界地球日的成功帮助影响了美国政府创立更有力的保护环境的法律,但文中并没有说美国通过了庆祝世界地球日的法律,所以B项错误;根据第二段第二句“Earth Day was first celebrated in the United States on April 22
nd
, 1970. ”和最后一段最后一句“The United Nations Earth Day ceremony continues each year on the day of the vernal equinox…”可知,美国在1970年4月22日首次庆祝了世界地球日,而联合国每年在春分日庆祝世界地球日,文中并未提及二者是在同一天庆祝的,所以C项错误;文中并未提及D项。故选A。
