问题     We only have one earth, so we need to take care of her. That’s what Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin believed. He was disturbed by that an issue as【B1】______as our environment was not addressed in politics or by the media, so he created the first Earth Day, on April 22, 1970. An【B2】______20 million people nationwide attended festivities that day. It was a truly【B3】______grassroots explosion, leading【B4】______to national legislation such as the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act. Why did Earth Day【B5】______so much support? For many people who【B6】______for the environment, Earth Day became the first opportunity they had to join in a nationwide demonstration to send a big message to public officials - a message to tell them to protect our【B7】______Both Arbor Day and Bird Day(established in the late 1800s)supported【B8】______conservation, and the appreciation of nature, but on a smaller scale than Earth Day. While all three of these days helped educate the general public, some Americans already had a deep appreciation of nature.

[M]astonishing[N]enjoying[O]estimated
【B3】

选项

答案M

解析 空前副词和空后名词提示所填词应为形容词。主语it指代前句所说的两千万人参加了第一个地球节这一事件,空后名词grassroots explosion(民间大爆炸)说明参加地球节的人数之多。由此可以判断所填形容词应能突出表达“人数多”这一情况,备选形容词中只有[M]astonishing(令人吃惊的)符合要求,故为答案。本句运用了比喻的修辞手法,而[I]recognized(公认的,经过证实的)通常用来形容某种大家都承认的事实,显然用在这里是不合适的。
