2013高考英语二轮（文章题）训练（6）及答案
We all know that humans are damaging the environment, but what can we do about it? Some people are trying to do their best to be more environmentally friendly.
Some people suggest recycling paper, tin, plastic and glass in daily life. They use reusable products instead of disposable(一次性的)ones. However, more people are becoming interested in reducing their carbon footprint—the amount of carbon they use up. They try to reduce their carbon emissions(排放) by cycling, using public transport or living green. Recently some undergraduates of Fujian University of Technology built their green living paper buildings.
On May 10, 2011, ten engineering major students in this school made their unique house (a football-like paper building), which took less energy, during a “Low Emission, Green Living” campaign. The campaign, which was initiated by the Architecture Department of Fujian University of Technology, inspires students to use creativity to design and build a green building in the square of the school within 24 hours. Competitors had to live inside their buildings for one night. The competition attracted over two hundred entries（参赛项目）from students, and 22 pieces of work, with the shape of a star, football, and pyramid finally staged in the grounds.
While sitting inside the football-like paper house, the team leader of the competition group smiled and told us that the building had large enough space inside. The amazing house drew much attention and received high praise from students and teachers. He also said the inspiration for the design came from the beauty of motion in a football match. These unique houses appeal to people to build housing projects specifically as environmentally friendly as possible to reduce the carbon emission.
25. What is the text mainly about?
A. The environment is becoming worse and we should protect it.
B. The beauty of football moving made ten students design a football-like house.
