精编优选练(十八)　阅读理解——主旨大意题2(限时：25分钟) A While still a young child, Morales Casanova saw neighborhood children harm local trees and even their own pets. So she formed a group called Humanity United to Nature in Harmony for Beauty, Welfare, and Goodness to address the problem. Through small group meetings, she taught friends to grow plants and care for pets, inspiring a new respect for nature. A few years later, at age 13, she sent the president a proposal (提议) for creating a protected area to train children about environmental issues. He awarded her the National Youth Award for Environmental Protection. That backing helped her group to expand its grassroots youth conservation projects through her home state. In 2007 the state capital donated land that let her realize a long-held dream of opening an environmental education park. Opened in 2013, Ceiba Pentandra Park provides a free, interactive (互动的) learning experience for children and teachers on topics ranging from climate change to wildlife protection and the effects of pollution. The parks unusual aspect is its teachers：other children. “I think children have great potential to be leaders，”Morales Casanova says. Park students who show leadership ability are trained to be educators. They learn to speak in front of groups, plan activities, and do fundraising for projects that they design and manage themselves. “When kids see other kids making a real difference, it gives them confidence that they can do it，too，” Morales Casanova says.The children we work with are growing up with new values... They are already taking action to change not only their own lifestyles, but also the minds of families and teachers.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了Morales Casanova在推动环保事业方面所做出的贡献。她认为对孩子们进行环保教育是解决环境问题的一个非常有效的方法，她曾就此给总统提议，并得到了认可。 1．Which can best replace the underlined word “backing”in Paragraph 3?
