Question

【題目】 Things You Can Do To Help The Environment.

The biggest use of home energy is for cooling and heating. So turn up your air conditioner and turn down the heat, especially at night. Replace regular light bulbs with fluorescent bulbs (熒光燈), which use less energy.
Cars are getting bigger, even 5 meters long. They burn more gas and increase problems with acid rain and air pollution. So try to walk, bicycle, or use public transportation. This can save more gas and reduce pollution.
Each American throws away an average (平均)of 10 kilograms of trash every day. Reduce waste before you buy by thinking it carefully: Do I need it? Is it something I can only use once? Buy products that you can use over and over again.
Showers use a lot of water. In one week, a typical American family uses as much water as a person drinks in 3 years! Buy a special “l(fā)ow-flow” showerhead or take shorter showers. This can cut water use in half.

【解析】

文章大意：文章主要介紹的是你可以做些什么來幫助環(huán)境。比如減少使用電子設(shè)備；騎自行車出行；重復(fù)使用購物袋；節(jié)約用水等。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一個表格第一行“The biggest use of home energy is for cooling and heating”“家用能源的最大用途是制冷和取暖”，故選D。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一個表格第一、二行“So turn up your air conditioner and turn down the heat, especially at night”“所以把你的空調(diào)開大，把暖氣關(guān)小，尤其是在晚上”換句話說，也就是夏天空調(diào)溫度不能太低，冬天暖氣溫度不能太高，故選C。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三個表格第一、二行“Each American throws away an average (平均)of 10 kilograms of trash every day”“每個美國人平均每天扔掉10公斤垃圾”，每天10公斤，每周就是70公斤，故選D。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一個表格倒數(shù)第一、二行“Buy a special “l(fā)ow-flow” showerhead or take shorter showers. This can cut water use in half”“購買一個特殊的“低流量”淋浴頭或采取更短的淋浴。這樣可以減少一半的用水量”，故選C。

【5】推理判斷題。通讀全文可知，文章主要介紹的是你可以做些什么來幫助環(huán)境，最有可能來自一個自然科學(xué)報(bào)道，故選C。
