On April 22,2011,we decided to go green every single day for an entire year.This meant doing 365 different green things,and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond the easy things.Rather than recycle and reduce our energy,we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task. -*- A B With the idea of going green every single day for a year,Our Green Year started.My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment.We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps. Over the course of Our Green Year,we completely changed our lifestyles.We now shop at organic(有机的)stores.We consume less meat,choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don’t need.We have given away half of what we owned through websites.Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice,with no chemical cleaners.We make our own butter,enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread.In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.  -*- A B Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year.We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others.We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet. -*- A B 1.What might be the best title for the passage?

C.Some people disagree with the couple’s green ideas. D.Our Green Year is becoming a national campaign. -*- A B 1.We consume less meat,choosing green food.我们消耗较少的肉,选择绿色食物。 点拨:choosing green food是动词-ing形式短语。在句中做状语,表示伴随的状况。动词-ing形式做状语属于书面表达中较为高级的表达,应注意学习与使用。 2.In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.在我们的家庭公司里,任何人如果被发现做了不环保的事,都可能受到惩罚。 点拨:caught doing something ungreen为过去分词短语,在此充当anyone的定语。catch sb.doing sth.为固定短语,表示“抓到某人做某事”。 -*- A B B 语篇导读:这是一篇议论文。主要讲述了人类活动对水资源的影响以及如何节约用水。 Using too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger,but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways.You may wonder how paving(铺砌) a road can lead to less usable fresh water.A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater.Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers.It comes from underground.The more roads and parking lots we pave,the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.  -*- A B Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages(短缺).Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts(干旱) than areas with more rainfall,but in any case,good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs. Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference,too.In the United States,a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day!This shows how much we depend on water to live,but there’s a lot we can do to lower the number.  -*- A B You can take steps to save water in your home.To start with,use the same glass for your drinking water all day.Wash it only once a day.Run your dishwasher (洗碗机) only when it is full.Help your parents fix any leaks in your home.You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away.  -*- A B 1.Which of the following is most likely to lead to less groundwater? A.Using river water. B.Throwing batteries away. C.Paving parking lots. D.Throwing rubbish into lakes.

　　答案 解析 解析 关闭 主旨大意题。第一段的第一句就是主题所在:使用太多的水或者把垃圾扔到河里是人类可能让水供给处于危险的明显方式,但我们也以不明显的方式影响着我们的水供给。后面的篇幅主要围绕人类如何影响水资源展开的。故选D项。

　　答案 解析 关闭 D

　　-*- A B 1.Using too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger,but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways.使用太多的水或者把垃圾扔到河里是人类可能让水供给处于危险的明显方式,但我们也以不明显的方式影响着我们的水供给。 点拨:put...in danger意为“使……处于危险之中”。 -*- A B 2.The more roads and parking lots we pave,the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.我们铺砌的道路和停车场越多,能流入地面而成为地下水的水就越少。 点拨:“the+比较级,the+比较级”表示“越……,就越……”。 3.Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference,too.考虑我们每天用水的方式也能产生很大的影响。 点拨:句中thinking about the way为动词-ing形式做句子的主语,而we use water every day为the way的定语。make a big difference意为“产生很大的影响”。 -*- A B 4.You can take steps to save water in your home.你可以在家采取措施来节约用水。 点拨:take steps意为“采取措施”,也可用take action或take measures来表示,to save water为动词不定式做目的状语。take steps to do sth.是写环保类话题作文时常用的结构。 -*- 假如你是李华。最近,为了保护环境,你校学生会组织开展了“构建低碳校园”活动。你的美国朋友David知道这一情况后很感兴趣,发邮件向你了解具体情况。请你根据以下提示给他回一封电子邮件: 1.日常出行时如何减少碳排放; 2.在餐厅就餐时如何节约粮食; 3.在寝室和教室如何节约水、电等。 注意:1.词数100左右; 2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。 -*- Dear David, In your last email,you showed great interest in “Building a low-carbon campus”,which aims at protecting the environment.Now I’ll tell you something about it in detail. First of all,we advocate walking or riding bikes instead of driving a car.Secondly,we consume less meat,choosing green food.In the school canteen,anyone caught not eating up what is bought will be punished.Thirdly,we should not leave the lights on in the daytime and leave water running after washing. -*- In a word,building a low-carbon campus is not an easy thing.We are sparing no effort to do every little thing to achieve the goal,though. Yours, Li Hua
