　　二、七选五阅读

　　Carbon Footprint

　　While making visits to national parks or forest preserves, you'll often be told to leave nothing but footprints.

　　1

　　One is your physical footprint.

　　The other is what is known as your carbon footprint.

　　2

　　Often people consider their carbon footprint to be the result of their immediate use of fossil fuels and energy usage, like cooking with natural gas or using petrol to run their automobile.

　　3

　　This may include the fossil fuel used to transport the food that you buy at your local grocery store, or the energy used to deal with the waste produced in your household.

　　Taking small steps to reduce your carbon footprint and saving energy is actually fairly simple.

　　4

　　It requires the burning of fossil fuels to make the bottle, transport it and get rid of it if it's not recycled.

　　Compared with it, in­house filtration(过滤) systems can reduce your influence and cost for water.

　　Unplugging appliances that are not frequently in use is another way to reduce your carbon footprint. Most of these items have a standby mode(待机模式) that wastes energy even when they're not in use.

　　5

　　What is more, new energy efficient light bulbs, filters, and appliances could also help reduce your carbon footprint.

　　In a word, less energy used means less greenhouse gas produced. With easy steps, you are on your way to reducing the size of the carbon footprint left behind.

　　A. Cutting off power is the best way to ensure that unnecessary energy is not lost.

　　B. For instance, the use of bottled water leaves a rather significant carbon footprint.

　　C. What fossil fuels may lead to carbon footprints?

　　D. However, wherever we go, we actually leave two sets of footprints.

　　E. We often forget footprints sometimes consequently do harm to the environment.

　　F. However, your carbon footprint consists of many activities that can be far less obvious.

　　G. That refers to the level of greenhouse gases your lifestyle and activity produce and send out.

　　答案　1.D　2.G　3.F　4.B　5.A

　　三、语法填空

　　Jack: Hello, Julie. Where are you going?

　　Julie: To the cinema.

　　How

　　1

　　coming with me?

　　Jack: I'd love

　　2

　　.

　　But I haven't finished my work yet.

　　Julie: What a

　　3

　　！ I believe it's a very good film.

　　Jack: Do you go to the cinema a lot?

　　Julie: Once a month.

　　Most nights I stay at home

　　4

　　(surf) the Internet.

　　Jack: Sounds

　　5

　　(relax). By the way,

　　6

　　are you going for your holiday this year?

　　Julie: I haven't decided yet.

　　My husband is going to his mother's for a couple of weeks.

　　She

　　7

　　(live) in the countryside, you know.

　　Jack: Oh, does she? It

　　8

　　be a quiet place.

　　Julie: Yes,

　　9

　　I want to go to the seaside.

　　Jack: Don't you like the country?

　　Julie: Yes, very much. But I want to get a suntan and go

　　10

　　(swim) in the sea this holiday. What are you going to do?

　　Jack: I'm staying at home.

　　Julie: Aren't you going to have a holiday abroad this time?

　　Jack: No, I want to buy a car, and that's going to take every penny I've got.

　　答案与解析　

　　1．about　通过语境可知，此处是提出建议，询问对方“和我一起去怎么样”，所以用about。

　　2．to　此处动词不定式符号to后面省略了go to the cinema。

　　3．pity　根据前面的对话可知，Jack不能去看电影，所以表示遗憾，用pity。

　　4．surfing　此处用v­ing作伴随状语。

　　5．relaxing　这是一个省略句，句子的主语是it，要用v­ing形式的形容词来修饰，relaxing意为“令人放松的”。

　　6．where　从下文可知，是问去哪儿，所以用where。

　　7．lives　此处陈述客观情况，应用动词的一般现在时态。

　　8．must　根据语境可知，那一定是一个很安静的地方。情态动词must意为“一定，必须”，符合语境。

　　9．but　根据语境可知，虽然说话者认为那是个安静的地方但却更愿意去海边，表示语意的转折应用but。

　　10．swimming　go swimming意为“游泳”，是固定用法。

　　四、短文改错

　　Dear David，

　　I have been expected to travel to the UK. Thus, I can experience the English Culture personal. I'm writing to ask for some advices. My family plan to travel there during a coming winter vacation. We were to spend a week in London, where is a large city, and this is the first time for us to travel abroad. I want to know what places of interest there are worthwhile seeing. Can you offer to me some suggestions and recommend some attractions? I would appreciate if you could reply to me soon. I'm also looking forward to see you in London.

　　Yours，

　　Li Hua

　　五、书面表达

　　有统计资料显示，今年春节期间，全国发送短信170亿条。有关短信拜年用“原创”还是“克隆(群发)”的争论很多。一种观点怀疑“克隆(群发)短信”拜年的真诚度，另一种观点则与之相反，认为不管短信是否是原创，祝福也一样真诚。请结合这一现象，用英语写一篇100～120词的短文，发表你的看法。

　　注：短信text message　克隆的cloned

　　范文　

　　Statistics show Chinese sent 17 billion text messages during the Spring Festival. People hold different views about exchanging greetings by text message. Some think it's better to use original text messages instead of “cloned ones”.

　　In my opinion, it doesn't matter much whether text messages are original or not.

　　It's acceptable to deliver the same message to a group of people. To mark the Year of Horse in 2017, plenty of messages were witty remarks using “ma”， or horse in Chinese, as a homophone to tease recipients for fun or to convey humorous greetings. Actually, text messages are just kind signals to bless you. If one cares too much about the originality of text messages, he misunderstands the motive of others. After all, it is truly heartfelt greetings not where the greetings are from that really count.
