Question

B

Our environment isn't as green and beautiful as it should be. There are steeK鋼鐵)monsters blocking out the sun, blowing out dangerous smoke,and letting out poisonous chemicals into rivers,cars producing harmful waste gases,people throwing out waste in a wrong way,and all other kinds of sources that ruin the planet. Facing current environmen?tal problems, people need to do their best to save the earth.

You can see many big garbage dustbins in the streets. They're not there for a show,but for you to drop your waste. We should realize that what we do does count. So next time you get that urge to throw gum or a chocolate package out of the car window,or "accidentally" drop as you walk down the street,ask yourself how much waste you've been contributing to the environment with that bad habit going on for years.

At home,the first thing we can do to protect the environment is to avoid letting water run continuously and make sure that taps(水龍頭)are not leaky (泄漏的)， which would help greatly in scrimping. Another is to use energy-saving lights,and turn them off before you leave the rooms. It not only saves energy, but also cuts down electricity costs.

Recycling is a method to make items reusable. Many things you want to throw out can be made into new products through the reproducing process. Use your imag?ination to come up with ways on things that you can use again.

Pass on the message of simple ways to save the environment to kids. Starting with kids is a good way of teaching the message early in their lives,in the hope that they can carry it forward as they grow older.

With environmental protection awareness(意識)in mind, we can do what we can,for the results are to have a big effect on the planet. As long as we do our part, the world is one small step closer to being saved.

Answer 1

B

  [文章大意]文章通過列舉目前的環境現狀及保護環境的具體做法，呼吁大家保護環境，搔救我們賴以生存的地球。

5. A 推理判斷題。從第一段中的"…blocking out the sun, blowing out dangerous smoke, and letting out poisonous chemicals into rivers -" "可推出，steel monsters指的是大型化工廠，故選A。

6. B 細節理解題。從第五段中的"Pass on the message of sim?ple ways to save the environment to kids. Starting with kids is a good way of teaching the message early in their lives..."可知保護環境應該從孩子抓起。

7. D推理判斷題。D項說"你對環境的壞習慣對環境保護是有價值的貢獻"，顯然這是錯誤的。
