Question

You can be proud of yourselves, even if you can only make one or two of these green changes. The goal here is to limit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, which are closely connected to the big problem of global-warming (全球變暖).

WAY 1: Bring your own cup to Starbucks. You’ll get a 10-cent discount, and it’s one less paper cup to end up in a dustbin. The store won’t create more waste when they throw away a cup.

WAY 2: Turn off your computer. When in standby mode, your PC is still using energy. Turning off a monitor (顯示器) for 40 hours a week may only save $ 5 a month, but it reduces CO2 by 750 pounds.

WAY 3: Reuse plastic bags. Instead of throwing away 100 billion plastic bags a year, try and get a second, third, or tenth use out of them. Better yet, next time you shop, try a reusable bag. The amount of oil it would take to make just 14 plastic bags would run your car for one mile.

WAY 4: Use recycled paper in the bathroom. Most of the toilet paper we use is made from trees found in forests. If every family replaced(替換)one roll of toilet paper with a recycled one, 424,000 trees would still be standing.

WAY 5: Plant a tree. Adding green to your garden is beautiful and earth-pleasing. Just one tree will help make cleaner air and save the environment from 5, 000 pounds of hot carbon dioxide each year.

試題分析：這篇短文主要介紹怎樣做可以阻止全球變暖。每個(gè)人出一點(diǎn)微薄的力量，為了我們擁有更美好的明天。我們可以在去咖啡店喝咖啡時(shí)自己帶杯子，減少電腦的使用，回收利用塑料袋等等。

1.通篇預(yù)覽題。通篇預(yù)覽文章，可以看到作者提出了五條保護(hù)環(huán)境的方法。故選D。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句話(huà)Turning off a monitor (顯示器) for 40 hours a week may only save $ 5 a month, but it reduces CO2 by 750 pounds.“一周關(guān)掉顯示器40小時(shí)每個(gè)月只節(jié)省了5美元，但是卻減少了750磅一氧化碳的排放。”可知本題選B，可以幫助減少大量一氧化碳的排放。

3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三條WAY 3: Reuse plastic bags.“回收利用塑料袋。”和第四條WAY 4: Use recycled paper in the bathroom.“在浴室里使用回收紙。”可知本題選A。

4.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章第一段最后一句話(huà)The goal here is to limit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, which are closely connected to the big problem of global-warming“這的目的是減少一氧化碳和溫室氣體，這些能引起全球變暖的東西。”可知這五個(gè)方式是預(yù)防全球變暖、減少溫室氣體。故選C。

5.標(biāo)題歸納題。本文主要講述怎樣預(yù)防全球變暖，介紹了五種方法。因此本題選C，怎樣阻止全球變暖。
