【解析】

本文是篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者一家这周如何拯救地球保护环境，如节约用电、回收再利用、节约用水和绿色出行等。

1.句意：我们离开房间时从不让灯开着。

考查副词。on表示持续性；out外出；off离开；in在里面。根据第二段第一句“First, my family tried to save electricity.”我的家人在试图节约用电，可知我们离开房间时应该会关灯，不会让灯一直开着。让灯开着leave...on。故选A。

2.句意：我们试着在纸的每一面都写字，而不是只写一面。

考查形容词。both两个，后接名词复数；all所有的，后接名词复数；every每个，后接名词单数；each每个，后接名词单数。此空后的side为名词单数，排除A、B；each用作形容词时，修饰对象两者或两者以上范围中的每一个，every则修饰三者或三者以上范围中的每一个。纸只有两面，所以用each。故选D。

3.句意：第三，我的家人开始节约用水。

考查名词。food食物；electricity电；water水；energy能量。根据下文“We stopped taking long baths and had short showers instead...when we brushed our teeth.”我们洗澡改成了短时间淋浴，用用过的水洗厕所，用更少的水洗衣服，刷牙时不会让水龙头开着，可知这些内容都与水有关，所以我们应是开始节约用水。故选C。

4.句意：妈妈过去常常开车送我们去学校。

考查动词。carry运送；drive开车；show展示；take带走。根据下文“but now my sister and I started riding our bikes to school.”我们现在是骑自行车去学校，可知过去应该是妈妈开车送我们去。故选B。

5.句意：这周爸爸和他公司的几个人也开始同乘一辆车去上班，并平摊费用。

考查名词。cost费用；value价值；pay工资；spend花销。根据句意，父亲应是与同事共同承担乘车的费用。故选A。
