阅读理解(二)

阅读下面短文,简要回答所给问题。

  The first Earth Day was in 1970. People were beginning to worry about what we were doing to our environment. So they set up Earth Day to tell everyone about their worries.

  In 2007 organizers over 150 countries planned over 4,000 big events. But Earth Day is not just about marches(游行) and big events. In the week around Earth Day (22 April) there were many thousands of smaller, local events. These events dealt with environmental problems in the neighborhood. The World Wide Fund for Nature made a list of 5 things that each person could do to save the environment.

  *Don't leave the tap running.

  *Turn off lights when you leave a room.

  *Turn off your computer every night.

  *Wash your clothes, and yourself, in warm or cold water, not hot water.

  *Dishwashers use as little water as possible. If we all do at least 20 of these all the time, we can make a big difference. 

1.What is the purpose for people to set up Earth Day?

2.When is Earth Day?

3.What should people do when the water keeps running from a tap?

4.Does the word “dishwashers” mean “machines for washing dishes”?

5.Besides the five, what else can you do to save our environment? (One example is OK.)

 

1.(They set up Earth Day) to tell everyone about their worries. 2.(It's) (on) April 22 ( nd). /(It's) (on) 22 (nd), April. 3.People should stop it from running. / Turn the tap off. / Turn off the tap. 4.Yes./ Yes, it does. 5.We shouldn't throw rubbish everywhere. 【解析】 试题分析:这篇文章主要介绍了在地球日那天,人们应该怎样做来保护我们的环境。 1.推理题。根据文章第一段People were beginning to worry about what we were doing to our environment说明人们设立地球日的目的就是告诉人们对环境的担忧。故填(They set up Earth Day) to tell everyone about their worries. 2.细节题。根据第二段第二行In the week around Earth Day (22 April) 。故填(It's) (on) April 22 ( nd). /(It's) (on) 22 (nd), April. 3.根据第三部分第一行·Don’t leave the tap running.可知答案,故填People should stop it from running. / Turn the tap off. / Turn off the tap. 4.推理题。根据·Dishwashers use as little water as possible.说明这种机器可能用水较少,所以才会推荐我们使用这样的机器,以保护饮用水。故填Yes./ Yes, it does. 5. 考点:考查科普类短文阅读。

Bicycles are very popular in China. In our country you can see bicycles almost everywhere. When you walk on the road, you will find a lot of people riding bicycles to schools, shops and anywhere else. Therefore(因此), China is known as “the kingdom of bicycles”. In China, many families have one or two bicycles.

Compared(与……比) with cars, bicycles have many advantages. First, they are much cheaper than cars. Most Chinese can’t afford cars, but they can afford bicycles. Second, bicycles are small enough to park anywhere, while cars need a larger piece of land to park. What’s more, with lower speed, bicycles are safer than cars.

However, bicycles also bring some problems. Some riders don’t obey the traffic rules and some riders don’t think about others’ safety. So they ride too fast. During rush hours, too many bicycles may cause traffic jams. We still have a long way to go to solve the problem.
