Question

    Things You Can Do To Help The Environment.

The biggest use of home energy is for cooling and heating. So turn up your air conditioner and turn down the heat, especially at night. Replace regular light bulbs with fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯), which use less energy.
Cars are getting bigger, even 5 meters long. They burn more gas and increase problems with acid rain and air pollution. So try to walk, bicycle, or use public transportation. This can save more gas and reduce pollution.
Each American throws away an average (平均)of 10 kilograms of trash every day. Reduce waste before you buy by thinking it carefully: Do I need it? Is it something I can only use once? Buy products that you can use over and over again.
Showers use a lot of water. In one week, a typical American family uses as much water as a person drinks in 3 years! Buy a special “low-flow” showerhead or take shorter showers. This can cut water use in half.

【解析】

文章大意：文章主要介绍的是你可以做些什么来帮助环境。比如减少使用电子设备；骑自行车出行；重复使用购物袋；节约用水等。

1.细节理解题。根据第一个表格第一行“The biggest use of home energy is for cooling and heating”“家用能源的最大用途是制冷和取暖”，故选D。

2.细节理解题。根据第一个表格第一、二行“So turn up your air conditioner and turn down the heat, especially at night”“所以把你的空调开大，把暖气关小，尤其是在晚上”换句话说，也就是夏天空调温度不能太低，冬天暖气温度不能太高，故选C。

3.推理判断题。根据第三个表格第一、二行“Each American throws away an average (平均)of 10 kilograms of trash every day”“每个美国人平均每天扔掉10公斤垃圾”，每天10公斤，每周就是70公斤，故选D。
