Question

【題目】 We need to be responsible for our environment. Being a frugal consumer(節(jié)儉的消費者) is one way to help. But, what exactly does that mean?

Use It Up

You can use things up instead of wasting them. Squeeze that last bit of toothpaste out of the rube. Use the last little piece of soap. Don’t throw away any bits of the biscuit at the bottom of the box.

Wear It Out

You do not always need to have new things. Suppose your sneakers have broken laces, but they still fit you. Repair them and wear them longer. You don’t have to have the latest iPhone until the old one doesn’t work anymore. Then you can get a new one. Think twice before replacing something that still works.

Make It Do

When something you want is not on hand, look for something else that you already have to take its place. Suppose you are packing your lunch for tomorrow and want a butter sandwich. You are out of butter. Have a cheese sandwich instead so that you can use all of the cheese. Learn to fix broken boys instead of just throwing them away. With an little thought, you can make something do, instead of buying something new.

Do Without

Think about all those things that you would like to have. Do you really need them? How long will you really play with that new toy you saw on TV? Making the things that we want uses up our world ’ s resources(資源). And, getting rid of the things we don’t want any more takes up even more resources and space.

【解析】

我們需要對我們的環(huán)境負責。做一個節(jié)儉的消費者就是一個幫助它很好的辦法。具體介紹了為什么節(jié)儉的消費者對環(huán)境有好處。

【1】此句問題是“我們需要對環(huán)境負責，不是嗎？”，是一個反意疑問句，根據(jù)文章開頭第一句話We need to be responsible for our environment.點名主旨“我們應該對環(huán)境負責。” 可知回答應該是肯定的。故答案為Yes, we do。

【2】根據(jù)Use the last little piece of soap.可知我們要用光最后一點香皂。故答案為We use it up。

【3】根據(jù)You don’t have to have the latest iPhone until the old one doesn’t work anymore. 可知直到我們舊的iPhone不好使了我們才去買新的手機。故答案為We don’t need to get a new iPhone until the old one doesn’t work anymore。

【4】根據(jù)When something you want is not on hand, look for something else that you already have to take its place. 可知當我們想要的東西不在手邊的時候，我們應該找一些其他東西代替。故答案為We should look for something else that you already have。

【5】此問題是一個選擇疑問句，根據(jù)And, getting rid of the things we don’t want any more takes up even more resources and space.可知不用我們不需要的東西更占用資源和空間。故答案為Getting rid of the things we don’t want any more。

【6】根據(jù)第一段We need to be responsible for our environment. Being a frugal consumer(節(jié)儉的消費者) is one way to help. But, what exactly does that mean?可知我們需要對我們的環(huán)境負責。做一個節(jié)儉的消費者就是一個幫助它很好的辦法。本文具體介紹了為什么節(jié)儉的消費者對環(huán)境有好處。故答案為The writer wants to tell us why and how to be a responsible consumer./ what we should do to be a frugal consumer ./ the exact ways to help the environment......Any reasonable answer is OK。
