Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容, 從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

Everyone can help to save the world

We are all environmentalists now. We all know about acid rain and the ozone hole. 【1】 As consumers we have the power to make decisions which will contribute to a better world and it is in our power to do what we can to protect the earth.

【2】 In this way we have the power to influence retailers (零售商) to sell us these so-called “green” products. Therefore, the supermarkets have understood the message and are now trying to improve their environmental image. They are turning to less wasteful and recyclable packaging. The range of “green” products will continue to expand to meet the growing demand. This message has also reached the manufacturers. 【3】 They have realized that protecting the environment may start as an advertising campaign but in the hands of intelligent people it can become a very profitable business. Besides, we can do more.

Furthermore, we also know there are other areas where all of us can make a positive contribution to a cleaner, healthier and safer environment. 【4】 There are a number of ways we can do this. For example, we now know how important it is to have our homes well insulated (隔熱). We should choose the best energy efficient technology, such as modern light bulbs which can reduce electricity consumption by 80% over the older ones. We must also work hard to reduce the amount of rubbish we produce. We all produce tons of rubbish and waste disposal has become a big problem. As an environmentally-conscious consumer we should buy products which do not have so much packaging. Also, we should try to avoid non-returnable goods at all costs. In Scandinavia and Germany, for example, plastic bottles and cans are now returnable goods.

In conclusion it is important to emphasize once again the rise of consumer power. We must realize that we are all part of the problem. 【5】

A. We can all reduce energy consumption at home and so cut the emissions from power systems.

B. For example, when we walk into a supermarket we can choose to buy environmentally friendly products and reject products which damage our planet.

C. There are some other ways to protect the environment.

D. Companies are developing environmentally friendly products that maintain a high quality and a low price.

E. But what are we doing about these problems?

F. Nevertheless we must also realize that we have the responsibility to be part of the solution.

G. Everybody has the duty to contribute to a cleaner world.

試題分析：文章講述了我們每個人都是環(huán)境保護者，作為消費者，我們能夠做許多事情來保護環(huán)境。

【1】E 考查上下文的理解判斷能力�？崭袂耙痪�We all know about acid rain and the ozone hole.提到了酸雨和臭氧洞的問題，后一句As consumers we have the power to make decisions which will contribute to a better world and it is in our power to do what we can to protect the earth.馬上又說了我們作為消費者有能力去做一些事情來保護環(huán)境，因此E項放在這里正好能連接前后句，故答案為E。

【2】B 考查上下文的理解判斷能力。為了承接上文，還有空格后面一句話說以這種方式我們就能影響零售商出售綠色產(chǎn)品。選項B是用具體的實例來說明我們可以這么做，而且和后一句意思完全能銜接起來。故答案為B。

【3】D 考查上下文的理解判斷能力�？崭袂耙痪湓捳f能影響生產(chǎn)商、制造廠，對應(yīng)著D項中的companies，后一句話又提到保護環(huán)境，與D項的表述完全吻合，因此答案為D。

【4】A 考查上下文的理解判斷能力。本段段首句Furthermore, we also know there are other areas where all of us can make a positive contribution to a cleaner, healthier and safer environment.說我們還可以做許多事情來保護環(huán)境。A項正好是一個具體的實例，因此答案為A。

【5】F 考查上下文的理解判斷能力。本段是總結(jié)段，前面一句We must realize that we are all part of the problem說我們是問題的一部分，因此后面接上我們有責(zé)任成為解決問題的一部分，故答案為F。
