Question

【題目】Do you think you're green? You're a totally modern citizen, aren't you? You keep your bottles and take them to the bottle bank. You have a black bin and a green bin, one for general waste and one for recyclable waste. Your car uses lead—free petrol. You use the same plastic bag every time you go to the supermarket. Maybe you even cycle to work from time to time. You are playing your part; you are green and environment-friendly. Well, I've got news for you:

YOU ARE NOT DOING ENOUGH!

If you don't believe me, look at these facts. Trust me, they're from a BBC website.

On average every person in the UK throws away their own body weight in rubbish every seven weeks.

Every year, the average dustbin contains enough unused energy for 500 hot baths, 3,500 hot showers or 5,000 hours of television.

Every UK household produces over one tonne of rubbish every year.

If all the aluminium drink cans sold in the UK were recycled, there would be 14 million fewer full dustbins per year.

Just one recycled aluminium can saves enough energy to run a television for three hours!

At Christmas over 83 square kilometres of wrapping paper is thrown in the bin.

Almost three billion nappies (used for baby) are thrown away in the UK every year. 90% of these are buried and take hundreds of years to disappear.

Have I made you believe that you need to do more? No? OK, here are one or two more facts.

Recycling just one plastic bottle saves enough energy to power a light bulb for six hours.

Collecting dustbins and cleaning streets costs ￡1. 6 billion per year.

Surely you must believe me now. You need to do more. The good news is that there is some- thing else you can do.

【解析】現(xiàn)在我們都知道了保護(hù)環(huán)境的重要性，在我們的日常生活中，我們也注意了一些行為，盡量的去保護(hù)環(huán)境。但是作者認(rèn)為我們做得還不夠，文章中列舉了很多事實(shí)，表明現(xiàn)在我們還不夠“綠色”，我們能做的還有很多。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段中You keep your bottles and take them to the bottle bank. You have a black bin and a green bin, one for general waste and one for recyclable waste. Your car uses lead—free petrol. You use the same plastic bag every time you go to the supermarket. Maybe you even cycle to work from time to time可知，這里提到的環(huán)保的行為有：你保存瓶子，把他們帶到瓶子回收站；你給垃圾分類；你的汽車使用無鉛汽油；你每次去超市都使用同一個(gè)塑料袋；你時(shí)不時(shí)的騎車去上班。一共是五個(gè)，故應(yīng)選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中Every UK household produces over one ton of rubbish every year可知，每個(gè)英國的家庭每年產(chǎn)生的垃圾超過一噸，由此可知B是正確的。根據(jù)On average every person in the UK throws away their own body weight in rubbish every seven weeks可知A不對(duì)；根據(jù)If all the aluminium drink cans sold in the UK were recycled, there would be 14 million fewer full dustbins per year可知C不對(duì)；根據(jù)Almost three billion nappies (used for baby) are thrown away in the UK every year. 90% of these are buried and take hundreds of years to disappear可知D不對(duì)。

【3】主旨大意題。短文第一段列舉了一些人們?nèi)粘Ｉ�活中所做的環(huán)保的行為，但是第二段開頭You are not doing enough告訴我們，我們做得還不夠，短文列舉了很多數(shù)據(jù)，告訴我們浪費(fèi)、垃圾過多這樣的情況仍然很嚴(yán)重。因此D選項(xiàng)最能概括文意，選D。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文意可知，雖然我們?cè)谌粘Ｉ�活中已�?jīng)做到了一些事情，可以有利于環(huán)境，但是作者覺得我們做得還不夠。在最后一段中作者說到You need to do more，你需要做更多的事情。由此可知應(yīng)選B。
