Question

【題目】 The Earth is faced with a serious power problem now and all of us are affected by it. Should we leave everything to the government, or can we do something to save power? The answer is clear: if not us, who? Let us look at how you can save power at home.

Computer: More often than not, we do not turn off our monitors (顯示屏) even after we have shut down our computers. And we often leave our computers on when we walk away to do something else. Keep the monitor and the computer switched off when you are not using them. Start doing this even when at work. You will help save some of the earth’s important power.

Air Conditioning: Put the temperature at the minimum or maximum strongest that you are comfortable with, depending on the season. Try not to put it at too-high or too-low temperatures. This helps you save lots of power.

Washers: Do you use your washing machine as frequently as you wish? Do you use your washing machine even when there are not many clothes to wash? Reduce the times of washing by cleaning plenty of clothes every time.

Television: Unplug (拔出插頭) the power plug of your television set when not using it. This may not sound like a big deal but this little step will help oneself save power.

Fridge: Do you always put hot food into the fridge? Bring cooked food to room temperatures before placing it into the fridge. You can also spare power by bringing cold or frozen food out of the icebox a great deal ahead of the mealtime. Thus, you don’t need to heat it.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】A

【3】C

【4】A

【解析】

地球現(xiàn)在面臨著嚴重的能源問題。我們所有人都受此影響。我們是該把這一切拋給政府，還是我們能做些什么去挽救。答案是清晰的，如果不是我們：又該是誰呢？后面從家用的一些電器：電腦，空調(diào)，洗衣機，電視以及電冰箱等方面告訴我們該如何節(jié)約能源。

【1】題意：第一自然段劃線部分是什么意思？推測題。由后文Let us look at how you can save power at home可知我們都該出一份力去解決問題。所以畫線部分的意思是：如果不是我們：又該是誰呢？與D. Everyone should do something to save power所有人都該為拯救能源而做些事意思相符。故選D。

【2】題意：作者覺得我們經(jīng)常不關(guān)掉什么而浪費能源。細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)原文Computer: More often than not, we do not turn off our monitors (顯示屏) even after we have shut down our computers. And we often leave our computers on when we walk away to do something else我們時常在關(guān)掉電腦，但卻沒有關(guān)掉顯示屏。而且我們時常也會直接做別的事情而一直讓電腦開著。可以推出A. computers and monitors忘了關(guān)電腦及其顯示屏。故選A。

【3】題意：根據(jù)這篇文章，我們最好該怎樣做？細節(jié)理解題。由原句Reduce the times of washing by cleaning plenty of clothes every time通過每次洗足夠多的衣服來降低洗衣的次數(shù)�？芍�與C wash plenty of clothes at a time每次洗足夠多的衣服意思相吻合。故選C。

【4】題意：這篇文章最好的標題是？主旨大意題。由第一自然段結(jié)尾Let us look at how you can save power at home可知。本文主要講的是我們每個人如何在家節(jié)約能源。也即倡導(dǎo)綠色生活，與A. How to live green相吻合。故選A。
