Question

Our earth is in trouble.  Our drinking water is becoming dirtier, and the air is not as clean as before.  People and factories are polluting the air, rivers and lakes and seas.  You may think that there is mothing you can do to help.  That’s not true.  There are many things you can do to help the earth.

Cars burn gasoline.  This will produce a lot of CO₂ into the air.  Some people believe that too much CO₂ is making the earth warmer than ever.  They think CO₂ thins the clouds above us.  The clouds keep us away from the strongest sunlight.  So try to walk, ride a bike or take a bus.  And if you drive a car, drive at a steady speed.  This can save some gasoline.

The biggest energy use at home is for keeping warm and cool.  So turn the air conditioner off when you don’t need to use it.  Use lights that save energy.

Use fewer things that cannot be used again.  When you buy something, consider those made from things that can be used again first.

（1）要用大量的水來(lái)洗澡沐浴。In one week an American family uses as much water for showers as a person drinks in three years! Buy a waterworks that uses less water, or take shorter showers.  This can cut the use of water.

【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文主要介紹了地球正處于巨大的麻煩之中，并詳細(xì)的介紹了地球變暖問(wèn)題，號(hào)召我們行動(dòng)起來(lái)保護(hù)地球。

1.結(jié)合語(yǔ)境可知本句敘述的是客觀性事實(shí)，故用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài)。主語(yǔ)為動(dòng)作對(duì)象，故用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。注意水是不可數(shù)名詞，故謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)。

2.本句的含義是，如果空氣中有太多二氧化碳，地球會(huì)變得更加暖和。故選Some people believe that too much CO₂ is making the earth warmer than ever. 一些人認(rèn)為太多的二氧化碳會(huì)讓地球變得比以前暖和。

3.本文的主要思想就是介紹現(xiàn)在的地球處于巨大的麻煩中，號(hào)召我們保護(hù)地球，故答：There are many things you can do to help the earth. 你可以做很多事情來(lái)幫助地球。

考點(diǎn)：關(guān)于保護(hù)地球的說(shuō)明文閱讀

點(diǎn)評(píng)：本題題型較為復(fù)雜，答題前一定要讀懂全文，注意聯(lián)系上下文，并結(jié)合平時(shí)所學(xué)完成閱讀。
