Question

閱讀下面的短文，并根據(jù)文章后的要求答題。（請注意問題后的詞數(shù)要求）

[1] The first Earth Day was in 1970. People were beginning to worry about what we were doing to our environment (環(huán)境). So they set up Earth Day to tell everyone about their worries.

[2] In 2007, organizers in over 150 countries planned over 4,000 big events. But Earth Day is not just about marches (游行) and big events. In the week around Earth Day (22 April) there were many thousands of smaller, local events. These events dealt with environmental problems in the neighborhood.

[3] The World Wide Fund for Nature made a list of 5 things that each person could do to save the environment.

·Don’t leave the tap running.

·Turn off lights when you leave a room.

·Turn off your computer every night.

·Wash your clothes, and yourself, in cold or warm water, not hot water.

·Dishwashers use as little water as possible.

[4] If we all do at least 2 of these all the time, we can make a big difference.

1.推理題。根據(jù)文章第一段People were beginning to worry about what we were doing to our environment說明人們設立地球日的目的就是告訴人們他們對環(huán)境的擔憂。

2.細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段第二行In the week around Earth Day (22 April) 。

3.根據(jù)第三部分第一行·Don’t leave the tap running.

4.推理題。根據(jù)·Dishwashers use as little water as possible.說明這種機器可能可能用水較少，所以才會推薦我們使用這樣的機器，以保護飲用水。

5.除了文章中的注意點之外，還可以從不要亂扔垃圾，要循環(huán)使用等方面著手。
