Question

 On April 22 ,2011,we decided to go "green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things,and it also meant challenging our?selves to go green beyond the easy things. Rather than re?cycle and reduce our energy,we had to think of 365 differ?ent green things to do and this was no easy task.

With the idea of going green every single day for a year,Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.

Over the course of Our Green Year,we completely changed our lifestyles. We now shop at organic (有機的) stores. We consume less meat,choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don't need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice,with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter,enjoying the smell of homemade fresh bread. In our home anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.

Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.

Answer 1

本文描述了作者在2011年4月決定一家人開始力行環(huán)保生活一年及環(huán)保生活的效果。

19. A主旨大意題。本文主要講述的是作者一家環(huán)保生活的經(jīng)歷和效果。文章多處出現(xiàn)了going green (環(huán)保生活) ，所以答案為A項。

20. D細節(jié)理解題。由第一段第二句"...challenging ourselves to go green beyond the easy things."可知，此處beyond the easy things (不容易做的事情) 與unusual green tasks是同義的，文章一再強調(diào)必須想出365種不同的環(huán)保事情來做，這不是件容易的事.故答案為   D.

21. A細節(jié)理解題。由第三段可知作者一家完全改變了生活方式，在有機商店購物，少吃肉，盡量少買不需要的東西，不用化學(xué)去污劑等，這些都是環(huán)保的習(xí)慣，與A項概括相一致。

22. B推理判斷題。由文章最后一段的"We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet."可知，這對夫婦的環(huán)保年很成功，所以他們可能在將來還會繼續(xù)他們的環(huán)保做法。
