Question

Everything you do to protect the planet helps all living things, including humpbacks(座頭鯨) and other species of whales that live in oceans worldwide. And yes--just one kid, like you, can make a difference. 1. .

Say, “No bag, thank you.” Whether you’re buying toys, snacks, or clothes, tell the checkout person you don’t need a bag. 3. , you’ll help reduce the 100 million plastic bags that each year block sewers(下水道), and get swallowed by whales, sea turtles, and other wild life.

Plant a tree. 4. . They produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）, a gas that animals, including humans, produce naturally as they breathe. But because carbon dioxide also comes from cars and factories, there is too much of it in the atmosphere, which is contributing to global warming. If everyone planted one tree, those trees would remove a large amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

5. . Every time you leave a room for more than a minute, turn off the light you’re using. In this way, you save energy and keep greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere.

【解析】

試題分析：文章介紹了不亂丟垃圾、不使用塑料袋、種樹等在保護(hù)環(huán)境方面簡單易行的一些事情。做題之前需要先了解文章結(jié)構(gòu)，其次是把握段落大意。

1.Don’t litter...Say, “No bag, thank you.”...Plant a tree...”可知，文章主要提了一些在環(huán)保方面容易做到的小事，故選F。

2.including whales”可知，前面講的是海洋生物，因?yàn)轹L也屬于海洋生物；再根據(jù)“eventually flow to the oceans”可知，隨手亂丟的垃圾最終進(jìn)入海洋，給海洋生物造成傷害，故選G。

3.you don’t need a bag...you’ll help reduce the 100 million plastic bags”可知，這樣做能夠幫助減少塑料袋的使用，D項(xiàng)“通過使用可重復(fù)利用的袋子”符合語境，故選D。

4.They produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）”可知，樹能夠吸收二氧化碳并釋放氧氣，即樹具有凈化空氣的作用，只有A項(xiàng)提到了樹，故選A。

5.turn off the light you’re using. In this way, you save energy...”可知，本段講的是節(jié)約資源，隨手關(guān)燈，故選B。
