Ⅰ. 阅读理解

As children reach kindergarten and early

grade-school age, they continue to become

increasingly more aware of the wider world beyond

home, school and their neighborhood. If you

haven’t already done so, this can be an excellent

time to teach your child about the environment,

and how you can work together to go green as a

family. If you’ve already introduced some eco-friendly habits in your home, here

are some ways your growing child can contribute more to the greening of his world

and beyond.

My 7-year-old son discovered a magazine cover on the table that featured a cover

line about polar bears being endangered because of global warming. I decided to be

straight with him—I said yes, there is a danger to polar bears and other wildlife

because of pollution. But I told him that we can all do something to go green and

help make a difference, and perhaps help the polar bears and all living things on

our planet.

My grandmothers were immigrants(移民)who lived through wars in South Korea. They

used to constantly remind me to turn off the lights, and even not to use too much

toilet paper. As it turns out, these were great lessons. Have your child get into

the habit of turning off lights and electronic equipment when he’s not using them.

A nice bonus(意外收获): reducing electricity use can help cut down your bills.

A grade-schooler is old enough to understand that water comes from lakes and pools.

Explain that wasting it can affect everyone who depends on that water. Wasting water

also means wasting energy. A tap that runs for five minutes is equal to letting a

60-watt bulb run for 14 hours, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

Make it easier for your grade-schooler to go green by choosing different baskets for glass, metal, paper, and plastic. Have your child draw pictures of recyclable 教育资料

资料 types to mark each basket. Once a season or more, have your child help you look for

used clothing, books, toys and other things around the house to give away to local

shelters(避难所).

【文章大意】本文作者以自己的亲身经历告诉其他母亲应该如何在生活中帮助孩子变得更有环保意识, 让他们从小就有保护环境的观念。

1. The underlined word“contribute”in Paragraph 1 means .

A. buy B. use C. give D. find

【解析】选C。词义猜测题。由于本句里的introduced说明如果你已经介绍给孩子一些环保习惯了, 而且在接下来的三个段落中作者本人又给出一些关于绿色生活的建议。所以这里的contribute的意思是“给出”。

2. What makes polar bears in danger according to the passage?

A. The global warming at present and in future.

B. The pollution of the air in developed countries.

C. The loss of the forest all over the world at present.

D. The hunt for them by people from across the world.

【解析】选A。细节理解题。第二段第一句里的being endangered because of global warming是本题的解题线索。需注意的是B选项, 虽然第二段说到了污染危及一些野生动物的生存,

但并不是针对空气污染而言, 所以不能选B。

3. What does the author learn from her grandmothers?

A. Make peace with any other country.

B. Not moving to other foreign countries.

C. Turn off the lights and the water to go green.

D. Live a simple life without spending too much.

【解析】选C。推理判断题。第三段作者提到了自己的祖母和外祖母经历过战争后尤其重视节省, 本段的第二句话是解题线索, 第三、四句是作者的体会和经验, 第五句开始给出了自己也身体力行的理由, 所以答案选C。但是注意D项虽然不错, 但是和第二句作者的祖母和外祖母的要求相比, 没有确切说明为了环保而做的具体措施, 所以不能选。

4. What is the best title of the passage?

A. Ways to Help Your Child Make Money.

B. Ways to Help Your Child Go Green. 教育资料

资料 C. Setting up a Recycling Centre for Your House.

D. Setting up Eco-friendly Habits Is Necessary.

【解析】选B。主旨大意题。首先要明确这篇文章的作者是一个母亲, 她在以自己的经历告诉别的母亲应该帮助自己的孩子更环保, 所以选项里的关键词是child和green。

Ⅱ. 完形填空

I take a deep breath, cross my fingers and step forward. Am I about to take

the leap before bungee-jumping? 1 , I’m about to cross the road on my way to

work.

There have been a few 2 in the press over the last couple of months

about“Chinese-style road crossing”. The definition of this

3 is“a large number

of people jaywalking(乱穿马路)together because they feel 4 in a big group”.

Crossing the road is a simple task but sometimes it can be time-consuming and

dangerous. It can be 5 to try and rush across the road while the red 6 is still

lit; it’s only a short distance, what’s the 7 that can happen?

Many pedestrians don’t seem to understand the 8 they are taking. If the

light’s on green, then most drivers won’t pay attention, 9 that no one will

be crossing the road. If the driver does notice, it’s possible that they may not

have the

10 stopping distance to be able to stop

11 hitting the person.

Also, stepping out onto a road at the wrong

12 causes vehicles to slow down,

meaning the cars behind them have to slow down, creating a

13 effect possibly even

a long tailback(车辆长队).

14 , it can be difficult to stick to the rules when there is 15

pedestrian-friendly crossings and it seems that drivers don’t follow the rules,
