【解析】

试题分析：本文叙述了为了我们今后的生活，我们在日常生活中要时刻注意要提倡低碳生活，不要太浪费能源，给环境带来危害，中国已经成为排放温室气体的第二大国，所以中国人一定注意要有环保意识。

1.考查冠词。这里是第一次提到他的工作的地点，所以用不定冠词an。

2.考查固定句式。这里是固定句式It takes sb some time to do sth做某事花费某人多长时间，用it来作形式主语，真正的主语是后面的不定式，故用it。

3.考查名词。因为空格前有介词of所以后面用动名词switching。

4.考查连词。当买衣服的时候，他选择棉布料的因为生产棉线用的碳少。这里主要根据上下文的句意来确定用because/as“因为”。

5.考查固定短语。这里是固定短语make contributions to为……做出贡献，有助于。

6.考查连词。新的调查显示在17,000问卷中有78%的开始在日常生活中逐渐养成环保的习惯。这里动词shows 后跟的是宾语从句，用that引导，它在从句中不作成分。

7.考查形容词。这里应该用形容词来修饰名词networking websites ，故用形容词social“社会的”。

8.考查连词。根据more frequently 更经常，可知这里应该用比较连词than。

9.考查动词。因为根据hope及上下文可知这是对以后的希望，故用一般将来时will become。

10.考查固定句式。这里是固定句式there is no time to do没有时间来做某事，故用动词不定式 to delay。

考点：语法填空。
