Question

【题目】3-2-1 GREEN!

You already know an environmentalist’s three R’s: reduce, reuse, recycle. 【1】 Here are three things you can do for the Earth Day.

Be a real cut-up

The next time you’re about to throw out the plastic rings that hold a six-pack of soda together, reach for a pair of scissors.

As a young turtle, Peanut got stuck in one of these rings. As she grew, the ring stayed put（原地不动）, forcing her shell to grow around it. By the time someone found her and cut her free, her shell was permanently deformed（成畸形的）. Thanks to her hard shell, Peanut is alive and well. She now lives at a nature center in Missouri. But most animals that get caught in six-pack rings die.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Easy! 【2】

Hunt for vampires（吸血鬼）

You know all those electronic inventions you’ve got at home? Even when you switch them off, they are really still on. 【3】 Anything with a glowing LED off/on light, a remote control, or a clock display is always on.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Just pull out the plugs（插头） or tap the OFF switch till you really need the electronics.

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章作者说明了你可以为世界地球日做的三件事情。

【1】文章下文Here are three things you can do for the Earth Day.说你可以为世界地球日做三件事情，该空与下文相呼应，E选项“但是，你能帮些什么忙？”切题，故选E。

【2】上文But most animals that get caught in six-pack rings die.说但是，大多数被困在放六个罐子的环状物中的动物都死了，该空与上文相呼应，C选项“在你丢弃它们之前，把环形物剪碎”切题，故选C。

【3】下文Anything with a glowing LED off/on light, a remote control, or a clock display is always on.说明了识别魔鬼电器的方法，该空与下文相呼应，B选项“如何识别魔鬼电器”切题，故选B。

【4】第四段介绍了如何用水的问题，所以这一段的标题应该是“明智地用水”，故选A。

【5】上文Just don’t waste water.指出了不要浪费水，下文Take shorter showers.指出短时间的淋浴，该空承上启下，F选项“刷牙的时候，不要一直开着水”切题，故选F。

七选五题型要求考生从整体上把握文章的逻辑结构和内容上的联系，理解句子之间、段落之间的关系，对诸如连贯性、一致性等语段特征有较强的意识和熟练的把握。所以懂得整篇文章的基本结构或段落的语篇结构对解题很有用。例如小题4是要求选择本段的小标题，结合其它三个小标题可知，小标题都是短小精悍的句子，再结合其段落的内容就不难选出正确的答案。
