Question

Everything you do to protect the planet helps all living things, including humpbacks(座头鲸) 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.

试题分析：文章介绍了不乱丢垃圾、不使用塑料袋、种树等在保护环境方面简单易行的一些事情。做题之前需要先了解文章结构，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环保方面容易做到的小事，故选F。

2.including whales”可知，前面讲的是海洋生物，因为鲸也属于海洋生物；再根据“eventually flow to the oceans”可知，随手乱丢的垃圾最终进入海洋，给海洋生物造成伤害，故选G。

3.you don’t need a bag...you’ll help reduce the 100 million plastic bags”可知，这样做能够帮助减少塑料袋的使用，D项“通过使用可重复利用的袋子”符合语境，故选D。

4.They produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）”可知，树能够吸收二氧化碳并释放氧气，即树具有净化空气的作用，只有A项提到了树，故选A。

5.turn off the light you’re using. In this way, you save energy...”可知，本段讲的是节约资源，随手关灯，故选B。
