Answer 1

分析 本文属于环保类的短文阅读．主要针对"不浪费，不匮乏"这一观点展开论述，强调我们在生活中要注意许多小的好习惯就能产生与众不同的效果，并且强调不要过分迷恋一些无关紧要的事务而继续浪费资源，从现在做起，不浪费资源，造福子孙后代．

解答 41．completely考查副词的用法．句意：然而，我们没有人能在生活中完全避免浪费．此处用副词修饰动词"avoid"作状语，应填completely．
42．natural考查形容词的用法．根据下文的名词"resource"可知此处用形容词作定语，应填natural，自然的．
43．or考查连词的用法．前文our money和other people's time之间是选择关系，故用连词or或者．
44．difference考查名词的用法．句意：最小的好习惯也能产生影响．固定短语make a difference有影响，起作用．
45．that/which考查连接词的用法．此处是定语从句，先行词world为下文定语从句的逻辑主语，指物，故关系词用that/which．
46．saving考查非谓语动词的用法．动词短语focus on聚焦于…；其中的on是介词，后面要接动名词或者名词作宾语．句义：通过集中注意力于节省石油，水，纸等，我们在减少浪费方面起着很大的作用．应填saving节省．
47．a考查冠词的用法．短语play a part in对某事起作用．
48．ourselves考查反身代词的用法．句意：我们必须提醒自己，要沉迷于某些东西比从里面摆脱出来容易．此处用反身代词作宾语，ourselves我们自己．
49．done考查非谓语动词的用法．固定搭配do damage to…破坏…；do和damage是动宾关系，故用过去分词短语done to our land作为定语修饰名词damage．
50．will be考查一般将来时的用法．句意：是我们对浪费说不的时候了，这样我们子孙后代们才能很好地成长．本句描述的是将来的动作，故用一般将来时态．

点评 语法填空题是考查语篇的理解能力和语言知识的应用能力．解题时，要在理解文章的前提下，充分考虑语境和上下文之间的联系．不要孤立地看一个词或一个空本身，很多答案是可以在文章中找到参考线索的．
