题目内容
【题目】 The Earth is faced with a serious power problem now and all of us are affected by it. Should we leave everything to the government, or can we do something to save power? The answer is clear: if not us, who? Let us look at how you can save power at home.
Computer: More often than not, we do not turn off our monitors (显示屏) even after we have shut down our computers. And we often leave our computers on when we walk away to do something else. Keep the monitor and the computer switched off when you are not using them. Start doing this even when at work. You will help save some of the earth’s important power.
Air Conditioning: Put the temperature at the minimum or maximum strongest that you are comfortable with, depending on the season. Try not to put it at too-high or too-low temperatures. This helps you save lots of power.
Washers: Do you use your washing machine as frequently as you wish? Do you use your washing machine even when there are not many clothes to wash? Reduce the times of washing by cleaning plenty of clothes every time.
Television: Unplug (拔出插头) the power plug of your television set when not using it. This may not sound like a big deal but this little step will help oneself save power.
Fridge: Do you always put hot food into the fridge? Bring cooked food to room temperatures before placing it into the fridge. You can also spare power by bringing cold or frozen food out of the icebox a great deal ahead of the mealtime. Thus, you don’t need to heat it.

【1】题意:第一自然段划线部分是什么意思?推测题。由后文Let us look at how you can save power at home可知我们都该出一份力去解决问题。所以画线部分的意思是:如果不是我们:又该是谁呢?与D. Everyone should do something to save power所有人都该为拯救能源而做些事意思相符。故选D。
【2】题意:作者觉得我们经常不关掉什么而浪费能源。细节理解题。根据原文Computer: More often than not, we do not turn off our monitors (显示屏) even after we have shut down our computers. And we often leave our computers on when we walk away to do something else我们时常在关掉电脑,但却没有关掉显示屏。而且我们时常也会直接做别的事情而一直让电脑开着。可以推出A. computers and monitors忘了关电脑及其显示屏。故选A。
【3】题意:根据这篇文章,我们最好该怎样做?细节理解题。由原句Reduce the times of washing by cleaning plenty of clothes every time通过每次洗足够多的衣服来降低洗衣的次数。可知与C wash plenty of clothes at a time每次洗足够多的衣服意思相吻合。故选C。
【4】题意:这篇文章最好的标题是?主旨大意题。由第一自然段结尾Let us look at how you can save power at home可知。本文主要讲的是我们每个人如何在家节约能源。也即倡导绿色生活,与A. How to live green相吻合。故选A。
