【题目】Ways to Host an Eco-Friendly Cookout
Eating in the open air may feel eco-friendly, but outdoor dining can result in unnecessary waste if you aren’t careful. 【1】. Keep that in mind, you’ll be off to a good start.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Skip the paper invitations and use online services like Email, or Facebook events. 【2】. This way you’ll avoid ending up with five different potato salads that go uneaten. Make it easy for guests to sort garbage by preparing different dustbins: one for kitchen garbage, one for recyclables, and one for non-recyclables.
Stop Using Plastic
Plastic is a leading cause of litter and isn’t easy to recycle. To make sure your cookout eco-friendly, consider some other options for making your cookout stand out. Use recycled jars as glasses. They’re also far less breakable than regular glasses. 【3】. If guests know which glass is theirs, they don’t need to reach for another one, which cuts down on the cleanup you’ll be doing.
【4】
Wherever possible, shop for local produce and goods to serve your guests. This will reduce your carbon footprint and help support your local economy. Buy produce and meats at your local farmers’ market. Look for organic, but favor local over organic if you have to make a choice.
Use Renewable Light Sources
【5】. As the sun goes down, illuminate(照亮) your party space with LED lighting and solar-powered decorations. Invest in some candles and torches to help drive away insects naturally.
A. Support Global Economy
B. Think Globally, Shop Locally
C. Ask guests to bring glasses of their own
D. Keep track of what everyone is bringing ahead of time
E. Save on energy by hosting your party during the daylight hours
F. The key to being eco-friendly is to reduce waste wherever possible
G. Put up some label to the jars so people can write their names on them
【答案】
【1】F
【2】D
【3】G
【4】B
【5】E
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。本文作者针对如何举办一次对生态环境友好的野餐这一问题,给出了自己的一些建议。
【1】在上文Eating in the open air may feel eco-friendly, but outdoor dining can result in unnecessary waste if you aren’t careful.捕捉到关键词waste,在户外吃东西可能会觉得环保,但是如果不小心,户外就餐会导致不必要的浪费。故F项(对生态环境友好的关键是只要有可能就减少浪费。)是对上文的进一步说明。
【2】根据下文This way you’ll avoid ending up with five different potato salads that go uneaten.这里提到了用这种方法,避免带了五个土豆沙拉吃不了的情况出现,所以上文会说提前记录每个人会带什么东西,选D。
【3】根据下文If guests know which glass is theirs, they don’t need to reach for another one, which cuts down on the cleanup you’ll be doing.这里提到了如果客人知道哪个杯子是他们的,他们就不需要再拿另外的杯子,所以上文会说在杯子上贴一些标签儿,这样人们就可以把他们的名字写在杯子上,选G。
【4】这一段落提到了在哪里购物的问题,所以标题应该是全局考虑,当地购物,选B。
【5】Use Renewable Light Sources这一段的标题是使用可再生光源,E项Save on energy by hosting your party during the daylight hours(通过在白天举办你的聚会来节省能源。)是使用可再生光源的一个方法,故选E。
