Recently, a new lifestyle called low carbon life is spreading to every corner of our country. The meanings of low carbon are low energy and no waste. It is so important a project that I can’t wait to express my ideas on how to promote it.
First, we should set up a no-car day every week in our school because cars not only bring serious air pollution but also waste energy. On the no-car day, neither students nor teachers are allowed to drive to school, just walk or run. Use our legs and enjoy the fun.
Second, we’d better not use plastic bags. No one can stand the “white pollution”, so it is wise to use cloth bags which can be used again and again.
Finally, one thing that we should keep in mind is that every big thing comes from small details. So, as students, we should turn off the lights the moment we leave, use both sides of paper, and reuse our textbooks and so on.
All in all, it weighs greatly for all of us to put the low carbon lifestyle into practice. Just set our mind to these: no-car days, no plastic, and no waste. Let’s do it now.
31. What’s the main idea of this message?
A. Low carbon, low energy B. Reuse the cloth bags
C. Air pollution D. How to promote the new lifestyle called low carbon life.
32. What should we do as students or teachers?
A. drive to school B. use plastic bags
C. walk or run to school D. turn on the lights the moment we leave.
33. What the meaning of “reuse” in the fourth paragraph?
A. useful B. recycle C. usage D. no use
34. Which of the opinion is not be mentioned in the passage?
A. Turn off the lights. B. Use both sides of paper.
C. Go to school by bus. D. Reuse our textbooks.
35. What is the best advice to improve our carbon lifestyle?
A. Put the low carbon lifestyle into practice.
B. Walks to school.
C. Reuse the paper.
D. Not use plastic bags.

Recently a new lifestyle called low carbon life is spreading to every corner of our country. The meanings of low carbon are low energy and no waste. It is so important a project that I can’t wait to express my ideas on how to promote it.
First, we should set up a no-car day every week in our school because cars not only bring serious air pollution but also waste energy. On the no-car day, neither students nor teachers are allowed to drive to school, just walk or run. Use our legs and enjoy the fun.
Second, we’d better not use plastic bags. No one can stand the “white pollution”, so it is wise to use cloth bags which can be used again and again.
Finally, one thing that we should keep in mind is that every big thing comes from small details. So, as students, we should turn off the lights the moment we leave, use both sides of paper, and reuse our textbooks and so on.
All in all, it weighs greatly for all of us to put the low carbon lifestyle into practice. Just set our mind to these: no-car days, no plastic, and no waste. Let’s do it now.
31. What’s the main idea of this message?
A. Low carbon, low energy B. Reuse the cloth bags
C. Air pollution D. How to promote the new lifestyle called low carbon life.
32. What should we do as students or teachers?
A. drive to school B. use plastic bags
C. walk or run to school D. turn on the lights the moment we leave.
33. What the meaning of “reuse” in the fourth paragraph?
A. useful B. recycle C. usage D. no use
34. Which of the opinion is not be mentioned in the passage?
A. Turn off the lights. B. Use both sides of paper.
C. Go to school by bus. D. Reuse our textbooks.
35. What is the best advice to improve our carbon lifestyle?
A. Put the low carbon lifestyle into practice.
B. Walks to school.
C. Reuse the paper.
D. Not use plastic bags.

【41题详解】
考查情态动词。句意:我能问你一个问题吗?根据“... I ask you a few questions? (我……问你一个问题吗?)”可知,此处应是请求对方的许可,可用情态动词can,意为“能够”,用在比较熟悉的人之间,语气相对比较直接;也可用情态动词could,意为“能够”,语气比can更委婉;亦可用情态动词may,意为“可以”,带有比较正式、礼貌的语气;位于句首,大写首字母。故填Could/ Can/ May。
【42题详解】
考查动词短语。句意:有时候我能想出一些新点子,让事物变得与众不同。根据“Sometimes I can come up ... new ideas to make things different. (有时候我能……一些新点子,让事物变得与众不同。)”可知,此处表示想出一些新点子,动词短语come up with意为“想出”符合语境。故填with。

【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了在第一中学有一个竹编社团,在这个社团中,学生可以向当地工匠学习竹编这项中国传统技艺。
【46题详解】
考查动词的语态。句意:然而,竹子也可以变成美丽和时尚的东西。动词短语“turn into”意为“变成”,主语“bamboo (竹子)”和动词“turn”之间是被动关系,因此这里是含情态动词“can”的被动语态“can be+过去分词”结构。故填turned。
【47题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意:在第一中学,有一个竹编社团。分析句子结构可知,此处是“there be”句型,表示“有”,本句中名词“club (社团)”是单数形式,句子描述的是事实,应使用一般现在时,因此be动词使用is。故填is。
【48题详解】
考查形容词。句意:学生可以向当地工匠学习这项中国传统技艺。分析句子结构可知,此处需要一个形容词来修饰名词“Chinese skill”,“tradition”是名词,其形容词形式是 “traditional”,表示“传统的”。故填traditional。
【49题详解】
考查名词。句意:他们制作装饰画、杯垫、项链、戒指和其他东西。根据后文列举的“coasters, necklaces, rings and other things (杯垫、项链、戒指和其他东西)”可知,这里需要填一个可数名词的复数形式,“paint”作名词时意为“颜料”,不符合语境,“painting”表示“绘画;画作”,符合语境且其复数形式为“paintings”。故填paintings。
【50题详解】
考查连词。句意:这些细条彼此之间不是太近就是太远。“either ... or ...”是固定搭配,表示“不是……就是……”。故填or。
【51题详解】
考查动词的时态。句意:然后他需要从头再来。分析句子结构可知,设空处是句子的谓语,根据前面“When he first tried it (当他第一次尝试时)”可知,应用一般过去时,“need”的过去式是“needed”。故填needed。
【52题详解】
考查副词。句意:但当风扇终于完成,吹出一阵凉风时,我觉得所有的不安都消失了。分析句子结构可知,句子成分及句意完整,因此使用副词修饰动词“finished (完成)”,“final”的副词形式是“finally”。故填finally。
【53题详解】
考查动词的时态及主谓一致。句意:但是把竹子做成竹条需要做很多工作,包括切掉绿色的皮,把它切成薄片,并确保竹条彼此一样宽。此处是“it takes (sb.) some time to do sth.”句型,表示“做某事花费(某人)多少时间”,句子描述的是客观事实,应使用一般现在时,形式主语“it”是第三人称单数形式,谓语动词应用三单。故填takes。
【54题详解】
考查形容词。句意:但是把竹子做成竹条需要做很多工作,包括切掉绿色的皮,把它切成薄片,并确保竹条彼此一样宽。固定用法“as+形容词原形/副词原形+as”表示“和……一样……”,此处需要形容词原级,“wide”本身就是形容词原级。故填wide。
【55题详解】
考查形容词。句意:“知道这些植物是如何一步一步变成精美艺术品的,真是太神奇了,”14岁的杜奕航说。“It’s”是“It is”的缩写形式,“is”是系动词,后面应接形容词作表语,这个形容词是用来修饰“植物变成精美艺术品”这件事情,因此应使用“amazing”,表示“令人诧异的”。故填amazing。
