But what should we start with? 16 . · 17 . Plastic bags cause rubbish and are a danger to wild animals. So it is a good idea to take a reusable bag when you go shopping.· Remove the plug (插头) from its power supply. When you turn off a TV, 18 . Make sure the TV is off its plug.· Keep your shower time short. It is believed that taking a shower needs less water than having a bath. In fact, if you spend more than 8 minutes in a shower, you will use as much water. 19 .· Do not just choose local food. It seems that eating local food is better for the environment, because it does not need to be transported (运输) long distances. 20 . Not the transport, but the production of food, uses most of the energy. A．it still uses power B．Avoid using plastic bags C．Unluckily, it is not that simple D．Here are four useful suggestions E．Time is the most important factor 【答案】16．D 17．B 18．A 19．E 20．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章给出了几条生活中减少能源浪费和污染的建议。 16．根据上文“Most of us know that we must take care of the earth, and try to save energy and reduce waste and pollution. But what should we start with?(我们大多数人都知道我们必须爱护地球，努力节约能源，减少浪费和污染。但是我们应该从什么开始呢？)”以及文后的内容讲述的是减少能源浪费的具体措施。本句应该是承上启下的过渡句，引出后文的具体建议。故D选项“这里有四条有用的建议”符合语境，故选D。 17．根据本段内容“Plastic bags cause rubbish and are a danger to wild animals. So it is a good idea to take a reusable bag when you go shopping.(塑料袋产生垃圾，对野生动物是一种危险。所以当你去购物的时候带一个可重复使用的袋子是个好主意)”可知，本段的建议不使用塑料袋，故B选项“避免使用塑料袋”符合语境，故选B。 18．根据标题“· Remove the plug (插头) from its power supply.(从电源上拔下插头)”、上文“When you turn off a TV(当你关掉电视的时候)”以及后文“Make sure the TV is off its plug.(确保把电视插头拔掉)”可知，不拔掉电器插头有弊端，只关掉电视开关，电视还在耗电，A选项正好讲的是不拔掉插头的弊端。故A选项“它仍然使用电力”符合语境，故选A。 19．根据上文“It is believed that taking a shower needs less water than having a bath. In fact, if you spend more than 8 minutes in a shower, you will use as much water.(人们认为淋浴比泡澡需要更少的水。事实上，如果你洗澡的时间超过8分钟，你就会用掉同样多的水)”可知，此句前面讲的是淋浴时间超过8分钟就不省水，所以省不省水关键在于时间，故E选项“时间是最重要的因素”符合语境，故选E。 20．根据上文“It seems that eating local food is better for the environment, because it does not need to be transported (运输) long distances.(吃当地的食物似乎对环境更好，因为它不需要长途运输)”以及后文“Not the transport, but the production of food, uses most of the energy.(消耗大部分能源的不是运输，而是食物的生产)”可知，此处前后有转折意味，前面说缩短运输距离就节省能源，而后面是对前面的否定，故C选项“不幸的是，事情没那么简单”符合语境，故选C。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
