Everything you do to protect the planet helps all living things, including humpbacks(座头鲸) and other species of whales that live in oceans worldwide. And yes--just one kid, like you, can make a difference.【小题1】. Don’t litter. Rubbish thrown away carelessly outside often washes into storm drains（排水沟）, which empty into rivers and eventually flow to the oceans.【小题2】, including whales. Say, “No bag, thank you.” Whether you’re buying toys, snacks, or clothes, tell the checkout person you don’t need a bag.【小题3】, you’ll help reduce the 100 million plastic bags that each year block sewers(下水道), and get swallowed by whales, sea turtles, and other wild life. Plant a tree.【小题4】. They produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）, a gas that animals, including humans, produce naturally as they breathe. But because carbon dioxide also comes from cars and factories, there is too much of it in the atmosphere, which is contributing to global warming. If everyone planted one tree, those trees would remove a large amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. 【小题5】. Every time you leave a room for more than a minute, turn off the light you’re using. In this way, you save energy and keep greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere. Try the family challenge! Many streams and rivers are polluted and littered with rubbish. You and your family can help preserve the waterways by joining others in your community to pick up rubbish.
A．Trees help clean the air we breathe
B．Turn off the light
C．Avoid driving cars
D．By carrying your own reusable bag
E. Treat them like friends F. Here are ideas for easy, small things you can do G. Pollution is a growing problem for all the Earth’s oceans and its wildlife
答案：【小题1】F 【小题2】G 【小题3】D 【小题4】A 【小题5】B
试题分析：文章介绍了不乱丢垃圾、不使用塑料袋、种树等在保护环境方面简单易行的一些事情。做题之前需要先了解文章结构，其次是把握段落大意。 【小题1】根据下面各段首句“Don’t litter...Say, “No bag, thank you.”...Plant a tree...”可知，文章主要提了一些在环保方面容易做到的小事，故选F。 【小题2】根据“including whales”可知，前面讲的是海洋生物，因为鲸也属于海洋生物；再根据“eventually flow to the oceans”可知，随手乱丢的垃圾最终进入海洋，给海洋生物造成伤害，故选G。 【小题3】根据“you don’t need a bag...you’ll help reduce the 100 million plastic bags”可知，这样做能够帮助减少塑料袋的使用，D项“通过使用可重复利用的袋子”符合语境，故选D。 【小题4】根据“They produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）”可知，树能够吸收二氧化碳并释放氧气，即树具有净化空气的作用，只有A项提到了树，故选A。 【小题5】根据“turn off the light you’re using. In this way, you save energy...”可知，本段讲的是节约资源，随手关灯，故选B。 考点：环保类短文阅读
