Going green seems to be fad (时尚) for a lot of people the Wap版

试题详情及答案解析

Going green seems to be fad (时尚) for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad, we can't really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.
On April 22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.
With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.
Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyle. We now shop at organic(有机的)stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don't need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.
Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.

试题分析：本文描述了作者在2011年四月决定一家人开始力行环保生活一年以及环保生活的效果。
【小题1】主旨大意题。本文主要讲述的是作者一家环保生活的经历和效果。文章第一段两处出现了going green环保生活一词，全文又多次出现该词，所以答案为D。
【小题2】细节理解题。第二段的第二句的...challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things.（挑战自我去做一些不容易做的环保事情），此处beyond easy things（不容易做的事情）与unusual green tasks是同义的；以及文章一再强调We had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task（必须想出365种不同的环保事情要做，这不是件容易的任务）。故答案为A。
【小题3】细节理解题。根据Our Green Year这个定位词可以在倒数第二段找到依据，该段说他们一家完全改变了生活方式，在有机商店购物，少吃肉，尽量少买不需要的东西，不用化学洗液等等，这些都是环保的习惯，这与B项概括相一致。
【小题4】推理判断题。文章最后一段We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet（我们很感谢有机会能够过绿色环保的生活和教育别人。我们相信我们有能力去改变一些东西，帮助我们的星球。）说明这对夫妇这个环保年很成功，所以他们可能在将来还会继续他们的环保做法。选C。
