Answer 1

【答案】

【1】F

【2】G

【3】E

【4】D

【5】B

【解析】

试题分析：四月二十二日是世界地球日，我们每年庆祝一次以提高我们的地球家园的意识，但平常我们有很多方式保护我们赖以生存的家园，如节约用电，节约用水，选择环保的乘车方式等。

【1】F考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：每年的4月22日，标志着地球日的开始，这一天，每年庆祝一次，以提高我们地球家园的意识，以及我们如何可以保护它免受伤害。故选F（我们可以做下面这些事情来庆祝地球日。）与上下文一致。

【2】G 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：关掉灯；空后一句的意思是：关闭所有不用的能源和电。所以这里选G（然而，这不是你仅仅做一天或者几个小时的事情。）与上下文一致。

【3】E 考查对上下文语境的理解。空后的意思是：车是空气污染的最大的原因。所以这里选E（把车放在家里。）概括下文。

【4】D 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：周末可以把车放在家里；空后的意思是：其他更环保的方式是骑自行车，或者更健康的步行。所以这里选D（乘坐公共交通也是一个不错的选择。）与上下文一致。

【5】B 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：每天都洗澡不是健康的事，而是舒服的事。所以这里选B（每天洗澡会洗掉我们身体和头发所需的自然油脂。）与上下文一致。
