Peter,Helen,Catherine,Elizabeth和Levin想根据各自在环保方面的兴趣进行案例研究。阅读下面某杂志的专题报道摘要(A、B、C、D、E和F),选出适合他们研究的最佳案例,并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。
_____小题1:Peter: Reducing plastic and other wastes through DIY
_____小题2:Helen: Making use of the heavy traffic to produce electricity
_____小题3:Catherine: Building a community without private cars
_____小题4:Elizabeth: Building houses with recycled materials and energy-efficiency systems
_____小题5:Levin: Developing a new type of urban car which burns less gas
     A
    B
Vauban
We know cars are terrible polluters, but would you give yours up? Vauban, a community in southwestern Germany, did just that, and its 5,000 citizens are doing fine. Most streets are free of vehicles, and there are generous green spaces and good public-transport links, including fast buses and bicycle paths.  When people must drive, they can turn to car-sharing clubs.  “All the citizens had the chance to plan their own city,” says Andreas Delleke, an energy expert, “and it's just how we wanted it to be.”
Denmark
During the period of gas shortage in the early 70s, Denmark decided to become self-sufficient ( 自足). So they began a few projects making smart investments along the way.
On the island of Samsoe, local families, fishermen and farmers bought wind turbines (涡轮机) to produce their own energy. Within seven years these turbines were completely paid for. And can you believe just one of wind turbines produces enough electricity for 600 households?
     C
     D
Trey Parker and Matt Stone
Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of South Park, have built a sustainable castle with outer siding and inner flooring of recycled wood, recycled carpeting, high-efficiency boiler systems.
“I think more and more today, people are willing to make a statement about the Earth and how they want to protect it,” Michael Rath, home designer and builder says. "For high-end homes in this valley, this is entirely consistent with what they cost."
P-NUT
Who doesn't love the name P-NUT—short for Personal-Neo Urban Transport? It's Honda's latest attempt to create a tiny footprint for a new urban vehicle.
This little P-NUT is unique. With a central driving position, the car is designed to move in tight settings. The  11-foot micro car will seat three with two rear-seat passengers behind the driver.
“The P-NUT concept explores the packaging and design potential for a vehicle designed for the city lifestyle,” said  Dave Marek, a Honda design Spokesman.
E
F
Israel Company
Is it possible that annoying rush hour traffic could become a source of renewable energy?
Israel's Technion Institute of Technology claims that if we placed special generators ( 发电机 ) under roads, railways, and runways—we could harvest enough energy to mass-produce electricity. A trial process has been used on a smaller scale, in dance clubs for instance, where the pounding feet of dancers light up the floor.
"We can produce electricity anywhere there is a busy road using energy that normally goes to waste," said Uri Amit, chairman of Israel's Technion Institute  of Technology.
Coffee
Coffee. Some of us can't start our day without it, and we don't mind waiting 10 minutes in line for it.
Here is the most effective tip to make you a superstar in environment protection.
Get a coffee machine for your home or office, or persuade your company into buying one.  (Tell them it will improve productivity. ) Skip the coffee line on the way to work and make something that is better-tasting and much better for your wallet.
Plus, you won't need those plastic cups or carrying cases that just get thrown away. Better yet, use your favorite travel mug.

小题1:F
小题2:E
小题3:A
小题4:C
小题5:D

试题分析:
小题1:F Peter想通过DIY的方法来减少塑料和问题废物对环境的影响。F项中, you won't need those plastic cups or carrying cases that just get thrown away.建议我们不要使用这些塑料的杯子。故F项符合。
小题2:E Helen想利用繁忙的交通来生产电。E项中Israel's Technion Institute of Technology claims that if we placed special generators ( 发电机 ) under roads, railways, and runways—we could harvest enough energy to mass-produce electricity.说明正好符合这一小题。
小题3:A Catherine想建设一个没有汽车的社区。A项中Most streets are free of vehicles, and there are generous green spaces and good public-transport links, including fast buses and bicycle paths. 所提及的内容与小题3:恰好是吻合的。
小题4:C Elizabeth想使用可回收的材料和节能体系来建房子。C项中的Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of South Park, have built a sustainable castle with outer siding and inner flooring of recycled wood, recycled carpeting, high-efficiency boiler systems.的内容恰好符合她的研究方向。
小题5:D Levin想开发一种城市里使用的节能的汽车。D项中This little P-NUT is unique. With a central driving position, the car is designed to move in tight settings. The  11-foot micro car will seat three with two rear-seat passengers behind the driver.说明这两者的理念是一致的。
点评:此类文章重在把握上下文之间的逻辑关系,通过前后的意思连贯性及细致性用心的答题,定能完成的很好。本题要特别注意文章中的关键的信息的识别和匹配。

What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red?  小题1:  . Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist(悲观者). At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings.  小题2:  .If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
 小题3:  .

An allowance(零花钱)is an important tool for teaching kids how to budget, save and make their own decision. Children remember and learn from mistakes when their own dollars are lost or spent foolishly. 
How large an allowance is appropriate? Experts say there is not a right amount. Actually amounts differ from region to region, and from family to family.
To set an appropriate allowance for your child, work out a weekly budget. Allow for entertainment expenditures(花费) such as movies and snacks. Next, include everyday expenses such as lunch money, bus fare, school supplies. “If you make the child responsible for these bills,” Says Josephine Swanson, a consumer specialist, “he or she will learn to budget for necessary expenditures.”
Finally, add some extra money to make saving possible. If you can, keep your child’s allowance in line with that of his friends. A child whose purchasing power falls away below his peer’s can feel left out.
It can be tough, but avoid excusing your children when they make a mistake with their allowance. When Brooke Stephens was ten, her mother gave her $1, 75% of which for bus fare and lunch. “If you lose your money,” Brooke’s mother told her, “you walk home.”
    One week the girl spent all her allowance in a candy store, then she called home for a ride. “Mom made me walk home.” recalled Stephens, now a financial planner. “ At first I was angry, but I finally realized that she was trying to teach me an important lesson.”
Experts advise that an allowance not be tied directly to child’s daily chores(日常家务).
Kids should help around the house not because they get paid for it but because they share responsibilities as members of a family. You might, however, pay a child for doing extra jobs at home that can develop his or her initiative.
An Allowance
The passage mainly discusses how to teach a child about  1.
As an important tool, an allowance teaches children how to budget, save and make their ___2___.
Josephine Swanson suggests that you should work out a budget for your child  3  .
If you make the child  4  for these bills, he or she will learn to budget for necessary expenditures.”
The author thinks that you should keep your child’s allowance in line with that of  5__.

At first she felt  8 , but she finally realized that her mother was trying to teach her an important lesson.

Any car accident is frightening, but an accident in which your vehicle is thrown into the water, with you trapped inside, is absolutely terrifying.   1  However, most deaths result from panic, without a plan or understanding what is happening to the car in the water. By adopting a brace (支撑) position, acting decisively and getting out fast, you can save yourself from a sinking vehicle.
Brace yourself for impact (撞击力). As soon as you're aware that you're going off the road and into a body of water, adopt a brace position. The impact could set off the airbag system in your vehicle, so you should place both hands on the steering wheel in the "ten and two" position.
Undo your seatbelt.   2  Untie the children, starting with the oldest first. Forget the cell phone call. Your car isn't going to wait for you to make the call.
  3  Leave the door alone at this stage and concentrate on the window. A car's electrical system should work for up to three minutes in water, so try the method of opening it electronically first. Many people don't think about the window as an escape option either because of panic or misinformation about doors and sinking.
Break the window. If you aren't able to open the window, or it only opens halfway, you'll need to break it with an object or your foot. It may feel counter-intuitive (有悖常理的) to let water into the car.   4    
Escape when the car has equalized. If it has reached the dramatic stage where the car cabin has been filled with water and it has become balanced, you must move quickly and effectively to ensure your survival.   5  While there is still air in the car, take slow, deep breaths and focus on what you're doing.
A. Open the window as soon as you hit the water.
B. Surviving a sinking car is not as difficult as you think.
C. It takes 60 to 120 seconds for a car to fill up with water usually.
D. Such accidents are particularly dangerous to the risk of drowning.
E. In conclusion, if you know what to do in the water, you will be safe.
F. This is the first thing to attend to, yet it often gets forgotten in the panic.
G. But the sooner the window is open, the sooner you can escape directly through it.
