三、答案:BDAFG
解析:①分析文章可知,文章采用了总分结构,第一段为总起段,因此最后一句需起到总起作用,引出下文介绍的环保的具体做法,故选B。
②根据第二段第一句 Turn off lights and unplug power strips(电源插板) that you're not using.可知关掉灯或者拔掉电源插头是一件非常简单的节省能源的事,故选D。
③第三段的主旨大意是使用公共交通,A项中提到通过步行、骑自行车或乘坐公交车,可以减少汽油消耗和碳排放,符合第三段的大意。
④根据第四段中的Say no to unnecessary plastic straws, lids, and bags and stop using plastic wrap and plastic containers for food storage.可知要拒绝不必要的塑料吸管、盖子、塑料袋,而且不要使用保鲜膜和塑料容器来储存食物。由此可见F项是本段的主旨,减少塑料和废物。
⑤最后一段提到choose some plants that are rather easy to look after(选择养一些容易照顾的植物)。G项中提到的Lucky Bamboo就是一个特别好的选择,因为它几乎不需要怎么照顾就可以生长。由此可判断G项是对前文的进一步解释,符合语境。
四、答案:①seasons ②Located ③was completed ④were ⑤so ⑥which ⑦of ⑧its ⑨significance ⑩rapidly
解析:①season是可数名词,由空前的different可知,此处指不止一个季节,所以应用复数形式。故填seasons。
②locate在此是非谓语动词作状语,与句子主语the Longji RiceTerraces是逻辑上的被动关系,所以应用过去分词。故填Located。
③complete在此是when引导的定语从句中的谓语动词,与主语是被动关系,叙述的是过去的事情,所以应用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was completed。
④此处是 there be句型,主语是few large, flat areas of land, 所以be动词应用复数形式,且由前面的was可知应用过去式。故填were。
⑤句意为:最重要的是,梯田的设计是如此巧妙,以至于有数百条水路相连…… "so+形容词/副词+ that..." 意为"如此……以至于……"。故填so。
⑥_____, in turn, become rain to irrigate terraces为非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词clouds,引导词在定语从句中作主语,所以应用关系代词。故填which。
⑦句意为:这些梯田是鸟类和鱼类的家园,其中包括一些可以消灭对农作物有害的昆虫的鸟类和鱼类。some of...意为"其中一些……"。故填of。
⑧此处作定语修饰名词scenery,所以应用形容词性物主代词。故填its。
⑨此处在attached 后作宾语,应用名词形式。attach significance to意为"重视;看重"。故填significance。
⑩修饰动词应用副词。故填rapidly。
