    We already know the fastest, least expensive way to slow climate change: Use less energy. With a little
    effort, and not much money, most of us could reduce our energy diets by 25 percent or more-doing the
    Earth a favor while also helping our wallets.
    Not long age. My wife, PJ, and I tried a new diet-not to lose a little weight but to answer an annoying
    question about climate change. Scientists have reported recently that theworld is bending up even faster
    than predicted    only a few years ago, and that the consequences could be severe if we don't keep reducing
    emissions (排放) of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases that are trapping heat in our
    atmosphere.
    We decided to try an experiment. For one month we recorded our personal emissions of CO2. We
    wanted to see how much we could cut back, so we went on a strict diet. The average US household (家
    庭) produces about 150 pounds of CO2a day by doing common-place things like turning on air-conditioning
    or driving cars. That's more than twice the European average and almost five times the global average,
    mostly because Americans drive more and have bigger houses. But how much should we try to reduce?
    For an answer, I checked with Tim Flannery, author of The Weather Makers: How Man Is Changing
    the Climate and What It Means for Life on Earth. In his book, he had challenged readers to make deep cuts
    in personal emissions to keep the world from reaching extremely important tipping points, such as the
    melting (融化) of the ice sheets in Greenland or West Antarctica. "To stay below that point, we need to
    reduce CO2emissions by 80 percent," he said.
    Good advice, I thought. I'd opened our bedroom windows to let in the wind. We'd gotten so used to
    keeping our air-conditioning going around the clock. I'd almost forgotten the windows even opened. We
    should not let this happen again. It's time for us to change our habits if necessary.
    1. Why did the author and his wife try a new diet?
    A. To take special kinds of food
    B. To respond to climate change
    C. To lose weight
    D. To improve their health
    2. The underlined words "tipping points" most probably refer to _____.
    A. freezing points
    B. burning points
    C. melting points
    D. boiling points
    3. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
    A. it is necessary to keep the air-conditioning on all the time
    B. it seems possible for every household to cut emissions of CO2
    C. the average US household produces about 3,000 pounds of CO2a month
    D. the average European household produces about 1,000 pounds of CO2a month
    4. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
    A. Saving Energy Starts at Home
    B. Changing Habits Begins at Work
    C. Changing Climate Sounds Reasonable
    D. Reducing Emissions of CO2Proves Difficult

  • 健康环保类阅读

健康环保累阅读概念：

健康环保类文章常是介绍科学知识、生活常识和环境保护方面的短文。体裁有记叙文、 说明文、议论文和各种应用文。


健康环保类文章阅读技巧：

       健康环保类文章常是介绍科学知识、生活常识和环境保护方面的短文。阅读此类短文要以现象或事物为中心进行思考，理解现象产生的原因、条件和客观规律等。同时要抓住事物的特征、用途和相互关系等。科普环保类文章一般为说明文，从结构上看大致可分为三个部分：
       第一部分一般是文章的首段，主要用来提出文章的主题，即文章想要阐述、说明的主要内容；
       第二部分是文章的主体，可由若干个段落组成，对文章的主题进行展开说明；
       第三部分是结尾段，对文章的主题进行归纳总结。这类文章多用一般现在时，而且一般多使用客观性词语表述。有时为了强调客观性，也常使用被动语态。
       从近几年的考试题来看，科普环保类的文章越来越与人们的实际生活相接近。由于此类文章缺乏故事情节，很多同学对此类文章感到费解。但一般的科普类文章都是就事论事，需要逻辑推理和想象的时候较少，因此此类阅读题也没有同学们想象中的那么难，只要多加训练，就能较好地答题。
【阅读策略】
1、概要(Summarizing)：
      阅完材料后，将所阅材料浓缩，摘要，做出所阅材料的书面或口头梗概。
2、组织(Organization)：
      阅读后根据阅读内容，识别观点、人物、事件之间的关系以及文章的结构关系。如：时间关系、比较或对比关系、相关关系及因果关系等。
