Question

Sometimes people call ours a “throwaway society”. That means that we’re always throwing away old things and buying new ones. Many times, you no longer need something, but someone else may just need to buy one. For example, if your baby doesn’t like his toy car any longer, why not give it to a nearly family who has a little kid? That’s one less plastic toy car that they need to buy. It’s also one less plastic toy that needs to be produced, packaged and shipped to the toy store.

Here are some other ways to help save resources (资源)for the society:

★Use the other side of the paper.

★Use rechargeable (可再充电的) batteries for your electric toys, MP3 players, cell phones, and cameras.

★ Choose reusable travel cups instead of disposable (一次性的) paper or plastic cups.

★Take your own cloth shopping bags when you go shopping.

★ Drink tap water instead of buying bottled water.

And there are some things you can exchange with your friends, for example, books, toys, even clothes. It's a way for everyone to get something new without spending any money and without throwing many things away.

【解析】【主旨大意】：本文是说明文。本文介绍了节约能源的几种方式。

1.词义猜测题    根据下文内容可知“抛弃社会”指的是“我们的社会”。故此处句意：有时候人们叫我们的社会一个抛弃社会。可判断选A。

2.细节理解题    由第二段 “Here are some other ways to help save resources for the society.”可知上文所提到的是为社会节约资源。故选D。

3.逻辑推理  本文主要要讲了节约资源的一些方式，提倡我们把自己不用的东西送给别人，我们可以使用一些可循环利用的物品。所以C 选项错误。

4.主旨大意题    本文只要讲了一些节约资源的一下方式，提倡尽可能的把自己不用的送给需要的人，提倡我们使用可循环利用的物品，尽可能的减少浪费。

难句释解: That’s one less plastic toy car that they need to buy. 那就少买一个他们需要的塑料玩具汽车。

It’s also one less plastic toy that needs to be produced, packaged and shipped to the toy show. 那也就少了一个需要生产，包装与运送到玩具展的一个塑料小汽车了。
