【题目】How to drive greener

Buying green can produce great benefits and so can small changes in your driving behavior. 【1】

1. Avoid aggressive driving. Sudden starts and aggressive driving can waste your gas. 【2】 That’s because just one second of high-powered driving can produce the same level of CO as 30 minutes of normal driving.

2. 【3】 A lot of us like to push the speedometer up to 75 miles per hour on the highway. However, slowing down to 65 miles per hour can increase your fuel economy by up to 10 percent and reduce the amount of pollution coming from your car.

3. Plan ahead. When possible, plan your trips to avoid the stop-and-go of rush hour. And remember to pack all of your tasks into one trip since a warmed-up engine produces fewer emissions (排放物).

4. Pay attention at the gas station. Don’t overfill your gas tank or try to top it off because spilled (溢出) gas changes into mixture of fog and smoke and can pollute groundwater. When you are finished filling up, be sure you tighten your gas cap. 【4】

5. Park smart. Parking your car in the shade not only helps you avoid feeling very hot in your car, but it helps minimize evaporation (蒸发) of fuel.

6. 【5】 By walking, cycling or public transport, you will make a big difference for our planet. Leave your car at home just two days a week. And you will help cut greenhouse gas emissions by 1,500 pounds a year.

A. Change the oil.

B. Slow down.

C. Leave your car at home.

D. And this type of driving behavior adds to pollution.

E. In this way you can save as much as 30 gallons a year.

F. The following advice can help you save gas and contribute to the well-being of our planet.

G. Parking in your garage when possible to cut down on summer heat and keep off frost in the winter.

【4】E

【5】C

【解析】文章主要讲述了如何更加环保，给出了我们几点建议。

【1】考查对上下文理解及推理判断能力。句意：下面的建议可以帮助你节约汽油，促进地球的健康。根据下文中的几点建议，可知此处引出下文。根据题意，故选F。

【2】考查对上下文理解及推理判断能力。句意：这种类型的驾驶行为，增加了对环境的污染。根据下文“That’s because just one second of high-powered driving can produce the same level of CO as 30 minutes of normal driving.” 这是因为只有一秒钟的高性能驾驶可以产生与正常行驶30分钟相同的一氧化碳水平。可知这种类型的行驶会对环境造成污染。根据题意，故选D。

【3】考查对上下文理解及推理判断能力。句意：慢下来。根据下文“However, slowing down to 65 miles per hour can increase your fuel economy by up to 10 percent and reduce the amount of pollution coming from your car.” 然而，减速至每小时65英里可以使你的燃油经济性提高10%，并减少汽车排放的污染量。可知该段主要讲述的是减速。根据题意，故选B。

【4】考查对上下文理解及推理判断能力。句意：在这种方式可以节省高达30加仑一年。根据上文“Don’t overfill your gas tank or try to top it off because spilled (溢出) gas changes into mixture of fog and smoke and can pollute groundwater. When you are finished filling up, be sure you tighten your gas cap”不要让油箱太满或溢出来，溢出来的汽油会变成混合气体，可能会污染地下水，当你加满油后，确保拧紧油盖。可推知这样可以节省能源。前后为因果关系。根据题意，故选E。

【5】考查对上下文理解及推理判断能力。句意：把你的车留在家里。根据下文“Leave your car at home just two days a week. And you will help cut greenhouse gas emissions by 1,500 pounds a year.” 把你的车停在家里只是一周两天。你将有助于减少温室气体排放量。根据题意，故选C。
