Question

 On April 22 ,2011,we decided to go "green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things,and it also meant challenging our?selves to go green beyond the easy things. Rather than re?cycle and reduce our energy,we had to think of 365 differ?ent green things to do and this was no easy task.

With the idea of going green every single day for a year,Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.

Over the course of Our Green Year,we completely changed our lifestyles. We now shop at organic (有机的) stores. We consume less meat,choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don't need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice,with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter,enjoying the smell of homemade fresh bread. In our home anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.

Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.

Answer 1

本文描述了作者在2011年4月决定一家人开始力行环保生活一年及环保生活的效果。

19. A主旨大意题。本文主要讲述的是作者一家环保生活的经历和效果。文章多处出现了going green (环保生活) ，所以答案为A项。

20. D细节理解题。由第一段第二句"...challenging ourselves to go green beyond the easy things."可知，此处beyond the easy things (不容易做的事情) 与unusual green tasks是同义的，文章一再强调必须想出365种不同的环保事情来做，这不是件容易的事.故答案为   D.

21. A细节理解题。由第三段可知作者一家完全改变了生活方式，在有机商店购物，少吃肉，尽量少买不需要的东西，不用化学去污剂等，这些都是环保的习惯，与A项概括相一致。

22. B推理判断题。由文章最后一段的"We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet."可知，这对夫妇的环保年很成功，所以他们可能在将来还会继续他们的环保做法。
