解答 16---20 FDGBE
16.F 細節(jié)題.根據(jù)第一句話Americans waste energy every year,from electronics using too much power,uneaten foods and many other preventable causes可知,美國人每年都浪費很多能源,從電子到食物等,這是一個現(xiàn)象,所以下句應(yīng)該是提出解決的辦法,即F.
17.D 細節(jié)題.根據(jù)Open the dishwasher door and allow dishes to air dry可知,打開洗碗機,讓碟子等自然干,后面對應(yīng)提到open the door,故選D.
18.G 細節(jié)題.根據(jù)該段的小標(biāo)題In the Bathroom可知,是建議在浴室里的情況,所以If you are decorate your bathroom…符合 語境.
19.B 概括題.根據(jù)后句Composting (堆肥) will break down leftover vegetables and paper products and turn them into a usable…可知,提到的是關(guān)于肥料的事情,故選B.
20.E 細節(jié)題.該段的小標(biāo)題是At the Office,建議是在辦公室里的節(jié)約措施,故選E.
