Answer 1

小題1:A
小題2:C
小題3:B
小題4:C

文章大意：氣候變暖和我們每個人都息息相關(guān)。從現(xiàn)在做起，從我們自己做起。
小題1:答案：A　主旨大意題。由文章第一段最后一句話可知，環(huán)境變化與我們每個人都息息相關(guān)。
小題2:答案：C　猜測詞義題。為鼓勵人們使用節(jié)能燈，許多政府對人們使用節(jié)能燈給予補(bǔ)助。因此畫線詞是“給予補(bǔ)助”的意思。
小題3:答案：B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第三段第一句話“Agriculture accounts for about 14 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions (排放) , and transporting the food around adds to the environmental cost.”可知，B項正確；由第二段最后一句話可知，顧客們發(fā)現(xiàn)使用節(jié)能燈從長遠(yuǎn)看是合算的，所以A項錯誤；由第二段第一句話可知，Nicaragua的人們使用節(jié)能燈，沒有提到步行或者騎自行車，所以C項錯誤；由倒數(shù)第二段第一句話可知，D選錯誤，只是提到一位大學(xué)生使用環(huán)保袋。
小題4:答案：C　推理判斷題。由最后一段可知，Adam Wilson有節(jié)能的好習(xí)慣。
