Ⅷ.阅读理解(二)(每小题 2 分,共 10 分)
We need to be responsible for our environment. Being a frugal consumer (节俭的消费者) is
one way to help. But, what exactly does that mean?
Use It Up
You can use things up instead of wasting them. Squeeze that last bit of toothpaste out of the
tube. Use the last little piece of soap. Don’t throw away any bits of the biscuit at the bottom of the
box.
Wear It Out
You do not always need to have new things. Suppose your sneakers have broken laces, but
they still fit you. Repair them and wear them longer. You don’t have to have the latest iPhone until
the old one doesn’t work any more. Then you can get a new one. Think twice before replacing
something that still works.
Make It Do
When something you want is not on hand, look for something else that you already have to
A. You can start by turning off the lights.
B. We get a lot of paper at home.
C. You’d better clean your room every day.
D. Turn off the shower.
E. Can I help you?
F. Don’t use plastic bags.
G. Don’t take a bus if you don’t have to.
take its place. Suppose you are packing your lunch for tomorrow and want a butter sandwich. You
are out of butter. Have a cheese sandwich instead so that you can use all of the cheese. Learn to fix
broken toys instead of just throwing them away. With a little thought, you can make something do,
instead of buying something new.
Do Without
Think about all those things that you would like to have. Do you really need them? How long
will you really play with that new toy you saw on TV? Making the things that we want uses up our
world’s resources (资源). And, getting rid of the things we don’t want any more takes up even
more resources and space.
76. Do we need to be responsible for our environment?
77. How do we deal with the last little piece of soap?
78. When do we need to get a new iPhone?
79. What should we do when something we want is not on hand?
80. What does the writer want to tell us?
Ⅸ.词语运用(每小题 1 分,共 10 分)
根据语篇内容,用方框中所给词的正确形式填空,使短文通顺、连贯。方框中有两个词为多
余词。

One bright morning, I decided to clean my house, including 85 the window inside. Late in
the afternoon when I finished all the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest.
How 86 ! I found that the woman’s window was actually so clean that she could 87

That was quite an 88 lesson for me. How often had I looked at others through my own
shortcoming (缺点)!

One possible version:
We are graduating from school soon. I miss so many good friends, especially my best friend—Li
Lei.
Li Lei is a top student. He is outgoing and hard-working. He has a lot of interests and is always ready
to help others. We get on well with each other so we often discuss our study together and he can always
find out new ways to help me work out problems. I’m so proud of him.
I care so much about him that I want to do something meaningful for him. Before leaving school, I’ll
send him a card that I make myself with my best wishes. I hope he will have a bright future and that our
friendship will last forever.
