Passage B:说明文-Carbon footprint

Topic sentence
Passage B In my everyday life, I am on an ongoing
journey to figure out different ways to
reduce my carbon footprint on the planet.
But one question has been on my mind a lot
lately: is it better to buy new eco-friendly
products or used traditionally produced
goods?
After doing some research, I have
decided that some things are better new
and others are better used. Let me try to
explain.
24. What is the text mainly about?
A. What appliances to buy to save energy.
B. What a carbon footprint means in our life.
C. How to identify different carbon footprints.
D. How to make eco-friendly lifestyle choices.
In my everyday life, I am on an ongoing journey to figure out different ways to reduce my carbon footprint on the planet. A
carbon footprint is the measure of influence our activities have on the environment, in particular climate change. It is calculated by
the amount of greenhouse gas we produce in our daily lives. Fortunately, nowadays it is much easier to make eco-friendly lifestyle
choices than, let’s say, 20 years ago. But one question has been on my mind a lot lately: is it better to buy new eco-friendly products or
used traditionally produced goods?
After doing some research, I have decided that some things are better new and others are better used. Let me try to explain.
A carbon footprint is made up of two parts, the primary footprint and the secondary footprint. The primary footprint is a
measure of our direct emissions (排放) of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the burning of fuels, including household energy consumption
and transportation. The secondary footprint is a measure of the indirect CO2 emissions from the whole lifecycle of products we use —
those related to their production and breakdown.
Based on this understanding, we have a good deal of control and responsibility over our carbon footprint. Things like dishes,
clothes and furniture fall into the “secondary footprint” group, so less is more and we can focus on finding used goods to avoid the
added production. However, for the car and the other appliances (设备) that we need we can go with new, energy-saving models. I
heard somewhere that electronics and appliances give off 90% of their carbon footprint after they leave the factory. So it seems most
reasonable to go for the energy-saving models. The main concern here is the amount of energy that goes into the making of new
products and whether or not that extra carbon is worth the footprint the product will make once it gets to you.
Structure analysis
P1 Put forward the question
P2-3 Findings
P4 How to make sensible choices
27. “The footprint” underlined in the last sentence refers to the
CO2 produced in ________.
A. using the product B. recycling the product
C. making the product D. transporting the product

language is the world which it opens up to you. This is a world of diverse sources
of information, from newspapers and books to TV, radio, music and even real
people. Would you limit yourself to one medium in your native

Italian to the support from Jim, my partner in study time. Find a friend to

This happened when I was ten. On a normal Sunday, I went to the barber shop where I
always went. That day, along with the barber there was an assistant, who had recently 41
the shop.
So I sat for the haircut. The uncle asked me how 42 I wanted it. I answered, “Just do
as my dad had 43 you the last time.”
He smiled. Before starting the 44 , he added, “What if I keep it long?”
I 45 he was joking. So I joked too. I said, “I can’t 46 what would happen to your
shop then!”
The moment I said it, the assistant 47 from behind. “How dare you say that! Who are
you / to take us down, eh?”
I admit I was too 48 at that moment and the uncle standing beside me was giving me
an 49 look.
From that day on, I 50 stopped joking about anyone’s profession and works. It is one

主旨大意:What should high school seniors
consider when choosing a college.
设空类型:有提示词6,无提示词4
Like many other students, you may have various people, 56
(include) family members and friends, giving input on your college
decision.
While many of your trusted relatives and peers (同龄人)may
have very 57 (value) advice that can help you to make the decision,
finally the choice is yours and yours alone. Only you can fully
realize which aspects of a college will make you truly happy and 58
(satisfy), so keep that at the front of your mind.
56. including,考查介词。动词的词性转换成介词including,包括的含义。
57. valuable,考查形容词。应该用形容词作定语,所以把value改为形容词,因此要用
valuable。
58. satisfied,考查形容词。应该用形容词和happy作并列宾补,因此要用valuable。
Moreover, fully consider each option. It can be easy __59_ (let) a particular school
become a front-runner early on __60__ your decision-making process, and it may even
become the winning choice 一 but be sure to carefully evaluate every school __61__ has
accepted you, since you had particular reasons for applying to each school.
59. to let,考查动词不定式。 it是句子形式主语,所以空格处确个不定式作真正主语,因
此要用to let。
60. in,考查介词。文中的意思是在你早期的决策过程中,因此要用in。
61. that,考查定语从句。 空格处是限制性定语从句,修饰先行词 every school,从句
缺少宾语并且指代物,而且先行词又被 every修饰, 所以用关系代词,因此要用that。
early on 早期
当先行词前有last, next, only,very
等词修饰时关系代词只能用that
定语从句中关系代词只能用that,不能用which的情况
1.当先行词为everything、all、little、much、none等不定代词时
There is nothing that can stop him from doing it.
2.当先行词既包含人又包含物时,只能用引导词that。
They are talking of the stars and their apperances that interest them.
3.当先行词前有 last、next、only、very等词修饰时,只能用引导词that。
The only person that he can remember is his mother.
4. 当先行词为形容词最高级或被形容词最高级修饰时, 只能用引导词that。
This is the most interesting story book that I have ever read.
Do keep_62_ open mind. Students can change majors, but remember that there’s no re-
living a certain semester (学期),and there’s no making up for lost time. Don’t go to a school
63 (specific) for a high school relationship 64 to make someone else happy. A 65 (student)
college experience is his or her own, and the student must put his or her education first.
62. an,考查冠词。keep an open mind翻译成保持开放的心态,因此要用an。
63. specifically,考查副词。 因此要用specifically
64. or,考查连词。not…or,根据句义此处用or翻译也不是,因此要用or。
65.student’s,考查名词所有格来修饰college experience,因此要用是student’s。
