河南省新乡县高级中学2020-2021学年高一英语下学期第二次月考 试题 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） A Here are 5actions you can take to make adifference to our environment 1. Use fewer napkins. The next time you’re eating, don’t take abunch of napkins when you need only one. If every American used an average of one less napkin every day, it would prevent the use of more than abillion pounds of napkins —enough to fill the Empire State Building —from ending up in landfills. Use fewer napkins, and you’ll cut down on waste. 2. Think before flushing. Don’t flush wastefully. By avoiding just one flush aday, you could save about 4.5 gallons of water. That’s as much water as the average person in Africa uses to bathe, drink, clean, and cook for an entire day. 3. Avoid wasting food. Eat Thanksgiving Leftover-Don’t let them spoil. If every US household reduced food waste by the weight of.one slice of bread, the money saved would be enough to pay for three meals aday for ayear for every homeless child in the U.S. 4. Kick off the shoes Leave your shoes at the door when you come into your home. Unwanted fertilizers, lead, and poisonous cleaners found on outdoor surfaces can hitch a ride on your shoes and track through your house. 5. Save energy When you go out, try to use public transport. If you close the bathroom door when you take abath, you will keep the room warmer, your bath water’s heat stays trapped in the bathroom. The water also stays hotter and longer, so you don’t need to add more hot water. Save energy: Close the door. 1. Suppose you and your parents all reduce one flush aday, how much water will be saved? A. About 9gallons of water. B. About 14 gallons of water. C. About 16 gallons of water. D. About 11 gallons of water. 2. What do the underlined words “hitch aride” mean in the passage? A. Be stuck.B.
