本文的语篇类型为报刊社论，属于新闻评论的一种，主要是对当前社会中的某一现象进行评论。报刊社论一般是在客观事实的基础上，通过分析说理，直接表明作者的思想观点。本文作为一篇报刊社论，主要介绍了生活中常见的关于环境保护的几个认识误区，引导学生对所谓的生活常识持批判的态度。
新闻类文本通常有大、小标题，标题一般醒目、突出，通常能很好地概括文本内容。分析大、小标题，有助于厘清作者的观点。如本文大标题以设问的方式引领读者思考什么是真正的环保，同时点明本文的主题是讨论“什么是真正的环保”。本文的四个小标题点明了环保的四个误区，照应大标题“哪些才是真正的环保做法？”，使文章内容一目了然。
(一)赏用词之妙
1．But recently, some “green truths” have been shown to be only half true, or even completely false.
赏析：本句中使用副词only和even，强调了人们对“绿色环保真相”的了解存在误区。
2．Plastic bags cause litter and are a danger to wild animals, which mistake them for food.
赏析：本句中抽象名词danger表示具体意义，意为“危险的东西”，其前加了冠词a，使表意更形象和具体；短语mistake ... for的使用，增添了语言的活力和生动性。
3．When we turn off a device, such as television, it goes into stand by mode.
赏析：stand by意为“备用的”，本句中的stand by mode在此表示“待机模式”，用词形象贴切，与动词短语go into搭配使用，使表达更具体，形象直观。
①_______________ ignored that simple rule.
甚至最优秀的人也忽略了那条简单的规则。
②Smoking is ______________________ health.
吸烟严重危害健康。
③Your reservation is already ______________________.
你的预订已经在候补名单里了。
　　　
(二)赏句式之高
1．It is the production of food, not its transport, that uses most of the energy and produces most of the greenhouse gases.
赏析：本句中使用了强调句型，突出了the production of food(食物的生产过程)消耗的能源更多，制造的温室气体更多。
2．In some cases, local produce might have used more energy and produced more greenhouse gases than produce grown a long way away — even taking into account its transport.
赏析：本句中使用情态动词加完成时态might have used表示一种可能性和对过去情况的推测，表达客观严谨，避免了绝对化。
3．If you spend more than eight minutes in a shower, you'll use as much water as in a bath — about 50 litres of water.
赏析：本句中使用了as much water as ...这一比较结构，直观具体地说明了长时间淋浴浪费的水量。 as ... as意为“和……一样”，常用于同级比较。
4．Therefore, the key is to keep your shower time as short as possible.
赏析：本句中的as short as possible表达简洁有力，强调了应尽量缩短淋浴的时间以达到节水的目的。as ... as possible 意为“尽可能……”，常用于表达督促之意。
①______________________________________ the climber was rescued.
正是在当地导游的帮助下，那位登山者得以获救。
②The boy ____________________ the truth, but I am not quite sure.
这个男孩也许知道真相，但我不是很确定。
③Although there was not____________________________I was used to, it was still challenging.
尽管作业不像以前那么繁重，却仍旧很有挑战性。
④You had better make your speech ____________________.
你最好让你的演讲尽可能地精简。
　　　
(三)赏逻辑之巧
本文标题使用了问句What's really green？引起读者兴趣的同时也引发其对环保主题进行深层次思考。第一段尾句Which are really green？呼应标题，以问句导入主体部分。同时，正文之中又使用了四个问句作为小标题，引领文章内容层层展开。全文由这些问句串联在一起，内容过渡自然、衔接顺畅，且对主题的探究更为透彻、深入。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
When Simon Cane was in the second grade, he began learning about all the ways humans have an impact on the environment and really took those classroom lessons to heart in a way that set him apart from his schoolmates at his elementary school, P．S.81, in the Bronx.“He told me we drove too much and made too much
pollution，” his dad, Jonathan Cane, told Runner's World.So Simon convinced his parents to start hanging their clothes to dry, taking the stairs instead of elevators, and other “green” measures.
“For much of kindergarten and first grade I rode my bike to Simon's school with him on the back，”Jonathan said.“We had a lot of fun being outdoors.We'd stop to give our dog treats and generally enjoyed it.” As Simon got bigger, though, it wasn't practical for him to
ride on his father's back, but it also didn't make sense to ride together — both because of safety concerns and because there was no place to put away Simon's bike.So, most of the time they drove the 1.5 miles to school.
But in 2019, when Simon was going into third grade, the 8-year-old came up with a new way to help the planet: running the 1.5 miles to P．S.81.And Jonathan promised his son he'd join him for as long as he wanted.
“We did a test run one day in August, and decided to give it a go.To be honest, I thought he'd blink (眨眼) after it got really cold or rainy, but he never did，” Jonathan said.He recalled one day when the weather was particularly bad.“It's really raining out there today，” he told Simon.“And Simon said, ‘Well then we're going to get wet！’ He took pride in toughing it out, and it became a really fun family routine.”
Since the start, Simon has run with his dad and their black dog, Lola, and has even inspired his mom, Nicole Sin Quee, to join in.They soon became known as “the family that runs to school”．

Currently, there are about 480,000 school buses operating today in the United States. These petrol-fueled school buses alone contribute 5.3 million tons of climate-changing pollution every year. Replacing all school buses in America with an electric-powered model would be equal to taking 1 million cars off the road, saving millions of tons of pollution annually.
If schools in America were to swap out all of these school buses with electric-powered replacements, it would have not only plenty of environmental benefits, but also many health benefits for the students taking school buses every week.
Not only do these hundreds of thousands of buses have terrible effects on the environment, they also have harmful health consequences for the students riding the bus every day. Approximately 95 percent of school buses run on gas, which is proven to cause respiratory diseases and worsen existing conditions such as asthma.
“Pollution from petrol-fueled school buses is harming our children's health and contributing significantly to global warming，” said Andrea McGimsey, Environment America Global Warming Director. “Our research shows that whether they're boarding the bus or on the bus, kids are exposed to poisonous air in high concentrations. Electrifying our buses is a common-sense solution for communities across the nation.”
These electric school buses are already available for schools to consider. They are cleaner, healthier, and often cheaper for schools to purchase in place of petrol-fueled buses in the long run. Electric school buses have zero exhaust-pipe emissions, which could help reduce kids' exposure to poisonous air on a daily basis.
“When we put our kids on a school bus, we rely on these buses for safe transportation，” said Jeff Robinson, director of US PIRG's transportation program. “We have the technology to avoid these negative influences, so why wouldn't we drive toward a cleaner future？”
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了以汽油为燃料的校车不仅对环境造成了严重的影响，而且对每天乘坐校车的学生的健康也产生了有害的影响。对此，学校考虑使用电动校车这种更清洁的运输工具，同时介绍了电动校车的好处。
5．What do the statistics in Paragraph 1 imply
A．The urgency of using electric school buses.
B．The popularity of petrol-fueled buses.
C．The necessity of limiting school buses.
D．The benefit of riding school buses.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段“Replacing all school buses ...pollution annually.”可推知，第一段中的统计数字表明了使用电动校车的紧迫性。
6．What can we learn from Paragraphs 3 & 4
A．The negative impacts of petrol-fueled buses.
B．Students' exposure to different diseases.
C．Tons of pollution caused by school buses.
D．The consequences of global warming.
解析：细节理解题。根据第三、四段内容可知，第三段和第四段指出了以汽油为燃料的校车的负面影响。
√
7．What is Jeff Robinson's attitude to electric school buses
A．Skeptical. B．Supportive.
C．Cautious. D．Fearful.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中“We have the technology to avoid ...toward a cleaner future？”可推知，杰夫·罗宾逊对电动校车持支持态度。
√
8．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Problems of the Current School Buses
B．An Alternative Transportation, a Cleaner Future
C．Benefits for Students Riding School Buses
D．A Temporary Replacement, a Permanent Solution
√
解析：标题归纳题。根据第二段内容以及最后一段中“We have the technology to ... a cleaner future？”可知，文章主要说明了以汽油为燃料的校车不仅对环境造成了严重的影响，而且对每天乘坐校车的学生的健康也产生了有害的影响。对此，学校考虑使用电动校车这种更清洁的运输工具。由此可知，B选项最适合作文章标题。

Solutions to Climate Change
There are personal lifestyle changes that you can make and that, to some extent, can help reduce your carbon impact.Not all are right for everybody.But applying just a few of them could make a difference.
Move closer to work.
Transportation is one of the leading sources of greenhouse gas emissions. 9 One way to dramatically cut transportation fuel needs is to move closer to work, use mass transportation, or switch to walking, cycling or some other modes of transport that does not require anything other than human energy.
Consume less.
10 Whether by quitting an automobile or employing a reusable grocery sack, cutting back on consumption results in fewer fossil fuels being burned to extract, produce and ship products around the globe.
11
A potentially simpler and even bigger effect can be produced by doing more with less.Citizens of many developed countries are energy-wasters, whether by speeding in a gas-wasting vehicle or leaving the lights on when not in a room.Similarly, employing more efficient refrigerators, air conditioners and other appliances can cut electricity bills. 12 You can turn the lights or your computers off when you leave the office.
Stop cutting down trees.
When purchasing wood products, such as furniture or flooring, buy used goods or, failing that, wood proved officially to have been sustainably harvested.The Amazon rainforest and other forests are more than the lung of the earth. 13
A．Be energy efficient.
B．Use few electrical appliances.
C．But it doesn't have to be that way.
D．Such efforts can also be usefully employed at work.
E．They may also be humans' short-term hope for limiting climate change.
F．The easiest way to cut back on greenhouse gas emissions is simply to buy less stuff.
G．Citizens spend more money on electricity to power devices when they're off than when they're on.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几种可以减少碳足迹的日常生活方式。
9．选C　根据上一句“交通运输是温室气体的主要来源之一”及下一句可知，有很多方法可以减少交通运输，交通运输造成温室气体排放的问题是可以控制的。C项“但不一定要那样”承上启下，符合语境。
10．选F　根据本段标题“Consume less.”可知，本段介绍第二个减少碳足迹的方法：减少购买。F项“减少温室气体排放的最简单的方法是少买东西”与标题及本段内容一致。
11．选A　考查本段的小标题。根据下文可知，本段的内容是通过使用高效能的电器减少电的浪费。A项“能源高效”能概括下文。
12．选D　根据下一句“你可以在离开办公室时关灯或关闭电脑”可知，D项“在工作中也可以想方设法减少耗电量”符合语境。
13．选E　根据上一句“亚马逊雨林和其他森林不仅仅是地球的肺”可知，树木对人类的重要性。E项“它们也可能是人类为了限制气候变化的短期希望”说明树木有助于控制气候变化，与上文内容一致。上一句中的“more than”和E项中的“also”呼应。UNIT 6　课时检测(四)　“Developing ideas”的课文习读环节
