If people only go and buy such goods as soap and toilet paper,they may only have to visit once every couple of months. A delivery truck can carry meals for a lot of people in the neighborhood. So dozens of car trips might be replaced with one truck trip.”可知餐盒可以減少對交通排放,運送卡車可以一次給小區(qū)很多人送餐飯,減少交通排放。故選A。 (4)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“However,study found that even if delivery meal kits reduced food waste to zero,they would still use up more energy overall than buying the same food from the supermarket unless the energy used for the meal kit packaging was cut by a fifth.”可知研究表明外賣飯盒比超市買食物會耗費更多的能源;以及“But if the packaging can be reused,if it39。s glass bottles,like in the old days,we can get some benefits.”但是如果這些包裝能夠被再利用,對我們還是會有一些益處的。作者對飯盒的使用是客觀的態(tài)度。故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解,詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查,是一篇環(huán)保類閱讀,考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息,同時根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關系,進行分析,推理,從而選出正確答案。8.閱讀理解 Castle Dale is a small town in central Utah. My grandpa39。s farm is a few miles to the north. I grew up there. Milking a cow, feeding the chickens and cutting firewood were daily routines. Grandpa had me carrying a broom to do snow cleaning when it was actually taller than I was. This was the work kids like me learned to do at a young age. I was tall, very tall at a really young age. My unusual height caused people to look, ask questions, laugh, tease, and sometimes even challenge me to fight. I was teased cruelly as a kid. It wasn39。t fair, I knew, but that was just the way it was. Luckily, I was taught at a very young age a very important lesson. I am different and that39。s Okay—I39。m unique and I matter. No one could ever take that away from me. I knew this then, and I know this now. That alone helped me through the frustrations and heartaches of normal life. When I was in junior high school, I realized something else that helped me cope. Most teasing came from one of two places—people who were either jealous or ignorant (愚昧). I couldn39。t change the way they were, but I could change the way I felt. I was not going to feel bad because of their ignorance or jealousy. It wasn39。t worth it. Realizing this didn39。t stop them, or change the fact that these ments hurt. It did, however, give me a way to understand these people and deal with their treatment in a way that was okay for me. These things still happen today. It will probably happen the rest of my life. I will always be 7 feet, 6 inches ( meters) tall. I wouldn39。t change that for anything. People will always look because it is not every day that you see someone that tall. I learned that at a young age and I now try to teach my own children that they are unique and they matter. That is the message I give to you. Regardless of your race, religion, background, or circumstances ... Being different is okay.(1)The author mentioned his hometown to show us _______.
