SectionA2d

采访者：贾森和苏珊，对于解决这些问题，你们有什么想法?

贾森：为了减少空气污染，我们应该乘坐公共汽车或者地铁，而不是开车。

苏珊：是的，或者骑自行车。骑自行车还有别的好处，它对健康有益而且不用花钱。

采访者：好主意!那么，垃圾污染呢?

苏珊：嗯，我认为一些生活小事有助于减少垃圾污染，比如自带袋子去购物。我去年就这样做了。

贾森：我也是。还有，我买外卖食品的时候，从来不拿一次性木筷或者塑料叉子。我用家里的餐具。

苏珊：还要把垃圾扔进垃圾桶，保持公共场所的整洁和美丽，(这是)为了每个人。

采访者：所以，我们一起行动，就能影响他人，创造一个更美好的未来。

SectionA,3a

拯救鲨鱼

很多人都听说过鱼翅羹。这道昂贵又著名的菜在中国南方特别流行。但是每次当你喝鱼翅羹的时候，你是否意识到你杀了一整只鲨鱼?

当人们捕捉到鲨鱼的时候，他们切掉鲨鱼的鱼鳍，然后把它们扔回大海。失去鱼鳍的鲨鱼再也不能再水里游，会慢慢死去。这种做法不仅残忍，而且对环境有害。鲨鱼处于海洋生态系统食物链的顶端，如果他们的数量下降得太多，将会给所有的海洋生物带来危害。很多人认为鲨鱼永远不会濒临灭绝，因为他们是食物链的最强者。但事实上，每年有七百万的鲨鱼被捕杀和交易。在过去的20年到30年，某些品种的鲨鱼数量下降了超过90%。

世界各地的环保组织，如野生救援协会和世界自然基金会，都在向公众宣讲“猎翅的(残忍)行为。他们甚至已经呼吁政府立法停止鱼翅的销售。到目前为止，没有任何科学研究表明，鱼翅对健康有好处，那么为什么要吃他们呢?帮助拯救鲨鱼吧!

SectionB,2b

重新思考重新使用，重新利用

你经常扔掉你不在使用的东西吗?你是否曾想过这些东西还能很好地重新利用?如果你有一个充满创意的头脑，没有东西是废品。

你可能从来没听说过艾米.海斯，但她是一个非常不寻常的女性。她住在英国，房子是她自己用废弃物建造而成的。窗户和房门来自小镇周围拆毁的房子。房子的顶部是一条翻转过来的旧木船。房子的大门是岩石和旧玻璃瓶搭建的。艾米最近获得了“救助我们的星球”协会颁发的奖项。协会主席说：“艾米给了我们所有人的一个启示!”

艾米不是唯一一个善于废物利用的人。来自香港的杰西卡.王常利用人们不再穿的旧衣服来制作背包，她已经这么做了好几年了。她开了一家小店出售她制作的包，还在网上出售它们。她特别喜欢用旧牛仔来制作手提包。她制作的包即可爱又实用。“我计划写一本关于用新方法来改造旧衣服的书，”她说，“我希望人们能阅读我的书并且喜欢它。”

四年前，王涛开始在上海经营小生意。他因使用旧车的钢铁和其他材料来制作艺术品而闻名。有些(艺术品)很庞大，看起来像动物或者人，有一些小块的可以摆放在家里。你甚至能在这个城市的艺术商店看到一些更受欢迎的作品。王涛希望能建立一个“金属艺术”主题公园，向人们展示环境保护的重要性。艺术不但可以给人们带来快乐，而且也说明只需要一点创造力，即便是冰冷、坚硬的铁也可产生活力。

中考英语选词填空解题技巧

1.在拿到题目后，不要急于看文章，首先对备选的词汇研究几遍，对词性作简单的标记，例如：名词-n.，动词-v.，形容词-a.，副词-ad.等等。同时对词义作初步的理解。

2.通读全文，语义完整、适用、合乎逻辑是做好填词的前提。通过上、下文的句子，充分理解短文的内容，注意发现固定搭配关系，凭借语感积极主动地猜测空格中所缺的信息，根据需要去备选词汇中寻找匹配的答案。

3.在选定单词后，不要轻率地填入。在填词过程中，需要瞻前顾后，既要符合本句的含义，又要保证句式结构的正确。当你选定一个名词时，要考虑是否要把它变成复数或“所有格”形式。例如：match-matches,friend-friend's/friends'。其他还要考虑名词是否需要变成形容词，例如：sun-sunny,use-useful/useless/used,danger-dangerous;在遇到动词时，要有意识地去考虑时态和语态的变化以及非谓语动词形式的变化(动词不定式-todo,现在分词-doing,过去分词-done,固定搭配-enjoydoingsth./usedtodosth./havesth.done…);形容词和副词填空时要主动去判定是否需要变成比较级或高级，还有它们之间的相互转换以及形容词变名词的需求也需考虑，例如：interesting-more/themostinteresting,happy-happily，happy-happiness;填入代词时，需注意辨别主格、宾格、名词性和形容词性物主代词或反身代词的用法;数词方面要注意基数词和序数词的变化以及分数和虚实数的用法，例如：three-third,2/3-twothirds,onethousand/thousandsof;冠词只需要在a或an之间判别，如agirl/anoldman;当遇到介词和连词时，就更简单，只要符合上下文逻辑或固定短语搭配，填入即可。为了方便记忆，试着记住下面的顺口溜：空前空后要注意，“名词”单复数要牢记，还有's不能弃，“动词”注意要变形，“形副”注意要用三种级，要填“数词”请留意，千万别忘“基”和“序”，填入“代词”需慎重，五格变化要谨记。

4.完成填词后，应通读全文，复核校对。检查单词拼写是否正确，是否有时态、语态、惯用法及词语选用上的错误，以确保答案的正确性。最后把答案填入答卷时，切勿错位。
