【分析】
本题分为两部分,(一)是阅读理解选择题,解题时需先通读短文把握主旨,再针对每个小题回到原文定位信息或结合选项排除错误项;(二)是环保常识题,需掌握相关节日日期及意义。
【解析】
(一)1. 短文围绕保护环境的具体做法展开,属于环保提议,A选项“标志”、C选项“故事”均不符合,故选B。
2. 原文明确提到要将垃圾扔进垃圾桶,B选项“把脏水倒进湖”、C选项“刷牙时开着水龙头”均与原文相悖,故选A。
3. 原文要求离开房间时关灯,因此不能让灯处于“开着”的状态,A选项“关着”、B选项“在…里”不符合,故选C。
4. 短文核心是介绍保护环境的方法,A选项“节约树木”、B选项“节约用水”仅为部分内容,C选项“保护环境”是主旨,故选C。
(二)1. 世界环境日的固定日期是6月5日,即5th June;2. 地球日与世界环境日的意义是呼吁保护地球,故填protect the Earth(答案合理即可)。
