阅读理解。 Tips for a Green VacationAh, summer is almost upon us, and that means most American families are longing madly to get out of
town for a week.
Never mind that the economy is in the tank, or that you'll use just under half of your vacation days at
once-it's time to go to the beach! But wait....before you put the kids in that minivan (小面包车) and speed
off: there's a greener way.
Don't Travel as Far
In one of those special instances where environmentalism saves you a ton of money, the simplest piece
of advice is to stay close to home, or, even stay at home, which most Americans aren't likely to follow: if
you live in a major city, there are probably loads of museums, parks, baseball games, and restaurants that
you haven't been to. But if you MUST travel-try to stay within 100-150 miles from home. Your wallet, and
the planet, will thank you.
Find a Green Hotel
This may seem like a strange task, but it's not-check the environmentally friendly hotels. They're standing
ready to assist in your eco-traveling and committed to reducing waste on the planet.
Take the Train
Rail travel isn't quite dead in the U.S.,which is good, because it features some of the lowest pollution of
any form of transport. In order of most polluting, it goes: airplanes, cars, trains, and coach buses-but I don't
believe many people think of Creyhound (美国灰狗巴士) as a good way to get around anymore.
Buy Local Souvenirs
This is hard, seeing how we're nationally addicted to plastic toys, but buy local goods when you travel.
Supporting a local artist doesn't just do more for the economy of the place that you're visiting, and it also cuts
the cost of transporting all of those mass-produced souvenirs. And besides, taking home art, or cooking
ingredients from a place you can't get at home, is far more interesting. 1. What does the underlined phrase "in the tank" mean? A. In good situation.
B. Decreasing rapidly.
C. Increasing rapidly.
D. In a dilemma. 2. We may infer from the passage that the greenest way to enjoy one's summer vacation is to ____. A. stay at home
B. get out of town
C. go to the beach
D. find a green hotel 3. According to the passage, ____ are the least polluting form of transport. A. airplanes

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解。Tips .....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。日常生活类阅读
日常生活类阅读的概念：
日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。
日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：
【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
