阅读理解 The consumer(消费者) plays a very important role in the global efforts to reduce C02 emissions(排放). Households use one third of the final energy and produce around two thirds of city waste in the European Union. Besides，housing, food，and private transport make up almost 80％ of environmental pressures. Therefore there’s no doubt that consumers can make a real difference in fighting climate change.To direct consumers towards more environmentally-friendly decisions，we need clear and simple instructions to guide consumption behavior. Actually, two thirds of consumers find it hard to figure out which products are better for the environment, for 58% Europeans think that many businesses just pretend to be green so as to charge higher prices. Thus industry should work harder to give consumers more information about the carbon footprint of their product. For example, inform customers of products made from materials that are recycled，renewable, and／or less carbon-intensive. People prefer high-quality products that will last long and won’t go out of style, though they might sometimes cost more, especially in time of crisis. Firms that make durable（持久耐用的） or recyclable products cause people to behave more responsibly, which may help put an end to our “throw-way” culture.However, it is not enough to remind people of green products. It’s more important to direct people to follow a practical lifestyle model. Regulations alone cannot achieve this purpose. We call for good business communities to create a loyal group of “sustainable(可持续的) consumers”.1.According to the passage, the key to going greener globally is .A.to provide enough information about sustainable productsB.to get the government involved in protecting the environmentC.to encourage consumers to make their efforts to live a green wayD.to direct companies to provide environmentally-friendly products2.The second paragraph tried to tell us that .A.people are buying sustainable products to have a lighter carbon footprintB.most European consumers lack confidence in making responsible choicesC.companies have done enough to allow consumers to make greener choicesD.companies can make more money by making less carbon-intensive products3.It’s advised that companies had better especially in the time of crisis.A.throw away old materialsB.reduce the cost of productionC.make more durable productsD.replace their products frequently4.The last paragraph puts emphasis on ___________.A.the quality of products.B.the honesty of companies.C.the government regulations.D.the importance of lifestyle.

CBCD解析消费者在环保方面非常重要，文章从多方面说明了原因。1.推理题。根据文章第一段可知消费者在减少温室气体排放方面很重要，所以鼓励消费者努力过绿色环保的生活才是关键。故C正确。2.推理题。根据第2段2,3行two thirds of consumers find it hard to figure out which products are better for the environment可知大部分欧洲消费者缺乏信心，不知道什么是环保的产品。3.细节题。根据第三段1,2行People prefer high-quality products that will last long and won’t go out of style, though they might sometimes cost more, especially in time of crisis.可知C正确。4.段落大意题。最后一段说明了好的生活方式对于环保的重要性。
