第5个空填什么,可以填burning吗?

全文的主题是节能。 If you own a 4 x 4 vehicle, why not consider trading it in for a more efficient vehicle. The only reason you should need a 4 x4 vehicle is if you live in a rough terrain or snowy areas. When you need to buy your next car, be sure to check the miles per gallon to see how economical your car will be, this not only helps the environment but is saves you money on fuel too. efficient:能产生效果的(文中可理解为具有较高的节能效果)。 economical:不浪费燃料的。 再看一下上述这几句话的中文意思:如果你有一辆4*4型号的汽车,为什么不考虑换成一辆更具节能效果的车呢。如果你住的地方路不好走或者常年积雪那开4*4型号的车未尝不可(由此可以看出4*4的车耗油,耗能,一般情况下不建议开)。当你需要再买车的时候,一定要弄清楚每加仑的英里数,看看你要买的车费不费燃料,这样不仅有助于环保而且还能节省油钱(从save money on fuel可以看出这里讲的是省油省钱的事,所以前面对应的是economical)。 burn你查词典会发现它有一个意思是:(燃料)消耗,比如:burn much gasoline消耗很多汽油。burn electricity在这里是耗电的意思,文章中用的是现在进行时态,burn需变为burning的形式,即:is burning electricity。即使手机不充电,如果充电器插头不从电源拔下来的话,它依然会耗费电。 最后一个问题make a big difference in doing sth是一个固定用法,你搜一下百度很少能发现有make a big improvement in doing sth 的用法,这是完形填空最准确常用的还是difference。 希望能帮助你。

14.15题答案是正确的,如果你觉得14题比较模棱两可,不妨看看15题:

be sure to check the miles per gallon to see how【15】______your car will be, this not only helps the environment but is saves you money on fuel too.

加粗部分很明确的告诉你保护环境又省油省钱,很明显,答案是economical(经济的,省钱的),14题答案也就呼之欲出了。


第一问:Slight changes in day-to-day tasks can make a big【1】______in conserving energy around the home.  每天日常中,小小的改变也能在节省能源方面意义重大

make a big difference是常用词组,意为:很大不同/意义重大/大有改观,多指进步,改善。

make a big improvement一般形容成绩提高啦,工作改善啦,工资提升啦等量化性质的名词。


第五个空,我观察了其它选项,这些选项并没有考你改变待选词词性方面的知识,但是选burn明显语法不对,所以应该是burning.

Even if your phone is not being charged, the charger is still【5】______electricity whilst plugged in

哪怕你没给手机充电,充电器再插进插座时依然消耗电力。

找了半天,有消耗含义的只有burn,所以我怀疑是题目答案给错咯。
