Ⅰ.阅读理解
Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often provide guests with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers. Many guests like the idea because they don't have to bring their own.But, if you travel to Beijing, remember to bring your own things.Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables.They want to ask people to use less disposable things.
Many disposable things are made of plastic.People throw them away after only using them once.It is a waste of natural resources and is very bad for the environment.Do you know, one Chinese person makes as much as 400 kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things.In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down.So the less plastic we throw out, the better.So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again.
Back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place.Try to do these things in your daily life：
Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones.
After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry.Then you can use it over and over again.
Do not use paper cups.At your school canteen, use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of disposable ones.
1．Why do many hotels provide guests with some disposable things？__A__
A．Because they want to offer their guests convenience during their traveling.
B．Because they hope their guests use less disposable things.
C．Because they wish their guests to save money.
D．Because they want their guests to use more disposable things.

解析：
1．work改为works。

who引导定语从句并在从句中作主语，从句的谓语动词应与先行词an aunt一致，故用单数形式。

2．that改为since。

It has been＋一段时间＋since...“自从……已经……(多久)了”，是固定句型。

3．parent改为parents。

根据语境，此处表示“父母两人”，故parent用复数形式。

4．live改为living。

expect后是宾语从句，live in a city in England在从句中作主语，故用动名词形式。

5．much改为more或much后加more。

根据后面的than可知，此处应用比较级形式；much可以修饰比较级，故也可以在much后加more。

6．去掉on。

the other day“前几天”，是固定短语，相当于a few days ago，在句中作时间状语，前面不需要介词。

7．They改为There。

此处是there be句型，表示“有……”，there不可以用其他词代替。

8．eat改为ate。

根据语境，此处是讲述过去发生的事情，故用一般过去时。

Live an environment－friendly life
As is known to us all, our environment is getting worse and worse.Cars have made the air unhealthy for people to breathe and poisonous gas is given off by factories.Trees have been cut down and waste water is being poured continuously into rivers.
What can we do for our environment? First of all, when we go out, we should take a bus or ride a bike instead of driving a car.Second, we'd better not use plastic bags which can bring about the white pollution.Third, it's of great use to plant trees, which can absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen.Finally, as students, we ought to turn out the lights the moment we leave the classroom, turn off the tap in time, and reuse our textbooks and so on.
The earth is our home.Let's take care of it and live an environment－friendly life.。
