选项
答案 On Earth Hour To call attention to the severity of climate change, environmental groups are[1]calling on people worldwide to support Earth Hour by turning off their lights for one hour on a certain day. The goal is to encourage people to reduce activities in their daily lives that produce carbon emissions. [2]Some people[3]are in favor of this opinion, and[4]take practical actions to support this activity of environmental protection. However, others have[5]voiced loud opposition to the Earth Hour, saying it is just for show. They point out that people turning off their lights for the Earth Hour will[6]neither lead to a reduction in carbon emissions nor make significant changes to their habits and lifestyles. The focus on the Earth Hour will[7]end up being[8]a great waste of time and money. As a college student, I tend to agree with the second point of view: Changes of habits and lifestyles come about slowly through the improvement of family environment, living standards and education.[9]It is wise for those who support the Earth Hour to[10]focus their efforts on the above-mentioned areas rather than on the activities for only one hour out of a whole year.
解析 [1]call on在范文中的意思是“号召”，具有相同含义的词和词组还有appeal，call upon等，文章首先明确提出了熄灯一小时活动的目的，引出讨论的话题。
[2]some和下一名中的others相呼应，从两个方面阐述不同的人对于同一个话题的看法和态度，观点条理清晰。
[3]be in favor of在范文中的意思是“支持，赞成”，具有相同含义的词和词组还有favor，approve，agreewith等。
[4]take practical actions在范文中的意思是“采取实际行动”，后接动词不定式表示目的。
[5]voice loud opposition在范文中的意思是“表示强烈反对”，voice在此处作动词，意为“表示，表达，吐露(感情或意见)”。
[6]neither和之后的nor相呼应，意思是“既不……也不……”，表示对两者的全部否定，使用时需注意，neither和nor连接的两个成分要对等。
[7]end up在范文中的意思是“(以……)结束；最终成为”。
[8]a great waste of在范文中的意思是“巨大的浪费”，此处指出这种活动只会带来时间和金钱上的巨大浪费，表达形象，命中要点。
[9]it is wise for sb．to do sth．的意思是“对于……来说(做……)是明智的”。
[10]focus their efforts on在范文中的意思是“将他们的精力集中到……上”，focus on是动词词组，表示“致力于……”。
