四、阅读理解。
Around the world, people are more and more worried about the environment. Many people now prefer products that cause less pollution and companies that care about the earth. This need for green products has led large companies to change their business.
Before, customers used cheap plastic bags, and then threw them away. But now most supermarkets and stores usually provide reusable shopping bags. This reduces waste. They also offer more local products, because less energy is needed for carrying them from one place to another.
To help reduce air pollution, big car factories are looking for other ways to control the amount of oil. Cars that use much less oil are very popular. Many companies are also developing fully electric cars. They produce no air pollution at all. Both kinds of cars have another advantage: They are cheaper to run and people don't need to worry about oil prices.
The airline companies face an even greater green challenge. Airplanes use much more oil than cars. So many airlines are now developing planes that can run on some other kinds of oil. They produce less pollution and cost less. The companies are also developing a new kind of plane. It uses only solar panels(太阳能板) to fly!
Green businesses used to be popular with only a small group of people. But now, more and more companies have to show they care about the environment. Many products are marked "green" in order to look nice. However, people still have to be careful when choosing green products. It's important to make sure the products are as good as the businessmen say.

答案：四、1~4. CBCB
解析：
【分析】
首先整体梳理本篇文章的核心脉络：本文是环保主题的说明文，开篇先总述公众环保意识提升、对绿色产品的需求增加，推动各大企业调整经营模式；之后分别从零售行业、汽车制造行业、航空行业三个维度，具体介绍不同企业推出的绿色环保相关举措；最后收尾总结绿色商业的发展现状，同时提醒消费者选购绿色产品时要仔细甄别。
逐题思考路径：
1. 代词指代题：定位到题干指定的第二段，代词them的指代内容必然在前文紧邻的表述中，前半句明确提到过去消费者使用廉价塑料袋，之后将其丢弃，直接对应指代对象。
2. 细节组合题：定位第三段关于全电动汽车的描述，逐一核对给出的四个表述，排除文中没有提到的无关表述，选出符合原文的优势项即可。
3. 写作目的题：定位最后一段，前文已经点明人们选择绿色产品时仍要谨慎，最后一句进一步强调要确认产品和商家宣传的一致，很容易判断出句子的写作意图。
4. 篇章结构题：梳理全文段落逻辑，第1段是总起引入话题，第2、3、4段是三个并列的分论点，分别介绍不同行业的绿色转型做法，第5段是总结升华，整体为“总-分-总”的结构，匹配对应的结构图即可。
【解析】
1. 定位第二段前句"Before, customers used cheap plastic bags, and then threw them away."，可知此处的them指代前文提到的廉价塑料袋，对应选项C。
2. 根据第三段内容"Many companies are also developing fully electric cars. They produce no air pollution at all. Both kinds of cars have another advantage: They are cheaper to run and people don't need to worry about oil prices."，可知电动汽车的优势是零空气污染、运行成本低，对应序号③和④，选B。
3. 最后一段前句提到"However, people still have to be careful when choosing green products."，尾句进一步强调要确认产品和商家宣传的品质一致，目的是告知人们挑选绿色产品时要仔细甄别，对应选项C。
4. 全文结构为：第1段总述公众环保需求推动企业转型，第2、3、4段分别从商超、车企、航空三个行业具体介绍绿色举措，第5段总结绿色商业的发展现状并给出消费提示，属于典型的总分总结构，对应选项B的结构图，选B。
