Module 4 Sandstorms in Asia (建議用時(shí):35分鐘).閱讀理解A(2020長(zhǎng)沙統(tǒng)一模擬)When she first started learning about the climate change from one of her elders, Fawn Sharp was invited on a helicopter flight over the Olympic Mountains to survey the Mount Anderson glacier. But the glacier was gone, melted by the warming climate. Sharp had a deep sense of loss when she discovered the glacier wasnt there anymore.Loss is a growing issue for people working and living on the front lines of climate change. And that gave Jennifer Wren Atkinson, a fulltime lecturer at the University of Washington Bothell, US, an idea for a class.This term, she taught students on the Bothell campus about the emotional burdens of environmental studies. She used the experiences of Native American tribes(部落), scientists and activists, and asked her 24 students to face the reality that there is no easy fixthat “this is such an intractable problem that theyre going to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives.”Student Cody Dillon used to be a climate science skeptic(懷疑論者). Then he did his own reading and research, and changed his mind.Dillon wasnt going into environmental workhe was a computerscience major. Yet, the potential for a worldwide environmental catastrophe seemed so real to him five years ago that he quit his job and became a fulltime volunteer for an environmental group that worked on restoration(恢復(fù)) projects.Six months into the work, he decided that Atkinsons class was just what he was looking fora place where he could discuss his concerns about a changing climate.Atkinson said she hoped the class helped her students prepare themselves for the amount of environmental loss that will happen over their lifetimes.“We are already changing the planetso many species are going to be lost, displaced or massively impacted,” she said. “The future isnt going to be what they imagined.”【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】Fawn Sharp通過(guò)一次搭乘直升機(jī)飛行的經(jīng)歷認(rèn)識(shí)到了冰川融化的嚴(yán)重性,同時(shí)Jennifer Wren Atkinson給學(xué)生開(kāi)設(shè)了課程,教學(xué)生如何面對(duì)氣候變化,她的課程讓很多學(xué)生關(guān)注環(huán)境問(wèn)題。1Why did the author mention the case of Fawn Sharp?ATo lay a basis for Fawn Sharps further research.BTo prove Fawn Sharps work is similar to Atkinsons.CTo lead into the issue of loss caused by climate change.DTo show scientists concern about the Mount Anderson glacier.C解析:推理判斷題。通讀第一段可知,F(xiàn)awn Sharp在一次直升機(jī)飛行中意識(shí)到氣候變化導(dǎo)致了冰川融化;由此可推知,作者在第一段中提及Fawn Sharp的例子是為了引出下文氣候變化導(dǎo)致環(huán)境問(wèn)題的話(huà)題,故選C。2Whats the main purpose of Atkinsons class?ATo explore how different people deal with climate change.BTo get students more concerned about the environmental issue.CTo find solutions to the environmental issue of Olympic Mountains.DTo teach students how to conduct research about environment.B解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“she taught students.the emotional burdens of environmental studies.and asked her 24 students to face the reality that there is no easy fixthat this is such an intractable problem that theyre going to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives.”可知,她給學(xué)生講環(huán)境研究的情感壓力,她讓她的24個(gè)學(xué)生面對(duì)沒(méi)有簡(jiǎn)單的解決方法這個(gè)事實(shí)這是“一個(gè)如此困難的問(wèn)題以至于學(xué)生們將用他們的余生來(lái)解決它?!庇纱丝芍?,Atkinson的課程目的是讓學(xué)生們更加關(guān)注環(huán)境問(wèn)題,故選B。3Which of the following words best explains “intractable” underlined in Paragraph 3?ASimple.BDifficult.CCommon.DInteresting.B解析:詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)上文可知,Atkinson用美洲土著部落、科學(xué)家以及積極分子們的經(jīng)歷讓她的24個(gè)學(xué)生面對(duì)沒(méi)有簡(jiǎn)單的解決方法這個(gè)事實(shí),并結(jié)合該句“this is such an intractable problem that theyre going to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives”可知,這是一個(gè)如此困難的問(wèn)題以至于學(xué)生們將用他們的余生來(lái)解決它,故選B。4How did Atkinsons class influence Dillon?AIt made him work as a parttime volunteer for restoration projects.BIt made him realize a planetwide climate disaster would happen.CIt encouraged him to be more involved in environmental protection.DIt discouraged him to work on restoration projects for the environment.C解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段“Six months into the work.discuss his concerns about a changing climate.”可知,Dillon在環(huán)保組織做了六個(gè)月志愿者之后,他認(rèn)為在A(yíng)tkinson的課堂上他可以討論他對(duì)氣候變化的擔(dān)憂(yōu);由此可推知,Atkinson的課程鼓勵(lì)Dillon參與環(huán)境保護(hù),故選C。B(2020湖北武昌區(qū)調(diào)研)Historians and archaeologists have defined periods of human history for centuries by the technologies or materials that made the greatest impact on society. This includes the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, and the Iron Age. But what age are we in now? That question can be answered with one word for some researchers: Plastics.“Plastic has redefined our material culture and the artifacts we leave behind. It will be found in stratified(分層的) layers in our trash deposits(沉積層)” Thats according to John Marston, an archaeologist.The wide variety of synthetic polymers(合成聚合物) would not exist if it werent for human action. About six billion tons of plastics have been made and spread around the planet. They have been spread from forests to oceans ever since the first plastic polymers were invented.Plastics are one of the most significant changes that humans have made to the Earths makeup. Most plastics dont easily degrade. This only adds to the problem. Recycling isnt an adequate solution. Not all types of plastic are easily recyclable. And there are only a few recycling plants that can process all varieties of plastic.According to Debra Winter, writer for The Atlantic, this means that many of the materials thrown into recycling bins can cross the planet several times before they are processed. They are made into rugs, sweaters, or they are used to make other bottles. Millions of tons of plastics are recycled every year, but millions more end up in landfills or the ocean. The problem has reached the point where its possible that in just a few decades there might be more plastic in the worlds oceans than fishes.“Plastics have a supposed lifespan of over 500 years, so its safe to say that every plastic bottle you have used exists somewhere on this planet, in some form or another,” Winter writes.The damage may already be done. It may be too late for human populations worldwide to change their plastic using ways. So the Plastic Age might soon take its place next to the Bronze Age and the Iron Age in the history of human civilization.【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】在我們所處的時(shí)代,塑料給我們的生活帶來(lái)了很大便利,但是也給環(huán)境造成了巨大損害。5Why do people call our age the Plastic Age?ABecause plastics are not naturally made.BBecause humans create plastics.CBecause plastics influence the world greatly.DBecause historians and archaeologists think so.C解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段第一句可知,歷史學(xué)家和考古學(xué)家是通過(guò)對(duì)社會(huì)造成最大影響的技術(shù)或材料來(lái)界定人類(lèi)歷史時(shí)期的,由此可推知,我們稱(chēng)現(xiàn)在這個(gè)時(shí)代為塑料時(shí)代的原因是塑料極大地影響了世界,故C項(xiàng)正確。6According to the passage, how are most plastics dealt with currently?AThey are recycled.BThey are degraded.CThey are thrown away.DThey are made into bottles.C解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段中的“Millions of tons of plastics are recycled every year, but millions more end up in landfills or the ocean.”可知,每年數(shù)百萬(wàn)噸的塑料垃圾被回收,但是更多的塑料垃圾最終被扔到垃圾場(chǎng)或海洋中了,故C項(xiàng)正確。7What is the authors attitude to the Plastic Age?ANegative.BAmbiguous.CFavorable.DUnconcerned.A解析:觀(guān)點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容可知,作者在文章中描述了塑料垃圾對(duì)社會(huì)的巨大的負(fù)面影響,尤其在最后一段中作者提到,塑料垃圾對(duì)社會(huì)可能已經(jīng)造成了損害,世界各地的人們改變使用塑料的方式可能太晚了。由此可推知,作者對(duì)塑料時(shí)代持消極態(tài)度。故A項(xiàng)正確。8What is the main idea of this passage?APlastics have ruined our environment.BWe must stop using plastics altogether.CHuman beings are in the Plastic Age.DPlastics are significant to human development.C解析:主旨大意題。通讀全文可知,本文主要講述的是我們?nèi)祟?lèi)現(xiàn)在處于塑料時(shí)代并解釋了我們這個(gè)時(shí)代被稱(chēng)為塑料時(shí)代的原因,由此可推知,C項(xiàng)最符合文意。.七選五(2020石家莊高三一模)Three in five people in the UK hold a library card. For some, libraries are a shelter from the stresses of daytoday life. 1._ If youre considering joining your local library, now is the time to do so.
