【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】這是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章介紹了對(duì)巴基斯坦最大城市卡拉奇紅樹(shù)林的保護(hù)措施。C篇28.WhatdoweknowaboutKarachi'smangroves?A.Theyoccupythebuildingland.B.They'rehometovariousbirds.C.They'reprimarilybeingusedasfirewood.D.Theyprotectthecityfromclimatecatastrophe./k??t?str?fi/災(zāi)難解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。這些樹(shù)木可以使位于阿拉伯海的巴基斯坦最大城市卡拉奇免遭自然災(zāi)害?？芍?，它們保護(hù)城市免受氣候?yàn)?zāi)難。故選D。29.Whyareeffortsmadetoconservethemangrovetrees?A.Theirbirthplacesmeetcrisis.

B.Theyboasthugediversity.C.Theirbondswithnatureareclose.D.Theygrowatarapidspeed.解析：推理判斷題。

根據(jù)P2，在近海,有紅樹(shù)林生長(zhǎng)的島嶼。它們可能是減緩氣候變化的關(guān)鍵。紅樹(shù)林從空氣中吸收二氧化碳，其吸收的溫室氣體是其他森林的四倍。它們支持不同的生態(tài)系統(tǒng)。隨著全球變暖導(dǎo)致海平面上升，這些樹(shù)木可以在保護(hù)卡拉奇等沿海城市免受洪水侵襲方面發(fā)揮重要作用。由此判斷，保護(hù)紅樹(shù)林是因?yàn)樗鼈兣c自然的緊密聯(lián)系。30.WhatdoestheKarachigovernmentplantodo?A.Growmangrovesinotherareas.B.Destroybuildingstogrowmangroves.C.Buildmoremangrovereserves.D.Usemangrovestomakeprofit.解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)P3最后兩句，市政府官員表示,這可以提供急需的住房，并帶來(lái)數(shù)十億美元的收入。他們聲稱(chēng)，其中一些錢(qián)可以用來(lái)在巴基斯坦其他地區(qū)種植紅樹(shù)林。可知，政府官員會(huì)在其他的地方種植紅樹(shù)林。故選A。31.WhatdoesHaqthinkofQaiser'sworkonKarachi'smangroves?A.Challenging.B.Effective.

C.Insignificant.

D.Partial.解析：

推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段，Haq說(shuō),‘巴基斯坦只有7％的紅樹(shù)林在卡拉奇?！J(rèn)為關(guān)注全國(guó)7％的損失而忽視93％的成功是錯(cuò)誤的。但是Qaiser認(rèn)為保護(hù)每一處都很重要?？芍?，Haq認(rèn)為不能只關(guān)注到失敗的而不關(guān)注成功的方面，但Qaiser認(rèn)為就算是再小的區(qū)域都要兼顧到，因此Haq認(rèn)為Qaiser對(duì)于卡拉奇紅樹(shù)林工作成果的想法的認(rèn)識(shí)是片面的，不全面的。A.Challenging.有挑戰(zhàn)性的;B.Effective.有效的;C.Insignificant.不重要的;D.Partial.片面的。故選D。occupy

D.Tointroduceancientjokestous.解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)P1，眾所周知,幽默對(duì)我們的身體和心靈都有益......西格蒙德·弗洛伊德認(rèn)為，幽默是心靈最高級(jí)的防御機(jī)制，能夠?qū)⒔箲]轉(zhuǎn)化為快樂(lè)。可知，第一段的主要內(nèi)容是強(qiáng)調(diào)幽默的作用。

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)P2，自我提升的幽默包括能夠自嘲，通常是你處理壓力或困難的一種方式，并因此你會(huì)感覺(jué)更好?？芍糜诰徑鈮毫Φ氖亲晕姨嵘接哪?4.Whatdoestheunderlinedphrase“hintat”probablymeaninthethirdparagraph?A.Signal.B.Explain.

C.Prevent.D.Solve.解析：

猜測(cè)詞義題。根據(jù)P3，.....使用自我增強(qiáng)幽默的人不太可能表現(xiàn)出孤獨(dú)和與他人關(guān)系不好的跡象。相比之下，咄咄逼人和自我挫敗的幽默風(fēng)格都可能暗示出麻煩。)”可知hintat與signal(示意)意思類(lèi)似。35.WhichofthefollowingwillKurtVonnegutprobablyagreewith?A.Humorisdifficulttocontrol.
