Farmers cleared land for agriculture and also burned areas of rainforest for further development. Cleared rainforests in this

59、】1C2B3C4D【分析】这是一篇说明文。介绍了亚马逊地区作为地球之肺的重要意义，造成亚马逊大火的几个可能因素以及对全球和人类造成的危害。1主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Farmers cleared land for agriculture and also burned areas of rainforest for further development. （农民为了农业生产，会清理土地，为了长远发展也会焚烧雨林。）One contributing factor to the fires in the Amazon is the fact that it is the dry season
60、there,（亚马逊大火的一个促成因素就是那儿正值干季。）”可知，第二段主要是列举了造成亚马逊大火的几个可能因素。故选C。2词义猜测题。根据第三段中“However, the ability of the rainforest to pull in more carbon than it releases is diminishing weakened by changing weather patterns, deforestation and increasing tree mortality（死亡率）, among other factors.（但是，雨林的吸碳能力相较于排碳能力，正在下
61、降，它的能力的削弱是由不断变化的天气模式、森林采伐、不断上升的树木死亡率以及其他因素造成的。）”可知，由于这些因素导致雨林的能力削弱，所以它的吸碳能力相较于排碳能力，是下降的。decrease意为“减少，降低”。故选B。3细节理解题。根据第四段中“posing a threat to human health and aggravating global warming.（给人类健康造成了威胁，也加重了全球变暖。）”以及第五段中“ it would accelerate global warming while also leading to a huge loss in species th
62、at are not found anywhere else on earth.（会加速全球变暖，同时也会导致那些在地球上并不是随处可见的物种大量缺失。）”可知，亚马逊大火对人类健康、全球变暖以及物种减少都造成了影响，但是文中并没有提及对采伐森林的影响，且根据第三段中“the ability of the rainforest to pull in more carbon than it releases is diminishing weakened by changing weather patterns, deforestation and increasing tree mortali
63、ty, among other factors.”可知，采伐森林是造成亚马逊大火的可能因素之一，并不是大火产生的结果和影响。故选C。4主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“If the Amazon were to turn into a consistent net source of carbon emissions, it would accelerate global warming while also leading to a huge loss in species that are not found anywhere else on earth.（如果亚马逊成为碳排放的一个持续的净源，

Maybe different people come up with different answers. However, there is no denying the fact that the only threat to humankind, apart from h
65、umankind itself, is, without any doubt, the nature. Natural disasters are the result of natural environmental processes that have a damaging effect on people. Natural disasters can come in many forms: such as geological events like earthquakes, tsunamis or mud-rock flows, climatic events like storms
66、, hurricanes or tornadoes and fire events like forest fires and wildfires.The damage done by natural disasters is mainly as a result of our inability to predict exactly when they will happen. Although great progress has been made in designing and developing forecasting models for some natural disast
67、er, complete certainty is still impossible. Even to be pessimistic there is a possibility that human beings will never achieve accurate prediction of the happening of all natural disasters.Whats more, even though we were able to predict these disasters from nature, preventing them is equally impossi
68、ble. So we only have two ways to both prevent injuries or deaths and reduce economic losses to the least. These two methods are to prepare before a natural disaster comes to hit, and to manage the necessary resources and public services after a natural disaster strikes.These two things have always b

In the United States, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is responsible for the preparedness, response and recovery planning of both man-made and natural disasters.Most natural disas

74、?Aa symbol of the power of natureBthe greatest threat to mankindCNatural disasters and mankindDreduce losses to the least【答案】5B6Am 7D8C【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了自然灾害是人类最大的威胁，人类面对自然能灾害最佳的处理办法就是应急准备和良好的灾害管理。5细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句“Natural disasters can come in many forms: such as geological events like earthquake
75、s, tsunamis or mud-rock flows, climatic events like storms, hurricanes or tornadoes and fire events like forest fires and wildfires.”(自然灾害有多种形式:比如地质事件，像地震、海啸或泥石流;气候事件，像风暴、飓风或龙卷风;火灾事件，像森林火灾和野火。)可知，龙卷风和地震属于不同的灾害类型，所以它们都是地质事件不能作为是它们的相似之处。故选B项。6细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句“The damage done by natural disasters is ma
76、inly as a result of our inability to predict exactly when they will happen.”(自然灾害造成的破坏主要是由于我们无法准确预测它们何时发生。)可知，自然灾害造成如此大的破坏的原因是很难准确预测它们何时会发生。故选A项。7推理判断题。根据文章最后一段第一句“Most natural disasters cannot be prevented, and both emergency preparation and good disaster management are the best ways to deal with them.”(大多数自然灾害是无法预防的，应急准备和良好的灾害管理都是对付这些灾害的最佳办法。)可知，人类面临自然灾害时做好准备和灾害管理的办法是可取的。故选D项。8主旨大意题。文章主要第一段主要讲述了人类面临自然灾害的种类；第二自然段主要讲述了自然灾害造成如此大的破坏的原因；第三、四及五自然段主要讲述了人类对付这些灾害的两种最佳办法；可知，自然灾害和人类最适合作为文章的标题。故选C项。
