1、课时提能练(四十三)选修8Unit 22Environmental Protection(A).阅读理解A(2020绵阳市第一次诊断性考试)Wheat is a main source of food for people across the planet,accounting for a fifth of the calories consumed globally.But as a result of climate change,scientists believe most parts of the world where the crop is grown will be hit
2、by water shortages by the end of the century.And the US.could be among the countries worst affected,the authors of the research published in the journal Science Advances told Newsweek.If climate change isnt dealt with,by the year 2100,60 percent of areas that grow wheat will be hit by water scarcity
3、 up from the current level of 15 percent,according to the international team of scientists. Coauthors Miroslav Trnka and Song Feng told Newsweek that in their previous research,they had shown climate change may cause soil to become less moist (湿润的)across most mainland US.states,including those where
4、 wheat is grown.As a result,the US.could be “one of the top most affected wheat producers” in terms of the increase in areas affected by severe droughts,they said in a joint statement. Worryingly,existing research has predicted a 4.0 to 6.5 percent drop in global wheat production per 1 degree Celsiu
5、s of warming if climate change isnt eased.And its unlikely that wheat can be replaced if water becomes scarce,as its not as thirsty as other crops and can do without water for a relatively long period of time.“If multiple regions are affected by drought at the same time,it might be difficult to meet
6、 the demand even if the trade routes stay open and are not restricted by governmental measures,” warned Feng and Trnka.However,they said,“Studies show that if we continuously improve the sustainability and technologies in the coming decades and allow for international trade,we may overcome the negat
7、ive impacts of climate change.”【语篇解读】科学家认为由于气候变化,到本世纪末,世界上大部分种植小麦的地区将受到缺水的影响,而如果气候变化得不到缓解,全球小麦的产量将会减少。1How will climate change hurt wheat production?ABy lowering the temperature.BBy reducing the water supply.CBy polluting the soil.DBy flooding the field.B细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知,由于气候变化,小麦种植地将受到缺水的影响;又根据第四段可
8、知,缺水会影响小麦产量,故选B。2What can we learn from Paragraph 3?AWheat production caused droughts in most mainland US.states.BThe United States is the biggest wheat producer in the world.CThe United States will suffer a lot from climate change.DClimate change is closely watched by American scientists.C推理判断题。根据第
9、三段的内容,尤其是“the US.could beone of the top most affected wheat producers”可推知,美国将在气候变化中受到很大影响,故选C。3Why is wheat unlikely to be replaced by other crops in a drought?AIt is the primary food for most countries.BIt is not influenced by global warming.CIt is widely grown in most countries.DIt needs less wate
10、r than other crops.D细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句可知,小麦不像其他作物那样那么需要水,在相当长的一段时间内没有水也能生存,因此小麦不太可能被其他作物取代,故选D。4In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?AHealth.BScience.CEducation.DEntertainment.B推理判断题。通读全文可知,这是一篇有关气候变化对小麦产量影响的文章,由此可推知,本文可能出现在报纸的科学版块,故选B。B(2020“四省八校”第二次教学质量检测)Fires sweeping across the Ama

12、ut 3 million species of plants and animals,and 1 million native people.The vast areas of the rainforest play an important role in the worlds ecosystem because they absorb heat instead of it being reflected back into the atmosphere.They also store carbon dioxide and produce oxygen,ensuring that less
13、carbon dioxide is released,mitigating the effects of climate change.“Any forest destroyed is a threat to biodiversity and people,” Thomas Lovejoy,an ecologist at George Mason University told National Geographic.“The overwhelming threat is that a lot of carbon dioxide goes into the atmosphere,”he str
14、essed.“In the midst of the global climate crisis,we cannot afford more damage to a major source of oxygen and biodiversity.The Amazon rainforest must be protected,”U.N.Secretary General Antnio Guterres said.Data from the National Institute for Space Research(INPE)show that the number of forest fires
15、 in Brazil quickly increased by 82 percent from January to August this year compared to the same period last year.A total of 71,497 forest fires were registered in the country in the first eight months of 2019,up from 39,194 in the same period in 2018,INPE said.“We estimate that the forest areas in
16、the Brazilian Amazon rainforest have decreased by between 20 and 30 percent compared to the last 12 months,”Carlos Nobre,a researcher at the University of Sao Paulo,told German broadcaster Deutsche Welle.Brazil owns about 60 percent of the Amazon rainforest,whose degradation (恶化)could have severe co
17、nsequences for global climate and rainfall.The extent of the area ruined by fires has yet to be determined,but the emergency has transcended(超出)Brazils borders,reaching Peruvian,Paraguayan and Bolivian regions.【语篇解读】科学家和环保组织担心席卷亚马逊雨林的火灾将加剧气候变化危机,威胁生物多样性。今年,位于巴西的部分亚马逊雨林火灾数量显著增加。5What does the underli
18、ned word“mitigating”in Paragraph 2 probably mean?AIncreasing.BRelieving.CIgnoring.DImproving.B词义猜测题。根据第二段第三、四句可知,大片的热带雨林在世界生态系统中扮演着重要的角色,因为它们吸收热量,而不是将热量反射回大气中;此外,热带雨林还储存二氧化碳并制造氧气,以确保更少的二氧化碳被释放。由此可知,热带雨林能够减轻气候变化带来的影响。故可推知画线词的含义与“relieving”的含义相近,故选B。6What can we learn from Thomass and Antnios words?AT
19、he biodiversity makes the rainforest unique.BThe rainforest fires result in serious consequences.CThe global climate crisis brings more rainforest fires.DThe dry weather leads to the rainforest fires.B推理判断题。根据第三段中Thomas所说的话“Any forest destroyed is a threat to biodiversity and people”以及Antnio所说的话“In
20、the midst of the global climate crisis,we cannot afford more damage to a major source of oxygen and biodiversity”可知,Thomas认为任何森林的破坏都是对生物多样性和人们的威胁,Antnio认为在全球气候危机的情况下,我们承担不起氧气和生物多样性的主要来源(即亚马逊雨林)被更多破坏的后果。由此可推知,两人意在表明,雨林大火导致了严重的后果。故选B。 【干扰项分析】根据上述分析可知,两人并没有强调生物多样性成就了雨林的独特性,故A项表述错误。7Why does the author
21、list the numbers in Paragraph 4?ATo prove the importance of the rainforest.BTo show the reason for forest fires.CTo explain the process of the research.DTo present the reduction in rainforest areas.D推理判断题。根据第四段第一句中的“the number of forest fires in Brazil quickly increased”和第三句中的“the forest areas in th
22、e Brazilian Amazon rainforest have decreased by between 20 and 30 percent”可推知,第四段列举数字是为了说明,亚马逊雨林由于森林火灾的影响,其面积减少了一些。故选D。8What does this passage mainly talk about?AThe climate change crisis is worsening.BThe forest areas are on the decline.C“The lungs of the world” is burning.DThe worlds ecosystem is
23、under attack.C主旨大意题。文章第一段为文章的总述部分,表明本年席卷亚马逊雨林的火灾将加剧气候变化危机,威胁生物多样性;第二至第五段介绍了亚马逊雨林火灾对生物多样性以及森林面积等的影响,其中第四段又突出强调亚马逊雨林火灾数量显著增加。由此可知C项符合题意。.完形填空(2020兰州市高三诊断考试)I was standing in a class of wild 14yearold girls as they threw paper and howled (大声叫喊) with laughter.They wouldnt _1_ me.I was 23 and I didnt kno

72、故选C。2G空格位于段中。空格前句意为:结账处摆放的商品经常是糖或者咸的零食。空格后的两个举例都是强调如果购物者看到的经常是健康食品的话,他们会更多的选择健康食品。由此可推知,空格处应该是强调换一下摆放在结账处的食品的重要性。选项G中的“simply swapping in healthier options can change customer behavior(简单地将垃圾食品换成健康一点的食品能改变顾客的购物行为)”与这一语境呼应,起到承上启下的作用。故选G。3E空格位于段首。由本段中的“a research scientist at the department”可知,前边应该出现过
73、department,选项E中的“Department of Health”与之呼应。故选E。4F空格位于段中。分析文章结构,第四段和第五段主要讲述Adjoian和她同事们做的试验。空格前句意为:为了证明把健康食品放在收银处,是不是影响拥挤的市区内的顾客的购买行为,他们选择了三家超市。空格后句意为:他们连续三周每天分六次每次三小时记录购买情况。可以推知,中间一句话应该是实验的设置方式。选项F“They replaced candies and cookies with fruits and nuts near the checkout counter.(他们把收银处附近的糖和饼干换成了水果和坚
74、果。)”与这个试验的目的一致。故选F。5B空格位于段中。这一段讲述Adjoian和她同事们做的试验的结果。由空格后的“These findings”可知,前边至少有两项发现。空格前句意为:在那些在收银处买了东西的人当中,站在健康食品队列的人比站在不健康食品队列的人买了多于两倍的东西。这是一个发现,选项B中的“They bought unhealthy foods 40 percent less often.(他们买不健康食品的概率也降低了40%。)”与上一句句式接近,并且表达的是与上一句意思一致的一个发现,又与下句中的“These findings”呼应。故选B。.语法填空(2020抚顺模拟)
