32、by 4 centimeters, also a Rafflesia tuan-mudae.”可知，这朵Rafflesia tuan-mudae（穆达大王花）的直径为111厘米，这使得它比之前的记录保持者的直径大了4厘米，那也是一朵穆达大王花。由此可推断出，最大的花的前一个记录保持者的直径是111厘米减去4厘米，为107厘米。故选C项。9词义猜测题。画线词所在句“The pungent smell is meant to attract flies”意为“这种_气味是用来吸引苍蝇的”。根据第三段关键句“Rafflesia tuan-mudae is a type of special flow

33、er, which smells like a dying body.”可知，穆达大王花闻起来像一个垂死的尸体。再根据第四段关键句“suddenly showing themselves to the world with their giant smelly flowers.”中的“giant smelly”可知，这种花会散发出巨大的臭味。Strong and unpleasant意为“强烈的和令人不快的”，符合对这种花气味的描述，表示这种强烈的和令人不快的气味是用来吸引苍蝇的，符合句意。故选A项。10主旨大意题。根据第五段关键句“They were named “Rafflesia” af

35、tists to run toward one of these flowers rather than away, but in this case the prize was worth the smell.”可知，幸运的是，这种特殊的味道让科学家们跑向了这些花，而不是远离它们。由此可推断出，作者认为这一发现是幸运的。Fortunate意为“幸运的”，符合作者的看法。故选B项。 “Alexa, whats 5 minus 3?” A 6-year-old boy recently asked that question in a video, which was popular on Tw

37、s he often sees “children quietly talking into their phones and asking Google or other services to spell some complicated words that they dont know.” But Hill says he doesnt mind. “I struggle with spelling, and spellcheck on my word processing has been a lifesaver for me.” he says. “I think being ab

38、le to use those technological aids is not hurting anybody,” Hill adds.But some experts say its not just about learning basic math or spelling. “One of the best gifts we can give our children is doing that kind of problem-solving together,” says Diane Levin, a professor of applied human development.

39、Levin says its important for children to learn to struggleeven just a littlewith challenges. “They will use those skills that theyre learning for all kinds of things that come along,” Levin says.How much concern should parents have over Alexa and their children? Every new wave of technology, from ca

40、lculators to TV sets, causes a panic about its effect on children, and nostalgia (怀旧) for the past, says Dimitri Christakis, an expert in child health, behavior and development.But he says that a child watching television is having a completely passive experience.

41、ve, “it helps understand how the world works,” Christakis says. “But while watching television, you play no role in the content,” Christakis says.Still, he agrees that this debate is about much more than knowing what 5 minus 3 is.

42、ty to stay focused,” he says, “is one of the most important developmental skills that children acquire.”12What can be inferred from Hills words?ATechnological aids are helpful.BHis students dont use their brains.CHis students arent focused in class.DSpelling is really difficult for small children.13

45、ability to pay attention.【答案】12A13D14B15D【解析】这是一篇议论文。文章针对科技援助手段在儿童的学习和发展过程中的利弊进行了讨论。12细节理解题。根据第三段中Hill的话“I struggle with spelling, and spellcheck on my word processing has been a lifesaver for me.”可知，他的拼写很困难，他认为利用技术手段对他的拼写进行检查是他的救命稻草。再根据他接下来的话“I think being able to use those technological aids is no

46、t hurting anybody”可知，他认为使用这些技术援助不会伤害到任何人。由此可推断出，Hill认为技术援助是有帮助的。故选A项。13细节理解题。根据第四段中Levin的话“One of the best gifts we can give our children is doing that kind of problem-solving together”可知，我们能给孩子最好的礼物之一就是培养孩子一起解决问题的能力。通过文意可知，技术援助手段帮助孩子解决了问题，同时也使孩子丧失了自己解决问题的能力，这对孩子的发展是有害的。由此可推断出，Levin认为技术援助手段危害了孩子的发展。

47、故选D项。14细节理解题。根据第五段中Christakis的话“Every new wave of technology, from calculators to TV sets, causes a panic about its effect on children, and nostalgia (怀旧) for the past”可知，每一次新的科技浪潮，从计算器到电视机，都会引起家长们关于新科技给孩子们带来的影响的恐慌，以及对过去的怀念。由此可推断出，Christakis认为新的技术会引起家长们的忧虑和担心。故选B项。15细节理解题。根据最后一段中Christakis的话“That ab

48、ility to stay focused,” he says, “is one of the most important developmental skills that children acquire.”可知，保持专注的能力，是儿童获得的最重要的发展技能之一。由此可推断出，在本段中，Christakis强调了儿童专注能力的重要性。故选D项。阅读理解【2021届湖南省邵阳市高三上学期第一次联考】Tea Obrehts Favorite NovelsTa Obrehts new novel, Inland, tells the stories of an outlaw crossing

95、词句猜测题。由最后一段中的Teachers dont just teach they inspire something that no electronic device， no matter how smart, can do!

96、得你的老师为了引导你走向正确的方向，而变得”刻薄”的时候，想象一下没有他/她的生活。由此可知，划线词的意思是“一个没有老师的世界是不可想象的”。故A选项正确。15主旨大意题。文章分别以Project Ed and Participant Medias Teach campaign, Savannah Wakefield, Monet, Miles Horst等为例，强调了老师的重要性。所以短文的最佳标题为“老师的重要性”。故C选项正确。阅读理解【2021届广东省仲元中学、中山一中等七校联合体高三上学期第一次联考】 Its surprising how much simple movements

197、ries who participated in the Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies(PIAAC).The PIAAC measures adultsskills in three categories:literacy,numeracy(计算能力）and digital literacy.Participants in the PIAAC were asked to estimate how many books were in their households by the time they

198、 were 16 years old.The average number in the study was 115 books,but the actual numbers would vary from country to country.Turkish participants averaged 27,while those in Norway had 212 and kids in the UK had 143.The study found that the more books that were present in the home,the better the adults

199、 scored in the PIAAC evaluations.Homes needed to have roughly 80 books to have any impact on the teens,raising PIAAC scores to the average level.Literacy scores in particular improved when more books were available,though they became steady at around 350 books.Numeracy skills improved in similar way

220、n short,why we relied so much on plastic in the first place,and even if it were possible to stop using the stuff tomorrow,it would take up to 1,000 years for some of whats being produced right now to disappear completely.（简而言之，这就是为什么我们一开始如此依赖塑料的原因，即使明天就有可能停止使用这种东西，也需要长达1000年的时间，现在生产的一些东西才能完全消失。）可知，人

222、这个社会有一些真正疯狂的东西，一方面沉迷于我们吃进嘴里的食物的质量，但另一方面却愉快地吃自己的垃圾。）可推知，解决塑料问题将是困难的。故选D。15主旨大意题。结合全文内容，尤其是根据文章第一段内容We are what we eat,and what we eat shows something about what we are in return.So it shouldnt be all that surprising that humans are now apparently eating plastic.（我们吃什么就会变成什么样子，而我们吃什么就会反映出我们反过来又是什么样子。所

234、force behind the rise of Marvel Comics.

They not only struggled to save the world, but also to pay thei

Those superheroes have been adapted into blockbuster films, most of which were made after Disney acquired Marvel in

243、s stand apart from its competitor DC”可知，这正是使得他所在公司漫威漫画公司不同于DC公司角色的原因。故选D。5细节理解题。第六段倒数第二句“then I began to realize: entertainment is one of the most important things in peoples lives.”Lee意识到娱乐是人们生活中最重要的事情之一，故选B。6细节理解题。最后一段倒数第二句“No one has had more of an impact on my career than Stan Lee, ” Feige said.

244、”可知Feige说没有人比斯坦李对他的职业生涯影响更大了，故选A。7主旨大意题。文章属于人物传记类文章，主要围绕斯坦李的生前事迹进行展开。且文章第一段第一句已经点明“Legendary comic book writer Stan Lee has died at the age of 95”斯坦李的去世是写这篇文章的初衷，故综合选项C选项最切合题意。 Societies all over the world name places in similar ways. Quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend

245、to be called names as points of reference by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it happens that a place has two names: One is named by the people and the other by the government. As in many areas, old habits die hard, and the place continues to be called b

246、y its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.Many roads and places in Singapore(新加坡) are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with traditions in many countriesin both the West

247、 and the East.Another way of naming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after. The mystery is clearer when we se

248、e some of the roads named in former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circusobviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel.Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road is an interesting example, “Ba

249、se Basah” means “wet rice” in Malay(马来语). Now why would anyone want to name a road “Wet Rice Road”? The reason is simple. During the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this road.A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There is “Circular Road” for one. Other roads may hav

250、e part of their names to describe their shapes, like “Paya Lebar Crescent”. This road is called a crescent(月牙) because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.8What does the underlined phrase “die hard” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?AChange suddenly.BCh

251、ange significantly.CDisappear mysteriously.DDisappear very slowly.9Which of the following places is named after a person?ARaffles Place.BSelector Airbase.CPiccadilly Circus.DPaya Lebar Crescent.10Bras Basah Road is named _.Aafter a personBafter a placeCafter an activityDby its shape11We learn from P

252、aragraph 1 that _.Athe government is usually the first to name a placeBmany places tend to have more than one nameCa ceremony will be held when a place is namedDpeople prefer the place names given by the government【答案】8D9A10C11B【解析】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍世界上不同地区的人们以类似的方式为地点命名，如：以先驱者的名字命名；以其他地点的名字命名；以活动的名称命名；以形

253、状命名等。8词义猜测题。从划线词“die hard”后句“and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.”可知，尽管其意义已消失很长时间，但人们仍然以非官方的名字来称呼该地方，所以“die hard”的词义应为：消失得很慢。故选D项。9细节理解题。根据第二段前两句可知，新加坡的许多道路和地方都被命名，以便后代记住这些先驱者。因此我们有Stamford Road 和Raffles Place广场这样的名字。所以Raffles Place应是指先驱者的名字。故选A

254、项。10细节理解题。根据第四段前两句“Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road is an interesting example,”可知，有些地方是以过去在这些地方进行的活动命名的。Bras Basah路就是一个有趣的例子。所以Bras Basah路是以活动命名的。故选C项。11推理判断题。从第一段“Frequently it happens that a place has two names: One is named by the peo

255、ple and the other by the government.”可知，一个地方有两个名字的事情经常发生，一个是由人们命名，一个是政府命名的，所以许多地方不只有一个名字，故选B项。 When we go out traveling,we need either a map or GPS to point us in the right direction.But bumblebees（大黄蜂）have neither of these things,yet they still know the best route.Why is that?It turns out that thes

258、 and it works for bumblebees.In the study,scientists set up five artificial flowers in a field.Each one of them was fitted with motion-triggered（运动触发的）cameras and had landing platforms with drops of sugar in the middle to attract the bees.At first,scientists noticed the bees flying routes were long

259、and complex.But after they gained enough experience,they gradually got to their destination quicker.Every time a bee tried a new route that was shorter than the route it had tried before,it was likely to use it again.Otherwise the new route would simply be given up and another one was tested.“The sp

260、eed at which they learn through trial and error is quite extraordinary for bumblebees,as this complex behavior was thought to be one that only larger-brained animals have,”Professor Lars Chittka,leader of the study,told S.In fact,the smart bumblebees dont try every possible route.Normally,they would

261、 only try about 20 out of the 120 possible routes to visit the flowers.More interestingly,scientists found that if they removed a flower,bees would continue looking at that location,even if it has been empty for a long time.“It seems bees dont easily forget a fruitful flower,”Chittka said.12The bumb

As a result, they perform (表现) poorly in their classes. This is especially true

283、 in the United States, where average scores for math and science are lower than in many other countries. In recent years, schools and charities have been looking for ways to help students get better grades in these subjects. An organization called the LMD Foundation introduced a program called Learn

284、 and Earn recently.In the program, money was used to get a group of students to study harder in math and science. In addition to the normal school day, they went to extracurricular classes for four hours each week. The students were paid eight dollars for each hour of the class. By the end of the ye

285、ar, the students in the program had higher grades than a similar group of students who had not taken part.Not everyone thinks that this is a good idea, though. TV reporter John Tulenko studied data (数据) from a similar program. He found that students grades went back down when they stopped getting pa

286、id. Many people are worried about this. They think that the students study because they want money, not because they enjoy learning. Also, some people believe that these types of programs are a bad idea because it is a large part of a teachers job to get students to study. If students are given mone

287、y, some teachers might stop trying to do this.However, others believe that these learning programs can be helpful for students from poor families. Many of these students do part-time jobs after school, and some even quit school at a young age to work. Some do this to help get money for their familie

288、s. Others feel that they can learn more by working than by going to school. Programs like Learn and Earn let these students stay in school and still make money.24What is true about many students in the United States?AThey are not allowed to receive help from organizations. BThey study more than stud

289、ents in other countries.CThey are doing poorly in math and science.DThey do not help their classmates get better grades.25Students in the Learn and Earn program _.Awere asked to help other students with poor gradesBwere given money if their grades went upCwere made to go to school during summer vaca

291、hers have started giving low grades to save money27What does the underlined word “extracurricular” in the second paragraph mean?Aafter-schoolBnormalCinformalDmoral【答案】24C25D26C27A【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了美国一个组织为提高学生的成绩而实施的一个“Learn and Earn”项目，这个项目旨在让学生通过在课后辅导班上课学习赚钱，人们对此项目褒贬不一。24细节理解题。根据第一段中This is especiall

292、y true in the United States, where average scores for math and science are lower than in many other countries.可知在美国尤其如此，数学和科学的平均分低于许多其他国家。由此可知，C选项“美国学生们的数学和科学成绩很差”正确。故选C。25细节理解题。根据第二段中In addition to the normal school day, they went to extracurricular classes for four hours each week. The students we

293、re paid eight dollars for each hour of the class.可知除了正常的上学日，他们还参加了每周四个小时的课外班。学生们每小时得到8美元的报酬。由此可知，参加“Learn and Earn”项目的学生们去课外辅导班学习可以挣钱。选D。26细节理解题。根据第三段中Also, some people believe that these types of programs are a bad idea because it is a large part of a teachers job to get students to study. If stude

294、nts are given money, some teachers might stop trying to do this.可知此外，有些人认为这些类型的项目是一个坏主意，因为让学生学习是教师工作的很大一部分。如果给学生钱，一些老师可能会停止这样做。由此可知，督促学生学习是老师的工作，但如果学生要给钱学习，一些老师可能会停止督促学生学习，所以有人认为“Learn and Earn”项目是一个坏主意。故选C。27词义猜测题。根据上文In addition to the normal school day除了正常的上学日。可知学生们参加的“Learn and Earn”项目是正常上学日之外的课

295、程，即课外的补习班。由此可知，划线词意思为“课外的”。A. after-school课外的，课后的；B. normal正常的；C. informal非正式的；D. moral 道德的。故选A。 If plastic had been invented when the Pilgrims sailed from Plymouth, England, to North America - and their Mayflower had been stocked with bottled water and plastic-wrapped snacks, their plastic waste wo

296、uld likely still be around four centuries later. Atlantic waves and sunlight would have worn all that plastic into tiny bits. And those bits might still be floating around the worlds oceans today, waiting to be eaten by some fish or oyster, and finally perhaps by one of us.Because plastic wasnt inve

297、nted until the late 19th century, and its production only really took off around 1950, we have a mere 9. 2 billion tons of the stuff to deal with. Of that, more than 6. 9 billion tons have become waste. And of that waste, a surprising 6. 3 billion tons never made it to a recycling bin - the figure t

298、hat shocked the scientists who published the numbers in 2017.No one knows how much unrecycled plastic waste ends up in the ocean, the earths last sink. In 2015, Jenna Jambeck, a University of Georgia engineering professor, caught everyones attention with a rough estimate: between 5. 3 million and 14

299、 million tons of plastic waste each year just come from coastal regions.Meanwhile, ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine( 海 洋 的 )animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. Some are harmed visibly, stuck by abandoned thing

300、s made of plastic. Many more are probably harmed invisibly. Marine species of all sizes, from zooplankton to whales, now eat microplastics, the bits smaller than one-fifth of an inch across.“This isnt a problem where we dont know what the solution is,” says Ted Siegler, a Vermont resource economist

301、who has spent more than 25 years working with developing nations on garbage. “We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to deal with it. We know how to recycle.” Its a matter of building the necessary institutions and systems, he says, ideally before the ocean turns into a thin s

303、trouble marine animals face according to the text?ALacking protection.BBeing stuck by plastics.CBeing caught by humans.DTreating plastics as food.30What does Ted Siegler want to tell us in the last paragraph?ASome people dont know the solution of plastics waste.BPlastics will turn the ocean into a s

304、oup of plastic.CIts time to take measures to deal with plastic waste.DPeople should avoid using plastics to protect the ocean.31From which is the text probably taken?AA biology textbook.BA travel brochure.CAn environmental report.DA lifestyle magazine.【答案】28D29D30C31C【解析】这是一篇说明文。如今塑料垃圾已经严重地污染了我们的环境，

305、尤其是海洋环境，人类应该采取错误改变这一现状。28推理判断题。根据第一段中And those bits might still be floating around the worlds oceans today, waiting to be eaten by some fish or oyster, and finally perhaps by one of us.可知这些碎片今天可能还漂浮在世界各地的海洋里，等着被一些鱼或牡蛎吃掉，最后可能被我们中的一个吃掉。由此可推知，作者在第一段中提到朝圣者是为了表明塑料垃圾对海洋有持久的影响。故选D。29细节理解题。根据第四段中Marine spec

306、ies of all sizes, from zooplankton to whales, now eat microplastics, the bits smaller than one-fifth of an inch across.可知各种大小的海洋生物，从浮游动物到鲸鱼，现在都吃塑料微粒，这些微粒的直径小于五分之一英寸。由此可知，海洋动物面临的主要问题是把塑料当作食物。故选D。30推理判断题。根据最后一段中“We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to deal with it. We know how

307、 to recycle.” Its a matter of building the necessary institutions and systems, he says, ideally before the ocean turns into a thin soup of plastic.可知“我们知道怎么捡垃圾。任何人都可以做到。我们知道如何处理它。我们知道如何回收。” 他说，关键是要建立必要的制度和体系，最好是在海洋变成一锅薄薄的塑料汤之前。由此可推知，Ted Siegler在最后一段想告诉我们是采取措施处理塑料垃圾的时候了。故选C。31推理判断题。根据文章内容主要是关于海洋垃圾和海洋

308、生物保护的，由此可推知，这篇文章可能来自一份环境报告。故选C。If Confucius (孔子) were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. Hed need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few

309、people in the United States will give him a passing thought. Its nothing personal. Most Americans dont even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.But this doesnt mean that Americans dont care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want t

310、o reach a deeper understanding of China.In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. T

311、he main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy (哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Western philosophy. Students in the United States，at the same time, are raci

312、ng to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.So the old thinkers ideas are still alive and well.Today China attr

313、acts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.32The opening paragraph is mainly intended to _.Aprovide some key facts about Confu

316、spaperDa philosophy textbook【答案】32B33A34D35C【解析】文章是新闻报道，主要讲述了外国人对中国文化的兴趣越来越浓，对于孔子的思想也越来越感兴趣这一社会现象。32推理判断题，由第一段“If Confucius (孔子) were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake,”说如果孔子还活着话，将会用大蛋糕庆祝他的生日，可以推出是吸引读者的兴趣，故选B项。33推理判断题，由第四段“Students in the United States，a

317、t the same time, are racing to learn Chinese.” 与此同时，美国的学生也在竞相学习中文。可以推出美国学生对学习汉语有很大的兴趣，故选A项。34主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由倒数后三段“So the old thinkers ideas are still alive and well.Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.As

318、for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.”可知，因此，这位老思想家的思想仍然很活跃。今天的中国比以往任何时候都更吸引西方，它需要更多的教师来向西方介绍孔子和中国文化。至于这位老思想家，即使是他的生日，他也不会被西方人遗忘。由此可知，短文的最佳标题为“西方人也热衷学习孔子思想”。故选D项。35推理判断题。本文主要讲述了外国人对中国文化的兴趣越来越浓，对于孔子的思想也越来越感兴趣。由此判断出短文很有可能是新闻报道的内容。故选C项。阅读理解【20

A new study shows that Americans are consuming as many as 121,000 particles each year.Measuring 50 to 500 micro

343、ns in length, microplastics come from a variety of sources, including large plastics that break down into smaller and smaller pieces. Therefore, much remains unknown about the common existence of these materials within the human body, as well as their impact on human health.Hoping to fill in some of

344、 these gaps, a research team led by Kieran Cox, a PhD candidate at the University of Victoria, looked at 26 papers assessing the amount of microplastics in commonly consumed food items, among which are seafood, sugars, salts, honey, alcohol and water. The team also evaluated the potential consumptio

354、遍存在还有很多未知之处，由此可知，微塑料颗粒的大小让我们很难知道它们普遍存在于人体中，故D项正确。9推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The team also evaluated the potential consumption of microplastics through inhalation （吸入）using previously reported data on microplastic concentrations in the air and the Environmental Protection Agencys reported respiration rates. Base

355、d on these data, the researchers calculated that our annual consumption of microplastics via food and drink ranges from 39,000 to 52,000 particles.”可知，基兰考克斯的研究小组还利用先前报告的空气中微塑性物质浓度数据和环境保护署报告的呼吸速率，评估了吸入过程中微塑料的潜在消耗量，根据这些数据，研究人员计算出，我们通过食品和饮料每年消耗的微塑料颗粒从39000到52000不等，由此可知，基兰考克斯的研究小组是通过分析数据来计算微塑料的潜在消耗量的，故C

356、项正确。10细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The authors of the study found that people who drink exclusively from plastic water bottles absorb an additional 90,000 microplastics each year, compared to 4,000 among those who only consume tap water.”可知，这项研究的作者发现，那些只喝塑料瓶装水的人每年会摄入90000个微塑料颗粒，而那些只喝自来水的人每年摄入4000个微塑料颗粒，由此可知，少喝塑料瓶装

357、水有助于减少微塑料的摄入，故A项正确。11主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第一段“Microplastics are everywhere in our environment. Its hardly surprising that the tiny fragments have also been found in humans. A new study shows that Americans are consuming as many as 121,000 particles each year.”可知，微塑料在我们的环境中无处不在，在人类身上也发现这些微小的碎片并不奇怪，一项新的研究表

358、明，美国人每年消耗的微塑料颗粒多达12.1万个，由此可知，本文主要介绍的是研究发现人体内含有大量的微塑料颗粒，故C项正确。Facial recognition technology is already widely used by governments and some advertising companies.

397、dea won wide attention last summer after a study published in the journal Science concluded that planting so many trees was “the most effective climate change solution to date”.If only it were true. But it isnt. Planting trees would slow down the planets warming, but the only thing that will save us

398、 and future generations from paying a huge price in dollars, lives and damage to nature is rapid and considerable reductions in carbon release from fossil fuels, to net zero by 2050.Focusing on trees as the big solution to climate change is a dangerous diversion(偏离). Worse still, it takes attention

406、亿棵树”来对抗气候变化的倡议，作者认为真正能解决问题的方法是迅速地大量减少碳排放。8细节理解题。根据第一段The trillion-tree idea won wide attention last summer after a study published in the journal Science concluded that planting so many trees was “the most effective climate change solution to date”.去年夏天，发表在科学杂志上的一项研究得出结论，大量种树是“迄今为止最有效的气候变化解决方案”，这 “一

407、万亿棵树”的想法赢得了广泛关注。可知，一万亿树的想法引起了公众的广泛关注。故选D项。9主旨大意题。根据第三段Focusing on trees as the big solution to climate change is a dangerous diversion(偏离). Worse still, it takes attention away from those responsible for the carbon release that are pushing us toward disaster. 把树木作为解决气候变化的主要办法是一种危险的转移。更糟糕的是，它把注意力从那些对

408、碳排放负责的人身上移开，正是这些人把我们推向灾难。因此，第3段主要论述了以植树来保护环境的缺点。故选A项。10推理判断题。根据最后一段In a sharp counter argument to last summers Paper in Science, Justin Gillis wrote in the same journal in October that the studys findings were inconsistent with the dynamics of the global carbon cycle. He warned that “the claim that

409、global tree restoration(复原) is our most effective climate solution is simply scientifically incorrect and dangerously misleading”. Justin Gillis在科学杂志上发表了与去年夏天科学杂志公布的研究结果截然相反的观点，他认为去年夏天公布的那个研究结果是不符合地球碳循环动力学的。同时，他发出警告：通过植树来解决气候问题是不科学的，是错误的，是危险的，是具有误导性的。推测，Justin Gillis对植树提议是持反对态度的。故选B项。11主旨大意题。结合全文，文章

410、论述了作者不赞成美国总统Trump响应 “种一万亿棵树”来对抗气候变化的倡议，作者认为真正能解决问题的方法是迅速地大量减少碳排放，种树的想法是不科学的，且具有误导性。C项“植树不会拯救世界。”符合文章主旨，适合作为标题。故选C项。 The Jewish(犹太人）family-had-just finished supper and the woman had placed the dishes in the sink.The kitchen was quite damp and even gloomier than in the main room.It was their third apa

427、知划线句意的意思是“父亲又过了两三分钟，孩子才打开门。”故选D。13推理判断题。根据第8段“Il1 open up in a minute,Im just looking for the keys,the child called out. Then he ran back to the main room,making a lot of noise with his feet.He ran in circles around the table,pulled out one of the sideboard drawers,and slammed it shut. “我马上就开门，我只是在找

428、钥匙。”孩子叫道。然后他跑回主屋，用脚弄出很大的声响。他绕着桌子跑了一圈，拉出一个餐具柜抽屉，砰地关上。和下文中的hes got to make more noise-he should stamp his feet louder.“他得弄出更多的声音他跺脚的声音应该更大一些。”由此推知，这个男孩在找钥匙的时候之所以发出这么大的声音，是因为他需要淹没他父亲发出的噪音。故选A。14推理判断题。根据第1315段中At last it opened.The man was pale and his clothes were streaked with lime and dust.He stood t

429、here,eyes blinking in that funny way. 最后它打开了。那人脸色苍白，衣服上布满了石灰和灰尘。他站在那里，眼睛眨得很滑稽。“Well?How did it go?asked the woman. “嗯?进展如何?”女人问。“I still need more time.He has to look for them longer.I slip in sideways all right,but then.Its so tight in there that when I turn.And hes got to make more noise-he should

430、 stamp his feet louder. “我还需要更多的时间。他不得不花更长的时间去寻找它们。我侧身滑了进去，但后来里面太紧了，我一转身他必须制造更多的噪音他应该跺脚更大声。”由此可知，母亲用疲惫、平淡的声音重复着“关上门”，而不是先前那句温柔的话是因为她很失望，因为男孩的举动再次泄露了她丈夫的行踪。故选C。15标题判断题。根据第三段It was late,past ten oclock and they could have gone to sleep,but first they had to play the game that they had been playing eve

431、ry day for two weeks.“时间已经很晚了，10点多了，他们本来可以去睡觉的，但是他们必须先玩他们已经玩了两个星期的游戏。”和第四段“Well play the key game just one more time only today.Isnt that right?she asked her husband. “我们只会在今天再玩一次找钥匙的比赛。好吗?”她问丈夫。这篇文章讲述了一个找钥匙比赛。所以B项为最佳标题。故选B。阅读理解【黑龙江省哈尔滨市一中2020-2021学年高三上学期开学测试】 You may have your favorite family spots
