Not long after that, he decided to dedic
42、ate(献身) his life to this effort, so he moved to the site in order that he could work full-time creating a new forest ecosystem. Unbelievably, the spot today hosts a sprawling(蔓延的) 1360 acres of jungle that Payeng single-handedly planted. The Times of India recently caught up with Payeng in his remot
43、e forest cottage to learn more about how he came to leave such an unbelievable mark on the landscape. It all started way back in 1979, when floods washed a large number of snakes ashore on the sandbar. One day after the floods, Payeng, only 16 then, found the place dotted with the dead snakes. That
44、was the turning point of his life. “The snakes died in the heat without any tree cover. I sat down and wept over their lifeless bodies. I asked the forest department if they could grow trees there. They said nothing would grow there. Instead, they asked me to try growing bamboo. It was painful, but
45、I did it. There was nobody to help me. Nobody was interested, ” says Payeng, now 47. While its taken years for Payengs remarkable dedication to planting to receive some well-deserved recognition internationally, it didnt take long for wildlife in the region to benefit from the forest. Demonstrating
46、a keen understanding of ecological balance, Payeng even transplanted ants to his ecosystem to maintain its natural harmony. Soon the shadeless sandbar was transformed into a natural ecosystem. The forest, called the Molai woods, now serves as a safe habitat for numerous birds, deer, rhinos, tigers a
47、nd elephants. Despite Payengs outstanding project, forestry officials in the region first learned of this new forest in 2008, and since then theyve come to recognize his efforts as truly remarkable, but perhaps not enough. “Were amazed at Payeng, ” says Gunin Saikia, Assistant Conservator of Forests

55、has reached a satisfying answer. Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to solve global warming.

Scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainforest will manage in the future by understanding how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past.
57、Unfortunately, collecting information is incredibly difficult. To study the past climate, scientists need to look at fossilized pollen (花粉) kept in lake mud.

The narrow path. 【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据文中的第三段 Going back to the last ice age means drilling down into lake sediment, which requires specialized equipment and heavy machinery. 回到上一个冰河时代意味着下钻到湖泊里的沉淀物, 这需要专门的设备和重型机械。C 选项错在 ligh

Only when the fact 65. _ out, will we know it. 【文章大意】这是一篇科普说明文, 讲述气候变暖的原因以及不同的科学家对这起自然事情的态度和观点。56. 【解析】global。考查词性转换。修饰名词, 应当用形容词。故填global。57. 【解析】natural。考查形容词。句意: 毫无疑问就是人类活动导致全球变暖而不是一种自然现象。修饰名词phenomenon, 前用形容
96、词形式。故填natural。58. 【解析】burning。考查非谓语动词。句意: 所以科学家都持有这样的观点, 那就是温度上升源于化石燃料的燃烧。这里根据科学常识得出这一结论, 那就是. . . of前后都应该是名词结构, 这样表示名词所有格形式。burn本身是动词, 所以要改成现在分词作名词。故填burning。59. 【解析】which。考查非限制性定语从句。句意: 这个进程中产生的副产品被称之为“温室气体”, 其中最重要的一种就是二氧化碳。句中先行词为gases, 作介词of的宾语, 介词后只能用关系代词which。故填which。60. 【解析】would be。考查虚拟语气。句意:
97、 如果没有这些温室效应, 地球会比现在凉爽得多。这里Without作假设意义讲, 如果引导对现在情况或发生的事情进行虚拟, 所以后面主句应该用would +动词原形。故填would be。61. 【解析】But。考查连词。句意: 但是当我们排放过量的额外的二氧化碳到空气中之后, 问题就出现了。这里之所以填“但是”, 是因为逻辑顶承上面刚刚说过的句子So we need those gases. 所以我们需要这些气体。为什么需要? 如果没有这些气体的话, 地球会变得很冷, 温度会很低, 这不利于农作物生长等情况都会发生。这里的逻辑是所以需要它, 但又不能有太多的这样的气体, 不然的话, 会物极必
98、反。故填But。62. 【解析】trapped。考查过去分词。句意: 更多的热能被困在大气里, 这导致全球气温升高。名词heat energy与trap之间是被动关系, 所以用过去分词。故填trapped。63. 【解析】completely。考查副词。句意: 然而, 科学家对于气温升高的态度完全不同。修饰形容词different, 用副词来修饰的。故填completely。64. 【解析】to。考查介词。句意: 一些人认为持续的温度上升会导致灾难发生, 而另一些人则持反对意见。be opposed to 表示“反对”的意思, to是介词。故填to。65. 【解析】comes。考查主谓一致。主
99、语是第三人称。根据上下文可知when引导的从句应当用一般现在时, 故填comes。第四部分写作(共两节, 满分40分)第一节(满分15分)假定你叫李华, 是某校高二(2)班的学生。你在校报英语专栏看到了学校“英语文化节”的一则招募启事。Volunteer WantedOur English Festival, which is to be held on December 20-23, is now looking for 20 volunteers to provide service for Talent Show and English Speech Contest.
