2024年浙江卷阅读理解C篇分析与二次利用讲义-2024届高三英语一轮复习

2024年浙江卷C篇分析与二次利用 On September 7, 1991, the costliest(形容此次雹暴造成的巨大损失) hailstorm (雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary’ southern suburbs(Project产生的背景). As a result, since 1996, a group of insurance companies(保险公司损失巨大，因此联合起来) have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project(Project应运而生). Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones(Project的具体操作方法及目的). But farmers in east-central Alberta — downwind of the hail project flights — worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding(该Project引发的担忧). 可能的命题点1：由于第一段围绕project展开，因此可以确立一个命题点(尤其是目的)。类似的介绍一个project/program的高考题还包括2023年2卷B篇(介绍一个劳动项目)；2022年1卷C篇(介绍养老院养鸡项目); 2021年1卷C篇(介绍保护水禽法案); 2019年2卷(介绍HUNCH program解决太空中的细菌问题)；这些高考题是命题很好的参考与学习范式。 e.g. What do we know about Alberta Hail Suppression Project?  A. It was set up by provincial government.  B. It is favored by farmers in east-central Alberta.  C. It is aimed at turning small ice crystals into rain.  D. It is carried out by people from the ground.      Norman Stienwand, who farms in that area, has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years. “Basically, the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect the Calgary-Edmonton urban area from hail,” Mr. Stienwand says, “but they’re increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.” (当地农民与政府之间关于该project的观点不同) 可能的命题点2: 从整体来看，文章陈述了两方反对或怀疑的态度，一个是农场主，一方是科学家，而农场主作为直接利益方，对人工降雨带来的影响更为关注，因此有必要考查学生关于农场主的立场，即他们为什么对该project持保留态度，由于态度比较明显，个人感觉不太会考到what's the farmers' attitude towards this project?  e.g. Why are farmers like Mr. Stienwand against the project? A. It leads to a lack of drinking water. B. It costs a large amount of money every year.C. It might increase the chance of flooding. D. It might cause a shortage of water for crops.      The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weather Modificati
