Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
When she first started learning about the climate change from one of her elders,Fawn Sharp was invited on a helicopter flight over the Olympic Mountains to survey the Mount Anderson glacier.But the glacier was gone,melted by the warming climate.Sharp had a deep sense of loss when she discovered the glacier wasn't there anymore.
Loss is a growing issue for people working and living on the front lines of climate change.And that gave Jennifer Wren Atkinson,a fulltime lecturer at the University of Washington Bothell,US,an idea for a class.
This term,she taught students on the Bothell campus about the emotional burdens of environmental studies.She used the experiences of Native American tribes (部落),scientists and activists,and asked her 24 students to face the reality that there is no easy fix—that “this is such an intractable problem that they're going to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives.”
Student Cody Dillon used to be a climate science skeptic (怀疑论者).Then he did his own reading and research,and changed his mind.
Dillon wasn't going into environmental work—he was a computerscience major.Yet,the potential for a worldwide environmental catastrophe seemed so real to him five years ago that he quit his job and became a fulltime volunteer for an environmental group that worked on restoration (恢复) projects.
Six months into the work,he decided that Atkinson's class was just what he was looking for—a place where he could discuss his concerns about a changing climate.
Atkinson said she hoped the class helped her students prepare themselves for the amount of environmental loss that will happen over their lifetimes.
“We are already changing the planet—so many species are going to be lost,displaced or massively impacted,” she said.“The future isn't going to be what they imagined.”

The African elephant,the largest land animal remaining on earth,is of great importance to African ecosystem.Unlike other animals,the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment.As a big planteater,it largely shapes the forest and savanna (大草原) surroundings in which it lives,therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat.
It is the elephant's great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat.In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day,it kills small trees and underbushes,and pulls branches off big trees.This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas.In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other planteaters.
Take the rain forests for example.In their natural state,the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor.By pulling down trees and eating plants,elephants make open spaces,allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor.In such situations,the forests become suitable for large hoofed planteaters to move around and for small planteaters to get their food as well.
What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species.If the elephant disappears,scientists say,many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna,greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.

[语篇解读] 本文是一篇议论文。文章谈论了由于人类的发展,自然界遭受了巨大的损失,并呼吁只有人类的巨大努力才能对所造成的破坏做出积极的改变。
1.suffers/has suffered/has been suffering 考查动词的时态。根据上文中的“Over the last 200 years the...on the earth”可知,此处可用一般现在时,描述现实情况;也可以用现在完成时表示过去的动作对现在的影响;也可以用现在完成进行时,表示过去开始的动作一直持续到现在,并有继续下去的趋势。主语为第三人称单数,主谓应一致,故填 suffers/has suffered/has been suffering。
2.production 考查名词。根据前文中的介词for 可知,此处应用名词 production 作介词的宾语,production 是不可数名词,故填 production。
