[课时作业评价] 主题阅读集群训练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2024·郑州模拟)It was a sight you don't normally see: a jellyfish lying dead in the middle of a parking lot partly flooded in water.But this was no ordinary parking lot.This particular section downtown Annapolis, Maryland, is among a growing number of areas easily affected by frequent hightide flooding in the seaside town.
Hightide floods, also known as sunnyday floods, occur when tides reach anywhere from 1.75 to 2 feet above the daily average high tide and start spilling onto streets.These floods are usually not related to storms.They typically occur during high tides.The gravitational pull of the Moon drives the tides.Winds can also influence how high the tides come in.Then there are the climate patterns like El Nio (厄尔尼诺现象), which lead to higherthannormal sea levels along both the U.S.East and West coasts.And, of course, the most powerful driver is sea level rise itself.Because of rising seas driven by climate change, the frequency of this kind of flood has dramatically increased in recent years.The ocean is rising at about 3.3 millimeters, or 0.13 inches a year, mostly due to the melting of landbased ice and the heated expansion of ocean water, according to NASA.
Defenses are built in response to the hightide floods.Half a mile up the road from Downtown Annapolis, the U.S.Naval Academy is beating back water: a seawall built alongside the river, flood walls protecting campus buildings, and classroom floors and walls made of concrete or painted cinder block — materials more resistant to flooding than carpet, wood and drywall.
Still, David Kriebel, a professor of ocean engineering at the U.S.Naval Academy, said, the water is rising fast, and much of this flood protection will only last for a few decades.At that point, additional measures will have to be taken.“You can build walls, you can add inflow preventers and you can protect areas that are worth protecting, but eventually, water's going to find its way through the holes,” he said.“You're not really meant to hold back the tides.”
语篇解读:本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了由于气候变化,海平面上升,涨潮洪水也越来越频繁。马里兰州安纳波利斯市正试图保护建筑物不受洪水的影响。
1.What is the function of the first paragraph?
A.To introduce the main topic.
B.To share an unusual finding.
C.To warn people to protect animals.
D.To make a phenomenon convincing.
解析:选A 推理判断题。第一段描述了马里兰州安纳波利斯市中心的一个部分被水淹的停车场中央躺着一只水母,由这一奇特的现象引出“hightide flooding (涨潮洪水)”这一话题,所以第一段的作用是引入主题。
2.Which of the following contributes most to the increase of hightide floods?
A.Winds.
B.Climate change.
C.Moon's gravity.
D.Certain climate patterns.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第二段中“And, of course, the most powerful driver is sea level rise itself ...has dramatically increased in recent years.”可知,气候变化导致海平面上升,是造成涨潮洪水增加的最大原因。
3.What does David Kriebel feel about the situation in a few decades?
A.Curious. B.Uncertain.
C.Confident. D.Worried.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据最后一段可推知,大卫·克里贝尔对未来几十年可能出现的情况感到担忧。
4.What's the suitable title for the text?
A.The Future World: Worth the Wait
B.Climate Crisis: Solutions on the Way
C.Rising Waters: Beating Back the Tides
D.Downtown Annapolis: Emerged under Water
解析:选C 标题归纳题。通读全文,尤其是第一段可知,文章报道了海平面上升,涨潮洪水也越来越频繁,马里兰州安纳波利斯市正在采取措施试图保护城市不受洪水的影响,所以C项(涨潮:击退潮水)是最佳标题。
B
Residents of South Asia already regularly experience heat waves at the current level of warming.But a new study in Geophysical Research Letters projecting the amount of heat stress residents of the region will experience in the future finds with 2℃ of warming, the population's exposure to heat stress will increase by two times.
“The future looks bad for South Asia, but the worst can be avoided by containing warming to as low as possible,” said Moetasim Ashfaq, the corresponding author of the new study.“The need for adaptation over South Asia is today, not in the future.It's not a choice anymore.”
Earth has warmed by 1℃ since the start of the Industrial Revolution, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.It may reach 1.5℃ of warming in 2040.This deadline leaves little time for South Asian countries to adapt.“Only half a degree increase from today is going to cause a widespread increase in heat events,” Ashfaq said.
People living in South Asia are especially affected by deadly heat waves because the area already experiences particularly hot summers.Almost one quarter of the world's population lives in South AsiA.Much of the population live in populated cities without regular access to air conditioning, and about 60% perform agricultural work and can't escape the heat by staying indoors.
Controlling warming to 1.5℃ will likely cut that exposure in half, but large numbers of people across South Asia will still experience extreme temperatures.An increase in heat events that create unsafe labor conditions is likely to occur in major crop producing regions in India, such as West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh.Coastal regions and urban centers such as Karachi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Peshawar are also likely to be heavily affected, according to the study.
“Even at 1.5℃, South Asia will have serious consequences in terms of heat stress,” Ashfaq said.“That's why there is a need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (排放).”
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。一项新的研究预测了南亚居民在未来将经历的气候变暖所带来的困难。研究发现,随着气候变暖,南亚居民面临的压力将增加很多。
5.What does Moetasim Ashfaq stress in paragraph 2?
A.The difficulty of controlling warming.
B.The way to cut exposure to heat stress.
C.The urgency of handling climate change.
D.The bright future for South Asian countries.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第二段穆塔西姆·阿什法克所说的话,尤其是“The need for adaptation over South Asia is today, not in the future.It's not a choice anymore.”可知,他强调了应对气候变化的紧迫性。
6.What can be known about residents in South Asia?
A.They've been suffering a lot from heat.
B.They're actually poor at growing crops.
C.They generally live far from each other.
D.They have easy access to air conditioning.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第四段可知,南亚的居民一直以来深受热浪的折磨。
7.What damage will the heat waves bring to India?
A.It will harm crop production.
B.It will cut down labor demand.
C.It will cause more air pollution.
D.It will lead to crowding in cities.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“An increase in heat events that create unsafe labor conditions is likely to occur in major crop producing regions in India, such as West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh.”可知,热浪可能会危及印度的粮食生产。
8.What does Moetasim Ashfaq think of limiting warming to 1.5℃?
A.It is not possible at all.
B.It is still far from enough.
C.It frees people from heat stress.
D.It helps to improve population.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据最后一段可推断,穆塔西姆·阿什法克认为将增加的温度控制在1.5℃依然是远远不够的,还需要进一步采取措施应对气候变暖。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
(2024·大连模拟)Many of the vegetables we grow in our gardens produce seeds, which can grow into plants if collected and stored correctly. Late summer is the perfect time to start collecting them.
Make sure the seeds are from plants that you have planted well for many years. These are plants in their normal forms.__9__
Hybridized (杂交) plants usually produce the vegetables sold in big food stores.They are created from two or more different kinds of plants to get the best qualities of each. Trying to grow seeds from these plants will not lead to happy results. This kind of plants will not have the expected results but instead carry the genes of just one of its parents. __10__ For this reason, it is best not to grow seeds from storebought food.
Many plants become crosspollinated (异花授粉) in the garden. Bees, flies, animals and wind spread pollen (花粉) from one plant to another. To ensure the seeds will grow into plants, give them space. __11__
To avoid crosspollination surprises, plant only one kind of each vegetable from which you can harvest seeds. __12__ Grow only one kind of tomato in your garden. If that feels too limiting, go ahead and experiment. Choose plants that grow well every year so there are smaller risks from crosspollination. The plants will be fine even if they are not what you expected.
__13__ Add something to the container to prevent any remaining wetness. But take it out after a few days to avoid over drying the seeds.
A.When will the seeds come out the flowers?
B.It is impossible to tell which parent that will be.
C.What should you do if you want to save tomato seeds?
D.Their seeds will produce plants as good as their parents.
E.Put seeds in a cool, dry place in a covered glass container.
F.Place different kinds of the same crop as far apart as possible.
G.In areas with cold winters, simply leave plants in the ground over winter.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何收集花园里种植的蔬菜的种子。
9.选D 根据空前可知,你在收集花园里种植的蔬菜的种子时,应该选择你种植了很多年的种子,此空应该提到其结果,D项符合语境。
10.选B 根据空后可知,不要从商店出售的蔬菜中去获取种子,结合空前,因为这些蔬菜都是杂交植物,而且这些植物只携带了其中的一个亲本基因,故B项符合语境,承接前文。
11.选F 根据空前可知,花园里异花授粉的方式有蜜蜂、苍蝇等将花粉从一种植物传播到另一种植物上,为了确保它们生产,需要给它们空间,故F项符合语境。
12.选C 根据上下文可知,空前提到为了避免异花授粉,建议只种一种蔬菜从而获得种子,空后举出例子只种一种番茄,故C项符合语境。
13.选E 根据空后推知,要把种子放置干燥的地方。故E项符合题意,container是关键词。
