[课时作业评价] 主题阅读集群训练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2024·杭州模拟)Kenya has been at the forefront (前沿) of the global war on plastic since the government banned single－use plastics in protected areas in June 2020.Unfortunately, the preventive measures have barely received attention.Hundreds of tons of industrial and consumer polymer waste continue to get dumped into landfills daily.However, if_29－year－old_Nzambi_Matee_has_her_will,_the_unsightly_plastic_heaps_will_soon_be_transformed_into_colorful_bricks. The material engineer's seeking to find a practical solution to control plastic pollution began in 2017. She quit her job and set up a small lab in her mother's backyard.It took her nine months to produce the first brick and even longer to convince a partner to help set up the machinery to make them.But the determined eco－entrepreneur was confident in her idea and did not give up. She says, “I wanted to use my education to handle plastic waste pollution.But I was very clear that the solution had to be practical, sustainable, and affordable.The best way to do this was by channeling the waste into the construction space and finding the most efficient and affordable material to build homes.” Her company produces over 1,500 bricks a day.The pavers are made using a mix of plastic products that cannot be reprocessed or recycled. The collected plastic is mixed with sand, heated at very high temperatures, and compressed (压缩) into bricks that vary in color and thickness. The resulting product is stronger, lighter, and about 30 percent cheaper than concrete bricks.More importantly, it helps repurpose the lowest quality of plastic. “There is that waste they cannot process anymore; they cannot recycle.That is what we get，” Matee says. Matee is not nearly done.Her dream is to reduce the mountain of trash to just a hill by increasing production and expanding her offerings.She says, “The more we recycle the plastic, the more we will produce affordable housing, the more we will create employment for the youth.” 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。肯尼亚的Nzambi Matee利用回收的塑料和沙子混合在一起制作成建筑用砖来解决塑料污染问题。 1．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 imply? A．Matee's method can be effective if adopted. B．Matee's idea has been widely accepted. C．Colorful bricks are in huge demand. D．Plastic waste hasn't attracted enough attention. 解析：选A　句意理解题。画线句的上一句讲到肯尼亚推出的解决塑料污染的方案并不起作用。画线句出现在转折词However之后，据此可以推断，画线句讲的应该是一个有效的解决塑料污染的方案，故A项“如果被采纳，Matee的方法肯定很有效”与画线句的意思最为接近。 2．Which of the following can best describe Nzambi Matee? A．Generous and ambitious. B．Confident and grateful. C．Creative and resolved. D．Optimistic and modest. 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第二段中的最后一句可以看出，Nzambi Matee是一个意志坚定的(resolved)人；根据第三段中的“The best way to do this was by channeling the waste into the construction space”和常识可知，Nzambi Matee解决塑料垃圾的方法很有创意(creative)，故C项最能概括她的性格。 3．What is Nzambi Matee's ultimate purpose in using a mix of plastic products? A．To build cheaper houses. B．To support the government. C．To create job opportunities. D．To tackle plastic pollution. 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“More importantly, it helps repurpose the lowest quality of plastic.”可知，Nzambi Matee制造彩色塑料砖的终极目标是解决塑料污染，故D项正确。repurpose“把……改变用途”。 4．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．Kenya：Pioneer in Banning Single－use Plastics B．Nzambi Matee：Innovator in Solving Plastic Waste C．Mix of Plastic Products：a New Construction Material D．Plastic Recycling：a Creative Solution to Pollution 解析：选B　标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了29岁的肯尼亚女孩Nzambi Matee创造性地把回收的塑料和沙子混合在一起制作成建筑用砖来解决塑料污染问题的故事，故B项“Nzambi Matee：解决塑料污染的创新者”最适合作本文的标题。 B (2024·广东名校模拟)More than 85% of the world's bird and animal species live in mountains, particularly in forest habitats, but researchers report in the journal One Earth on March 17 that these forests are disappearing at an accelerating rate. Though their uneven location once protected mountain forests from deforestation, they have been increasingly exploited since the turn of the 21st century as lowland areas become depleted. A team of scientists led by Xinyue He, Dominick Spracklen and Joseph Holden at Leeds University in the United Kingdom, and Zhenzhong Zeng at the Southern University of Science and Technology in China wanted to investigate the extent and global distribution of mountain forest loss. To do this, the team tracked changes in mountain forests on a yearly basis from 2001 to 2018. They quantified both losses and gains in tree cover, estimated the rate at which change is occurring, compared different charts and types of mountain forests — boreal, temperate, tropical — and explored the impacts of this forest loss on biodiversity. They found that logging was the biggest driver of mountain forest loss overall (42%), followed by wildfires (29%), shifting or “slash－and－burn” cultivation (15%), and permanent or semi－permanent agriculture (10%), though the importance of these different factors varied from region to region. Significant loss occurred in Asia, South America, Africa, Europe, and Australia, but not in North America and Oceania. Worryingly, the rate of mountain forest loss seems to be accelerating: the annual rate of loss increased by 50% from 2001－2009 to 2010－2018, when we lost approximately 5.2 million hectares of mountain forests per year. The authors write that this acceleration is probably largely due to rapid agricultural expansion into highland areas in mainland Southeast Asia, as well as increased logging of mountain forests either due to decrease of lowland forests or because these lowland forests became protected. “Any new measure to protect mountain forests should be adapted to local conditions and contexts and need to reconcile (兼顾) the need for enhanced forest protection with ensuring food production and human well－being.” the authors write. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了野生动物赖以生存的山地森林面积损失严重及科学家对其进行的细致的研究和分析。 5．What do we know about the report in One Earth? A．It focuses on birds and animals. B．It is written by an Englishman. C．It's about mountain forests. D．It deals with the endangered species. 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第一段可知，该报告关注的是山地森林的消失。 6．What does the underlined word “depleted” probably mean in paragraph 2? A．Raised.　　　　　 B．Expanded. C．Divided. D．Reduced. 解析：选D　词义猜测题。根据第二段第一句可知，自21世纪以来，人们转向开发地势不平坦的山地，是因为低洼地区已被开发殆尽，故推测depleted意为“耗尽，减少”。 7．Which of the following accounts for most of the mountain forest loss? A．People's cutting down trees. B．Strongly burning forest fires. C．People's traditional farming method. D．High frequency of extreme weather. 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第四段第一句可知，人们砍伐树木造成了最严重的山林损失。 8．What is probably the best title for the text? A．Mountain Forests Are Being Lost at Increasing Speed B．Rapidly－Lost Mountain Forests Put Wildlife at Risk C．Protecting Mountain Forests Benefits Human Well－Being D．Forest Protection Ensures Food Production for Humans 解析：选A　标题归纳题。根据第一段并结合下文科学家通过调查研究得出的山地森林损失的具体数据可知，本文主要介绍了山地森林面积损失加剧并分析了具体原因。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 How to Reduce Paper Waste ·Write on both sides of the paper.
