Unit 2 Saving the Earth 单元话题阅读理解练习 （23-24九年级上·福建龙岩·阶段练习）There is a place named Shark Bay (鲨鱼湾) in the western Australia. At least 28 kinds of sharks are swimming through the clear water there—the largest in the world. Especially tiger sharks are common visitors to Shark Bay. They move their 15-foot-long (4.5 meters) bodies through the seagrass, sometimes catching huge sea cows for a meal. Although tiger sharks are dangerous to them, they are important to the health of the ocean ecosystem (生态系统). In fact, they can also be our powerful friends in stopping climate change. It all comes back to the seagrass that moves with the waves in Shark Bay. The seagrass is food for the sea cows. Each eats about 40 kilograms of seagrass a day. By controlling the sea cow populations, tiger sharks in Shark Bay help the seagrass beds grow. A good seagrass bed stores twice as much CO2 per square mile as forests do on land. But in the world, tiger shark populations are becoming smaller, including some populations in Australia. Off Australia’s north-east coast of Queensland, it is said that tiger sharks have fallen by at least 71%, largely because of overfishing and by catch (误捕). A reduction in tiger sharks means more seagrass eaten and less carbon kept in the ocean. In Shark Bay, the tiger sharks are able to achieve the balance by keeping sea cow populations down, and not all the bay’s seagrass is lost. But here comes the question: What if sharks disappeared from the bay? The need to understand how they support their ecosystems becomes even more urgent (紧迫的). 1．What can we know from Paragraph 1? A．Tiger sharks eat sea cows. B．The tiger shark is the largest of its kind. C．A seagrass bed is about 4.5 meters long. D．Sea cows are harmful to the ocean ecosystem. 2．What does the underlined word “they” refer to? A．Visitors. B．Sea cows. C．Tiger sharks. D．Seagrass beds. 3．How much seagrass can two sea cows eat a day? A．20 kg. B．40 kg. C．60 kg. D．80 kg. 4．What’s the situation of tiger sharks? A．They are overfishing sea cows. B．They are moving out of Australia. C．Their populations are becoming smaller. D．Their living condition is becoming worse. 5．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Climate change may be worse. B．Sharks are very important to the seagrass. C．There will be more sea cows in the future. D．Human should take action to protect the ecosystem. （23-24九年级上·福建龙岩·阶段练习）When studying a map of China, have you noticed the Mu Us Desert (毛乌素沙地) in the northwest? If not, then you may never see it. That’s because the desert is disappearing. You might wonder: Why is this happening? Who is the “killer”? In fact, it is the result of years of efforts of planting trees. The Mu Us Desert used to be one of the largest deserts in China. Sandstorms were common in northern Shaanxi. As a result, lots of people had to leave their homes. The fight against desertification (沙漠化) began in the 1970s. The work was more than tiring. He Li led (带领) a team to plant trees in Bulanghe, a town in Yulin, Shaanxi. However, a strong wind blew away all the young trees. It was no use crying. The next day, the team replanted all the trees. In Yulin, there were many other sandstorm fighters. One of them was Guo Chengwang. In 1985, the government encouraged local people to plant trees. Then he started to plant trees in his village. Now Guo is over 100 years old. His children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren are still working on this job. Up to now, the family has turned 30 km² of desert into woods. These trees have made a big difference. In Yulin, the number of sandy days has dropped from 100 in 2000 to 10 last year. With the sandstorm fighters’ continuing efforts, the Mu Us Desert will disappear. Our motherland is becoming greener and lovelier. 1．The Mu Us Desert is disappearing because of ________. A．sandstorms B．strong winds C．desertification D．more trees planted 2．When did the fight against desertification start? A．In the 1960s. B．In the 1970s. C．In 1985. D．In 2000. 3．The writer takes Guo Chengwang as an example to show ________. A．the government has taken many measures to fight against desertification B．human can change deserts into forests C．many people have joined in fighting against sandstorms D．planting trees can make a person live longer 4．Which of the following is TRUE? A．The Mu Us Desert is the largest desert in China. B．There used to be fewer sandstorms in northern Shaanxi. C．He Li cried after the wind blew away all the young trees. D．Efforts to fight against desertification have got good results. 5．The passage probably comes from a(n) ________. A．notice B．newspaper C．poster D．interview （23-24九年级上·福建龙岩·阶段练习）Reusing and recycling may sound similar. But they are actually quite different from each other. Recycling has become more and more popular around the world in the last 20 or 30 years, while people have reused materials throughout history. Nowadays, people are talking more about reusing as a better alternative (选择) to recycling. So how is reusing different from recycling? Well, reusing something means that the object is still used for its original (最初的) purpose. The goal of reuse is to help objects and materials lengthen (延长) their lives. If you have an old fan, for example, you can reuse it by giving it to someone else. Maybe that person can repair it or improve it, but he still uses it as a fan. Recycling it, on the other hand, means the fan is taken apart. Its parts are used in different ways in new objects. When you give away clothes for other people to wear, that is reusing them. Cutting clothes up into rags (碎布) is recycling them. More people are now paying more attention to reusing than recycling. They believe reusing should be our first step before we think about recycling. Reusing uses less energy than recycling. It also causes less environmental damage, because recycling often means that materials must be broken down or melted (熔解) in factories. Clearly, both reusing and recycling will be important as we all try to reduce the waste. But perhaps recycling less should actually be our new goals—because it means we are all reusing more! 1．Mrs. Jones has an old bike. Which of the following is the best choice for the environment? A．She will throw it away behind her house because it takes up much space of her house. B．Her neighbor wants an old bike. Mrs. Jones will give it to her neighbor to use. C．She will sell it to a bike factory. The factory will recycle it. D．She will just throw it away as rubbish at a waste station. 2．Why does the writer take the examples of “a fan and clothes” in Paragraphs 3 and 4? A．To explain the difference between reusing and recycling. B．To prove the disadvantages of recycling. C．To give people two choices to deal with the waste. D．To advise people to choose to reuse the waste. 3．What does the underlined word “damage” mean? A．环保 B．绿化 C．阻挠 D．破坏 4．What is the reading mostly about? A．The idea of reusing has been around longer in history than recycling. B．Reusing is more helpful than recycling in saving the earth. C．Reusing and recycling have become more popular over the past twenty or thirty years. D．Recycling catches more people’s eye because it’s a better way to reduce the waste. 5．The word “it” in the last sentence refers to ________.

An interesting question: what happens when people in poorer countries raise their living standard and demand more meat in their diet? Imagine trying to feed nine billion people with enough meat. In short, it’s simply impossible. Australian journalist and science writer, Julian Cribb, explains the challenges the world feces in feeding nine billion people by the year 2050. Cribb says there is a big problem in the food system in the developed world, at least. As more and more people move toward city centers, the less and less, they know about where their food comes from. Most think food simply grows on supermarket shelves, and they don’t consider the environmental effects of food production. Food has many hidden cost huge volumes of water, energy use and land degradation (退化). Consumers add their own costs by simply throwing away a lot of food. The food waste in West is staggering. To solve this problem of public ignorance (无知) about food, Cribb suggests that food should be taught as a subject at primary school. This would help to create a future generation that could better deal with the world’s coming food challenges. This measure can help to raise a generation of .educated consumers, more productive farmers, and so on. Cribb offers other solutions and suggestions as well. One is to increase the funding for agriculture (农业) science. He suggested organic (有机的) farming should be understood on a scientific basis, changing people’s thinking to one of a new form of “environmental agriculture” to get the very best out of organic farming systems. He says we should stop wasting food and learn how to grow food more cheaply. We should use less water as water is one of the main inputs into food production. Cribb also suggests eating more fruit and vegetables. 1．In the second paragraph, one problem of the food system in developed countries is ________. A．increasing ignorance about the means of food production B．an increasing number of people moving to city centers C．the increasing number of food waste D．the increasing cost of food production 2．What does the underlined word “staggering” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese? A．令人困惑的 B．令人吃惊的 C．令人恐惧的 D．令人满意的 3．According to Julian Cribb, what is the aim of making food a subject at school? A．To strengthen public awareness (意识) of food. B．To help students understand how to grow food. C．To develop agricultural science. D．To encourage organic fanning. 4．Which of the following may the writer disagree with? A．The public should save food and save water. B．Organic agriculture costs a lot in terms of resources. C．More money should be used for agricultural science. D．People should eat more fruit and vegetables. 5．What’s the passage mainly about? A．The effect of agriculture on the environment. B．The effect of the world’s population on agriculture. C．Food problems in the future and some solutions. D．The development of agriculture in the future. （23-24九年级上·福建泉州·期中） In Shanxi, there’s an old man always walking along a large lake called Yuncheng Salt Lake with his dog every day when the sun rises.

A study by the United Nations says 14% of the world’s coral reefs were lost between 2008 and 2018. Luckily, a project called Crochet Coral Reef Project was born to help protect coral reefs. The Crochet Coral Reef Project is a traveling art exhibition (展览) that shows the beauty of the ocean’s coral reefs. All of the coral reefs in the project are crocheted (钩针编织) by many artists. They try to use the way of crocheting to make people realize a great many beautiful coral reefs are disappearing. The project is started by Australian-born twin sisters Margaret Wertheim and Christine Wertheim. Margaret and Christine grew up in Queensland. In 2005, newspapers were filled with articles about human-caused destruction (破坏) of the Great Barrier Reef, the world’s largest coral reef system. When the sisters noticed that, they decided to take action. That year, they started the Crochet Coral Reef Project, and they put out a notice on the Internet. They wanted to invite more people to join them. At first, they thought maybe not so many people would join them. To their surprise, over 20, 000 people were interested in the project, hoping to lend their talents, in other words, their crochet abilities, to help this wonderful art project. Now, the Crochet Coral Reef Project is getting even more attention than before. Margaret and Christine said, “Our project goes from strength to strength.

Agriculture (农业), which produces your food, trucks, trains and airplanes in total. Chemicals used on farms run into rivers and lakes and pollute them. When rain forests and grass land are cleared for farm animals and crops (灭绝) of wildlife. Farming methods produce harmful gases into the air. These gases are a big factor to global warming. By 2050, the world population will be larger. The problem of feeding people will be more serious. How can we increase the amount of food and maintain (守住) a healthy planet? Here are some solutions. ●It’s important to stop cutting down forests for agriculture. This is harmful to the environment. ●We don’t need to eat so much meat. Producing meat causes global warming. ●We need to stop wasting food. In rich countries, about 50 percent of food goes to the trash. In poor countries, a lot of food is lost between the farmer and the market because storage and transportation are not efficient (有效的). It won’t be easy to make these changes, but if we don’t try, the result will be terrible in the future. All of us have to think about the connection (联系) between the food on our plates and the effect on the planet. Our food choices will decide our future. 1．How does the writer start the text?

Maybe that person can repair it or improve it, but he still uses it as a fan.”及“Reusing uses less energy than recycling. It also causes less environmental damage,...”可知，把旧自行车送给邻居，是对环境最好的。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“So how is reusing different from recycling?”可知，作者以“扇子和衣服”为例来解释再利用和回收利用之间的区别。故选A。 3．词句猜测题。根据“It also causes less environmental damage, because recycling often means that materials must be broken down or melted (熔解) in factories.”可知，回收通常意味着材料必须在工厂中分解或熔化，所以会对环境造成破坏，而再利用对环境的破坏较小，所以划线部分的含义是“破坏”。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。根据“Nowadays, people are talking more about reusing as a better alternative (选择) to recycling.”及“Reusing uses less energy than recycling. It also causes less environmental damage, because recycling often means that materials must be broken down or melted (熔解) in factories.”并通读全文可知，文章通过比较再利用和回收利用的不同来表明在拯救地球方面，再利用比回收利用更有帮助。故选B。 5．词句猜测题。根据“But perhaps recycling less should actually be our new goals—because it means we are all reusing more!”可知，但也许减少回收利用实际上应该是我们的新目标——因为减少回收利用意味着我们都在重复使用更多，所以划线部分指代的是“recycling less”。故选C。 （23-24九年级上·福建龙岩·阶段练习）By the year 2050, it is estimated that the world’s population will reach nine billion. An interesting question: what happens when people in poorer countries raise their living standard and demand more meat in their diet? Imagine trying to feed nine billion people with enough meat. In short, it’s simply impossible. Australian journalist and science writer, Julian Cribb, explains the challenges the world feces in feeding nine billion people by the year 2050. Cribb says there is a big problem in the food system in the developed world, at least. As more and more people move toward city centers, the less and less, they know about where their food comes from. Most think food simply grows on supermarket shelves, and they don’t consider the environmental effects of food production. Food has many hidden cost huge volumes of water, energy use and land degradation (退化). Consumers add their own costs by simply throwing away a lot of food. The food waste in West is staggering. To solve this problem of public ignorance (无知) about food, Cribb suggests that food should be taught as a subject at primary school. This would help to create a future generation that could better deal with the world’s coming food challenges. This measure can help to raise a generation of .educated consumers, more productive farmers, and so on. Cribb offers other solutions and suggestions as well. One is to increase the funding for agriculture (农业) science. He suggested organic (有机的) farming should be understood on a scientific basis, changing people’s thinking to one of a new form of “environmental agriculture” to get the very best out of organic farming systems. He says we should stop wasting food and learn how to grow food more cheaply. We should use less water as water is one of the main inputs into food production. Cribb also suggests eating more fruit and vegetables. 1．In the second paragraph, one problem of the food system in developed countries is ________. A．increasing ignorance about the means of food production B．an increasing number of people moving to city centers C．the increasing number of food waste D．the increasing cost of food production 2．What does the underlined word “staggering” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese? A．令人困惑的 B．令人吃惊的 C．令人恐惧的 D．令人满意的 3．According to Julian Cribb, what is the aim of making food a subject at school? A．To strengthen public awareness (意识) of food. B．To help students understand how to grow food. C．To develop agricultural science. D．To encourage organic fanning. 4．Which of the following may the writer disagree with? A．The public should save food and save water. B．Organic agriculture costs a lot in terms of resources. C．More money should be used for agricultural science. D．People should eat more fruit and vegetables. 5．What’s the passage mainly about? A．The effect of agriculture on the environment. B．The effect of the world’s population on agriculture. C．Food problems in the future and some solutions. D．The development of agriculture in the future. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．A 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了学者克里比的预测，在未来几十年内粮食危机将严重挑战人类生存问题，并介绍了一些克里比所提出的建议和解决方法。 1．细节理解题。根据“As more and more people move towards city centers, the less and less, they know about where their food comes from. Most think food simply grow on supermarket shelves, and they don’t consider the environmental effects of food production.”可知，随着越来越多的人搬到城市中心，他们对食物的来源越来越不了解。大多数人认为食物只是在超市的货架上生长，他们没有考虑到食品生产对环境的影响。由此可知发达国家食品系统的一个问题是对食品生产方式的无知日益增加，故选A。 2．词句猜测题。根据“Consumers add their own costs by simply throwing away a lot of food”可知，此处是在讲西方，食物浪费的数字是惊人的，划线单词staggering的意思是“令人惊讶的”，故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“To solve this problem of public ignorance (无知) about food. Cribb suggests that food should be taught as a subject at primary school. This would help to create a future generation that could better deal with the world’s coming food challenges.”可知，Cribb让食物成为学校的一门课程的目的是为了教育学生有关食物问题。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“One is to increase the funding for agriculture (农业) science. He suggested organic (有机的) farming should be understood on a scientific basis, changing people’s thinking to one of a new form of ‘environmental agriculture’ to get the very best out of organic farming systems. He says we should stop wasting food and learn how to grow food more cheaply. We should use less water as water is one of the main inputs into food production. Cribb also suggests eating more fruit and vegetables.”可知，作者建议：公众应该节约食物和水；应该把更多的钱用于农业科学；人们应该少吃肉类，多吃水果和蔬菜。文中没有提到选项B，故选B。 5．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，主要介绍了学者克里比的预测，在未来几十年内粮食危机将严重挑战人类生存问题，并介绍了一些克里比所提出的建议和解决方法。故选C。 （23-24九年级上·福建泉州·期中） In Shanxi, there’s an old man always walking along a large lake called Yuncheng Salt Lake with his dog every day when the sun rises. The old man is Ma Hongyi, and he lives in a village just about 200 meters from the lake.

A study by the United Nations says 14% of the world’s coral reefs were lost between 2008 and 2018. Luckily, a project called Crochet Coral Reef Project was born to help protect coral reefs. The Crochet Coral Reef Project is a traveling art exhibition (展览) that shows the beauty of the ocean’s coral reefs. All of the coral reefs in the project are crocheted (钩针编织) by many artists. They try to use the way of crocheting to make people realize a great many beautiful coral reefs are disappearing. The project is started by Australian-born twin sisters Margaret Wertheim and Christine Wertheim. Margaret and Christine grew up in Queensland. In 2005, newspapers were filled with articles about human-caused destruction (破坏) of the Great Barrier Reef, the world’s largest coral reef system. When the sisters noticed that, they decided to take action. That year, they started the Crochet Coral Reef Project, and they put out a notice on the Internet. They wanted to invite more people to join them. At first, they thought maybe not so many people would join them. To their surprise, over 20, 000 people were interested in the project, hoping to lend their talents, in other words, their crochet abilities, to help this wonderful art project. Now, the Crochet Coral Reef Project is getting even more attention than before. Margaret and Christine said, “Our project goes from strength to strength. We hope it will encourage more people to take action against global warming so that our crochet reefs aren’t the only coral reefs humans get to see.” 1．What is the purpose of the Crochet Coral Reef Project?
