[名篇品读]
These wise and sober thoughts continued all the while the storm lasted,and indeed some time after;but the next day the wind was abated,and the sea calmer,and I began to be a little inured to it;however,I was very grave for all that day,being also a little sea-sick still;but towards night the weather cleared up,the wind was quite over,and a charming fine evening followed;the sun went down perfectly clear,and rose so the next morning;and having little or no wind,and a smooth sea,the sun shining upon it,the sight was,as I thought,the most delightful that ever I saw.
—Robinson Crusoe
这些明智而清醒的思想,在暴风雨肆虐期间,乃至停止后的短时间内,一直在我脑子里盘旋。到了第二天,暴风雨过去了,海面平静多了,我对海上生活开始有点习惯了。但我整天仍是愁眉苦脸的;再加上有些晕船,更是打不起精神来。到了傍晚,天气完全晴了,风也完全停了,继之而来的是一个美丽可爱的金色黄昏。当晚和第二天清晨天气晴朗,落日和日出显得异常清丽。此时,阳光照在风平浪静的海面上,令人心旷神怡。那是我以前从未见过的美景。
——《鲁滨孙漂流记》
课时作业 巩固提升
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2023·江苏徐州期中) More than a decade ago,the UK's Royal Society offered £1 million to the first person in the world to create a chemical-free product.No one has yet claimed the money because it is impossible.Water is a chemical.So is your tea.Yet there is still so much confusion about everyday products,from cleaning sprays to cosmetics (化妆品).While some are labeled as chemical free,others declare they are non-poisonous,natural and eco-friendly.
To work out whether products contain harmful chemicals,which are harmful or dangerous to us or the planet,we need to look at the bigger picture of how something is produced and where it ends up after we have used it.Our homes are just a snapshot (照片) of a complex global supply chain.Your handbag may not be dangerous,but direct exposure to the chromium salts used in commercial leather factories can cause uncomfortable conditions in people involved in its production.And the chlorine bleach (漂白水) that gets washed down the toilet?That is poisonous to animals relying on water.
Labels are so full of jargon(行业术语);however,identifying what is good and what isn't can feel impossible.A starting point is to not be tricked by marketing words.Even the term “sustainable” has no official definition,so for green credentials (环保资质) look for proof of claims in the form of certificates,such as Cradle to Cradle,which ensures the chemicals used are safe for people and the environment,and that they get reused in the production process.
Also be skeptical about labels focusing on what a product doesn't contain,such as “paraben-free” or “no harmful substances”.Real transparency (透明度) is about making clear the things that are used to make products,not taking our attention away from them.
Therefore,until long-term effects on people and the planet are investigated,we should choose brands that are fully transparent and call for clearer labeling from the rest.
【语篇解读】 没有人能保证所使用的商品不含有化学物质,虽然我们日常使用的从清洁剂到化妆品都标注其不含化学物质,我们也要对此持怀疑态度。本文主要说明了作者对于产品标签的看法及如何鉴别产品。

写作意图题。文章第一段讲到十多年前,英国皇家学会承诺给世界上第一个发明无化学物质产品的人奖励100万英镑,但目前还没有人收到这笔奖赏,因为这不可能。接着提出本文主题:产品的标签往往反映着其是否含有化学物质。据此可知,文章提到英国皇家学会是为了引出文章主题。

2.What message does the author convey by mentioning “handbag” in paragraph 2?
A.The production process may be harmful to producers.

D.Health conditions of consumers are supposed to be attached importance to.
答案:A

推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Your handbag may ...in its production.”可知,你的手提包可能不危险,但直接接触商业皮革工厂使用的铬盐会使参与生产的人感到不适。据此可以推知,作者提到“手提包”是想要说明生产过程可能对生产者有害。

(2023·福建福州调研) Should we be thrilled that,for the first time in a century,Australia went more than a week without using any coal to make electricity?While some are welcoming this as a sign that the country is going green,the bigger picture is less encouraging.For one thing,renewables supplied only 23 per cent of electricity during this coal-free period,while 45 per cent came from natural gas.In the past
decade,the country has gone from getting a third of its electricity from coal to obtaining more than a third from renewables like onshore wind on average.Australia now gets 11 per cent of its electricity from“renewable”biomass(生物质能燃料),much of it using imported wood.But forest campaigners say swapping coal for wood isn't truly renewable and is actually doing huge damage to the environment.
For another,Australia is off-track when it comes to meeting its long-term targets for cutting greenhouse gas emissions(排放).Producing electricity without burning fossil fuels is relatively easy.But it is much harder to heat homes,to make cement and steel,to grow food and to power cars,ships and planes without producing any greenhouse gases.In view of this,we should handle the energy and climate crises at the same time by finding climate-friendly alternatives to coal.
Australia has now stopped the financial aid that drove its renewables revolution.So growth in renewable energy is expected to come to a stop in a decade.The global renewables revolution seems to be following the same trend.The International Energy Agency(IEA) recently announced that the world added 180 gigawatts (吉瓦) of solar,wind,hydropower and bioenergy in 2018,the same as in 2017.But IEA said we must add 300 gigawatts a year to have a chance of limiting global warming to under 2 ℃ by 2100.So we should cheer the end of coal,but continue to worry about how it will be replaced.
【语篇解读】 我们应该为澳大利亚“无碳周”感到兴奋吗?虽然一些人将其视为该国的环保举措,但从宏观角度上看它却并不那么鼓舞人心。
