Saini Yang at Beijing Normal University in China and her colleagues analyzed global climatological data from 1979 to 2019 to identify relations in temperature and precipitation between the Amazon rainforest and other areas. Such links are called “teleconnection1s”. They focused on the Amazon rainforest in particular because of its significance as a major carbon sink and as a climatic “tipping point” (爆发点) that could see forest turn to savannah (稀树草原) beyond a certain threshold (阈，界) of warming and human-driven deforestation. The researchers found that since 1979, warm temperatures in the Amazon rainforest were related to warm temperatures over the Tibetan plateau and the West Antarctic ice sheet; more precipitation in the Amazon rainforest was associated with less precipitation in those regions. By analyzing changing temperatures in the regions between the Amazon rainforest and those distant areas, they were also able to trace the path through which energy or materials such as black carbon released in forest fires might spread through the atmosphere. Their analysis showed the route remained consistent under different future warming scenarios. The collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet is a known tipping point. Melting snow on the Tibetan plateau is not, but the region is warming more rapidly than much of the rest of the globe, and changes to snow and ice there could have consequences for ecosystems and the billions of people that rely on its snowmelt for water, says Yang. Victor Brovkin at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Germany says the teleconnections are an interesting find, but is skeptical that variability in the Amazon rainforest causes the changes elsewhere. He says the Amazon rainforest is too small an area to overcome the influence of the tropical oceans and the researchers don’t present a physical mechanism to explain any influence. If the Amazon rainforest does have an influence on these regions, however, it could mean there is à higher risk that the Amazon rainforest tipping point might set others off, says Jonathan Donges-at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany. “It adds an additional potential domino (多米诺骨牌) that can fall. ” 32. Why was the Amazon rainforest the focus for Saini Yang’s research? A. Because it played a role as a main carbon sink. B. Because it was the most important carbon sink. C. Because it was very likely to turn to savannah. D. Because it was at a high risk of becoming a climatic “tipping point”. 33. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The benefits of the research. B. The findings of the research. C. The means of analyzing the data. D. The results of the Amazon rainforest being deforested. 34. Which of the following points may Saini Yang agree with? A. The temperature of the Tibetan plateau changes the fastest. B. The variability in the Amazon rainforest may not lead to changes elsewhere. C. The more the Amazon rainforest rains, the less rainfall the Tibetan plateau may have. D. The consequences of the collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet are little-known. 35. What can we learn about the Amazon rainforest from the last two paragraphs? A. Teleconnections have kept the researchers interested for a long time. B. The Amazon rainforest tipping point is likely to set off those of other areas. C. The findings of the research on the Amazon rainforest are controversial. D. The Amazon rainforest is large enough to remove the influence of the tropical oceans. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了中国北京师范大学杨赛霓教授及其同事进行的一项研究，该研究通过对1979年到2019年间的全球气象数据进行分析，目的在于确认亚马孙雨林地区和其他地区是否在气温和降雨方面存在相互影响的关系，但也有其他研究人员提出不同的观点。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They focused on the Amazon rainforest in particular because of its significance as a major carbon sink and as a climatic “tipping point” (爆发点) that could see forest turn to savannah (稀树草原) beyond a certain threshold (阈，界) of warming and human-driven deforestation. (他们特别关注亚马逊雨林，因为它是一个重要的碳汇，也是一个气候“爆发点”，超过一定的变暖和人为砍伐森林的阈值，森林就会变成大草原。)”可知，因为亚马逊雨扮演了主要碳汇的角色，所以杨赛霓教授的研究的焦点是亚马逊雨林，故选A。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The researchers found that since 1979, warm temperatures in the Amazon rainforest were related to warm temperatures over the Tibetan plateau and the West Antarctic ice sheet; more precipitation in the Amazon rainforest was associated with less precipitation in those regions. By analyzing changing temperatures in the regions between the Amazon rainforest and those distant areas, they were also able to trace the path through which energy or materials such as black carbon released in forest fires might spread through the atmosphere. Their analysis showed the route remained consistent under different future warming scenarios.(研究人员发现，自1979年以来，亚马逊雨林的温暖温度与青藏高原和南极西部冰盖的温暖温度有关；亚马逊雨林降水越多，这些地区降水越少。通过分析亚马逊雨林和这些遥远地区之间的温度变化，他们还能够追踪森林火灾释放的能量或物质(如黑碳)可能通过大气传播的路径。他们的分析表明，在不同的未来变暖情景下，这一路线保持一致。)”可知，第三段主要谈论了研究结果。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The researchers found that since 1979, warm temperatures in the Amazon rainforest were related to warm temperatures over the Tibetan plateau and the West Antarctic ice sheet; more precipitation in the Amazon rainforest was associated with less precipitation in those regions. (研究人员发现，自1979年以来，亚马逊雨林的温暖温度与青藏高原和南极西部冰盖的温暖温度有关；亚马逊雨林降水越多，这些地区降水越少。)” 可知，Saini Yang会同意亚马逊雨林降雨越多，青藏高原的降雨量就越少的观点，故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Victor Brovkin at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Germany says the teleconnections are an interesting find, but is skeptical that variability in the Amazon rainforest causes the changes elsewhere. (德国马克斯·普朗克气象研究所的维克多·布罗夫金说，这种远程关联是一个有趣的发现，但他怀疑亚马逊雨林的变化会导致其他地方的变化。)”和根据最后一段“If the Amazon rainforest does have an influence on these regions, however, it could mean there is à higher risk that the Amazon rainforest tipping point might set others off, says Jonathan Donges-at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany. “It adds an additional potential domino (多米诺骨牌) that can fall. ” (然而，德国波茨坦气候影响研究所的乔纳森·东斯说，如果亚马逊雨林确实对这些地区有影响，这可能意味着亚马逊雨林的临界点可能引发其他地区爆发的风险更高。“这又增加了一张可能倒下的多米诺骨牌。”)”可知，亚马孙雨林发生质的颠覆性变化有一个前提条件，那就是它确实对这些地区有影响，而对于这一点，科学家仍然有争议。故选C。 五、（浙江省温州市平阳县万全综合高级中学2023-2024学年高二下学期期末）语法填空 If you get injured in a sport, what should you do?

During a basketball game at Zeeland East High School in Zeeland, Michigan, the crowd fell quiet, giving high school junior Jules Hoogland an opportunity to take a shot. Hoogland, who is blind, followed along as a woman tapped (轻敲) a yellow pole against the backboard and a teammate guided her to the perfect position. Thirteen seconds later, the 11th grader nailed a free throw and the silent audience erupted in roaring cheers and applause. Zeeland Public Schools shared the extraordinary moment, filmed by Brandy Navetta, the school district’s communications and marketing director on Twitter, along with the words, “You thought national basketball tournaments were infusive, but Zeeland Public Schools Unified Basketball took over the court this morning. And the crowd went wild!” Hoogland’s mom Karen said she was so proud of her achievement. She also praised the young students for their respect and sensitivity towards her daughter. Hoogland set a new record on what blind people can achieve and wanted this video to inspire all those who are facing challenges. “I’m hoping this video will inspire others to keep trying no matter what their challenges are,” she said. Students from both Zeeland East and Zeeland West High School witnessed Hoogland’s uplifting shot, part of an inclusive basketball game with zLinks. Nathan VandeGuchte, a special education teacher with Zeeland West, added that inclusive sports has made a significant impact on students at Zeeland schools since the zLinks program started. “It was so moving to see Hoogland hit that shot again in front of 2,500 people,” said Nathan. “The lens (视角) with which many of our special education students are viewed has now been forever changed. They know that they are important, and they recognize that they are contributing members of our student body!” 24. Why did the crowd go wild as Hoogland nailed a free throw? A. Because she couldn’t see. B. Because she was competitive. C. Because it was her first shot. D. Because it was the end of the game. 25.

Thirteen seconds later, the 11th grader nailed a free throw and the silent audience erupted in roaring cheers and applause.(胡格兰是盲人，她跟着一名女子轻敲篮板上的一根黄色杆子，一名队友引导她到达完美的位置。十三秒后，这位十一年级学生罚球命中，沉默的观众爆发出欢呼声和掌声。)”可知，Hoogland是一个盲人，在她进了一次罚球后，观众欢呼起来，故选A。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“Zeeland Public Schools shared the extraordinary moment, filmed by Brandy Navetta, the school district’s communications and marketing director on Twitter, along with the words(泽兰公立学校在 Twitter 上分享了由该学区传播和营销总监Brandy Navetta拍摄的这一非凡时刻，并附上以下文字：)”可知，Hoogland进球的这一非凡时刻被拍摄下来，由此可推知，这场全国篮球锦标赛令人兴奋，划线单词意为“令人兴奋的”，故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Hoogland set a new record on what blind people can achieve and wanted this video to inspire all those who are facing challenges. “I’m hoping this video will inspire others to keep trying no matter what their challenges are,” she said.(霍格兰创造了盲人所能取得的成就的新纪录，并希望这段视频能够激励所有面临挑战的人。“我希望这段视频能够激励其他人继续尝试，无论他们面临什么挑战，”她说。)”可推知，Hoogland通过她的故事向我们传递这样一个道理：永远不要害怕应对挑战，故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Nathan所说的“The lens (视角) with which many of our special education students are viewed has now been forever changed. They know that they are important, and they recognize that they are contributing members of our student body!(我们许多特殊教育学生观看的视角现在已经永远改变了。他们知道自己很重要，并且认识到自己是对我们学生团体做出贡献的成员！)”可推知，特殊教育的学生从zLinks这一项目中获得了自信，故选B。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 4 Reading and Thinking分层练习 语言知识 一、（2024·高一课时练习）根据句意和汉语提示写出单词。 1.I don’t think it will work but I’ll try _______（无论如何）. 2.He _______(对比) the two different economic systems in his speech. 3.Judging from your _______（口音），you come from the West，if I’m not mistaken. 4.We could just see the outline of the house in the distance through the ________（薄雾）. 5.The early settlers _______(归因于) their survival to hard work and determination to succeed. 6.She felt there was something wrong，but couldn’t give ________(清楚易懂的) reasons. 7.If you want to sell your house，why not put an ________（广告） in the newspaper? 8.Being too anxious to help an event develop often results in the _________(相反的事情) to our intention. 二、（2024·高一课时练习）根据句意，用所给单词的适当形式填空。 1.One interesting aspect of this bilingual series is that it caters to both the domestic and foreign markets, especially in both reading for ________ (pleasant) and language learning. 2.As is known to us, ________ (curtain) are large pieces of material which hang from the top of a window. 3.Leave a basin of water outside in ________ (freeze) weather. 4.A storm of laughter ________ (arise) and even the tiniest child joined in. 5.The animal was still ________ (breathe), so we knew it was still alive. 6.To my ________ (astonish), he has made such rapid progress in English this term. 7.For those with family members far away, the personal computer and the phone are important in staying ________ (connect). 8.While waiting for the opportunity to get ________ (promote), Henry did his best to perform his duty. 9.________ (absorb) in painting, John didn't notice evening approaching. 10.Clearly and thoughtfully ________ (write), the book inspires confidence in students who wish to seek their own answers. 三、（2024·高一课时练习）根据要求转换下列句子。 1.Film has a much shorter history, especially when it is compared to such art forms as music and painting.(升级为省略句) Film has a much shorter history, especially ___________. 2.As he was raised in the poorest area of Glasgow, he had a long, hard road to becoming a football star.(升级为过去分词作状语) ____________________ of Glasgow, he had a long, hard road to becoming a football star. 3.When he was asked why he went there, he said he was sent there to be trained for a space flight.(升级为省略句) ____________________，he said he was sent there to be trained for a space flight. 4.As he was attracted by the latest electronic toys, the little boy stood in front of the windows, without moving.(升级为过去分词作状语) ____________________ ，the little boy stood in front of the windows, without moving. 5.If they were give the right kind of training, these teenage soccer players may one day grew the international stars.(升级为过去分词作状语) ____________________，these teenage soccer players may one day grew the international stars. 6.When it is seen from the top of the hill, the park looks very beautiful.(过去分词作状语) →________________ the top of the hill, the park looks very beautiful. 7.If we were given more time, we could do it much better.(过去分词作状语) →_______________， we could do it much better. 8.Because he was greatly touched by his teacher's words, he did a lot of things to help his classmates.(过去分词作状语) →_______________ his teacher's words, he did a lot of things to help his classmates. 9.Turned down many times, the man didn't lose heart.(让步状语从句) →______________ many times, the man didn't lose heart. 知识应用 四、（山东省青岛中学2023~2024学年下学期高二年级期末）阅读理解 Rapid deforestation (毁林) of the Amazon rainforest could influence the temperature and precipitation (降水，降水量) over the Tibetan plateau 15, 000 kilometers away. Saini Yang at Beijing Normal University in China and her colleagues analyzed global climatological data from 1979 to 2019 to identify relations in temperature and precipitation between the Amazon rainforest and other areas. Such links are called “teleconnection1s”. They focused on the Amazon rainforest in particular because of its significance as a major carbon sink and as a climatic “tipping point” (爆发点) that could see forest turn to savannah (稀树草原) beyond a certain threshold (阈，界) of warming and human-driven deforestation. The researchers found that since 1979, warm temperatures in the Amazon rainforest were related to warm temperatures over the Tibetan plateau and the West Antarctic ice sheet; more precipitation in the Amazon rainforest was associated with less precipitation in those regions. By analyzing changing temperatures in the regions between the Amazon rainforest and those distant areas, they were also able to trace the path through which energy or materials such as black carbon released in forest fires might spread through the atmosphere. Their analysis showed the route remained consistent under different future warming scenarios. The collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet is a known tipping point. Melting snow on the Tibetan plateau is not, but the region is warming more rapidly than much of the rest of the globe, and changes to snow and ice there could have consequences for ecosystems and the billions of people that rely on its snowmelt for water, says Yang. Victor Brovkin at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Germany says the teleconnections are an interesting find, but is skeptical that variability in the Amazon rainforest causes the changes elsewhere. He says the Amazon rainforest is too small an area to overcome the influence of the tropical oceans and the researchers don’t present a physical mechanism to explain any influence. If the Amazon rainforest does have an influence on these regions, however, it could mean there is à higher risk that the Amazon rainforest tipping point might set others off, says Jonathan Donges-at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany. “It adds an additional potential domino (多米诺骨牌) that can fall. ” 32. Why was the Amazon rainforest the focus for Saini Yang’s research? A. Because it played a role as a main carbon sink. B. Because it was the most important carbon sink. C. Because it was very likely to turn to savannah. D. Because it was at a high risk of becoming a climatic “tipping point”. 33. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The benefits of the research. B. The findings of the research. C. The means of analyzing the data. D. The results of the Amazon rainforest being deforested. 34. Which of the following points may Saini Yang agree with? A. The temperature of the Tibetan plateau changes the fastest. B. The variability in the Amazon rainforest may not lead to changes elsewhere. C. The more the Amazon rainforest rains, the less rainfall the Tibetan plateau may have. D. The consequences of the collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet are little-known. 35. What can we learn about the Amazon rainforest from the last two paragraphs? A. Teleconnections have kept the researchers interested for a long time. B. The Amazon rainforest tipping point is likely to set off those of other areas. C. The findings of the research on the Amazon rainforest are controversial. D. The Amazon rainforest is large enough to remove the influence of the tropical oceans. 五、（浙江省温州市平阳县万全综合高级中学2023-2024学年高二下学期期末）语法填空 If you get injured in a sport, what should you do?

During a basketball game at Zeeland East High School in Zeeland, Michigan, the crowd fell quiet, giving high school junior Jules Hoogland an opportunity to take a shot. Hoogland, who is blind, followed along as a woman tapped (轻敲) a yellow pole against the backboard and a teammate guided her to the perfect position. Thirteen seconds later, the 11th grader nailed a free throw and the silent audience erupted in roaring cheers and applause. Zeeland Public Schools shared the extraordinary moment, filmed by Brandy Navetta, the school district’s communications and marketing director on Twitter, along with the words, “You thought national basketball tournaments were infusive, but Zeeland Public Schools Unified Basketball took over the court this morning. And the crowd went wild!” Hoogland’s mom Karen said she was so proud of her achievement. She also praised the young students for their respect and sensitivity towards her daughter. Hoogland set a new record on what blind people can achieve and wanted this video to inspire all those who are facing challenges. “I’m hoping this video will inspire others to keep trying no matter what their challenges are,” she said. Students from both Zeeland East and Zeeland West High School witnessed Hoogland’s uplifting shot, part of an inclusive basketball game with zLinks. Nathan VandeGuchte, a special education teacher with Zeeland West, added that inclusive sports has made a significant impact on students at Zeeland schools since the zLinks program started. “It was so moving to see Hoogland hit that shot again in front of 2,500 people,” said Nathan. “The lens (视角) with which many of our special education students are viewed has now been forever changed. They know that they are important, and they recognize that they are contributing members of our student body!” 24. Why did the crowd go wild as Hoogland nailed a free throw? A.
