Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
[2024·江苏省镇江市高三检测]People often recommend planting trees to make cities greener, cleaner and healthier. But during heat waves, city trees can actually increase air pollution. Indeed, a new study has found, up to 60 percent of the smoggy ozone in a city's air on hot days may trace to chemicals emitted by trees. Galina Churkina, who works at Humboldt University of Berlin, and her team have confirmed it.
The findings might seem the opposite of what you would expect, notes Robert Young, an expert in city planting at the University of Texas at Austin. Indeed, he says, “Everything has multiple effects.” The new findings do not mean cities should discourage tree planting. Instead, cities may need stricter controls on other sources of pollution, such as tailpipe emissions from cars and trucks.
City trees soak up carbon dioxide, and at the same time they release oxygen into the air. But oxygen is far from the only gas that trees and certain other green plants release into the air. One of these chemicals is a hydrocarbon known as isoprene (异戊二烯). It can react with combustion (燃烧) pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides (氮氧化物) emitted by cars and trucks in cities. The result is the formation of ozone, a component of smog, which can irritate the lungs and cause airway diseases.
Churkina says her team is not surprised to see the seemingly contrary relationship between plants and pollution. She adds that its importance is quite amazing. “The results,” Churkina says, “suggest that city tree planting programs should not ignore the role this greenery may play in aggravating summer air pollution.” “Adding more trees will improve quality of life only if those cities also undertake plans to sharply cut vehicle pollution in summer and to increase their reliance on clean energy sources for electric power.” she says.
1.What does the new study find about city trees on hot days?
A.City trees can reduce the smoggy ozone.
B.City trees may easily absorb heat waves.
C.City trees may cause more air pollution.
D.More city trees can make a city far better.
2.What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A.The harm ozone does to people in cities.
B.The way trees help the formation of ozone.
C.The chemicals green plants release into the air.
D.The benefits trees bring to the city environment.
3.What does the underlined word “aggravating” mean in the last paragraph?
A.Worsening. B.Decreasing.
C.Improving. D.Releasing.
4.Which of the following is suggested by Churkina?
A.Planting more trees in cities.
B.Advocating using clean energy.
C.Improving people's quality of life.
D.Banning vehicle pollution in summer.

[2024·山西省吕梁市高三上学期检测]Every morning in a city in Indonesia's far east, sleepy teenagers can be seen walk slowly and with heavy steps through the streets on their unwilling way to school.
It is not a scene from some scifi movie but a controversial experiment to get the day off to a much earlier start for the sleepdeprived (缺乏睡眠的) teens. The pilot project in Kupang has twelfthgraders at 10 high schools start classes at 5:30 am.
Authorities say the project is intended to heighten children's discipline. According to parents, though, their children are worn out by the time they get home. Schools in Indonesia generally start between 7:00 and 8:00 am. Teens in their school uniforms are now walking down dark streets or waiting for motorcycle taxis to get to school on time.
“It is extremely difficult and they now have to leave home while it's still completely dark. I can't accept this, for their safety is not guaranteed when it's dark and quiet.” Rambu Ata, a mother to a 16yearold, said, whose daughter Eureka now has to wake up at 4:00 am to get ready and ride a motorbike to school. “Now every time Eurek arrives home she is exhausted and falls asleep immediately.”
At least one scholar seems to agree.
“It has no connection with the effort to improve the quality of education,” Marsel Robot, an education expert from Nusa Cendana University. “In the long run, sleep deprivation could endanger the students' health and cause a shift in behaviour. They will only sleep for a few hours and this is a serious risk for their health. This also will cause them stress and they will release their stress by acting out.”
A 2014 study published by the American Academy of paediatrics (儿科学) recommended that middle and high schoolers start classes at 8:30 am or later to allow enough time for sleep. The Kupang rule change was also challenged by local politicians, who demanded the government cancel what they called a baseless policy.
5.What is the purpose of the pilot project?
A.To punish students' mistakes.
B.To let students learn more knowledge.
C.To deprive students of sleep.
D.To strengthen students' selfcontrol.
6.What does Ata think of the project?
A.Controversial. B.Unacceptable.
C.Uncontrollable. D.Critical.
7.What is Robot's concern?
A.Students' safety.
B.The stress of parents.
C.Students' health.
D.The quality of education.
8.What's the best title for the text?
A.An Unpopular Move for Teens to Start School at 5:30 am
B.Some Problems Existing Among Indonesia's Teenagers
C.An Unsuccessful Experiment Concerning Safety
D.The Popularity of a Pilot Project in Kupang

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现,该研究表明在热浪期间,城市树木实际上会增加空气污染。
1.答案与解析:C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“人们经常建议植树使城市更绿、更清洁、更健康。但在热浪期间,城市树木实际上会增加空气污染。事实上,一项新的研究发现,在炎热的日子里,城市空气中高达60%的烟雾臭氧可能来自树木排放的化学物质。柏林洪堡大学的Galina Churkina和她的团队已经证实了这一点。”可知,最新的研究表明城市树木实际上会增加空气污染。
2.答案与解析:B 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“城市树木吸收二氧化碳,同时向空气中释放氧气。但是氧气并不是树木和其他绿色植物释放到空气中的唯一气体。其中一种化学物质是一种被称为异戊二烯的碳氢化合物。它可以与燃烧污染物发生反应,例如城市中汽车和卡车排放的氮氧化物。其结果是形成臭氧,这是烟雾的一种成分,它会刺激肺部并导致呼吸道疾病。”可知,第三段主要介绍的是城市树木是怎样形成臭氧的。
3.答案与解析:A 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“up to 60 percent of the smoggy ozone in a city's air on hot days may trace to chemicals emitted by trees.”可知,城市树木会增加空气污染。画线单词指的是“加剧”了夏季空气污染。故选A.“Worsening (加剧、恶化)”。B.“Decreasing (减少)”;C.“Improving (提高)”;D.“Releasing (释放)”。
4.答案与解析:B 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Adding more trees will improve quality of life only if... sharply cut vehicle pollution in summer and to increase their reliance on clean energy sources for electric power”可知,Churkina建议大幅减少夏季车辆污染,并增加对清洁能源的依赖。故选B。
