必修3　UNIT 2　课时作业(一)　主题阅读集群训练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2025·保定模拟)Since Cynthia Florio was a lifeguard at Tobay Beach in the 1990s, she has watched the ocean approach the shore and draw closer to the dunes (沙丘)．It's what forced Florio, 53, of Massapequa, to take part in the Town of Oyster Bay's annual dune grass planting event on March 30 — an effort to help stabilize the beach dunes against shoreline erosion (侵蚀)． Along with other volunteers, Florio had spent hours with her daughter, Kyra Florio­Marinello, 15, and her daughter's friend Tatum Brennan, 15, planting the native plants that were intended to absorb water and prepare the sand against heavy wind.But four days later, a storm on Wednesday hit Long Island and washed the new plants away.“The latest dune planting event drew more than 150 volunteers who planted a lot across 2.7 acres of Atlantic Ocean sand dunes，” said Marta Kane, an Oyster Bay spokeswoman.“The dune grass cost the town D|S32,000.” The event, centered on volunteerism, drew some families whose elders were looking to share a message with a younger generation about the importance of protecting the environment.While the outcome resulted in a wave of disappointment, for some volunteers that was coupled with a sense of renewed motivation.Maria Rizzi, 70, of Massapequa, participated in the planting session with her grandson, Andrew Lepsis, 10.She said she would go back for another event with even more family members.“I'd be willing to do it again，” she said.“I'd even talk the older grand kids into coming.” While the storm swept the new plants away, Florio said Tobay Beach's appearance aftermath serves as a powerful reminder of the need for more volunteer work on that stretch of sand.“Maybe it will inspire more people to volunteer and understand the need for us to protect our beaches，” Florio said. 1．What is the aim of the dune grass planting event? A．To protect the ocean from being polluted. B．To keep the shoreline in good shape. C．To reduce extreme weather conditions. D．To prevent people playing on the beach. 2．Which of the following can best describe the dune grass planting event? A．Popular but costly. B．Traditional but complex. C．Creative and economical. D．Successful and rewarding. 3．How did Maria Rizzi feel about grass planting? A．Incapable.　　　　　　B．Disappointed. C．Hopeless. D．Motivated. 4．What can be the best title for the text? A．Great Grass Planting B．The Best of the Storm C．Spirit Never Washed Away D．Volunteers Making History Together B (2025·江西重点中学联考) Inside a large room at the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), tens of thousands of seeds are stored at a constant temperature of －20 ℃.Some of them may hold keys to helping us face the future. “Our center holds as many as 120,000 varieties of seeds.Many of them come from crops as old as agriculture itself.Other seeds were selected by researchers who've hiked in the past four decades through forests and mountains in the Middle East, Asia and North Africa, searching for wild relatives of wheat, rice, legumes (豆科植物) and other crops that are important to the human diet，” says Mariana Yazbek, who manages the research center. The research center, formed in the 1970s, once mostly helped farmers in poorer countries in hot and dry climates.But now it also sends seeds to scientists in Europe, Canada and the United States, to improve certain crops' resistance to the effects of climate change. “What we are collecting is a sample of the diversity that we have in nature，” adds Yazbek.“We save seeds in case extreme droughts, floods or other catastrophic events should wipe out plant species.These wild relatives of crops have witnessed so many different climates.The qualities that help them adapt and survive in these conditions are stored in their DNA.We have this diversity and it can be a tool to help us face the future.” Yazbek says scientists are particularly interested in crops like the legume because it absorbs a lot of greenhouse gas CO2 from the atmosphere.It also releases N into the soil, meaning the farmers have to use less chemical fertilizer.And the legume takes very little water to grow because it produces sugar alcohols that act as humectants, a substance that attracts and absorbs water and saves the plant from freezing or drying out. In another case, a wild wheat seed collected in Iran has allowed scientists in the US to develop new wheat varieties resistant to the Hessian fly, a harmful insect that causes tens of millions of dollars in damage to American crops every year. 5．What can be learned about ICARDA? A．It has a complete collection of seeds. B．It just helps the undeveloped countries. C．It used to develop seeds for rich countries. D．It focuses on saving ancient and wild seeds. 6．Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “catastrophic” in paragraph 4? A．Important. B．Wasteful. C．Terrible. D．Unforgettable. 7．What can be inferred about the legume? A．It will grow much better in wet areas. B．It is friendly to the environment and soil. C．It will become the main crop for humans. D．It has difficulty in adapting to cold climate. 8．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A．Seeds Stored at ICARDA May Help Us Improve Our Crops B．A New Invaluable Seed Bank Is Constructed at ICARDA C．Scientists Have Made Breakthroughs in Ancient Seed Study D．New Seeds Are Successfully Developed for North America Ⅱ.阅读七选五 精品课件·名师析题 (2025·河北高三大联考)We are all victims of climate change.Fighting with climate change can feel stressed, but there are a lot of things you can do to protect yourself and your loved ones.Experts recommend the following steps. ·__9__ Talk to your doctor about what types of alerts or weather events you should be looking out for when it comes to heat, stress interactions with medications, or exposures to heat, cold and virus. ·Prepare an emergency supply kit.This is especially important if you live in an area where flooding, hurricanes, or wildfires break out easily.Your family need to be safe.__10__ ·Eat less meat, and take more vitamins.Research found that the diets low in meat and high in fruits and vegetables were linked with less greenhouse gas emissions.__11__ Therefore, you should reduce people's vulnerability in high temperatures. ·Reduce the amount of single­use plastics in your life.The Natural Resources Defense Council says that small individual choices can add up.__12__ For example, you can carry grocery bags and a reusable water bottle and cook more at home. ·Pay attention to heat warnings, and find ways to stay cool.__13__ If you have air­conditioning, make sure it is working, or find out a place with air­conditioning, like a shopping mall, public library, or cooling shelter or community.Make sure you check on your friends during a heat wave, and ask that they check on you.
