4.卡森的信息非
常令人担忧,引起了环
境意识的极大提高
它的影响是直接和深
远的:滴滴涕的使用被
禁止,环境保护署
(EPA)在美国成立
因此,《寂静的春天》被
认为是西方世界发起
绿色运动的一个里程
碑。这也为卡森赢得
了一枚追授的总统自
由勋章,并将她的头像
印在了17美分的美国
邮票上。
5.然而,并不是每
个人都对《寂静的春
天》持积极态度。
尽管
卡森的研究很有力,而
且得到了大多数评论
她工作的科学家的支
持,但这本书很快成为
农药行业批评的目标
他们说卡森不理解她
的论点背后的科学,因
为她是海洋生物学家
而不是化学家
人还说,她的工作更多
的是情感而不是科学
这些都是损害卡森的
声誉,阻止她的工作影
响公共政策的企图,但
她仍然决心坚持自己
的研究。卡森在公众
场合和电视上为自已
的主张辩护一今天,
在《寂静的春天》出版
50多年后,《寂静的春
天》的声音仍然响亮而
清晰。
6.就我个人而言,
我很喜欢卡森的书。
她让一个至关重要但
可能难以理解的主题
变得有趣,并为数百万
人所理解。这并不是
因为她的论点的质量
尽管它们是强有力的,
而是因为她的写作的
美丽和优雅。她的书
不仅改变了世界,在半
个世纪后的今天,它仍
然是一本值得重读的
书,这样我们就可以再
次感受到它充满激情
的信息之火的温暖
因为除非我们真的听
从雷切尔·卡森的警
告,否则总有一天我们
会意识到,面对另一个
寂静的春天所带来的
奇怪而平静的恐惧。

I.阅读理解
The Amazon basin region is home to about 2.5
million insect species,tens of thousands of plants,
and some 2,000 birds and mammals.To date,at least
40,000 plant species,3,000 fish,1,294 birds,427
mammals,428 amphibians,and 378 reptiles have
been scientifically classified in the region.One in five
of all the birds in the world live in the Amazon rain-
forest.
The warm and wet forest has been in existence
for at least 55 million years,and thrived even during
glacial periods,allowing for the evolution of an un-
believable diversity of species.Radiocarbon dating
(放射性碳定年法)has revealed trees of 10 centime-
ters in diameter to be more than 300 years old,and
some trees over 1,000 years old,indicating that un-
touched forests can experience unbelievable longevi-
ty.
Unit 6 Nature in words
The first human inhabitants are thought to have
settled in the Amazon region about 11,200 years
ago.European explorers arrived in the 16th century,
bringing diseases which traveled faster than the ex-
plorers themselves,killing perhaps as many as 90%
of the indigenous inhabitants(土著居民).By the
late 17th century the Amazon basin was controlled
by Portuguese and Spanish explorers.
The Amazon rainforests has been described as
the lungs of our planet because of its important role
in recycling carbon dioxide into oxygen.But due to
deforestation(滥伐森林),rainforests now cover less
than 5%of the Earth's land surface,and experts be-
lieve that this is a big contributor to global climate
change.Severe deforestation began in the 20th cen-
tury,with 587,000 square kilometers lost up to the
year 2000.Most deforested land is used for grassland
to raise farm animals and agriculture.The addition of
transport routes has led to increased settlement and
deforestation,and at the present rate,scientists esti-
mate that the Amazon rainforest will be reduced by
40%in two decades.

[语篇解读]世界上的许多污染问题是由大量
人口涌入城市造成的。人口的迅速增长和对地球资
源的不合理利用也使得自然资源濒临枯竭,人类未来
的生存状况取决于人们是否能够控制人口增长速度。
l.B[根据上文中的“Many of the world's pollution
problems have been caused by.,.”可知,人口大量
涌入城市导致了污染问题。所以供应人们的需求
导致了进一步的污染。lead to意为“导致”,符合语
境。run across意为“不期而遇;撞见”;result from
意为“产生于…;由…引起”;bring out意为
“使显现;生产;引起”。]
2.B[结合第二段最后一句“If the population con-
tinues to grow at...”可知,如果人口继续增加,污
染也会随之变得更严重。根据语境选B项。]
3.A[at..rate为固定搭配,意为“以…速度”。
rate意为“速度”时应与介词at连用。]
4.C[句意为:有些科学家把人口增长称作“人口污
染”。speak of..as意为“把…称作”,]

5.A[从上句的数字可以看出,世界人口一直在增
长,所以本句表示人口数到1850年应是“达到”十
亿左右。reach意为“达到”,是及物动词,可以直接
加宾语。get作“达到”讲时是不及物动词,不能直
接跟宾语。故选A项。]
6.B[根据下文中的by the year2050可知,此处讲
述未来的人口状况。expect意为“预期;预料”,itis
expected...意为“预计…”。故选B项。]
7.C[根据上文内容可知,文章讲述的是世界人口问
题,故选C项。
8.A[从下文内容“Some of them are almost gone.”
可以推断,此处指人们对资源的使用,故选A项。]
9.C[根据前后句内容可知,资源的枯竭是由于人们
对资源的加速开采使用造成的,故选C项。
10.C「上文提到人口的急剧增长带来了很多问题,
由此判断如果想要解决资源问题,就要控制人口的
增长,故选C项。]
1l.D[结合第一段第二句“To supply the needs of
the people..·.”可知,要满足人类的“需求”,此处与
前文相呼应。need此处为名词,意为“需求”。故
选D项。]
12.A[present意为“目前的;现在的”,符合语境。]
13.B[根据上文内容可知,世界资源匮乏,所以不能
供给更多人去利用,人类就会遭遇饥饿问题。故选
B项。]
14.B[根据下文“Many people believe that human
survival in the future
on the answer to
this question.”可知,此处讨论的是人口的增长是
否会以现在的速度“持续”下去。故选B项。]
l5.A[depend on意为“依赖”。根据前文可知,人
口持续增长会导致环境污染问题,而环境污染会直
接影响人类的未来,也就是说,人类未来的生存状
况取决于人口增长速度的解决情况,故选A项。]
