Climate change could lead to a net expansion of global forests.But will a more forested world actually be cooler?
These are strange times for the Indigenous Nenets reindeer herders (牧人) of northern Siberia.In their lands on the shores of the Arctic Ocean,bare tundra (冻原) is melting,bushes are sprouting,and willows that a generation ago struggled to reach knee height now grow 3 meters tall,hiding the reindeer.Surveys show the Nenets autonomous district,an area the size of Florida,now has four times as many trees as official inventories recorded in the 1980s.
All around the Arctic Circle,trees are invading as the climate warms.In Norway,birch and pine are marching pole ward,outshining the tundra.In Alaska,spruce are taking over from moss and lichen.Globally,recent research indicates forests are expanding along two-thirds of Earth's 12,000-kilometer-long northern tree line—the point where forests give way to tundra—while becoming smaller along just 1%.Forest gains are not limited to the far north.At lower latitudes,some warmer,dry regions are also seeing a slight increase in trees,in part because increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2)—the main planet-warming gas—are enabling plants to use water more efficiently and thrive in drier soils.And the fertilizing effects of CO2 are enabling existing forests to add more leaves and wood,increasing their biomass.It's a surprisingly different picture from what is unfolding in the tropics,where hundreds of thousands of hectares of forest are lost each year to chainsaws (电锯) and fire,and climate change is stressing the remaining trees.
But the effects of those tropical losses could be reduced by gains elsewhere,some studies predict,leading in the coming decades to a world with more and faster growing trees.That might seem like surprisingly good news for curbing global warming.Forests often have a cooling effect,releasing organic compounds and water vapor that promote the formation of clouds.And more,faster growing trees would absorb more atmospheric carbon and lock it away in wood.But the calculus of forests' climate effects is far from straightforward,and emerging research suggests a more forested world won't necessarily be a cooler world.New forests could enhance warming in some areas,for example,by reducing the amount of sunlight that is reflected into space.Over time,that could offset any gains in carbon absorption.
“Forests are not just carbon sponges,” says environmental scientist Deborah Lawrence of the University of Virginia.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章指出气候变化可能导致全球森林扩张,北极圈及低纬度部分地区树木增多,但森林对气候影响复杂,更多森林不一定意味着更凉爽。
1.What may be the impact of climate change according to the passage?
A.An increase in tundra area.
B.A sharp decrease in bushes.
C.An expansion of global forests.
D.A decline in reindeer population.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中“Climate change could lead to a net expansion of global forests.”可知,气候变化的影响是全球森林面积的扩大。故选C项。
2.What is the main reason for the increase in forest growth in warmer and dry regions?
A.Intense sunlight.
B.The effects of carbon dioxide.
C.The melting of tundra.
D.Sufficient rainfall.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中“At lower latitudes,some warmer,dry regions...are enabling plants to use water more efficiently and thrive in drier soils.”可知,在更温暖的干燥地区,森林生长增加的主要原因是二氧化碳的影响。故选B项。
3.What does the underlined word “curbing” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Holding back. B.Setting off.
C.Taking out. D.Picking up.
答案:A
解析:词义猜测题。画线词的下文“Forests often have a cooling effect,releasing organic compounds and water vapor that promote the formation of clouds.And more,faster growing trees would absorb more atmospheric carbon and lock it away in wood.”介绍了森林的降温作用,以及对吸收大气中的碳的用处,由此可知,树木数量的增加对于“遏制”全球变暖似乎是个好消息,画线词的意思是“遏制,抑制”,与holding back“阻止,抑制”意思一致。故选A项。
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A.The Close Connection:Climate Change and Forest Expansion
B.The Unexpected Impacts:Climate Change on Forest Expansion
C.A More Forested World:The Solution to Global Warming
D.Global Warming:A Trend toward Warmer Conditions
答案:B
解析:标题归纳题。通读全文,尤其根据第一段中“Climate change could lead to a net expansion of global forests.”可知,文章主要讨论了气候变化对森林扩张的影响,并指出森林扩张并不一定会导致全球变冷,反而可能在某些地区加剧变暖。因此,B项“意想不到的影响:气候变化对森林扩张的影响”突出了气候变化的意外影响,最契合文章主旨,最适合作文章标题。故选B项。

语篇解读 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了一项关于中国森林中东北虎数量的研究,并涉及了相关的环境保护政策和气候变化对东北虎栖息地的影响。
1.答案:to protect
解析:考查非谓语动词。句子含有谓语动词have paid off,空格处填入非谓语动词作名词efforts的后置定语,用动词不定式形式。故填to protect。
2.答案:appearance

3.答案:was based
解析:考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。这里为从句的谓语动词,根据“in the past”可知,从句时态为一般过去时;主语为economy,单数,和动词base之间为被动关系,所以用被动语态。故填was based。
4.答案:With

8.答案:but
解析:考查连词。空前“Amur tigers may be well protected in northeastern China now”和空后“they will face a number of threats (link) to climate change”之间存在转折关系,故用连词but连接。故填but。
9.答案:linked
解析:考查非谓语动词。空处应用非谓语动词作后置定语,被修饰词threats和动词link之间为被动关系,用动词-ed形式。故填linked。
