高考真题练 阅读理解 A (2024浙江1月,C) 　　On September 7, 1991, the costliest hailstorm(雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary's southern suburbs. As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east-central Alberta—downwind of the hail project flights—worry that precious moisture(水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding. 　　Norman Stienwand, who farms in that area, has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years. “Basically, the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect the Calgary-Edmonton urban area from hail,” Mr. Stienwand says, “but they're increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.” 　　The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weather Modification Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be causing drought,” Dr. Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.” 　　One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes(龙卷风) form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas,” Dr. Doswell says. “Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind? No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.” 　　Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “it would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety. 1.What does the project aim to do? A.Conserve moisture in the soil.　　 B.Prevent the formation of hailstones. C.Forecast disastrous hailstorms.　　 D.Investigate chemical use in farming. 2.Who are opposed to the project? A.Farmers in east-central Alberta.　　 B.Managers of insurance companies. C.Provincial government officials.　　 D.Residents of Calgary and Edmonton. 3.Why does Dr. Doswell mention the tornadoes he saw in 1999? A.To compare different kinds of seeding methods. B.To illustrate the development of big hailstorms. C.To indicate a possible danger of cloud seeding. D.To show the link between storms and moisture. 4.What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.Scientific studies have proved Stienwand right. B.Private climate engineering is illegal in Canada. C.The doubt about cloud seeding has disappeared. D.Cloud-seeding companies will continue to exist. 高考词汇站 派生/合成词汇 1.basic adj.基本的;基础的→　　　　　 adv.大体上;基本上  2.province n.省;范围,领域→　　　　　 adj.省的;首都以外的  3.personal adj.亲自做的;个人的,私人的→　　　　　 adv.亲自,本人直接地;就个人而言  4.oppose v.反对,抵制;与……对垒→　　　　　 adj.相反的;对面的  5.concern v.与……有关;涉及,影响;担忧→　　　　　 prep.关于;涉及  6.hailstone n.　　　　　　　　　　7.downwind adv.　　　　　  熟词生义 8.threatening adj.　　　　　　　9.thirsty adj.　　　　　　　　　　10.address v.　　　　　  B (2023新课标Ⅱ,D) 　　As cities balloon with growth, access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find. If you're lucky, there might be a pocket park near where you live, but it's unusual to find places in a city that are relatively wild. 　　Past research has found health and wellness benefits of nature for humans, but a new study shows that wildness in urban areas is extremely important for human well-being. 　　The research team focused on a large urban park. They surveyed several hundred park-goers, asking them to submit a written summary online of a meaningful interaction they had with nature in the park. The researchers then examined these submissions, coding(编码) experiences into different categories. For example, one participant's experience of “We sat and listened to the waves at the beach for a while” was assigned the categories “sitting at beach” and “listening to waves.” 　　Across the 320 submissions, a pattern of categories the researchers call a “nature language” began to emerge. After the coding of all submissions, half a dozen categories were noted most often as important to visitors. These include encountering wildlife, walking along the edge of water, and following an established trail. 　　Naming each nature experience creates a usable language, which helps people recognize and take part in the activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them. For example, the experience of walking along the edge of water might be satisfying for a young professional on a weekend hike in the park. Back downtown during a workday, they can enjoy a more domestic form of this interaction by walking along a fountain on their lunch break. 　　“We're trying to generate a language that helps bring the human-nature interactions back into our daily lives. And for that to happen, we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it,” said Peter Kahn, a senior author of the study. 5.What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text? 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 A.Pocket parks are now popular.　　 B.Wild nature is hard to find in cities. C.Many cities are overpopulated.　　 D.People enjoy living close to nature. 6.Why did the researchers code participant submissions into categories? A.To compare different types of park-goers.　　 B.To explain why the park attracts tourists. C.To analyze the main features of the park.　　 D.To find patterns in the visitors' summaries. 7.What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 5? A.Walking is the best way to gain access to nature. B.Young people are too busy to interact with nature. C.The same nature experience takes different forms. D.The nature language enhances work performance. 8.What should be done before we can interact with nature according to Kahn? A.Language study.　　B.Environmental conservation. C.Public education.　　D.Intercultural communication. 高考词汇站 派生/合成词汇 1.usual adj.通常的→　　　　　 adj.不寻常的  2.relative adj.相对的→　　　　　 adv.相当地,相对地  3.wild adj.野生的→　　　　　 n.荒野  4.meaning n.意义→　　　　　 adj.有意义的  5.interact v.互动;相互作用→　　　　　 n.互动;相互作用  6.submit v.提交→　　　　　 n.提交的文件;提交,呈递  7.satisfy v.使满意,使满足→　　　　　 adj.令人满意的  8.well-being n.　　　　　　　　　　9.downtown adv.　　　　　  熟词生义 10.balloon v.　　　　　　　11.pocket adj.　　　　　  答案与分层梯度式解析 Unit 2　Natural disasters 高考真题练 A ◎语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了加拿大艾伯塔省实施的防雹项目,对于该项目人们态度不一。 【篇章结构图】　1.costliest　2.drought　3.increase 4.proceed 1.B　细节理解题。根据题干关键词the project可定位到第一段。根据“Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones.”可知,这项计划通过使飞机在阴沉沉的风暴单体中播撒一种化学物质,使云层中的小冰晶在变成冰雹之前像雨一样落下,从而化解雹暴灾害。所以,该计划旨在阻止冰雹形成。故选B。 2.A　细节理解题。第一段前三句介绍了雹暴现象的出现以及保险公司的防雹计划。第四句中的But表示转折关系。根据“farmers in east-central Alberta—downwind of the hail project flights—worry that precious moisture is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding”可知,艾伯塔省中东部的农民担心云的催化会从他们干旱的土地上偷走宝贵的水分,也就是说,艾伯塔省中东部的农民反对该计划。故选A。 3.C　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell”可知,Doswell博士对该计划安全与否持怀疑态度。再结合“I personally saw significant tornadoes form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas”以及“Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind? No one really knows, of course”可推知,Doswell博士通过提及自己在1999年看到的由这种云的催化而引起的强龙卷风灾害暗示了云的催化可能带来的危险。故选C。 4.D　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.”可知,由于缺乏科学证据证明云的催化存在害处,没有人赢得对播云公司的诉讼。因此,私人气候工程可以在相对合法的安全条件下继续进行。由此可推知,播云公司将继续存在。故选D。 【高考词汇站】　1.basically　2.provincial　3.personally 4.opposite　5.concerning　6.冰雹　7.顺风地;在下风处 8.阴沉沉的　9.干旱的　10.演说,演讲 B ◎语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了城市中的原生态环境对人们的健康非常重要。 5.B　细节理解题。根据第一段第一句可知,随着城市的急剧扩张,住在城市的人们接触大自然变得越来越难,即在城市里,人们很难找到野生的自然。故选B。 6.D　推理判断题。根据第四段第一句可知,在这320份提交的材料中,一种被研究人员称为“自然语言”的类别模式开始出现。根据第四段第二、三句可知,根据编码的结果,研究人员发现了哪些类别的自然体验对人们来说最重要。由此推知,研究者对参与者提交的材料进行编码分类是为了找到他们与自然交流的行为的模式。故选D。 7.C　推理判断题。根据第五段倒数第一、二句所举的例子可知,在水边散步的自然体验可能是周末在公园的徒步旅行,也可能是工作日的沿喷泉散步,即同一种自然体验,活动形式可能不同。故选C。 8.B　细节理解题。根据最后一段中Peter Kahn的话“And for that to happen, we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it(为了实现那一点,我们还需要保护自然,这样我们才能与它互动)”可知在与自然互动之前,我们需要保护它。故选B。 【高考词汇站】　1.unusual　2.relatively　3.wildness　4.meaningful　5.interaction　6.submission　7.satisfying 8.幸福,健康　9.在市中心　10.(突然)膨胀　11.小型的 9 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
