《英语 基础模块2》（高教版 第三版） Unit 8 Green Earth (Culture Understanding&Group Work)同步过关练习 一、阅读理解（5题） Everyone knows that forests help fight climate change. However, a recent scientific report shows that the world lost 300,000 square kilometers of forests in 2024. That’s an area about the size of Italy. According to the report, for the first time ever, fires were the biggest cause of forest loss. ▲ This country has the largest area of rainforest in the world. Last year, it suffered from a long period of dry weather. Wildfires broke out and spread. As a result, about 25,000 square kilometers of the primary rainforest disappeared in the country. This meant fires caused 66% of its forest loss. The second biggest cause of the world’s forest loss was clearing land for farming. As people need more farmland, they keep cutting down forests every year. In 2024, the area of forest cleared for farming increased by 14% worldwide. The situation was more severe in six developing countries. For example, Bolivia lost 2.5 times as much forest in 2024 as it did the year before. Without doubt, something must be done. Experts call on governments, businesses and people to work together before it is too late. It seems that China has set a good example. Thanks to cooperation at many levels, China had the biggest increase in forest area among all countries in 2024. That year alone, newly-planted trees in China covered an area of nearly 45,000 square kilometers, according to a news report. If more countries start to take action like China, the earth will become a greener planet. 1．What is shown about the size of Italy mentioned in Paragraph 1? A．Why we need forests. B．Where a disaster spread. C．How serious climate change is. D．How terrible forest loss was. 2．Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 2? A．Farming is a reason B．Take Brazil for example C．Wildfires were stopped D．Read the report carefully 3．What does the underlined word “severe” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Serious. B．Boring. C．Balanced. D．Positive. 4．What was the reason for the growth of China’s forest area in 2024? A．Enough land. B．Nice weather. C．Good teamwork. D．Green technology. 5．What is the best title for the text? A．Rainforest Became Larger. B．Farmland Area Grew Rapidly. C．Forest Fires Caused Pollution. D．Forest Loss Worried the World. 二、短文填空（10题） 阅读短文，在空白处填入适当的内容或括号内单词的正确形式。 “Low carbon” becomes the most popular words these days because more and more people pay attention ____6____ our environment.

However, a recent scientific report shows that the world lost 300,000 square kilometers of forests in 2024. That’s an area about the size of Italy. (每个人都知道森林有助于对抗气候变化。然而，最近的一份科学报告显示，在2024年，世界上失去了30万平方公里的森林。这片区域和意大利差不多大。)”可知，第一段把2024年全球消失的森林面积和意大利国土面积作对比，用具体面积对比直观体现森林流失情况有多严重。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“According to the report, for the first time ever, fires were the biggest cause of forest loss. ... This country has the largest area of rainforest in the world. Last year, it suffered from a long period of dry weather. Wildfires broke out and spread. As a result, about 25,000 square kilometers of the primary rainforest disappeared in the country. (根据该报告，火灾有史以来第一次成为森林损失的最大原因。……这个国家拥有世界上面积最大的雨林。去年，它遭受了长时间的干旱天气。野火爆发并蔓延。结果，该国大约25,000平方公里的原始雨林消失了。)”可知，空前是说火灾有史以来第一次成为森林损失的最大原因，空后是介绍某个拥有世界最大雨林的国家因干旱、野火损失大量雨林，是对前文观点的举例论证（以某国家为例），所以填“以巴西为例”。 3．词句猜词题。根据第三段“In 2024, the area of forest cleared for farming increased by 14% worldwide. The situation was more severe in six developing countries. For example, Bolivia lost 2.5 times as much forest in 2024 as it did the year before. (2024年，全球用于农业的森林砍伐面积增加了14%。六个发展中国家的情况更为……。例如，玻利维亚在2024年失去的森林是前一年的2.5倍。)”可知，前文提到全球开荒毁林面积上涨14%，后文说明玻利维亚在2024年失去的森林是前一年的2.5倍，本句指六个发展中国家的情况更加严重，“severe”在此处意为“严重的”，和serious同义。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Thanks to cooperation at many levels, China had the biggest increase in forest area among all countries in 2024. (由于多层次的合作，中国在2024年的森林面积增长是所有国家中最大的。)”可知，2024年中国森林面积增长的原因是多层次的合作（即良好的团队合作）。 5．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章开篇点明全球森林流失严重，接着介绍森林流失的两大主要原因（火灾、开荒农耕），最后呼吁各国联手保护森林。核心主题是“森林流失问题引发全球担忧”。 二、短文填空（10题） 阅读短文，在空白处填入适当的内容或括号内单词的正确形式。 “Low carbon” becomes the most popular words these days because more and more people pay attention ____6____ our environment. Low carbon life ____7____ (mean) a kind of lifestyle in which people do their best to use less energy. We should develop good habits in our daily life. For example, when we go shopping, we’d better use ____8____ (few) plastic bags. When ____9____ (build) a house, we must use green material; buy the lights  ____10____ need less energy. We should put rubbish into different kinds and ____11____ (recyclable) the useful things, like bottles and paper. As for transportation, we can ride a bike instead of ____12____ (drive) a car. Besides, we should try ____13____ (us) best to tell the people around us the ____14____ (important) of the low carbon lifestyle. And we can also ask them to join us to take the low carbon life. In this way, not only can we make our city better, ____15____ also it’s good for ourselves. In all, it weighs greatly for all of us to put the low carbon lifestyle into practice. 【答案】 6．to 7．means 8．fewer 9．building 10．that/which 11．recycle 12．driving 13．our 14．importance 15．but 【导语】本文主要介绍了低碳生活的含义与具体实践方式，倡导人们在日常中养成节能、环保的好习惯，并向身边人推广低碳理念，践行低碳生活对城市和个人都具有重要意义。 【详解】6．考查介词及短语搭配。句意：“低碳”如今成了最流行的词汇，因为越来越多的人关注我们的环境。固定搭配“pay attention to”意为“注意；关注”。 7．考查动词时态。句意：低碳生活意味着一种人们尽力使用更少能源的生活方式。句子主语 “Low carbon life”是单数第三人称，句子描述客观事实，用一般现在时，动词mean需变为第三人称单数形式means。 8．考查形容词比较级。句意：例如，当我们去购物时，我们最好使用更少的塑料袋。结合语境，此处表达“更少的”，修饰可数名词复数plastic bags，few的比较级形式为fewer。 9．考查非谓语动词。句意：在建房子时，我们必须使用绿色材料。此处是“when +现在分词”作时间状语，build与逻辑主语we之间是主动关系，应用现在分词形式building。 10．考查定语从句。句意：购买需要更少能源的灯。此空引导一个定语从句，先行词是“the lights”指物，从句中缺少主语，可用关系代词that或which引导定语从句。 11．考查动词。句意：我们应该把垃圾分成不同种类，并回收有用的东西，比如瓶子和纸张。and连接并列谓语，前面是“should put”，此处应使用动词原形，recyclable的动词形式是recycle。 12．考查非谓语动词。句意：至于交通，我们可以骑自行车而不是开车。固定搭配“instead of doing sth.”意为“而不是做某事”，介词of后接动名词形式，drive的动名词是driving。 13．考查形容词性物主代词。句意：此外，我们应该尽最大努力告诉身边的人低碳生活方式的重要性。固定搭配“try one’s best”意为“尽某人最大努力”，主语是we，对应的形容词性物主代词是our。 14．考查名词。句意：此外，我们应该尽最大努力告诉身边的人低碳生活方式的重要性。定冠词the 后需接名词，important的名词形式是importance，意为“重要性”。 15．考查固定短语。句意：这样一来，我们不仅能让我们的城市变得更好，而且对我们自己也有好处。固定句型“not only ... but also ... ”意为“不仅……而且……”，用but。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
