(2025·浙江杭州高一上期末)
Naturalist Enzo Suma,who is now 43,lives in Puglia,a region in southern Italy whose long coastline faces the Adriatic Sea.Floating waste accumulates in this relatively enclosed part of the Mediterranean,unlike the open ocean,where the waste tends to be spread over a vast area.Feeling concerned about that,Suma makes it a habit to pick up the washed-up waste along the shore,especially after big winter storms.
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文,讲述自然主义者Enzo Suma创办了Archeoplastica博物馆,通过展览向学校和社区展示塑料垃圾的持久性和环境影响,呼吁人们清理海滩、清理海洋和回收塑料以解决这一问题。
Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
One day,Suma was walking along the beach near his home when he discovered a bottle.Suma noticed on the bottle that the price,clearly printed on the bottom,was in lire,a currency that hadn’t been used in Italy since it was replaced by the euro in 2002.Could a plastic container have well survived in the Mediterranean,he wondered,for over two decades?
That led him to founding the Archeoplastica museum.It has a collection of about 500 unique pieces recovered from Italian shores and the bottle he first found is the first one of them.All collections demonstrate the unsettling life force of plastic waste in the environment.“Seeing that a product people may have used 30,40,or 50 years ago remains still unchanged,you’ll feel different.It’s a great shock,” Suma said to a reporter.So Suma often exhibits selected pieces from the Archeoplastica collection at local schools around his hometown of Ostuni.
“The playful side of the work allows you to arrive at the less beautiful side of things,” Suma acknowledged.“Plastic is a kind of useful substance.But it’s unthinkable that a water bottle,made from a material designed to last so long,can be used for just a few days—or even minutes
—before becoming garbage.Clean the beaches.Clean the oceans.Recycle.
But if we are still throwing out plastics,none of those are going to be long-term solutions.”
1.What’s Suma’s concern about his living place?
A.Its long coastline is disappearing.
B.Big storms frequently hit the area.
C.Floating waste spreads over a vast area.
D.The waste pollution on shore is worsening.
√
细节理解题 。根据第一段中“Floating waste accumulates in this relatively enclosed part of the Mediterranean...”可知,他所在地区的海域相对封闭,海上漂浮的垃圾会不断累积,因此他担心的是不断恶化的岸边的垃圾污染问题。故选D。
解析
2.What can be learned about the objects in the Archeoplastica museum?
A.They have a history of more than half a century.
B.They were quite valuable before turning into waste.
C.They’re more like educational exhibits than garbage.
D.They have stronger life force than ordinary plastic products.
√
细节理解题 。根据第三段中“It has a collection of about 500 unique pieces...All collections demonstrate the unsettling life force of plastic waste in the environment.”可知,博物馆的展品其实就是这些能够长久存在的塑料垃圾,目的是唤起人们对此问题的关注,所以这些物品具有教育意义而非只是垃圾。故选C。
解析
3.Which of the following can best describe Enzo Suma?
A.Creative,devoted and socially responsible.
B.Enthusiastic,ambitious and adventurous.
C.Generous,cautious and humorous.
D.Curious,efficient and playful.
√
推理判断题 。通读文章可知,Enzo Suma关心环境问题,提出了颇具创新意义的解决方案,并践行自己的想法,可知他是一个有创造力、奉献精神和社会责任感的人。故选A。
解析
4.What does Suma intend to tell us by his words in the last paragraph?
A.The birth of plastics has greatly served humans.
B.The key to tackling the plastic pollution is to stop littering.
C.The plastic problem can be solved by cleaning and recycling.
D.People should be more aware of the powerful functions of plastics.
√
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可知,Suma认为如果人们继续扔塑料垃圾的话,那些诸如清理海滩等的方法都不会是长久之计,即他认为根本解决之道是停止乱扔垃圾。故选B。
解析
B(此篇精读)
(2024·浙江温州高一下期中)
Landfills are places where a large amount of waste and other refuse is buried in the ground.They are responsible for releasing a large amount of planet-warming methane gas into the atmosphere,a new study suggests.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。一项新的研究表明,垃圾填埋场向大气中释放了大量使地球变暖的甲烷气体。文章对此进行了介绍。
The study,which was published in Science Advances on Wednesday,is aimed at helping local governments carry out targeted efforts to limit global warming by identifying areas of major concern.For this purpose,the scientists used satellite data from four major cities around the world—Delhi and Mumbai in India,Lahore in Pakistan and Buenos Aires in Argentina.
Based on the collected data,scientists have drawn the conclusion that landfills are the third largest source of methane emissions worldwide,after oil and gas systems and agriculture.And further investigation shows that the methane released from the landfills is generated from the decomposition(分解) of natural waste in them,like food,wood or paper.
Methane,though only accounting for about 11 percent of greenhouse gas emissions,traps 80 times more heat in the atmosphere than CO2.Scientists estimate that at least 25 percent of today’s warming is driven by methane from human actions.That’s why landfills are partly to blame for global warming.
Joannes Maasakkers,a leader of the study,said,“We found that these landfills,which are relatively small compared to city sizes,are responsible for a large part of total emissions from a given area.” Another scientist,Euan Nisbet,who was not part of the study,said,“This new work shows just how important it is to manage landfills better,especially in countries like India where landfills are often on fire,resulting in a wide range of damaging pollutants(污染物).” He also added that the newer satellite technology and on-the-ground research make it easier for researchers to identify “who is polluting the world”.
5.Why did scientists carry out the study?
A.To reduce the emission of methane.
B.To help the authorities control global warming.
C.To test out the new satellite technology.
D.To clarify which places people are concerned about.
√
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The study...is aimed at helping local governments carry out targeted efforts to limit global warming by identifying areas of major concern.”可知,科学家进行这项研究是为了帮助政府控制全球变暖。故选B。
解析
6.What do we know about methane gas according to the passage?
A.There exists methane in food,wood and paper.
B.Methane makes up most of the greenhouse gases.
C.More methane is released from landfills than from agriculture.
D.Methane prevents more heat in the air from escaping than CO2 does.
√
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Methane...traps 80 times more heat in the atmosphere than CO2.”可知,甲烷比二氧化碳更能阻止空气中的热量逸出。故选D。
解析
7.What’s Euan Nisbet’s attitude towards the study?
A.Favourable. B.Concerned.
C.Unclear. D.Doubtful.
√
观点态度题。根据最后一段中Euan Nisbet说的话“This new work shows just how important it is to manage landfills better”可知,他对这项研究是持赞成态度。故选A。
解析
8.What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.Methane causes the temperature of the earth to go up.
B.Satellite data help identify the source of the pollutants.
C.Landfills are to blame for the release of much methane.
D.Waste and other refuse should be forbidden for their impact.
√
主旨大意题。综合全文内容,尤其根据第一段可知,文章主要是讲垃圾填埋场是释放大量甲烷的罪魁祸首。故选C。
解析
1.refuse 熟义:v.拒绝 生义(文义):n.废弃物;垃圾
2.conclusion n.结论
3.investigation n.调查
4.account for占比……
5.be to blame for对……负责
词汇积累
This new work shows just how important it is to manage landfills better,especially in countries like India where landfills are often on fire,resulting in a wide range of damaging pollutants.
分析:how引导宾语从句;it为形式主语,真正的主语是不定式短语to manage landfills better;where引导定语从句,修饰countries;resulting in...是现在分词短语作结果状语。
翻译:这项最新研究揭示了加强填埋场管理的重要性,尤其是在印度等国家,它们的填埋场经常发生自燃现象,导致多种有害污染物产生。

effectively
