Unit 2 The environment 课时练1　2篇阅读＋1篇完形 阅读理解 A ‎(2020·马鞍山质量预测)‎ World Environment Day is celebrated annually on June 5th and was created to inspire people around the globe to take an active part in environmental protection and learn more about ways we can help to guarantee the future of our planet is safe.‎ The very first World Environment Day took place in 1974, established by the United Nations General Assembly on the first day of the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment that took place in 1972.Each year the United Nations picks a theme and a host city where anyone who is concerned about the environment can talk about environmental topics with others, followed by different kinds of exhibits to promote environmental awareness. Environmentalists, academics and scientists come together to bring new ideas on the table concerning the environment.‎ The 2018 World Environment Day was hosted by India, and the theme was Beat Plastic Pollution. It urged people to explore and choose supportable alternatives like paper or cloth bags to reduce the production and use of disposable plastic, which made up 10% of all of the waste. Even though the United Nations picks a specific host city every year, people around the world still celebrate World Environment Day in their hometowns with parades(游行), concerts, cleaning up and tree planting and all kinds of green actions to work towards having a beautiful planet and battling pollution.‎ World Environment Day is not a public holiday, so you won’t be getting the day off work or school, but if you want to celebrate, why not bring it to the attention 16‎ ‎ of your parents, friends, colleagues or classmates? World Environment Day is all about working together to take action for the planet, so try to get everyone you know interested in helping do something. Things as small as making sure people have a way to recycle can make a difference. You could also try beautifying your neighborhood by planting gardens, learn about green foods, raise money for a local wildlife conservation group or simply learn about the effects of different products on the earth.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界环境日的由来和情况，呼吁全员行动起来帮助保护地球。‎ ‎1．Why is World Environment Day set up?‎ A．To make people know more about nature.‎ B．To ask people to help to protect the globe.‎ C．To warn people of the danger of air pollution.‎ D．To encourage people to plan the earth’s future.‎ B　解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“to inspire people around the globe to take an active part in environmental protection and learn more about ways we can help to guarantee the future of our planet is safe”可知，世界环境日的目的是鼓励世界各地的人们积极参与环境保护并学会更多方法来帮助确保我们的地球将来是安全的，故选B。‎ ‎2．What do people do on World Environment Day?‎ A．Decide a host city.‎ B．Hold a theme party.‎ C．Discuss environmental ideas.‎ D．Show some plastic products.‎ C　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“where anyone who is concerned about the environment can talk about environmental topics with others”以及“Environmentalists, academics and scientists come together to bring new ideas on the table concerning the environment.”可知，人们主要是在这一天讨论环境问题，故选C。‎ ‎3．Which of the following words is closest in meaning to the underlined word “disposable” in Paragraph 3?‎ A．Highcost. B．Poorquality.‎ 16‎ C．Secondhand. D．Singleuse.‎ D　解析：词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“Beat Plastic Pollution”可知，2018年的主题是“塑战速决”，再结合画线词前面的“It urged people to explore and choose supportable alternatives like paper or cloth bags”和后面的“which made up 10% of all of the waste”可知，“disposable plastic”造成大量资源浪费，所以“一次性的”符合语境，故选D。‎ ‎4．What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?‎ A．Every bit of effort counts.‎ B．Doing is better than saying.‎ C．Many hands make light work.‎ D．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.‎ A　解析：段落大意题。根据最后一段的内容可知，世界环境日不是一个公共节日，所以人们不放假。但如果你想庆祝的话，为何不让你周围的人关注它。所以最后一段主要是讲每个人都可以从身边小事做起，行动起来保护地球，每个人的微小努力都很重要(Every bit of effort counts.)，故选A。Doing is better than saying.“行胜于言。”；Many hands make light work.“众人拾柴火焰高。”；Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.“有志者事竟成。”‎ B ‎(2020·长沙统一模拟)‎ When she first started learning about the climate change from one of her elders, Fawn Sharp was invited on a helicopter flight over the Olympic Mountains to survey the Mount Anderson glacier. But the glacier was gone, melted by the warming climate. Sharp had a deep sense of loss when she discovered the glacier wasn’t there anymore.‎ Loss is a growing issue for people working and living on the front lines of climate change. And that gave Jennifer Wren Atkinson, a fulltime lecturer at the University of Washington Bothell, US, an idea for a class.‎ 16‎ This term, she taught students on the Bothell campus about the emotional burdens of environmental studies. She used the experiences of Native American tribes(部落), scientists and activists, and asked her 24 students to face the reality that there is no easy fix—that “this is such an intractable problem that they’re going to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives.”‎ Student Cody Dillon used to be a climate science skeptic(怀疑论者). Then he did his own reading and research, and changed his mind.‎ Dillon wasn’t going into environmental work—he was a computerscience major. Yet, the potential for a worldwide environmental catastrophe seemed so real to him five years ago that he quit his job and became a fulltime volunteer for an environmental group that worked on restoration(恢复) projects.‎ Six months into the work, he decided that Atkinson’s class was just what he was looking for—a place where he could discuss his concerns about a changing climate.‎ Atkinson said she hoped the class helped her students prepare themselves for the amount of environmental loss that will happen over their lifetimes.‎ ‎“We are already changing the planet—so many species are going to be lost, displaced or massively impacted，” she said. “The future isn’t going to be what they imagined.”‎ ‎【解题导语】　Fawn Sharp通过一次搭乘直升机飞行的经历认识到了冰川融化的严重性，同时Jennifer Wren Atkinson给学生开设了课程，教学生如何面对气候变化，她的课程让很多学生关注环境问题。‎ ‎5．Why did the author mention the case of Fawn Sharp?‎ A．To lay a basis for Fawn Sharp’s further research.‎ B．To prove Fawn Sharp’s work is similar to Atkinson’s.‎ C．To lead into the issue of loss caused by climate change.‎ D．To show scientists’ concern about the Mount Anderson glacier.‎ C　解析：推理判断题。通读第一段可知，Fawn Sharp在一次直升机飞行中意识到气候变化导致了冰川融化；由此可推知，作者在第一段中提及Fawn Sharp的例子是为了引出下文气候变化导致环境问题的话题，故选C。‎ 16‎ ‎6．What’s the main purpose of Atkinson’s class?‎ A．To explore how different people deal with climate change.‎ B．To get students more concerned about the environmental issue.‎ C．To find solutions to the environmental issue of Olympic Mountains.‎ D．To teach students how to conduct research about environment.‎ B　解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“she taught students...the emotional burdens of environmental studies...and asked her 24 students to face the reality that there is no easy fix—that ‘this is such an intractable problem that they’re going to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives.’”可知，她给学生讲环境研究的情感压力，她让她的24个学生面对没有简单的解决方法这个事实——这是“一个如此困难的问题以至于学生们将用他们的余生来解决它。”由此可知，Atkinson的课程目的是让学生们更加关注环境问题，故选B。‎ ‎7．Which of the following words best explains “intractable” underlined in Paragraph 3?‎ A．Simple. B．Difficult.‎ C．Common. D．Interesting.‎ B　解析：词义猜测题。根据上文可知，Atkinson用美洲土著部落、科学家以及积极分子们的经历让她的24个学生面对没有简单的解决方法这个事实，并结合该句“this is such an intractable problem that they’re going to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives”可知，这是一个如此困难的问题以至于学生们将用他们的余生来解决它，故选B。‎ ‎8．How did Atkinson’s class influence Dillon?‎ A．It made him work as a parttime volunteer for restoration projects.‎ B．It made him realize a planetwide climate disaster would happen.‎ C．It encouraged him to be more involved in environmental protection.‎ D．It discouraged him to work on restoration projects for the environment.‎ C　解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Six months into the work...discuss his concerns about a changing climate.”可知，Dillon在环保组织做了六个月志愿者之后，他认为在Atkinson的课堂上他可以讨论他对气候变化的担忧；由此可推知，Atkinson的课程鼓励Dillon参与环境保护，故选C。‎ 16‎ 完形填空 ‎(2020·山西八校联考)Heroes come in different shapes and sizes.

This includes the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, and the Iron Age. But what age are we in now? That question can be answered with one word for some researchers: Plastics.‎ ‎“Plastic has redefined our material culture and the artifacts we leave behind. It will be found in stratified(分层的) layers in our trash deposits(沉积层)．” That’s according to John Marston, an archaeologist.‎ The wide variety of synthetic polymers(合成聚合物) would not exist if it weren’t for human action. About six billion tons of plastics have been made and 16‎ ‎ spread around the planet. They have been spread from forests to oceans ever since the first plastic polymers were invented.‎ Plastics are one of the most significant changes that humans have made to the Earth’s makeup. Most plastics don’t easily degrade. This only adds to the problem. Recycling isn’t an adequate solution. Not all types of plastic are easily recyclable. And there are only a few recycling plants that can process all varieties of plastic.‎ According to Debra Winter, writer for The Atlantic, this means that many of the materials thrown into recycling bins can cross the planet several times before they are processed. They are made into rugs, sweaters, or they are used to make other bottles. Millions of tons of plastics are recycled every year, but millions more end up in landfills or the ocean. The problem has reached the point where it’s possible that in just a few decades there might be more plastic in the world’s oceans than fishes.‎ ‎“Plastics have a supposed lifespan of over 500 years, so it’s safe to say that every plastic bottle you have used exists somewhere on this planet, in some form or another，” Winter writes.‎ The damage may already be done. It may be too late for human populations worldwide to change their plastic using ways. So the Plastic Age might soon take its place next to the Bronze Age and the Iron Age in the history of human civilization.‎ ‎【解题导语】　在我们所处的时代，塑料给我们的生活带来了很大便利，但是也给环境造成了巨大损害。‎ ‎1．Why do people call our age the Plastic Age?‎ A．Because plastics are not naturally made.‎ B．Because humans create plastics.‎ C．Because plastics influence the world greatly.‎ D．Because historians and archaeologists think so.‎ C　解析：推理判断题。根据第一段第一句可知，历史学家和考古学家是通过对社会造成最大影响的技术或材料来界定人类历史时期的，由此可推知，我们称现在这个时代为塑料时代的原因是塑料极大地影响了世界，故C项正确。‎ 16‎ ‎2．According to the passage, how are most plastics dealt with currently?‎ A．They are recycled.‎ B．They are degraded.‎ C．They are thrown away.‎ D．They are made into bottles.‎ C　解析：细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Millions of tons of plastics are recycled every year, but millions more end up in landfills or the ocean.”可知，每年数百万吨的塑料垃圾被回收，但是更多的塑料垃圾最终被扔到垃圾场或海洋中了，故C项正确。‎ ‎3．What is the author’s attitude to the Plastic Age?‎ A．Negative. B．Ambiguous.‎ C．Favorable. D．Unconcerned.‎ A　解析：观点态度题。根据全文内容可知，作者在文章中描述了塑料垃圾对社会的巨大的负面影响，尤其在最后一段中作者提到，塑料垃圾对社会可能已经造成了损害，世界各地的人们改变使用塑料的方式可能太晚了。由此可推知，作者对塑料时代持消极态度。故A项正确。‎ ‎4．What is the main idea of this passage?‎ A．Plastics have ruined our environment.‎ B．We must stop using plastics altogether.‎ C．Human beings are in the Plastic Age.‎ D．Plastics are significant to human development.‎ C　解析：主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述的是我们人类现在处于塑料时代并解释了我们这个时代被称为塑料时代的原因，由此可1推知，C项最符合文意。‎ B ‎(2020·昆明摸底调研)‎ A new study shows that rising levels of planetwarming gases may reduce important nutrients(营养物) in food crops.‎ Researchers studied the effects of carbon dioxide on rice. In the experiment, ‎ 16‎ scientists grew 18 kinds of rice in fields in China and Japan. They set carbon dioxide levels to what scientists are predicting for our planet by the end of the century. Rice grown under high carbon dioxide conditions had, on average, 13 to 30 percent lower levels of four B vitamins and 10 percent less protein(蛋白质). The crops also had 8 percent less iron and 5 percent less zinc than rice grown under normal conditions. However, vitamin E levels increased by about 13 percent on average.‎ The researchers said the effects of planetwarming gases would be most severe for the poorest citizens in some of the least developed countries. These people generally eat the most rice and have the least complex diets. That includes about 600 million people in Indonesia, Cambodia, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Laos and other nations, mainly in Southeast Asia.‎ Other studies have shown that higher temperatures from climate change and weather extremes will reduce food production. And scientists are finding that rising levels of carbon dioxide and other planetwarming gases threaten food quality.‎ Earlier studies showed that wheat, rice, field peas and soybeans grown under high carbon dioxide conditions all had lower levels of protein and minerals. Scientists predicted that almost 150 million people might be at risk of having too little protein or zinc in their diet by 2050.‎ The new study suggests a way to lower the nutritional harm of climate change. That is to grow different forms of rice that can adapt to higher carbon dioxide levels.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文介绍了温室气体减少了粮食作物中的营养物质以及降低气候变化对营养物的损害的方法。‎ ‎5．Growing rice under high carbon dioxide conditions may ________．‎ A．increase iron in the rice B．make it less nutritious C．cause losses of vitamin E D．make it more delicious B　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Rice grown under high carbon dioxide conditions had, on average, 13 to 30 percent lower levels...less protein 16‎ ‎(蛋白质)．”可知， B项为正确答案。A、C、D三项的表述均与原文表述不符。‎ ‎6．How can people reduce the nutritional harm of climate change?‎ A．By importing rice from China and Japan.‎ B．By taking other kinds of food instead of rice.‎ C．By avoiding eating rice from Southeast Asia.‎ D．By growing rice suitable for the environment.‎ D　解析：细节理解题。根据文章最后一句“That is to grow different forms of rice that can adapt to higher carbon dioxide levels.”可知，应该种植不同种类的可以适应高含量二氧化碳的水稻，故D项为正确答案。‎ ‎7．What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text?‎ A．To inform readers what nutrients food crops contain.‎ B．To call on people to care for the planet they live on.‎ C．To share the results of some studies on people’s diets.‎ D．To tell readers where food crops are mainly produced.‎ B　解析：写作意图题。通读全文可知，本文通过介绍温室气体增加对粮食作物的影响来唤起人们对人类赖以生存的地球家园的保护。故B项为正确答案。‎ ‎8．In which part of a magazine can you read the text?‎ A．Advertisements. B．Art and culture.‎ C．Science reports. D．Business news.‎ C　解析：推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据文中的“study” “Researchers” “studies”等可推知，本文是一篇研究报告，在杂志的科学报道部分能读到本文。‎ 七选五 ‎(2020·新疆维吾尔自治区适应性检测)You’re no doubt heard “less is more” over and over again.
