rise as well.All life supported by the oceans will be affected with this shock to their ecosystem.Corals are some of the most vulnerable marine animals and we are already watching whole reefs disappear.The Great Barrier Reef in Australia is no exception and will continue to shrink as the temperatures rise!These reefs are some of the best in the world for diving,but they will soon disappear!‎ Venice Sprawling across(横跨)hundreds of small islands in Northeast Italy,Venice is at extreme risk of sinking into the Adriatic Sea.Rising sea levels are in fact a serious threat to many coastal cities ‎ located at sea level.Lucky for us,however,Venice is developing a series of sea walls to protect the city in times of high tide.‎ Glacier(冰川)National Park Glacier National Park was once covered by over 150 glaciers,but by 2005 it only had about 27!Located in Montana,Canada,this park is over a million acres and has a huge plant and wildlife population.As temperatures rise,the glaciers and ice melt,which will upset the ecosystems sustaining over a thousand plant species and hundreds of animals.‎ The Amazon The cause behind the disappearance of these fantastic places ultimately comes down to humans.Our expansion usually requires cutting down forests for land,fuel and materials,but rarely considers the consequences.These forests are sources of food and medicine for just about everyone on the planet!‎ What will happen if we lose these valuable places and beautiful destinations?‎ ‎【语篇解读】本文属于环保类阅读,作者向我们介绍了如今全球变暖所引发的一些问题:我们将失去一些地球上最令人惊奇的地方!‎ ‎1.According to the text,what is causing the corals’ death?‎ A.Rising sea levels.‎ B.Rising sea temperatures.‎ C.Humans’ diving activities.‎ D.The shrinkage(缩小)of their habitats.‎ 答案B 解析细节理解题。根据第二段“The Great Barrier Reef in Australia is no exception and will continue to shrink as the temperatures rise!These reefs are some of the best in the world for diving,but they will soon disappear!”可知珊瑚虫死亡的原因是因为海水温度升高,故选B项。‎ ‎2.What can we infer from the part of “Venice”?‎ A.Many places are in the risk of sinking below the sea level.‎ B.Venice is the only coastal city of Italy.‎ C.Venice will never sink because of the protection of sea walls.‎ D.Italy consists of hundreds of small islands in the Adriatic Sea.‎ 答案A 解析细节理解题。根据第三段“Rising sea levels are in fact a serious threat to many coastal cities located at sea level.”可知海平面的升高威胁着很多沿海的城市,故选A项。‎ ‎3.What can we learn about Glacier National Park from the text?‎ A.It doesn’t support any living thing for its cold.‎ B.It is covered by over 150 glaciers.‎ C.Plant species and animals in it have died out.‎ D.It covers a large area in Montana.‎ 答案D 解析细节理解题。根据第四段“Located in Montana,Canada,this park is over a million acres and has a huge plant and wildlife population.”可知冰川自然公园在蒙大拿州占据了很大的面积,故选D项。‎ ‎4.Which site’s shrinking reason differs from the other sites?‎ A.The Great Barrier Reef.‎ B.Venice.‎ C.The Amazon.‎ D.Glacier National Park.‎ 答案C 解析细节理解题。根据The Great Barrier Reef中“Rising air temperatures will cause sea temperatures to rise as well”;Venice中“Rising sea levels are in fact a serious threat...at sea level”,可知这三个景点正在消失的原因是气候变暖。根据最后一段第二句可知亚马孙雨林的减少是因为人类领地的扩张,和以上三个景点原因不同。故选C项。‎ B Building a five-star hotel in the middle of a valuable wilderness(荒野)without damaging(破坏)the environment might not be easy,but it is far from impossible.The King Pacific Lodge in British Columbia’s Great Bear Rainforest shows that if enough care and attention is taken,the task is possible.‎ Unlike many other hotel building plans,no trees were cut down and no land was wasted to build it.The Lodge does not have the same location(位置) but sits on a floating boat pulled into the sea bay in May,till September.Those wishing to stay in one of its seventeen rooms must access it by boat or seaplane.Each guest staying at the Lodge is charged 3% tax(税)on the protection of the natural resources,but is given the chance to see whales and bears.And since these are the main attractions of the area and of the Lodge,the management knows well that in order to stay in business they must make the area untouched.‎ In 2000,the Lodge management signed an agreement with the native(本土的)Gitga’at people.Together they work for the benefit of the area.The Lodge knows that the native tribe(部落)is the owners of the land,so it pays the tribe for the use of their land and even supports the native youth and employs the tribe’s people.They,in turn,teach the newcomers about the local culture.‎ The King Pacific Lodge is one of a growing number of tourism companies that manage to minimize their environmental damage to win the approval(批准)of the local government where they set up their business.These companies pay more attention to environmental protection and are careful to use natural resources and protect endangered animals.Realizing how destructive tourism can be,they want to avoid the love-it-to-death effect of tourism.‎ ‎【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了在一片珍贵的荒野中建造的一座五星级酒店King Pacific旅馆,它坐落在一艘浮动船上,不占用土地,不砍伐树木。为了继续营业,他们必须保持该地区的原貌,同时与当地人签署协议,一起为这个地区的利益而工作。越来越多的旅游公司试图将对环境的破坏降到最低来表明旅游业可以减少对环境的破坏。‎ ‎5.From the passage,we know

place to place.‎ C.Guests in the King Pacific Lodge can take part in programs about the protection of nature.‎ D.Guests in the King Pacific Lodge have to pay extra money for the boat to get there.‎ 答案B 解析细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知King Pacific旅馆可以从一个地方移动到另一个地方。故选B项。‎ ‎7.According to Paragraph 3,we learn that some of the native people 　　　. ‎ A.want to learn the newcomers’ culture B.are not willing to sell their land C.are employed by local government to work for the Lodge D.may have the chance to work at the Lodge 答案D 解析细节理解题。根据第三段可知一些当地人可能有机会在小屋工作。故选D项。‎ ‎8.According to the passage,the tourist
