These sand dunes cover more than seventythousand hectares of desert.It is one of the largest sand dune fields in the United States. The bright white sand dunes are always changing,always moving, like waves on the ocean.Driven by strong winds, the sand moves and covers everything in its path. It is like a huge sea of sand.You may wonder how anything can live in this extreme environment of a white sand desert. There is not much rain.The heat in summer is intense. The sand lacks nutrients.Plants and animals struggle to survive. A few kinds of plants grow quickly to survive burial by the moving sand dunes. Several kinds of small animals have become white in color in order to hide in the sand.More than five hundred thousand people visit White Sands each year. They climb on the dunes and observe the moving sea of sand.White Sands is about twenty four kilometers southeast of the city of Alamogordo, New Mexico. In the visitor center at the entrance of the park, you can find out special activities and guided walks. You can drive about thirteen kilometers into the center of the dunes. It is like driving on a lonely white planet.Along the way there is information that tells about the natural history of White Sands.You can also explore the dunes on foot, seeing some unusual and beautiful plants and flowers. Signs along the trail tell about the plants growing in the sand. You can even camp there overnight. But you must be careful. It is easy to get lost in the waves of moving sand especially during sandstorms. There is no water to drink. The temperature can rise to thirty eight degrees Celsius in summer. There is no shelter from the sun's rays.White Sands is part of America's National Parks System, and it is just one of the unusual examples of America's natural and cultural treasures.16Which of the following plays a major role in making for the extreme environment?APlants and animals.BStrong winds.CIntense heat and little rain.DMany people.17Walking on dunes, people will _Aenjoy the beautiful sight of sand movingBsee many kinds of white plants and animalsCfind out some special activitiesDget lost easily and quickly especially during storms18What do we know about White Sands from this passage?AIt is one of the largest sand dune fields in the world.BYou can get to know its natural history while driving in it.CThe temperature here can rise to thirtyeight degrees Celsius any time.DYou are not allowed to camp here overnight.19What is the main purpose of the passage?ATo attract tourists to White Sands.BTo describe the history of White Sands.CTo introduce guided tours to White Sands.DTo explain the power of nature at White Sands.B2012·山東卷 The Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an ecological disaster area. Nauru's heartbreaking story could have one good consequenceother countries might learn from its mistakes.For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived on the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island.However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. Then whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A tenyear civil war started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900.Nauru's real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate(磷酸鹽) on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which is a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate.A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a stripmine. When a company stripmines, it removes the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Stripmining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon.In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world.Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars.In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses.Soon people realized that they had a terrible problemtheir phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing.By 2,000, Nauru was almost financially ruined.Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen.20. What might be the author's purpose in writing the text?A. To seek help for Nauru's problems.B. To give a warning to other countries.C. To show the importance of money.D. To tell a heartbreaking story of a war. 21. What was Nauru like before the Europeans came?A. Rich and powerful. B. Modern and open.C. Peaceful and attractive. D. Greedy and aggressive.22. The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from _A. soil pollution B. phosphate overminingC. farming activity D. whale hunting23. Which of the following was a cause of Nauru's financial problem?A. Its leaders misused the money.B. It spent too much repairing the island.C. Its phosphate mining cost much money.D. It lost millions of dollars in the civil war.24. What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?A. The ecological damage is difficult to repair.B. The leaders will take the experts' words seriously.C. The island was abandoned by the Nauruans.D. The phosphate mines were destroyed.情景作文某中學生英語報社舉辦中學生愛護環(huán)境人人有責征文比賽。請根據(jù)圖畫所提供的信息寫一篇征文??山Y(jié)合生活實際,談談你的看法,投給這家報社。注意:1內(nèi)容連貫,適當發(fā)揮;2詞數(shù)不少于60。_參考答案課時作業(yè)(二十九).1.D考查非謂語動詞。result in導致,與句子主語the fire是邏輯上的主謂關(guān)系,故用v.ing作結(jié)果狀語,選D,排除B、C;又因為A表示發(fā)生在謂語動作之前,明顯不對,也可排除。2Coppose sth.強調(diào)動作; be opposed to sth.強調(diào)狀態(tài),此處用opposed to the new policy表示處于反對新政策的狀態(tài)中。3B考查介詞短語。此處at random意為“隨意地”。句意:雖然到處都可見到警察,但他們似乎在隨意地搜查房子。4A考查名詞詞義辨析。range范圍。句意:這家飯店因為其適合各種口味和各種消費層次而很深受歡迎。circle 階層,圓圈;area 地域,方面;division部門,界限。5D考查介詞短語辨析。on behalf of“代表”。句意:我代表在座諸位感謝我們的特邀嘉賓令人愉快的講話。thanks to幸虧;in case of如果,假使;instead of代替。6C考查動詞短語辨析。result in 導致。句意:我們堅信,戰(zhàn)爭不能解決任何問題,只會導致暴力。run into撞上;come from來自;begin with以開始。7A考查名詞詞義辨析。句意:個人的是非成敗無足輕重,但人類的未來不容忽視。independence意為“獨立,自主”;competence意為“能力,勝任,稱職”;intelligence意為“智能,理解力”。consequence意為“后果,重要(性)”,of no consequence“無足輕重”,根據(jù)句意可知A項正確。8D考查動詞短語辨析。come about意為“發(fā)生”,符合句意。come down 下來;come out出版;come up被提出。9A考查動詞短語辨析。put up with意為“忍受”,符合句意。句意:李華正忙著準備一份報告,他不能忍受噪音,因此他整天關(guān)著所有的窗戶。 come up with 提出; catch up with 追上; keep up with 跟上。10B考查連詞。as long as 只要,引導條件狀語從句。11D考查動詞詞義辨析。insist“堅持認為;堅決要求”,后面接動名詞時須用insist on; assess“評價;估價”,不符合句意;acknowledge“承認”,與句子意思不符;advocate“主張;提倡”。 句意:我們應該學以致用而不要死記硬背。12C考查冠詞。第一空中take action采取行動,是固定短語;第二空是特指“行動帶來的后果”,故用the。13A考查短語辨析。根據(jù)語意可知,此處應為“反對”,所以用be opposed to。句意:他們關(guān)注世界的健康,并且他們強烈地反對戰(zhàn)爭。14D考查名詞。problem意為“問題”;reputation 意為“名聲”;challenge意為“挑戰(zhàn)”;circumstance意為“境況,境遇(尤指經(jīng)濟情況)”,常用復數(shù)形式表示。根據(jù)句意可知選D。15A考查交際用語。句意:Jack,你看上去很興奮。你猜猜看為什么?我們4比0贏得了比賽。Guess what?你猜怎么著,猜猜看;So what?那又怎樣?No wonder.難怪。.A美國新墨西哥的白沙是世界自然奇觀,以其極端的環(huán)境和獨特的沙丘吸引著四面八方的游客。16C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段前三句的內(nèi)容可知形成這種極端環(huán)境的最主要的因素是酷熱和少雨。17A細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第二句以及倒數(shù)第二段第一句的內(nèi)容可知,走在沙丘上人們可以欣賞沙丘移動的美景。18B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段的內(nèi)容可知開車在白色沙丘上行駛時,你可以了解它的自然歷史。19A寫作目的題。文章第一段是概述,敘述了美國新墨西哥州的白沙這一世界自然奇觀,下文則是更為詳細的介紹,所以文章意在吸引游客游覽這個地方。B文章主要講述了太平洋島國瑙魯如何從一個環(huán)境優(yōu)美的天堂島變成一個生態(tài)失衡、滿目瘡痍的小島。20B寫作意圖題。由文章第一段的“Now it is an ecological disaster area. Nauru's heartbreaking story could have one good consequenceother countries might learn from its mistakes.”可以看出,作者的目的是給當前很多只注重發(fā)展經(jīng)濟而忽略環(huán)境保護的國家一個警告。故選B。21C細節(jié)理解題。從第一段提到的“太平洋上的國家瑙魯島曾經(jīng)是一個美麗的地方”看出,瑙魯島是“有魅力的,迷人的”;由第二段第一句以及第三段第一句可知,上千年來,瑙魯島的人們生活在偏遠的小島上,過著平靜的生活。故選C。22B細節(jié)理解題。由最后一段的“Soon people realized that they had a terrible problemtheir phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing.”可以看出“磷酸鹽逐漸減少,開采殆盡”。由此可以看出,“磷酸鹽的過量開采”導致了生態(tài)災難。故選B。23A細節(jié)理解題。由最后一段的“Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. ”看出,是領(lǐng)導人不正確使用資金導致了財政問題。故選A。24A推理判斷題。文章最后告訴我們:Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island,也就是說,瑙魯島上的生態(tài)損失彌補起來需要大量的資金和時間,即選項所說的“修復起來很難”。故選A。.One possible version:Today our class went out to do some cleaning. We gathered at the school gate and started out early in the morning. Some collected the rubbish in the park, some cleared the old posters off the walls, and others swept the street. We hoped to make our city more beautiful with our own hands. At the same time some of us went to the public places, where there were a lot of people. We kept on telling people not to destroy the beauty of nature so that we can have a cleaner world. However, some people are not aware of the importance of protecting the environment at present. They litter rubbish everywhere and write silly things in public places. They often make our surroundings dirty and ugly. What's worse, some people destroy public equipment and cut down more trees. As a result, the environment in which we live is getting worse and worse. In my opinion, only when everyone protects the environment can our earth remain beautiful and comfortable for us to live in. It is an important duty for everyone to protect the environment, the earthour common home.
