專題十五生態(tài)環(huán)保類閱讀+社會(huì)文化類閱讀+語篇填空+短文改錯(cuò).閱讀理解A(2018四川綿陽三模)On a cool morning,Wilson Kasaine heads out along a dirt path in southern Kenya.His calmness makes it easy to forget that hes tracking one of the most dangerous animals in the world.Kasaine is tracking lionsespecially one lion called Marti,who is the real-life Lion King of Selenkay Conservancy.Tracking lions on foot may sound like a death wish,but Kasaine has been doing it for most of his life.Born into a traditional Maasai family he quickly grew to understand the beauty and danger of wildlife.Living with big wild animals forces him to develop a good sense of where they have been and where they may be going.During his 12-kilometer walks to and from school,he learned how to tell the paw prints (爪印)of a lion from those of other animals.Growing up,Kasaine knew that improving his tracking abilities would help him avoid surprise meetings with dangerous animals.For many Maasai,tracking is mainly a matter of self-protection.But Kasaine is tracking lions to meet them and to protect them.He leads a small group of wide-eyed tourists over the red sandy path,searching for the lion that has left upon it his prints.Each year,thousands of tourists crowd Kenyas national parks to try to have a look at the “big five”:elephants,rhinoceros,leopards,buffaloes and lions.The international draw of these animals matters a lot because the nations economy is tied to the protection of its wildlife.If Kenyas wildlife disappears,so does its second-largest source of ine.Wildlife protection efforts in Kenya meant marking off land exclusively(專門地)for animals.But it also meant that the people who had originally lived in the area were forced to leave their land and into smaller surrounding areas.They are also finding it increasingly hard to keep a traditional Maasai lifestyle.But people are glad that it really makes a difference to wildlife protection.【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文。這篇文章通過講述Kasaine通過獅子的腳印追蹤獅子、保護(hù)獅子的故事,說明了肯尼亞從它的野生動(dòng)植物保護(hù)中受益很多。即使人們離開他們最初的家,人們也非常高興,并且支持野生動(dòng)植物保護(hù)。1.How did Kasaine track lions?A.By working together with

27-story tower in Stockholm,Petterson is hoping to sow the seeds of an indoor urban farming revolution.He is the chief executive of Plantagon,a new urban farming factory set to kick off operations in the basement of an office block in the Swedish capital.He is by no means the first enthusiast for indoor farming,which has bee increasingly fashionable in recent years.Claims for the practice of growing food in basements range from feeding people in desert environments to transforming the negative environmental effects of monoculture farming.Plantagons early promises reflect this new optimism.Petterson calls the farms approach “agritechture”:the bination of agriculture,technology and architecture hoping to revolutionize how we live and eat.The term may be new,but the concept isnt.Indoor farming is made possible by agricultural technologies such as hydroponics(growing plants without soil) and aeroponics(in which plants are grown in air over containers).Food can be produced without direct sunlight or soil.Plantagon plans to grow high-value foods in a pumice-like material rather than soil.Water for the plants is measured precisely.It will also dehumidify(除濕) the air and reuse any extra water to ensure zero waste.pared with conventional agriculture,it will need much less water to produce the same amount of crops.Energy is also a key issue for indoor urban farms,which have to create artificial sunlight.Although advances in the efficiency of LED lights have helped bring down energy consumption in recent years,plants use only about 1 percent of the artificial light produced.This leads to a great waste of energy,most of which disappears as heat.The basement farm will capture around 70 percent of this wasted heat and pipe it into the heating system of the office block above.Oxygen produced by the plants will be sent to office workers via the buildings air conditioners.【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文。作者通過講述瑞典斯德哥爾摩的Plantagon總裁Petterson如何在摩天大樓地下室中進(jìn)行都市室內(nèi)農(nóng)業(yè)革命的事例,介紹了室內(nèi)農(nóng)業(yè)在世界范圍內(nèi)的普及并分析了室內(nèi)農(nóng)業(yè)在環(huán)保節(jié)能方面的積極作用。5.What does Plantagon plan to do in the basement?A.Grow crops.B.Do operations.C.Open a seed pany.D.Give lectures about farming.答案A解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“.Petterson is hoping to sow the seeds of an indoor urban farming revolution.”可知,而Petterson是Plantagon公司的總裁,而他打算在地下室中種植農(nóng)作物。6.What does the underlined phrase“The term”in Paragraph 4 refer to?A.Aeroponics.B.Hydroponics.C.Monoculture.D.Agritechture.答案D解析詞義猜測題。該詞在段首,它指代的應(yīng)該是上一段中的內(nèi)容。上一段中主要介紹了名詞“agritechture”的含義。7.What do indoor farms do with energy waste?A.Produce oxygen.B.Run air conditioners.C.Heat offices.D.Create artificial sunlight.答案C解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“The basement farm will capture around 70 percent of this wasted heat and pipe it into the heating system of the office block above.”可知,地下室的農(nóng)業(yè)設(shè)施會(huì)把這些浪費(fèi)了的熱量輸入到上面辦公樓的供暖系統(tǒng)中。8.What is the text mainly about?A.A farming revolution.B.Pettersons achievement.C.A water-saving farming project.D.An environment-friendly system.答案A解析主旨大意題。整篇文章作者的寫作脈絡(luò)是:Petterson的室內(nèi)農(nóng)業(yè)革命的事例室內(nèi)農(nóng)業(yè)方式普及Petterson公司室內(nèi)農(nóng)業(yè)的獨(dú)特方式室內(nèi)農(nóng)業(yè)方式的可能性Petterson公司的打算室內(nèi)農(nóng)業(yè)的環(huán)保和節(jié)能。貫穿于文脈中的三個(gè)關(guān)鍵詞:indoor farming revolution。所以A項(xiàng)最符合這三個(gè)關(guān)鍵詞表達(dá)的意義。C(2018黑龍江齊齊哈爾一模)83-year-old Antonio Vicente has spent the last four decades of his life fighting against the trend.As Brazilian landowners cut down rainforests to make room for profitable plantations(種植園) and cattle grounds,he struggled to bring the jungles of his childhood back to life.“When I was a child,the peasants cut down the trees to make grasslands and charcoal,and the water dried up and did not e back,” he told the reporters.“I thought:Water is valuable,no one makes water and the population will not stop growing.What is going to happen?We are going to run out of water.”With only some donkeys and a small team of hired workers,Antonio Vicente set about bringing back the forest to his land.What started out as a weekend hobby soon became a permanent way of life,and Antonio recalls often spending whole days and nights in his young jungle,surrounded by rats and foxes,and eating banana sandwiches for breakfast,lunch and dinner.Over the last 40 years,he has planted an estimated 50,000 trees on his 31-hectare land,which now makes up a small but unique area of rainforest,and a haven for wildlife.As the forest grew,the water returned,and Antonio says that there are now over 20 water sources on his land that were no longer there when he bought it.Then the animals started making a home there.Today,the forest is alive with the sounds of birds and insects living there,and more species are settling in every year.“There are toucans(巨嘴鳥),all kinds of birds,squirrels,lizards,and even the boars are returning,”83-year-old Vicente says.“If you ask me who my family are,I would say all these right here,each one of these that I planted from a seed.”【語篇解讀】本文是一篇記敘文。本文敘述的是83歲的Antonio Vicente花了40年的時(shí)間抗擊干旱的故事。9.What do we learn about the Brazilian peasants?A.They wasted much water on farming.B.They focused on short-term profits.C.They cared much about the environment.D.They relied heavily on rainforests for a living.答案B解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段可知Brazilian的農(nóng)民關(guān)注的是短期的利益。故選B項(xiàng)。10.What used to be young Antonios biggest concern?A.Overpopulation.B.Polluted water.C.Loss of grasslands.D.Water shortage.答案D解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第一、二句“Antonio Vicente set about bringing back the forest to his land.What started out as a weekend hobby soon became a permanent way of life.”可知年輕的Antonio最大的關(guān)注是水的短缺。故選D項(xiàng)。11.What does the underlined word“haven” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Trap.B.Disaster.C.Shelter.D.Balance.答案C解析詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句“Over the last 40 years,he has planted an estimated 50,000 trees on his 31-hectare land,which now makes up a small but unique area of rainforest,and a haven for wildlife.”在最近40年,他在31公頃土地上種植了大約50,000棵樹,構(gòu)成了目前雖小但獨(dú)特的野生動(dòng)物的熱帶雨林天堂。由此推知畫線詞的意思是“避難所”,故選C項(xiàng)。12.In the last paragraph,Antonio mainly expresses his .A.affection for his forestB.thanks for his familyC.deep love for rare birdsD.pride as a successful farmer答案A解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“There are toucans(巨嘴鳥),all kinds of birds,squirrels,lizards,and even the boars are returning,83-year-old Vicente says.If you ask me who my family are,I would say all these right here,each one of these that I planted from a seed.”可推知Antonio主要在表達(dá)他對森林的喜愛。故選A項(xiàng)。D(2018安徽六校教育研究第二次聯(lián)考)Ask people in the UK what the words“Sunday roast” mean to them,and theyll probably take you back to their grandmothers dining roomsmaybe with a few stories of “the greatest puddings” and “the best-ever steak”.But now the traditional Sunday roast seems to have been left back in the old days.According to the Daily Mail,just one in 50 British families sits down to this weekly meal together.There are many reasons why the roast is being less popular.In the busy modern world,where breakfast is a slice of toast eaten on the way to work or school and lunch is a quick sandwich in front of the puter screen,people just dont seem to have the time or patience to make a roast.And Sunday was once a day when people could easily go to the kitchen to cook.Nowadays,people are often out shopping or at the cinema until its far too late to start thinking about heating the oven(烤箱) up.However,a recent article from The Telegraph warned against being carried away by our tight schedules.It would be a shame to let this fine old tradition disappear.The Guardian further explained that the eating of the big meal is only the half of it.The Sunday roast also makes for relaxed morning activities in the kitchen,and the table bees the perfect place to share good food and chat with family and friends.“For busy moms and dads,even if you can manage to turn off your mobile phone and the TV only once a week and turn the Sunday roast into a real family event,children can have fun cooking the food and clearing up together.”【語篇解讀】忙碌的生活方式導(dǎo)致傳統(tǒng)的英國每周一次的家庭“周日烤肉”活動(dòng)已經(jīng)成為過去時(shí)?，F(xiàn)在,只有五十分之一的英國家庭仍然保持這個(gè)傳統(tǒng)。13.Which of the following is most probably the best title of this passage?A.SundayBest Time for FamilyB.Sunday Roast Dying OutC.Its the Perfect Time for UsD.Lets Sit Down Together答案B解析主旨大意題。第一段中的“But now the traditional Sunday roast seems to have been left back in the old days.According to the Daily Mail,just one in 50 British families sits down to this weekly meal together.”告訴人們:傳統(tǒng)的英國每周一次的家庭“周日烤肉”活動(dòng)已經(jīng)成為過去時(shí)?，F(xiàn)在,只有五十分之一的英國家庭仍然保持這個(gè)傳統(tǒng)。下文具體介紹了導(dǎo)致這種現(xiàn)象的原因。故B項(xiàng)適合做該文標(biāo)題。14.Why do people pay less attention to Sunday roast?A.They have a busy lifestyle.B.They have no interest in cooking.C.They dont think it worthwhile.D.They are living in the modern society.答案A解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段“There are many reasons why the roast is being less popular.In the busy modern world.people just dont seem to have the time or patience to make a roast”可知,在這個(gè)忙碌的現(xiàn)代世界里,人們似乎沒有時(shí)間和耐心烤肉了。故可知,忙碌的生活方式是導(dǎo)致周末烤肉大餐正在逐漸消失的原因。A項(xiàng)正確。15.What does the underlined word“it” in the last paragraph refer to?A.A recent article.B.A traditional kitchen.C.The fine old tradition.D.Sunday morning activities.答案C解析詞義猜測題。由第五段中的“The Guardian further explained that the eating of the big meal is only the half of it.The Sunday roast also makes for relaxed morning activities in the kitchen,and the table bees the perfect place to share good food and chat with family and friends.”可知,周日烤肉有助于人們在廚房里放松,餐桌成為了親朋好友分享美食以及聊天的好地方。由此可知,吃大餐只是周日烤肉的一部分,周日烤肉還可以讓人們放松、交流等。故it指的是周日烤肉這個(gè)老傳統(tǒng)。C項(xiàng)正確。16.How does the author feel towards Sunday roasts dying out?A.Doubtful.B.Positive.C.Sorry.D.Uncertain.答案C解析觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。由文章對周日烤肉傳統(tǒng)的介紹,尤其是最后一段的敘述可知,該傳統(tǒng)活動(dòng)是一項(xiàng)有利于家人交流共處的好機(jī)會(huì)。所以,對于這項(xiàng)傳統(tǒng)的逐漸消失,作者深表遺憾。故C項(xiàng)正確。.語篇填空(2018山東泰安二模)China

quality of peoples lives”,作定語,修飾Chinas high-tech innovation(創(chuàng)新),且有逗號隔開,所以“2 has improved the quality of peoples lives”是一個(gè)非限制性定語從句,關(guān)系詞在從句中作主語,指物,所以用which。3.made考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。make與其邏輯主語a survey之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系,所以用過去分詞作定語,填made。4.a考查冠詞。泛指“一位大學(xué)生”,且university的首字母發(fā)音是輔音,所以填不定冠詞a。5.themselves考查反身代詞。句意:自行車它們本身不是全新的事物。表示“它們本身”,填themselves。6.is based考查時(shí)態(tài)和語態(tài)。表示主語現(xiàn)在的狀態(tài),用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí),且the operating model of bike-sharing與base on之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系,用被動(dòng)語態(tài),所以填is based。7.encouraging考查固定用法。介詞in之后用v-ing形式作賓語,所以填encouraging。8.It考查形式主語?！皌hat China is innovating and no longer copying western ideas”是句子真正的主語,這里需要一個(gè)形式主語,所以填I(lǐng)t。9.especially考查副詞。修飾形容詞true用副詞,所以填especially。10.largest考查最高級。中國在世界上擁有最大的手機(jī)使用量。表示“最大的”,用最高級,所以填largest。.短文改錯(cuò)(2018湖北黃岡中學(xué)二模)Good morning!Im Li Hua
