UNIT3CONSERVATIONⅠ.【語(yǔ)篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。噪聲污染日益加劇,危害人和動(dòng)物的健康。作者呼吁人們回歸自然,感受寧?kù)o。1.C詞義猜測(cè)題。畫(huà)線詞所在句意為“自然的寧?kù)o變得越來(lái)越……”,再根據(jù)后一句“即使在國(guó)家公園的偏遠(yuǎn)角落和北冰洋深處,也能聽(tīng)到人為噪聲”并結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可推知,自然的寧?kù)o越來(lái)越稀少。2.B段落大意題。根據(jù)第二段中的“Thisishavingatroublingeffect”“Inhumans”和“Inwildlife”可知,本段主要圍繞噪聲對(duì)人和動(dòng)物的不良影響展開(kāi),講述了噪聲污染對(duì)人的身心健康造成極大危害,并且對(duì)野生動(dòng)物也造成影響。3.A觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。由文章最后一段中的“Ihopethatwecantakethatdesireforaworld...andnotexperiencenoisepollution”可知,Mikkelsen非常享受大自然帶來(lái)的寧?kù)o,他希望能找到一個(gè)寧?kù)o的地方遠(yuǎn)離噪聲污染,由此可知他喜歡、支持自然界的寧?kù)o。4.A文章類(lèi)型題。通讀全文可知本文主要講的是噪聲污染日益加劇,它危害了人類(lèi)和野生動(dòng)物,屬于社科類(lèi)文章。B項(xiàng)為“自傳”,C項(xiàng)為“書(shū)評(píng)”,D項(xiàng)為“科幻小說(shuō)”。【語(yǔ)篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇新聞報(bào)道。文章主要介紹了颶風(fēng)艾達(dá)給墨西哥灣沿岸居民造成的破壞,以及人們?yōu)暮笾亟ǖ那闆r。5.B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中“IdasmashedintoLouisiana...Atleasteightpeoplediedinthestormandthetollisexpectedtoriseasemergencyworkerssearchwreckedhomesandbusinesses.”可推知,颶風(fēng)艾達(dá)極具破壞性。6.A詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)畫(huà)線詞上文“Atleasteightpeoplediedinthestorm”以及下文“isexpectedtoriseasemergencyworkerssearchwreckedhomesandbusinesses.”可知,至少有8人在風(fēng)暴中死亡,且隨著緊急救援人員搜索被毀的房屋和企業(yè),預(yù)計(jì)死亡人數(shù)還會(huì)上升。畫(huà)線詞意思是“死亡人數(shù)”。7.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“GrandIsleisnow‘uninhabitable,’saidParishPresidentCynthiaLeeSheng,with3feetofsandcoveringtheentirebarrierislandand40percentofthebuildingscompletelydestroyed.”可知,大島不適合居住的原因之一是整個(gè)島被沙子覆蓋了。8.D推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中“‘Ifyouhavealreadyevacuated,’saidGov.JohnBelEdwands,‘donotreturnhere.’”可推知,JohnBelEdwands州長(zhǎng)對(duì)路易斯安那州的前景持不自信的態(tài)度。故選D項(xiàng)。Ⅱ.【語(yǔ)篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了西班牙加那利群島的老昆布雷火山噴發(fā)時(shí),身為記者的作者被困火山島,得到當(dāng)?shù)厝藥椭?體驗(yàn)到危機(jī)面前人性的光輝。1.A根據(jù)上文“Ilongedtobesweptawaytoatropicalisland.”和下文“Iquicklyrealizedthattherewasnothingromanticaboutvolcanoes—evenonanisland.”可知,作者之前渴望被送到島上去,但當(dāng)自己被困火山島時(shí),作者發(fā)現(xiàn)這并不浪漫。discover強(qiáng)調(diào)“發(fā)現(xiàn)原來(lái)就存在的東西”而find強(qiáng)調(diào)“找到尋找的結(jié)果”,根據(jù)句意,find更加符合題意。故選A項(xiàng)。2.D根據(jù)上文“Ihadcomeprepared—anN95mask,andabaseballcapmySpanishmother-in-lawlentme.”和下文“Itfellfromtheskylikearainstorm,liningstreets,coveringdoorways,andfillingthesplitsofmyears.”可知,作者做了很多準(zhǔn)備工作,但是還是沒(méi)有能抵抗住火山灰的入侵。3.C根據(jù)上文“ButasI1myselfinLaPalmareportingontheCumbreViejaeruptionintheSpanishCanaryIslands”可知,作者正在報(bào)道一次火山噴發(fā),所以此處應(yīng)該是“火山灰”。

4.B根據(jù)下文“Whentouristsbeganpanic—buyingalltheboattickets”可知,航班取消了,人們開(kāi)始購(gòu)買(mǎi)船票。5.D根據(jù)上文“ButasI1myselfinLaPalmareportingontheCumbreViejaeruptionintheSpanishCanaryIslands”可知,作者是作為一名記者來(lái)報(bào)道火山噴發(fā),所以此處應(yīng)該是采訪居民。

6.C根據(jù)上文“Whentouristsbeganpanic—buyingalltheboattickets”可知,這里的游客們都逃走了,所以街道上空空蕩蕩的。7.A根據(jù)上文“IrealizedIhad,indeed,missedtheboat.”和本句可知,作者錯(cuò)過(guò)了船票,一直還在等待離開(kāi)的機(jī)會(huì),可以推測(cè)作者的內(nèi)心是驚慌的。8.B根據(jù)下文“HereIwasexperiencing,althoughinmuchlesser9whatthepeoplewerefeeling”可知,作者體會(huì)到了當(dāng)?shù)厝说母惺?所以這是一個(gè)更加深入了解當(dāng)?shù)厝说臋C(jī)會(huì)。

9.D根據(jù)“HereIwasexperiencing...whatthepeoplewerefeeling”可知,作者正在體會(huì)當(dāng)?shù)厝说母惺?。但后面出現(xiàn)了although表示“讓步”可知,作者并沒(méi)有當(dāng)?shù)厝说母惺苌羁獭?0.C此處與and后的frustration是并列關(guān)系,兩者應(yīng)該在感情色彩和形式上保持一致,且根據(jù)上文可知“老昆布雷火山噴發(fā)了”,所以生活在火山附近,火山隨時(shí)可能爆發(fā),這將帶來(lái)極大的不確定性。11.Awithnoendinsight意為“看不到盡頭”。12.C根據(jù)下文“fromtheEnglishwomanwhogavemeabagoforangesfromhergardentotheministerofthechurchthatletmeusethebathroomafterbei
