Question

【題目】 Spring is here. Did you plant trees on Tree-Planting Day? Everyone knows that climate change is a serious problem these days. People have a lot of work to do in order to prevent it. One of the best ways is to plant more trees.

According to a study by NASA, the Earth’s green leaf area has increased by 5 percent, or over 5 million square kilometers since 2000. China is responsible for 25 percent of the increase. That’s about one square of the size of the whole Amazon rainforest.

Over the past twenty years, China has made great efforts to green the land in order to fight soil erosion (水土流失) and air pollution. It is one of the most successful countries in greening the desert.

For example since 1962, China had been planting trees in Saihanba in Hebei province. It was once a barren(貧瘠) area. After overcoming many difficulties, foresters have turned the area into China’s largest man-made forest. Another example is the Kubuqi Desert, which is near the Yellow River in Inner Mongolia. It was once the source(來源) of sandstorms in Beijing. But now, about one third of the Kubuqi Desert is covered with trees, and sandstorms are less common. Mu Us Desert was also known for its sandstorms many years ago. But now, one-quarter of the desert has been turned into forest.

In a word, planting trees is really important to us. Let’s take part in planting trees to make our earth greener and more beautiful.

【1】The reason why China makes great efforts to green the land is to _____

A. prevent climate changeB. plant more trees

C. reduce water pollutionD. stop the soil from being washed away

【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. China succeeds in greening the desert

B. Planting tree is the best way to prevent the climate change

C. The green leaf area of China has increased by 0.25 million square kilometers since 2000.

D. Mu Us Desert cause the sandstorms in Beijing

【3】It is _______ for foresters to turn Saihanba into the forest

A. dangerousB. excitingC. difficultD. impossible

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】A

【3】C

【解析】

本文主要談論植樹是防止氣候變化最好的方法之一，以及中國在治理水土流失和空氣污染取得了成就。根據(jù)美國國家航空航天局的一項研究，自2000年以來，地球的綠葉面積增加了超過500萬平方公里。其中中國占了25%。中國是沙漠綠化最成功的國家之一。像在河北塞罕壩種樹；綠化庫布其沙漠和毛烏素沙漠。最好號召我們一起種樹，讓我們的地球更綠更美。

【1】題意：中國大力綠化國土的原因是__________�？疾榧毠�(jié)理解。A. prevent climate change防止氣候變化；B. plant more trees種植更多的樹木；C. reduce water pollution減少水污染；D. stop the soil from being washed away防止土壤被沖走。根據(jù)第3段第1句Over the past twenty years, China has made great efforts to green the land in order to fight soil erosion (水土流失) and air pollution.（在過去的二十年中，中國為防治水土流失和空氣污染，大力開展土地綠化工作。）可知選D。

【2】題意：根據(jù)文章，下列哪一項是正確的？考查細節(jié)理解判斷。A. China succeeds in greening the desert中國成功地綠化了沙漠；B. Planting tree is the best way to prevent the climate change植樹是防止氣候變化的最好方法；C. The green leaf area of China has increased by 0.25 million square kilometers since 2000. 2000年以來，我國綠葉面積增加了25萬平方公里；D. Mu Us Desert cause the sandstorms in Beijing毛烏素沙漠導致北京沙塵暴。根據(jù)第1段最后一句One of the best ways is to plant more trees.（最好的辦法之一就是種更多的樹。）可知植樹是防止氣候變化的最好方法之一，B錯誤；根據(jù)第2段第1和2句According to a study by NASA, the Earth’s green leaf area has increased by 5 percent, or over 5 million square kilometers since 2000. China is responsible for 25 percent of the increase.（根據(jù)美國宇航局的一項研究，自2000年以來，地球的綠葉面積增加了5%，即超過500萬平方公里。其中中國占了25%由。）可知中國綠葉面積500*25%=125萬平方公里，C錯誤；根據(jù)第4段第4和5句Another example is the Kubuqi Desert, which is near the Yellow River in Inner Mongolia. It was once the source(來源) of sandstorms in Beijing.（另一個例子是內(nèi)蒙古靠近黃河的庫布其沙漠。它曾是北京沙塵暴的源頭。）可知D錯誤。根據(jù)第3段最后一句It is one of the most successful countries in greening the desert.（它是沙漠綠化最成功的國家之一。）和第4段列舉的例子（布其沙漠和毛烏素沙漠），可知中國成功地綠化了沙漠；A是正確的；選A。

【3】題意：把塞罕壩變成森林對林業(yè)工作者來說是_______________�？疾榧毠�(jié)理解。A. dangerous危險；B. exciting刺激；C. difficult困難；D. impossible不可能。根據(jù)第4段第1句For example since 1962, China had been planting trees in Saihanba in Hebei province. It was once a barren(貧瘠) area. After overcoming many difficulties, foresters have turned the area into China’s largest man-made forest.（例如，1962年以來，中國一直在河北塞罕壩種樹。它曾經(jīng)是一個貧瘠的地區(qū)。在克服了許多困難之后，林業(yè)工作者把這個地區(qū)變成了中國最大的人工林。）可知“把塞罕壩變成森林對林業(yè)工作者來說是困難的”；故選C。
