Question

4．The earth provides us with almost everything that we need to eat，sleep，work and entertain．To do all this，we use the earth's resources．Because some of us have more buying power，they end up using more resources than they usually need．At the same time，we also create a great deal of waste and pollution．So we also need to think about how much land we use to deal with that waste．Then two things happen：first，large numbers of the world's population get much less resources than they need to live； second，the earth is damaged．
The amounts of resources we consumed are like footprints．They show whose lifestyles are a burden on the earth and whose lifestyles are not．Because a few people eat up most of the earth's resources，the majority have to bear the consequences-like pollution．Th is is the ecological footprints that the earth keeps in its memory．
Some years ago，a famous expert，called William Rees，developed this idea of the ecological footprints．Today，this idea has become like a magnifying glass （放大鏡）．It allows us to see whether we are living lives in a way that keeps the earth in a reasonably good shape．Once the earth goes out of shape，there is no hope for human beings．
Countries like the United States and Canada have big ecological footprints．Rees calculated that the average amount of energy and materials consumed by a Canadian is what a land of 4.3 hectares can produce．India has a footprint of 0.4．This means that the energy and materials consumed by an Indian is what 0.4 hectares of land can produce．But if we look more carefully，we will find that even within India，the footprints of the city Indian are much larger than the rural Indian．
32．Which of the following is the best title for this text？A
A．Footprints on the earth         
B．How to protect the earth
C．Footprints of wild animals      
D．How to reduce pollution on the earth
33．Our footprints on the earth refer toD．
A．the cities we build         
B．the cultures we create
 C．the marks we leave on roads behind us    
D．the resources we use and the waste we produce
34．According to the text，rich peopleB．
A．should give more money to the poor 
B．a(chǎn)re using too many resources
C．a(chǎn)re helping the poor to live better lives  
D．should live in rural areas with the poor
35．We learn from the text that ReesA．
A．put forward the idea of the ecological footprints
B．thought highly of the United States and Canada
C．thought India was an extremely poor country
D．thought rich people made great contributions to society．

Answer 1

分析 本文是一篇議論文．我們消費及浪費的能源數(shù)量就是留在地球上的腳印，腳印越多說明消費的資源越多，給地球造成的負擔越重．一旦把地球踩得變了形，那人類就沒有了生存的希望．

解答 32--35 ADBA
32．A．主旨題．縱觀全文可知，第二段是本文的主題段．根據(jù)第二段第一句主題句"The amounts of resources we consumed are like footprints．"并結(jié)合下文中多次提到的"footprints"可知，A項意為"地球上的腳印"，適合做標題．故選A．
33．D．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段第一句"The amounts of resources we consumed are like footprints．"可知，地球上的腳印指的是我們消費的能源數(shù)量．故選D． 
34．B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)第一段第三句"Because some of us have more buying power，they end up using more resources than they usually need．"可知，有更強購買力的人使用的資源超過了他們的實際需要，即富人消耗的資源太多．故選B．
35．A．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第三段第一句"Some years ago…William Rees，developed this idea of the ecological footprints．"可知，答案選A．

點評 新聞一般采用"倒金字塔"式結(jié)構(gòu)（即先說結(jié)果，再說重要事實，最后說次要內(nèi)容），但有的通訊敘述方比較靈活多變，有順敘、倒敘、中間或許還會有插敘、補敘等敘述方法，這就要求我們在閱讀時特別關(guān)注．必須在十分有限的時間內(nèi)運用略讀、掃讀、跳讀等技巧快速閱讀，搜尋關(guān)鍵詞、主題句，捕捉時空、順序、情節(jié)、人物、觀點，并且理清文章脈絡，把握語篇實質(zhì)．
