1、1Unit 2 Cloning词句猜测题之句意猜测题(阅读理解)方法指导在阅读理解中,解答猜测句意类题目时要仔细阅读文章,对原句进行语法和句意上的准确分析,做出合理的推理和判断。典例引领 (2017 江苏,D)Old Problem, New ApproachesWhile clean energy is increasingly used in our daily life, global warming will continue for some decades after CO2 emissions(排放) peak. So even if emissions were to begi
2、n to decrease today, we would still face the challenge of adapting to climate change. Here I will stress some smarter and more creative examples of climate adaptation.When it comes to adaptation, it is important to understand that climate change is a process. We are therefore not talking about adapt
3、ing to a new standard, but to a constantly shifting set of conditions. This is why, in part at least, the US National Climate Assessment says that: “There is no one-size fits all adaptation.”Nevertheless, there are some actions that offer much and carry little risk or cost. Around the world, people
4、are adapting in surprising ways, especially in some poor countries. Floods have become more damaging in Bangladesh in recent decades. Mohammed Rezwan saw opportunity where others saw only disaster. His not-for-profit organization runs 100 river boats that serve as floating libraries, schools, and he
5、alth clinics, and are equipped with solar panels and other communicating facilities. Rezwan is creating floating connectivity(连接) to replace flooded roads and highways. But he is also working at a far more fundamental level: his staff show people how to make floating gardens and fish ponds to preven
6、t starvation during the wet season.Elsewhere in Asia even more astonishing actions are being taken. Chewang Norphel lives in a mountainous region in India, where he is known as the Ice Man. The loss of glaciers(冰川) there due to global warming represents an enormous threat to agriculture. Without the
7、 glaciers, water will arrive in the rivers at times when it can damage crops. 2Norphels inspiration came from seeing the waste of water over winter, when it was not needed. He directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze, and was stored until the spring. His fields of ice supply perf
8、ectly timed irrigation(灌溉) water. Having created nine such ice reserves, Norphel calculates that he has stored about 200,000m3 of water. Climate change is a continuing process, so Norphels ice reserves will not last forever. Warming will overtake them. But he is providing a few years during which th
9、e farmers will, perhaps, be able to find other means of adapting.Increasing Earths reflectiveness can cool the planet. In southern Spain the sudden increase of greenhouses(which reflect light back to space) has changed the warming trend locally, and actually cooled the region. While Spain as a whole
10、 is heating up quickly, temperatures near the greenhouses have decreased. This example should act as an inspiration for all cities. By painting buildings white, cities may slow down the warming process.In Peru, local farmers around a mountain with a glacier that has already fallen victim to climate
11、change have begun painting the entire mountain peak white in the hope that the added reflectiveness will restore the life-giving ice. The outcome is still far from clear. But the World Bank has included the project on its list of “100 ideas to save the planet”.More ordinary forms of adaptation are h
12、appening everywhere. A friend of mine owns an area of land in western Victoria. Over five generations the land has been too wet for cropping. But during the past decade declining rainfall has allowed him to plant highly profitable crops. Farmers in many countries are also adapting like thiseither by
13、 growing new produce, or by growing the same things differently. This is common sense. But some suggestions for adapting are not. When the polluting industries argue that weve lost the battle to control carbon pollution and have no choice but to adapt, its a nonsense designed to make the case for bu
14、siness as usual.Human beings will continue to adapt to the changing climate in both ordinary and astonishing ways. But the most sensible form of adaptation is surely to adapt our energy systems to emit less carbon pollution. After all, if we adapt in that way, we may avoid the need to change in so m
15、any others.31.The underlined part in Paragraph 2 implies . A.adaptation is an ever-changing processB.the cost of adaptation varies with timeC.global warming affects adaptation formsD.adaptation to climate change is challenging2.What is special with regard to Rezwans project?A.The project receives go
16、vernment support.B.Different organizations work with each other.C.His organization makes the best of a bad situation.D.The project connects flooded roads and highways.3.What did the Ice Man do to reduce the effect of global warming?A.Storing ice for future use.B.Protecting the glaciers from melting.
17、C.Changing the irrigation time.D.Postponing the melting of the glaciers.4.What do we learn from the Peru example?A.White paint is usually safe for buildings.B.The global warming trend cannot be stopped.C.This country is heating up too quickly.D.Sunlight reflection may relieve global warming.5.Accord
18、ing to the author, polluting industries should . A.adapt to carbon pollutionB.plant highly profitable cropsC.leave carbon emission aloneD.fight against carbon pollution6.Whats the authors preferred solution to global warming?A.Setting up a new standard.B.Reducing carbon emission.C.Adapting to climat
19、e change.4D.Monitoring polluting industries.方法运用 语篇解读 本文为议论文,题材为环境问题类。话题为“老问题,新方法”适应我们所面临的严峻的气候环境,而且要意识到环境的改变和适应环境是一个过程。1.A 词义猜测题。根据第二段主题句 When it comes to adaptation,it is important to understand that climate change is a process. 可知气候的改变是一个不断变化的过程。再结合后面几段给出的事例可知,适应也是一个不断变化的过程,由此可推断出画线部分意为 adaptatio
20、n is an ever-changing process,故答案为 A项。2.C 推理判断题。根据第三段第三句 Mohammed Rezwan saw opportunity where others saw only disaster.及后面的描述可知他的非营利组织在充分利用糟糕的环境,故正确答案为 C项。本题干扰项为 D项,由第三段第五句 Rezwan is creating floating connectivity to replace flooded roads and highways.可知 D项错误。3.A 细节理解题。根据第四段第六句 He directed the wast
21、ed water into shallow basins where it froze, and was stored until the spring.可知 A项正确。4.D 推理判断题。根据第六段首句 In Peru, local farmers around a mountain with a glacier that has already fallen victim to climate change have begun painting the entire mountain peak white in the hope that the added reflectiveness
22、 will restore the life-giving ice.可推断出答案为 D。5.D 观点态度题。根据倒数第二段中的 When the polluting industries argue that weve lost the battle to control carbon pollution and have no choice but to adapt, its a nonsense designed to make the case for business as usual.可推知 D项为正确答案。6.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句 But the most sensible form of adaptation is surely to adapt our energy systems to emit less carbon pollution.可知最明智的适应应该是改变我们的能量体系以减少碳排放污染,故 B项正确。
