Green rfs—rfs that are planted with vegetatin—may imprve the indr air quality f cmmercial buildings by cutting the amunt f zne cming int the buildings frm the utside,accrding t a new research frm Prtland State University.
The findings add t the already knwn envirnmental benefits f green rfs,including reducing carbn dixide,decreasing strmwater runff and cutting dwn n urban heat,accrding t PSU researchers.
The researchers frm PSU’s departments f Mechanical and Materials Engineering,Bilgy and the university’s Hnurs Cllege,set up measuring devices n the rf f a big-bx retail stre in Nrth Prtland that was split between a green rf and a mre cnventinal white rf.
They measured the air cming int the building frm utdr intake vents
(通风孔),and fund that the air cming in frm the green rf area had mdestly lwer zne levels than the air cming in frm the unplanted area.They fund that the vegetatin trapped and filtered the zne in the utdr air.
The trapping effect is a prcess knwn as dry depsitin,in which airbrne particles cllect r depsit themselves n slid surfaces.It’s a natural prcess that is the key t remving pllutants frm the atmsphere.
The study was cnducted ver a tw-day perid.The authrs said the findings bring abut a lnger-term study—ne that culd include measuring ther pllutants as well as zne.

语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了“绿色屋顶”通过减少臭氧的进入,改善了室内的空气质量。阅读本文有利于培养学生的创新意识以及环境保护意识。
答案及剖析:
28.A 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第二段 “The findings add researchers”可知,绿色屋顶对于环保的好处包括减少雨水流失,不是增加,故选A。
29.C 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第四段第一句“They measured the the unplanted area.”可知,研究人员利用仪器检测进入到建筑内部的空气。
30.C 词义猜测题。考查学生在具体语境中推测词汇意义的能力。根据第四段第一句可知,从绿色屋顶上进来的空气比从没有植被的屋顶中进来的空气拥有更低的臭氧,所以植被“过滤”了臭氧。
31.A 标题归纳题。考查学生理解文章主旨要义并归纳标题的能力。根据第一段“Green Prtland State University”可知,绿色屋顶可以通过减少臭氧量,从而改善大楼内部的空气质量。整篇文章都围绕绿色屋顶展开,故A项最适合做标题。

In the past 50 years,the amunt f water in the pen cean with zer xygen has gne up mre than furfld in castal water bdies,including river muths and seas,lw-xygen sites have increased mre than tenfld since 1950.Scientists expect xygen t cntinue drpping even utside these znes as Earth warms.
“Oxygen is fundamental t life in the Oceans,” said Denise Breitburg,a marine eclgist with the Smithsnian Envirnmental Research Centre.“The decline in cean xygen ranks amng the mst serius effects f human activities n the Earth ’s envirnment.Actually,it’s a great lss t all the supprt services that rely n recreatin and turism,including htels and restaurants and taxi drivers and everything else.The reverberatins (严重影响) f unhealthy ecsystems in the cean can be extensive.”
In areas traditinally called “dead znes” ,like thse in Chesapeake Bay and the Gulf f Mexic,xygen plummets(大幅下跌) t s lw levels that many animals die.As fish avid these znes,their habitats becme smaller and they’re easier t be attacked r caught.But the prblem ges far beynd “dead znes”.Even smaller xygen decline can prevent grwth in animals,hinder reprductin and lead t disease r even death.It als can cause the release f dangerus chemicals such as nitrus xide,a greenhuse gas up t 300 times mre pwerful than carbn dixide.While sme animals can bm in “dead znes”,verall bidiversity falls.
Climate change is the key criminal in the pen cean.Warming surface waters make it harder fr xygen t reach the inside f the cean.Furthermre,as the cean as a whle gets warmer,it hlds less xygen.In castal waters,t much nutrient pllutin frm land creates algal blms,which use up xygen as they die and break dwn.
Peple’s livelihds are als n the line,the scientists reprted,especially in develping natins.Smaller fisheries (渔场) may be unable t relcate when lw xygen destrys their harvests r frces fish t mve elsewhere.S we humans have t carry n a war nw and win the war.
32.What des the first paragraph mainly talk abut?
A.The cean has been lsing its xygen.
B.The amunt f sea water is increasing.
C.The castal water bdies are dangerus.
D.The Earth becmes warmer and warmer.
33.What can we infer frm Denise Breitburg’s wrds?
A.Different ceans have different levels f xygen.
B.The decline in cean xygen has great influences.
C.The future f turism relies n the levels f cean xygen.
D.The decrease in cean xygen is the mst serius envirnment prblem.
34.Hw des the “dead zne” affect sea animals?
A.It ffers mre fd.
B.It frms dangerus gas.
C.It reduces their living areas.
D.It prduces mre carbn dixide.
35.Hw can we win the war accrding t the text?
A.By clsing smaller fisheries.
B.By cntrlling humans’ bad activities.
C.By imprving peple’s living standards.
D.By stpping nutrients entering the cean.
语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文。由于人类活动的影响导致全球变暖,气候变化影响到了海洋生物的生存,又反作用于人类的生计,人类必须采取措施应对此问题。阅读本文有利于培养学生保护海洋以及维持生态平衡的意识。
答案及剖析:
32.A 主旨要义题。考查学生理解段落主旨要义的能力。通过第一段我们知道了海洋面临的现状:在过去的五十年里,海洋中零氧水域的水量增加了四倍多。低氧场所自1950年以来增加了十多倍。通过这些现状科学家预计,随着地球变暖,即使在这些区域之外,氧气也会继续下降。由此可知海洋正在失去氧气,故选A。
33.B 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据第二段可知,海洋氧气的减少是人类活动对地球环境最严重的影响之一,这种不健康的海洋生态系统的严重影响还会扩大。由此可见海洋氧气的减少有很大影响,故选B。
34.C 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据第三段中的“In areas traditinally called ‘dead znes’ plummets t s lw levels that many animals die.As fish avid these znes,their habitats becme smaller and they’re easier t be attacked r caught.”可知,在“死亡地带”,氧气大幅下跌,许多动物死去。当鱼类避开这些区域时,它们的栖息地变小,更容易被攻击或捕获。故选C。
35.B 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据第二段中的“The decline in cean xygen everything else.”可知是人类活动影响了海洋氧气减少,所以要解决此问题必须控制人类的有害活动,故选B。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Sme years back,nbdy paid much attentin t the waste in hmes and landfills (垃圾处理场).It became s vast that the gvernment started getting cncerned the phenmenn culd create a disaster.A slutin had t be fund,but ne that is kind t humans and the envirnment.36. .Belw are the reasns why we need t recycle.
Cnserve natural resurces
37. .If a lt f pressure is put n these natural resurces,they might be run ut f fast.The nly way t stp the pressure applied t these resurces is recycling.Accrding t the United States Envirnmental Prtectin Agency,recycling ne tn f paper saves up abut 17 trees as well as 7 tns f water.
Reduce carbn emissins
Recycling greatly minimizes carbn emissins,cmmnly referred t as greenhuse gases.38. ,they wuld end up being burned,giving ut dangerus greenhuse gases.Whatever yur pinin n glbal warming,a lt f peple agree t the idea that everyne needs t play a rle in minimizing the effects f pllutin and emissins.
39.
Recycling has been prved t save up lts f energy.Cmpanies that use recycled aluminum(铝) save up t 95% energy during prductin f aluminum prducts when cmpared t cmpanies that surce raw materials.
One persn can make a big difference
Mst peple have already made up their minds that ne persn cannt make any difference in regard t recycling waste.That thinking might apply in ther fields.In recycling,an individual can make a big difference.Averagely,every American prduces abut 1,600 punds f waste every year.Up t 1,100 punds f waste is able t be recycled every year per persn.40. .
A.Save energy
B.Prtect the envirnment
C.That’s hw recycling was brn
D.If these wastes were nt recycled
E.That represents half a tn per individual
F.Many kinds f resurces are cnsidered limited
G.Yu and yur neighbur’s effrt t recycle will mean clean surrunding air
语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文。作者认为回收利用既能减少垃圾又能保护环境,并从资源保护、减少碳排放、节能和人人可为这四个方面介绍了回收利用的优点。阅读本文有利于培养学生爱护环境、珍惜资源的意识。
答案及剖析:
36.C 考查学生理解上下文语义和建立段落内语义连贯的能力。根据上文“A slutin had t be fund”提出的要求与C选项解决方案的诞生相呼应。
37.F 考查学生理解平行和递进语义连贯的具体信息的能力。本部分小标题中的“natural resurces”与F选项中的resurces相呼应。
38.D 考查学生理解因果关联意义的信息的能力。根据下文“they wuld end up being burned,giving ut dangerus greenhuse gases”描述的是一种后果,这种后果的发生与D项描述的条件相呼应。
39.A 考查学生理解上下文语义和建立段落内语义连贯的能力。本空的位置决定了答案必须是一个小标题性质的选项。再根据本段首句“Recycling has been prved t save up lts f energy”可知,这一段的主要内容讲述的是节约能源,故答案为A。
40.E 考查学生对平行信息之间的衔接关系的理解能力。上文“Up t 1,100 punds f waste is able t be recycled every year per persn.”与E选项构成同义转述,且上文中的“per persn”与E选项中的per individual相呼应。

42.C 它们受伤了,医护人员治疗后会小心地放入(laid)篮子里。故选C。
43.A 由下文可知这些受伤的动物是考拉,故它们对桉树的叶子是熟悉的(familiar)。
故选A。
44.C 由“miserable fires”可知是燃烧(burned)。故选C。
45.D 由上文护理人员治疗考拉,可知是考拉从大火中被营救(rescued)。故选D。
46.B 由上文可知,火灾十分严重,树木烟雾弥漫,大地被烧焦,因此是黑色的(black)。
故选B。
47.A 由下文可知,考拉爬到树顶保护自己,因此说它们不像袋鼠,鸟类或者蛇那样能从火灾中逃脱(escape)。故选A。
48.B 在火中,它们爬上树顶,蜷缩成一团是为了保护(prtectin)自己。故选B。

语篇导读:这是一篇新闻报道。短文报道了美国罗得岛州一名11岁男孩最近发现了一个不同寻常的海洋生物例子。他发现了被认为是该州迄今为止发现的最大的圆蛤之一。阅读本文有利于开阔学生的眼界、培养学生的好奇心,以及保护海洋生物的意识。
答案及剖析:
56.largest 考查形容词。ne f 后接名词复数,形容词的最高级。故填largest。
57.that/which 考查关系代词。分析句子可知,a kind f large clam为先行词,在定语从句中做主语,所以关系代词为that或者which。故填that/which。
58.a 考查冠词。university为可数名词,本句泛指“一所大学”,且university首字母的发音为辅音音素。故填a。
59.weighs 考查时态和主谓一致。根据本空后面“1.3 kilgrams”可知此处是表示多重,本句主语为“The clam”,时态为一般现在时。故填weighs。
60.lking 考查现在分词。本句已经有谓语,所以应填lk的非谓语形式。主语I与lk在逻辑上是主动关系,所以用现在分词。故填lking。
61.its 考查代词。edge为名词,需用形容词性物主代词修饰。故填its。
62.excitement 考查名词。express为及物动词,后接名词作宾语。excitement为不可数名词。故填excitement。
63.unusually 考查副词。副词unusually修饰形容词large。故填unusually。
64.t ck 考查动词不定式。tell sb. nt t d sth.意为“告诉某人不做某事”,为固定短语。故填t ck。
65.be shwn/be shwed 考查一般将来时的被动语态。分析句子可知,本句为一般将来时,主语the quahg 与谓语shw为被动关系,故填be shwn/be shwed。
