高一英語閱讀理解試題（生態(tài)、環(huán)保類） 生態(tài)類 (1) A Wolf in Danger What is happening to the timber wolf today? Native Americans and early settlers often went to sleep to the sound of a lonely lullaby(催眠曲). It was the song of the wolf howling in a distant forest. There were many wolves then. One kind was the North American timber wolf. Wolves are important to the balance of nature because they eat sick and weak animals. In Colorado, people tried to help deer by shooting wolves. But then there were so many deer that many of them starved to death. The timber wolf is on the endangered special list. Animals on this list are in danger of disappearing from the earth. People drove the wolves away by cutting down the forests to build houses, towns, and highways. Timber wolves are now found only in Canada, Alaska, Michigan, and Minnesota. This special animal may soon disappear from our forests forever. Then, its lonely howl will never be heard again. 1. Animals that are in danger of disappearing from the earth are called a _______species. A. endangered B. living C. alive D. lived 2. Wolves help the balance of nature because they _______.

The conservation(保護) group said tiger numbers have decreased(減少) 95 percent in the past century and only 5 000～7 200 tigers still remain in the wild — compared with nearly ten times that many at the start of the century. WWF published an update of their study on Feb. 11, 1999 — Wanted Alive: Tigers in the Wild, marking the end of the Chinese Year of the Tiger. The report states that in spite of the great efforts over the past year, much remains to be done to prevent the tiger from becoming extinct early next century. If governments do not fight against unlawful hunting and get rid of the demand for tiger products the tiger will go to extinction, says WWF. “We cannot relax for one moment if we are to make it certain that tigers will still exist in the wild by the next Chinese Year of the Tiger in 2010.” Said Elizabeth Kemt, species conservation information manager at WWF International and one of the authors of the report. Three of the subspecies of tiger—the Bali, Caspian and Javan tigers are extinct. The South China tiger faces the same end as only 20 or 30 are known to remain in the wild, down from 4 000 in 1950s. 1. This passage tells us that _______. A. WWF is a government organization of China B. there are altogether two Chinese Years of the Tiger: 1999 and 2010 C. Elizabeth Kemf didn’t join the authors in writing the report but she agreed to their opinion D. if the twenty to thirty South China tigers were killed, probably no tiger of this kind would remain in the wild 2. The word “extinct” in the fourth paragraph probably means _______. A. fewer B. lost C. dead D. alive 3. Which of the following may be the best title for this passage? A. How to Protect Tigers B. Tigers Are Disappearing from the World C. Tigers in the Wild D. The Chinese Year of the Tiger 【答案與解析】本文介紹了目前世界上老虎的狀況。呼吁全社會對之保護。 1.

Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it. Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world. Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily. Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution. The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must take care of the rise in pollution at the same time. 1. _______, our world is becoming much smaller. A. Because of the rise in pollution B. Thanks to science development C. Because the earth is being polluted day and night D. Because the earth is blown away by the wind every year 2. Hundreds of years ago, life was __________ it is today. A. much easier than B. as easy as C. much harder than D. as hard as 3. Pollution comes in many ways. We can even hear it. Here “it” means _______. A. rubbish(垃圾) B. noise pollution C. air pollution D. water pollution 4. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution because _______. A. it makes much noise B. it makes us angry more easily C. it makes our rivers and lakes dirty D. it’s bad for all living things in the world 5. Which of the following is NOT true? A. Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. B. The pollution of the earth grows as fast as the world population does. C. The problem of pollution is not so serious because there are not so many people living on the earth. D. If people could go to work by bus or bike instead of car or motorbike, it would be helpful in fighting against the problem of SO2. 【答案與解析】本文談到全球環(huán)境污染這個問題，同時號召人們來為我們的家園——地球出一份力，減少污染。 1. B。由文章的首句我們得知：世界變小是由于modern traffic and modern communication means(現(xiàn)在的交通運輸工具和溝通工具的使用)，而這一切都要靠科學技術(shù)的發(fā)展，據(jù)此我們可以推出答案是B。 2. C。原文的第2句告訴我們Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago(今天的生活比以前容易得多)，反過來說，以前的生活一定比今天的艱難，所以答案是C。 3. B。在眾多選項中，只有選項B(noise pollution噪音污染)是聽得見的。 4. D。我們根據(jù)第4段的第1, 2句Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad for all living things in the world…，可以得知空氣污染之所以最為嚴重，正如選項D(它是危害全世界生物的)所說的那樣。 5. C。選項C可以在原文第2段的第2句找到，但它缺少了前提條件many years ago(以前不嚴重而現(xiàn)在嚴重)，所以選項C是錯誤的。 (2) The office has always been a place to get ahead. Unfortunately, It is also a place where a lot of natural resources start to fall behind. Take a look around next time you’re at work. See how many lights are left on when people leave. See how much paper is being wasted. How much electricity is being used to run computers that are left on. Look at how much water is being wasted in the rest-rooms. And how much solid waste is being thrown out in the rubbish cans. We bet it’s a lot. Now, here are some simple ways you can produce less waste at work. When you are at the copier, only make the copies you need. Use both sides of the paper when writing something less important. Turn off your lights when you leave. Use a lower watt bulb in your lamp. Drink your coffee or tea out of your mugs instead of single-use cups. Set up a recycling box for cans and one for bottles. And when you’re in the bathroom brushing your teeth or washing your face, don’t let the tap run. Remember, if we use fewer resources today, we’ll save more for tomorrow. 1. The main purpose of the passage is to tell people _______. A. the disadvantages of working in an office B. the waste produced in an office C. to save resources when working in an office D. how to save water in a restroom 2. How many kinds of waste are mentioned in the passage？ A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 3. From the passage we can infer that in the office ________. A. using computers is a waste of resource B. many people don’t turn off the computers after using them C. computers are run by electricity D. a computer is not a must for working 4. It is suggested that we use both sides of the paper at the copier because _______. A. we are short of paper B. the printing is not important C. we should save paper D. we have to pay for the paper 5. The underlined word mugs is most likely to be _______. A. a machine that makes coffee B. a container that can be used again and again C. a paper product for tea D. something that can only be found in an office 【答案解析】本文介紹了辦公室資源浪費情況及節(jié)約辦公資源的辦法。 1. C。推斷題。根據(jù)第2段的內(nèi)容可知，文章是告訴人們怎樣在辦公的時候節(jié)約資源。 2. C。細節(jié)題。文章提到的資源浪費現(xiàn)象有：lights are left on; paper is being wasted; electricity is being used to run computers that are left on; water is being wasted in the rest-rooms; solid waste is being thrown out in the rubbish cans等。其中 lights are left on 和 electricity is being used to run computers that are left on 同屬于浪費電，因此文章中一共提到4種資源浪費，即選 C。 3. B。細節(jié)題。根據(jù) How much electricity is being used to run computers that are left on 可知答案為 B。 4. C。推斷題。根據(jù) Use both sides of the paper when writing something less important 可以判斷，兩面打印可以節(jié)約紙張，避免不必要的浪費。 5. B。詞義猜測題。根據(jù) Drink your coffee or tea out of your mugs instead of single-use cups.我們可以看出 mugs 和“single-use cups(一次性杯子)”相對，故可推測出 mugs 是“可反復(fù)使用的容器”。
