环境保护A(2017·第二次全国大联考)It seemed that what I have feared in the past has become true eventually.In the last 19 years I have taken American students to many Chinese cities.The air pollution in Beijing and other big cities we visited have been simply shocking.Every time when my students commented about the air quality in China and how they missed the blue skies in the US my heart hurts.In fact，I did not expect that Chinese government or the Chinese people would have accepted my advice in 1994 when I first raised that question，or in 1997 when I published the article in China and the world.I understood the potential harms of cars to human health because I saw and lived through it in the US.In 2006，one of the readers who read my article online commented with anger that someone actually warned about the potential problems of the uncontrolled spread of private cars，and nothing happened.For the majority of Chinese people who did not have cars，and who were admiring the wonders and comfort cars bringing to life，the temptation of cars was irresistible at the time.I had a young Chinese friend when I was studying in Boston.He bought a car before he learned how to drive.He started to drive the first night he got the car before he had a driver license.The police caught him driving his car around 2：00 in the morning in the neighborhood.The police decided to let him go because he told the police that he came from China，and that it had been his dream to own and drive a car.Now he had a car，and he simply could not sleep anymore.He was too eager to drive his car.Now the Chinese government and Chinese people see with their own eyes what harms the uncontrolled ownership of car can do to their cities and their health.I hope that the Chinese people and Chinese government would be able to take some drastic measures to deal with this air pollution problems which threaten their own health now.1．Where does the author probably come from?A．China. B．America.C．Not mentioned. D．I’m not sure.答案 B解析推理判断题。

高考英语二轮复习专项训练阅读理解(科普环保)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解科普环保类1．犇犇阅读短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A shark moving around the coastline is normally a worrying sight，but this waterborne drone (无人机) threatens floating rubbish instead of people.Developed by Dutch company RanMarine, the WasteShark takes nature as its inspiration with its whale shark-like mouth. Responsible for collecting waste, the drone will begin operations in Dubai Marina in November after a year of trials with local partner Ecocoast.According to RanMarine, the WasteShark is available in both autonomous and remote-controlled models. Measuring just over five feet by three-and-a-half feet (1.5 meters by 1.1 meter), it can carry up to 352 pounds of rubbish (159.6 kg) and has an operational battery life of 16 hours.By 2016 there were approximately 150 million tons of plastic in the world's oceans. One paper from December 2014 estimated that over a quarter of a million tons of ocean plastic pollution was afloat."WasteShark also has the abilities to gather air and water quality data, remove chemicals out of the water such as oil, and heavy metals, and scan the seabed to read its depth and outlines," said Oliver Cunningham, one of the co-founders of RanMarine. "Fitted with a collision-avoidance system, the drone uses laser imaging detection and ranging technology to detect an object in its path and stop or back up if the object approaches.""Our drones are designed to move through a water system, whether it's around the perimeter (周边) or through the city itself. The drones are that last line of defense between the city and the open ocean," added Cunningham. "WasteSharks are operating in Dubai, South Africa and the Netherlands and cost $ 17, 000 for the remote-controlled model and just under $ 23, 000 for the autonomous model."Dubai-based operator Ecocoast has two WasteShark drones. Co-founder Dana Liparts says they will clean waterfronts for clients including hotels and environmental authorities and that Ecocoast' intention is to have the collected rubbish recycled or upcycled. However, Liparts argues that cleaning waterways doesn't have a one-size-fits-all solution and requires a combination of new technology, preventative measures and changing people's attitudes towards littering.（1）What do we know about the WasteShark?A. It can frighten sharks away.B. It is an ocean explorer.C. It is a rubbish collector.D. It can catch fish instead of people.（2）What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?A. The causes of ocean pollution.B. The dangers of using plastics.C. The severity of ocean garbage pollution.D. The importance of ocean protection.（3）What will the WasteShark do with an approaching object?A. Avoid crashing into it.B. Break it into pieces.C. Swallow it.D. Fly over it.（4）Which of the following ideas does Liparts agree with?A. The WasteShark should be used more widely.B. More measures should be taken to make water clean.C. The production cost of WasteSharks should be reduced.D. People should take a positive attitude to new technology.【答案】（1）C（2）C（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍一种水上无人机可以用于清理浮在水面上的垃圾。

How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments －mostly for entertainment purposes － is fair and respectful?Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals．However, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats．Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes.Zoos claim to educate people and save endangered species, but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals’ natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty．Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species’ nam e, diet, and natural range．The animals’ normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don’t usually take care of the animals’ natural needs．The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise．This results in unusually and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis．A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is mon among animals kept in small spaces or cages．Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered．Captive breeding(圈养繁殖) of endangered big cats, Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild．Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out．In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers．Haven’t we seen enough petitions to name baby animals?Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them．Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals’ natural habitats.【小题1】How would the author describe the animals’ life in zoos?A．Dangerous．B．Unhappy．C．Natural．D．Easy.【小题2】In the state of zoochosis, animals _________.A．remain in cagesB．behave strangelyC．attack other animalsD．enjoy moving around【小题3】What does the author try to argue in the passage?A．Zoos are not worth the public support．B．Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals.C．Zoos should treat animals as human beings.D．Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment.【小题4】The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by _________. A．pointing out the faults in what zoos doB．using evidence he has collected at zoosC．questioning the way animals are protectedD．discussing the advantages of natural habitatsxx高考英语阅读练习——科普环保类You may have never heard of Lanthanum, Cerium or Neodymium, but these elements (元素) and others known as “rare earth” play a major role in modern technology. They can actually be found in many places on the earth, but not in quantities that can be mined. Only a few countries — China, America, India, Australia, Brazil and Malaysia have any that can be mined enough to be traded.Even though some of these elements such as Cerium are as abundant as Copper, they are not found in concent rated amounts on the earth’s surface. They are often mixed together with other metals, which makes extraction (提取) of these elements an expensive and an environmentally messy process. It was due to this reason that the term “rare earth” was invented.Rare earth metals are used widely in our life. Rechargeable car batteries, puters, iPhones, DVD players, puter monitors, televisions, lighting, lasers, glass polishing, and superconductors all use quantities of rare earth metals. Also, with the advancement in “green” technology like solar panels, these shiny materials are being more important than ever. An average electric car uses 10 pounds of Lanthanum for its rechargeable battery!America has large deposits (存储量) of rare earths and has one of the first mines. It was opened in Southern California in 1940. The element “Europium” was the first metal to be separated in quantity for use in color televisions. However, in the 1980’s and 1990’s, as China started producing these elements in Inner Mongolia, the mines in America and elsewhere could not keep pace. The mine in Mountain Pass, California also failed environmental regulations and shut down in 2002.Now, recognizing the importance of having more than one supplier of this important resource, other rare earth owning countries like India and Australia are either dusting off their rare earth mines or speeding up their production. It is believed that the debate over rare earths will bee louder in the ing months and years.【小题1】What can we learn about rare earths?A．They are actually as abundant as Copper.B．They can be mined easily as other metals.C．They can only be found in a few countries.D．They are not really as rare as they are named.【小题2】pared with China, America _____.A．paid more attention to EuropiumB．has larger deposits of rare earthsC．started producing rare earths earlierD．has more rare earth mines【小题3】It can be inferred from the text that rare earths _____.A．are now in great demandB．can now be used in few fieldsC．are harmful to the environmentD．will soon be replaced by other metals阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项(A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

高考英语二轮复习专题三阅读理解第三节题组训练环境保护

第三节题组训练 3 环境保护A(2017·河西区二模)Air pollution is getting more and more serious in many places around the world.The fact that public parks in cities become crowded proves that people long to breathe in green，open spaces.And，in these surroundings，they are generally both peaceful and peaceable.It is rare to see people being at odds or even fighting in a garden.It seems to be proved that if human beings can freely breathe and share air，there is no primary reason for them to struggle with one another.But do we only sense what life could be when we enjoy green spaces?The plant world silently shows us what a reflection of life truthfully is.It also helps us to a new beginning，urging us to care for our breath.We must，in turn，care for it，opposing any sort of pollution that destroys both our world and that of plants.The interdependence to which we must pay the closest attention is what exists between ourselves and the plant world.Often described as “the lungs of the planet”，the woods that cover the earth offer us the gift of breathable air by releasing oxygen.But their capacity to renew the air polluted by industry has long reached its limit.If we continue to pollute the air by filling it with chemicals and destroy the ability of plants to restore it we will soon pull our world into an unavoidable disaster.Humans must learn to share life，both with each other and with plants.This task can be carried out only when each takes it upon her- or himself and only when all work together.The lesson taught by plants is that human life can only exist with nature.We must come to view the air，the plants and ourselves as the contributors to the protection of life and growth，rather than productive objects we can use and throw away freely.Perhaps then we would finally begin to live，rather than merely survive.语篇解读本文主要讲了为了保护地球，我们应共同努力，和谐地与植物世界共享生活。

2019-2020年高考英语二轮复习科普环保类阅读理解选编（2）xx高考英语阅读练习——科普环保类Scientists from China, Sweden and the United Stated have developed ahigh-producing rice that can reduce methane emission(甲烷排放), a major greenhouse gas blamed for global warming, from rice fields, according to a paper published on the latest issue of Nature.By inserting a barley(大麦) gene into rice, Sun Chuanxin and his colleagues created SUSIBA2 Rice, which stores more starch(淀粉) in the section of the rice above ground, according to a paper published on the latest issue of Nature.This means the grains will have more starch while the root will exude less nutrients that will later be turned into methane by microbes(微生物) in the soil, Sun, who works with Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, told Xinhua."It solves two major problems mankind faces at one time: environmental degradation and the need for increased grain output," Wang Feng, another scientist, said, adding that the rice can cut methane discharge by more than 90 percent during summer and more than half during autumn, as "the rice displays a greater emission reduction effect in high temperatures." Meanwhile, small-scale trials have also suggested an increased output: a single plant of the new breed has 300 more grains with a starch content 10 percent higher. Wang said the team is working on applications for the rice in different areas, seasons and using different farming techniques. "It's still far away from mass application, but at least we see the light of hope."Human-induced methane, though less abundant than carbon dioxide in the air, is responsible for 20 percent of the global warming effect. Rice paddies are the largest single source of methane linked to human activity. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, China produces 209 million tons of rice in xx, or 28 percent of the world's total of 734 million.【小题1】SUSIBA2 Rice will be a major breakthrough because _______.A．it tastes with a barley flavorB．it well balances environmental protection and grains increaseC．it contains more starch than the ordinary riceD．it gives off less methane in summer than in winter【小题2】What can we learn from the text?A．Scientists will soon grow the new rice in large areasB．Human-related methane contributes most to global warmingC．China may contribute greatly to global warming reductionD．Rice fields will be reduced all over the world【小题3】The purpose of this writing is to ________.A．ask people to cut down on their dependence on rice consumptionB．draw people’s attention to the serious cons equences of global warming C．introduce a new kind of genetically-modified rice and its possible benefits D．indicate human-related methane alone is to blame for global warming effectsxx高考英语阅读练习——科普环保类If you had a strange sound in your ear, what would you do? One man in Wales who thought he had a fly in his ear called 999, the emergency services number in Britain. And so did a woman who was worried about her green potatoes. Could she make chips with them? Were they poisonous? She didn’t hesitate about calling the local ambulance service to ask. According to a recent report, more than 31,000 non-urgent calls were made to the Welsh Ambulance Service in the last year.Inappropriate calls are a headache for health professionals everywhere. In the US, prank calls to 911 happen on a daily basis. Many callers use apps which hide their identity. But those who try to be funny shouldn’t be surprised if the police have the last laugh. One man from Colorado was arrested for making more than 1,200 prank calls, according to a report on the US television station KOAA—TV.People who take these calls are trained to stay calm and keep a straight face, no matter how strange the call sounds. “There’s no way for us to know whether the call is real, accidental or a pr ank call,” said a public safety worker interviewed by the American TV channel.The Head of Clinical Services at the Welsh Ambulance Service, Richard Lee, has a warning for prank callers. He says:“ When people misuse the service it means our precious ti me is being taken away from someone who really does need our help.” Indeed, these hotlines are supposed to help the seriously ill or those with a life-threatening injury. You never know, one day, the person who needs assistance could be you or someone in your family.【小题1】How does the author introduce the topic of the text?A．By giving examples. B．By telling a story.C．By listing figures. D．By making a parison.【小题2】According to the text, prank calls are usually________.A．meant to be helpful B．dealt with in timeC．thought highly of D．made to play tricks【小题3】What does the underlined phrase “have the last laugh” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．win at last. B．never find them.C．laugh at them. D．know nothing.【小题4】What does the author intend to suggest in the text?A．Prank calls are usually easy to identify.B．Operators feel annoyed by strange callers.C．Prank calls may cause serious results.D．Prank callers should be punished by law.阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

2019-2020年高考英语二轮复习科普环保类阅读理解（3）xx高考英语阅读练习——科普环保类Many gardeners believe that “talking” to their plants helps them grow---it turns out that they may not be crazy after all. According to the scientists from the University of Exeter, plants may keep municating with each other through a secret “unseen” language.For their experiment, the scientists picked a cabbage plant that is known to send out a gas when its surface is cut. In order to get video evidence of the munication, they changed the cabbage gene by adding the protein---luciderase(虫荧光素酶), which is what makes fireflies(萤火虫) glow in the dark.When the changed cabbage plant was in full bloom, they cut a leaf off with a pair of scissors, and almost immediately, thanks to the luciderase, they could see the plant sending out “methyl jasmonate(茉莉酸甲酯)”.While this was a known fact, what was surprising was the fact that the minute this gas began to give out, the nearby cabbage plants seemed to sense some kind of danger and started to send out a gas that they normally have to keep predators(捕食者) like caterpillars(毛虫) away.What the scientists are not sure is whether the plants are trying to warn the other leaves or the near plants about the danger---something that will require further research However, the team, which is led by Professor Nick Smirnoff, is quite excited about the findings because this is the first time it has been proved that plants do not live a passive life, but actually move, sense and even municate with each other. However, before you get all concerned, they are quite sure that plants do not feel the pain when they are cut, since they do not have nerves---so go ahead and bite into that juicy carrot!【小题1】What’s the best title of the passage?A． Plants Can Send Some GasB． Plants Can municate with Each OtherC．The “Unseen” Language of PlantsD．Plants Can’t Feel Pain【小题2】What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 mean?A． Gardeners B． PlantsC． Scientists D． Fireflies【小题3】When the plant sent out methyl jasmonate, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A． The nearby cabbage plants seemed to sense some kind of danger.B． The nearby cabbage plants started to send out a gas.C． The nearby cabbage plants tried to warn the near plants.D． The nearby cabbage plants municated through a secret language.【小题4】According to the experiment, plants ________________.A．don’t live a passive lifeB． can feel pain when they are cutC． can warn the other leaves about dangerD． can talk with each otherxx高考英语阅读练习——科普环保类Technological change is everywhere and affects every aspect of life, mostly for the better. However, social changes are brought about by new technology are often mistaken for a change in attitudes.An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children who are attending college. Surveys (调查) on this topic suggests that parents today continue to be “very” or “somewhat” overly-protective even after their children move into college dormitories. The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is greater today than it was a generation ago. This is usually interpreted as a sign that today’s parents are trying to manage their children’s lives pastthe point where this behavior is appropriate.However, greater parental involvement does not necessarily indicate that parents are failing to let go of their “adult” children.In the context (背景) of this discussion, it seems valuable to first find out the cause of change in the case of parents’ involvement with their grow n children. If parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently, would this have been possible?Probably not. On the other hand, does the possibility of frequent munication today mean that the urge to do so wasn’t present a generation ago? Many studies show that older parents—today’s grandparents—would have called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier.Furthermore, studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of munication between parents and their college children. The fact that college students are financially dependent on their parents is nothing new; nor are requests for more money to be sent from home. This phenomenon is neither good nor bad; it is a fact of college life, today and in the past.Thanks to the advanced technology, we live in an age of bettered munication. This has many implications well beyond the role that parents seem to play in the lives of their children who have left for college. But it is useful to bear in mind that all such changes e from the technology and not some imagined desire by parents to keep their children under their wings.【小题1】The surveys inform us of______.A．the development of technologyB．the changes of adult children’s behaviorC．the parents’ over-protection of their college childrenD．the means and expenses of students’ munication【小题2】 The writer believes that__________.A．parents today are more protective than those in the pastB．the disadvantages of new technology outweigh its advantagesC．technology explains greater involvement with their childrenD．parents’ changed attitudes lead to college children’s delayed independence 【小题3】What is the best title for the passage?A．Technology or AttitudeB．Dependence or IndependenceC．Family Influences or Social ChangesD．College Management or munication Advancement【小题4】Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

309教育网2019中考英语阅读理解：科普环保类一、阅读理解When you watch TV programs about wild animals, it is surprising to see how an antelope (羚羊) can run away from a strong lion. In the wilderness, everyone has his own way to protect himself. Even plants have their own ways to fight off enemies.Over millions of years, plants have developed their own defense system (防卫系统). Chemicals are fantastically used by plants to survive (幸存). By making their leaves, flowers, roots and fruits poisonous (有毒的) to enemies, plants can fight back. One such plant is the Golden Wattle tree. The British scientist David Cameron has found when an animal eats the tree’s leaves, the amount (数量) of poison increases in the other leaves. “It’s like the injured leaves telephoning the others to fight together a gainst the enemy,” he said.The tree also sends defense messages to neighboring plants by giving out a special smell. Golden Wattle trees in the nearby 45 meters will get the message and produce more poison within 10 minutes. Now, if an enemy eats too man y of the trees’ leaves, he will die.Every kind of plant or tree is good at producing a special set of chemicals. Herbivores, like rabbits, can safely eat the leaves of one tree, but they may be poisoned by its neighbor.In this way, plants have not only developed their own defense system, but also shared it with others. This makes it impossible for a single animal to destroy even a small area of forest.1．From the first 2 paragraphs, we can learn that _________.A. plants can do nothing against their enemiesB. chemicals are quite useful for plants to surviveC. an antelope can always run away from a strong lionD. leaves, roots, flowers and fruits of plants are poisonous2．If animals eat one Golden Wattle tree’s leaves, the tree can________.A. kill the animals with a special smell309教育资源库。

2019-2020年高考英语二轮复习专题三阅读理解第三节题组训练3环境保护(xx·河西区二模)Air pollution is getting more and more serious in many places around the world.The fact that public parks in cities bee crowded proves that people long to breathe in green，open spaces.And，in these surroundings，they are generally both peaceful and peaceable.It is rare to see people being at odds or even fighting in a garden.It seems to be proved that if human beings can freely breathe and share air，there is no primary reason for them to struggle with one another.But do we only sense what life could be when we enjoy green spaces?The plant world silently shows us what a reflection of life truthfully is.It also helps us to a new beginning，urging us to care for our breath.We must，in turn，care for it，opposing any sort of pollution that destroys both our world and that of plants.The interdependence to which we must pay the closest attention is what exists between ourselves and the plant world.Often described as “the lungs of the planet”，the woods that cover the earth offer us the gift of breathable air by releasing oxygen.But their capacity to renew the air polluted by industry has long reached its limit.If we continue to pollute the air by filling it with chemicals and destroy the ability of plants to restore it we will soon pull our world into an unavoidable disaster.Humans must learn to share life，both with each other and with plants.This task can be carried out only when each takes it upon her- or himself and only when all work together.The lesson taught by plants is that human life can only exist with nature.We must e to view the air，the plants and ourselves as the contributors to the protection of life and growth，rather than productive objects we can use and throw away freely.Perhaps then we would finally begin to live，rather than merely survive. 语篇解读本文主要讲了为了保护地球，我们应共同努力，和谐地与植物世界共享生活。

1．What does the underlined part “being at odds” mean?A．Relaxing. B．Exercising.C．Hurrying. D．Conflicting.答案 D解析词义猜测题。

根据第一段最后一句“It seems to be proved that if human beings can freely breathe and share air，there is no primary reason for them to struggle with one another.”可知，如果人们能自由地呼吸到新鲜空气，就没理由跟别人争斗，故选A。

3．What does the author try to draw our closest attention to?A．The massive burning of fossil fuels.B．Our relationship to the plant world.C．The capacity of plants to renew polluted air.D．Large-scale deforestation across the world.答案 B解析细节理解题。

根据第三段第四句“The interdependence to which we must pay the closest attention is what exists between ourselves and the plant world.”可知，作者最想让我们关注的是我们和植物世界的关系，故选B。

4．How can human beings achieve the goal of protecting the planet，according to the author?A．By showing respect for plants. B．By preserving all forms of life. C．By consuming all natural resources. D．By all making their efforts together.答案 D解析细节理解题。

5．What does the author suggest we do in order not to just survive，but live better? A．Expand the range of living.B．Develop nature’s potentials.C．Share life with nature.D．Explore new resources.答案 C解析细节理解题。

根据最后一段内容尤其是其第一句“Humans must learn to share life，both with each other and with plants.”可知，为了活得更好，我们应与自然分享生活。

B(xx·南开区二模)The temperature is sharply rising with each passing day.People，including many experts，find it difficult to slow down the process.However，leaving coal and major fossil fuels in the ground could help to limit climate change in the future，according to a new study.That is to say，a third of oil reserves on the earth，half of gas reserves and over 80 percent of current coal reserves should not be used before the year 2050.If we are to prevent global temperatures from rising above 2 degrees Celsius in the near future，we ought to carry out some measures to severely control the emissions from factories，vehicles and even our daily-life cooking.However，it is a goal that seems to be impossible in our eyes.“Policy makers in different countries must realize that their attempt to pletely use the fossil fuels within their countries is wholly inpatible(矛盾的) with their hope to reach the 2-degree goal，” Dr Christophe McGlade at University College London’s Energy Institute said in a statement.“If they go ahead with developing their own resources，” he added，“they must be asked which reserves elsewhere should remain unburned in order for the c arbon budget not to go beyond the limit.”It’s not surprising to see how tapping into these unused reserves would be attractive.Energy-related industry is a big business all over the world.There are many coal reserves in China，Russia and the United States，along with over 260 thousand million barrels of oil reserves in the Middle East.Not to mention that oil is currently being developed in the Arcticpanies spent over 670 billion last year in the expansion of fossil fuels，but according to the new model used in this latest study，developers may need to rethink their plans to develop these underground resources so as to make some contributions to control the world temperature from rising high in the future.“We’ve now got practical figures of the quantities and l ocations of fossil fuels that should remain unused in trying to keep within the 2-degree temperaturelimit，”added McGlade.World leaders and policy makers should take the advice to heart，because a recent IPCC report warned that if immediate and great actions are not taken soon，climate change will cause irreversible(不可逆转的) impacts on environments worldwide，leaving the world an unsafe place for us to live in.6．According to Paragraph 1，our goal is to .A．discover more fossil fuels for the future generationB．slow down the climate changeC．refuse to use reserves on the earthD．keep the temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius答案 D解析细节理解题。
