高一英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Over the last two decades (十年), the Earth has seen an increase in vegetation (植被) and China and India are leading the increase in greening on land. The result comes mostly from tree planting programs in China and intensive agriculture(集约农业) in both countries.

Researchers from Boston University found that global green area has increased by 5% since the early 2000s, an area equal to the size of Amazon rainforest. Among the increased area, China and India contribute to about 33%, especially China, with 25% itself. China’s great contribution came mostly from its programs to protect and expand forests, which is about 42%. These programs were developed in an effort to reduce the effect of desertification, air pollution and climate change.

Another 32% of the greening change in China, and 82% in India, resulted from intensive agriculture of food crops. The land area used to grow crops in China and India has not changed much since the early 2000s. Yet both countries have greatly increased the total green area and food production in order to feed large populations. The lead author Chi Chen of Boston University said,

“That is a surprising finding, since it is generally believed that land degradation(退化) in populous countries is usually more serious.”

Rama Nemani, a research scientist at NASA’s Ames Research Center, saw a positive message in the new findings. “Once people realize there is a problem, they tend to fix it,” However, the researchers rang bells as well. They pointed out that the gain did not necessarily fill up the loss of natural vegetation in tropical regions like Brazil and Indonesia.

1.What’s the first paragraph mainly about?

A.The earth is becoming a green land.

B.China and India are forest countries.

C.China and India matter in greening the Earth.

D.China and India develop intensive agriculture well.

2.Why is Amazon rainforest mentioned in Paragraph 2?

A.To show its importance to the planet.

B.To call on people to protect rainforests.

C.To clearly show the increased green area.

D.To be evidence of the lost natural vegetation.

3.What benefits can China’s tree planting programs bring?

① Reducing air pollution.　　

② Increasing rich land for crops.

③ Helping with climate control.　　

④ Controlling the desertification.

A.①②③ B.①③④

C.①②④ D.②③④

4.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.Brazil and Indonesia do not protect their forests.

B.The findings discouraged belief of a green world.

C.Humans are creative enough to solve all problems.

D.More efforts are needed to protect natural vegetation.

5.Where does the text probably come from?

A.A newspaper. B.A travel brochure.

C.An interview. D.A geography textbook.

Societies all over the world name places in similar ways. Quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it happens that a place has two names: One is named by the people and the other by the government. As in many areas, old habits died hard, and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.

Many roads and places in Singapore are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with traditions in many countries —in both the West and the East.

Another way of naming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after. The mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circus —obviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel.

Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road is an interesting example, “Base Basah” means “wet rice” in Malay（马来语）. Now why would anyone want to name a road “Wet Rice Road”? The reason is simple. During the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this road.

A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There is “Circular Road” for one. Other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes, like “Paya Lebar Crescent”. This road is called a crescent（月牙） because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.

1.What does the underlined phrase “die hard” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A．Change suddenly.

B．Change significantly.

C．Disappear mysteriously.

D．Disappear very slowly.

2.Which of the following places is named after a person?

A．Raffles Place.                          B．Selector Airbase.

C．Piccadilly Circus.                        D．Paya Lebar Crescent.

3.What can be inferred from the passage?

A．Some place names in Singapore are the same as in Britain.

B．Some places in Singapore are named for military purposes.

C．The way Singaporeans name their places is unique.

D．Young Singaporeans have forgotten the pioneers.
