高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

When she first started learning about the climate change from one of her elders, Fawn Sharp was invited on a helicopter flight over the the Olympic Mountains to survey the Mount Anderson glacier. But the glacier was gone, melted by the warming climate. Sharp had a deep sense of loss when she discovered the glacier wasn't there anymore.

Loss is a growing issue for people working and living on the front lines of climate change. And that gave Jennifer Wren Atkinson, a full-time lecturer at the university of Washionton Bothell, US, an idea for a class.

This term, she taught students on the Bothell campus about the emotional burdens of environmental studies. She used the experiences of Native American tribes(部落), scientists and activists, and asked her 24 students to face the reality that there is no easy fix--that “this is such an intractable problem that they're going to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives.”

Student Cody Dillon used to be a climate science skeptic(怀疑论者)， Then he did his own reading and research，and changed his mind.

Dillon wasn't going into environmental work- he was a computer-science major. Yet, the potential for a worldwide environmental catastrophe seemed so real to him five years ago that he quit his job and became a full-time volunteer for an environmental group that worked on restoration projects.

Six months into the work he decided that Atkinson’s class was just what he was looking for--a place where he could discuss his concerns about a changing climate.

Atkinson said she hopes the class helped her students prepare themselves for the amount of environmental loss that will happen over their lifetimes .

“We are already changing the planet--so many species are going to be lost, displaced or massively impacted, "she said, “The future isn't going to be what they imagined.”

1.Why did the author mention the case of Fawn Sharp?

A.To lay a basis for Fawn Sharp’s further research.

B.To prove Fawn Sharp's work is similar to Atkinson's.

C.To lead into the issue of loss caused by climate change.

D.To show scientists’ concern about the Mount Anderson glacier.

2.What's the main purpose of Atkinson’s class?

A.To explore how different people deal with climate change.

B.To get students more concemed about the environmental Issue.

C.To find solutions to the environmental issue of Olympic Mountains.

D.To teach students how to conduct research about environment.

3.Which of the following best explains "intractable" underlined in Paragraph Three?

A.Simple. B.Difficult.

C.Common. D.Interesting.

4.How did Atkinsons class influence Dillon?

A.It made him work as a part-time volunteer for restoration Projects.

B.It made him realize a planet-wide climate disaster would happen.

C.It encouraged him to be more involved in environmental protection.

D.It discouraged him from protecting the environment.

One Saturday afternoon in February, 1943, a farmer in Mexico stopped working for a moment and looked across his fields of corn. Suddenly he saw a thin line of white smoke curling up out of his field, about 200 feet from where he stood. As he went toward the smoke to see what it was, he heard a strange noise. The line of smoke became bigger. It looked as if some great force were pushing it up into the sky.

The farmer rushed home to get his wife. While he was urging his wife to hurry from the house, the earth shook violently. When he stood up after the earth stopped shaking, he looked across the field and saw that great flames were rising from his cornfield. A volcano was being born!

Particutin did not become dark that night. The volcano lighted up the sky for miles around. Flames rushed out of the ground. The volcano threw hot stones a thousand feet through the air. Great explosion shook the earth and heavy black ashes fell from the sky, covering the roofs in Mexico city, 180 miles away.

But that was not all. On the third evening a float of lava（火山岩）began to boil up from the centre of the volcano. It came over the edge in a heavy flow, 2,000 feet wide, and travelled slowly across the valley, bringing certain death to everything that could not move from its path.

高三英语阅读理解简单题查看答案及解析

One afternoon, after finishing shopping in a supermarket, my family and I went to the checkout. I suddenly thought we didn’t need any of the junk, and we abandoned all of those, saving $300.

That got me thinking about all our pointless expenses in life. With a promise that we’d stop if it was killing us, I convinced the family to take the leap into frugality(节俭). The rules were that we would buy nothing for 30 days except absolutely essentials.

Our adventure began with a great start. By 9 a.m., my wife, Ruth, had already made cakes from old strawberries and picked flowers I didn’t even know we had in the garden. I cleared the car by hand for the first time for years. I read and returned the neighbor’s newspaper before he woke up. Total spending on the first day: $0.

As days turned into weeks, we became so proficient(熟练的) at living frugally. We started riding our bikes to save gas. My child’s finger painting was recycled as gift wrap for the homemade presents. We started to use an Internet application like Skype for free phone calls and ask neighbors with gardens for extra vegetables and herbs.

In the end, we saved more than $2000 by not spending for a month. When we began, I imagined we would rush out the moment we were done and buy a lot of things in the supermarket, then maybe hit the mall or go to the movies.

1.We can infer from the passage that before that very afternoon, the family _________.

A. had had higher income

B. had had a good habit of saving money

C. had often spent money without thinking much

D. hadn’t realized they would have met financial problems

2.How many things were mentioned about the things the family did to save on the first day of the “30 days”?

A. Two.                B. Three.                C. Four.                D. Five.

3.The end of the story tells the readers that the family _________.

A. stopped halfway

B. couldn’t stand the life of frugality

C. would make up for missing the junk after the “30 days”

D. succeeded in saving in the end

4.This passage is mainly about _________.

A. how a family managed their daily life

B. a family’s no-buying try

C. a family’s way of solving life problems

D. how a new idea came up
