The study, published on Feb 11 in the journal Natural Sustainability, has found that since 2000 the Earth39。s green leaf area has increased by over 5 million square kilometers. That39。s an area equivalent to the total of the Amazon rainforests. China and India account for onethird of the greening, considering the general idea of land degradation (退化) in populous countries from overexploitation, said Chen Chi from Boston University, lead author of the study. The effect mainly es from ambitious treeplanting programs in China and intensive agriculture in both countries, NASA said in a statement. China is the source of a quarter of the planet39。s increase in forest area, despite having only percent of the world39。s vegetated (固定植被的)area, according to the study. Forest conservation and expansion programs account for 42 percent of the increase, and another 32 percent e from intensive agriculture of food crops, NASA said. While raising their green leaf areas, China and India have also greatly increased their food production through multiple cropping practices, where a field is replanted and crops are harvested several time each year. Production of grains, vegetable, fruits and more have increased by about 35 to 40 percent since 2000 to feed their large population, NASA said. Over the past decades, China has made great efforts to green the land. In 1978, the central government launched a nationallevel forestation projectthe Three North Shelterbelt Forest Program. By the end of 2017, the forest coverage rate among the regions in the project reached percent, pared to percent 40 years ago. In a greening project, Kubuqi Desert, seventh largest in the country, has seen onethird of its area covered by vegetation during the past three decades thanks to forestation efforts.(1)What have China and India contributed to according to NASA? A.Land greening.B.Land degradation.C.Population explosion.D.Forest conservation.(2)What can we learn about multiple cropping practices? A.They turn out to be ineffective.B.They improve the food output.C.They raise the vegetated area.D.They allow planning once annually.(3)What was the forest coverage rate in 1977? A.%.B.%.C.%.D.32%.(4)How is the passage mainly developed? A.By space.B.By listing facts.C.By parison.D.By making definition.【答案】 (1)A(2)B(3)A(4)C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新聞報(bào)道,介紹了美國航天局的一項(xiàng)最新研究顯示,中國和印度是全球綠化努力的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者。 (1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的China and India, the world39。s two most populous countries, are primarily responsible for making the Earth greener可知,美國宇航局的研究顯示中國和印度使地球變得更綠,也就是說中國和印度的主要貢獻(xiàn)在于土地綠化,故選A。 (2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的China and India have also greatly increased their food production through multiple cropping practices,可知,中國和印度通過復(fù)種提高了糧食產(chǎn)量,故選B。 (3)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的By the end of 2017, the forest coverage rate among the regions in the project reached percent, pared to percent 40 years ago.可知,截至2017年底,%%,%,故選A。 (4)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的That39。s an area equivalent to the total of the Amazon rainforests.,第三段中的China is the source of a quarter of the planet39。s increase in forest area, despite having only percent of the world39。s vegetated (固定植被的)area,及第四段中的By the end of 2017, the forest coverage rate among the regions in the project reached percent, pared to percent 40 years ago.等信息可知,文中多次用數(shù)據(jù)對過去和現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行對比來顯示中國和印度是全球綠化努力的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者的,因此文章是通過對比的手法展開的,故選C。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇新聞報(bào)道,考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息,并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理,從而選出正確答案。6.閱讀理解 How was your day today? If it was just sort of OK, with nothing much happening, then Scott Shaffer wants to hear from you. Mr Shaffer is the editor of the Journal of Mundane Behaviour. We can learn a lot about the way that society works by examining normal patterns of behavior, he says. All the ordinary decisions we make and ordinary things we do are society in action. The idea that social scientists should study the unmarked, in Mr Shaffer39。s words, has also spread to historians. Traditionally, most history has been written as the story of greatness. It is all about great ideas, great people and great economic and social forces changing the way that millions of people live for ever. Albert Einstein39。s theory of relativity changed the way that we look at the universe. But has he been of more benefit to humanity than the unknown person who invented the first really fortable shoe? Try thinking great thoughts when your feet hurt. In recent years, books of microhistory have been a great success with the public. Most micro historians like to relate their subject to wider developments in society. According to historian Catherine Gallagher, the potato was once a matter of great argument. Supporters pointed out that it could grow cheaply and easily and help feed the poor. Opponents said that this would lead to the poor being more powerful, since they did not have to spend every hour working to feed themselves. It seems that European socialism started with an argument about vegetables. British historian Colin Jones wants us to look at pictures painted hundreds of years ago. He wants us to notice the fact that nobody smiles in these pictures. Compare that with today, when everyone smiles for the camera
