astic. It39。s a munity in Panama that is going to be made of used bottles. The design process begins with building steel frames, which are then filled with these bottles. Once this step is plete, and electrical and plumbing (管道裝置) lines are put inside, the plastic walls are covered by concrete—both inside and outside. So no one will actually be able to tell that the walls are made of plastic. Besides, the material will keep the house 17176。C cooler than the outside, which is the biggest benefit to people living inside. The village is the brainchild (主意) of Robert Bezeau with the intention of setting up several environmental projects. Having started a recycling program four years ago, during which a number of plastic bottles were collected, he started to think of how they could be put to use. Soon enough, he decided to use them to build houses, and came up with a basic idea for the construction process. The project hopes to make people conscious of the waste that these bottles create so that they can do more to protect the environment. The village will also create an education center that will teach individuals from the world how to reuse plastic bottles as construction materials for shelter. Recycled bottles could neutralize the negative effect of your passage on this planet, and move closer to leaving only your “footprints”. (1)What does Paragraph 1 intend to tell us? A.The reason for buying fewer drinks.B.The difficult situation of wildlife.C.The amount of plastic waste.D.The seriousness of plastic pollution.(2)What is the biggest benefit to people living in the Plastic Bottle Village? A.The house will be much cooler than normal ones.B.The material of construction will be reduced a lot.C.The newlymade house can save a lot of electricity.D.The waste of the house can be consumed by fish and birds.(3)Which of the following words can best describe Robert? A.Creative.B.Courageous.C.Enthusiastic.D.Sensitive.(4)The main purpose of Robert39。s projects is to A.provide shelter for localsB.reuse all deserted plastic bottlesC.popularize the use of plastic bottlesD.raise people39。s environmental awareness【答案】(1)D(2)A(3)A(4)D 【解析】【分析】考查環(huán)保類文章。一個(gè)人一生中會(huì)留下許多塑料瓶子,這些瓶子要花上百年才能分解成碎片,而且永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)完全消失,給地球留下太多的污染。于是Robert想出了用這此塑料瓶子建成房子,這種材料房子的室內(nèi)溫度相對(duì)涼爽,這對(duì)于環(huán)境來(lái)說(shuō)更加環(huán)保。(1)考查推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段內(nèi)容可知,一個(gè)人一生中會(huì)留下許多塑料瓶子,這些瓶子要花上百年才能分解成碎片,而且永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)完全消失。大部分的廢物被魚(yú)和鳥(niǎo)所消耗,大大縮短了它們的壽命。由此可推測(cè)出這些塑料瓶子對(duì)地球的污染有多嚴(yán)重。故答案選D。(2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解中的一一對(duì)應(yīng)型。答案與題目在表達(dá)形式和意義上直接吻合。根據(jù)第二段最后一句“the material will keep the house 17176。C cooler than the outside, which is the biggest benefit to people living inside.”可知,這種材料可以使房子的溫度比室外低17176。,這對(duì)居住在室內(nèi)的人來(lái)說(shuō)是最大的好處。故答案A。(3)考查推理判斷題。根據(jù)全文可知這地球上的塑料瓶子要花上百年才能分解成碎片,而且永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)完全消失,給地球留下太多的污染。于是Robert的項(xiàng)目就是用這些塑料瓶建成房子,這種材料房子的室內(nèi)溫度相對(duì)涼爽,不僅讓利用廢物,還環(huán)保了地球??烧f(shuō)是一個(gè)有創(chuàng)意性的項(xiàng)目,即Robert是一個(gè)有創(chuàng)造性的人。故答案選A。(4)考查推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的第一句“The project hopes to make people conscious of the waste that these bottles create so that they can do more to protect the environment. ”可知項(xiàng)目希望人們意識(shí)到這些瓶子造成的浪費(fèi),以便他們能做更多來(lái)保護(hù)環(huán)境,以此提高人們保護(hù)環(huán)境的意識(shí)。故答案選D?!军c(diǎn)評(píng)】細(xì)節(jié)判斷題——定位法。通過(guò)定位詞尋找出題點(diǎn)定位詞和主題句是英語(yǔ)閱讀理解解題方法的最重要的兩個(gè)要素,前者適用于解答細(xì)節(jié)理解題,后者用于解答主旨大意題。通過(guò)定位詞解題,就是說(shuō)我們?cè)陂喿x題干的時(shí)候迅速的把題干中有標(biāo)記意義的詞或詞組劃記出來(lái),然后用這個(gè)詞回到原文當(dāng)中定位。8.閱讀理解 When was the last time you told someone they inspire you to go to work each morning? Teachers at Oak Park High School in Kansas City, Missouri, did just that this September, when they pulled individual students out of class to tell them just how much they appreciated them. The students39。 reactions, which were captured (捕捉) on video and shared on YouTube in a nowviral video, ranged from shy thanks to hugs and tears. “I have been challenged to find a student who makes me want to e to school every day,” says one teacher in the video, “and that39。s you.” Jamie McSparin, a teacher in charge of the school39。s academy program for atrisk sophomores (二年級(jí)學(xué)生)and juniors, posed the challenge, writes ABC News. “Initially when we pulled the kids out, they all thought they were in trouble,” McSparin told ABC News. “Any teacherstudent interaction always seems to be negative (消極的), and that was something that bothered me, too. No matter if they39。re a good kid or a trouble maker or anything, they always thought they were in trouble,” she says. McSparin says she got the idea for the project after attending a professional development workshop this summer called the power of positivity. “I like the idea of letting students know they are appreciated, because we do appreciate them, I just don39。t think we say it enough,” she told local news outlet WDAFTV. It39。s safe to say the challenge was effective. “I feel special,” said one of the boys in the video. “You should,” said his teacher. “You are special.” (1)What does the underlined word “posed” in Paragraph 5 mean? A.Presented.B.Rejected.C.Ignored.D.Evaluated.(2)How did the students probably feel when pulled out of the classroom at first? A.Nervous.B.Thrilled.C.Curious.D.Encouraged.(3)What inspired McSparin to challenge the project? A.The trouble caused by students.
