In the year 2500, we are able to travel through time to any year in the history of the earth. This year is your last chance to change your lifestyle to save the earth. Beginning in the middle of the 20th century, a few people were worried about polluting the earth39。s water and air, but most people did not change their way of life. Instead, they continued to pour（倒） dangerous chemicals and other waste into lakes and seas, to drive more and more cars and trucks, and to cut down trees. By the year 2200, the earth39。s water was pletely polluted. Scientists said that in the future there might be too many people on the earth. People could no longer drink water, and they had to use other types of liquids（液體）. So, by the year 2300, there were so many people that food became scarce. There was no water to grow food and all of the fish in the lakes and seas died because of pollution Terrier wars（戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)） broke out between the rich and the poor. Scientists were working very hard to find another planet in space where humans could live on. By the year 2400, the air was too polluted for humans to breathe. So we had to leave earth but only the rich were able to leave. Where did we go? Nowhere. And everywhere. You see scientists did not find another safe planet, so now we must travel around the universe in our space ships. We are still looking for a place to call our home. So, it is up to you to change history. There is still hope. You must change your lifestyle now, before it is too late.（1）Which problem is not talked about in Paragraph 2?A.Water.B.Air.C.Lifestyle.D.Food（2）What39。s the meaning of 39。scarce39。 in Paragraph 4 in Chinese?A.昂貴的B.充足的C.缺乏的D.特殊的（3）Which of the following is TRUE?A.Only a few people changed their lifestyle in the 20th century.B.There wasn39。t enough water for people to drink by the year 2200.C.All the animals died because of pollution by the year 2300.D.We found a new home in another planet by the year 2400.【答案】 （1）D（2）C（3）D 【解析】【分析】這篇短文主要以擬人的手法講述了環(huán)境污染的嚴(yán)重事實(shí)，作者通過(guò)時(shí)間隧道從2500年穿越回到了20到25世紀(jì)的不同時(shí)代，并描述了各個(gè)不同時(shí)代的污染的嚴(yán)重性，提醒人類保護(hù)環(huán)境，愛護(hù)人類自己。（1）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段a few people were worried about polluting the earth39。s water and air, but most people did not change their way of ，本段主要涉及到了空氣質(zhì)量、水資源和人類的生活方式，唯獨(dú)沒有提到食物方面的問(wèn)題，故選D。（2）詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)本句內(nèi)容So by the year 2300, there were so many people that food became scarce. 可知，本句中包含一短語(yǔ)so...that...，意為截止到2300年，地球上的人類是如此之多以致于食物變得太少。再加上下一句There was no water to grow food，可知食物應(yīng)該是不夠人類吃的，故選C。（3）推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文第二段but most people did not change their way of ，A選項(xiàng)表述正確；第三段By the year 2200, the earth39。s water was pletely polluted. People could no longer drink water,可知，B項(xiàng)的描述也是正確的；第四段all of the fish in lakes and seas died because of pollution. 可知C項(xiàng)內(nèi)容正確；倒數(shù)第二段內(nèi)容說(shuō)到了2400年，只有富人才有機(jī)會(huì)離開不適宜人類生存的地球，但是也沒有可以適宜人類其他星球供人類居住，可知D項(xiàng)內(nèi) 容不正確；故選D。【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本文是科普環(huán)保類短語(yǔ)閱讀。閱讀能力是中學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)應(yīng)具備的一種基本能力。學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)的一個(gè)重要目的在于獲取信息。通過(guò)閱讀這一重要手段，我們可以大量地獲取知識(shí)，拓展知識(shí)面，還可以增強(qiáng)語(yǔ)感，培養(yǎng)敏捷的思維能力。12．閱讀理解 Here are some English study skills for students.★L(fēng)istening Listening is a great way to improve your pronunciation（31）and intonation（語(yǔ)調(diào)）.
