t worry. I am a bit scared too, but it doesn39。 And what if what they say is true? wondered the young Naru.t dare to. They thought that the pole could break or it would not be long enough. They put so much energy into these thoughts that they gave in. The Mokoko tribe (部落) lived on the wrong side of the island of two faces. The two sides, separated by a great cliff (懸崖), were like night and day. The good side was watered by rivers and was filled with trees and abundant food, while on the wrong side there was hardly any water or plants, and wild beasts crowded together. The Mokoko had the misfortune of having always lived there, with no way to cross to the other side. Their life was hard and they lived in permanent terror of the beasts.【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解,詞義猜測(cè)和推理判斷三個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇科普類(lèi)閱讀,考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息,并根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進(jìn)行分析,推理,從而選出正確答案。由此可以推知,地下水幫助這些樹(shù)存活下來(lái)。(4)考查推理判斷。結(jié)合這兩點(diǎn)可以推知,面對(duì)人工制造出來(lái)的熱浪,光合作用應(yīng)該是大大減少,但這并沒(méi)有影響樹(shù)木的蒸發(fā)。根據(jù)第二段中的“But exceptionally high temperatures are known to greatly reduce photosynthesis”可知,極度的高溫會(huì)減少光合作用??芍芯空邆?yōu)檫@些樹(shù)創(chuàng)造了一個(gè)氣候受控制的生長(zhǎng)環(huán)境,故選C。(2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“But at least one species of eucalyptus tree can resist extreme heat by continuing to 39。Groundwater helps the trees survive the extreme heat.【答案】(1)A(2)C(3)D(4)D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文,聯(lián)合國(guó)環(huán)境科學(xué)與林業(yè)學(xué)院的生態(tài)學(xué)家John Drake和他的同事們通過(guò)對(duì)紅桉樹(shù)做實(shí)驗(yàn),得出結(jié)論:在極度的高溫中,紅桉樹(shù)仍然可以通過(guò)釋放水分來(lái)抵抗熱浪,獲得生存。Other species will be transplanted to North America.B.ceased(4)What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?

Drake hopes to conduct similar experiments with trees mon in North America.(1)How does one species of eucalyptus tree cope with extreme heat waves? A. The researchers think the Parramatta red gums were able to effectively sweat — even without photosynthesis — because they are particularly good at tapping into water deep in the soil. But if a heat wave and a severe drought (干旱) were to hit at the same time and the groundwater was exhausted, the trees may not be so lucky, Drake says. Photosynthesis ground to a near halt in the trees facing the artificial heat wave. But to the researchers39。 conditions in their natural environment, little is known about how individual species handle this situation. Recent summer temperatures in parts of Australia were high enough to melt asphalt. As global warming speeds up the heat and climatic events increase, many plants may be unable to cope. But at least one species of eucalyptus tree can resist extreme heat by continuing to “sweat” when other essential processes stop, a new study finds.【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解題型的考查,是一篇生活類(lèi)閱讀,要求考生準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息,結(jié)合題目要求,選出正確答案。根據(jù)“FIRST TWO YEARS Amana will repair or replace any faulty part free of charge.”可知,一個(gè)有缺陷的櫥柜在第二年就可以被替換掉。故選B。根據(jù)“Owner39。故選A。(1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。D.A product damaged in a natural disaster is covered by the warranty.C.Consequential damages are excluded across America.a mechanic39。the loss of the sales receipta servicer39。the product installations Responsibilities, an owner has to pay for D.rented for home useC..
