13、好地吸引顧客。因此可以推斷出C項?！鹃喿x理解】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。Skeptics are a strange lot.Some of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the enviroment, and they are tired of people who disagree with them.Those people，say skeptics，spread nothing but bad news about the environment.

14、The “ecoguilt”brought on by the discouraging news about our planet gives rise to the popularity of skeptics as people search for more comforting worldviews.Perhaps that explains why a new book by Bjorn Lomborg received so much publicity.That book ，The Skeptical Environmentalist, declares that it mea

15、sures the “real state of the world”as fine. Of course ，another explanation is the deep pockets of some big businesses with special interests. Indeed, Mr. Lomborgs views are similar to those of some industryfunded organizations, which start huge activities through the media to confuse the public abou

16、t issues like global warming.So it was strange to see Mr. Lomborgs book go largely unchallenged in the media though his beliefs were contrary to most scientific opinions. One national newspaper in Canada ran a number of articles and reviews full of words of praise, even with the conclusion that “Aft

17、er Lomborg, the environmental movement will begin to die down.”Such onesided views should have immediately been challenged. But only a different review appeared in Nature, a respected science magazine with specific readership. The review remarked that Mr. Lomborgs “preference for unexamined material

18、s is incredible(不可信的)”A critical (批判的)eye is valuable, and the media should present information in such a way that could allow people to make informed decisions. Unfortunately, that is often inaccessible as blocked by the desire to be shocking or to defend some special interests. People might become

19、 halfblind before a world partially exhibited by the media. Thats a shame, because matters concerning the health of the planet are far too important to be treated lightly.本文講述了懷疑論者不承認人類活動對環(huán)境造成的危脅，認為地球狀況是良好的，這迎合了一些追求利益的商業(yè)公司。但是關系地球健康的問題是相當重要的，人們一定要嚴肅對待。1. According to the passage, which of the followi

20、ng may be regarded as “skeptics”？A. People who agree on the popularity of “ecoguilt”B. People who disbelieve the serious situation of our planet.C. People who dislike the harmful effect of human activities.D. People who spread comforting news to protect our environment.答案：B。細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段可知，懷疑論者不承認人類

21、活動對環(huán)境的影響。短文第二段第二句話中提到，他們認為世界的真正狀態(tài)是好的，由此可知B項正確。2. Which of the following can be a reason for the popularity of Lomborgs book?ASome big businesses intend to protect their own interests. BThe book challenges views about the fine state of the world.CThe author convinces people to seek comforting worldvi

22、ews.DIndustryfunded media present confusing information.答案：A。細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段最后一句話可知Lomborg的觀點與一些由工業(yè)資助的組織的觀點是相似的。因此可知這些大的組織為了自己的利益也不會注重環(huán)保。3. The author mentioned the review in Nature in order to _.A. voice a different opinionB. find fault with Lomborgs book C. challenge the authority of the mediaD. poi

23、nt out the value of scientific views答案：A。推理判斷題。第三段提到加拿大的一家報紙對Lomborg的書大加贊揚，第四段又提到這片面的觀點應當受到挑戰(zhàn)，然后說“Nature”雜志上就有不同的評論。由此可知A項正確。4. What is the authors main purpose in writing the passage?A. To encourage the skeptics to have a critical eye.B. To warn the public of the danger of halfblindness with review

24、s.C. To blame the medias lack of responsibility in presenting information.D. To show the importance of presenting overall information by the media.答案：D。作者意圖題。由短文最后一段第二句話可知，媒體應當提供全方位的信息，讓人們在了解情況的前提下做出決定。由此可知D項正確。閱讀理解。閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。Columbus College , 241 Queen Elizabeth Drive ,Kow
