參考答案UNIT3單元提能強(qiáng)化練Ⅰ.【語(yǔ)篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章主要介紹了一種環(huán)保的包裝物品的方式,能夠盡量減少環(huán)境污染。1.C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中“Itshouldbeoneofthemaingoals...andcontinueusingplastic,it’sactuallytheopposite.”可知,回收利用并沒有解決塑料消費(fèi)這一問題。故選C項(xiàng)。2.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“Ijustenteredtogetafewitemswhilewewerewaitingtosignsomecontractswithourlawyer,whowasdelayed.”可知,作者正等著和律師簽訂合同,律師遲到了,所以作者進(jìn)來(lái)商場(chǎng)是想買點(diǎn)東西。故選A項(xiàng)。3.D詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)最后一段中“Ifeveryoneoptsforthebananaleafpackaging,theywillprobablystopstockingtheitemsinplastic.”可知,句中bananaleafpackaging表示“香蕉葉包裝”,這是代替塑料包裝的一種選擇?？赏茰y(cè)畫線短語(yǔ)optsfor表示“選擇”,與chooses同義。故選D項(xiàng)。4.D標(biāo)題判斷題。通讀全文,文章提到了一種環(huán)保的包裝物品的方式,這是一種選擇,能夠盡量減少環(huán)境污染,所以D項(xiàng)可以作為文章標(biāo)題。故選D項(xiàng)?！菊Z(yǔ)篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。在菲律賓新發(fā)現(xiàn)的一種蜥蜴讓科學(xué)家們認(rèn)為在這個(gè)國(guó)家的島嶼上可能還有其他從未見過(guò)的生物,但因?yàn)閸u上的雨林正處于危險(xiǎn)之中,一些生物可能永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)被發(fā)現(xiàn)。5.B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中“Butscientistssaythosecreaturesmightneverbefoundbecausetheislands’rainforestsareindanger.”可知,科學(xué)家們認(rèn)為因?yàn)閸u上的熱帶雨林正處于危險(xiǎn)之中,一些生物可能永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)被發(fā)現(xiàn)。所以科學(xué)家們對(duì)在菲律賓雨林中發(fā)現(xiàn)更多新生物持懷疑態(tài)度。故選B項(xiàng)。6.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“Thelatestlizardwasfirstspottedin2001whenscientistssawlocalpeopleoftheislandcatchitforfood.”可知,科學(xué)家們看到島上的當(dāng)?shù)厝税堰@種新蜥蜴當(dāng)作食物時(shí)才發(fā)現(xiàn)了它。故選D項(xiàng)。7.C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中“Allofthoselizardsaremeateaters...helpeditremainhiddenfromscientists’viewformanyyears.”可知,這種新蜥蜴不同于其他種類的蜥蜴,它吃水果,多數(shù)時(shí)間可以一直待在樹上。故選C項(xiàng)。8.A詞義猜測(cè)題。上文提到“Butthosespecieswillnotbefound...35percentofthePhilippines’land.”,本句中的But使句意轉(zhuǎn)折,buildingonit和強(qiáng)調(diào)現(xiàn)在森林覆蓋不到全國(guó)土地的25%,說(shuō)明是人類侵占了土地,破壞了雨林。encroachingon與Invading同義。故選A項(xiàng)。Ⅱ.【語(yǔ)篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。作者發(fā)現(xiàn)公園里有很多的垃圾,只靠他自己的力量去撿垃圾是改變不了現(xiàn)狀的。所以作者就組織了一些志愿者加入進(jìn)來(lái),進(jìn)行垃圾清理活動(dòng)。1.B根據(jù)下文“rockof3,300feetstraightup”可知,這塊石頭是巨大的。故選B項(xiàng)。2.A根據(jù)開頭第一句話“IfellinlovewithYosemiteNationalParkthefirsttimeIsawit.”可知,作者在第一次去約塞米蒂國(guó)家公園的時(shí)候就喜歡上了這個(gè)地方,和這句話“ItouchedthatgiantrockandknewIwantedtoclimbit.”的上下文意思的連貫,摸著石頭的當(dāng)時(shí)即刻就有了想要爬上去的想法,也表達(dá)了作者喜歡這個(gè)公園的情感。故選A項(xiàng)。

3.D根據(jù)上一句“Iwantedtoclimbit”可知,作者想要爬上大石頭。故選D項(xiàng)。4.B根據(jù)下一段最后“suchabeautifulhomelikeplace”可知,作者把這里當(dāng)成是自己的家。故選B項(xiàng)。5.C根據(jù)下文“l(fā)ikebeercans,emptyboxes”可知,這些東西在公園里是被丟掉的廢棄物。故選C項(xiàng)。6.C根據(jù)上文“About15yearsagoIstartedseeingalotof,likebeercans,emptyboxes,aroundthearea.”可知,作者發(fā)現(xiàn)了公園里的垃圾,證明游客的行為不尊重公園。故選C項(xiàng)。

7.B根據(jù)上一段可知,游客們?cè)诠珗@里扔垃圾,作者為了保護(hù)公園的環(huán)境,就自己去撿垃圾。故選B項(xiàng)。8.D根據(jù)上一句話“Itriedtrashmyself,butthejobwastoobig.”可知,作者自己去撿
