ThestudyauthorssaidthatincludingtheglobalculturalValueoftheanimalswouldincreasethetotaleconomicvalueto$6.9billionperyearorabout27timesthecostofhabitatpreservation.”可知，目前保護大熊貓棲息地的成本約為2.55億美元，這項研究的作者說，包括大熊貓帶來的全球文化價值在內(nèi)，總經(jīng)濟價值將增加到每年69億美元，約為棲息地保護成本的27倍，也就是說保護大熊貓帶來的經(jīng)濟價值大約比保護成本多26倍，故A項正確?！?1題詳解】主旨大意題。通讀全文，特別是根據(jù)第一段“Savingthegiantpandafromextinctionisn'tjustgoodforthebearsit'sgoodforthebottomlinetoo,anewanalysisbyaninternationalteamofscientistshows.”及第二段中的“highlighttheeconomicbenefitsthattheysaygohandinhandwithenvironmentalconservation.”可知，本文主要介紹了研究發(fā)現(xiàn)拯救大熊貓免于滅絕不僅對大熊貓有好處，而且對經(jīng)濟效益也有好處，即：保護大熊貓在經(jīng)濟上是有益的，故C項正確?！军c睛】詞義猜測題的難度較大，對畫線詞上下文的理解是關(guān)鍵，因為其往往會對畫線詞的詞義起到解釋說明或暗示的作用，例如本篇第1題，根據(jù)第二段第一句“Theresults,publishedinthejournalCurrentBiology,highlighttheeconomicbenefitsthattheysaygohandinhandwithenvironmentalconservation.”可知，發(fā)表在《當(dāng)代生物學(xué)》雜志上的研究結(jié)果強調(diào)了與環(huán)境保護齊頭并進的經(jīng)濟效益，因此此處是說拯救大熊貓免于滅絕不僅對大熊貓有好處，而且對經(jīng)濟效益也有好處，由此可知，“bottomline”指的是“經(jīng)濟效益”。DFormanyyears,schoolchildrenintheUShavetakenon“fieldtrips”toculturalinstitutionssuchasmuseumsofart.Educatorsarrangetheminthebeliefthatschoolsexistnotonlytoteacheconomicallyusefulskills,butalsotoproducecivilizedyoungpeoplewhoappreciatetheartandculture.Whilethereareparentswhowilltaketheirchildrentoculturalplacesintheirfreetime,thereareplentyofotherchildrenwhowillneverhavethiskindofopportunityunlessschoolsofferit.Soyoucouldsaythattakingschoolstudentsonfieldtripsisameansofgivingeveryoneequalaccesstotheirculturalheritage.However,theattitudetowardsfieldtripsinrecentyearsischanging,withthenumberoftoursorganizedforschoolgroupsfallingsignificantlyinmuseumsallaroundthecountry.Themostobviousreasonistheissueoffinance.Becausethereareincreasingdemandsontheirfunds,afterall,putersandsportsfacilitiesaren’tcheap,schoolsareforcedtomakeadifficultchoiceabouthowtospendthelimitedmoneytheyhave.Facedwiththisdilemma,fieldtripsareanobviousthingtocutsincetheyareseenbymanyasaluxury.Additionally,thenatureofthesefielddaysisalsochanging.Schoolsincreasinglyusetripstoamusementparksorsportingeventsasatreatforstudentsratherthananopportunityforculturallearning.Thisshiftcouldhaveabasisingenerationaldifferencesbetweenteachers’reasonsfororganizingdaysoutofschool.Arecentsurveyconductedamong500Arkansasteachersshowedthatolderteachersweresignificantlymorelikelytotaketheprimarypurposeofafieldtripasalearningexperiencethanyoungerteachers,whoviewitasfun.Someevidenceshowsthetrendoffewertripsmayhaveanegativeeffectonchildren’sdevelopment.AresearchledbyJayGreeneatArkansasUniversityfoundthatstudentswhoreceivedatourofanartmuseumgreatlyimprovedtheirknowledgeofartandtheabilitytothinkcriticallyaboutart.Theyalsodisplaystrongerhistoricalinterestandweremorelikelytovisitculturalplacesinthefuture.Theresearcherswarnthatifschoolscutfieldtripsorswitchtolesseducationaldestinations,valuableopportunitiestobroadenandenrichchildren’slearningexperiencesarelost.12.Whatistheinitialpurposeoffieldtripstoculturalinstitutions?A.Toleachstudentsusefulskillsineconomics.B.Tomakeeverystudentexposedtoartandculture.C.Toeducatestudentstopreserveculturalheritage.D.Toencourageparentstotaketheirchildrenthere.13.Whichfactormostprobablyleadstothetrendoffewerfieldtrips?A.Thedropinschoolfunds.
