题目内容
9.Monty Hempel is a professor of environmental sciences at Redlands University in California.He studies ecological literacy-or ecoliteracy,for short.Ecoliteracy is the ability to think about and understand the natural processes that make life possible.Monty Hempel says ecoliteracy gives people knowledge about environmental problems.But he says it does not always work to get them to change their behavior.
Mr.Hempel wrote part of the Worldwatch Institute's latest State of the World report.He says in his article,"Some people think that ecoliteracy is just a green form of science literacy.And what I have tried to ask is whether that's enough.In other words,what an ecologically-literate person needs to know might include things like the cycles and the flows,the energy systems,all of those kind of things that we would call the science of ecology."
"That doesn't seem to lead to action to protect our environment-to protect our life-support system to the level that we need to.Just because we know a lot about the environment doesn't mean that we actually act to save it.After all,actions speak louder than knowledge."
He adds that people may not be very worried about environmental problems if they seem far away."Some people call it psychological distance.A lot of climate issues are worse in the Arctic and most of us don't spend time in the Arctic.And so,there's a certain distance.But there's also a distance that's happening in the world as it urbanizes-people spending more time in front of screens and less time out in nature.We become,if you will,disconnected from the natural systems that used to be the key to success for a human being."
To help children discover the wonders of nature,he adds that children should learn about nature in school.But he also points out we have a high mountain for people to climb from knowledge to action.

分析 本文是一篇议论文.虽然人们都有保护环境的知识,伹只有知识是不够的,保护环境更需要的是行动.
解答 32.A推理判断题.根据第三段中Monty Hempel说的话,Some people think that ecoliteracy is just a green form of science literacy.And what I have tried to ask is whether that's enough.In other words,what an ecologically-literate person needs to know might include things like the cycles and the flows,the energy systems,all of those kind of things that we would call the science of ecology.有的人认为生态素养仅仅是一种自然文化的一种形式,我就像问问那种表述就够了么.换句话说,关于自然生态系统、环境保护方面的知识其实是大大的不够的,结合选项,可知答案为A.
33.B 细节理解题.根据第四段最后一句'"After all,actions speak louder than knowledge.,"可知,Mr Hempel的观点是行动比知识更重要,故答案为B.
35.D 细节理解题.根据文中的."Some people call it psychological distance.A lot of climate issues are worse in the Arctic and most of us don't spend time in the Arctic.And so,there's a certain distance.由此可知,一些生态环境问题离我们比较远,因此人们表现出极少的关注,可知答案为D.
35.C 推理判断题.根据最后一段最后一句"But he also points out we have a high mountain to climb from knowledge to action.,可知要改变人们对环境保护的态度是很难的.故选C
