题目内容
9.Monty Hempel is a professor of environmental science at Redlands University in California.He studies ecological literacy-or ecoliteracy (生态素养) 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 World watch 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 that 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 (问题) are worse in the Arctic and most of us don't spend time in the Arctic.And so,there^a certain distance.But there's also a distance that's happening in the world as it urbanizes (城市化)-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,children should learn about nature in school,he adds.But he also points out there is a high mountain for people to climb from knowledge to action.
32.From what Monty Hempel says in Paragraph 3,we learn thatA.
A.ecoliteracy is more than a green form of science literacy.
B.people have learnt more knowledge about ecoliteracy.
C.ecoliteracy can greatly affect how nature works.
D.people with enough knowledge will better protect the environment.
33.In Mr.Hempel's opinion,which is the most important for environment protection?B
A.Knowledge.
B.Action.
C.Green living theory.
D.Psychological distance.
34.Mr.Hempel thinks people may show no concern about some environmental problems becauseD.
A.they lack knowledge on environment protection.
B.they are closely connected with the nature.
C.the problems are not serious at all.
D.the problems seem to be far away.
35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?C
A.It is the best way to learn about nature in school.
B.Climbing a high mountain is a good way to exercise.
C.It is easier to understand environment protection than to carry it out.
D.people should first collect waste in the mountains to protect the environment.
分析 本文是一篇议论文.文章主要讲述了有关环境保护的问题.虽然人们都有保护环境的知识,但是只有知识是不够的,保护环境更需要的是行动.
解答 32-35 ABDC
32.A.推理判断题.根据"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."可知生态素养不仅仅是一种绿色的科学素养.故选A.
33.B.细节理解题.根据"After all,actions speak louder than knowledge"可知Mr.Hempel的观点是行动比知识更重要.故选B.
34.D.细节理解题.根据"Some people call it psychological distance.A lot of climate issues (问题) are worse in the Arctic and most of us don't spend time in the Arctic.And so,there^a certain distance"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.故选D.
35.C.推理判断题.根据"But he also points out there is a high mountain for people 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.
点评 本文是一篇议论文.文章主要讲述了有关环境保护的问题.此类题型主要考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力.细节理解题是针对文中某个细节、某句话或某部分具体内容设置问题,所以在做细节理解题时要结合原文和提干有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析,再结合选项选出正确答案.在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要联系上下文根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.
