    Edward Wilson is America's, if not the world's, leading naturalist. In The Future of Life, he takes us
    on a tour of the world's natural resources (资源). How are they used? What has been lost? What
    remains and is it able to continue with the present speed of use? Wilson also points out the need to
    understand fully the biodiversity (生物多样性) of our earth.
    Wilson begins with an open letter to the pioneer in environment (环境) protection, Henry David
    Thoreau. He compares today's Walden Pond with that of Thoreau's day. Wilson will use such
    comparisons for the rest of the book. The problem is clear: man has done great damage to his home
    over the years. Can the earth, with human help, be made to return to biodiversity levels that will be able
    to support us in the future?
    Biodiversity, Wilson argues, is the key to settling many problems the earth faces today. Even our
    agricultural crops can gain advantages from it. A mere hundred species (物种) are the basis of our food
    supply, of which but twenty carry the load. Wilson suggests changing this situation by looking into ten
    thousand species that could be made use of, which will be a way to reduce the clearing of the natural
    homes of plants and animals to enlarge farming areas.
    At the end of the book, Wilson discusses the importance of human values in considering the
    environment. If you are to continue to live on the earth, you may well read and act on the ideas in this book.
    1.We learn from the text that Wilson cares most about ______.
    A. the environment for plants
    B. the biodiversity of our earth
    C. the waste of natural resources
    D. the importance of human values
    2. How many species are most important to our present food supply?
    A. Twenty.
    B. Eighty.
    C. One hundred.
    D. Ten thousand.
    3.Wilson suggests that one way to keep biodiversity is to ______.
    A. learn how to farm scientifically
    B. build homes for some dying species
    C. make it clear what to eat
    D. use more species for food
    4. We can infer that the text is ________.
    A. a description of natural resources
    B. a research report
    C. a book review
    D. an introduction to a scientist

  • 健康环保类阅读

健康环保累阅读概念:

健康环保类文章常是介绍科学知识、生活常识和环境保护方面的短文。体裁有记叙文、 说明文、议论文和各种应用文。


健康环保类文章阅读技巧:

       健康环保类文章常是介绍科学知识、生活常识和环境保护方面的短文。阅读此类短文要以现象或事物为中心进行思考,理解现象产生的原因、条件和客观规律等。同时要抓住事物的特征、用途和相互关系等。科普环保类文章一般为说明文,从结构上看大致可分为三个部分:
       第一部分一般是文章的首段,主要用来提出文章的主题,即文章想要阐述、说明的主要内容;
       第二部分是文章的主体,可由若干个段落组成,对文章的主题进行展开说明;
       第三部分是结尾段,对文章的主题进行归纳总结。这类文章多用一般现在时,而且一般多使用客观性词语表述。有时为了强调客观性,也常使用被动语态。
       从近几年的考试题来看,科普环保类的文章越来越与人们的实际生活相接近。由于此类文章缺乏故事情节,很多同学对此类文章感到费解。但一般的科普类文章都是就事论事,需要逻辑推理和想象的时候较少,因此此类阅读题也没有同学们想象中的那么难,只要多加训练,就能较好地答题。
【阅读策略】
1、概要(Summarizing):
      阅完材料后,将所阅材料浓缩,摘要,做出所阅材料的书面或口头梗概。
2、组织(Organization):
      阅读后根据阅读内容,识别观点、人物、事件之间的关系以及文章的结构关系。如:时间关系、比较或对比关系、相关关系及因果关系等。
