    Earlier this month, the Obama Administration called for increased protection of the world's most southern
    continent, Antarctica. Scientists say climate change and human activity have increasingly led to the melting of
    massive (大量的) pieces of Antarctic ice. The disappearance of ice will not only affect wildlife in the area such
    as seals and penguins. The melting will also cause oceans and seas around the world to rise.
    This represents a major threat, especially to coastal areas. For example, the ancient city of Venice, Italy has
    long been threatened by rising sea levels. The situation is made worse by the fact that its ancient buildings, built
    on a body of water called a lagoon (淡水湖), are slowly sinking. When the city was founded about 1,600 years
    ago, the level of the Adriatic Sea was almost two meters lower than it is today.
    Rising sea levels are not the only threat. The salty water is also destroying Venice's famous buildings and art
    works. The Italian government is trying to fix the problem with the construction of a seven-billion-dollar system
    of moving flood barriers.
    Climate change is also leading to the melting of ice in other areas, such as Mount Kilimanjaro in northeastern
    Tanzania. It is the highest point in Africa, measuring almost 6,000 meters. The mountain supports five vegetation
    zones and many kinds of animals.
    The ice glaciers on the mountain are disappearing very quickly. This will have a bad effect on the mountain's
    ecosystems (生态系统) and on Tanzania's travel industry. Also, a valuable record of thousands of years of weat
    her history will also be lost if the ice melts. Scientists study pieces of glacier to understand weather patterns
    from thousands of years ago.
    In the United States, the icy masses in Glacier National Park in Montana may soon completely disappear
    because of climate change. In 1850, there were an estimated 150 glaciers in the more than 400,000 hectare (公
    顷) park.
    There are 26 glaciers remaining today. Scientists estimate that the glaciers will be gone by 2030. Warming
    temperatures are also threatening many kinds of plants and animals that live in this mountain ecosystem.
    1. The writer developed the passage mainly by _____.
    A. giving examples
    B. listing reasons
    C. making comparisons
    D. using quotations
    2. How many glaciers disappeared since 1850 in Glacier National Park?
    A. 150.
    B. 26.
    C. 400,000.
    D. About 124.
    3. According to the passage, what has been affected in Italy by rising sea levels?
    A. Many kinds of plants and animals died out in Italy.
    B. Venice's famous buildings and artworks are being destroyed completely.
    C. The ice glaciers on the mountain are disappearing very quickly.
    D. Its ancient buildings could be drowned.
    4. What could be the best title for the passage?
    A. Climate Change
    B. The Melting of Massive Pieces of Antarctic Ice
    C. Visiting Endangered Places around the World
    D. The disappearing of the Ice Glaciers

  • 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。
