    Today, among people everywhere, there is an increasing awareness and worry about the steady growth in the world’s population.A recent survey conducted by the United Nations Fund for Population Activities (UNFPA) reported that this growth will continue until the end of the next century.For developing countries alone, the annual average population growth is, at present, 4.6% compared to 2.0% for developed countries.At this rate, the world’s population will reach 10.2 billion by the turn of the 21st century.With the growth in population is the problem of food security… the guarantee of a steady supply of food.The unstoppable growth in population justifies the Malthusian Doctrine that population of a region will continue to grow unless checked, and this is of course alarming since it will inevitably lead to food shortages of considerable proportions.
    Our forests are an abundant source of food and fuel, two items essential in sustaining life.Above 30% of the world’s land surface is covered by such forests.In Asia alone, more than two billion people depend heavily on forest products for their subsistence and survival.To maintain a reasonable balance between population growth and food supply, this natural source of life — sustaining food and fuel must be conserved and protected from its worst enemy — man himself.It is appalling (令人震惊的) to note that in many developing countries, which are themselves heavily hit by population-food imbalance, governments approve the cutting down of forests to meet their immediate needs for saleable timber, and also for agricultural land.Often the cutting down and burning of forests is conducted with total abandon owing to the absence of sound forestry techniques and management.At the rate tropical forests are now being cleared each year, the world’s tropical forests will be completely destroyed within the next 100 years.
    In order to maintain food security for the world’s population, the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has launched a campaign aimed at ensuring food supply, maximizing stability in the flow of this supply and ensuring access to it by all.Forestry, according to the FAO, plays a vital role in making it possible to fulfill all its three objectives.Its most important role is that of conserving soil and water.Trees provide natural protection against soil erosion (侵蚀) by absorbing the excess water brought by heavy rains.
    1.The first paragraph tells us that ____.
    A.the flow of food supply is the result of population increase.
    B.the world population has reached the 10-billion mark.
    C.the problem of population growth has caused considerable alarm in a few countries.
    D.the problem of food supply goes hand-in-hand with population increase.
    2.The Malthusian Doctrine presents ____ as far as world population is concerned.
    A.an optimistic view of the future     B.a pessimistic outlook for the future
    C.an encouraging picture          D.an indifferent picture
    3.In this context, “this natural source of life — sustaining food and fuel” (in Paragraph 2) refers to ____.
    A.the flow of food supply           B.forests
    C.woodland products               D.man’s worst enemy
    4.The three objectives of the FAO can be replaced by ____.
    A.stopping population growth       B.increasing food production
    C.achieving food security          D.ensuring maximum utilization of forests

  • 人生感悟类阅读

人生感悟类阅读的概念

生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪,使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文,如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事,有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。


生活感悟类阅读解题指导:

一、文章特点:

生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪,使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文,如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事,有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。有时故事的结尾会有一句“点睛之笔”,点出全文的中心思想,就像《伊索寓言》里的寓言一样。还可能是夹叙夹议的哲理散文或生活随笔。散文随笔通常会阐述一种朴素易懂,耳熟能详的人生道理或宝贵品质。文章的结构和议论文类似,一般是总分总或总分结构。每段首句或尾句为主题句(论点),其它句子围绕主题展开论述(论据),论证方法多种多样,或举例,或引用名言,或正反对照等。

二、解题技巧:

针对生活感悟类文章的特点,做这类文章的完形填空时,要特别注意以下几点:
1、重点理解全文的首句。如果是记叙文,找出when,where,who,what等基本要素。如果是散文随笔,充分理解文章的中心句—全文的主题。
2、阅读全文的结尾段或结尾句,有助于理解文章所阐述或蕴含的哲理、感悟或忠告等。
3、调动自己的背景知识和情感。这类文章不会讲大道理也不会涉及到一些很专业的知识技术领域,而是谈一些小事和简单的道理,所以如果读者能和作者产生感情上的共鸣,读者会更好地把握作者的意图态度,从而提高做题的准确度。因此,考生在平时要做一个有心人,即用心去感悟生活中发生的小事,思考人生的一些基本道理,多阅读一些短小精悍的美文,多写写自己的心情故事和对生活学习的感悟。只有平时多用心,做题时才能调动自己的背景知识和情感。
