    Modern man has cleared the forests for farmland and for wood, and has also carelessly burned them. More than that, though, he has also interfered (干涉) with the invisible bonds between the living things in
    }the forests. There are many examples of this kind of destruction. The harmfulness of man's interference
    can be seen in what happened many years ago in the forest of the Kaibab plateau (凯亚巴布高原) of
    northern Arizona. Man tried to improve on the natural web of forest life and destroyed it instead.
    The Kaibab had a storybook forest of large sized pine, Douglas fir, white fir, blue andEngelmann
    spruce
    . In 1882 a visitor noted, "We, who ... have wandered through its forests and parks, have come
    to regard it as the most enchanting region it has ever been our privilege (特权) to visit."This was also the
    living place of the Rocky Mountain mule deer. Indians hunted there every autumn to gather meat and skins. The forest also had mountain lions, timber wolves and bobcats that kept the deer from multiplying too
    rapidly.
    Then, in 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt made the Kaibab a national game preserve. Deer hunting was forbidden. Government hunters started killing off the deer's enemies. In 25years' time, 6,250 mountain lions, wolves and bobcats were killed. Before the program, there were about 4,000 deer in the Kaibab, by 1924, there were about 100,000.
    The deer ate every leaf and twig they could reach. But there was not nearly enough food. Hunting of
    deer was permitted again. This caused a slight decrease in the deer herd (鹿群),but a far greater loss
    resulted from starvation (饥饿) and disease. Some 60 percent of the deer herd died in two winters. By
    1930 the herd had dropped to 20,000 animals. By 1942 it was down to 8,000.
    1. The destruction of the environment of the Kaibab resulted from        .
    A. turning the forest into cultivated land
    B. interfering with natural cycle of forest life
    C. forest fires caused by man's carelessness
    D. cutting the trees for building materials
    2."Engelmann spruce"(Para. 2) is most likely the name of       .
    A.a tree
    B.an animal
    C.a mountain
    D.a game
    3. The number of the deer in the Kaibab had increased enormously in       years' time.
    A.25
    B.6
    C.18
    D.12
    4. Years later, large numbers of deer in the Kaibab died mainly because of        .
    A.the cold
    B.the organized kill
    C.the shortage of food
    D.the poor management

  • 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。
