They wanted to find out if global warming was dangerous for plants and animals. The scientists were surprised by what they found. They saw that during the next 50 years about 25% of land animals and plants will disappear from the earth. More than 1 million plants and animal species will die out by 2050.The head of the research team, Christ Thomas, who is a professor of conservation biology at Leeds University, said the results of their research were frightening. More than 10% of all plants and animals will disappear from the earth. It is too late to save many plants and animals because of the greenhouse gases that are already in the atmosphere. But the scientists say if we control greenhouse gases now, we can save many more plants and animals from disappearing.The scientists studied some areas of the world with very rich biology. These areas were Europe, Australia, Central and South America, and South Africa. Their studies showed that species living in mountainous areas had a better chance of survival because they could move uphill to get cooler. In flat areas, such as deserts, plants and animals would have to move very long distances to get cooler, so they are in great danger of dying out. The scientists found many surprising things. For example, they found that half of the 24 species of butterfly they studied in Australia would soon disappear.语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过一组科学家所作的报告推测在不久的将来，温室气体量的增加对动植物物种有毁灭性的影响。由于全球变暖，动植物的生存空间也在发生改变，其数量和种类也在不断减少。作者试图通过分析现状唤起人们对环境保护的意识。1According to this passage, global warming can be best described as _ to many plants and animals.AdeadlyBsurprisingCdisappointing Dfrightening解析：选A推理判断题。根据文章大意可知，全球变暖带来的是动植物物种的不断减少，这种影响对动植物来说是致命的。2Whats the purpose of the research led by Christ Thomas?ATo protect animals and plants from global warming.BTo call on people to control greenhouse gases.CTo warn us of the dying out of many animals and plants.DTo study the effect of global warming on animals and plants.解析：选D细节理解题。由文章第一段第二句可知这项研究的目的。3What can be the best title of this passage?AGreenhouse effect and global warmingBExtinct animals in the worldCA frightening discovery concerning global warmingDDisappearance of butterflies解析：选C标题归纳题。纵观整篇文章可知，作者向人们展示了温室气体对动植物物种的灭绝性危害。4We can learn from the passage that _.Aabout 25% of land animals and plants have disappeared from the earthBin about four decades more than 1 million plants and animal species will die outCwe can do nothing to save the plants and animalsDwildlife in flat areas cant find enough food解析：选B细节理解题。通过第一段可知，在未来的50年里，将有大约25%的陆地动植物灭绝，A项时态有误；B项表述正确，in about four decades即大约40年后，即2050年左右；C项错在we can do nothing上；D项文章并未提及。加餐练(二)第卷规范增分练.语法填空The question of _1_ invented the computer cannot be answered with a single name. Throughout history, many different people have helped in the development of this _2_ (value) machine. And many date the first important _3_ (invent) to the fourth century BC when the abacus was developed.It could be said that the first computer _4_ could store programs was the 1949 Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator. It _5_ (create) by Maurice Wilkes. From this point forward, many developers helped to make various types of computer.In the early 1970s, many skilled inventors _6_ (include) Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Steve Wozniak did much to develop personal computers in the form of PCs and Apples. By the 1990s, ownership of PCs became common as production (生产) grew _7_ (expensive) than before. Also, with the development of technology, the size of these machines became smaller so that they could _8_ (easy) be used in homes.There is no doubt _9_ there are so many thinkers and inventors who helped to develop the computer. There are even legal battles (斗争) over who should be considered as the primary inventors. As _10_ matter of fact, it is their joint (共同的) efforts that led to the development of this most useful machine.语篇解读：本文主要介绍了电脑的发展过程。1who设空处引导宾语从句，且在从句中作主语，又由句意“谁发明了计算机”可知，故填who。2valuable设空处作定语，修饰machine，故填形容词valuable。3invention设空处作宾语且前面有the first important修饰，故填invention(发明)。4that设空处引导限制性定语从句修饰先行词computer，且computer被序数词first修饰，同时设空处在从句中作主语，故填that。5was created“It”指代Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator与create之间是被动关系，且create表示的动作发生在过去，故填was created。6includingBill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Steve Wozniak与inventors之间是所属关系，故填including(包括在内)。7less expensive由than可知，设空处应用比较级，且由句意“随着制造变得没以前费用大，拥有计算机也变得普遍了”可知，在此应填less expensive。8easily设空处修饰谓语，故填副词easily。9thatThere is no doubt that .意为“毫无疑问”。10aas a matter of fact意为“事实上”。.短文改错Today we had the honor of invite Professor Hudson, a foreign teacher from Beijing University, to give us an English lesson.
