河北省唐山市丰润区2016高考英语阅读理解好信息匹配暑假自练（7）【阅读理解】skeptics are a strange lot.some of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the enviroment, and they are tired of people who disagree with them.those people，say skeptics，spread nothing but bad news about the environment.the “ecoguilt”brought on by the discouraging news about our planet gives rise to the popularity of skeptics as people search for more comforting worldviews.perhaps that explains why a new book by bjorn lomborg received so much publicity.that book ，the skeptical environmentalist, declares that it measures the “real state of the world”as fine. of course ，another explanation is the deep pockets of some big businesses with special interests. indeed, mr. lomborgs views are similar to those of some industryfunded organizations, which start huge activities through the media to confuse the public about issues like global warming. so it was strange to see mr. lomborgs book go largely unchallenged in the media though his beliefs were contrary to most scientific opinions. one national newspaper in canada ran a number of articles and reviews full of words of praise, even with the conclusion that “after lomborg, the environmental movement will begin to die down.”such onesided views should have immediately been challenged. but only a different review appeared in nature, a respected science magazine with specific readership. the review remarked that mr. lomborgs “preference for unexamined materials is incredible(不可信的)”a critical (批判的)eye is valuable, and the media should present information in such a way that could allow people to make informed decisions. unfortunately, that is often inaccessible as blocked by the desire to be shocking or to defend some special interests. people might become halfblind before a world partially exhibited by the media. thats a shame, because matters concerning the health of the planet are far too important to be treated lightly.本文讲述了怀疑论者不承认人类活动对环境造成的危胁，认为地球状况是良好的，这迎合了一些追求利益的商业公司。但是关系地球健康的问题是相当重要的，人们一定要严肃对待。1. according to the passage, which of the following may be regarded as “skeptics”？a. people who agree on the popularity of “ecoguilt”b. people who disbelieve the serious situation of our planet.c. people who dislike the harmful effect of human activities.d. people who spread comforting news to protect our environment.答案：b。细节理解题。根据短文第一段可知，怀疑论者不承认人类活动对环境的影响。短文第二段第二句话中提到，他们认为世界的真正状态是好的，由此可知b项正确。2. which of the following can be a reason for the popularity of lomborgs book?asome big businesses intend to protect their own interests. bthe book challenges views about the fine state of the world.cthe author convinces people to seek comforting worldviews.dindustryfunded media present confusing information.答案：a。细节理解题。根据短文第二段最后一句话可知lomborg的观点与一些由工业资助的组织的观点是相似的。因此可知这些大的组织为了自己的利益也不会注重环保。3. the author mentioned the review in nature in order to _.a. voice a different opinionb. find fault with lomborgs book c. challenge the authority of the mediad. point out the value of scientific views答案：a。推理判断题。第三段提到加拿大的一家报纸对lomborg的书大加赞扬，第四段又提到这片面的观点应当受到挑战，然后说“nature”杂志上就有不同的评论。由此可知a项正确。4. what is the authors main purpose in writing the passage?a. to encourage the skeptics to have a critical eye.b. to warn the public of the danger of halfblindness with reviews.c. to blame the medias lack of responsibility in presenting information.d. to show the importance of presenting overall information by the media.答案：d。作者意图题。由短文最后一段第二句话可知，媒体应当提供全方位的信息，让人们在了解情况的前提下做出决定。由此可知d项正确。阅读理解。fear plays no part in this latest problem“im not afraid ill lose my childreni wont lose my children. we live together, and nothing, nothing,” she repeats, her voice rising when speaking to johns lawyer, “will stop me from being with my children. a law?

these areannoying, boring, and ineffective ways of communicating. they are almost guaranteed to lose theaudiences close attention and interest, let alone persuade or inspire anyone to do anything. andyet lots of people still make this mistake. if we use the 40-minute technique, we may not succeed in memorizing our presentationcontent on a 100% word-by-word basis, but well be familiar enough so that we can spend muchmore time making eye contact with our audience. we will engage them in the process, whileglancing at our text instead of staring at it. this will also free up our hands and arms to conveysome extra messages through gesture as you see, the technique really works, but like many things,- it takes practice to perfect it.therefore，wed better find ways to use the language outside of the classroom，as regularly andfrequently as possible. one fundamental rule of language learning is, use it, or lose it” seize the forty-minute learning window and well bring in a rich harvest of language learning.41 which of the following is true according to paragraph 1？ a. dr. smith is born with the great ability to memorize things b it is surprising that english is as difficult to master as chinese. c the authors high school latin and greek teacher has a positive influence on him. d the author made a few suggestions on learning english based on his teachers experience.42the authors teacher recommended the 40-minute“super memory”period partly because a it is less noisy in the forty minutes than in the daytime b we are always more peaceful when we awake in the morning c our brain is more active in the forty minutes than the other time d the last information obtained before bed is more likely to remain43 we can learn from the passage that the 40-minute technique a. guarantees that we understand the difficult language b aids a speaker in reading his speech from a prepared text c helps the author pass those daily quizzes in his university days d makes a speaker memorize the presentation content completely44 whats the authors attitude towards the 40-minute technique? a. approving b. objective c. doubtful d. cautious45 which of the following is the best title for this passage？ a. the best way to learn english bthe importance of memory skillsc the“magic，40-minute technique dmy advice on learning english【参考答案】4145、cdcac 阅读理解。businesses are witnessing a difficult time, which has in turn produced influence on consumers desire to go green. however, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns.two thirds of customers say that environmental considerations inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a year ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy.this may help to influence how shops store goods on their shelves. and the companies should still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly. two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible companies, with about one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a companys environmental reputation was not good enough.harry morrison, chief executive（主管）of the carbon trust, sympathizes：“i understand this situation where survival is very important now. but from environmental considerations, the clock is tickingwe dont have much time. in addition, cutting carbon has an immediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand.”larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require businesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions（排放）. those that have taken early action will have a head start. more than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which companies are environmentally responsible. this suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.the carbon trust believes that it can help by informing customers about the good work companies are doing. “when companies are granted（授予）the standard, they can use a logo（标识）in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are working towards cutting emissions,” mr. morrison said.
