ato open a new landfill nearby.bto close the powderhall landfill in 2015.cto set up a plant for burning waste.dto persuade people to reduce their waste.bskeptics 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.19. 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.20. 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.21. 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 views22. 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.四、重点词汇1、_n.外表 2、_n.途径;方法 3、_adj.近似的;大约的4、_ n. 安排 5、_ n.到达 6、_ n.文章，物品7、_ v 使吃惊 8、_ n.气氛 9、_adj.明显的,表面上的 10、_ v.鼓掌;称赞;赞成 11、_ v.任命;指定;委派;委任 12、_ adj.适合的;适当的13、_ n.批准;认可;赞同 14、_ adj.任意的;武断的 15、_ a.人工(造)的;假的;不然的16、_ n.评价;估计 17、_ v.联合;联想;使有联系 18、_ v.假定;担任;承担 19、_adj.自动的;必然的20、_n.平均adj.平均(平常)的 21、_ v.避免;回避 22、_ adj.知道的;意识到的 23、_ n.交易;廉价品v.讨价还价24、_ adj.真实的;真正的25、_ n.权威;权力 pl.当局 26、_adj.敬畏的;可怕的27、_ adj.笨拙的;尴尬28、_ n.单身汉;学士29、_a.赤裸的;光秃的;稀少的五、短语词组及固定搭配30、_因(做了)某事向某人道歉31、_合某人的口味(心意) 32、_为某事和某人争论 33、_赞成;赞同 34、_说服/劝说某人做某事35、_拥有;装备 36、_对某人来说是常有的事37、_因感到羞耻/惭愧 38、_帮助某人做某事39、_把某物系在;使某物与相关联 40、_认为有重要性;重视 41、_服侍;照料 42、_知道;意识到 43、_对施行禁令;禁止44、_禁止做某事 45、_和某人做笔交易;和某人讨价还价 46、_基于;以为根据47、_以为根据;在基础上48、_使遭遇;降临于 49、_代表某人;为了某人的利益 2013-2014学年度高三英语8月第2次周练答题卷学生姓名： 班级： 分数： 一、单选题题号12345678910选项二、完成句子1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 三、阅读理解题号1516171819202122选项四、重点词汇1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19
