推理判断题。根据第一段中“It

one

of

the

main

goals...and

using

plastic,it’s

actually

the

opposite.”可知,回收利用并没有解决塑料消费这一问题。故选C项。ⅠⅡⅢ2.WhydidthemangotoRimpingSupermarket?A.Tobuysomeitems.B.Tolookfornewideasthere.C.Totakephotosoftheirshelves.D.Tosignacontractwithalawyer.A解析

词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“If

the

banana

leaf

packaging,they

will

probably

stop

stocking

the

items

in

plastic.”可知,句中banana

leaf

packaging表示“香蕉叶包装”,这是代替塑料包装的一种选择。可推测画线短语opts

for表示“选择”,与chooses同义。故选D项。ⅠⅡⅢ4.Whatisthebesttitleofthetext?A.LeafPackagingSpreadsRapidlyB.ReducingPlasticConsumptionC.RecyclingAvoidsPlasticPackagingD.AGoodOptionMakesADifferenceD解析

标题判断题。通读全文,文章提到了一种环保的包装物品的方式,这是一种选择,能够尽量减少环境污染,所以D项可以作为文章标题。故选D项。ⅠⅡⅢBAnewlydiscoveredlizardfoundinthePhilippineshasmadescientiststhinktheremightbeothernever-before-seencreaturesonthatcountry’sislands.Butscientistssaythosecreaturesmightneverbefoundbecausetheislands’rainforestsareindanger.ⅠⅡⅢThelatestlizardwasfirstspottedin2001whenscientistssawlocalpeopleoftheislandcatchitforfood.Scientiststooksomepicturesofthelizard.Finallyscientistscaughtalizardthemselvestostudy.TheynamedthenewlizardtheNorthernSierraMadreforestmonitorbecauseitwasdiscoveredintheislands’SierraMadreMountains.The6.6-foot-longlizardhasbrightyellowmarkingsthatdistinguishitfrommoreboring-lookingmonitors.Itslegsaremainlyyellow,anditstailisblackandyellow.ⅠⅡⅢⅠⅡⅢThediscoveryoftheNorthernSierraMadreforestmonitorismakingscientistsrealizethatPhilippines’rainforestsmayholdmanyundiscoveredspecies.Butthosespecieswillnotbefoundiftherainforestskeepdisappearing.Twentyyearsago,forestscoveredabout35percentofthePhilippines’land.Butpeoplehavebeenencroachingonthatlandandbuildingonit.Today,forestscoverlessthan25percentofthecountry’sland.

B.Doubtful.C.Excited. D.Supportive.B解析

推理判断题。根据第一段中“But

scientists

say

those

creatures

might

never

be

found

because

the

islands’

rain

forests

are

in

danger.”可知,科学家们认为因为岛上的热带雨林正处于危险之中,一些生物可能永远不会被发现。所以科学家们对在菲律宾雨林中发现更多新生物持怀疑态度。故选B项。ⅠⅡⅢ6.Howdidscientistsdiscoverthenewlizard?A.Theycaughtonewiththehelpofthelocals.B.Thelocalsgaveonetoscientistsasagift.C.Theyfounditfrompicturestakenbythelocals.D.Theynoticeditwhenthelocalshuntedthelizard.D解析

推理判断题。根据第三段中“All

of

those

lizards

are

meat-eaters...helped

it

remain

hidden

from

scientists’

view

for

many

years.”可知,这种新蜥蜴不同于其他种类的蜥蜴,它吃水果,多数时间可以一直待在树上。故选C项。ⅠⅡⅢ8.Whatdoestheunderlinedphrase“encroachingon”mean?A.Invading. .C.Maintaining. .A解析

词义猜测题。上文提到“But

those

species

will

not

be

found...35

percent

of

the

Philippines’

land.”,本句中的But使句意转折,building

on

it和强调现在森林覆盖不到全国土地的25%,说明是人类侵占了土地,破坏了雨林。encroaching

on与Invading同义。故选A项。ⅠⅡⅢⅡ.完形填空IfellinlovewithYosemiteNationalParkthefirsttimeIsawit.Myparentstookusthereforcamping.Onthewayout,IaskedthemtowaitwhileIranuptoElCapitan,a
