参考答案UNIT3单元提能强化练Ⅰ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种环保的包装物品的方式,能够尽量减少环境污染。1.C推理判断题。根据第一段中“Itshouldbeoneofthemaingoals...andcontinueusingplastic,it’sactuallytheopposite.”可知,回收利用并没有解决塑料消费这一问题。故选C项。2.A细节理解题。根据第二段中“Ijustenteredtogetafewitemswhilewewerewaitingtosignsomecontractswithourlawyer,whowasdelayed.”可知,作者正等着和律师签订合同,律师迟到了,所以作者进来商场是想买点东西。故选A项。3.D词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“Ifeveryoneoptsforthebananaleafpackaging,theywillprobablystopstockingtheitemsinplastic.”可知,句中bananaleafpackaging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optsfor表示“选择”,与chooses同义。故选D项。4.D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。【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。在菲律宾新发现的一种蜥蜴让科学家们认为在这个国家的岛屿上可能还有其他从未见过的生物,但因为岛上的雨林正处于危险之中,一些生物可能永远不会被发现。5.B推理判断题。根据第一段中“Butscientistssaythosecreaturesmightneverbefoundbecausetheislands’rainforestsareindanger.”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。6.D细节理解题。根据第二段中“Thelatestlizardwasfirstspottedin2001whenscientistssawlocalpeopleoftheislandcatchitforfood.”可知,科学家们看到岛上的当地人把这种新蜥蜴当作食物时才发现了它。故选D项。7.C推理判断题。根据第三段中“Allofthoselizardsaremeat-eaters...helpeditremainhiddenfromscientists’viewformanyyears.”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。8.A词义猜测题。上文提到“Butthosespecieswillnotbefound...35percentofthePhilippines’land.”,本句中的But使句意转折,buildingonit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。encroachingon与Invading同义。故选A项。Ⅱ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者发现公园里有很多的垃圾,只靠他自己的力量去捡垃圾是改变不了现状的。所以作者就组织了一些志愿者加入进来,进行垃圾清理活动。1.B根据下文“rockof3,300feetstraightup”可知,这块石头是巨大的。故选B项。2.A根据开头第一句话“IfellinlovewithYosemiteNationalParkthefirsttimeIsawit.”可知,作者在第一次去约塞米蒂国家公园的时候就喜欢上了这个地方,和这句话“ItouchedthatgiantrockandknewIwantedtoclimbit.”的上下文意思的连贯,摸着石头的当时即刻就有了想要爬上去的想法,也表达了作者喜欢这个公园的情感。故选A项。

3.D根据上一句“Iwantedtoclimbit”可知,作者想要爬上大石头。故选D项。4.B根据下一段最后“suchabeautifulhome-likeplace”可知,作者把这里当成是自己的家。故选B项。5.C根据下文“likebeercans,emptyboxes”可知,这些东西在公园里是被丢掉的废弃物。故选C项。6.C根据上文“About15yearsagoIstartedseeingalotof,likebeercans,emptyboxes,aroundthearea.”可知,作者发现了公园里的垃圾,证明游客的行为不尊重公园。故选C项。

7.B根据上一段可知,游客们在公园里扔垃圾,作者为了保护公园的环境,就自己去捡垃圾。故选B项。8.D根据上一句话“Itriedtrashmyself,butthejobwastoobig.”可知,作者自己去捡垃圾,所以要花时间去
