Ⅲ.阅读理解(建议用时8′)
Recently，scientists attending a meeting in Chicago presented new studies showing how food and its production affect global warming.They offered some suggestions for how to eat in a more environmentally friendly way.
For many years，scientists have warned us that our planet is getting warmer.If current trends continue，animals may start to die off and life could get very difficult for everyone.The temperature is rising because humans have been releasing massive amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere，which surround the planet and keep heat from escaping.One of these gases is carbon dioxide.
Most carbon dioxide we produce comes from the process of making and eating food，the scientists reported in Chicago.The production of meat contributes to a lot of carbon dioxide.And much of meat’s contribution comes from beef，which is responsible for releasing even more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
The process of making a hamburger，for example，requires a lot of energy.A cow has to be fed and raised，and cow’s wastes are a major source of greenhouse gases.After the cow is killed，the meat has to be processed and shipped to a consumer，which takes fuel.And most of the cow won’t even be used for meat people eat.
By the time a hamburger finally lands on a dinner plate，it has taken a heavy toll on the environment.It is believed that the process of making a half-pound all-beef burger adds about 19
times the weight of hamburgers in carbon dioxide.
The message is clear：We can greatly reduce the production of greenhouse gases by eating less beef.Other kinds of meat like pork and chicken do less harm to the environment—at least in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases released.Nathan Pelletier，a scientist at Dalhousie University in Canada，reported that if everyone in industrial countries ate chicken instead of beef，we would cut the Earth’s greenhouse gases by more than half.
All kinds of meat，the scientists reported，are harder on the planet than vegetables.To grow and eat a pound of potatoes，for example，sends less than one quarter pound of carbon dioxide into the air.So shifting our diet to less meat and more vegetables may do the world some good.
36．The text mainly tells us ________. A．what we eat can affect the whole planet B．the way we live affects the environment C．how we can save energy on the Earth D．how we can produce environment-friendly food
37．What is likely to happen if the climate is getting warmer according to the passage? A．Sea level will continue to rise sharply. B．Human beings won’t have enough food. C．It would be very hard for man to survive. D．All the animals and plants will disappear.
38．Why does the author mention the process of making a hamburger? A．To show meat is usually part of a hamburger.
B．To illustrate that our food contributes to greenhouse gases. C．To prove making a hamburger is a complex process.
D．To suggest a lot of energy is needed to make hamburgers.
39．The author believes one effective way to fight global warming is ________. A．we should eat no pork and no chicken B．we should eat more chicken than beef
第 9 页 共 9 页
C．we should eat not meat but vegetables
D．we should eat less meat and more vegetables
40．Which of the following statements would Nathan Pelletier agree to? A．Eating pork and chicken is more environmentally friendly. B．Meat consumption is the main cause of greenhouse gases. C．People in industrial countries consume more beef than fish. D．Eating more beef is a more efficient way to save more energy.
答案
Ⅰ.单项填空
1．D 2.B [burst(感情的)爆发。]
3．A [答句句意为：——艺术品在地震中被毁灭了。因此需用被动结构。] 4．B [过去分词短语作状语。] 5．B [过去分词短语作宾补。]
6．D [a large/good number of可修饰可数名词，而“五分之四”应为four fifths。] 7．C [too...to...太……而不能……。]
8．A [考查as...as的用法。从句中does代替spends，介词in省略了。] 9．C
10．A [It couldn’t be better意为：太好了！表示很高兴接受别人的帮忙。] 11．A [which用作关系代词，在定语从句中作主语。] 12.D
13．B [由句子结构可知，两个逗号之间为一个非限制性定语从句，故排除C、D，三者及三者以上当中最高的一个要用最高级，故选B项。]
14．C 15.C 得分策略
得分点3：“祈使句＋and/or ?else?＋陈述句”结构
[经典例题] ________ with farmers in the country in your summer vacation，and you will learn a lot about farming.
A．Work B．Working C．To work D．Having worked 错因分析 有些考生会认为前面是非谓语动词短语作状语，于是误选B、C或D；其实，前后两句之间有and连接，说明前面应该是一个独立的句子，故答案为A，构成祈使句。
[得分笔记] “祈使句＋and/or (else)＋陈述句”是一个常考句型。and/or (else)前面的祈使句表示一个条件，相当于if引导的条件状语从句，而and/or (else)后面的句子表示一种结果。在这个句型中，and/or (else)前面的祈使句如果带有比较级修饰的名词，可将谓语动词省略，构成“比较级＋名词＋and＋陈述句”结构。
Ⅱ.完形填空
16．B [此处something“某事”，指不确定的事情，符合题意。] 17．A [本句是“not...until...”句型。]
18．D [结合本句中的“Over the years”和“come to”可知此处是指“我”逐渐意识到的过程。]
19．C [此处强调的是“我”对父亲的那些话的接受，故选C项。]
20．D [根据本句中的“until”可知“我”在选定职业之前只是想先找一份工作暂时工作两三年，由此可判断此处是指“我”的“第一”份工作。]
21．A [“我”决定先暂时尝试一份工作，工作两三年后再“决定”自己的职业。]
22．A [结合上一句中的“a couple of years”和本句中的“a few years”可知，应选A项。] 23．D [此处matter表示“要紧，有重大影响”。]
24．B [本句中否定词与比较级连用表示最高级含义。]
25．C [“我”掌握了岗位要求的技能后又得到了“升迁”的机会，此处move up表示“提升”。]
26．D [因为“我”敢于尝试新的挑战，所以在公司中被提升到不同的“职位”。]
27．A [根据本句后半句引号中的内容可知这是“我”当时内心的“想法”。文章中没有提
