rmtotheenvironment.答案:Passage1[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。“NoMowMay”运动起源于英国,并在北美迅速扩展开来。通过这项活动,人们可以为草坪留下自由生长的花,以此让蜜蜂授粉。这一活动不仅有利于生
态环境,而且可以让人反思自己与自然的关系。1.B细节理解题。根据第一段可知,NoMowMay在美国的背景是有一种保护蜜蜂的趋势。2.A推理判断题。根据第二段可推知,这项运动几乎不用任何费用。3.C词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“otherplants—i
ncludingnativespecies—mayalsoappearinyourlawn”可知,蒲公英是“NoMowMay”运动扩展后常见的花,而这项运动也会让草坪上长出其他种类的花。即蒲公英是“NoMowMay”运
动的典型例子。故可推断,画线部分意为“典型例子”。4.B推理判断题。根据第二段中“Itspopularityliesinitsbeingsimple:Justgivebeesahelpduringthecrucialspringtimebyremovingachorefromyou
rlistandlettingyourlawngrowforthemonthofMay.”及最后一段中“MostoftheAmericansprobablyloveddandelionsaschildrenbuthavetendedtohatethemas
adultsbecauseofAmericanlawnculture,whichallowsnoflowers.”可知,一块定期修剪的草坪才是符合美国草坪文化的。Passage2[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一款新的软件,这款名为FIT
的软件可以用来监控野生动物的活动,同时帮助保护主义者来监视濒危物种,并保护这些濒危物种免受偷猎者的伤害。5.B细节理解题。根据第一段“Interactivesoftwarethat‘reads’andanalysesfootprintsleftbyblackr
hinoscanbeusedtomonitorthemovementsoftheanimalsinthewild,givingconservationistsanewwaytokeepwatchontheendangeredspeciesandhelpkeepit
safefrompoachers,accordingtoaDukeUniversity-ledstudy.”可知,交互式软件可以用来监控野生动物的活动,同时给保护主义者提供了一种新的方法来监视濒危物种,并帮助保护它们免受偷猎者的伤害。
6.C细节理解题。根据第二段“Thesoftware,calledtheFootprintIdentificationTechnique(FIT),usesadvancedtechnologytoanalyzemorethan100me
asurementsofarhino’sfootprint.Becauseeachrhino’sfootprintisasspecialasahumanfingerprint,theanalyzedimagescanbecollectedelect
ronicallyinaglobaldatabaseofpreviouslycollectedfootprintimagesformatching.”可知,这款软件可以通过采集犀牛的足迹,然后会和先前收集的足迹图像的全球数据库进行匹配。可推知,这款软
件是非常实用的。7.A推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“‘It’sacost-effectiveapproachthatnotonlyprotectsthehealthoftherhinoandthehuman,butalsobringsacenturies-o
ldtrackingskillintothe21stCentury,’shesaid.”可知,ZoeJewell认为它以最低的成本带来最大的优势。8.A推理判断题。根据第一段和最后一段可知,FIT软件可以用来监控野生动物的活动,同时帮助保护主义者来监视濒危物种,并
保护这些濒危物种免受偷猎者的伤害。FIT可以对整个保护区的足迹进行调查,并对每个足迹进行测量,以估计该区域的犀牛数量,因而未来犀牛的数量应该是朝着人们期望的方向发展。Passage3[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了地球日的起源和发展以及作者希望人们转变观念——科学可以为保
护环境服务。9.D细节理解题。根据第一段中“Thereareclassprojects,programs,treeplantingsandmanyotherofficialevents.”可知,学生通常在地球日可以完成班级项目。故选D项。10.C细节理解题。根据第二段中“Ashelat
erexplainedit,theideawastochannel‘thestudentanti-warenergy’intotheenvironmentalcause.”可知,盖洛德·尼尔森是想把学生的注意力从反战示威上转移
开。故选C项。11.A推理判断题。根据第三段中“SomeadultswhohadthoughtEarthDaysupportershadgonetoofarmadefunofthem.Theycalledthem‘treehuggers’.”可知,一些成年
人认为地球日的支持者的做法太过火了,换句话说,一些成年人认为地球日的支持者们的做法太极端了。故选A项。12.B细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Instead,weunderstandthatscienceisoneofthe
maintoolswecanusetoprotecttheenvironment.”可知,作者支持的观点是现如今科学可以为保护环境服务。故选B项。词汇积累:1.(Passage1)atriskof冒着……危险2.(Passage1)popularityn.受欢迎3.(Passage1)bena

owingupinrecentyears.分析:本句为复合句。thatanti-poachingpatrols(反偷猎巡逻)canusetosearchforanimalsatthehighestrisk为tha
t引导的定语从句;whosefootprintshaven’tbeenshowingupinrecentyears为whose引导的定语从句。句意:这创建了一个交互式库,反偷猎巡逻队可以使用它来搜索风险最高的动物,包括那些近年来没有出
现脚印的动物。
