參考答案UNIT3單元提能強(qiáng)化練Ⅰ.【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了一種環(huán)保的包裝物品的方式,能夠盡量削減環(huán)境污染。1.C推理推斷題。依據(jù)第一段中“Itshouldbeoneofthemaingoals...andcontinueusingplastic,it’sactuallytheopposite.”可知,回收利用并沒有解決塑料消費這一問題。故選C項。2.A細(xì)微環(huán)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)其次段中“Ijustenteredtogetafewitemswhilewewerewaitingtosignsomecontractswithourlawyer,whowasdelayed.”可知,作者正等著和律師簽訂合同,律師遲到了,所以作者進(jìn)來商場是想買點東西。故選A項。3.D詞義揣測題。依據(jù)最終一段中“Ifeveryoneoptsforthebananaleafpackaging,theywillprobablystopstockingtheitemsinplastic.”可知,句中bananaleafpackaging表示“香蕉葉包裝”,這是代替塑料包裝的一種選擇?？赏葡氘嬀€短語optsfor表示“選擇”,與chooses同義。故選D項。4.D標(biāo)題推斷題。通讀全文,文章提到了一種環(huán)保的包裝物品的方式,這是一種選擇,能夠盡量削減環(huán)境污染,所以D項可以作為文章標(biāo)題。故選D項?！菊Z篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇說明文。在菲律賓新發(fā)覺的一種蜥蜴讓科學(xué)家們認(rèn)為在這個國家的島嶼上可能還有其他從未見過的生物,但因為島上的雨林正處于危急之中,一些生物可能恒久不會被發(fā)覺。5.B推理推斷題。依據(jù)第一段中“Butscientistssaythosecreaturesmightneverbefoundbecausetheislands’rainforestsareindanger.”可知,科學(xué)家們認(rèn)為因為島上的熱帶雨林正處于危急之中,一些生物可能恒久不會被發(fā)覺。所以科學(xué)家們對在菲律賓雨林中發(fā)覺更多新生物持懷疑看法。故選B項。6.D細(xì)微環(huán)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)其次段中“Thelatestlizardwasfirstspottedin2001whenscientistssawlocalpeopleoftheislandcatchitforfood.”可知,科學(xué)家們看到島上的當(dāng)?shù)厝税堰@種新蜥蜴當(dāng)作食物時才發(fā)覺了它。故選D項。7.C推理推斷題。依據(jù)第三段中“Allofthoselizardsaremeat-eaters...helpeditremainhiddenfromscientists’viewformanyyears.”可知,這種新蜥蜴不同于其他種類的蜥蜴,它吃水果,多數(shù)時間可以始終待在樹上。故選C項。8.A詞義揣測題。上文提到“Butthosespecieswillnotbefound...35percentofthePhilippines’land.”,本句中的But使句意轉(zhuǎn)折,buildingonit和強(qiáng)調(diào)現(xiàn)在森林覆蓋不到全國土地的25%,說明是人類侵占了土地,破壞了雨林。encroachingon與Invading同義。故選A項。Ⅱ.【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。作者發(fā)覺公園里有許多的垃圾,只靠他自己的力氣去撿垃圾是變更不了現(xiàn)狀的。所以作者就組織了一些志愿者加入進(jìn)來,進(jìn)行垃圾清理活動。1.B依據(jù)下文“rockof3,300feetstraightup”可知,這塊石頭是巨大的。故選B項。2.A依據(jù)開頭第一句話“IfellinlovewithYosemiteNationalParkthefirsttimeIsawit.”可知,作者在第一次去約塞米蒂國家公園的時候就喜愛上了這個地方,和這句話“ItouchedthatgiantrockandknewIwantedtoclimbit.”的上下文意思的連貫,摸著石頭的當(dāng)時即刻就有了想要爬上去的想法,也表達(dá)了作者喜愛這個公園的情感。故選A項。

3.D依據(jù)上一句“Iwantedtoclimbit”可知,作者想要爬上大石頭。故選D項。4.B依據(jù)下一段最終“suchabeautifulhome-likeplace”可知,作者把這里當(dāng)成是自己的家。故選B項。5.C依據(jù)下文“l(fā)ikebeercans,emptyboxes”可知,這些東西在公園里是被丟掉的廢棄物。故選C項。6.C依據(jù)上文“About15yearsagoIstartedseeingalotof,likebeercans,emptyboxes,aroundthearea.”可知,作者發(fā)覺了公園里的垃圾,證明游客的行為不敬重公園。故選C項。

7.B依據(jù)上一段可知,游客們在公園里扔垃圾,作者為了愛護(hù)公園的環(huán)境,就自己去撿垃圾。故選B項。8.D依據(jù)上一句話“Itriedtrashmyself,butthejobwastoobig.”可知,作者自己去撿垃圾,所
