题文

The amount of carbon taken in by growing plants incread from 1982 through 1999 astemperatures ro and the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere incread. But a new studyin Friday ’ s edition of the journal Science found a drought - related decline in such plant growthfrom 2000 to 2009，even though temperatures continued to climb.As drought caud by warming reduces the land ’ s ability to take in carbon，the result couldbe more carbon dioxide left in the atmosphere，and thus more warming，Zhao Maosheng from theUniversity of Montana explained in a telephone interview.“This is a pretty rious warning that warmer temperatures are not going to endlessly improveplant growth ’” co - author Steven Running，also from the University of Montana ’ said in astatement. “ We e this as a bit of a surpri，and potentially significant on a policy level becauprevious interpretations suggested global warming might actually help plant growth around theworld, “ he said.Instead, he and Zhao found a small but measurable decline of about 1%，compared to a6%increa in the past decade.Their study，bad on the data collected by NASA satellites，found that north areas continuedto increa plant growth，thanks to warmer temperatures and a longer growing ason.Someone commented, "This past decade’ s net decline in earthly productivity suggests that acomplex relationship between temperature, rainfall, cloudiness, and carbon dioxide, probably incombination with other factors such as nutrients(营养）and land management，will determinefuture patterns and trends in productivity.，，小题1:From the first paragraph, we can learnin the recent decade or so.A．the emission(排放)of carbon hasn’ t been reducedB．draught has been causing loss of soil and waterC．carbon dioxide levels have been risingD．the ri of temperature doesn' t promote the plant growth小题2:Zhao Maosheng really worried that .E. more and more land will be abandonedF.the climate becomes warmer and warmerG.   the emission of carbon dioxide increasH.   draught further reduces the number of the plants小题3:Steven Running made his statement to  .I.  confirm Zhao' s views on the influence of temperature riJ. urge the government to take necessary measuresK.warn the people to strengthen the plant protectionL.support Zhao* s views on lhe plant production小题4:We can infer from the passage that  .A．global warming will determine the future productivityB．various factors play a key role jointly on future productivityC．earthly productivity actually incread in the past decadeD．temperature ri has had no effect on future producticity patterns 题型：未知难度：其他题型

考点

据考高分专家说，试题“The amount of carbon.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。 日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念：

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。

日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：

【题型说明】该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。 【备考提醒】为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点： 1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。 2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。 3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。 4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
