10、imeslongerthanconventionalroads”可知，這種塑料公路使用壽命比傳統(tǒng)公路長(zhǎng)兩到三倍。也就是說(shuō)，相較于傳統(tǒng)公路，塑料公路更耐用。故選A。 3.What’stheauthor’spurposeofwritingthispassage? A.Toshowdifferentwaystorecycleplastic.

18、amovietrailer，”saysMrGeddes. 語(yǔ)篇解讀　本文是一篇說(shuō)明文?，F(xiàn)代社會(huì)中，廣告信息隨處可見(jiàn)，這一產(chǎn)業(yè)的未來(lái)會(huì)是怎樣的呢？我們是否會(huì)迎來(lái)這樣的一天：人們走在城市的街道上，一抬頭就能看到高達(dá)200米的廣告？ 4.WhatdoestheauthorsayaboutLightvert? A.Theyaremakinghugephysicalcommercials. B.Theyattachanimagetotheirhugecommercials. C.Theircommercialsaretargetedatalargeraudience. D.Theirco

19、mmercialsareonlyvisiblefromonelocation. 答案　D 解析　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的“Whenyoupassdirectlyinfrontoftheimage，youseeit.Itappearstobehugeandhunginmid-air，butotherscan’tseeit.”可知，你從圖像前徑直走過(guò)時(shí)，就能看到它。它看起來(lái)很大而且懸浮在半空中，不過(guò)別人看不到。由此可推知，Lightvert公司的商業(yè)廣告只能從某個(gè)特定的位置看到。故選D。 5.Whatdoestheunderlinedsentenceinthefourthparagraph

20、imply? A.Somepeoplecan’tlivewithsomanyads. B.Someadsdon’tachievethedesiredresults. C.Somepeoplefeelconfusedaboutendlessads. D.Somepeoplearemoreusedtotraditionalads. 答案　A 解析　句意理解題。根據(jù)第四段的內(nèi)容，尤其是“InMoscow，forexample，anewformofadvertisingtargetingmotoristshassplitopinion.”可知，莫斯科民眾對(duì)一款面向汽車(chē)司機(jī)的新廣告褒貶不一，

21、也就是說(shuō)，人們對(duì)這類(lèi)廣告在意見(jiàn)上有分歧。由此可知，畫(huà)線句應(yīng)是指有人無(wú)法忍受這樣一個(gè)被各種廣告充斥的世界。故選A。 6.Whatistheproblemwithdigitalbillboardsaccordingtosomeobservers? A.Theyfailtoremindpeopleofdangerontheroads. B.Theymakepeoplelessconcentratedondriving. C.Theyhaveatendencytoviolatepeople’sprivacy. D.Theyareattractivebutkindofharmfultooure

22、yes. 答案　B 解析　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“it’sactuallythesafetyaspectthathasconcernedsomeobservers”“attractoureyes”“theytakeourattentionawayforovertwoseconds，alengthoftimewhichhasprovedtobedangerousontheroads”可知，一些觀察員真正擔(dān)心的是安全問(wèn)題，因?yàn)閿?shù)碼廣告牌會(huì)分散駕駛員的注意力，從而導(dǎo)致危險(xiǎn)。故選B。 7.Whichisthemostsuitabletitleforthispassage? A.TheF

23、utureofAdvertising B.HighTechnologyinAdvertising C.AWorldFloodedwithAdvertising D.DifferentOpinionsonAdvertising 答案　A 解析　標(biāo)題歸納題?？v觀全文，尤其是第一段中的“Imagineafuturewhere...ads”可知，本文主要講述了未來(lái)廣告形式的相關(guān)內(nèi)容，故A項(xiàng)作本文標(biāo)題最佳。 3 話題：環(huán)境保護(hù) 難度：★★ 建議用時(shí)：7分鐘 Theworldisliterallyagreenerplacethanitwas20yearsago，anddatafro

31、eincrediblyadaptable.” 語(yǔ)篇解讀　本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。NASA的衛(wèi)星資料顯示，中國(guó)和印度的行動(dòng)主導(dǎo)了地球變綠。 8.TheEarthisgettinggreenermainlybecauseof. A.theexpandingofleafareaintropicalcountries B.thedeterminedeffortstopreserveAmazonrainforests C.thetree-plantingprogramsandintensiveagriculture D.afavorableclimateandincreasedCO2inthe

32、atmosphere 答案　C 解析　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Theworldisliterallyagreenerplacethanitwas20yearsago，anddatafromNASAsatelliteshasrevealedasourceformuchofthisnewgreeningphenomenon：ChinaandIndia”和第五段中的“China’soutsizedcontributiontotheglobalgreeningtrendcomesinlargepart(42%) fromprogramstoconserveandexpandforests...

33、India—comesfromintensive(集約的) growingoffoodcrops.”可知，中國(guó)和印度正引領(lǐng)著地球綠化的增加，而這主要源于中國(guó)的植樹(shù)計(jì)劃和兩國(guó)的集約化農(nóng)業(yè)。故選C。 9.Whichofthefollowingstatementsmaytheresearchersagreewith? A.ThegreeningtrendinIndiawillcontinuetogoupwards. B.More“greening”meansbettercontrolofclimatechange. C.Landoverusethreatensthesuccessintheg

34、reeningontheEarth. D.Thesustainabilityinglobalecosystemswillbegreatlyimproved. 答案　C 解析　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的內(nèi)容可知，中國(guó)和印度的綠化面積占全球綠化面積的三分之一，但僅有全球9%的植被覆蓋面積，考慮到人口稠密的國(guó)家普遍存在過(guò)度開(kāi)發(fā)導(dǎo)致土地退化的現(xiàn)象，這是一個(gè)令人驚訝的發(fā)現(xiàn)。由此可推知，人們對(duì)土地的過(guò)度使用威脅著地球綠化的成功。故選C。 10.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“offset”inthelastbutoneparagraphprobablymean? A.Preve

35、nt. B.Survive. C.Interrupt. D.Balance. 答案　D 解析　詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段最后一句可知，巴西和印度尼西亞等熱帶地區(qū)的生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的可持續(xù)性和生物多樣性所受的負(fù)面影響仍然存在。再結(jié)合第三段的內(nèi)容可知，畫(huà)線詞所在句的含義應(yīng)是：研究人員指出，印度和中國(guó)主導(dǎo)的全球綠化的增加并不能抵消巴西和印度尼西亞等熱帶地區(qū)自然植被減少所帶來(lái)的損失。offset是“抵消，彌補(bǔ)”之意，與balance“相抵，抵消”的含義相近。故選D。 11.HowdoesNemanifeelaboutthefindings? A.Theyareapositiveindicatorof

36、overallhumannature. B.Theiraccuracyandreliabilityneedtobefurtherproved. C.Theyundervaluehumans’contributiontotheenvironment. D.Theirsignificanceforfutureresearchcannotbeoveremphasized. 答案　A 解析　推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Oncepeoplerealizethere’saproblem，theytendtofixit...”“...inthe90s，peoplerealizedit；andto

37、daythingshaveimproved.Humansareincrediblyadaptable.”可知，當(dāng)人們意識(shí)到問(wèn)題時(shí)，他們會(huì)想辦法來(lái)解決。人類(lèi)具有出乎意料的適應(yīng)能力。由此可知，研究結(jié)果表明了人性積極的一面。故選A。 題組訓(xùn)練二 1 話題：文字的重要性 難度：★★ 建議用時(shí)：7分鐘 [2019·江西省名校(臨川一中、南昌二中)聯(lián)考] Astheinternationaldemandfornarrative(敘事的) film/TV content continues to increase with popular streaming services like N

44、 A.Economicbenefits. B.Internationalreach. C.Culturalinfluence. D.Educationalimportance. 答案　A 解析　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句“Thenarrativefilmindustryisamoneymakerthatdwarfs(使相形見(jiàn)絀) thepublishingindustry.”可知，敘事電影行業(yè)是一個(gè)令出版行業(yè)相形見(jiàn)絀的賺錢(qián)行業(yè)，由此可知，敘事電影行業(yè)在經(jīng)濟(jì)利益方面使文字變得尷尬。故選A。 2.Whydoestheauthorvaluetheroleofthewrittenwor
