9.Monty Hempel is a professor of environmental science at Redlands University in California.He studies ecological literacy-or ecoliteracy (生態(tài)素養(yǎng)) for short.Ecoliteracy is the ability to think about and understand the natural processes that make life possible.
Monty Hempel says ecoliteracy gives people knowledge about environmental problems.But he says it does not always work to get them to change their behavior.
Mr.Hempel wrote part of the World watch Institute's latest State of the World report.He says in his article,"Some people think that ecoliteracy is just a green form of science literacy.And what I have tried to ask is whether that's enough.In other words,what an ecologically literate person needs to know might include things like the cycles and the flows,the energy systems,all of those kind of things that we would call the science of ecology."
"That doesn't seem to lead to action to protect our environment-to protect our life-support system to the level that we need to.Just because that we know,a lot about the environment doesn't mean that we actually act to save it.After all,actions speak louder than knowledge."
He adds that people may not be very worried about environmental problems if they seem far away."Some people call it psychological distance.A lot of climate issues (問題) are worse in the Arctic and most of us don't spend time in the Arctic.And so,there^a certain distance.But there's also a distance that's happening in the world as it urbanizes (城市化)-people spending more time in front of screens and less time out in nature.We become,if you will,disconnected from the natural systems that used to be the key to success for a human being."
To help children discover the wonders of nature,children should learn about nature in school,he adds.But he also points out there is a high mountain for people to climb from knowledge to action.
32.From what Monty Hempel says in Paragraph 3,we learn thatA.
A.ecoliteracy is more than a green form of science literacy.
B.people have learnt more knowledge about ecoliteracy.
C.ecoliteracy can greatly affect how nature works.
D.people with enough knowledge will better protect the environment.
33.In Mr.Hempel's opinion,which is the most important for environment protection?B
A.Knowledge.
B.Action.
C.Green living theory.
D.Psychological distance.
34.Mr.Hempel thinks people may show no concern about some environmental problems becauseD.
A.they lack knowledge on environment protection.
B.they are closely connected with the nature.
C.the problems are not serious at all.
D.the problems seem to be far away.
35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?C
A.It is the best way to learn about nature in school.
B.Climbing a high mountain is a good way to exercise.
C.It is easier to understand environment protection than to carry it out.
D.people should first collect waste in the mountains to protect the environment.
分析 本文是一篇議論文.文章主要講述了有關(guān)環(huán)境保護的問題.雖然人們都有保護環(huán)境的知識,但是只有知識是不夠的,保護環(huán)境更需要的是行動.
解答 32-35 ABDC
32.A.推理判斷題.根據(jù)"Some people think that ecoliteracy is just a green form of science literacy.And what I have tried to ask is whether that's enough.In other words,what an ecologically literate person needs to know might include things like the cycles and the flows,the energy systems,all of those kind of things that we would call the science of ecology."可知生態(tài)素養(yǎng)不僅僅是一種綠色的科學(xué)素養(yǎng).故選A.
33.B.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)"After all,actions speak louder than knowledge"可知Mr.Hempel的觀點是行動比知識更重要.故選B.
34.D.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)"Some people call it psychological distance.A lot of climate issues (問題) are worse in the Arctic and most of us don't spend time in the Arctic.And so,there^a certain distance"可知一些生態(tài)環(huán)境問題離我們比較遠,因此人們表現(xiàn)出極少的關(guān)注.故選D.
35.C.推理判斷題.根據(jù)"But he also points out there is a high mountain for people to climb from knowledge to action."可知要改變?nèi)藗儗Νh(huán)境保護的態(tài)度是很難的.故選C.
點評 本文是一篇議論文.文章主要講述了有關(guān)環(huán)境保護的問題.此類題型主要考查學(xué)生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力.細節(jié)理解題是針對文中某個細節(jié)、某句話或某部分具體內(nèi)容設(shè)置問題,所以在做細節(jié)理解題時要結(jié)合原文和提干有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進行仔細分析,再結(jié)合選項選出正確答案.在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要聯(lián)系上下文根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
