Question

【題目】 Imagine possessing something that you loved so much. Imagine what it would feel like if you lost it. While that item may be something as simple as a toy, you would still feel very upset, but you could replace it with a new one. Now imagine losing something that you depend on for survival and cannot be replaced. That is what it would be like if we lost the natural environment around us.

Firstly, I believe the environment should be protected because it supports human life. One of the largest examples is that we get all of our food and drinks from the environment. If the environment were to be destroyed beyond revival, then the human race would be over in months. Scientists have to find another planet with similar conditions to the Earth, and if it's found, we don’t have the technology to get to that planet in time.

Secondly, I believe that the environment serves as an amazing educational tool for students. When I was in second grade, I had an absolute interest in animals. When we had a field trip to the Daggerwing Nature Center, I was very excited. When we got there, I could hardly believe what I was seeing. There was a bridge to get to the main building, and under the bridge was a small swamp (沼澤) with turtles, fish, and my personal favorite, alligators. I was so surprised that I almost ran into the tour guide. We walked into the building and saw various animals in their habitats. I was so inspired by this visit. Six years later, I have taken an animal behavior class for three weeks. Meeting by chance with the environment can inspire people, and if preserved, it will continue to inspire people.

In conclusion, the environment is so valuable because it can't be replaced, keeps us alive, and serves as a great educational tool.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】B

【3】C

【4】A

【解析】

本文是議論文。作者用最心愛的東西比喻環(huán)境的重要性，接著從兩個方面來論述環(huán)境的重要性：環(huán)境是人們生存的保障，是無法取代的；環(huán)境也是一個很有價值的教育工具。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段中“Now imagine losing something that you depend on for survival and cannot be replaced. That is what it would be like if we lost the natural environment around us.（現(xiàn)在想象一下，你失去了賴以生存、無法替代的東西。如果我們失去了周圍的自然環(huán)境，情況就會是這樣。）”，作者用失去最心愛的東西來比喻我們失去賴以生存的環(huán)境。因此判斷出作者是以比喻類似的東西來引出話題的。故選D項。

【2】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)劃線詞后的一句“then the human race would be over in months.（那么人類將在幾個月內滅絕。）”，可知，前一句意指“環(huán)境遭到極為嚴重的破壞，無法恢復”。因此可以推測，beyond revival 意思為“無法恢復，不可挽回”，revival 意思為“恢復”。故選B項。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的首句“I believe that the environment serves as an amazing educational tool for students.”和最后一句“Meeting by chance with the environment can inspire people, and if preserved, it will continue to inspire people. ”，作者講述了自己二年級時到自然中心實地考察的經(jīng)歷。正是這次的實地考察之旅，讓作者深受鼓舞，后來選修動物行為課。作者認為環(huán)境對學生來說是一個神奇的教育工具。因此判斷出在第三段中作者是表明環(huán)境可以教育人們、激勵人們。故選C項。

【4】主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章最后一段中“the environment is so valuable because it can't be replaced, keeps us alive, and serves as a great educational tool. ”，作者認為環(huán)境是如此珍貴，因為它是不可替代的，是人類生存的保障，并且是了不起的教育工具。因此作者是論述環(huán)境的重要性。文章標題應為“環(huán)境為什么很重要？”故選A項。
