课时作业B：能力层面
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2019·长沙市统一模拟)When she first started learning about the climate change from one of her elders, Fawn Sharp was invited on a helicopter flight over the Olympic Mountains to survey the Mount Anderson glacier. But the glacier was gone, melted by the warming climate. Sharp had a deep sense of loss when she discovered the glacier wasn't there anymore.
Loss is a growing issue for people working and living on the front lines of climate change. And that gave Jennifer Wren Atkinson, a full-time lecturer at the University of Washington Bothell, US, an idea for a class.
This term, she taught students on the Bothell campus about the emotional burdens of environmental studies. She used the experiences of Native American tribes(部落), scientists and activists, and asked her 24 students to face the reality that there is no easy fix—that “this is such an intractable problem that they're going 2
to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives.”
Student Cody Dillon used to be a climate science skeptic(怀疑论者). Then he did his own reading and research, and changed his mind.
Dillon wasn't going into environmental work—he was a computer-science major. Yet, the potential for a worldwide environmental catastrophe seemed so real to him five years ago that he quit his job and became a full-time volunteer for an environmental group that worked on restoration(恢复) projects.
Six months into the work, he decided that Atkinson's class was just what he was looking for—a place where he could discuss his concerns about a changing climate.
Atkinson said she hopes the class helped her students prepare themselves for the amount of environmental loss that will happen over their lifetimes.
“We are already changing the planet—so many species are going to be lost, displaced or massively impacted，” she said. “The future isn't going to be what they imagined.”
【语篇解读】 Fawn Sharp通过一次搭乘直升机飞行的经历认识到了冰川融化和环境污染问题的严重性，同时Jennifer Wren Atkinson决定给学生开设课程，教学生如何面对环境污染，她的课程让很多学生关注环境问题。
1．Why did the author mention the case of Fawn Sharp? A．To lay a basis for Fawn Sharp's further research. B．To prove Fawn Sharp's work is similar to Atkinson's. C．To lead into the issue of loss caused by climate change. D．To show scientists' concern about the Mount Anderson glacier. C [推理判断题。通读第一段可知，Fawn Sharp在一次直升机飞行中意识到气候变化导致了冰川融化；由此可推知，作者在第一段中提及Fawn Sharp的例子是为了引出下文气候变化导致环境问题的话题，故选C。]
2．What's the main purpose of Atkinson's class?
A．To explore how different people deal with climate change.
3
B．To get students more concerned about the environmental issue. C．To find solutions to the environmental issue of Olympic Mountains. D．To teach students how to conduct research about environment. B [细节理解题。根据第三段中的“and asked her 24 students to face the reality that there is no easy fix—that ‘this is such an intractable problem that they're going to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives.’”可知，她让她的24个学生面对这个事实——没有简单的解决方法，这是一个很难解决的问题，学生们将用他们的余生来解决这个问题。由此可知，Atkinson的课的目的是让学生更加关注环境问题，故选B。]
3．Which of the following best explains “intractable” underlined in Paragraph 3?
A．Simple. C．Common.
B．Difficult. D．Interesting.
B [词义猜测题。根据上文可知，Atkinson用美洲土著部落、科学家以及积极分子们的经历让她的24个学生面对这个事实——没有简单的解决方法，并结合该句“this is such an intractable problem that they're going to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives”可知，这是一个如此困难的问题以至于学生们要用他们的余生来解决它，故选B。]
4．How did Atkinson's class influence Dillon?
A．It made him work as a part-time volunteer for restoration projects. B．It made him realize a planet-wide climate disaster would happen. C．It encouraged him to be more involved in environmental protection. D．It discouraged him to work on restoration projects for the environment. C [推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Six months into the work...discuss his concerns about a changing climate”可知，Dillon在环保组织做了六个月志愿者之后，他认为在Atkinson的课堂上他可以讨论他对气候变化的担忧；由此可推知，

B
(2019·江西省三名校联考)It's thought that around 5 trillion pieces of plastic are currently floating in our oceans.
Both mammals and fish benefit from the clean ocean. It is reported that more than 8 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans every year, and nearly half of the plastic we produce is single-use only.
This shoe brand, however, is riding the wave of change and is on a mission to help clean up our waters and rid the sea of plastic bottles that can take up to 400 years to break down. Vivobarefoot's newest footwear uses recycled plastic materials and has created an education program that spreads awareness about how harmful plastic is for sea life.
Every pair of shoes is made up of 17 plastic water bottles taken from the ocean and turned into a sustainable, comfortable pair of shoes, which are also healthy for your feet. And while not everyone can take part in ocean cleanups, choosing little ways we can give back to our planet goes a long way.
Vivobarefoot's new products include a variety of high-performance styles such as casual sneakers, running shoes, and hiking boots. The brand hopes that its latest initiative(新方案) will help lessen the indifference to pollution and how harmful it is for all living beings.
In the future, Vivobarefoot hopes to increase their production of shoes created from sustainable materials, and thankfully, it is now one of many brands that aim to increase environmentalism and educate communities on how global warming affects everyone.
This year, they'll add more recyclable and traceable materials into more than half of their production line, and they have plenty of creative developments in the works as well.
The shoes also have a health benefit. Based on the concept that wider, minimally designed shoes enable our foot to function at maximum potential, wearers also experience better balance and sensory input.
