　　Ⅲ.閱讀理解

　　There are several advantages in planting trees: they firm the soil, soak(滲透) up extra water and take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.However, it now turns out that planting trees could add to global warming.We all know that tree roots do a great job of keeping soil firmly on the ground and out of the wind's power.The problem is that some of the dust clouds play an important part in soaking up carbon dioxide.

　　Huge dust storms blow out over the oceans from dry parts of North Africa and Central Asia.Tons of dust are lifted and left as a thin film over the ocean surface.

　　Dust from China is carried east and left in the Pacific Ocean.If a treeplanting programme there is successful and the dust supply reduced, the net result may be that less carbon dioxide gets locked away in the ocean.

　　Andy, an environmental scientist has spent the past few years studying dust and says his work shows clearly the complexity of the system.For this reason the need is to focus on cutting carbon dioxide giving off rather than doing anything else.

　　Robert, an American scientist, has shown that when native grassland areas are invaded by trees, carbon is lost from the soil.“We are studying why the soil carbon disappears, but one theory is that trees do a lot more of their growing above ground compared to grass, so less carbon goes directly into the soil from trees.” said Robert.

　　In wet areas of the world, the gain from trees absorbing carbon dioxide above ground seems to be outweighed by the loss of carbon from the soil below ground.

　　Countries that plan to fight against global warming by planting trees may have to think again.Solutions to environmental problems are often more complex than they first appear, and understanding the Earth's climate is a very great challenge.

　　36．People usually hold the opinion that________.

　　A．huge dust storms can destroy carbon dioxide

　　B．planting trees could reduce global warming

　　C．huge dust storms can destroy the oceans on the Earth

　　D．planting trees is the only way to control huge dust storms

　　37．Andy, an environmental scientist, believes that________.

　　A．environmental problems are more complex than

　　expected

　　B．trees shouldn't have been planted in dry places

　　C．dust plays a more important part than trees

　　D．carbon dioxide is harmful to everything

　　38．Robert's experiment proves that________.

　　A．trees absorb more carbon than grass

　　B．carbon can turn grass into dust

　　C．less carbon can make trees grow faster

　　D．grassland areas should be covered by forests

　　39．The best title for this passage is “________”．

　　A．The importance of planting trees

　　B．The dust clouds soak up carbon dioxide

　　C．Is it really useful to plant trees to reduce global warming?

　　D．Why the soil carbon disappears

　　答案

　　課時作業(二十九)

　　Ⅰ.1.A　考查短語辨析。句意：我丈夫今晚因故不能前來，我代表他向你們致謝。on behalf of意為“代表”；stand for是動詞短語，不符合句子結構要求。C、D意思不符。

　　2．C　考查動詞短語辨析。句意：孩子們在家的時候我們不得不忍受一些噪音。這里考查put up with “忍受；容忍”。go in for “從事”，hold on to “堅持”和keep up with “跟上”不合題意。

　　3．A　考查銜接詞。句意：我的朋友瑪麗生病了，是一種很奇怪的發燒，結果，她不能吃也睡不著。這里的as a result＝as a consequence表示一種結果。

　　4．A　考查名詞辨析。句意：如果批量購物會比較便宜，但是在購買前要注意商品的質量。quantity意為“數量”，而quality意為“質量”，短語in quantity意為“大量的”。

　　5．C　考查冠詞的用法。第一空考查第一次提到的人或物用不定冠詞a；a sense of direction“方向感”，固定搭配。

　　6．A　考查名詞辨析。coal, oil, gas都是fuels(燃料)。article意為“商品”；goods意為“貨物”；product意為“產品”。

　　7．C　句意為： 會議上有一些不同的意見，但是總體來說是很成功的。on the whole大體上；總的來說；in a word簡而言之，一言以蔽之； in all總共；總計； or rather更確切地說。根據語境，C項符合題意。

　　8．B　考查動詞辨析。句意：現代家具設計越來越簡單，我們生活中的很多東西都是如此。tend to意為“傾向于”； attend to意為“照顧” ，add to意為“增加”， appeal意為“吸引”，都不合題意。

　　9．C　考查動詞辨析。句意：溫度是在15度到35度之間變化。range from…to…意為“在……范圍內變化”；spread意為“傳播”，move意為“移動”和shift意為“轉換”，均不合題意。

　　10．D　考查動詞短語辨析。句意：這場音樂會下周四舉行，屆時我們將欣賞到最好的鋼琴家的最好的表演。這里的take place 意為“舉行”。

　　12．A　考查動詞短語辨析。句意：他們關注世界的健康，并且他們強烈地________戰爭。根據語意可知，此處應為“反對”，所以用be opposed to。

　　15．C　考查短語辨析。句意：隨著溫度的升高，新芽開始冒出來。go up 意為“上漲”。

　　Ⅱ.俗話說“貪小便宜吃大虧”，在生活中誠信顯得很重要。本文通過描述Mr Glen的一段親身經歷說明了這一道理。

　　16．A　set up設立，成立；come up走近，出現；go up上升，增長；call up召喚，使想起。由語境可知選A。句意：他成立了他的小公司。

　　17．C　根據全文可知，Mr Glen把這次教訓當做交了一次“額外的”學費。extra額外的，不包括在價目表內的。文章最后一段中because the additional high “school” fee也有暗示。

　　18．B　根據前文decided to return to the homeland可知，此處表示“離開”。

　　19．C　空格后的made through years of work after school and the scholarships 可知，他用他的積蓄(課外工作所得和獎學金)買的。saving存款，積蓄。
