yRachelCarson,SilentSpringhighlightstheeffectsofpesticides(杀虫剂)ontheenvironment,especiallyDDT,whichwasaverypopularinsecticideuntilitwasfinallybannedin1972.ThebookeventuallyledtoachangeintheUnitedStates’pesticidepolicyandcontributedtothecreationoftheEnvironmentalProtectionAgency.(《寂静的春天》的作者蕾切尔·卡森强调了农药对环境的影响，尤其是DDT，它是一种非常受欢迎的杀虫剂，直到1972年才最终被禁止。这本书最终改变了美国的农药政策，并促成了环境保护署的成立)”可知，《寂静的春天》引起了政府对环境问题的关注。故选A项。【2题详解】推理判断题。根据TheUninhabitableEarth下的“ThisbookbyDavidWallaceWellsexaminesthedisastersthathavealreadyoccurredandlooksaheadtotheyear2100andwhatclimatechangewilldoifwecontinueonourcurrentpath.Itsopeninglineisincrediblytelling:“Itisworse,muchworse,thanyouthink.”(大卫·华莱士·威尔斯的这本书审视了已经发生的灾难，展望了2100年，以及如果我们继续目前的道路，气候变化将会带来什么。它的开场白令人难以置信：“情况比你想象的更糟，糟糕得多。”)”可知，作者在《不宜居住的地球》中说情况比你想象的更糟，表达了他担忧的感受。故选B项。【3题详解】细节理解题。根据TheEndofNature下的“Publishedin1989,thebookdescribestherelationshipbetweennatureandhumans.Itexpressestheideathatnaturewaspreviouslyindependentofhumansbuthasnowbeenaffectedbythemineveryway.AccordingtoauthorBillMcKibben,theideaofwildernessislost,andnatureisnolongercomplete.(这本书出版于1989年，描述了自然与人类之间的关系。它表达了这样一种观点：大自然以前是独立于人类的，但现在在各个方面都受到了人类的影响。根据作家比尔·麦基本的说法，荒野的概念已经消失，自然也不再完整)”可知，比尔·麦基本认为人类活动正在破坏自然。故选C项。BThereweretwofishermennamedTomandJack.Theywereclosefriends.Onedaytheywentouttocatchfishtogetherandhaveafishmealinthefield.Theysatatadistanceandstartedhuntingforfish.Tomgotabigandbeautifulfishinafewminutes.Hewassohappyandplacedthefishintheicebox.Hedecidedtocookthefishatnoon.Hespentsomemoretimeandcaughtafewmorefish.Hedecidedtomakeagrandmealwiththefish.Also,hefrozeafewfishtotakethembackhome.Afteranhourorso,TomwenttoJacktoseeifheneededanyhelp.Jacksaidno.Inafewminutes,Jackcaughtalargefish.However,heputitbackintothelake.Tomwassurprisedathisact,butheremainedsilent.Jackcaughtmorebigfish,andputthemallbackintothelake.Veryfrustrated,Tomangrilyaskedhim,“Areyoumad?Whydoyouputyourfishbackintothewater?Theyarebeautifulandbig!”Jackreplied,“Iknowtheyarebig,butIdon’thavethebigpantocookthebigfish!SoI’mlookingforasmallerfishthatfitsmycookingpan!Godistroublingmetoday.”4.WhatdidTomandJackgooutfor?A.Tocatchfish.B.Tohaveajoyride.C.Toeatouttogether.D.Tofeedthefishinthelake.5.WhatdidTomwanttodowhenhewenttohisfriend?A.Togivehimsomefish.B.Toseeifheneededsomehelp.C.Toaskhimtocookhisfish.D.TotakesomeofJack’sfishforhimself.6.WhywasTomangrywithhisfriend?A.Hecouldn’tunderstandhisact.B.Hewasfondofeatingbigfish.C.Hethoughtitwasunfairforsmallfish.D.Hedidn’tcatchanybigfishhimself.7.WhatwouldbeTom’sadviceforhisfriendattheendofthestory?A.AskingGodtosendhimonlysmallfish.B.Takingabiggerpanwithhimnexttime.C.Changinghisfishingpoletocatchsmallfish.D.Cuttingthebigfishintosmallpiecestofithispan.【答案】4.A5.B6.A7.D【解析】【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了两位好朋友Tom和Jack一起去钓鱼的经历。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Onedaytheywentouttocatchfishtogetherandhaveafishmealinthefield.(一天，他们一起出去捕鱼，在地里吃了一顿鱼餐。)”可知，Tom和Jack一起出去钓鱼并在野外吃鱼餐，因此他们出去的目的是为了钓鱼。故选A。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Afteranhourorso,TomwenttoJacktoseeifheneededanyhelp.(大约过了一个小时，汤姆去找杰克，看他是否需要帮助。)”可知，Tom去朋友那里是想看看他是否需要帮助。故选B。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Jackcaughtmorebigfish,andputthemallbackintothelake.Veryfrustrated,Tomangrilyaskedhim,“Areyoumad?Whydoyouputyourfishbackintothewater?Theyarebeautifulandbig!”(杰克抓了更多的大鱼，把它们都放回湖里。汤姆很沮丧，生气地问他:“你疯了吗？你为什么把鱼放回水里？它们又大又漂亮!”)”可知，Tom对Jack的行为感到不解，因为他认为Jack抓住的大鱼很漂亮，但是Jack却把它们放回了水里。这让Tom无法理解，因此他很生气。故选A。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Jackreplied,“Iknowtheyarebig,butIdon’thavethebigpantocookthebigfish!SoI’mlookingforasmallerfishthatfitsmycookingpan!Godistroublingmetoday.”(杰克回答说:“我知道它们很大，但我没有煮大鱼的大锅!”所以我在找一条适合我的平底锅的小鱼!今天上帝让我烦恼了。”)”可推知，在文章的最后，Tom可能会建议Jack把大鱼切成小块以适合他的锅。故选D。CWhenArielCordovarodeherbiketoJamaicaBayWildlifeRefugeinQueens,NewYork,lastNovember,sheplannedtogohikingandbird-watching.Amileintoherwalk,shespottedabeautifulfemalemuteswannearthewater’sedge.Cordova,30,whohadworkedattheWildBirdFundrecoverycenter,knewthatmuteswanscanbeaggressive(侵略性的).Butassheapproachedthisone,itdidn’tmove.Shewascertainthatthebirdneededmedicalattention.Cordovadraped(披，悬挂)herjacketoverthebird’sheadtokeepitcalm,carefullypickeditup,andhelditgentlyinherarms.Shewaswonderinghowtotransporta17-poundswanonherbiketotherecoverycenterwhen,luckily,someconfusedstrangersdrivingbyofferedher,herbike,andtheswanalifttoanearbysubwaystation.Cordovacalledtherecoverycenterontheway,andTristan,ananimalcaremanager,pickedherupatthesubwaystationanddrovethebird,thebike,andtherescuertothefacility(场所).There,staffmembersdeterminedthattheswanmighthavelead(铅)poisoning.Sadly,evenwithallthattenderlovingcare,theswangotcontracted,whichcausedherpassedawaytwomonthsafterbeingrescued.It’sadisappointingendingbuttherealstoryisjusthowfarsomepeoplearewillingtogotosaveaswanin,thebigcity.Inall,Cordovatraveledtwohoursbyfoot,car,andsubway.“That’stheperfectsummaryofwhosheis,”【11题详解】saysTristan.8.WhatmadeCordovabelievethebirdneededmedicalattention?A.Itscarefulmove.B.Itsaggressivenature.C.Itsunusualbehavior.9.HowdidCordovafinallygettotherecoverycenter?A.Shewalkedtwohours.B.Amanagertookherbycar.C.Somestrangerpickedherup.10.What
