文字，绘画，现在是编程，"）“可知，在最后一段中伊丽莎白给读者提供建议。故选C,

8.D9.B10.C11.B

【导语】

本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了美国农业部的一份新报告称森林在未来可能会加剧全球变暖,

而非缓解全球变暖，到2070年，森林甚至可能会成为主要的碳排放者。

8.

自然灾害的破坏，且吸收温室气体的能力随着年龄在下降，所以可推知美国的森林可能会加

剧全球变暖，划线词的意息为''加剧，使恶化“。A.Address写姓名地址：B.Measure测量；

答案第2页，共12页

C.Relieve放松；D.Worsen（使）变得更坏。故选D。

9.

主旨大意题。根据第二段“Thelossofcarbonabsorptioniscausedinpartbynaturaldisasters

suchaswildfires,tornadoesandhurricanes,whichareincreasinginfrequencyandstrengthas

globaltemperaturesrise.Thedisastersdestroyforests,destroyingtheirecosystemanddecreasing

theirabilitytoabsorbcarbon,accordingtoLynnRiley,aseniormanagerofclimatescienceatthe

AmericanForestFoundation.Agingforestsalsocontribute.Thereportfoundthatolder,mature

treesabsorblesscarbonthanyoungertreesofthesamespecies,andU.S.forestsarerapidlyaging.

（碳吸收的减少部分是由野火、龙卷风和飓风等自然灾害造成的，随着全球气温的上升，这

些自然灾害的频率和强度都在增加。美国森林基金会气候科学高级经理LynnRiley表示，这

些灾难摧毁了森林，破坏了它们的生态系统，降低了它们吸收碳的能力。森林老化也是原因

之一。报告发现，较老的、成熟的树木吸收的碳比同一物种的年轻树木少，美国的森林正在

迅速老化）“可知，本段主要列举了几个导致森林吸收碳能力减少的原因，如自然灾害、森林

老化等。故选B。

10.

细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后一句话“Weneedtocutdownfossilfuelemissionsbeforethe

globalcarboncyclestartsworkingagainstus.（我们需要在全球碳循环开始对我们不利之前减

少化石燃料的排放厂可知，SimonLewis建议减少化石燃料排放。故选C“

11.

推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“U.S.forestscurrentlyabsorb11percentofU.S.carbon

emissions,or150millionmetrictonsofcarbonayear,equaltothecombinedemissionsfrom40

coalpowerplants,accordingtothereport.Thelossofforestsasnaturalcarbonabsorberswill

muchmoreinemissions,MRileysaid.（根据该港口的数据,美国森林目前吸收了美国11%的碳

排放量，即每年1.5亿吨碳，相当于40座燃煤电厂的总排放量。作为天然碳吸收器的森林

的消失将要求美国更快地减少排放，以达到净零排放。,在我们努力脱碳的过程中，森林是

最伟大的工具之一。如果我们失去了这个工具，这意味着我们将在排放方面做出更大的贡

献，，Riley说）”可知，森林在吸收碳方面起着重要作用，如果森林消失，意味着对排放量有

非常高的要求，故本段主要是在分析森林保护的重要性。故选B。

12.D13.A14.C15.D

【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了一项研究表明，家务活可能有助于健康衰老，常

做家务身心健康，常做家务的人到了老年以后认知功能和记忆力更强，同时也能降低老年人

的依赖感和摔倒的风险等，

12.细节理解题。由第二段中“Participantscompletedcognitive（认知）functiontestsandphysical

capabilityassessments.Theywereaskedabouttheirlevelsofphysicalactivity,includinglight

housework（suchasdusting）andheavyhousework（suchasfloor-scrubbing）.（参与者完成了认知

功能测试和体能评估。他们被问及自己的体力活动水平，包括轻家务（如除尘）和重家务（如

擦地板）。）”和“Similarly,olderadultswhoreportedhighlevelsoflighthouseworkhadhigher

cognitiveandmemoryscorescomparedtothosewhodidlowlevelsofsuchtasks.（同样，与那些

做低水平家务的人相比,报告做高水平轻家务的老年人的认知和记忆得分更高。）”可知，研

究人员通过听参与者的口头报告来测量参与者的体育活动水平。故选D项。

13.推理判断题。由第二段中"Theresearchersfoundthatolderadultswhoengagedinhigh

amountsofheavyhouseworkhadhighercognitiveandattentionscorescomparedtothosewhodid

lowlevelsornoheavyhouseworkatall.Theseparticipantsalsohadlowersit-to-standtimesand

究人员发现，与那些做少最或根本不做繁重家务的人相比，从事大量繁重家务的老年人的认

知和注意力得分更高。这些参与者从坐到站的时间也较短，摔倒的风险也较低。同样，与那

些做低水平家务的人相比，报告做高水平轻家务的老年人的认知和记忆得分更高；）''可知，
