    Passage 2
    If the population of the earth goes on increasing at its present rate, there will eventually not be enough resources left to sustain life on the planet. By the middle of the 21st century, if present trends continue, we will have used up all the oil that drives our cars, for example. Even if scientists develop new ways of feeding the human race, the crowded conditions on earth will make it necessary for us to look for open space somewhere else. But none of the other planets in our solar system are capable of supporting life at present. One possible solution to the problem, however, has recently been suggested by an American scientist, Professor Carl Sagan.
    Sagan believes that before the earth's resources are completely exhausted it will be possible to change the atmosphere of Venus and so create a new world almost as large as earth itself. The difficulty is that Venus is much hotter than the earth and there is only a tiny amount of water there.
    Sagan proposes that algae organisms, which can live in extremely hot or cold atmospheres and at the same time produce oxygen, should be bred in conditions similar to those on Venus. As soon as this has been done, the algae will be placed in small rockets. Spaceships will then fly to Venus and fire the rockets into the atmosphere. In a fairly short time, the algae will break down the carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbon.
    When the algae have done their work, the atmosphere will become cooler, but before man can set foot on Venus it will be necessary for the oxygen to produce rain. The surface of the planet will still be too hot for men to land on it but the rain will eventually fall and in a few years something like earth will be reproduced on Venus.
    On Venus there is a lot of__________.

    A. water
    B. carbon dioxide
    C. carbon monoxide
    D. oxygen

    答案:B
    解析:
    由第--f&的最后一句话中的“there is only a tiny amount ofwater there(Venus)”得知,A选项错误。第三段结尾说明,藻类通过火箭运往金星,然后“In a fairly short time,the algae will break down the carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbon”.说明金星上有大量的二氧化碳。C和D选项错误。故选B。

    An Essential Scientific Process

    All life on the earth depends upon green plants. Using sunlight, theplants produce their own food. Then animals feed upon the plants. They take inthe nutrients the plants have made sted. But that’s not all.Sunlight also helps a plant produce oxygen. Some of the oxygen is used by theplant, but a plant usually produces me oxygen than it uses. The excess oxygenis necessary f animals other ganisms to live.

    The process of changing light into food oxygen is calledphotosynthesis. Besides light energy from the sun, plants also use water carbon dioxide. The water gets to the plant through its roots. The carbondioxide enters the leaves through tiny openings called stomata. The carbondioxide travels to chloplasts, special cells in the bodies of green plants.This is photosynthesis takes place. Chloplasts contain the chlophyllsthat give plants their green col. The chlophylls are the molecules thattrap light energy. The trapped light energy changes water carbon dioxide toproduce oxygen a simple sugar called glucose.

    Carbon dioxide oxygen move into out of the stomata. Watervap also moves out of the stomata. Me than 90 percent of water a planttakes in through its roots escapes through the stomata. During the daytime, thestomata of most plants are open. This allows carbon dioxide to enter the leavesf photosynthesis. As night falls, carbon dioxide is not needed. The stomataof most plants close. Water loss stops.

    If photosynthesis ceased, there would be little food other ganicmatter on the earth. Most ganisms would disappear. The earth’s atmospherewould no longer contain oxygen. Photosynthesis is essential f life on ourplanet.

But none of the other planets in our solar system are capable of supporting life at present.

    An Essential Scientific Process

    All life on the earth depends upon green plants. Using sunlight, theplants produce their own food. Then animals feed upon the plants. They take inthe nutrients the plants have made sted. But that’s not all.Sunlight also helps a plant produce oxygen. Some of the oxygen is used by theplant, but a plant usually produces me oxygen than it uses. The excess oxygenis necessary f animals other ganisms to live.

    The process of changing light into food oxygen is calledphotosynthesis. Besides light energy from the sun, plants also use water carbon dioxide. The water gets to the plant through its roots. The carbondioxide enters the leaves through tiny openings called stomata. The carbondioxide travels to chloplasts, special cells in the bodies of green plants.This is photosynthesis takes place. Chloplasts contain the chlophyllsthat give plants their green col. The chlophylls are the molecules thattrap light energy. The trapped light energy changes water carbon dioxide toproduce oxygen a simple sugar called glucose.

    Carbon dioxide oxygen move into out of the stomata. Watervap also moves out of the stomata. Me than 90 percent of water a planttakes in through its roots escapes through the stomata. During the daytime, thestomata of most plants are open. This allows carbon dioxide to enter the leavesf photosynthesis. As night falls, carbon dioxide is not needed. The stomataof most plants close. Water loss stops.

    If photosynthesis ceased, there would be little food other ganicmatter on the earth. Most ganisms would disappear. The earth’s atmospherewould no longer contain oxygen. Photosynthesis is essential f life on ourplanet.

      词汇:

    nutrient n.营养物

    ganism n.生物体,有机体

    carbon dioxide n.二氧化碳

    chloplast n.叶绿体

    molecule n.分子

    vap n.水蒸气

    oxygen n.氧气

    photosynthesis n.光合作用

    chlophyll n.叶绿素

    glucose n.葡萄糖

    cease v.停止

      注释:

    1.Then animals feed upon the plants.动物以植物为食。

    4.This passage is primarily developed by

    A.explaining a process.

    B.telling a sty.

    C.comparing contrasting.

    D.convincing the reader of plants’ imptance.


    答案:A
    解析:
    4.A 文章先是介绍了进行光合作用所需的原料和组织,又介绍了光合作用的过程,因此整个逻辑应该是解释过程,而不是讲故事或比较对比。D项是“向读者说明植物的重要性”,这确实是文章的一个目的,但不是文章的组织方式。

      练习:

    1.In the first paragraph,the wd “excess” means

    A.heavy.

    B.extra.

    C.green.

    D.liquid.


    答案:B
    解析:
    1.B 前文讲到,植物产生的氧气一部分被植物自身消耗了,但植物消耗的氧气量远小于它们产生的氧气,因此可以推测这句话的意思应该是剩余的氧气对于动物以及其他生物体的生存是至关重要的。excess在句中的意思是“超额的”,与extra“额外的”意思相近。

    填空题
    When you are starving, proteins can also be broken down into amino acids.____

    正确答案: H
    解析:
    根据题干信息“starving, proteins”可以定位到H段“In extreme cases (like starvation), proteins can also be broken down into amino acids”,故匹配段落为H段。

    判断题
    Natural systems can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere caused by carbon emissions.
    A

    B


    正确答案:
    解析:
    录音中指出随着碳排放量的增加,空气中二氧化碳的含量从1750年以来已经增加了31%,自然通常可以把大部分碳排放吸收到海洋和森林中去,从而减少空气中碳的积累,因此题干正确。
    【录音原文】
    As a result of the steady rise in carbon emissions, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased by 31% since l750—a rate unprecedented in the past 20, 000 years. Nature usually absorbs a large portion of these emissions in oceans and forests, known as “carbon sinks”, thereby slowing the rate of accumulation in the atmosphere. However, recent trends suggest that carbon emissions are outpacing absorption.
