A(2021·潍坊高二检测)More than one million single-use straws (吸管), most of them plastic, are used in the United States each day. They end up in waterways, harm sea animals, and break down into micro-plastic. Quantities of places have passed plastic-straw bans as a way to start handling the global plastic waste problem. 　　Straw materials: advantages and disadvantages　　Metal　　Made of stainless steel, aluminum, or even titanium, metal straws have become popular. They draw some criticism for having a metallic taste and conducting heat from a hot drink, but they’re strong and can be reused. 　　Paper　　Paper drinking straws, which date from the late 1800s, often absorb liquid over time and can leave a taste or fibers in drinks. They’re the most popular throwaway choice in places with plastic-straw bans. 　　Glass　　Though glass straws may be more breakable and thus less portable than reusable straws of other materials, they hold up well to washing and reuse. Some straws are made to look artistic, with colors and blown-glass designs. 　　Bamboo　　This natural material can be sustainably produced and is a plant-based replacement of plastic straws. Bamboo straws are easily disposed of and turned into fertilizer. They are reusable but can be hard to clean completely and may absorb flavors. 【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。

The squirrel stood in her way on the path. After realizing that the squirrel did not mean any harm and wasn’t going to leave her side, Powell turned around and the squirrel led her down the path to a baby squirrel with an injured leg. 　　At one point, Powell wasn’t sure she could help and she began walking and the squirrel followed her again and actually pulled her trouser leg! So, she fed the squirrels a sandwich she had with her and watched them try to jump up into a tree. When she realized the baby squirrel was still struggling to get up the tree, she decided to call in backup. Powell called the Pulaski Police Department. 　　Powell didn’t know how the baby squirrel got injured, but she thought a nearby street cat was the culprit (肇事者).

Not long after that, he decided to dedicate(献身) his life to this effort, so he moved to the site in order that he could work full-time creating a new forest ecosystem. Unbelievably, the spot today hosts a sprawling(蔓延的) 1360 acres of jungle that Payeng single-handedly planted. 　　The Times of India recently caught up with Payeng in his remote forest cottage to learn more about how he came to leave such an unbelievable mark on the landscape. 　　It all started way back in 1979, when floods washed a large number of snakes ashore on the sandbar. One day after the floods, Payeng, only 16 then, found the place dotted with the dead snakes. That was the turning point of his life. 　　“The snakes died in the heat without any tree cover. I sat down and wept over their lifeless bodies. I asked the forest department if they could grow trees there. They said nothing would grow there. Instead, they asked me to try growing bamboo. It was painful, but I did it. There was nobody to help me. Nobody was interested, ” says Payeng, now 47. 　　While it’s taken years for Payeng’s remarkable dedication to planting to receive some well-deserved recognition internationally, it didn’t take long for wildlife in the region to benefit from the forest. Demonstrating a keen understanding of ecological balance, Payeng even transplanted ants to his ecosystem to maintain its natural harmony. Soon the shadeless sandbar was transformed into a natural ecosystem. The forest, called the Molai woods, now serves as a safe habitat for numerous birds, deer, rhinos, tigers and elephants. 　　Despite Payeng’s outstanding project, forestry officials in the region first learned of this new forest in 2008, and since then they’ve come to recognize his efforts as truly remarkable, but perhaps not enough. 　　“We’re amazed at Payeng, ” says Gunin Saikia, Assistant Conservator of Forests. “He has been at it for 30 years. Had he been in any other country, he would have been made a hero. ” 【文章大意】这是一篇新闻报道类文体, 主要介绍了Payeng付出了30年的努力和汗水, 创造了一个新的森林生态系统来保护环境。

But if you had been there around 15, 000 years ago, during the last ice age, would it have been the same? For more than 30 years, scientists have been arguing about how rainforests might have reacted to the cold, dry climate of the ice ages, but till now, no one has reached a satisfying answer. Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to solve global warming. Currently the trees in the Amazon take in around 500 million tons of CO2 each year: equal to the total amount of CO2 given off in the UK each year. But how will the Amazon react to the future climate change? If it gets drier, will it survive and continue to draw down CO2? Scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainforest will manage in the future by understanding how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past. Unfortunately, collecting information is incredibly difficult. To study the past climate, scientists need to look at fossilized pollen (花粉) kept in lake mud. Going back to the last ice age means drilling down into lake sediment (沉淀物), which requires specialized equipment and heavy machinery. There are very few roads and paths, or places to land helicopters and aeroplanes. Rivers tend to be the easiest way to enter the forest, but this still leaves vast areas between the rivers completely unsampled (未取样). So far, only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice age and none of them provides enough information to prove how the Amazon forest reacts to climate change. 【文章大意】本文是一篇环境类的短文阅读。

文章主要介绍了科学家是如何在亚马孙热带雨林开展工作的, 以揭开亚马孙热带雨林的神秘之处32. How do scientists study the past climate change? A. By predicting the climate change in the future. B. By drilling down deep into land sediment. C. By taking samples from rivers in the Amazon. D. By analyzing fossilized pollen in lake mud. 【解析】选D细节理解题根据文中第三段 To study the past climate, scientists need to look at fossilized pollen kept in lake mud. 研究过去的气候变化, 科学家需要看保存在湖泥里的花粉化石33. What is needed for drilling down into lake sediment? A. The latest helicopter. B. The special equipment. C. The light machinery. D. The narrow path. 【解析】选B。

细节理解题根据文中的第三段 Going back to the last ice age means drilling down into lake sediment, which requires specialized equipment and heavy machinery. 回到上一个冰河时代意味着下钻到湖泊里的沉淀物, 这需要专门的设备和重型机械C 选项错在 light34. What is the purpose of writing the passage? A. To attract more people’s attention to CO2. B. To call on people to protect rainforests. C. To inform people of how scientists work on rainforests. D. To warn people to stay away from the danger of rainforests. 【解析】选C推理判断题这是一篇科普文章, 通常写作目的是提供信息A 选项是吸引更多人对二氧化碳的注意, 和文章无关; B 选项是号召人们保护雨林, 此文不是强调保护雨林; D 选项是警告人们远离雨林的危险, 文章没有讲到雨林的危险。

故选C35. The best title for the text may be_______.  A. Mystery of the RainforestB. Climates of the AmazonC. The History of the RainforestD. Changes of the Rainforest【解析】选A主旨大意题根据第一段 But if you had been there around 15, 000 year。
