[解析] 句意为:在6个月的空间站之旅中,这名宇航员确认了空间站建设的关键技术,包括航天器在轨换位和机械臂操作重载荷。分析句子可知,设空处应用非谓语动词,technologies和involve之间是逻辑上的主动关系,故填involving。

背景导入:本文介绍了环境保护、资源的种类以及人与环境保护之间的关系。有些资源是可再生资源,比如动植物,但是可再生资源也可能被破坏。有些资源是不可再生资源,比如煤和石油这些化石燃料;人们可以通过谨慎使用它们来保护这些不可再生资源。同时,人们也可以寻找其他的资源来替代它们。环境保护很难,因为它需要人们放弃一些便利设施,金钱也是一个主要原因。每个人都应该为环境保护贡献自己的力量。
阅读技巧:通过上下文语境猜测词义;通过关键词总结文章大意、概括文章标题。

【译文】
环境保护指的是保护大自然中的事物。这需要合理利用地球上所有的自然资源。关注环境保护的人尽力去保护自然资源,以便这些自然资源未来也仍然存在。
一些资源是可再生的。比如动植物这样的生物就属于可再生资源,因为它们自己可以繁殖。但是可再生资源也可能被破坏或毁灭。例如,人们可能过度捕捞同一种鱼。如果没有留下足够的鱼去繁殖,该种类的鱼就有可能灭绝。环境保护帮助人们维持可再生资源的良好的供应量。
一些资源是不可再生的,这意味着它们不可替代。煤和石油等化石燃料就属于不可再生资源。人们可以通过谨慎使用它们来保护不可再生资源。人们也可以寻找其他起到相同作用的资源。
环境保护十分困难,因为这可能需要人们放弃一些便利设施。例如,汽车使出行变得容易,但它们也造成了大量的空气污染。为了拥有更清洁的空气,人们可以选择少开车,多走路。当人们已经习惯了某种生活方式时,这些改变可能会很难。
金钱是环境保护成为挑战的另一个原因。例如,一家木材公司或许可以通过限制砍伐树木的数量来保护森林动物。但该公司可能不愿意这样做,因为这样会使赚的钱变少。
每个人都可以通过各种方式为环境保护作出贡献。人们可以回收利用纸张、玻璃和其他材料。不同行业可以限制它们所制造的污染量。政府可以制定法律来帮助保持空气和水的洁净。
真题展示
[全国新高考Ⅰ2021·C篇] When the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North America, the skies and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife. Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely. Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources. Millions of waterfowl (水禽) were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat (栖息地).
In 1934, with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act (Act), an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory (迁徙的) waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their survival. Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J. N. “Ding” Darling, a political cartoonist from Des Moines, Iowa, who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey. Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources.
About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System—a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come. Since 1934, better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat. Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated.
【语篇导读】由于大量探险家和定居者的到来,北美水禽被大量捕杀,且其栖息地遭到严重破坏,为此政府于1934年通过法案以防止对野生动物和湿地的破坏,并取得明显成效。
1.What was a cause of the waterfowl population decline in North America ( )
A
A.Loss of wetlands. B.Popularity of water sports.
C.Pollution of rivers. D.Arrival of other wild animals.
[解析] 细节理解题。根据第一段中的Millions of waterfowl were killed at the hands of market hunters… Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to… greatly reducing waterfowl habitat. 可知,猎人的捕杀和湿地变干导致的栖息地的减少是水禽数量减少的重要原因。
2.What does the underlined word “decimate” mean in the first paragraph ( )
C
A.Acquire. B.Export. C.Destroy. D.Distribute.
[解析] 词义猜测题。根据第一段最后两句可知,大量水禽被捕杀,且随着居住人口的增加,大量湿地变干,水禽的栖息地也随之大大减少,从而导致了水禽数量减少。因此,此处指那些探险家和定居者毁坏了很多的自然资源。destroy意为“毁灭;破坏”,与画线词意思相近。
3.What is a direct result of the Act passed in 1934 ( )
D
A.The stamp price has gone down. B.The migratory birds have flown away.
C.The hunters have stopped hunting. D.The government has collected money.
[解析] 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句中的About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes… Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat和倒数第二句Since 1934, better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat. 可知,自1934年通过该法案以来,政府已募集了很多资金。
4.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text ( )
A
A.The Federal Duck Stamp Story B.The National Wildlife Refuge System
C.The Benefits of Saving Waterfowl D.The History of Migratory Bird Hunting
[解析] 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了北美水禽等野生动物遭遇猎杀及其栖息地被破坏后,政府通过一项法案以防止破坏的继续发生,并取得了明显成效。文章第二、三段介绍了联邦鸭票的起源、具体做法及成效,尤其是文章第三段最后一句,起到了点题的作用。故A项(联邦鸭票的故事)适合作本文标题。
【微技能】归纳文章标题的解题技巧
