内化读文技法
关注说明文的行文结构
本文是一篇说明文，采用递进式的行文结构，按照“提出问题—分析原因及影响—提出解决办法”的顺序由浅入深，层层递进。作者首先使用统计图表直观展示气候变化的趋势，同时使用饿死的北极熊的例子和照片来具体说明气候变暖的影响，从而帮助读者初步感知气候变暖给地球带来的负面影响。第三段客观地探讨了气候变暖背后的原因；第四段分析了气候变暖的后果；文章最后，作者呼吁世界各国政府携起手来，共同制定政策，采取措施减少温室气体的排放。在阅读分析原因及影响的内容时要特别关注but或however之后的内容，因为作者真正想说的内容在but或however之后，这也是出题人经常设题的位置。
(一)赏用词之妙
1．According to the scientists who found its dead body, all that remained of the polar bear was “skin and bones”．
赏析：作者用“skin and bones”形象地表达出北极熊惨不忍睹的状况。
2．When people produce huge amounts of extra greenhouse gases by burning fossil fuels, more heat energy is trapped in the atmosphere and causes Earth's surface temperature to rise quickly.
赏析：“trapped”这个词用得非常巧妙，它有“困住”“捕捉”的意思，生动形象地表现出热量被限制在大气层中无法逸散的状态，增强了表达的感染力和画面感。
仿写训练/完成句子
①We should take action to protect our environment before our earth ________________________________.
我们应该采取行动来保护我们的环境，以免我们的地球变得骨瘦如柴。
②The little bird ______________________， but with the help of kind hearted people, it was eventually freed.
那只小鸟被困在了网里，但在善良的人们的帮助下，它最终自由了。
(二)赏句式之高
Experts claimed that low sea ice levels caused by climate change meant the bear could not hunt seals as before, so it had to travel greater distances in order to find food.
赏析：“that low ... find food”为that 引导的宾语从句。在宾语从句中，“caused by climate change”为过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰low sea ice levels；“the bear ... as before”为省略了引导词that的宾语从句。
We all believe ______________________________________________________________， will always be a beautiful home for us to cherish and protect with our efforts.
我们都相信，这个被绿水青山环绕的地球，将永远是我们用努力去珍惜和保护的美丽家园。
(三)赏衔接之顺
There is strong and comprehensive evidence ..., not only causing serious damage, but also costing human lives ... In fact, news reports are frequently broadcast about extreme rainstorms and heatwaves causing deaths and economic losses.
赏析：本段文字是对影响和后果的紧迫性分析，通过使用not only ...but also, In fact等，说明气温上升已导致世界范围内极端天气和自然灾害的增加。
①By burning tree branches, pine needles, and pine cones, many people ____________________________________ in the house.
通过燃烧树枝、松针和松果，许多人不仅给屋子供暖，而且还改善屋内的气味。
②______________， we all know that the earth is our home, and if we don't take measures to protect the environment, what awaits us in the future will be a world full of pollution and destruction.
事实上，我们都知道地球是我们的家园。如果我们不采取措施保护环境，那么未来等待我们的将是一个充满污染和破坏的世界。
(四)赏结尾之翘
So what will you do to help
赏析：以问题“那么，你会做些什么来贡献力量呢？”来结束本文，既能引发读者对气候变化的深入思考，加强读者的互动，又能再次强调主旨“气候变化需要全世界的关注”。
我们大部分人都意识到要保护环境，也采取了各种行动节约能源，减少浪费和污染。但是近来，一些“绿色环保真相”被证实并非完全正确，甚至是无稽之谈。下面列举一些常见的环保观念，你知道哪些是正确的吗？
What's really green
Most of us are aware that we must take care of the environment, and the majority of us take steps to save energy and reduce waste and pollution. But recently, some “green truths” have been shown to be only half true, or even completely false. Here are some common ones.Which are really green
？Paper shopping bags are better than plastic ones.
Plastic bags cause litter and are a danger to wild animals, which mistake them for food. It takes hundreds of years for plastic to break down, but much less time for paper. Because of this, people think paper bags are the better environmental choice.
However, making a paper bag uses four times as much energy as making a plastic bag and up to three times the amount of water.The process also produces more greenhouse gases.
In fact, both kinds of bags are bad for the environment. So, take a reusable bag with you when you go shopping.
？When you turn off a device, it stops using power.
When we turn off a device, such as television, it goes into stand-by mode. Devices in this mode still use power, and older devices in stand-by mode can use even more. electricity continues to leak from the device, even when it is turned “off”. To make sure your appliance is in fact off, remove the plug from its power supply.
？Eating local food is good for the environment.
It seems like common sense：eating local food should be better for the environment, because it does not need to be transported long distances and kept cold during transport. Unfortunately, it is not that simple. and produces most of the greenhouse gases. In some cases, and produced more greenhouse gases than produce grown a long way away — even taking into account its transport.
？It's better to take a shower than a bath.
It depends on how long you spend in the shower and how large your bath is. If you spend more than eight minutes in a shower, you'll use as much water as in a bath — about 50 litres of water. Therefore, the key is to keep your shower time as short as possible.
Environmental awareness is now part of daily life. But it's worth checking common ideas and opinions to see what's really green.

Live with roommates Have friends and family around you Chances are that if you're looking to live a more sustainable lifestyle, not everyone around you will be ready to jump on that bandwagon.
No.4 课时跟踪检测
I experienced this when I started switching to a zero waste lifestyle five years ago, as I was living with my parents, and I continue to experience this with my husband, as he is not completely zero waste like me.I've learned a few things along the way though, which I hope you'll find encouraging if you're doing your best to figure out how you can make the change in a not-always-supportive household.
Zero waste was a radical lifestyle movement a few years back.I remember showing my parents a video of Bea Johnson, sharing how cool I thought it would be to buy groceries with jars, and have so little trash! A few days later, I came back with my first jars of zero waste groceries, and my dad commented on how silly it was for me to carry jars everywhere.It came off as a bit discouraging.
Yet as the months of reducing waste continued, I did what I could that was within my own reach.I had my own bedroom, so I worked on removing things I didn't need.Since I had my own toiletries (洗漱用品), I was able to start personalising my routine to be more sustainable.I also offered to cook every so often, so I portioned out a bit of the cupboard for my own zero waste groceries.Perhaps your household won't entirely make the switch, but you may have some control over your own personal spaces to make the changes you desire.
As you make your lifestyle change, you may find yourself wanting to speak up for yourself if others comment on what you're doing, which can turn itself into a whole household debate.If you have individuals who are not on board, your words probably won't do much and can often leave you feeling more discouraged.
So here is my advice: Lead by action.

A new study from the University of Southampton has shown that glass bottles are more than four times as environmentally damaging as plastic bottles. The researchers explained that the production of glass bottles involves much greater amounts of energy and natural resources.
Most current research focuses on the impact of plastic, which also requires a lot of energy to mass-produce, and breaks down into smaller particles (微粒) that are affecting natural environments worldwide.However, according to the new study, glass bottles' total environmental impacts are much bigger than plastic bottles, when certain factors are accounted for, such as their contribution to climate change through overmuch energy use.
“A large amount of energy is needed to heat the raw materials to make glass，” explained study co-author and postgraduate researcher Alice Brock.“During the melting of the raw materials for glass, gas pollutants such as SO2 and CO2 can be released，” said Brock.“And since glass requires materials to be mined for its production — silica sand, soda ash and dolomite — these have all the associated environmental impacts on mining such as land degradation (退化) and dust from the mines reaching water sources.”
According to Brock, silica sand mining can also cause silicosis, a disease caused by tiny silica particles reaching lungs, so there is also a considerable impact on human health.
The major advantage of glass over plastic is that it is more durable (耐用的)．A glass bottle can be reused between 12 and 20 times.Unfortunately, glass bottles are often thrown away after a single use.“I think the meaning of this new study is that we really have to move to use bottles and cans more than once.Just recycling isn't enough，” said Brock, “We need to change our mindset and move to things like refilling bottles, bottle return plans and the like if we are going to cut these environmental impacts.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了南安普顿大学的一项新研究表明，玻璃瓶对环境的破坏是塑料瓶的四倍多。专家建议尽可能重复使用玻璃瓶。
5．What is the most current research mainly about
A．The total energy consumption of making plastic.
B．The detailed production process of plastic.
C．Plastic's popularization in people's daily life.
D．Plastic's negative impacts on the environment.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段开头“Most current research focuses on the impact of plastic ... affecting natural environments worldwide.”可知，当前最新的研究主要是关于塑料对环境的负面影响。
6．Why is the mining of raw materials mentioned in paragraph 3
A．To show its damage to the environment and people's health.
B．To stress the importance of the quality of raw materials.
C．To warn people to reduce the frequency of mining.
D．To indicate the complex process of making glass.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“these have all the associated environmental impacts ...so there is also a considerable impact on human health.”可知，提到原材料开采是为了说明其对环境和人们健康的损害。
7．What's Alice Brock's suggestion based on the new study
A．Improving the technology of treating used bottles.
B．Finding alternatives to the raw materials for glass.
C．Reusing glass bottles as much as possible.
D．Replacing glass bottles with plastic ones.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中Brock说的话“I think the meaning of this new study is that we really have to move to use bottles and cans more than once.”可知，根据这项新研究，Alice Brock的建议是尽可能重复使用玻璃瓶。
8．Which section of a magazine does the text probably come from
A．Economy. B．Geography.
C．Healthcare. D．Environment.
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“A new study from the University of Southampton has shown that glass bottles are more than four times as environmentally damaging as plastic bottles.”并结合全文内容可推知，文章可能摘自杂志的“环境”部分。

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Don't Get Lost in the Term of Eco-tourism
Given that tourism produces harmful emissions, the term “green travel” can seem contradictory.Green travel will not solve the climate crisis, but knowing what to look for can allow you to make choices that do less harm and more good if you do choose to travel. 9
Don't get hung up on the terms.
The key to better understanding and identifying sustainable travel options is recognizing that it's actually actions — not words — that matter.Definitions can vary from person to person. 10
Ask questions.
Before you book a tour or hotel, prepare questions.For example: Do they support the local economy Are they ensuring the preservation of the natural environment 11 However, if you can't find answers on the website, contact the property or tour operator directly.
12
You don't have to plan a responsible travel and the ever-changing term alone.Contact organizations that provide training, accreditation and transparent standards.You can also join responsible travel communities on social media, where you can ask questions, share resources and learn alongside other travelers who share your values.
Start now.
You can't do everything at once right away.Decide what you can do.Maybe it's contributing to a conservation or community project. 13 Anyway, when you know better, do better.
A．Lean on and learn from others.
B．Find an operator who shares your personal values.
C．But it's the truth behind the term that really matters.
D．Ask what the local government can provide you with.
E．Search for the answers such as data and policies on a company's website.
F．Here are some expert tips on how to understand the vocabulary of green travel.
G．Maybe it's immersing yourself in one destination rather than rushing around to see three.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几种理解和践行真正生态旅游的建议。
9．选F 根据上文可知，本句为过渡句，起承上启下的作用。根据文章标题和后文的小标题可知，本文主要介绍了几种理解和践行真正生态旅游的建议。故F选项符合语境。
10．选C 根据上文可知，每个人对这个术语的定义都不一样，因此定义不重要，定义背后隐藏的真相才重要。故C选项“但真正重要的是这个词背后的真相”承接上文，符合语境。

Live with roommates Have friends and family around you Chances are that if you're looking to live a more sustainable lifestyle, not everyone around you will be ready to_jump_on_that_bandwagon.
I experienced this when I started switching to a zero waste lifestyle five years ago, as I was living with my parents, and I continue to experience this with my husband, as he is not completely zero waste like me.I've learned a few things along the way though, which I hope you'll find encouraging if you're doing your best to figure out how you can make the change in a not always supportive household.
Zero waste was a radical lifestyle movement a few years back.I remember showing my parents a video of Bea Johnson, sharing how cool I thought it would be to buy groceries with jars, and have so little trash! A few days later, I came back with my first jars of zero waste groceries, and my dad commented on how silly it was for me to carry jars everywhere.It came off as a bit discouraging.
Yet as the months of reducing waste continued, I did what I could that was within my own reach.I had my own bedroom, so I worked on removing things I didn't need.Since I had my own toiletries (洗漱用品), I was able to start personalising my routine to be more sustainable.I also offered to cook every so often, so I portioned out a bit of the cupboard for my own zero waste groceries.Perhaps your household won't entirely make the switch, but you may have some control over your own personal spaces to make the changes you desire.
As you make your lifestyle change, you may find yourself wanting to speak up for yourself if others comment on what you're doing, which can turn itself into a whole household debate.If you have individuals who are not on board, your words probably won't do much and can often leave you feeling more discouraged.
So here is my advice: Lead by action.
1．What do the underlined words “jump on that bandwagon” mean in the first paragraph
A．Share an apartment with you.
B．Join you in what you're doing.
C．Transform your way of living.
D．Help you to make the decision.
2．What was the attitude of the author's father toward buying groceries with jars
A．He disapproved of it.
B．He was favorable to it.
C．He was tolerant of it.
D．He didn't care about it.

4．What is the text mainly about

C．How to live a zero waste lifestyle in a household.
D．How to control the budget when buying groceries.

A new study from the University of Southampton has shown that glass bottles are more than four times as environmentally damaging as plastic bottles. The researchers explained that the production of glass bottles involves much greater amounts of energy and natural resources.
Most current research focuses on the impact of plastic, which also requires a lot of energy to mass produce, and breaks down into smaller particles (微粒) that are affecting natural environments worldwide.However, according to the new study, glass bottles' total environmental impacts are much bigger than plastic bottles, when certain factors are accounted for, such as their contribution to climate change through overmuch energy use.
“A large amount of energy is needed to heat the raw materials to make glass，” explained study co author and postgraduate researcher Alice Brock.“During the melting of the raw materials for glass, gas pollutants such as SO2 and CO2 can be released，” said Brock.“And since glass requires materials to be mined for its production — silica sand, soda ash and dolomite — these have all the associated environmental impacts on mining such as land degradation (退化) and dust from the mines reaching water sources.” According to Brock, silica sand mining can also cause silicosis, a disease caused by tiny silica particles reaching lungs, so there is also a considerable impact on human health.
The major advantage of glass over plastic is that it is more durable (耐用的)．A glass bottle can be reused between 12 and 20 times.Unfortunately, glass bottles are often thrown away after a single use.“I think the meaning of this new study is that we really have to move to use bottles and cans more than once.Just recycling isn't enough，” said Brock, “We need to change our mindset and move to things like refilling bottles, bottle return plans and the like if we are going to cut these environmental impacts.”
5．What is the most current research mainly about
A．The total energy consumption of making plastic.
B．The detailed production process of plastic.
C．Plastic's popularization in people's daily life.
D．Plastic's negative impacts on the environment.
6．Why is the mining of raw materials mentioned in paragraph 3
A．To show its damage to the environment and people's health.
B．To stress the importance of the quality of raw materials.
C．To warn people to reduce the frequency of mining.
D．To indicate the complex process of making glass.
7．What's Alice Brock's suggestion based on the new study
A．Improving the technology of treating used bottles.
B．Finding alternatives to the raw materials for glass.
C．Reusing glass bottles as much as possible.
D．Replacing glass bottles with plastic ones.
8．Which section of a magazine does the text probably come from
A．Economy. B．Geography.
C．Healthcare. D．Environment.

Don't Get Lost in the Term of Eco tourism
Given that tourism produces harmful emissions, the term “green travel” can seem contradictory.Green travel will not solve the climate crisis, but knowing what to look for can allow you to make choices that do less harm and more good if you do choose to travel.__9__
Don't get hung up on the terms.
The key to better understanding and identifying sustainable travel options is recognizing that it's actually actions — not words — that matter.Definitions can vary from person to person.__10__
Ask questions.
Before you book a tour or hotel, prepare questions.For example: Do they support the local economy Are they ensuring the preservation of the natural environment __11__ However, if you can't find answers on the website, contact the property or tour operator directly.
__12__
You don't have to plan a responsible travel and the ever changing term alone.Contact organizations that provide training, accreditation and transparent standards.You can also join responsible travel communities on social media, where you can ask questions, share resources and learn alongside other travelers who share your values.
Start now.
You can't do everything at once right away.Decide what you can do.Maybe it's contributing to a conservation or community project.__13__ Anyway, when you know better, do better.
A．Lean on and learn from others.
B．Find an operator who shares your personal values.
C．But it's the truth behind the term that really matters.
D．Ask what the local government can provide you with.
E．Search for the answers such as data and policies on a company's website.
F．Here are some expert tips on how to understand the vocabulary of green travel.
G．Maybe it's immersing yourself in one destination rather than rushing around to see three.
