A
(2016·河南省洛阳市统一考试)Heritage
is
our
legacy
(遗产)
from
the
past,
what
we
live
with
today,
and
what
we
pass
on
to
future
generations.
Our
cultural
and
natural
heritage
are
both
irreplaceable
(无可取代的)
sources
of
life
and
inspiration.
Places
as
unique
and
diverse
as
the
Pyramids
of
Egypt,
the
Great
Barrier
Reef
in
Australia
and
the
Great
Wall
of
China
make
up
our
world's
heritage.
The
United
Nations
Educational,
Scientific
and
Cultural
Organization
(UNESCO)
seeks
to
encourage
the
identification,
protection
and
preservation
of
cultural
and
natural
heritage
around
the
world
considered
to
be
of
outstanding
value
to
humanity.
This
is
embodied
in
an
international
treaty
called
the
Convention
Concerning
the
Protection
of
the
World
Cultural
and
Natural
Heritage,
adopted
by
UNESCO
in
1972.
How
does
a
place
become
a
World
Heritage
Site
It
takes
a
lot
of
people
to
decide.
1)If
a
country
wants
one
of
its
places
to
be
on
the
World
Heritage
List,
it
has
to
ask
UNESCO.
The
place
must
be
important
and
special.
UNESCO
put
the
Great
Wall
on
the
list
in
1987
because,
it
said,
it
was
a
great
part
of
Chinese
culture
and
beautifully
made
to
go
with
the
land.
When
a
country
asks,
it
must
also
make
a
plan
for
taking
care
of
the
place.
2)The
World
Heritage
Committee
of
UNESCO
talks
about
different
places
and
decides
whether
to
put
them
on
the
list.
The
committee
meets
every
June.
Many
experts
help
the
committee
to
decide.
3)After
a
new
place
goes
on
the
list,
UNESCO
gives
money
to
help
keep
it
looking
good.
If
a
place
is
in
serious
danger,
it
may
be
put
on
the
List
of
World
Heritage
Sites
in
Danger.
UNESCO
gives
special
care
and
help
to
those
places.
4)Countries
have
to
give
UNESCO
regular
reports
about
places
on
the
list.
If
UNESCO
thinks
a
country
isn't
taking
good
enough
care
of
a
place,
the
site
will
be
taken
off
the
list.

(2016·沈阳市高三质检)Where
should
an
adventurous
tourist
go
After
you've
done
sightseeing
in
London,
shopping
in
New
York,
tasted
the
local
food
in
Paris,
and
danced
to
your
heart's
content
at
the
Brazilian
Carnival,
where
else
can
you
go
What
exotic
(异国风情的)
tourist
destination
awaits
you
Well,
Antarctica
sounds
like
the
holiday
of
a
lifetime!
It's
considered
the
last
great
wilderness
on
Earth.
Just
a
few
scientists
in
research
stations
share
the
icy
landscape
with
penguins
and
other
animals
which
can
cope
with
the
low
temperatures.
Tourism
began
in
Antarctica
in
the
1950s
and
it's
still
a
small
scale.
About
37,000
tourists
are
expected
there
this
season,
but
many
won't
even
leave
the
boat.
The
BBC's
Juliet
Rix
visited
the
frozen
continent
and
asked
herself
if
she
should
be
there
at
all,
causing
potential
problems
to
such
a
sensitive
environment.
Her
tour
guide
admitted
that
all
visitors
leave
footprints
and
they
all
go
to
the
same
place,
the
accessible
coastline,
which
is
also
where
the
penguins
and
seals
go
to
breed.
But
some
people
believe
that
if
carefully
controlled,
tourism
can
be
good
for
Antarctica.
It
has
no
native
population
and
it
needs
advocates.
Visitors
to
the
icy
continent
might
be
ready
to
support
and
even
to
fund
its
preservation.
And
they're
likely
to
engage
in
the
discussion
about
global
warming,
which
has
led
to
the
melting
of
glaciers.
According
to
Rix,
guidelines
are
followed
when
you're
about
to
set
foot
in
Antarctica
and
tourists
have
to
disinfect
(为……消毒)
their
boots
to
make
sure
no
alien
species
are
introduced.
And
once
on
land,
there's
no
eating
or
smoking.
Rocks,
bone
fragments
—
nothing
should
be
taken
as
a
souvenir
and
nothing
should
be
left
behind.
Tourists
fortunate
enough
to
visit
Antarctica
must
be
aware
that
this
is
not
their
home
and
keep
their
fingers
crossed
that
future
generations
will
also
be
able
to
enjoy
such
breathtaking
views.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。游客应该去南极洲旅游吗？本文介绍了去南极洲旅游的情况和对游客的要求。
5．According

we
can
learn
that
________.
A．Antarctica
has
become
the
best
place
for
people
to
travel

can
be
allowed
to
go
to
Antarctica
C．Antarctica
is
less
affected
by
human
activities
D．no
animals
can
survive
in
Antarctica
except
penguins
解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第二段的第二句“It's
considered
the
last
great
wilderness
on
Earth.”可知，它被认为是地球上最后的不毛之地。由此可推知，南极洲受人类活动的影响较小。
6．Juliet
Rix's
travel
in
Antarctica
mentioned
in
the
fourth
paragraph
indicates
that
________.
A．governments
should
take
measures
to
stop
tourists
from
going
to
Antarctica
B．whether
tourists
should
go
to
Antarctica
or
not
should
be
considered
carefully
C．the
animals'
habitat
in
Antarctica
has
been
seriously
affected
by
tourism
D．only
journalists
begin
to
pay
attention
to
the
environmental
protection
in
Antarctica
解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第四段的“asked
herself
if
she
should
be
there
at
all,
causing
potential
problems
to
such
a
sensitive
environment”以及“Her
tour
guide
admitted
that
all
visitors
leave
footprints
and
they
all
go
to
the
same
place”可推知，人们是否应该去南极洲旅游应认真地考虑一下。

the
following
statements
is
TRUE
according
to
Rix
A．Tourists
can
eat
and
smoke
in
Antarctica.

take
something
they
like
from
Antarctica.
C．Tourists
can
throw
away
something
they
don't
need
in
Antarctica.
D．Tourists
can
enjoy
the
beautiful
scenery
in
Antarctica.
解析：选D　正误判断题。根据最后一段的“there's
no
eating
or
smoking.
Rocks,
bone
fragments
—
nothing
should
be
taken
as
a
souvenir
and
nothing
should
be
left
behind”可知，A、B、C三项的说法均与原文不符；根据文章结尾处“to
enjoy
such
breathtaking
views”可知，游客可以在南极洲欣赏到美丽的景色。
8．Which
of
the
following
is
the
best
title
of
this
passage
A．Why
can't
tourists
go
to
Antarctica
B．How
can
tourists
go
to
Antarctica
C．Should
tourists
go
to
Antarctica
D．Are
tourists
allowed
to
go
to
Antarctica
解析：选C　标题归纳题。通读全文的内容可知，文章围绕的是“应该不应该去南极洲旅游？”这一话题，因此C项最适合作标题。
C
(2016·甘肃省高三第一次诊断)Even
if
trees
cannot
walk,
they
are
still
on
the
move.
In
parts
of
the
Arctic,
entire
forests
are
moving
northward.
Across
the
Arctic,
temperatures
are
rising
faster
than
anywhere
else
in
the
world.
As
that
happens,
the
tree
line
that
marks
where
forests
stop
and
the
treeless
tundra
(冻原)
starts
has
been
shifting
northward.
Trees
growing
along
the
tree
line
must
protect
themselves
from
the
cold
wind.
To
do
this,_plants
tend
to
grow
horizontal
(水平的)
branches
low
to
the
ground.
The
energy
it
takes
for
trees
to
grow
this
way
means
they
don't
have
enough
energy
to
make
seeds.
But
as
Earth's
climate
has
been
warming,
trees
no
longer
have
to
just
grow
horizontally.
Many
can
instead
grow
up
toward
the
sky.
This
takes
less
energy.
And
with
all
that
leftover
energy,
these
trees
have
started
producing
more
seeds.
This
happens
especially
in
places
where
white
spruce
(白云杉)
grows.
White
spruce,
which
is
a
North
American
tree,
is
quite
able
to
produce
a
lot
of
seeds,
which
can
move
long
distances
in
the
wind.
When
wind blown
seeds
end
up
on
the
tundra
beyond
the
tree
line,
they
eventually
can
sprout(发芽)
new
trees.
This
explains
how
a
forest
can
move.
Of
course,
the
process
would
work
only
if
the
tundra
were
warm
enough.
But
in
recent
years,
the
whole
planet
has
been
warming.
New
trees
will
provide
shelters
for
some
snow.
Keeping
the
sun's
rays
from
making
the
white
surface
disappear.
Instead,
the
trees
absorb
the
sun's
heat.
This
warms
the
surrounding
air.
The
extra
warmth
encourages
even
more
trees
to
produce
seeds.
That
further
boosts
a
forest's
ability
to
expand.
In
addition,
more
trees
will
trap
more
snow,
preventing
much
of
it
from
being
blown
away.
Snow
can
trap
heat
in
the
soil
below,
which
encourages
trees
to
grow.
The
recent
rise
of
temperatures
has
helped
more
trees
grow
past
the
tree
line.
People
worry
about
impacts
on
the
animals
that
depend
on
frozen
conditions
for
food
and
shelter.
语篇解读：本文是一篇科研报告。主要研究了气温升高对北极圈植物的影响。
9．What
is
the
main
cause
of

northward
A．The
shrinking
of
northern
tundra.
B．The
rising
temperature.
C．The
fierce
and
cold
wind.
D．The
abundant
resources
in
the
north.
解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第二段的第二句“Across
the
Arctic,
temperatures
are
rising
faster
than
anywhere
else
in
the
world.”以及本段的整体内容可知，不断上升的气温是北极圈树木北移的主要原因，即B项正确。
10．What
does
the
underlined
word
“this”
in
Paragraph
2
mean
A．To
produce
more
seeds.
B．To
move
northward.
C．To
respond
to
the
climate
change.
D．To
protect
themselves
from
the
cold
wind.
解析：选D　代词指代题。根据画线词前的“Trees
growing
along
the
tree
line
must
protect
themselves
from
the
cold
wind.”可知，画线词this
指代的是本句中的“protect
themselves
from
the
cold
wind”，故D项正确。
11．What
can
be
inferred
from
the
last
paragraph
A．New
trees
can
trap
the
snow,
which
may
make
the
soil
colder.
B．The
trapped
snow
prevents
new
trees
from
producing
more
seeds.
C．New
trees
can
make
the
surrounding
air
warmer.
D．New
trees
can
bring
more
food
and
shelter
to
local
animals.
解析：选C　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“New
trees
will
provide
shelters
for
the
surrounding
air.”可推知，新树会让周围的空气更加温暖，故C项正确。
12．The
passage
is
most
probably
taken
from
________.
A．a
science
report
B．a
health
report
C．a
fashion
magazine
D．a
children's
magazine
解析：选A　文章出处题。根据文章的整体内容可推知，本文主要研究的是气候变暖对北极圈植物的影响，故该文应选自科研报告，故A项正确。
