五、重点知识讲解
Let’s Protect The Environment
1. Global warming is the most serious problem we face in the 21st century. Most scientists have been saying that human activity, not natural factors, is the primary cause of the warming. Many people, both in China and abroad have realized that while we are developing the world, we are also destroying the land on which we are living. We see garbage sometimes thrown into streams that supply drinking water. We find forest fires caused by careless people. Beaches and city streets are littered with rubbish.
译文:
全球变暖是我们在21世纪面临的最严重的问题。大多数科学家认为人类活动,而不是自然因素,是引起全球变暖的主要原因。中国和其他国家的人们也都意识到,在发展世界的同时我们也在毁坏我们居住的陆地。我们看到有时垃圾被扔进提供饮用水的溪流,森林因人们的疏忽而起火。海滩、街道上是丢弃的垃圾。
1) Global warming 全球变暖
2) destroy the land 毁坏土(陆)地
3) throw into streams 扔进小溪
4) be littered with 在……充满垃圾
2. The more beautiful cars are produced, the more gases are poured into the air. More and more tall buildings are being built, but the waste from the factories has polluted the water, and the gases from the factories have poisoned the air. All of this pollution produces a lot of carbon dioxide which prevents heat from escaping.
译文:
人们生产出越来越多的漂亮汽车,向大气中排放着更多的废气。修建了越来越多的高楼大厦,但来自工厂的废料污染了水,来自工厂的废气污染了空气。所有这些污染都释放出了大量的二氧化碳,阻止了热量的释放。
1) pour into 涌入
2) more and more 越来越多
3) prevent heat from escaping 阻止散热
3. Light from the sun heats the earth’s atmosphere, oceans and land, making life on the earth possible. At the same time, a certain amount of heat goes into outer space so that the temperature of the earth is balanced. Nowadays less heat can escape because of the increasing levels of carbon dioxide. The surface temperature of the earth increased greatly over the last century. The warming increases with time, and could have many side effects.
译文:
太阳的射线给地球表面,海洋和陆地提供了热量,使地球上的生命得以延伸。同时,一定数量的热量释放到外太空,这样地球的温度得以保持平衡。现在由于大气中二氧化碳的含量逐年增加,所以释放的热量也在逐年减少。在过去的一个世纪中,地球表面的温度大幅度上升。全球变暖日趋严重,同时也带来了许多副作用。
1) a certain amount of heat 一定数量的热量
2) go into outer space 释放到外太空
3) so that 以便于
4) the surface temperature of the earth 地球表面的温度
5) have many side effects 有许多副作用
6) at the same time 同时
4. The side effects of global warming are surprising. A warmer global climate melts the ice caps and raises sea levels. Furthermore, it disturbs the weather and causes floods and storms.
译文:
全球变暖的副作用令人警觉。地球气温上升使冰盖融化,海平面上升。而且,它会扰乱天气状况,并引起洪水和暴风雨。
5. What can we do to save our environments? First, we can plant more trees. Trees can take in carbon dioxide and then produce oxygen. Second, we have to find new power, coal and oil should be used as little as possible because these sources would produce a lot of gases. Instead, we should try to make use of solar energy, wind power, hydrogen and some new sources of energy. Third, we can start environmental groups to tell people the importance of protecting the earth.
译文:
我们应该做些什么来拯救我们的环境?首先,我们可以多种树。树木可以吸收二氧化碳并产生氧气。其次,我们必须寻找新的能源。人们应该尽可能少地燃烧煤和石油。因为这些能源会向大气排放大量废气。我们应该尽量使用太阳能、风能、氢以及其他新的能源。最后,我们应该成立环保小组,以告知所有人保护地球的重要性。
知识点:
1) plant more trees 多种树
2) take in 吸收
3) be used as 作为……被使用

5) make use of solar energy 充分利用太阳能

三、阅读理解
**A
Yesterday the police were joined by more than 20 volunteers in the continuing search for the two missing teenagers, Vicky Gray and Tom Hunter, and their guide, Gavin Jones. The police said that they had disappeared during an adventure (冒险) tour of Cape York Peninsula.
This was the second day of the search and the police were now very worried about the safety of the three missing people.
The police said that the search had covered a wide area, but the rainforest was thick and their work was made harder by the recent rain. Later on Chief Inspector (警官) Roger Fleet said, “The travellers had a radio with them. If they had been in trouble, they would have called us.”
The three travellers left Cooktown very early on Saturday morning in a Toyota car. They took a small dirt road that runs down to the Daintree River, a dangerous river full of crocodiles (鳄鱼). Chief Inspector Roger Fleet said the tourists wouldn’t have got into trouble if they had stayed on the main road.
A photo of Vicky and Tom was found by a policeman under the “Be Careful about crocodiles” sign near the river. Why was the photo left behind? This is just one of the unanswered questions. Other questions are: Why was the photo left behind? Why was the Toyota parked and locked at the edge of the rainforest? The police said that the travelers had left a map of the area behind. Why? Why had someone drawn a cross on the point (地点) where the car is? Is this a sign? What does it mean? If anyone can give information or has seen these three young people, contact the local police in Cooktown.
35. This article is probably taken from ___________.
A. a newspaper B. a magazine C. a storybook D. a guidebook
36. Which word best describes the search of the three missing people?
A. Helpless B. Hard C. Delightful D. Successful
37. Which of the following things wasn’t found by the police?
A. A touring map. B. A photo of the travelers.
C. The travelers’ radio. D. The travelers’ car
38. All the following are unanswered questions except_____________.
A. why they left a photo behind
B. why they came to this area
C. why their Toyota was parked in the place
D. why a cross was drawn on the map
*B
Where in the world can you take an hour’s train ride, and pass a forest, a London street, a scene from the Wild West, and a burning building that never burns down? There’s only one place, and that’s Hollywood, in California. The scenes you see from the tourist train are film sets(布景) in the Universal Studios, one of the oldest and largest movie companies(公司) in the USA.
A visit to Universal Studios brings back memories of great days of Hollywood, the films and the stars. But they are only memories. Hollywood isn’t quite the same as it used to be. Costs have gone up and confidence has gone down. Movie-makers are afraid to spend their money on expensive new ideas. Instead, they repeat old ones.
The film industry is changing fast. Teenagers still go out to the movies. The theatre is a good place to meet friends away from home. But older people mostly stay home to watch series, like Dynasty have become as important to Hollywood as expensive movies. These “soap opera”, as they are called, show rich, powerful families living in beautiful homes and wearing beautiful clothes. But the actors and actresses are nearly all middle-aged, like many of the people who watch them.
Though it is soap operas that are keeping the film-makers of Hollywood in Business, big films are still being made in America. But more and more of them are made outside Hollywood. New York is the most important new center, but there are many others as well. Movie-makers have realized that they don’t need Hollywood any more. Modern cameras and real houses instead of expensively made copies in a studio. Other states, especially Florida and Texas, are working hard to take the film business away from California. They are offering better working conditions and lower cost.
But Hollywood is fighting back. The state of California is trying hard to keep its best-known industry.
39. From the passage, we know Universal Studios is ___________.
A. a very large park
B. a busy London street
C. a famous movie company
D. an old Hollywood movie
40. The movie industry in California isn’t as successful as before because _____________.
A. young people don’t go to movie theatres any more
B. there is strong competition from other states
C. its movie companies are in need of young stars
D. the state hasn’t put a development plan into action
41. Which of the following seems to be a threat(威胁)to Hollywood?
A. The use of modern cameras and other equipment
B. The interest of middle-aged film stars
C. The making of TV series like Dynasty
D. The expensively made copies of scenes
42. What can we learn about “soap operas” from the passage?
A. They are teenagers’ favorit
