Monitoring global warming usually requires a Ph. D. and enough maths to glaze yo

题文

Monitoring global warming usually requires a Ph. D. and enough maths to glaze your eyes. But that Francisco Lopez and Ruby Nostrant track(记录)what climate change is doing to five different plants in Tucson, Arizona and they are only in the second grade.
“We are collecting data because the weather is changing and the plants are blooming,” Ruby explained.
Scores of other students at Borton Primary Magnet School and Sunnyside High School in Tucson are heading outdoors to be part of a new scientific push to figure out how the biological timing of the earth is changing. It’s a research project that the average person, even a kindergartner, can join in.
The National Phenology(生物气候学)Network is calling on volunteers to help track early spring blooms and eventually changes in animals caused by global warming. It’s called Project Budburst. When it was first open to the public last year, thousands of people participated in 26 states.
“All people can contribute to it by tracking the timing of flowering events or leaf-out events for plants and animals in their backyard,” said Phenology Network director Jake Weltzin. He calls the volunteers “citizen-scientists.”
The idea is that tracking flowers blooming—especially lilacs(丁香); which everyday people have helped track for decades—is fairly simple. The Website http://www.Windows.ucar.edu/ citizen_science/budburst/index.html gives directions on what to look for in different parts of the country.
University of Maryland professor David Inouye said it’s so easy to figure out what’s blooming that a lack of special knowledge isn’t a problem.
University of Arizona ecology graduate student Lisa Benton coordinated(协调)the Tucson high school students as they looked at plants five minutes from their high school. Each student has specific guidelines and she’s been happy so far with the data she is getting. For his part, second-grader Francisco said he had fun helping out.
“I like going out in the desert,” he said. “I want to be an Einstein.”
小题1:Francisco Lopez and Ruby Nostrant are monitoring global warming by __________.A.watching early spring blooms and changes in animalsB.studying the biological timing of earthC.collecting data of the local weatherD.tracking the early spring blooms of some local plants小题2:Those who participate in Project Budburst are mostly ___________.A.ecology college graduatesB.high school studentsC.common peopleD.experts小题3:What David Inouye says suggests that ____________.A.the study carried out by students is convincingB.the students still need special training to study climate changeC.it is difficult to study climate changeD.to figure out what’s blooming needs special knowledge小题4:Who is primary school student joining in the Project Budburst?A.Lisa Benton.B.David InouyeC.Francisco Lopez.D.Jake Weltzin.小题5:We can conclude from the passage that _______.A.changes in animals caused by global warming happen earlier than those in plantsB.the biological timing of earth is changing because of climate changeC.the effect of climate change in Tucson, Arizona can be hardly noticedD.all the plants in Tucson, Arizona are blooming earlier because of climate change 题型:未知 难度:其他题型

答案


小题1:D
小题2:C
小题3:A
小题4:C
小题5:B

解析


本文介绍了大众普通人可以参加监测全球变暖导致的生物时间的变化。参加监测全球变暖一般需要博士学位和高深的数学知识,但是Project Budburst 可以让志愿者参加,可以是大学生,中学生甚至是小学生都可以。因为有专门的网站进行专业的指导,所以普通人所做的研究令人信服。
小题1:细节理解题。从第二段的“We are collecting data because the weather is changing and the plants are blooming,” Ruby explained.可知他们正在收集有关天气变化和植物盛开的数据。故选D。
小题2:推理判断题。从第四段的When it was first open to the public last year, thousands of people participated in 26 states.可知去年Project Budburst 第一次对公众开放时,26个州成千上万的人参加了。所以参加这个工程的是大众普通人。故选C。
小题3:推理判断题。第六段的gives directions on what to look for in different parts of the country.专门有网站给指导。第七段的University of Maryland professor David Inouye it’s so easy to figure out what’s blooming that a lack of special knowledge isn’t a problem. David Inouye说,找出盛开的花是如此容易,缺乏专业的知识不是一个问题。可知在有指导的情况下,学生做的研究有说服力。故选A。
小题4:细节理解题。从第八段的For his part, second-grader Francisco said he had fun helping out可知Francisco是小学二年级的学生。故选C。
小题5:推理判断题。从第四段的The National Phenology(生物气候学)Network is calling on volunteers to help track early spring blooms and eventually changes in animals caused by global warming. 可知全球变暖导致春天开花时间的变化。故选B。
考点:

考点

据考高分专家说,试题“Monitoring global wa.....”主要考查你对 [科教类阅读 ]考点的理解。

科教类阅读

科教类阅读的概念:

科教类阅读主要考查考生对书面语篇的整体领悟能力和接受及处理具体信息的能力。试题的取材,密切联系当前我国和世界经济、科技等方面的变化,有关数据的来源真实可信。

科教类文章阅读技巧:

一、材料特点:
这类文章的总体特点是:科技词汇多,句子结构复杂,理论性强,逻辑严谨。具体说来它有以下几个特点:
1、文章中词汇的意义比较单一、稳定、简明,不带感情色彩,具有单一性和准确性的特点。这类文章通常不会出现文学英语中采用的排比、比喻、夸张等修辞手法,一词多义的现象也不多见。
2、句子结构较复杂,语法分析较困难。为了描述一个客观事物,严密地表达自己的思想,作者经常会使用集多种语法现象于一体的长句。
3、常使用被动语态,尤其是一些惯用被动句式。

二、命题特点:
科普类阅读的主要命题形式有事实细节题、词义猜测题、推理判断题以及主旨概括题等,其中推理判断题居多。

三、应对策略:

1、要想做好科普英语阅读理解题,同学们就要注意平时多读科普知识类文章,学习科普知识,积累常见的科普词汇,从根本上提高科普英语的阅读能力。
2、要熟悉科普类文章的结构特点。科普类文章一般由标题(Head line),导语(Introduction),背景(Back ground),主体(Main body)和结尾(End)五部分构成。标题是文章中心思想高度而又精辟的概括,但根据历年的高考情况来看,这类阅读理解材料一般不给标题,而要同学们选择标题。导语一般位于整篇文章的首段。背景交待一个事实的起因。主体则对导语概括的事实进行详细叙述,这一部分命题往往最多,因此,阅读时,同学们要把这部分作为重点。结尾往往也是中心思想的概括,并与导语相呼应,命题者常在此要设计一道推理判断题。
3、在进行推理判断时,同学们一定要以阅读材料所提供的科学事实为依据,同时所得出的结论还应符合基本的科普常识。

科普类阅读应试策略:

命题趋势
阅读理解题主要考查考生对书面语篇的整体领悟能力和接受及处理具体信息的能力。试题的取材,密切联系当前我国和世界经济、科技等方面的变化,有关数据的来源真实可信。因此科普知识类文章是每年的必考题。分析历年的科普类文章我们不难发现以下特点:
1、文章逻辑性强,条理清楚,语法结构简单,用语通俗。
2、文章内容注重科技领域的新发现。内容新颖,从而使文章显得陌生,内容抽象复杂。
3、命题方面注意对具体细节的准确理解和以之为依据的推理判断。
4、以人们的日常行为或饮食健康入手,探讨利弊,诠释过程,阐述概念。
应试对策
许多考生在考试时感到困惑的是:为什么一些没有超越中学语法和词汇范围的篇章,读起来却不能正确理解,或者要花费很多时间才能读懂呢?这种现象的产生与阅读方法有很大的关系。例如,有的考生在考试时一见到文章就立刻开始读,结果读了半天,还不知道短文讲的是什么,试题要求了些什么,结果浪费了大量的时间,而阅读效果并不好。那么,怎样读效果才好呢?任何一种阅读方法或技巧的使用,都是由篇章特点和试题本身的要求决定的,应根据不同的体裁和试题要求采取不同的策略。
1、浏览。浏览的主要目的就是确定文章的体裁。如果文章属于人物传记、记叙文、故事、科普小品和有关社会文化、文史知识的文章,一般来说,应该先看看文章的试题考查内容,对题目类型做到心中有数,针对不同问题,在通读时有粗有细地去阅读,这样不仅能把握篇章的基本结构和逻辑线索,也能做好有关具体事实信息考查的试题。
2、挖掘寓意,掌握中心思想,推出结论。任何文章,作者在行文时都有一定的写作目的和主要话题。在通读篇章时应该吃透作者的写作意图,抓住文章的主题句,充分发挥自己的想象力和概括力,作出对中心思想的归纳和结论的推断。
3、把握篇章结构,利用上下文进行推测。高考中的阅读理解篇章往往是一个较完整的短文,其结构、思想,前后上下连贯统一。考试时应充分利用这一特点推测一些生词、短语在句中的含义,切莫盲目孤立猜测。
4、综观全篇,前后呼应。这是阅读理解的最后一步,在做完阅读理解题后,要立足于文章整体,再迅速读一遍短文,短文中的问题和答案的设置前后都是相关联的,有着一定的连续性,体现着文章的基本脉络。
