题文
Sustainable management is seen as a practical and economical way of protecting species from dying out. Instead of depending on largely ineffective laws against poaching (偷猎), it gives local people a good economic reason to preserve plants and animals. In Zimbabwe, for instance, there is a sustainable management project to protect elephants. Foreign tourists pay large sums of money to kill these animals for sports. This money is then given to the inhabitants of the area where the hunting takes place. In theory, locals will be encouraged to protect elephants, instead of poaching them because of the economic benefit involved.This sounds like a sensible strategy, but it remains to be seen whether it will work. With corruption in these developing countries, some observers are skeptical that the money will actually reach the people it is intended for. Others wonder how effective the locals will be at stopping poachers.
There are also questions about whether sustainable management is practical when it comes to protecting forests. In theory, the principle should be the same as with elephants --- allow logging companies to cut down certain number of trees, but not so many as to completely destroy the forest.
Sustainable management of forests requires controls on the number of trees which are cut down, as well as investment in replacing them. Because almost all tropical forests are located in countries which desperately need funds from logging, there are few regulations and motive to do this.
One solution might be to confirm wood comes from sustainably managed forests. In theory, consumers would buy only this wood and so force logging companies to go "green" or go out of business. Unfortunately, unrestricted logging is so much more profitable that wood prices from managed forests would cost up to five times more --- an increase that consumers, no matter how "green", are unlikely to pay.
小题1:Which of the following statements is true in understanding the "sustainable management"?A．Sustainable management is usually used in commercial units.B．Sustainable management is more powerful than laws.C．We will probably meet many problems in the course of applying sustainable management.D．It is likely that sustainable management will replace the laws in protecting living things.小题2:The example of Zimbabwe is mentioned in the first paragraph is to ________.A．prove that sustainable management is ineffectiveB．explain what sustainable management isC．show that tourism there is boomingD．illustrate that people there are good at making money with elephants小题3:The phrase "go green" in Paragraph 5 probably means _______.A．a company begins to make money instead of being in redB．making the forests always green in colorC．operating in ways which do not damage the environmentD．starting from the very beginning小题4:What is the passage mainly about?A．What environmental protection mainly include.B．The feasibility (可行性) of sustainable management in environmental protection.C．Different people’s attitudes towards sustainable management.D．How people can protect animals and plants.小题5:What attitude does the author take towards the sustainable management?A．Positive.B．Pessimistic.C．Negative.D．Uncertain. 题型：未知 难度：其他题型
答案
小题1:C

小题4:B
小题5:D
解析
小题1:由题干关键词sustainable management可以定位到文章第二段首句This sounds like a sensible strategy, but it remains to be seen whether it will work.和第三段首句There are also questions about whether sustainable management is practical when it comes to protecting forests.可知，这两段是在介绍可持续管理是如何进行的及可能遇到的问题。
避错指导：A)文章所论述的是可持续管理用于环境保护，但没提到用于商业领域；B)第一段虽然提到反偷猎法有些低效，但并未说可持续管理比法律更有力；D)在文章并未提及。
小题2:推理判断题。由题干提示定位到第一段可知，该段第一、二句话解释了可持续管理的定义，接着就以津巴布韦为例来说明可持续管理到底是什么。因此B)符合提干要求。
避错指导：A)从津巴布韦的例子可以看到可持续管理还是有效的。C)文中未提及。D)并不是举此例的目的。
小题3:语义理解题。由题干提示定位到第五段第二句In theory, consumers would buy only this wood and so force logging companies to go "green" or go out of business.可知，消费者将只购买采伐可持续管理森林的木材，由此迫使伐木公司只有以保护森林为前提进行采伐才可以。
避错指导：A)文章未提及，也不是go green的意思。B)说的是字面意思。D)文章未提及。
小题4:主旨大意题。文章第一段首句Sustainable management is seen as a practical and economical way of protecting species from extinction.就提出话题，即可持续管理被认为是防止物种灭绝的可行而经济的方法。全文通过实例以及现有问题等进一步说明这种方法的可行性。
避错指导：A)、C)文中未提及。D)所说的太宽泛，这里只论述了保护动植物的一种方法。
小题5:观点态度题。纵观全文，作者在第二至五段都在探讨应用可持续管理可能会出现的问题，所以推断，作者对可持续管理的可行性持有怀疑态度。
避错指导：A)、B)和C)都不正确，虽然作者持怀疑态度，但并没有完全悲观或否定这种方法。

如何备考政治经济类阅读理解题：
【题型说明】政治经济类阅读文章是高考常选材料之一。该类文章时代气息浓郁，语言鲜活，但熟字新义词、超纲词及专业词语多，长句、难句多。政治类文章大多数是同学们感性趣的内容，读起来倒有似曾相识的感觉，经济类文章读起来就像是雾里看花，文章看完，一头雾水。再加之这类文章的命题侧重于词义猜测、推理判断和文章主旨，同学们对这类题材是望而生畏。
【备考策略】建立心理优势。针对不同体裁的文章，我们要采取相应的阅读方法和技巧。政治类文章多采用记叙文形式，我们可采取“顺读法”，以便抓关键语句，领会文章主旨；而经济类文章则多采用说明文形式，我们则可以采取“逆读法”，先读试题，再从文章中查找有用信息。若遇到的确难读的材料。千万不用着急，因为你觉得难，其他人也一定是同感。在高考前，我们就要有这种心理准备，高考试卷肯定有一、两篇难以阅读的材料。不过，我们平时可以有意识地从报刊杂志上找一些较难的阅读材料来阅读，以培养自己迎难而上的心理素质。
【答题方法】
1、寻找主干：
根据英语中五种基本句型结构，把句子中的主语、谓语、宾语、表语等主要成分找出来，其他成分如定语、状语、补语等则易于理解。找到了句子主干，句子的意思至少明白了一半。
2、剔除从句：
在一个长句中可能会出现若干个从句，在理解时，如果把各个从句剔除出来单独理解，然后把大意拼凑起来，整个长句的意思就会明白六、七分。
3、辨别分句：
一个长句如果是由几个并列、转折、递进、对比关系的分句组成，句中往往有表示这些分句关系的连接词，只要能弄清楚分句和分句之间的逻辑关系，再把各层分句的意思加以连贯，整个长句的句意基本上能跃然脑中。
4、寻找关键词：
如果一个句子看完，一点句意的感觉也没有，下下策就是抓住句中的关键词，通过关键词大体弄懂这个长句的意思。
