高一生态系统英语阅读理解30题

高一生态系统英语阅读理解30题1<背景文章>Rainforests are one of the most remarkable ecosystems on Earth. They are characterized by their lush vegetation, high humidity, and abundant rainfall. The tropical rainforest is a home to an incredibly diverse range of plant and animal species.The biodiversity of rainforests is truly astonishing. There are thousands of different species of plants, from towering trees to delicate orchids. These plants provide food and shelter for a vast array of animals, including colorful birds, playful monkeys, slithering snakes, and many more. The complex web of life in the rainforest is a wonder to behold.However, rainforests are facing numerous threats. Deforestation is a major concern, as large areas of rainforest are being cleared for agriculture, logging, and urban development. This not only destroys the habitats of countless species but also contributes to climate change. Another threat is illegal hunting and poaching, which can lead to the decline of certain species.To protect rainforests, various measures need to be taken. Conservation organizations are working hard to raise awareness about the importance of rainforests and to promote sustainable practices.Governments can implement laws and regulations to protect rainforests and punish those who engage in illegal activities. Additionally, individuals can make a difference by reducing their consumption of products that contribute to deforestation.1. What is one of the characteristics of rainforests?A. Low humidityB. Scarce rainfallC. Lush vegetationD. Few plant species答案：C。

An international team of researchers from the University of Oxford have found that the way people use the Internet is closely tied to the seasonal movements in thenatural world. Their online species searches follow the patterns of seasonal animal migrations （迁徙）.Migratory birds （候鸟） flood back to where they reproduce every spring. That migratory behavior is accompanied by some human behavior. "In English-language Wikipedia （维基百科）, the online searches for migratory species tend to increase in spring when those birds arrive in the United States," said the lead author John Mittermeier.And not just birds. Mittermeier and his team surveyed nearly 2.5 billion Wikipedia search records, for 32,000 species, across 245 languages. They also saw variable search rates for insects, horsetails and flowering plants. Seasonal trends seemed to be widespread in Wikipedia behavior for many species of plants and animals.This finding suggests new ways to monitor changes in the world's biological diversity. It also shows new ways to see how much people care about nature, and which species and areas might be the most effective targets for conservation.Mittermeier is encouraged by the search results. He commented, "I think there's a concern among conservationists （生态环境保护者） that people are losing touch with the natural world and that they're not interacting with native species anymore. And so in that sense, it was really exciting and quite unexpected for me to see people's Wikipedia interest closely related to changes in nature."Richard Grenyer, Associate Professor from the University of Oxford, says search data is useful to conservation biologists, "By using these big data approaches, we candirect our attention towards the difficult questions in modern conservation: which species and areas are changing, and where are the people who care the most and can do the most to help."（1）What have researchers found about species searches?A.They strengthen ties among people.B.They affect the animal movements.C.They differ in language backgrounds.D.They reflect animal migration seasons.（2）What is the purpose of writing Paragraph 3?A.To summarize the research process.B.To further support the research findings.C.To show the variety of species searches.D.To present researchers' heavy work load.（3）How does Mittermeier feel about the search results?A.Satisfied with Wikipedia's service.B.Worried about Wikipedia behavior.C.Amazed at people's care about nature.D.Sad about people's not getting close to nature.（4）Why does Richard think such search data is useful?A.It helps to aim at conservation targets.B.It increases interest in big data approaches.C.It keeps track of trends in biologists' work.D.It pushes people to solve difficult problems.【答案】（1）D（2）B（3）C（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，牛津大学的一个国际研究小组发现，人们使用互联网的方式与自然界的季节性运动密切相关。

Against the supposition that forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia warm the climate, scientists have discovered that cooling may occur in areas where burnt trees allow more snow to mirror more sunlight into space.This finding suggests that taking steps to prevent northern forest to limit the release of greenhouse gases may warm the climate in northern regions. Usually large fires destroyed forestsin these areas over the past decade. Scientists predict that with climate warming, fires may occur more frequently over next several centuries as a result of a longer fire season. Sunlight taken inby the earth tends to cause warming, while heat mirrored back into space tends to cause cooling.This is the first study to analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climate. Earlier studies by other scientists have suggested that fire in northern regions speed up climate warming because greenhouse gases from burning trees and plants are released into the atmosphere and thus trap heat.Scientists found that right after the fire, large amounts of greenhouse gases entered the atmosphere and caused warming. Ozone (臭氧) levels increased, and ash from the fire fell on far-off sea ice, darkening the surface and causing more radiation from the sun to be taken in. The following spring, however, the land within the area of the fire was brighter than before the fire, because fewer trees covered the ground. Snow on the ground mirrored more sunlight back into space, leading to cooling."We need to find out all possible ways to reduce the growth of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere." Scientists tracked the change in amount of radiation entering and leaving the climate system as a result of the fire, and found a measurement closely related to the global air temperature. Typically, fire in northern regions occurs in the same area every 80 to 150 years. Scientists, however, found that when fire occurs more frequently, more radiation is lost from the earth and cooling results. Specifically, they determined when fire returns 20 years earlier than predicated, 0.5 watts per square meter of area burned are soaked up by the earth from greenhouse gases, but 0.9 watts per square meter will be sent back into space. The net effect is cooling. Watts are used to measure the rate at which energy is gained or lost from the earth.（1）According to the new findings, taking steps to prevent northern forest fires may ________.A. result in a warming climateB. cause the forest fires to occur more frequentlyC. lead to a longer fire seasonD. protect the forests and the environment there（2）The following are all the immediate effects after a forest fire EXCEPT ________.A. large amounts of greenhouse gases enter the atmosphereB. the levels of ozone which is a type of oxygen increaseC. snow on the ground mirrors more sunlight back into spaceD. ashes from the fire fall on the ice surface and take in more radiation from the sun（3）Earlier studies about northern forest fires ________.A. analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climateB. indicate that forest fires will pollute the atmosphereC. suggest that people should take measures to protect the environmentD. suggest that the fires will speed up climate warming（4）The underlined phrase "soak up" in the last paragraph most probably means ________.A. releasedB. absorbedC. createdD. distributed（5）From the passage we can draw a conclusion that forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia may ________.A. warm the climate as the supposition goesB. allow more snow to reflect more sunlight into space and thus cool the climateC. destroy large areas of forests and pollute the far-off sea iceD. help to gain more energy rather than release more energy【答案】（1）A（2）C（3）D（4）B（5）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了阿拉斯加、加拿大和西伯利亚的森林大火使气候变暖，科学家们已经发现，在燃烧的树木允许更多的雪将更多的阳光反射到太空的地区可能会发生冷却。

【生态环保、自然灾害类】话题阅读练习（一）（阅读理解10篇）Passage1Earth is in the middle of an insect crisis,with thousands of species declining over the past several decades. Scientists have often blamed this on habitat loss or pesticide（杀虫剂）use.But a new study of butterflies in the western United States has found that warmer fall weather may be an equal,if not more,of a factor.Over the past four decades,more than450butterfly species have declined at an average rate of nearly2percent a year,according to a study published in Science.It’s already known that the western monarch butterfly has plummeted in population by99.9percent and was recently denied protection by Endangered Species Act in the U.S. But the study revealed lesser-known species,like the Boisduval’s blue and California’s state insect,the California dogface butterfly,are heading toward extinction."The influence of climate change is driving those declines,which makes sense because they’re so widespread," says study leader Mathew Forister.To reach their troubling findings,the researchers combined databases of the butterfly count conducted by scientists and amateur insect enthusiasts at72locations in the western U.S.To focus on the contribution of climate change,the researchers made sure to include locations that were relatively undisturbed by agriculture and human development to limit the influence of other threats to butterflies such as habitat loss and pesticides.More than200cities across the U.S.are experiencing warmer fall seasons.In Arizona,for instance,fall temperatures have risen by0.2degree Fahrenheit every decade since1895.As for why warming falls are so harmful,it may be connected to butterflies’hibernation-like diapause(滞育）in the fall.Warmer temperatures could be forcing the insects,most of which live around a year,to stay awake longer and starve.In other words,they’re "getting old and fragile and dying sooner".Given that butterflies are key pollinators（传花粉者),such declines predict bigger problems for plants and even whole ecosystems.Forister adds,"The climate effects will almost certainly affect many other insects;including bees."And these effects will"damage"efforts to protect and restore butterfly habitat.1.What does the underlined word"plummeted"mean in Paragraph2?A.Recovered slowly.B.Decreased sharply.C.Escaped suddenly.D.Evolved rapidly.2.What did the researchers do in Paragraph3?A.They ruled out the effects of human activities.B.They tried to protect the habitat of butterflies.C.They refused to use amateurs’science data.D.They identified other threats to butterflies.3.How do warming falls affect butterflies?A.They affect butterflies’natural life cycle.B.They slow down butterflies’aging process.C.They cause butterflies to lose more habitats.D.They force butterflies to compete for survival.4.What is the main purpose of the text?A.To discuss the importance of butterfly species.B.To suggest a way to fight against climate change.C.To introduce new methods of studying butterflies.D.To present a new factor in a species population decline.解析：1.B理解词汇根据第二段第一句中的"Over the past...2percent a year"可知，在过去的40年里,450多种蝴蝶的数量以平均每年近2%的速度诚少。

After a morning hike in the Saneum HealingForest, 46-year-old firefighter Kang Byoung-wook has tea made from the bark of an elm tree, practices yoga (瑜伽), and makes a picture with dried flowers. He is one of 40 firefighters taking part in a three-day program, the aim of which is to offer "forest healing" (森林治愈); the firefighters all have posttraumatic stress disorder (创伤后应激障碍).Saneum is one of three official healing forests in South Korea. Soon there will be 34 more. South Koreans-many of whom suffer from work stress, digital addiction, and great academic pressure have accepted the medicalization of nature with great enthusiasm.There is increasing evidence that being outside in a pleasant natural environment is good for us. But how many of us get to enjoy nature regularly? Fewer and fewer, it seems. According to Lisa Nisbet, a psychology professor at Canada s Trent University, evidence for the benefits of nature is pouring in at a time when we are most disconnected from it."We don't think of being outdoors as a way to increase happiness," says Nisbet. "We think other things will, like shopping or TV." But South Korea is starting to challenge this opinion.So what are some of the benefits of nature that Nisbet refers to? Being surrounded by nature has one obvious effect: It calms us and reduces our stress levels. This has been shown to lower blood pressure and heart rates.Another experiment conducted by psychologist Stephen Kaplan found that people who took a 50-minute walk in a park had better attention and short-term memory than those who took a walk along a city street.Perhaps what's more surprising is that nature may also make us more creative. David Strayer, a psychologist at the University of Utah, showed as much with a group of participants, who performed 50 percent better on creative problem-solving tasks after three days of wilderness backpacking.In fact, we may never know exactly what nature does to the brain. Something mysterious will always remain, and maybe that's as it should be.（1）What is Kang Byoung-wook doing?A.Getting lost in nature.B.Building up his strength.C.Trying to control a forest fire.D.Helping firefighters under stress.（2）What does Lisa Nisbet think of being outdoors?A.It is overlooked by people.B.It has nothing to do with happiness.C.South Koreans show great interest in it.D.We need more evidence for its benefits.（3）What benefit of nature did Stephen Kaplan find?A.It affects people's feelings.B.It lowers the risks of diseases.C.It helps improve mental performance.D.It does more good than physical exercise.（4）What would be the best title for the text?A.Your life in forestsB.Your brain on natureC.The future of forest healingD.The benefits of a stress-free life【答案】（1）A（2）A（3）C（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，由韩国患创伤后应激障碍的消防员接受森林治愈谈起，介绍了大自然对我们身心健康的益处。

A team of international scientists is due to set off for the world's biggest iceberg in a mission aiming to answer fundamental questions about the impact of climate change in the polar regions. The scientists, led by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), are trying to reach a newly revealed ecosystem that had been hidden for 120,000 years below the Larsen C ice shelf.Last year, part of the Larsen C ice shelf calved (崩解) away, forming a huge iceberg-A68—which is four times bigger than London, and revealing life beneath for the first time. Now scientists say it is a race against time to explore these new ecosystems before they are transformed to the light. Marine biologist Dr Katrin Linse from the BAS is leading the mission."The calving of A68 provides us with a unique opportunity to study marine life as it responds to a huge environment change," she said. "It is important that we get there quickly before the undersea environment changes as sunlight enters the water."Professor David Vaughan, science director at the BAs, said, "We need to be bold (大胆的) on this one. Larsen C is a long way south and there's lots of sea ice in the area, but this is important science, so we will try our best to get the team where they need to be. He said climate change had already affected the sea around Antarctica and is warming some coastal waters. "Future warming may make some habitats warm. Where these habitats support unique species that are adapted to love the cold and not the warm, those species are going to either move or die."There is growing concern about the possible impact of climate change in the Antarctic. Earlier this month, a report revealed that melting ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica are speeding up the already fast pace of the sea level rise. The research, published by the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine, said, "At the current rate, the world's ocean will be, on average, at least 60cm higher by the end of the century." However, it found that the process is accelerating, and more than three quarters of the acceleration since 1993 is due to melting ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica, the study shows.（1）Why are the scientists eager to go to the iceberg?A. To study how the iceberg was formed.B. To study a newly discovered ecosystem.C. To explore a new way to prevent climate change.D. To explore the geography of the Larsen C ice shelf.（2）What do the underlined words "this one" in the fourth paragraph refer to?A. The Larsen C ice shelf.B. Climate change in Antarctica.C. The A68 iceberg with the ecosystem beneath it.D. The condition of animal species in Antarctica.（3）What can we learn about the A68 iceberg from the text?A. It is as big as London.B. It is part of an ice shelf in the Arctic.C. It will disappear in a very short time.D. It has uncovered an unknown ecosystem in Antarctica.（4）What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. There is no need to worry about climate change in Antarctica.B. The ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica are melting at a steady rate.C. Many creatures living in deep water will die out due to climate change.D. By 2100, the sea level will have risen to a much higher level than now.【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）D（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，南极地区的拉森C冰架崩解形成了一座巨大的冰山A68 iceberg。

高一英语阅读理解试题（生态、环保类）生态类(1)A Wolf in DangerWhat is happening to the timber wolf today?Native Americans and early settlers often went to sleep to the sound of a lonely lullaby(催眠曲). It was the song of the wolf howling in a distant forest. There were many wolves then. Onekind was the North American timber wolf.Wolves are important to the balance of nature because they eat sick and weak animals. In Colorado, people tried to help deer by shooting wolves. But then there were so many deer that many of them starved to death.The timber wolf is on the endangered special list. Animals on this list are in danger of disappearing from the earth. People drove the wolves away by cutting down the forests to build houses, towns, and highways. Timber wolves are now found only in Canada, Alaska, Michigan,and Minnesota.This special animal may soon disappear from our forests forever. Then, its lonely howl will never be heard again.1.

(2)Unless governments take necessary measures to protect tigers, they may disappear by 2010, the World Wildlife Fund said Thursday.The conservation(保护) group said tiger numbers have decreased(减少) 95 percent in the past century and only 5 000～7 200 tigers still remain in the wild — compared with nearly ten times that many at the start of the century.WWF published an update of their study on Feb. 11, 1999 — Wanted Alive: Tigers in the Wild, marking the end of the Chinese Year of the Tiger.The report states that in spite of the great efforts over the past year, much remains to be done to prevent the tiger from becoming extinct early next century. If governments do not fight against unlawful hunting and get rid of the demand for tiger products the tiger will go to extinction, says WWF.“We cannot relax for one moment if we are to make it certain that tigers will stil l exist in thewild by the next Chinese Year of the Tiger in 2010.” Said Elizabeth Kemt, species conservation information manager at WWF International and one of the authors of the report.Three of the subspecies of tiger—the Bali, Caspian and Javan tigers are extinct.
