Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從下面方框中選擇適當(dāng)?shù)倪x項(xiàng)補(bǔ)全短文。

Every living thing on our planet depends on another for survival (生存). 【1】 and influence each other and the environments in which they live in. Humans, of course, are a part of this web of life and we depend on it just like everything else does. 【2】 because they’re needed in order to help crops grow and fungi (真菌) are needed in order to keep the soil healthy. And from the natural world we get the fresh water that we drink and the medicine that we take when we’re ill and we get some pretty amazing views as well.

Now losing one species, that might not seem like a lot. 【3】 If something happens to one species, then it weakens the others because there’ s a knock on effect (連鎖效應(yīng)). Imagine if you will, like a house, and someone takes a brick out of the house. It leaves the wall pretty weak. 【4】 So that’s why nature’s crisis is one for humans too.

A. If more bricks were to disappear, the whole thing would come falling down.

B. Around the world, different species (物種) live with each other,

C. Plants produce the oxygen we breathe and bees and other pollinators (傳粉者),

D. But because everything is so connected, actually, it is a big deal.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】C

【3】D

【4】A

【解析】

本文講述了我們星球上的每一個(gè)生物都要依靠另一個(gè)來生存，生命之間都是環(huán)環(huán)相扣的，如果有什么事情發(fā)生在一個(gè)物種身上，它就會(huì)削弱其他物種，因?yàn)闀?huì)有連鎖反應(yīng)，對于我們?nèi)祟悂碚f也是一樣的。

【1】由文中前一句“Every living thing on our planet depends on another for survival”可知地球上的生物都是相互依存的，后文又提到“influence each other”互相影響，只有B項(xiàng)“在世界各地，不同的物種相互依存”符合上下文之間的句意，故選B。

【2】由后文“because they’re needed in order to help crops grow”因?yàn)樗麄儽晦r(nóng)作物所需要，可知，此處講的是蜜蜂和傳粉者，所以C項(xiàng)符合題意，故選C。

【3】根據(jù)后文舉的例子“If something happens to one species, then it weakens the others because there’ s a knock on effect” 如果有什么事情發(fā)生在一個(gè)物種身上，它就會(huì)削弱其他物種，這種連鎖反應(yīng)便意味著生物之間都是緊密相連的，所以D項(xiàng)符合題意，故選D。

【4】前文講到“Imagine if you will, like a house, and someone takes a brick out of the house. It leaves the wall pretty weak”這個(gè)世界就像一所房子，拿走一塊磚都會(huì)讓這個(gè)房子很脆弱，后文講到“So that’s why nature’s crisis is one for humans too”大自然的危機(jī)也是人類的危機(jī)，只有A項(xiàng)如果更多的磚塊消失，整個(gè)東西就會(huì)倒下來這樣的危機(jī)可以聯(lián)系起上下文，故選A。

對于補(bǔ)全短文類的題型要學(xué)會(huì)鎖定詞匯，關(guān)注空前后的名詞和動(dòng)詞。然后再選項(xiàng)中查找與之相關(guān)的同義詞、反義詞或表示同一類事物的詞語等。其次是題目和選項(xiàng)中相呼應(yīng)的代詞、數(shù)詞（排序詞）、時(shí)間/年代的詞、地點(diǎn)/名稱等“路標(biāo)性信號(hào)詞”。比如第四小題就是前文又提到名詞“brick”，選項(xiàng)也有提到同類名詞“brick”，所以直接選A。
