Question

【題目】閱讀E篇短文，回答下列問題。

Eleven countries are building a great wall of trees across Africa. It is called the Great Green Wall. The aim is to bring life to the dry lands and help to fight the bad environment.

The wall is 8, 000 kilometers long and 15 kilometers wide. It covers from Senegal in the west to Djibouti in the east, on the south of the Sahara Desert (撒哈拉沙漠). So far, Senegal has made the best progress by planting about 11,000,000 trees.

Many years ago, there were few trees in that area and the winds used to be very strong. It was harmful to the fields. Also, there was little rain, so few plants could grow and many people went hungry. Since the tree planting project started, the trees have provided food for the local people and increased the wetness (濕度) of the air. Little by little, there appeared green fields for people to grow plant.

The project which began in 2007 is supposed to cost a total of 8, 000, 000, 000 dollars. Many countries are trying their best to help to continue the planting. So we will be able to see the whole green wall across Africa in the near future!

【解析】

這篇短文講述的是很多國家在非洲各地建設(shè)樹木長城，被叫做“綠色長城”，目的是將生命帶到干旱的土地上，幫助對抗惡劣的環(huán)境。

【1】根據(jù)短文第一段The aim is to bring life to the dry lands and help to fight the bad environment.可知，人們在非洲建設(shè)綠色長城的目的是把生命帶到干旱的土地上，幫助抵抗惡劣的環(huán)境。由此可知答案為Because they want to bring life to the dry lands and help to fight the bad environment.

【2】根據(jù)短文第二段It covers from Senegal in the west to Djibouti in the east, on the south of the Sahara Desert可知，綠色長城覆蓋的區(qū)域是從西部的塞內(nèi)加爾到東部的沙哈拉沙漠以南的吉布提。由此可知答案。

【3】根據(jù)短文第三段Many years ago, there were few trees in that area and the winds used to be very strong. It was harmful to the fields. Also, there was little rain, so few plants could grow and many people went hungry.可知，這里列舉了兩個原因：一個是過去風(fēng)非常的大，對土地有破壞；第二個是幾乎沒有雨，所以地里不長植物。

【4】根據(jù)短文最后一段The project which began in 2007 is supposed to cost a total of 8, 000, 000, 000 dollars.可知，這個項目是在2007年開始的。故回答In 2007.

【5】根據(jù)文意可知，這篇短文給我們介紹的是很多國家在非洲的土地上建設(shè)樹木長城，幫助抵抗惡劣環(huán)境的這個項目。故可以回答It mainly talks about the great Green Wall/ the tree planting project/ the project of planting tree in Africa.

這篇短文介紹的是一個幫助非洲國家改善惡劣環(huán)境的項目。短文主題明確，層次清晰。文章內(nèi)容在理解上稍有難度，閱讀時應(yīng)緊扣文章主題，并注意一些細(xì)節(jié)內(nèi)容。對于文章中出現(xiàn)的國家名可以忽略，不影響理解。題型是任務(wù)型閱讀，要求根據(jù)短文回答問題，以考查理解文章事實細(xì)節(jié)為主，第5小題考查了文章的大意。做題時，先通讀短文，了解大意；然后根據(jù)題目所問，鎖定文章相關(guān)段落或語句，用正確的句子表達(dá)出來。例如第3小題，根據(jù)題目中many years ago以及couldn’t…grow，我們可以定位到短文第三段，根據(jù)Many years ago, there were few trees in that area and the winds used to be very strong. It was harmful to the fields. Also, there was little rain, so few plants could grow and many people went hungry.可知，這里列舉了兩個原因：一個是過去風(fēng)非常的大，對土地有破壞；第二個是幾乎沒有雨，所以地里不長植物�；卮饡r將文章內(nèi)容進(jìn)行簡化，找到關(guān)鍵信息，故回答為Because the winds used to be very strong and there was little rain.
