But the glacier was gone, melted by the warming climate. Sharp had a deep sense of loss when she discovered the glacier wasn’t there anymore.‎ Loss is a growing issue for people working and living on the front lines of climate change. And that gave Jennifer Wren Atkinson, a fulltime lecturer at the University of Washington Bothell, US, an idea for a class.‎ This term, she taught students on the Bothell campus about the emotional burdens of environmental studies. She used the experiences of Native American tribes(部落), scientists and activists, and asked her 24 students to face the reality that there 20‎ ‎ is no easy fix—that “this is such an intractable problem that they’re going to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives.”‎ Student Cody Dillon used to be a climate science skeptic(怀疑论者). Then he did his own reading and research, and changed his mind.‎ Dillon wasn’t going into environmental work—he was a computerscience major. Yet, the potential for a worldwide environmental catastrophe seemed so real to him five years ago that he quit his job and became a fulltime volunteer for an environmental group that worked on restoration(恢复) projects.‎ Six months into the work, he decided that Atkinson’s class was just what he was looking for—a place where he could discuss his concerns about a changing climate.‎ Atkinson said she hoped the class helped her students prepare themselves for the amount of environmental loss that will happen over their lifetimes.‎ ‎“We are already changing the planet—so many species are going to be lost, displaced or massively impacted，” she said. “The future isn’t going to be what they imagined.”‎ ‎【解题导语】　Fawn Sharp通过一次搭乘直升机飞行的经历认识到了冰川融化的严重性，同时Jennifer Wren Atkinson给学生开设了课程，教学生如何面对气候变化，她的课程让很多学生关注环境问题。‎ ‎1．Why did the author mention the case of Fawn Sharp?‎ A．To lay a basis for Fawn Sharp’s further research.‎ B．To prove Fawn Sharp’s work is similar to Atkinson’s.‎ C．To lead into the issue of loss caused by climate change.‎ D．To show scientists’ concern about the Mount Anderson glacier.‎ C　解析：推理判断题。通读第一段可知，Fawn Sharp在一次直升机飞行中意识到气候变化导致了冰川融化；由此可推知，作者在第一段中提及Fawn Sharp的例子是为了引出下文气候变化导致环境问题的话题，故选C。‎ ‎2．What’s the main purpose of Atkinson’s class?‎ A．To explore how different people deal with climate change.‎ B．To get students more concerned about the environmental issue.‎ C．To find solutions to the environmental issue of Olympic Mountains.‎ D．To teach students how to conduct research about environment.‎ B　解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“she taught students...the emotional burdens of environmental studies...and asked her 24 students to face the reality that there ‎ 20‎ is no easy fix—that ‘this is such an intractable problem that they’re going to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives.’”可知，她给学生讲环境研究的情感压力，她让她的24个学生面对没有简单的解决方法这个事实——这是“一个如此困难的问题以至于学生们将用他们的余生来解决它。”由此可知，Atkinson的课程目的是让学生们更加关注环境问题，故选B。‎ ‎3．Which of the following words best explains “intractable” underlined in Paragraph 3?‎ A．Simple. B．Difficult.‎ C．Common. D．Interesting.‎ B　解析：词义猜测题。根据上文可知，Atkinson用美洲土著部落、科学家以及积极分子们的经历让她的24个学生面对没有简单的解决方法这个事实，并结合该句“this is such an intractable problem that they’re going to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives”可知，这是一个如此困难的问题以至于学生们将用他们的余生来解决它，故选B。‎ ‎4．How did Atkinson’s class influence Dillon?‎ A．It made him work as a parttime volunteer for restoration projects.‎ B．It made him realize a planetwide climate disaster would happen.‎ C．It encouraged him to be more involved in environmental protection.‎ D．It discouraged him to work on restoration projects for the environment.‎ C　解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Six months into the work...discuss his concerns about a changing climate.”可知，Dillon在环保组织做了六个月志愿者之后，他认为在Atkinson的课堂上他可以讨论他对气候变化的担忧；由此可推知，Atkinson的课程鼓励Dillon参与环境保护，故选C。‎ B ‎(2020·湖北武昌区调研)‎ Historians and archaeologists have defined periods of human history for centuries by the technologies or materials that made the greatest impact on society. This includes the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, and the Iron Age. But what age are we in now? That question can be answered with one word for some researchers: Plastics.‎ ‎“Plastic has redefined our material culture and the artifacts we leave 20‎ ‎ behind. It will be found in stratified(分层的) layers in our trash deposits(沉积层)．” That’s according to John Marston, an archaeologist.‎ The wide variety of synthetic polymers(合成聚合物) would not exist if it weren’t for human action. About six billion tons of plastics have been made and spread around the planet. They have been spread from forests to oceans ever since the first plastic polymers were invented.‎ Plastics are one of the most significant changes that humans have made to the Earth’s makeup. Most plastics don’t easily degrade. This only adds to the problem. Recycling isn’t an adequate solution. Not all types of plastic are easily recyclable. And there are only a few recycling plants that can process all varieties of plastic.‎ According to Debra Winter, writer for The Atlantic, this means that many of the materials thrown into recycling bins can cross the planet several times before they are processed. They are made into rugs, sweaters, or they are used to make other bottles. Millions of tons of plastics are recycled every year, but millions more end up in landfills or the ocean. The problem has reached the point where it’s possible that in just a few decades there might be more plastic in the world’s oceans than fishes.‎ ‎“Plastics have a supposed lifespan of over 500 years, so it’s safe to say that every plastic bottle you have used exists somewhere on this planet, in some form or another，” Winter writes.‎ The damage may already be done. It may be too late for human populations worldwide to change their plastic using ways. So the Plastic Age might soon take its place next to the Bronze Age and the Iron Age in the history of human civilization.‎ ‎【解题导语】　在我们所处的时代，塑料给我们的生活带来了很大便利，但是也给环境造成了巨大损害。‎ ‎5．Why do people call our age the Plastic Age?‎ A．Because plastics are not naturally made.‎ B．Because humans create plastics.‎ C．Because plastics influence the world greatly.‎ D．Because historians and archaeologists think so.‎ C　解析：推理判断题。根据第一段第一句可知，历史学家和考古学家是通过对社会造成最大影响的技术或材料来界定人类历史时期的，由此可推知，我们称现在这个时代为塑料时代的原因是塑料极大地影响了世界，故C项正确。‎ 20‎ ‎6．According to the passage, how are most plastics dealt with currently?‎ A．They are recycled.‎ B．They are degraded.‎ C．They are thrown away.‎ D．They are made into bottles.‎ C　解析：细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Millions of tons of plastics are recycled every year, but millions more end up in landfills or the ocean.”可知，每年数百万吨的塑料垃圾被回收，但是更多的塑料垃圾最终被扔到垃圾场或海洋中了，故C项正确。‎ ‎7．What is the author’s attitude to the Plastic Age?‎ A．Negative. B．Ambiguous.‎ C．Favorable. D．Unconcerned.‎ A　解析：观点态度题。根据全文内容可知，作者在文章中描述了塑料垃圾对社会的巨大的负面影响，尤其在最后一段中作者提到，塑料垃圾对社会可能已经造成了损害，世界各地的人们改变使用塑料的方式可能太晚了。由此可推知，作者对塑料时代持消极态度。故A项正确。‎ ‎8．What is the main idea of this passage?‎ A．Plastics have ruined our environment.‎ B．We must stop using plastics altogether.‎ C．Human beings are in the Plastic Age.‎ D．Plastics are significant to human development.‎ C　解析：主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述的是我们人类现在处于塑料时代并解释了我们这个时代被称为塑料时代的原因，由此可推知，C项最符合文意。‎ Ⅱ.七选五 ‎(2020·石家庄高三一模)Three in five people in the UK hold a library card.
