Question

【題目】

In a rainforest there are tall trees. The top of these trees is called the canopy. Scientists want to learn about the canopy. They want to learn about everything that lives there. But it has not been easy to get to the canopy.

Meg is an American biologist, ecologist, explorer, writer, educator, and public speaker. Since she knows a lot about trees, she is sometimes called Canopy Meg. Meg has always liked trees. When she was a child, she made tree houses. Now, she has climbed to the top of trees all over the world and does great research, so she has got a nickname called “Einstein of the treetops.”

Walkways in the rainforest were Meg's idea. Now, they are used by many people. A walkway is like a bridge that goes between the trees. It is safe and it doesn’t harm the trees. A walkway, however, cannon help scientists reach the top.

One way to reach the top is by a light raft filled with air. It has a huge net on it. A hot air balloon drops the raft onto the trees. Scientists can stand on the raft and look into the trees.

A tower crane is also a good way to get to the top. It can go above the tree tops. It can go all the way down to the ground, too. Scientists are learning about life in the canopy. They have learned there are millions of insects that are eating leaves in these treetops.

Meg's job is to keep finding out more. She wants to help find the secrets of treetops. There are still millions of animals that no one has seen. Many of them are in the treetops.

【1】What do scientists go to the treetops for?

A. To build walkways there.B. To learn about the rainforest.

C. To study living things there.D. To look at the things far away.

【2】Why is Meg called "Einstein of the treetops?

A. Because she has always liked trees.

B. Because she made tree houses in her childhood

C. Because she is an American biologist and explorer.

D. Because she does great scientific research on treetops

【3】How many ways of getting to the treetops are mentioned in the passage?

A. OneB. Two.C. Three.D. Four

【4】Which picture does a walkway look like?

A. B.

C. D.

Answer 1

【4】A

【解析】

文章講述了Meg關(guān)于對(duì)樹(shù)冠的研究，她在小時(shí)候就對(duì)樹(shù)冠感興趣，因此得到“樹(shù)梢的愛(ài)因斯坦”的綽號(hào)，文章介紹了到達(dá)樹(shù)梢的方法，一個(gè)可以用熱氣球，也可以用塔吊，科學(xué)家也研究樹(shù)冠上的生命，樹(shù)冠上有成百上千萬(wàn)的吃樹(shù)葉的昆蟲(chóng)，Meg的工作是堅(jiān)持弄清楚更多，樹(shù)冠上仍然有成百上千萬(wàn)的沒(méi)有人見(jiàn)過(guò)的。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Scientists are learning about life in the canopy.可知是為了研究樹(shù)梢的生物；故選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)does great research, so she has got a nickname called “Einstein of the treetops.”可知是因?yàn)樗龑?duì)樹(shù)冠做了偉大的科學(xué)研究；故選D。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)One way to reach the top is by a light raft filled with air.和A tower crane is also a good way to get to the top.可知提到了2個(gè)方法；故選B。

【4】圖片匹配題。根據(jù)A walkway is like a bridge that goes between the trees.可知是像在兩棵樹(shù)之間走的橋，和圖片；故選A。

短文閱讀，做題時(shí)要結(jié)合文章的特點(diǎn)，題目涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測(cè)和推理判斷，做題時(shí)要在了解文章大意的基礎(chǔ)上，結(jié)合題目針對(duì)不同的題型采用不同的解答方式，比如細(xì)節(jié)理解題，我們要抓住里面的最有效的信息選擇出正確的答案，總之理解透文章是做好一篇閱讀理解的關(guān)鍵。例如：小題3細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)One way to reach the top is by a light raft filled with air.和A tower crane is also a good way to get to the top.可知提到了2個(gè)方法；故選B。
