第七节　阅读理解 Some of the greatest problems we face today are the destruction(破坏)of our environment. Brown clouds，polluted water，endangered wild animals...these problems seem so huge. So my family does what we can.We take cloth bags to stores instead of using plastic bags.We walk where we dont have to drive... But does it do any good？When I am the only one in line at the market with cloth bags，am I doing any good？Does my walking to stores make any real difference to the world? I recently learned something about flamingos(火烈鸟)which like to get together in groups of a thousand or more.Every year，when the time comes for migration(迁徙)，a few of them first take off from the lake.But none of the others seem to notice，so the small group returns.However，the next day they try again.This time a few more fly along with them，but most of them still pay no attention，so they return again.They try for several times.Every time a few more birds join in but，since the thousands of others still take no notice，the great migration plan is once more stopped. Then one day something changes.The same small group of birds once again starts flying and a small number more join in just as before，then more.Finally，they all take flight and the migration really begins.What a spectacular sight it must be—thousands of flamingos taking off into the sky at once! A few can make a difference.Even if youre the one to take the first step，and continue trying，others will someday take notice and together we will solve even our greatest problems. 1．Where would you most probably read this passage?

D．To show that therere many problems in the world. 参考答案 1．C　解析：A项表示“旅行指南”；B项表示“电影海报”；C项表示“个人博客”；D项表示“地质杂志”。因为文章是个人讲述的为保护环境而努力的事情，故此文章在个人博客上阅读到的可能性大些。故选C。 2．A　解析：根据文章第一段内容和第二段的第一句话“So my family does what we can. (所以我的家人做我们能做的一切。)” 可知，作者很担心当前环境被破坏的问题，故他用布袋购物是为了做些对环境有益的事，故选A。B项中的贵贱问题文中没有提及；C、D两项根据文章第三段中的第二句可以排除。 3．D　解析：四个选项的意思是：frustrating“令人沮丧的”，surprising“令人惊奇的”，terrible“可怕的”，fantastic“极好的，了不起的，很大的”。根据文章倒数第二段最后一句话“. . . thousands of flamingos taking off into the sky at once！(……成千上万只火烈鸟同时起飞到空中！)”可推知这是一个多么壮观的景象啊。故画线部分的含义为D。 4．B　解析：根据文章第二段最后一句话“We walk where we dont have to drive. . . (我们步行去不必开车就能去的地方……)”可知A项是错误的；根据文章第一段第二句话中的endangered wild animals. . . 可知C项是错误的；根据文章第四段内容可知少数火烈鸟们在尝试了很多次之后才引起众多火烈鸟的注意，故D项也是错误的。根据文章第四段第一句话“I recently learned something about flamingos which like to get together in groups of a thousand or more. (我最近了解了一些关于火烈鸟的事，它们喜欢上千只或更多的火烈鸟聚在一起。)”可知火烈鸟喜欢群居。所以B项正确。 5．B　解析：通读全文可知，作者写这篇文章的主要意图是告诉人们坚持尝试会产生不同的效果。故选B。
