【答案】

（1）A

（2）D

（3）C

（4）A

【解析】【分析】本文属于议论文，围绕加利福尼亚的大树从20世纪30年代以来大量减少为主题，探讨出现这一现象的原因。

（1）段落大意题。

第二段第一句Thenumberoftreeslargerthantwofeetacrosshasdeclinedby50percentonmorethan46,000squaremilesofCaliforniaforests为主题句，意思是：

在4.6万平方英里的加利福尼亚的森林中，直径超过2英尺的树木的数量已经减少了50%。

所以本段主要介绍加州的树木损失的严重情况，故答案为A。

（2）细节理解题。

题干中的well-intentioned意为“好意的”。

根据第三段描述：

伐木者对大树的砍伐、住房向森林里推进、对野火的控制使得小树与大树竞争资源都是导致大树减少的原因。

控制野火的初衷是保护森林，但是却导致大树得不到足够的资源而死亡。

故答案为D。

（3）细节理解题。

将watershortage 定位在第五段，而Mclntyre在最后一段，根据 thebiggestfactorsdrivingupwaterstressinthestatehavebeenrisingtemperatures,whichcausetreestolosemorewatertotheair可知，导致水源紧张的是上升的温度，造成树木将更多的水分散失到空气中。

故答案为C。

（4）主旨大意题。

文章的第一句是本文的主题句，文章围绕加利福尼亚大量的大树死亡展开，对大树数量减少的原因进行研究。

故答案为A。

【点评】本文属于生态环保类文章，文章的首段第一句即为本文的主题句。

阅读是紧扣主旨，快速浏览文章内容。

答题时注意根据问题中的关键词在文章中定位，然后分析关键词所在句子的信息。

2．阅读短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

C. AnOutstandingPhotographer                       

D. Gallagher'sSummerHolidays

【答案】

（1）C

（2）B

（3）C

（4）B

【解析】【分析】DevonGallagher小时因病右腿截肢，尽管有很多不便，但她认为这可以激励她过上最好的生活。

长大后Gallagher在社交媒体上分享自己环球旅行的照片，但她并没有简单的使用地理标签，而是拍照前在假肢上写下自己的位置。

她的故事告诉我们不要让任何东西挡住通往梦想的道路。

（1）细节理解题。

根据第一段中AlthoughtheamputationcausedinconvenienceforGallagherearlyon,shenowseesitasnothingshortofinspirationforlivingherbestlife.。

尽管截肢早期给她带来了很多不便，但她认为这可以激励她过上最好的生活。

由此可知Gallagher想以她独特的方式表明她把自己的不幸看做是另一种幸运的形式，故选C。

（2）推理判断题。

NowshehasbeentakingpicturesacrosstheContinent,whichshowhercyclingoverthecanalinAmsterdamrelaxingonawall…现在她在整个大陆拍照，应该是这些照片展示了…所以which指代的是她拍的照片，故选B。

（3）推理判断题。

根据第四段OnedayIhadasuddenthoughttogetachalk-board,"Gallaghersaid."Mymumandgrandmotherdidn'tliketheidea,butmyfriendsthoughtitwasgreatandtoldmetogoforit,soIdid."Gallagher说她妈妈和外婆都不喜欢她chalk-board的主意，但她的朋友喜欢，让她去试试，所以她就去了，可知Gallagher很有决心。

根据第二段 Tospreadthatmessage.Gallagherhasgonetosocialmedia,whereshesharesphotosofhertravelsacrosstheworld,butinsteadofsimplyusingageo-tag（地理位置标签）,shewritesherlocationonherartificiallegbeforetakingapicture。

Gallagher把她的位置写在假肢上来和大家分享可知他是一个很有创造性的人，故选C。

（4）主旨大意题。

最后一段Andiflifegivesyouanartificialleg,makeart。

是本文的主题句，根据文章内容可知本文主要描述的是截肢的Gallagher在社交媒体上分享自己环球旅行的照片，但她并没有简单的使用地理标签，而是拍照前在假肢上写下自己的位置的故事。

这篇文章是想通过Gallagher的一条假肢，传达出一种乐观向上的生活态度，故ASpecialArtificialLeg是最好的标题。

故选A。

【点评】考查阅读理解。

本文涉及细节理解题、推理判断题和主旨大意题三种常考题型，细节理解题要注意从文中寻找答案；推理判断题需要联系上下文以及分析特殊句式，推断出需要的信息；主旨大意题需要通读全文，了解大意之后找出中心思想。
