9.Monty Hempel is a professor of environmental sciences at Redlands University in California.He studies ecological literacy-or ecoliteracy,for short.Ecoliteracy is the ability to think about and understand the natural processes that make life possible.
Monty Hempel says ecoliteracy gives people knowledge about environmental problems.But he says it does not always work to get them to change their behavior.
Mr.Hempel wrote part of the Worldwatch Institute's latest State of the World report.He says in his article,"Some people think that ecoliteracy is just a green form of science literacy.And what I have tried to ask is whether that's enough.In other words,what an ecologically-literate person needs to know might include things like the cycles and the flows,the energy systems,all of those kind of things that we would call the science of ecology."
"That doesn't seem to lead to action to protect our environment-to protect our life-support system to the level that we need to.Just because we know a lot about the environment doesn't mean that we actually act to save it.After all,actions speak louder than knowledge."
He adds that people may not be very worried about environmental problems if they seem far away."Some people call it psychological distance.A lot of climate issues are worse in the Arctic and most of us don't spend time in the Arctic.And so,there's a certain distance.But there's also a distance that's happening in the world as it urbanizes-people spending more time in front of screens and less time out in nature.We become,if you will,disconnected from the natural systems that used to be the key to success for a human being."
To help children discover the wonders of nature,he adds that children should learn about nature in school.But he also points out we have a high mountain for people to climb from knowledge to action.

分析 本文是一篇議論文.雖然人們都有保護(hù)環(huán)境的知識(shí),伹只有知識(shí)是不夠的,保護(hù)環(huán)境更需要的是行動(dòng).
解答 32.A推理判斷題.根據(jù)第三段中Monty Hempel說(shuō)的話,Some people think that ecoliteracy is just a green form of science literacy.And what I have tried to ask is whether that's enough.In other words,what an ecologically-literate person needs to know might include things like the cycles and the flows,the energy systems,all of those kind of things that we would call the science of ecology.有的人認(rèn)為生態(tài)素養(yǎng)僅僅是一種自然文化的一種形式,我就像問(wèn)問(wèn)那種表述就夠了么.換句話說(shuō),關(guān)于自然生態(tài)系統(tǒng)、環(huán)境保護(hù)方面的知識(shí)其實(shí)是大大的不夠的,結(jié)合選項(xiàng),可知答案為A.
33.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第四段最后一句'"After all,actions speak louder than knowledge.,"可知,Mr Hempel的觀點(diǎn)是行動(dòng)比知識(shí)更重要,故答案為B.
35.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文中的."Some people call it psychological distance.A lot of climate issues are worse in the Arctic and most of us don't spend time in the Arctic.And so,there's a certain distance.由此可知,一些生態(tài)環(huán)境問(wèn)題離我們比較遠(yuǎn),因此人們表現(xiàn)出極少的關(guān)注,可知答案為D.
35.C 推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段最后一句"But he also points out we have a high mountain to climb from knowledge to action.,可知要改變?nèi)藗儗?duì)環(huán)境保護(hù)的態(tài)度是很難的.故選C
點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是一個(gè)社會(huì)文化類閱讀,題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題,做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對(duì)性的找出相關(guān)語(yǔ)句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析,結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測(cè),一定要做到有理有據(jù).
