考研英语备考，距离考研时间越来越近了，大家准备的怎么样了呢？所以同学们一定要稳住心态，相信自己一定可以的，下面小编整理了一些英语（二）真题解读分享给你们，大家一起学习吧。
题材：环境类
Forests give us shade, quiet and one of the harder challenges in the fight against climate change. Even as we humans count on forests to soak up a good share of the carbon dioxide we produce, we are threatening their ability to do so. The climate change we are hastening could one day leave us with forests that emit more carbon than they absorb.
Bysaying “one of the harder challenges,” the author implies that______ A.global climate change mayget out of controlB.people may misunderstand global warming
C.extreme weather conditionsmay arise
D. forests may become a potential threat
【解题思路】
1. 这是一道推理题，推理作者说话的意图。
2. 根据题目关键词：“one of the harder challenges,” 定位到一句Forests give us shade, quiet and one of the harder challenges in the fight against climate change.
3. 读文章可知：主语是forest（森林）给了我们①shade(阴凉)，②quiet(宁静),③one of the harder challengers in the fight against climate change (一个对抗气候变化的挑战）
4. 挑战是森林给我们的，所以作者提到挑战，可以推断其目的是在讲森林的影响：不仅仅有好处，也在对抗气候变化中成为了挑战，故选项中只有D选项讲到了森林成为了潜在威胁。threat 对应了 challenge。此为一技巧。
【核心词汇】
climate change 气候变化
global warming 全球变暖
carbon dixoide 二氧化碳
fight against 对抗
sharev.分享 n. 份额
emit v. 排放
emissionn. 排放
absorbv. 吸收
Thankfully, there is a way out of this trap -- but it involves striking a subtle balance. Helping forests flourish as valuable “carbon sinks” long into the future may require reducing their capacity to sequester carbon now. California is leading the way, as it does on so many climate efforts, in figuring out the details.Tomaintain forests as valuable “carbon sinks”, we may need to ______.
A.preserve the diversity of species in them style
B.accelerate the growth ofyoung trees
C. strike a balance amongdifferent plants
D.lower their present carbon-absorbingcapacity
【解题思路】
1. 这是一道细节题
2. 首先根据题目关键词：forests as valuable “carbon sinks”，可以定位到第二段信息句：Helping forests flourish as valuable “carbon sinks” long into the future may require reducing their capacity to sequester carbon now.
3. 再看题目问什么：问我们需要怎么做 we may need to _______
4. 原文中正好有...may requirereducing their capacity to sequester carbon now, 所以答案应该是we may need to reducetheir capacity to sequeter carbon,
5.到这里，我们可以知道，根据文章，我们需要做的事情是和reduce capacity（降低能力）与carbon（碳）有关，那纵观选项，只有D和降低能力、碳有关，直接选出正确答案。reduce对应lower. 此为一技巧。
【核心词汇】
trap 陷阱
involve 包含、包括
flourish 繁荣、茂盛、茁壮成长
sequester使隔绝、没收
lead the way 带路、示范
figure out想出、算出、解决出
Thestate’s proposed Forest Carbon Plan aims to double efforts to thin out young trees and clear brush in parts of the forest, including by controlled burning. This temporarily lowers carbon-carrying capacity. But the remaining trees draw a greater share of the available moisture, so they grow and thrive, restoring the forest’s capacity to pull carbon from the air. Healthy trees are also better able to fend off bark beetles. The landscape is rendered less combustible. Even in the event of a fire, fewer trees are consumed.California’s Forest Carbon Plan endeavors to ______.
A.cultivate moredrought-resistant trees
B.reduce the density of some of itsforests
C.find more effective ways tokill insects
D.restore its forests quicklyafter wildfires
【解题思路】
1.这是一道细节题
2. 根据关键词California’sForest Carbon Plan 定位到第三段Thestate’s proposed Forest Carbon Plan aims to double efforts to thin out youngtrees and clear brush inparts of the forest, including by controlled burning.3. 再看题目问什么：这个Plan endeavors to ________, 努力做什么_______
4. 回到文章，我们可以看到Forest Carbon Plan aims to double efforts to thin out youngtrees and clear brush inparts of the forest，Plan 干的事情是doubleefforts to thinout young treesandclearbrush in part oftheforest. (努力去减少树木，清理森林中的灌木），简而言之就是砍树，减少树木
5. 再看选项，A、B、D项有trees/forest, 再看有哪个选项有减少树木的意思，只有B选项，所以我们答案选B。
6.A. cultivatemoretrees (种树); D.restoreforest（修复森林）均不对
【核心词汇】
propose 提议、计划
effort 努力
thrive茂盛、繁荣
landscape 风景、风光
combustible 易燃的
consume 消耗
California's plan envisions treating 35,000 acres of forest a year by 2020, and 60,000 by2030 - financed from the proceeds of the state's emissions-permit auctions.That's only a small share of the total acreage that could benefit, an estimatedhalf a million acres in all, so it will be important to prioritize areas atgreatest risk of fire or drought.
Whatis essential to California’s plan according to Paragraph5?
A.To handle the areas in serious danger first.
B.To carry it out before theyear of 2020.
C.To perfect theemissions-permit auctions.
D.To obtain enough financialsupport.
【解题思路】
1.根据某一段去回答某个问题，这类题难度稍微有所加强，需要我们大致浏览整个段落。
2. 根据题目给的关键词：California's Plan & essential 可知，我们要找到，在这个计划中重要的是干什么。
3. 我们大致浏览段落会发现，第五段后一句话：...so it will be important to prioritize areas at greatest risk of fire or drought. 此处的important 和题目的essential对应。
4. 那干什么是很重要的呢？原文说to prioritize areas atgreatest risk of fire or drought.（优先高危地区是很重要的）
5. 看选项，只有A 讲到了高危地区，很容易选出答案

【核心词汇】
estimate 估计
prioritize优先处理、优先考虑
priority优先、优先权
State governments are well accustomed to managing forests, including those owned by the U.S. Forest Service, but traditionally they’ve focused on wildlife, watersheds and opportunities for recreation. Only recently have they come to see the vital part forests will have to play in storing carbon. California's plan, which is expected to be finalized by the governor early next year, should serve as a model.
Theauthor’s attitude to California’s plan can be described as ______.
A.ambiguous
B.tolerant
C.supportive
D.cautious
【解题思路】
1. 这是一道态度题，放在后一道，我们一般直接看后一段，去找相关的褒义词或者贬义词，来推断作者的态度。
2. 题目问的是作者对 California's plan的态度，我们可以在后一段的后一句话看到：California'splan, which is expected to be finalized by the governor early next year, shouldserve as a model.
3.作者说California's plan shouldserve as amodel, 应该做一个模范，那必定是褒义的，所以直接选出supportive.
4. 一般选项中带有主观个人色彩或者态度模糊的词都不选，如：ambiguous 模糊的；tolerant 忍受的；cautious 谨慎的；biased 偏见的等等
