注意强对比

autumn_leaves

Q37我觉得是D

请看原文:

whereas the bark of most trees consists of dead cells, the aspen’s bark is a living, functioning tissue that—along with the rest of the tree—succumbs quickly to fire.

选项:

rapidity with which trees other than aspens succumb to destruction by fire

这不是在说烧毁的速度么?而不是vulnerability

autumn_leaves

谁能解释一下?

这句选项的意思说的是

除去aspens以外的树被火烧死的速度，

题目问的是 in order to emphasize the

也就是说作者写这段话希望强调的东西，显然不是trees other than aspens，作者希望表达的是aspens的特点，因此b错。

同意否？

37.文中－－

forest fires promote the survival of aspen trees. Aspens’ need for fire may seem illogical since aspens are particularly vulnerable to fires; whereas the bark of most trees consists of dead cells, the aspen’s bark is a living, functioning tissue that—along with the rest of the tree—succumbs quickly to fire.

强对比是考点。aspens易着火，却需要火。而the bark of most trees 由于有很多死细胞。这推出－－火有利于aspens的活细胞。正好与A选项不谋而合。C错在说aspens 难着火。

Q35:

The primary purpose of the passage is to explain the

                 

1. qualities that make a particular organism unique
2. evolutionary change undergone by a particular organism
3. reasons that a phenomenon benefits a particular organism
4. way in which two particular organisms compete for a resource
5. means by which a particular organism has been able to survive in a barren region

为什么不选E呢？

E中说的能在贫脊的地方生长。文中不是侧重点。－－naturally occurring forest fires promote the survival of aspen trees. 火有助于aspens成活。火－－phenomenon,aspen--clone--particular oragnism.符合。这题关键是找出作者的意图。。。

请指教

Q36:

It can be inferred from the passage that when aspen groves experience a “disturbance” (line 30), such a disturbance

                 

1. leads to a hormonal imbalance within an aspen clone
2. provides soil conditions that are favorable for new shoots
3. thins out aspen groves that have become overly dense
4. suppresses the formation of too many new aspen stems
5. protects aspen groves by primarily destroying coniferous trees rather than aspens

ANS: A   

回原文定位。If a clone loses many stems simultaneously, the resulting hormonal imbalance triggers a huge increase in new, rapidly growing shoots that can outnumber the ones destroyed.  An aspen grove needs to experience fire or some other disturbance regularly, or it will fail to regenerate and spread.  显然是选A。E中的coniferous trees 不是在该处出现。用排除法就可。

请指教

这里的disturbance和fire是对上面的总结。就是a要经历disturbance才生长的更好。下面的coniferous trees可以看作一种disturbance。但是文章没有对它进行分析，实际上作者想表明这个coniferous trees对a的生长是有益的。E的意思与之相反。

我选择E。

感觉文章是说：fire之类的disturbance可以刺激促进Aspen的生长。否则，coniferous trees就会慢慢侵入Aspen的领地，然后遮住Aspen生长需要的阳光，使得Aspen消亡。

A觉得只是回答了其中某个过程或者某个现象——引起其中那个aspen clone的hormonal imbalance。这并不是disturbance最后真正导致的结果。

我觉得才不是这个意思呢。仔细看最后一句就会发现，讲的是针叶林阻止杨树的生长，幸好有火把他们烧掉，和36题最后一个选项正好符合，所以我觉得36题还是应该选E。

E原文定位最后一句，正好是同义变换；A离定位之处太远，属于非出题段落。

请大家继续讨论！

  36题AE中,A好一些.E说的有点问题:

E说是destory掉针叶林而不是destory  杨树.这个说法不好.原文一直在说要用火烧杨树才对杨树有利.而用火烧就是destroy拉.所以E说法不妥.
