题目解答
答案
解析
本题主要考查对词汇的理解以及在特定语境中的运用能力。解题的关键在于理解文章的主题是关于草原文明的动态核心,以及各段落所描述的草原生态系统的特点、面临的问题和相关的可持续发展理念等内容,然后根据上下文的逻辑和语义来选择合适的词汇。
- 第一空:根据后文“ecosystems that have influenced the lives of communities for thousands of years”可知,这里描述的生态系统是不断变化、有活力的。“dynamic”意为“动态的,有活力的”,“dynamic ecosystems”表示“动态生态系统”,符合语境,所以第一空填“dynamic”。
- 第二空:“rich”通常用来修饰表示丰富程度的名词,“biodiversity”意为“生物多样性”,“rich biodiversity”表示“丰富的生物多样性”,符合草原生态系统的特点,所以第二空填“biodiversity”。
- 第三空:根据后文“livestock are moved to enable pastures to recover”可知,这种放牧方式是让牲畜移动以让牧场恢复,“rotational grazing”是固定短语,意为“轮牧”,符合这种放牧方式的描述,所以第三空填“rotational”。
- 第四空:前文提到“modern pressures like climate change and excessive grazing”,这些压力会导致草原生态恶化,“desertification”意为“荒漠化”,与“endangering the fragile balance of these ecosystems”相呼应,说明这些压力加速了草原的荒漠化,所以第四空填“desertification”。
- 第五空:结合前文提到的可持续管理以及后文“the capacity to adjust to difficulties”,“sustainability”意为“可持续性”,强调生态系统和人类活动能够持续发展,符合语境,所以第五空填“sustainability”。
- 第六空:“resilience”意为“韧性,适应力”,与“the capacity to adjust to difficulties”意思相符,即能够适应困难的能力,所以第六空填“resilience”。
- 第七空:“heritage”意为“遗产,传承”,“cultural heritage”表示“文化传承”,这里指在适应困难的同时要保留文化传承,所以第七空填“heritage”。
- 第八空:根据常识,马赛人主要生活在非洲的萨瓦纳草原,“savanna”意为“萨瓦纳草原”,所以第八空填“savanna”。
