单选题 The sparse distribution of longleaf pine trees leads to the most diversity of species.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】解析:利用细节信息“sparse distribution”和“diversity of species”定位于原文第二段前三句话“In longleaf pine forests,trees grow widely scattered,creating an open,park-likeenvironment...This openness creates a forest floor that is among the most diverse in theworld…”。原文中“grow widely scattered”对应题目中的“sparse distribution”,原文中“diverse”对应题目中的“diversity of species”。题目与原文表述的信息一致,所以正确答案为True。
单选题 It is easier to restore forests converted to farms than forests converted to plantations.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】解析:利用细节信息“farms”和“plantations”定位于原文倒数第二段后半部分“In areaswhere the land has not been chewed up by farming,but converted to loblolly or slash pineplantations,the seed bank…remains viable…In time,this original vegetation can be coaxedback.Where agriculture has destroyed the seeds,however,wiregrass must be replanted...the expense is prohibitive…”。很明显,这里提及如果转化成plantations,最初的植被还能恢复(original vegetation can be coaxed back),但是如果转化成了农场(对应原文的“agriculture”),则很难恢复,而且花费出奇得高(the expense is prohibitive),而题目却说转化为农场后更容易复原。题目信息与原文信息相矛盾,所以正确答案为False。
单选题 The cost to restore forest is increasing recently.
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】解析:利用顺序原则和细节信息“The cost to restore forest”定位于倒数第二段最后一句话“Right now,the expense is prohibitive,but researchers are searching for low-cost solutions”,但是这里只提及恢复森林价格昂贵,却未提及价格是否上升。题目信息在原文信息的基础上无法判断,所以正确答案为Not Given。
单选题 Few can live to see the replanted forest reach its maturity.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】解析:利用顺序原则和细节信息“replanted forest”和“maturity”定位于原文最后一段第二句话“Few of us will be alive when the pines being planted today become mature forests in70 to 80 years”。很明显,题目信息与原文信息一致,所以正确答案为True。
