大学英语阅读答案2

To fight for the conservation of forest ecosystem, several ecologists including Daniel Janzen convinced Del Oro, an orange juice producer, to donate part of their forestland to a national park.

为了保护森林生态系统，包括丹尼尔·詹岑在内的几位生态学家说服橙汁生产商德尔·奥罗将部分林地捐给国家公园。

In return, Del Oro was allowed to throw large amounts of waste in the form of oran剧peels (on a 3-hectare piece of land within the national park atno cost. Dealing with tons of leftover peels usually involved burning them or paying to have them poured into a landfill, so the proposal was very attractive.

作为回报，Del Oro被允许以oran剧peels的形式（在国家公园内的一块3公顷的土地上）投掷大量垃圾，不收取任何费用。处理成吨的剩余果皮通常需要烧掉或者花钱让人把它们倒进垃圾填埋场，所以这个提议很有吸引力。

But a year later, another juice company challenged the deal in court, arguing that theircompetitor was "polluting a national park". They ended up winning， and the deal between Del Oro and the national park fell through.Then in 2013, while discussing possible research avenues with Timothy Treuer, Daniel Janzen mentioned the orange story.

但一年后，另一家果汁公司在法庭上对这笔交易提出质疑，称他们竞争对手正在“污染国家公园”。他们最终赢了，德尔奥罗和国家公园之间的交易失败了通过。然后2013年，在与蒂莫西·特雷尔讨论可能的研究途径时，丹尼尔·詹森提到了橙色的故事。

Feeling interested, Treuer decided to stop by that piece of land that had been covered with fruit waste 15 years earlier. What he found shocked him. “While 1 would walk over exposed rock and dead grass in the nearby fields, I'd have to climb through undergrowth and cut paths through walls of vi藤)|s ih the orange peel site itself." said Timothy Treuer.

特雷尔感到很有兴趣，决定到15年前那片被水果废料覆盖的土地上去。他的发现使他震惊。蒂莫西·特鲁尔说：“当我在附近的田野里走过裸露的岩石和枯草时，我就得爬过矮树丛，在橘子皮遗址的墙壁上开辟小路。”。

Treuer and his team spent months picking up sa样p品is analyzing and comparing them.They found great differences between the areas covered with orange peels and those that were not. The area with orange waste had richer soil. The effect that the orange peels had on the land is probably not that surprising to people familiar with composting 施肥).

特雷尔和他的团队花了几个月的时间收集萨普的资料，并对他们进行分析和比较。他们发现橘皮覆盖的区域和没有橘皮覆盖的区域有很大的区别。橘渣地区土壤肥沃。橘子皮对土地的影响对熟悉堆肥的人来说可能并不奇怪。

but what is really shocking is that a judge actually thought the waste oforange“mined” a national park and stopped it from going forward. Now that Timothy Treuer's study has received worldwide attention, this type of“ruining” is being seriously considered as a way of bringing forests back to life.

但真正令人震惊的是，一位法官竟然认为奥弗兰的废物“开采”了一个国家公园，并阻止了它的发展。现在，蒂莫西·特雷尔的研究受到了全世界的关注，这种“破坏”正被严肃地认为是使森林恢复生机的一种方式。

答案：1——4：CCBA

这部分主要考察的是现在进行时的知识点：

现在进行时英语的一种时态，表示现在进行的动作或存在的状态。在英语时态中，“时“指动作发生的时间，”态“指动作的样子和状态。现在进行时表示动作发生的时间是“现在”，动作目前的状态是“正在进行中”。

以l结尾的动词，如果动词原形以非重读音节结尾，则末尾的字母l双写与不双写均可。其中不双写的是美式拼写。

部分以-p结尾的动词同样遵循第6条，这类词多由“前缀+名词”构成。如果动词原形以非重读音节结尾，则末尾的字母p双写与不双写均可。其中不双写的是美式拼写。
