D ‎【解析】‎ ‎【例3】The need to feed a growing population is putting much pressure on the world’s supply of water.With 97% of the world’s water too salty to be drunk or ‎ used in agriculture，the worldwide supply of water needs careful management，especially in agriculture.Although the idea of a water shortage(短缺) seems strange to someone fortunate enough to live in a high rainfall country，many of the world’s agriculture industries experience constant water shortages.‎ Although dams can be built to store water for agricultural use in dry areas and dry seasons，the costs of water redistribution(重新分配) are very high.Not only is there the cost of the engineering itself，but there is also an environmental cost to be considered.Where valleys(山谷) are flooded to create dams，houses are lost and wildlife homes destroyed.Besides，water may flow easily through pipes to fields，but it cannot be transported from one side of the world to the other.Each country must therefore rely on the management of its own water to supply its farming requirements.‎ This is particularly troubling for countries with agricultural industries in areas dependent on irrigation(灌溉).In Texas，farmers’ overuse of irrigation water has resulted in a 25% reduction of the water stores.In the Central Valley area of southwestern USA，a huge water engineering project provided water for farming in dry valleys，but much of the water use has been poorly managed.‎ Saudi Arabia’s attempts to grow wheat in desert areas have seen the pumping of huge quantities of irrigation water from underground reserves.Because there is no rainfall in these areas，such reserves can only decrease，and it is believed that fifty years of pumping will see them run dry. （2010安徽卷，E）‎ ‎74.What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?‎ A.Steps to improve water use management.‎ B.Ways to reduce the costs of building dams.‎ C.Measures to deal with worldwide water shortages.‎ D.Approaches to handle the pressure on water supply.‎ ‎【答案】A ‎【解析】篇章结构题。文章论述了水资源匮乏的原因，可采取的措施及严峻的用水形式，本题A、B、C、D四项中极有可能再论述到的内容应是对有限的水资源的充分利用问题。‎ 规律方法： 如何分析段落层次段落层次、写作方法和行文走势？‎ 解答此类题目首先要了解文章结构，从段落组织方式上看，有三种形式：总分式结构(总→分→总；总→分；分→总)、并列式结构(段落之间是平行关系，并且相对独立)、对照式结构(结构形式是一正一反)。要想准确深刻地理解一篇文章，必须对文章的结构有所了解，把握文章的脉搏，特别是把握段与段之间的逻辑关系，然后分析作者采用了什么论证手段（举例、比较、类比等）证明主题，从而正确解答试题。近几年还有些试题考查全文或某一段落是以什么样的形式展开论述的，一般来说有的按事情发展的顺序，有的按时间的先后顺序，有的按人物的活动内容，还有的按地点或空间的位置变换，阅读时要特别注意。‎ ‎【变式精练】‎ ‎【黑龙江省双鸭山市第一中学2017届高三9月月考】‎ ‎ The main reason people come to America is said to be that they can chase the American Dream. Everyone has heard of it, and many have died fighting for it. The only thing is that there is no clear definition of the American Dream. It is not defined by one dream, but by all the opportunities that the United States offers. Since the founding of the United States, people have been striving to define the American Dream.‎ ‎ In the play Death of a Salesman, every character is trying to realize his own version of the American Dream. Willy feels that he has done so. He has spent his whole life as a not very successful salesman. As he gets older, he starts having conflicts with everyone in his life, and feels that only by killing himself will the people around him be able to finally be happy.‎ ‎ Bernard, on the other hand, feels that the American Dream can only be achieved through career success. He shows that through hard work and dedication he will be crowned with success.‎ ‎ The dialogue of the characters reveals the different attitudes they have toward the American Dream, and the reaction of Willy to the fact that Bernard is very successful while he is not.‎ ‎ Many people try to achieve the American Dream, but few actually do so. As with any goal, it takes hard work and dedication to achieve the American Dream. In Death ‎ of a Salesman, all aspects of this goal are examined. For the goal to be achieved, the dream must be an attainable one which is worth working toward. It also must be a dream that the professional world accepts and finds useful.‎ What would be the correct structure of the text?‎ ‎【方法指导】文章的基本结构是高考阅读测试的目标之一。从其考查内容而言，可分为三种：考查考生对整个文章结构的组织能力；考查考生对后文内容的预测能力；考查考生对文章写作手法、修辞手段的鉴赏能力。‎ A篇章结构主要的设题方式常有： ‎ ‎（1）How is the passage organized?‎ ‎（2）Which of the following best shows the structure/organization of the passage? ‎ ‎（3）What will the author most probably talk about next?‎ ‎（4）The author develops the passage mainly by _________.‎ ‎（5）The first paragraph serves as a（n）  __________.‎ ‎（6）The example of … is given to show/illustrate that__________. B篇章结构主要的解题策略常有：‎ ‎（1）了解文章结构的组织形式。从段落组织方式上讲，常见的文章结构有三种：总分式结构（总→分；总→分→总；分→总）、并列式结构（段落之间是平行关系，并且相对独立）、对照式结构（结构形式上是一正一反）。‎ ‎（2）了解文章的论证方法。从论证方法上讲，常见的议论文结构有以下两类： Put forward a question →Analyze the question → Solve the question 即“提出问题、分析问题、解决问题”的过程；Argument/idea → Evidence → conclusion/ restating the idea 即“由论点到论据到结论或者强调论点”的过程。‎ ‎（3）了解文章的修辞手法。从修辞手法上讲，在高考阅读中主要考查下定义、分类说明、列举例证和对比等写作手法。其中，“引用”和“例证”是议论文和说明文中最常用的写作手法之一。是历年高考阅读试题中必不可缺的命题方向。“引用”和“例证”的共同目的就是增强说服力，以更好的达到说理、说明的目的。“引用”和“例证”的共同功能就是服务于段落或篇章的主题。‎ B文章结构题。文章开头提出人们为之奋斗的美国梦是什么，提出问题；然后用具体事例说明人们对美国梦的不同理解和做法；最后总结梦想应该是可达到的有用的能接受的，并且为之努力。结构为总-分-总，故选B.‎ ‎（2011安徽卷，B） ‎ Think about the different ways that people use the wind.You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat.Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources(来源)，as well as one of the oldest.Evidence shows that windmills(风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC.They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s，when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.‎ For many centuries，people used windmills to grind(磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground.When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s，people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity.This allowed them to have electric lights and radio.However，by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States，windmills were rarely used.‎ During the 1970s，people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity.People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever.Then，wind was rediscovered，though it means higher costs.Today，there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.‎ ‎4.What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?‎ A.The advantage of wind power.‎ B.The design of wind power plants.‎ C.The worldwide movement to save energy.‎ D.The global trend towards producing power from wind.‎ ‎【答案】D
