2. 看到similar就說明第二段說的和第一段一樣。
3. But轉折是重點
Many of the changes to Earth that concern scientists have the potential to rob the planet of its biological richness. The destruction of Earth's ozone layer (臭氧層), for example, could contribute to the general process of impoverishment by allowing ultra-violet rays to harm plants and animals. And global warming could wipe out species unable to quickly adapt to changing climates. Clearly, protecting will come only through coordinated international efforts to control human population, stabilize the composition of the atmosphere, and preserve intact Earth's complex web life(小并列不重要).
36.Why does the author say that the protection of endangered species is a highly controversial issue?
A) Because people can't agree as to what species to protect.
B) Because it is difficult to find an effective way to protect such species.
C) Because it affects the interests of certain groups of people.
D) Because it is a major problem involving a series of legal procedures.
注：細節題。第一段economic interests
●表示絕對的詞(滅絕師太)--出現在文章中，是非常重要的出題點;如果出現在選項中，很可能是不對的。
(滅)全無：none-nothing-never-seldom-hardly-little-few-prevent-exclude-neither…nor
(絕)全有：all- absolutely-every-full-either…or…
唯一：only-exactly- best-most
37.According to the passage, the preservation of rain forests ________.
A) may hamper a developing country in its fight against poverty.
B) benefits developed countries rather than developing countries.
C) should take priority over the control of human population.
D) will help improve the living conditions in developing countries.(反：和諧了)
注：細節題，對應文章第二段。舉例前那句話更重要，只要表達出"和經濟利益沖突"就對了。多看到最后的文章，則可能會選C，所以盡量少看。

A) will widen the gap between the developed and the developing countries.
B) is but a short-term relief to the food problem.
C) can hardly alleviate the shortage of food.

注：對應文章第二段。Short-term對應temporarily，relief對應avoid。

is _______.
A) the impoverishment of developing countries.(跨段信息，錯)
B) the explosion of the human population.

1. 例子如何處理：重要的一定看明白，不重要的不看
2. 哪些重要(轉折、例子前后的話、滅絕的東西)，哪些不重要(例子內容、小的并列<如水果的例子>)
