六、跨学科 冰川现状 (2026·宜兴树人中学阶段检测改编)阅读理解(9分)
The United Nations decided that 2025 was the year of glacier(冰川) protection. It set 21 March 2025 as the first World Day for Glaciers. This event encouraged people to save glaciers.
What are glaciers?
You can imagine glaciers as slowly-moving ice and snow on land. Over time, the snow adds up and turns into glacier ice. Glaciers have shaped mountains over the earth's history. They are still moving and changing land in many places today.
Glaciers are not just needed for the land. When glaciers melt, the nutrients(养料) from the water are good for life in rivers and oceans. In some places, glaciers provide water for people and animals. Glaciers in the world cover about 10% of the land. They also hold about 70% of the earth's fresh water. In areas like the Himalayas, many people need glacier water to live. This water fills big rivers, such as the Indus, Ganges and Brahmaputra.
Why are glaciers disappearing(消失)?
Climate change is leading to serious problems for glaciers. Many glaciers have disappeared. The atmosphere(大气层) around the earth is like the glass of a greenhouse, letting sunlight in and keeping most heat from getting out. This makes the earth warm enough for life. But when we burn wood and coal, we produce a gas called carbon dioxide. Too much of this gas pollutes the atmosphere and causes it to keep in too much heat. As the earth's temperature is increasing, glaciers melt faster.
The influence(影响) of glaciers disappearing
If glaciers disappear, there will be less water for us to drink and farm, while floods may happen more often. Mountains with glaciers are home to special ecosystems and a large number of animals. As temperatures rise and glaciers melt, glaciers will not be fit for these living things.

六、[文章大意]联合国将2025年定为冰川保护年,并将2025年3月21日定为首个世界冰川日。本文主要介绍了冰川的定义、重要性、消失的原因及消失带来的影响,呼吁人们保护冰川。
1. C [解析]细节理解题。根据第二段中的“You can imagine glaciers as slowly-moving ice and snow on land ... They are still moving and changing land in many places today.”可知,冰川缓慢移动且会改变地貌。故选C。
2. B [解析]推理判断题。空处下面的段落主要介绍了冰川对生物、人类的作用,重点说明冰川的重要性,因此空处应是“冰川为什么重要?”。故选B。
3. A [解析]推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The atmosphere(大气层) around the earth is like the glass of a greenhouse, letting sunlight in and keeping most heat from getting out.”可知,大气层让阳光进入,同时阻挡大部分热量散失。选项A的图示符合这一描述。故选A。
