  1) Though often viewed as a problem for western states, the growing frequency of wildfires is a national concern because of its impact on federal tax dollars, says Professor Max Moritz, a specialist in fire ecology and management.

  2) In 2015, the US Forest Service for the first time spent more than half of its $5.5 billion annual budget fighting fires-nearly double the percentage it spent on such efforts 20 years ago. In effect, fewer federal funds today are going towards the agency's other work-such as forest conservation, watershed and cultural resources management, and infrastructure upkeep-that affect the lives of all Americans.

  3) Another nationwide concern is whether public funds from other agencies are going into construction in fire-prone districts. As Moritz puts it, how often are federal dollars building homes that are likely to be lost to a wildfire?

  4) “It's already a huge problem from a public expenditure perspective for the whole country,” he says. We need to take a magnifying glass to that. Like, “Wait a minute, is this OK?” “Do we want instead to redirect those funds to concentrate on lower-hazard parts of the landscape?”

  5) Such a view would require a corresponding shift in the way US society today views fire, researchers say.

  6) For one thing, conversations about wildfires need to be more inclusive. Over the past decade, the focus has been on climate change-how the warming of the Earth from greenhouse gases is leading to conditions that worsen fires.

  7) While climate is a key element, Moritz says, it shouldn't come at the expense of the rest of the equation.

  8) “The human systems and the landscapes we live on are linked, and the interactions go both ways,” he says. Failing to recognize that, he notes, leads to “an overly simplified view of what the solutions might be. Our perception of the problem and of what the solution is becomes very limited.”

  9) At the same time, people continue to treat fire as an event that needs to be wholly controlled and unleashed only out of necessity, says Professor Balch at the University of Colorado. But acknowledging fire's inevitable presence in human life is an attitude crucial to developing the laws, policies, and practices that make it as safe as possible, she says.

  10) “We've disconnected ourselves from living with fire,” Balch says. “It is really important to understand and try and tease out what is the human connection with fire today.”

       答案解析:

  36.选项[B]正确。

  段明确指出:日益频繁的森林大火因其对联邦税款的不良影响而发展为举国关切之事,第二段①句例证其对联邦税款的不良影响:2015年,美国林务局将超过一半的预算用于对抗森林大火,故[B]正确。

  37.选项[D]正确。

  第四段②句直指莫里茨建议:要用放大镜来看待“是否将联邦资金投人林火易发区建设”这个全国性大问题;③④句进而以正反设问的方式解释说明抽象概念“用放大镜看待”:等一等,这么投放可行不可行?要不要将其投向该地景的低风险区域?换而言之,要多提问、多审思以确保联邦资产的投向准确无误.故[D]正确。

  38.选项[C]正确。

  第七段明确指出莫里茨观点:气候尽管是一个关键要素,但不应以牺牲其他影响因素为代价,故[C]正确。

  39.选项[D]正确。

  第八段首先指出人文与地景的关系:相互关联、相互影响;随后指出不认识这一关系的后果:对可能性解决措施的看法过于简化,故[D]正确。

  40.选项[B]正确。

  第九段间接引用鲍尔奇教授之言指出:现如今的人们认为火灾是可以被全面控制的,而事实是,人们必须承认火灾是不可避免之物:第十段直接引用鲍尔奇教授的话指出:现如今的人们业已切断与火灾的关联,而事实是,理解人与火灾的关联并梳理好这一关联至关重要。由此可见,鲍尔奇教授认为火灾不可避免、人与火灾密不可分、人类应与火灾和谐共存,故[B]正确。
