问题 综合

探究区域(14 分)发展是人类社会永恒的主题。但不同区域的自然条件有优劣之分,社会发展水平亦千差万别。根据提供的图文资料,分析完成以下问题:

材料一:A、B 区域曾经是人类经济发展的重心,发源于这里的历次产业革命都对世界经济的发展、人类文明的进步产生了巨大的推动作用。材料二:咖啡树是热带性植物,不耐寒。其果实经过烘培、磨制即可烹制出咖啡。咖啡是人类社会流行范围最为广泛的饮料之一。

(1)区域判断 写出图中字母代表的区域名称。A                      B                    

(2)比较异同 比较法是学习区域地理常用的方法之一。请你比较 A、B 两区域地理位置的异同,完成下表。

(3)探究原因 根据所学知识,结合试题中的图文资料解释下列现象的原因。

① 简述 A 区域和 B 国东部人口稠密的原因。

② A 区域和 B 国东北部农业类型都以畜牧业为主,请任选一处分析原因。

答案

(1)欧洲西部   美国

(2)

 相同点不同点
A区域①位于北半球;②都濒临大西洋和北冰洋;③都跨北温带和北寒带①位于东半球;②缺少热带
B国家于西半球;②跨寒、温、热三带
(3)①这些地区的工业发展较早,自然条件优越,地形平坦,气候适宜,交通便利,经济发达,所以人口稠密.②欧洲西部:地处中纬度大陆西岸,地形以平原为主,温带海洋性气候分布广,适宜多汁牧草(“绿色金子”)的生长,畜牧业发达.美国东北部的乳畜带,原因是位置偏北,气候冷湿,适合牧草的生长,是美国的制造业带,城市和人口密集,消费市场大,所以畜牧业发达.③B国大部分地处温带,不适宜咖啡的生长,而C国气候湿热,适合咖啡的生长.

(4)经过巴拿马运河.运输路线如图所示:

题目分析:

(1)读图可知:A为欧洲西部,这里是发达国家最集中的地区,B为美国,是世界最发达的国家.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

                                                                The Mississippi

     The Mississippi is a great river whose relationship with man goes way back beyond its discovery in the

16th century. The River Indians used it as a highway and as a source of food, and it was they who gave it

its name-"misi" meaning "great" and "sipi" meaning "water". When the length of its branch, the Missouri, is

added to it, the Mississippi becomes greater. 1_____. From the source of the Missouri to the tip of the delta

(三角洲), it is 2480 miles long.

     Great rivers are likely to suffer floods. In 1927 the Mississippi flooded 26 thousand acres, sweeping

away farms, towns, everything in its path. In 1938 its floods drowned or killed 200 people and made millions

homeless. Today the river has largely been controlled. 2_____.

     Industries have spread down some of the waterways of the delta, but otherwise the delta is a remote place,

the homeland of a little colony of French Canadians that the British drove out of Nova Scotia in the 18th

century. They still speak French, mixed with English, Indian, Spanish and Negro idioms. They keep to

themselves, farming the rich soil of the delta. 3_____. 

     4_____. Pioneers who first reached its banks wondered not only where it went, but what lay beyond. In

1764 the French founded a city on the right bank of the river, and named it after their king, Louis XV. This

city, named St. Louis, became the jumping-off place for the adventurous men and women who opened up

the Great Plains, and the way to the Far West.

     Some 40 years earlier, at the beginning of the 18th century, the French had founded another city just above

the Mississippi delta, New Orleans. 5_____. New Orleans is one of the great ports of the world, and one of

the greatest terminals for both sea and river traffic.

A. It was the Mississippi that made the city what it is

B. Levees, high banks built of earth, hold back the flood waters

C. Therefore, as we know, it's the third longest river in the world

D. It is known that the "Great Water" has also been a frontier river

E. However, they paddled up and down the Mississippi in their boats to seek their fortune

F. The "Great Water" always remains a thread, for the streets of the city are below the'level of the river

G. They call themselves Cajuns, who have actually been leading fairly primitive lives and preserving their own

     traditions
