D.Beautiful.答案B解析詞義猜測題。根據(jù)最后一部分可知,要想在迪斯尼樂園的高級餐廳吃飯,需要先交給俱樂部2.5萬美元,外加1.2萬美元的年費,所以在此吃飯消費很高。BWhenshefirststartedlearningabouttheclimatechangefromoneofherelders,FawnSharpwasinvitedonahelicopterflightovertheOlympicMountainstosurveytheMountAndersonglacier.Buttheglacierwasgone,meltedbythewarmingclimate.Sharphadadeepsenseoflosswhenshediscoveredtheglacierwasn’tthereanymore.Lossisagrowingissueforpeopleworkingandlivingonthefrontlinesofclimatechange.AndthatgaveJenniferWrenAtkinson,afulltimelecturerattheUniversityofWashingtonBothell,US,anideaforaclass.Thisterm,shetaughtstudentsontheBothellcampusabouttheemotionalburdensofenvironmentalstudies.SheusedtheexperiencesofNativeAmericantribes(部落),scientistsandactivists,andaskedher24studentstofacetherealitythatthereisnoeasyfix—that“thisissuchanintractableproblemthatthey’regoingtobedealingwithitfortherestoftheirlives”.StudentCodyDillonusedtobeaclimatescienceskeptic(懷疑論者).Thenhedidhisownreadingandresearch,andchangedhismind.Dillonwasn’tgoingintoenvironmentalwork—hewasaputersciencemajor.Yet,thepotentialforaworldwideenvironmentalcatastropheseemedsorealtohimfiveyearsagothathequithisjobandbecameafulltimevolunteerforanenvironmentalgroupthatworkedonrestoration(恢復)projects.Sixmonthsintothework,hedecidedthatAtkinson’sclasswasjustwhathewaslookingfor—aplacewherehecoulddiscusshisconcernsaboutachangingclimate.Atkinsonsaidshehopedtheclasshelpedherstudentspreparethemselvesfortheamountofenvironmentallossthatwillhappenovertheirlifetimes.“Wearealreadychangingtheplanet—somanyspeciesaregoingtobelost,displacedormassivelyimpacted,”shesaid.“Thefutureisn’tgoingtobewhattheyimagined.”【語篇解讀】本文是一篇記敘文。一次搭乘直升機飛行的經(jīng)歷使FawnSharp認識到了冰川融化的嚴重性,于是JenniferWrenAtkinson給學生開設了課程,教學生如何面對氣候變化,她的課程讓很多學生關注環(huán)境問題。24.WhydidtheauthormentionthecaseofFawnSharp?A.TolayabasisforFawnSharp’sfurtherresearch.B.ToproveFawnSharp’sworkissimilartoAtkinson’s.C.Toleadintotheissueoflosscausedbyclimatechange.D.Toshowscientists’concernabouttheMountAndersonglacier.答案C解析推理判斷題。通讀第一段可知,FawnSharp在一次直升機飛行中意識到氣候變化導致了冰川融化。由此可推知,作者在第一段中提及FawnSharp的例子是為了引出下文氣候變化導致環(huán)境問題的話題,故選C項。25.What’sthemainpurposeofAtkinson’sclass?A.Toexplorehowdifferentpeopledealwithclimatechange.B.Togetstudentsmoreconcernedabouttheenvironmentalissue.C.TofindsolutionstotheenvironmentalissueofOlympicMountains.D.Toteachstudentshowtoconductresearchaboutenvironment.答案B解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段內容可知,她給學生講環(huán)境研究的情感壓力,她讓她的24個學生面對沒有簡單的解決方法這一事實。由此可知,Atkinson的課程目的是讓學生們更加關注環(huán)境問題,故選B項。26.Whichofthefollowingwordsbestexplains“intractable”underlinedinParagraph3?A.Simple. B.Difficult.C.mon. D.Interesting.答案B解析詞義猜測題。根據(jù)上文可知,Atkinson用美洲土著部落、科學家以及積極分子們的經(jīng)歷讓她的24個學生面對沒有簡單的解決方法這個事實,結合該句句意可知,這是一個如此困難的問題以至于學生們將用他們的余生來解決它,故選B項。27.HowdidAtkinson’sclassinfluenceDillon?A.Itmadehimworkasaparttimevolunteerforrestorationprojects.B.Itmadehimrealizeaplanetwideclimatedisasterwouldhappen.C.Itencouragedhimtobemoreinvolvedinenvironmentalprotection.D.Itdiscouragedhimtoworkonrestorationprojectsfortheenvironment.答案C解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段的“Sixmonthsintothework...discusshisconcernsaboutachangingclimate.”可知,Dillon在環(huán)保組織做了六個月志愿者之后,他認為在Atkinson的課堂上他可以討論他對氣候變化的擔憂。由此可推知,Atkinson的課程鼓勵Dillon參與環(huán)境保護,故選C項。CWorldEnvironmentDayiscelebratedannuallyonJune5thandwascreatedtoinspirepeoplearoundtheglobetotakeanactivepartinenvironmentalprotectionandlearnmoreaboutwayswecanhelptoguaranteethefutureofourplanetissafe.TheveryfirstWorldEnvironmentDaytookplacein1974,establishedbytheUnitedNationsGeneralAssemblyonthefirstdayoftheStockholmConferenceontheHumanEnvironmentthattookplacein1972.EachyeartheUnitedNationspicksathemeandahostcitywhereanyonewhoisconcernedabouttheenvironmentcantalkaboutenvironmentaltopicswithothers,followedbydifferentkindsofexhibitstopromoteenvironmentalawareness.Environmentalists,academicsandscientistsetogethertobringnewideasonthetableconcerningtheenvironment.The2018WorldEnvironmentDaywashostedbyIndia,andthethemewasBeatPlasticPollution.Iturgedpeopletoexploreandchoosesupportablealternativeslikepaperorclothbagstoreducetheproductionanduseofdisposableplastic,whichmadeup10%ofallofthewaste.EventhoughtheUnitedNationspicksaspecifichostcityeveryyear,peoplearoundtheworldstillcelebrateWorldEnvironmentDayintheirhometownswithparades(游行),concerts,cleaningup,treeplantingandallkindsofgreenactionstoworktowardshavingabeautifulplanetandbattlingpollution.WorldEnvironmentDayisnotapublicholiday,soyouwon’tbegettingthedayoffworkorschool,butifyouwanttocelebrate,whynotbringittotheattentionofyourparents,friends,colleaguesorclassmates?WorldEnvironmentDayisallaboutworkingtogethertotakeactionfortheplanet,sotrytogeteveryoneyouknowinterestedinhelpingdosomething.Thingsassmallasmakingsurepeoplehaveawaytorecyclecanmakeadifference.Youcouldalsotrybeautifyingyourneighbourhoodbyplantinggardens,learnaboutgreenfoods,raisemoneyforalocalwildlifeconservationgrouporsimplylearnabouttheeffectsofdifferentproductsontheearth.【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了世界環(huán)境日的由來和發(fā)展狀況,呼吁全員行動起來幫助保護地球。28.WhyisWorldEnvironmentDaysetup?A.Tomakepeopleknowmoreaboutnature.B.Toaskpeopletohelptoprotecttheglobe.C.Towarnpeopleofthedangerofairpollution.D.Toencouragepeopletoplantheearth’sfuture.答案B解析細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段內容可知,世界環(huán)境日的目的是鼓勵世界各地的人們積極參與環(huán)境保護,并學會用更多的方法來幫助確保我們的地球將來是安全的,故選B項。29.WhatdopeopledoonWorldEnvironmentDay?A.Decideahostcity.B.Holdathemeparty.C.Discussenvironmentalideas.D.Showsomeplasticproducts.答案C解析細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中最后兩句內容可知,人們在這一天主要是討論環(huán)境問題,故選C項。30.Whichofthefollowingwordsisclosestinmeaningtotheunderlinedword“disposable”inParagraph3?A.Highcost.B.Poorquality.C.Secondhand.D.Singleuse.答案D解析詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第三段中的“BeatPlasticPollution”,結合后面的句子“Iturgedpeopletoexploreandchoosesupportablealternativeslikepaperorclothbags”和“whichmadeup10%ofallofthewaste”可知,disposableplastic造成了大量資源浪費,所以“一次性的”符合語境,故選D項。31.What’sthemainideaofthelastparagraph?A.Everybitofeffortcounts.B.Doingisbetterthansaying.C.Manyhandsmakelightwork.D.Nothingisimpossibletoawillingheart.答案A解析段落大意題。通讀最后一段的內容可知,該段主要是講每個人都可以從身邊小事做起,積極行動起來保護地球,每個人的微小努力都很重要,故選A項。DPopulationdataforEuropeanmountainbirdshavebeenforthefirsttimebinedinarecentstudy,withworryingresults:theabundanceofmountainspecialistbirdshasdeclinedbyasmuchas10%inthe2000s.Ecologicalmunitiesinmountainareasincludespeciesnotfoundinanyotherhabitats.Thesespeciesarealsoverysusceptibletoclimatechange,asglobalwarmingisreducingtheirliveablehabitats.Inprinciple,speciesmayrelocatefurtherupthemountains,butclosertothetoptheirhabitatinevitablyshrinks.Accordingtothenewarticle,theabundanceofEuropeanmountainbirdshasinfactdeclinedinlinewithclimatechangeprojections.Therecentlyreleasedstudyexaminedthepopulationtrendsof44birdspeciesinthe2000sinthemountainandfellregionsofFennoscandia,GreatBritain,theAlpsandtheIberianPeninsula.Adeclinewasseenin14oftheobservedspecies,whileeightofthemsawsignificantincrease.“Onaverage,populationdeclineamongthespeciesstudiedwas7%overthe13yearresearchperiod,makingthesituationofmountainbirdsdistinctlyworseparedto,forexample,Europeanforestbirds,whosenumbersdidnotchangeduringthesameperiod,”explainsAleksiLehikoinen,anAcademyofFinlandresearchfellowattheFinnishMuseumofNaturalHistoryLuomus(partoftheUniversityofHelsinki),whoheadedthestudy.ThesituationisdirestforspeciesthatonlyinhabitmountainregionsandareunabletoliveinotherEuropeanenvironments.Forthesespecies,knownasmountainspecialists,thenumbersdwindledbyasmuchas10%duringthemonitoringperiod.【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文。本文介紹了生活在歐洲的山鳥的生存狀況。這些山鳥對氣候變化非常敏感,而日趨嚴重的溫室效應破壞了它們原本的棲息地,而它們卻又無法在更高的地方生存,所以數(shù)量越來越少。32.WhatcanwegetfromthepassageaboutEuropeanmountainbirds?A.Theyarenewlyfoundspecies.B.Theycanbefoundatanyplace
