D.Disapproving.答案B解析觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。由第四段可知,聯(lián)合國希望在2021年之后能夠控制飛機(jī)的碳排放量,但是這缺乏力度,因?yàn)橹灰娇展咀龀鲅a(bǔ)償就還能繼續(xù)排放碳,作者因此持疑心態(tài)度,故B項(xiàng)。27.Whichofthefollowingisclosestinmeaningtotheunderlinedword“evaporates〞inParagraph3?A.Disappears. B.Strengthens.C.Clarifies. D.Challenges.答案A解析詞義猜想題。由第三段可知,談到不吃肉、騎自行車出行和吃本地食物的生態(tài)效應(yīng)時人們都滔滔不絕,但是談到坐飛機(jī)的時候,這些聲音就消失了,從語境以及關(guān)鍵詞noisy,But和noise可推知,evaporate意為“消失〞。CWheatisamainsourceoffoodforpeopleacrosstheplanet,accountingforafifthofthecaloriesconsumedglobally.Butasaresultofclimatechange,scientistsbelievemostpartsoftheworldwherethecropisgrownwillbehitbywatershortagesbytheendofthecentury.AndtheUScouldbeamongthecountriesworstaffected,theauthorsoftheresearchpublishedinthejournalScienceAdvancestoldNewsweek.Ifclimatechangeisn’tdealtwith,bytheyear2100,60percentofareasthatgrowwheatwillbehitbywaterscarcity—upfromthecurrentlevelof15percent,accordingtotheinternationalteamofscientists.Co-authorsMiroslavTrnkaandSongFengtoldNewsweekthatintheirpreviousresearch,theyhadshownclimatechangemaycausesoiltobecomelessmoist(濕潤的)acrossmostmainlandUSstates,includingthosewherewheatisgrown.Asaresult,theUScouldbe“oneofthetopmostaffectedwheatproducers〞intermsoftheincreaseinareasaffectedbyseveredroughts,theysaidinajointstatement.Worryingly,existingresearchhaspredicteda4.0to6.5percentdropinglobalwheatproductionper1degreeCelsiusofwarmingifclimatechangeisn’teased.Andit’sunlikelythatwheatcanbereplacedifwaterbecomesscarce,asit’snotasthirstyasothercropsandcandowithoutwaterforarelativelylongperiodoftime.“Ifmultipleregionsareaffectedbydroughtatthesametime,itmightbedifficulttomeetthedemandevenifthetraderoutesstayopenandarenotrestrictedbygovernmentalmeasures,〞warnedFengandTrnka.However,theysaid,“Studiesshowthatifwecontinuouslyimprovethesustainabilityandtechnologiesinthecomingdecadesandallowforinternationaltrade,wemayovercomethenegativeimpactsofclimatechange.〞28.Howwillclimatechangehurtwheatproduction?A.Byloweringthetemperature.B.Byreducingthewatersupply.C.Bypollutingthesoil.D.Byfloodingthefield.答案B解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第二句可知,由于氣候變化,小麥種植地將受到缺水的影響,又根據(jù)第四段可知,缺水會影響小麥產(chǎn)量,應(yīng)選B項(xiàng)。29.WhatcanwelearnfromParagraph3?A.WheatproductioncauseddroughtsinmostmainlandUSstates.B.TheUnitedStatesisthebiggestwheatproducerintheworld.C.TheUnitedStateswillsufferalotfromclimatechange.D.ClimatechangeiscloselywatchedbyAmericanscientists.答案C解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的內(nèi)容,尤其是“theUScouldbe‘oneofthetopmostaffectedwheatproducers’〞可推知,美國將在氣候變化中受到很大影響,應(yīng)選C項(xiàng)。30.Whyiswheatunlikelytobereplacedbyothercropsinadrought?A.Itistheprimaryfoodformostcountries.B.Itisnotinfluencedbyglobalwarming.C.Itiswidelygrowninmostcountries.D.Itneedslesswaterthanothercrops.答案D解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段最后一句可知,小麥不像其他作物那樣需要水,在相當(dāng)長的一段時間內(nèi)沒有水也能存活,因此小麥不太可能被其他作物取代,應(yīng)選D項(xiàng)。31.Inwhichsectionofanewspapermaythistextappear?A.Health. B.Science.C.Education. D.Entertainment.答案B解析推理判斷題。通讀全文可知,這是一篇有關(guān)氣候變化對小麥產(chǎn)量的影響的文章,由此可推知,本文可能出現(xiàn)在報紙的科學(xué)版塊,應(yīng)選B項(xiàng)。DAsicemeltsinWestAntarctica,thegroundbeneathisquicklyrising—aprocessthatcouldpreventthecatastrophic(突難性的)collapseoficesheets,accordingtoresearchers.AstudypublishedinthejournalScienceprovidesaglimmer(一絲)ofhopeforaregionaffectedbyclimatechange.Inrecentyears,severalstudieshavewarnedthattheicesheet,whichcontributestoaquarterofmeltediceworldwideannually,isveryeasytobreakup.Scientistsfearevenslightlymeltingcouldcauseglobalsealevelstoriseby3meters.ResearchersattheTechnicalUniversityofDenmarksetouttoanswerhowthebedrockunderneaththeicesheetofWestAntarcticabehavesastheicemelts.Tostudytheland,theteamanalyzeddatacollectedbyhigh-precisionGPSequipmentpositionedonremoterockformationsinWestAntarctica,whichmeasuredmovementsofthelanddowntothemillimeterovera10-yearperiod.“Afteraheroicefforttoinstallandmaintainthenetworkofsensorsinoneoftheleastaccessibleplacesontheplanet,theteamhasbeenrewardedwithincrediblyvaluabledata,whichtellanincrediblestoryabouttheEarth,〞wroteValentinaBarletta.TheteamfoundthattheEarthwaspushingthebedrocktorisefasterthanexpected.In2021,thesurfaceroseby41millimeters:fourtofivetimesquickerthanpredicted.In100years,thelandcouldbeupto10metershigherthanitiscurrently.Itishopedthatastheicemelts,theEarth’scrust(地殼)willbouncebackmuchfasterthanpreviouslyexpected.Inturn,thiscouldstabilizewhattheresearchersdescribedasthe“catastrophiccollapse〞oftheicesheet.BarlettatoldNewsweektheicesheetwillneverbestableifglobalwarmingbecomestooextreme.“Reducingthegreenhousegaswillgivetheicesheetabetterchanceofsurvivalbecausethatwouldallowsomeknownandunknownfeedbacktocreatebetterconditionsfortheice,〞shesaid.32.WhathappenstoWestAntarcticaasicemelts?A.Thegroundbeneathisgettingtaller.B.Itsicesheetsbreakupcompletely.C.Globalsealevelsriseby3meters.D.Climatechangecomestoanend.答案A解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第一句中的“AsicemeltsinWestAntarctica,thegroundbeneathisquicklyrising〞可知,隨著冰融化,西南極洲地下局部迅速上升。應(yīng)選A項(xiàng)。33.Whydoresearchersusehigh-precisionGPSequipment?A.Tofindoutwhethertheicesheetisveryeasytobreakup.B.Tofindouttheconnectionbetweenthebedrockandicemelting.C.Tofindoutwhatreallyaffectsthespeedoficemelting.D.TofindoutwhenWestAntarcticawilldisappeartotally.答案B解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“setouttoanswerhowthebedrockunderneaththeicesheetofWestAntarcticabehavesastheicemelts.Tostudytheland,theteamanalyzeddatacollectedbyhigh-precisionGPSequipment〞可知,研究人員使用這一設(shè)備的目的在于研究冰蓋下的基巖與冰融化之間的聯(lián)系。應(yīng)選B項(xiàng)。34.Howdidtheresearchteamfeelaboutthestudyresult?A.Disappointed.
