B．Light.C．Wild. D．Peaceful.答案C解析詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞下文“evenjustafewmetersfromshore，hadpulledGardinerandAryaapart”可推知，當時的海浪非常兇猛。由此可知，畫線詞ferocious與wild(狂暴的)意思接近。故選C。2．Whatcanwelearnfromthepassage?A．BrassBellRestaurantrewardedTongaiwithsometips.B．Tongaididtherescueperfectlywithoutgettinganyscratch.C．GardinersucceededinwrappingthebeltaroundlittleArya.D．Gardinerwentspeciallytotherestauranttoexpresshergratitude.答案D解析細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“‘Irecentlywenttotherestauranttothankhim，’Gardinertoldlocalnews.”可知，Gardiner專門到那家餐館去表達了她的謝意。故選D。3．WhichofthefollowingwordscanbestdescribeTongai?A．Warm-heartedandconfident.B．Outgoingandcurious.C．Quick-thinkingandcourageous.D．Talkativeandbrave.答案C解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的“Iimmediatelyranoutside，undressedmyself，anddivedintothewaterbecauseIsawachildgoinaswell”和倒數(shù)第二段中的“WearesothankfultoTongaiandthetouristmanwhoriskedtheirlivestosaveours”可知，當時的情況非常兇險，但是Tongai第一時間下水去營救。由此可知，Tongai思維敏捷，勇敢無畏。故選C。4．Whichofthefollowingwouldbethebesttitleforthetext?A．AnActofKindnessB．AHeroicDeedbytheSeaC．ASuddenWavetoHumansD．AnAdventurebytheSea答案B解析B(2023·浙江寧波高一期末)DuringtheCOP27climateconferenceinSharmelSheikh，Egypt，animportantdealon“l(fā)ossanddamage”wasreached.ThiswasabigstepforwardbecauseatCOP26conferenceinGlasgow，Scotland，therewerenotalksonlossanddamageatall.Theplanisthatrichercountrieswillpaymoneyintoaspecialfundthatwillbeusedtohelppoorcountries.Lossanddamagemeansthedamagingimpactofclimatechangeondevelopingcountries.Fornearly30years，poorercountrieshavebeenaskingrichercountriesformoneytohelptoprotectcommunitiesfromtheeffectsofclimatechange.Richercountrieshaveproducedthemostgreenhousegases，butpoorercountriesareoftentheworstaffectedbyextremeweatherconditionsbecausetheyarelesswellequippedtofaceextremeclimateevents.Brazil’snewlyelectedPresidentLuizInacioLuladaSilvamadeaspeechaboutpreservingthelargestrainforestonEarth，theAmazon.Duringthelast50years，morethan17%oftheAmazonrainforesthasbeendestroyedtomakewayforfarmsandtowns.However，inhisspeech，Lulapromisedthattherewouldbezerodeforestation(伐樹)intheAmazonby2030.Theconferencedidn’tjustfocusonworldleaders.Itbroughttogethermorethan45,000peopletodiscusshowclimatechangeisaffectingtheirlives.Climaterefugees(難民)alsohadtheirvoicesheard.TshilombofromtheKakumarefugeecampinKenyasaid，“Refugeesdon’tonlyfleebecauseofwarorconflict.It’salsoaboutdrought，theeffectsofclimatechange.”Somecountriesweren’thappywiththeoveralloutcomeofCOP27becausedecisionsweren’tmadeoncuttingtheuseoffossilfuels，suchascoal，gasandoil，etc.TheUKGovernment’sAlokSharmasaid，“I’mincrediblydisappointed.”However，thisdealwasagreatachievementfordevelopingcountries.SherryRehman，theclimateministerforPakistan，said，“Iamconfidentwehaveturnedacornerinhowweworktogethertoachieveclimategoals.”語篇解讀本文是一篇新聞報道。文章報道了在埃及沙姆沙伊赫舉行的COP27氣候大會就“損失和損害”達成了一項重要協(xié)議。5．WhatisasuccessfuloutcomeoftheCOP27climateconference?A．Thedealonlossanddamage.B．Thedealonusingfossilfuels.C．Thedealonrainforestpreservation.D．Thedealonhelpingclimaterefugees.答案A解析細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段前兩句可知，COP27氣候大會的一項成果是關(guān)于損失和損害的協(xié)議。故選A。6．Whathasmadeitdifficultfordevelopingcountriestofightagainstclimatechange?A．Moregreenhousegases.B．Massivedeforestation.C．Shortageofmoneyandsupplies.D．Terribleweatherconditions.答案C解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容可知，較貧窮的發(fā)展中國家需要較富裕的國家提供資金來抵御氣候變化的影響，因為他們?nèi)鄙傧冗M的設(shè)施，由此可推知，是資金和物資短缺讓發(fā)展中國家難以應(yīng)對氣候變化。故選C。7．Whatcanweinferfromparagraph3?A．Climatechangeisinfluencingpeople’slives.B．17%oftheAmazonrainforestwasdestroyed.C．Manyfactorsleadtotheappearanceofrefugees.D．TherewillbelessdeforestationintheAmazonby2030.答案C解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中“Refugeesdon’tonlyfleebecauseofwarorconflict.It’salsoaboutdrought，theeffectsofclimatechange.”可知，難民不僅僅是因為戰(zhàn)爭或沖突而逃離，還受干旱、氣候變化的影響，由此推知，許多因素導(dǎo)致難民的出現(xiàn)。故選C。8．WhatwouldSherryRehmanprobablyagreewith?A．Neverputofftilltomorrow.B．Manyhandsmakelightwork.C．Knowledgestartswithpractice.D．Nowayisimpossibletocourage.答案B解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中SherryRehman說的話可知，他認為，在如何通過共同努力實現(xiàn)氣候目標方面人類已經(jīng)取得了進展。由此推知SherryRehman會贊同B項“眾人拾柴火焰高”這一說法。A項“今日事，今日畢”；C項“實踐出真知”；D項“勇者無畏”。故選B。CWithhumansencroaching(侵入)moreandmoreonwildlifehabitats，animalsarefindingthatthebestwaytosurviveisn’ttopackupandmove—it’stoadapttothenightlife.Avarietyofpreviouslydaytimeanimalssuchasfoxes，deerandboarshavebecomeactiveatnighttoavoidhumanactivityoutoffear.Butthisnight-timeswitchcomeswithitsownrisks.Researcherslookedathow62speciesofanimalsonsixcontinentschangedtheirbehaviorinresponsetohumanactivitiessuchashunting，farming，anddevelopment.Thestudiesemployedvarioustechnologiestofollowtheanimals，fromGPStrackerstomotion-activatedcameras.Oncenightfalls，theanimalssurveyedbecamefarmoreactivethantheywerebeforehumansarrived，huntingandlookingforfoodinthedark.Forexample，animalsthatusedtosplittheiractivityevenly(平均地)betweendayandnighttypicallyincreasedtheirnight-timeactivityto68%.Theteamalsofoundtheanimalsrespondedsimilarlytothesehumanencroachments，regardlessofwhetherhumanactivitydirectlyaffectedthem.So，adeermightbecomemoreactiveatnightsimplybecauseitseeshumanshikingnearby，notbecauseit’
