Exercise 1 (外刊原味22) 体裁:说明文 主题语境:自然灾害 难度:★★★☆☆
Not a lot of people know about one of California’s worst disasters in the last few decades, one that was deadlier than the 1994 Northridge earthquake or the 2018 Camp fire. That’s when 1 severe heat wave smothered (使窒息) California in July 2006, killing an estimated 650 people. But it may be tough 2 (recall) because unlike hurricanes, wildfires or earthquakes, heat waves don’t 3 (typical) have names. They are already the deadliest, and they’re getting worse because of climate change. Yet they remain 4 (visible) killers that few people take seriously until 5 is too late.
But what if the most life-threatening heat waves did have names? Would people pay 6 (much) attention to the risks of a heat wave Zoe or Cleon? Could lives 7 (save)? There is initial evidence that it could, as seen in some areas in Europe that have begun categorizing and naming the most severe heat waves based on their threat 8 people’s lives and health. This month, Greece and Cyprus adopted the name “Cleon” for one of the region’s worst and longest heat waves 9 record.
But the World Meteorological Organization opposes 10 (name) heat waves on the grounds that it would confuse and distract the public. (Los Angeles Times)
答案与解析
因为没有名字,高温其实是最致命的隐形杀手,如果给高温取名,是否可行呢?
1.a 考查冠词。此处泛指一场高温,应用不定冠词, severe是辅音音素开始的单词, 故用不定冠词a。
2.to recall 考查固定句式。 此处是“it+be+adj.+to do”句式,填不定式to recall。
3.typically 考查词形转换。空处作状语,修饰谓语have, 应用副词,填typically。
4.invisible 考查词形转换。上文提到高温没有名字,因此是隐形杀手,所以人们不认真对待, 故填visible的反义词invisible。
5.it 考查代词。此处表“为时已晚;已失时机”, 应用it is too late, 故填it。
6.more 考查比较级。此处指高温如果有了名字,人们是否会更注意其危险?暗含比较之意, 故填much的比较级more。
7.be saved 考查动词的语态。 在这个简单句中lives与save是被动关系, 故用被动语态, 且句中有情态动词could, 故填be saved。
8.to 考查介词。此处指 “对……的威胁”, 故填介词to。
9.on 考查介词短语。此处是固定短语on record “记录在案的;有记录以来”。
10.naming 考查非谓语动词。oppose后接动名词作宾语, oppose doing sth. “反对做某事”。
