The time for action is now, at least when it comes to climate change. If we don’t take measures that limit global warming, it may be impossible to stop its progress, according to a study published in 2018.
The study claims that in 2035, we will cross a point of no return — after which it will be extremely unlikely that we can stop Earth’s temperature from rising by 2 degrees Celsius (2℃) and kicking off dangerous global disasters.
The 2℃ mark is very important for Earth’s well-being. Once the planet warms an additional 2℃, scientists predict a range of disastrous effects, from widespread flooding in coastal areas to burning heat waves and extreme storms.
One important area that could slow the movement toward a point of no return in 2035 is the changing from fossil fuels (矿物燃料) to renewable energy sources. But even this will require significant progress. Scientists have figured that the share of renewables worldwide must grow by at least 2 percent each year in order to slow the process toward climate change. Two percent a year may not sound like much, but in the 20 years leading up to 2017, the percentage of energy from renewables grew by a poor total of 3.6 percent.
There is hope, though. If the use of renewable energy were to go beyond the scientists’ model, say by 5 percent per each year, the climate change deadline (最后期限) could move back by at least a decade, the researchers note. Also, developing technology to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere could help slow climate change. These gases change Earth’s atmosphere and allow it to capture more heat from the sun and cause temperatures to rise.
“We hope that ‘having a deadline’ may stimulate the sense of urgency to act for policy makers,” Henk Dijkstra, one of the study authors, said. “Very little time is left.”
1.What might happen once the Earth warms an additional 2℃?
A.The climate system will be rebuilt.
B.Global warming is uncontrollable.
C.Natural disasters become unavoidable.
D.Timely action will no longer be necessary.
2.What does the underlined “this” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A.The advances of scientific research.
B.The shift from fossil fuels to renewables.
C.The process of slowing down climate change.
D.The increase of public environmental awareness.
3.What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A.The limitation of scientists’ model.
B.Possible solutions to slowing climate change.
C.The value of the ‘point of no return’ concept.
D.Serious effects of greenhouse gases on Earth.
4.Why do the researchers set a deadline?
A.To stress the need of global cooperation.
B.To call on people to use renewable energy.
C.To urge policy makers to take immediate action.
D.To show their determination to stop global warming.

The Grey’s Anatomy doctors are navigating the patients that have kept them on our screens for some 400 episodes of the show. But in this episode, for the first time, the 21 to the drama is the very real issue of climate change. It’s a relatively rare example of the many kinds of climate-related storylines that are typically missing from 22 TV and film worlds. Social scientists argue that climate is a topic that belongs in many kinds of on-screen stories, not just the 23 climate-disaster thriller.
But can seeing the realities of climate change affecting characters on the screen help us relate 24 to the unfolding climate crisis – to cope better, or even change our behavior?
Non-profit storytelling consultancy Good Energy believes it can. It is among a small but growing number of organizations 25 far more TV and film scripts to 26 climate-related storylines. In April 2022, it released its Good Energy Playbook, a set of guidelines for embedding climate change into any on-screen story. It joins other initiatives in drawing attention to the need for film and TV to 27 the numerous ways climate change leaves its mark on our everyday lives.
The Good Energy Playbook’s suggestions are appropriately wide-ranging: characters with climate anxiety and those fighting against injustice; utopian (乌托邦的) narratives that explore climate solutions; storylines that quietly 28 climate references into their characters’ worlds.
The playbook was created by Good Energy founder Anna Jane Joyner, “It started as a personal 29 , where I just got on the phone with as many screenwriters as I could,” she says. She quickly learned that writers wanted to talk about climate, but “didn’t really have the support and toolset to be able to do it”.
Many research studies looked at the impact introducing climate stories had on viewers, and found it prompted greater concern about climate change. It also 30 people’s understanding of it and made them more likely to take action to reduce their emissions. 31 , science tells us that stories have a power that hard facts often don’t. Research has long established that the human brain finds it easier to understand and remember information delivered as a 32 , and has even found that stories can influence behavior.
Climate stories, then, seem like a pretty good idea. But these sorts of narratives have been few and far between. Julie Doyle, professor of media at the University of Brighton in the UK, says climate change has 33 for years to get into any form of fictional film or TV representation. “There’s been a silence around it,” she says.
It’s time to break the climate silence, says Doyle. “Mainstream media has tended to follow rather than lead, and it would be great if mainstream media could lead this.” Day-to-day mentions of climate change in media are especially important because, while blockbuster climate films can have a positive impact on awareness and action, the effect is sadly 34 . People can feel inspired to take action in the moment, but the feeling 35 in a matter of weeks.

According to a recent study led by Miquelle, 46 Amur tigers were identified in four forested landscapes in China. “Persistent efforts 36 (protect) tigers have paid off,” Miquelle said. The reason for the tigers’ sudden 37 (appear) in northeast China is due, in a large part, to a Chinese national policy called the Natural Forest Protection Project (NFPP). “By stopping the harvesting of trees in many parts of China, they essentially made whole villages whose economy, in the past, 38 (base) on timber harvest economic wastelands,” Miquelle said. 39 the timber industry shutting down, the forests were able to recover, and that’s “a big reason 40 tigers are expanding.”
The NFPP has shifted China toward environmental stewardship and wildlife protection. In 2016, China established the Northeast Tiger Leopard National Park, which covers nearly 15,000 square kilometers, 41 (represent) the largest tiger shelter in the world. “China is working hard to turn this national park into 42 model for conservation,” Miquelle said.
Amur tigers may be well protected in northeastern China now, 43 they will face a number of threats 44 (link) to climate change. With a more changeable or 45 (dry) climate, forest fires pose a serious threat to tiger habitat.

【答案】1.C 2.B 3.B 4.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要描述了全球变暖的发展趋势和即将产生的危害,并敦促决策者要立即采取行动加以应对。
1.细节理解题。根据第三段“Once the planet warms an additional 2℃, scientists predict a range of disastrous effects, from widespread flooding in coastal areas to burning heat waves and extreme storms.”(科学家们预测,一旦地球温度再升高2摄氏度,就会产生一系列灾难性的影响,从沿海地区的大范围洪水到燃烧的热浪和极端风暴。)可知,一旦地球温度再升高2℃,就很可能无法避免地发生自然灾害。故选C。
2.词义猜测题。根据第四段“One important area that could slow the movement toward a point of no return in 2035 is the changing from fossil fuels(矿物燃料) to renewable energy sources.”(一个可能会减缓2035年走向不可逆转的临界点的重要领域,是从化石燃料到可再生能源的转变。)和划线词所在句“But even this will require significant progress.”(但甚至这样也需要取得重大进展。)可知,“this”指的是上句所提到的“the changing from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources(从化石燃料到可再生能源的转变)”,即the shift from fossil fuels to renewables(从化石燃料到可再生能源的转变)。故选B。
3.主旨大意题。根据第五段“If the use of renewable energy were to go beyond the scientists’ model, say by 5 percent per each year, the climate change deadline (最后期限) could move back by at least a decade, the researchers note. Also, developing technology to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere could help slow climate change.”(研究人员指出,如果可再生能源的使用超过科学家的范例,比如每年增加5%,那么气候变化的最后期限可能会推迟至少十年。此外,开发从大气中去除温室气体的技术也有助于减缓气候变化。)可知,该段主要讲述了可能减缓气候变化的解决方案。故选B。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段研究者Henk Dijkstra的话“We hope that ‘having a deadline’ may stimulate the sense of urgency to act for policy makers,”(我们希望“设定最后期限”可能会激发决策者采取行动的紧迫感)可知,研究者们设定最后期限是为了敦促决策者立即采取行动。故选C。

But in this episode, for the first time, the 21 to the drama is the very real issue of climate change. It’s a relatively rare example of the many kinds of climate-related storylines that are typically missing from 22 TV and film worlds. Social scientists argue that climate is a topic that belongs in many kinds of on-screen stories, not just the 23 climate-disaster thriller.
But can seeing the realities of climate change affecting characters on the screen help us relate 24 to the unfolding climate crisis – to cope better, or even change our behavior?
Non-profit storytelling consultancy Good Energy believes it can. It is among a small but growing number of organizations 25 far more TV and film scripts to 26 climate-related storylines. In April 2022, it released its Good Energy Playbook, a set of guidelines for embedding climate change into any on-screen story. It joins other initiatives in drawing attention to the need for film and TV to 27 the numerous ways climate change leaves its mark on our everyday lives.
The Good Energy Playbook’s suggestions are appropriately wide-ranging: characters with climate anxiety and those fighting against injustice; utopian (乌托邦的) narratives that explore climate solutions; storylines that quietly 28 climate references into their characters’ worlds.
The playbook was created by Good Energy founder Anna Jane Joyner, “It started as a personal 29 , where I just got on the phone with as many screenwriters as I could,” she says. She quickly learned that writers wanted to talk about climate, but “didn’t really have the support and toolset to be able to do it”.
Many research studies looked at the impact introducing climate stories had on viewers, and found it prompted greater concern about climate change. It also 30 people’s understanding of it and made them more likely to take action to reduce their emissions. 31 , science tells us that stories have a power that hard facts often don’t. Research has long established that the human brain finds it easier to understand and remember information delivered as a 32 , and has even found that stories can influence behavior.
Climate stories, then, seem like a pretty good idea. But these sorts of narratives have been few and far between. Julie Doyle, professor of media at the University of Brighton in the UK, says climate change has 33 for years to get into any form of fictional film or TV representation. “There’s been a silence around it,” she says.
It’s time to break the climate silence, says Doyle. “Mainstream media has tended to follow rather than lead, and it would be great if mainstream media could lead this.” Day-to-day mentions of climate change in media are especially important because, while blockbuster climate films can have a positive impact on awareness and action, the effect is sadly 34 . People can feel inspired to take action in the moment, but the feeling 35 in a matter of weeks.

语篇填空
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
According to a recent study led by Miquelle, 46 Amur tigers were identified in four forested landscapes in China. “Persistent efforts 36 (protect) tigers have paid off,” Miquelle said. The reason for the tigers’ sudden 37 (appear) in northeast China is due, in a large part, to a Chinese national policy called the Natural Forest Protection Project (NFPP). “By stopping the harvesting of trees in many parts of China, they essentially made whole villages whose economy, in the past, 38 (base) on timber harvest economic wastelands,” Miquelle said. 39 the timber industry shutting down, the forests were able to recover, and that’s “a big reason 40 tigers are expanding.”
The NFPP has shifted China toward environmental stewardship and wildlife protection. In 2016, China established the Northeast Tiger Leopard National Park, which covers nearly 15,000 square kilometers, 41 (represent) the largest tiger shelter in the world. “China is working hard to turn this national park into 42 model for conservation,” Miquelle said.
Amur tigers may be well protected in northeastern China now, 43 they will face a number of threats 44 (link) to climate change. With a more changeable or 45 (dry) climate, forest fires pose a serious threat to tiger habitat.
【答案】
36.to protect 37.appearance 38.was based 39.With 40.why 41.representing 42.a 43.but 44.linked 45.drier
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了一项关于中国森林中东北虎数量的研究,并涉及了相关的环境保护政策和气候变化对东北虎栖息地的影响。
36.考查非谓语动词。句意:“保护老虎的不懈努力得到了回报,” Miquelle说。句子含有谓语动词 have paid off,空格处填入非谓语动词担当名词“efforts”的后置定语,用动词不定式形式。故填to protect。
37.考查名词。句意:东北虎突然出现在中国东北部,在很大程度上是因为中国的一项国家政策——天然林保护工程(NFPP)。空处为名词形式,意为“出现”作介词for的宾语。故填appearance。
38.考查时态和语态。句意:Miquelle说:“在中国许多地区,通过停止采伐树木,他们基本上把过去以木材采伐为基础的整个村庄变成了经济荒地。”这里为从句的谓语动词,根据“in the past”可知,从句时态为一般过去时;主语为“economy”,单数,和动词“base”之间为被动关系,所以用被动语态。故填was based。
39.考查介词。句意:随着木材行业的关闭,森林得以恢复,这是“老虎数量增加的一个重要原因”。空处为介词,意为“随着”;出现在句首,首字母大写。故填With。
40.考查定语从句。句意:随着木材行业的关闭,森林得以恢复,这是“老虎数量增加的一个重要原因”。这里为定语从句的关系词,先行词为“reason”,在定语从句中担当原因状语,用关系副词why引导。故填why。
41.考查非谓语动词。句意:2016年,中国建立了东北虎豹国家公园,该公园占地面积近1.5万平方公里,是世界上最大的老虎保护区。句子谓语动词是established,空格处填入非谓语担当状语,“the Northeast Tiger Leopard National Park”和动词“represent”之间为主动关系,用现在分词形式。故填representing。
42.考查冠词。句意:“中国正在努力将这个国家公园打造成一个保护模式的典范”,Miquelle说。修饰可数名词单数model,表示泛指,用不定冠词。故填a。
43.考查连词。句意:东北虎目前在中国东北地区可能得到了很好的保护,但它们将面临与气候变化有关的一系列威胁。空前“Amur tigers may be well protected in northeastern China now”和空后“they will face a number of threats linked to climate change.”之间存在转折关系,用连词but连接。故填but。
44.考查非谓语动词。句意:东北虎目前在中国东北地区可能得到了很好的保护,但它们将面临与气候变化有关的一系列威胁。非谓语动词担当后置定语,被修饰词“threats”和动词“link”之间为被动关系,用过去分词形式。故填linked。
45.考查比较级。句意:随着气候更加干燥多变,森林火灾对老虎的栖息地构成了严重威胁。根据空前的“a more changeable”可推测,空处为形容词比较级形式。故填drier。
