A
Love,success,happiness,family and freedom-how important are these values to you?Here is one interview which explores the fundamental questions in life.
Question:Could you introduce yourself first?
Answer:My name is Misbah,27 years old.I was born in a wartorn area.Right now I'm a web designer.
Q:What are your great memories?
A:My parents used to take us to hunt birds,climb trees,and play in the fields.For me it was like a holiday because we were going to have fun all day long.Those are my great memories.
Q:Does your childhood mean a lot to you?
A:Yes.As life was very hard,I used to work to help bring money in for the family.I spent my childhood working,with responsibilities beyond my age.However,it taught me to deal with problems all alone.I learnt to be independent.
Q:What changes would you like to make in your life?
A:If I could change something in my life,I'd change it so that my childhood could have taken place in another area.I would have loved to live with my family in freedom.Who cares whether we have much money,or whether we have a beautiful house?It doesn't matter as long as I can live with my family and we are safe.
Q:How do you get along with your parents?
A:My parents supported me until I came of age.I want to give back what I've got.That's our way.But I am working in another city.My only contact with my parents now is through the phone,but I hate using it.It filters(过滤)out your emotion and leaves your voice only.My deepest feelings should be passed through sight,hearing and touch.
[语篇解读] 这是一篇采访。这是对Misbah的采访,她艰苦的童年生活让她很早就学会了自立,童年时期她很喜欢大自然,如果重新选择,她希望自己生活在一个和平安全的地方。她现在与父母生活在两个城市,但他们经常联系。
1.In Misbah's childhood,________.
A.he was free from worry
B.he liked living in the countryside
C.he was fond of getting close to nature
D.he often spent holidays with his family
解析 细节理解题。由第五段“My parents used to take us to hunt birds,climb trees,and play in the fields.For me it was like a holiday because we were going to have fun all day long.Those are my great memories.”可知,我父母过去常带我们去打猎、爬树和在田野里玩耍。对我来说,这就像一个假期,因为我们将有一整天的乐趣。这些都是我的美好回忆。所以 Misbah 的童年很喜欢接近大自然。故选C。
答案 C
2.What did Misbah desire most in his childhood?
A.Peace and freedom.
B.A beautiful house.
C.A colorful life.
D.Money for his family.
解析 细节理解题。由第九段“I would have loved to live with my family in freedom.Who cares whether we have much money,or whether we have a beautiful house?It doesn't matter as long as I can live with my family and we are safe.”可知,我愿意和我的家人自由地生活在一起。谁在乎我们是否有很多钱,或者我们是否有一个漂亮的房子?只要我能和家人住在一起,我们就是安全的。所以Misbah的童年希望得到安全和自由。故选A。
答案 A
3.How would Misbah prefer to communicate with his parents?
A.By chatting on the Internet. B.By calling them sometimes.
C.By paying weekly visits. D.By writing them letters.
解析 推理判断题。由第十一段“My only contact with my parents now is through the phone,but I hate using it.It filters (过滤) out your emotion and leaves your voice only.My deepest feelings should be passed through sight,hearing and touch”可知,我现在和父母唯一的联系是通过电话,但我讨厌用它。它过滤出了你的情感,只留下你的声音。我最深的感情应该通过视觉、听觉和触觉传递。所以通过关键词“My deepest feelings should be passed through sight,hearing and touch”可以判断出,Misbah更愿意每周去看望父母来和他们沟通。故选C。
答案 C
4.If there were only one question left,what would it most probably be?
A.What was your childhood dream?
B.What is your biggest achievement?
C.What is your parents' view of you?
D.What was your hardest experience in the war?
解析 推理判断题。由第一段“Love,success,happiness,family and freedom-how important are these values to you”可知,爱、成功、幸福、家庭和自由——这些价值观对你有多重要?所以短文中对“Love,happiness,family and freedom”这些话题都已经采访过,所以判断出,接下来要问的是B选项“你最大的成就是什么”。故选B。
答案 B
B
The world's oceans make life possible on this planet.They help regulate the global climate,absorb carbon dioxide and provide food and livelihood for billions of people.
But even though they cover more than 70% of the Earth's surface,our oceans are being ruined by lots of plastics,overfishing and increasing temperatures brought about by climate change and if there is one message this year's World's Oceans Summit tries to send it's that something must be done now to protect them.
The news that we have had from our scientists is that we are marching into a very hazardous situation.It's pretty obvious what is required is not just shortterm change sometimes soon—these advocates are calling for complete change now.
But we have still got time over the next 10 years to lower our greenhouse gas emission(排放)to a level at which we will not reach that 2 degree warming stage.As you would know,once we get to 2 degrees,we lose all coral reefs in the world,for example.We're now training towards 3 degrees.
The biggest declaration to come out of the summit is the Blue Prosperity Coalition,which has the ambitious goal to ban 30% of the world's ocean fishing by 2030.We've overfished the oceans,and we have five to ten years to really reverse the trends as before or it's going to be too late.
We rely on the oceans for so many things,livelihoods,the food we eat and the air we breathe.The oceans absorb a ton of carbon and if we don't fix the oceans now,it's going to be too late.
The coalition needs a lot more support from world governments and coalition members say with smart management they can achieve their goals while keeping fishing production without causing much economic hardship.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界海洋峰会的与会者们传达了重要信息:保护海洋,刻不容缓。
5.Which of the following best explains “hazardous” underlined in Paragraph 3?
A.Dangerous. B.Brilliant.
C.Hopeless. D.Promising.
解析 词义猜测题。根据文章第三段It's pretty obvious what is required is not just shortterm change sometimes soon-these advocates are calling for complete change now.这些倡导者现在正在呼吁彻底的改变,可知,我们正步入一个非常危险的境地。从而可以猜出hazardous为“危险的”之意。故选A。
答案 A
6.What does the text suggest people do?
A.Make a plan later. B.Stop using plastics.
C.Ban fishing completely. D.Reduce the greenhouse gas emission.
解析 细节理解题。根据文章第四段But we have still got time over the next 10 years to lower our greenhouse gas emission(排放)to a level at which we will not reach that 2 degree warming stage.我们未来10年中依然有时间减少温室气体排放量,将其减少到不会导致2度变暖情况出现的程度。从而可知,文章建议人们减少温室气体排放。故选D。
答案 D
7.What can we learn from the text?
A.It's too late to protect the oceans now.
B.We will not reach 3 degree warming stage.
C.Great economic hardship will be unavoidable.
D.A joint effort is needed by the world governments.
解析 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段The coalition needs a lot more support from world governments该联盟需要来自世界各国政府的更多努力与支持。故选D。

A.To emphasize the importance of the oceans.
B.To call for complete change to protect the oceans.
C.To show the alarming pollution of the oceans.
D.To talk about the bad effects of climate change.
解析 推理判断题。根据文章第三段It's pretty obvious what is required is not just shortterm change sometimes soon—these advocates are calling for complete change now.很明显,我们所需要的不仅仅是短期的改变——有时候很快——这些拥护者现在呼吁彻底的改变,结合全文内容可推断,作者写此文的目的是为了呼吁人们彻底改变以保护海洋。故选B。
答案 B
