[分析]　本句是一个主从复合句。There is strong and comprehensive evidence是主句，that引导的是同位语从句，解释说明evidence的具体内容；not only...but also...连接两个并列的现在分词短语causing serious damage和costing human lives作结果状语。 [翻译]　有充分且全面的证据表明，气温上升导致世界范围内极端天气和自然灾害的增加，不仅造成了严重破坏，还要以人的性命为代价。 [教材3]　It is our responsibility to seize every opportunity to educate everyone about global warming, along with its causes and impacts, because this is the most serious issue affecting all of us on this planet. [分析]　本句是一个主从复合句。It为形式主语，to seize...是真正的主语；because引导原因状语从句，其中affecting all of us on this planet为现在分词短语作后置定语，修饰issue。 [翻译]　我们有责任抓住每一个机会，让每个人了解全球变暖及其原因和影响，因为这是影响地球上所有人的最严重的问题。 Ⅲ.学表达技巧 外貌描写 [教材1]　...all that remained of the polar bear was “skin and bones ”． [分析]　句中描绘出了北极熊死时的状态，被饿成皮包骨的模样。作者通过这个案例表明了气温上升对地球生态的影响。skin and bone前可接only、all、nothing but等，起强调作用。 [仿写]　他们虽然都瘦骨嶙峋，但是饥饿使他们如野兽一般凶猛。 They were all skin and bone，but hunger made them fight like wild beasts. 频度副词 [教材2]　In fact, news reports are frequently broadcast about extreme rainstorms and heatwaves causing deaths and economic losses. [分析]　句中frequently“频繁地；经常”是频度副词，表示动作发生的频率。写出了新闻报道之频繁，气候问题刻不容缓。 [仿写]　我的班主任全身心投入教学工作，因此他经常废寝忘食。 Absorbing himself in teaching，my headteacher frequently forgets about eating and sleeping． 高频词汇练全 starve vi.& vt.(使)挨饿；饿死 (1)starve to death 饿死 starve for 渴望…… starve to do sth 渴望做某事 (2)starvation n．饥饿，挨饿，饿死 die of/from starvation 饿死 suffer from starvation 遭受饥饿 【练透】　单句语法填空/完成句子 ①The students coming from foreign countries are starving for the friendship from those who come from the city. ②Millions of people will face starvation (starve) next year as a result of the drought. ③If the animals can't find enough food, they'll starve to death or have to leave the place. ④我渴望学好英语，因为掌握英语意味着我们可以通过一个新窗口看世界。(话题写作之语言学习) I am starving to study English well，because mastering English means we can see the world through a new window. 【点拨】　表示“渴望(得到)……”的其他短语：be thirsty/hungry/dying/eager/anxious for, long for等。 refer to 涉及，与……相关；提到，谈及，说起；查阅，参考 (1)refer to...as... 称……为…… refer to a/the dictionary 查词典 refer...to... 把……提交给……(以求获得帮助等) (2)reference n．参考；涉及；提及 have reference to 和……有关系 in/with reference to 与……有关 a reference book 参考书；工具书 【练透】　单句语法填空/完成句子 ①When I said that somebody was really naughty, I did not refer to you. ②I am writing with reference (refer) to your job application. ③当你不知道一个单词的含义时，查阅一下词典。(应用文写作之建议信) Refer to the dictionary when you don't know the meaning of a word. result in 引起；导致；造成 (1)result from 产生于……；由……引起 (2)as a result 所以；因此 as a result of 作为……的结果；由于；因为 without result 无效地；毫无结果地；徒然 【练透】　单句语法填空/一句多译 ①He broke down completely as a result of too much work. ②The terrible accident resulted from his careless driving. ③据说缺乏信心导致他面试失败。 →It was said that lack of confidence resulted in his failure in the interview. →It was said that his failure in the interview resulted from lack of confidence. ④由于购物太久，珍妮差点儿误了航班。 →Jenny nearly missed the fight as a result of shopping for too long. →Jenny went shopping for too long.As a result, she nearly missed the flight. 【点拨】　result in 的近义词(组)有：cause，bring about, lead to, contribute to, account for等。 restrict vt.限制；限定；束缚 (1)restrict...to... 把……限制在…… (2)restriction n．限制规定；限制法规；约束 without restriction 没有限制 (3)restrictive adj.限制性的；约束的 【练透】　单句语法填空/完成句子 ①The number of club members is restricted (restrict) to ten, so it is difficult to be admitted to the club. ②The newly­opened swimming club is open to families in the neighbourhood without restriction (restrict)． ③不要局限于结交有共同兴趣的朋友——结交不同群体的朋友，这将有助于开阔你的视野。(话题写作之友谊) Don't restrict yourself to making friends with ones sharing similar interests—make friends with different groups of people, and it will help broaden your horizons. seize vt.抓住；夺取；控制 seize...from... 从……夺走…… be seized with/by 被(某种情绪)侵袭/突然控制 seize sb by the arm(＝seize sb's arm) 抓住某人的胳膊 【练透】　单句语法填空/完成句子 ①The man seized me by the arm and begged me to bring his son back to life. ②When she saw his face, she was seized with/by terror. ③He seized the book from her hand and left the room angrily. ④我抓住一切机会与外国人交流，这加深了我对西方国家的了解。(应用文写作之活动介绍) I seize every opportunity to communicate with foreigners, which advances my understanding of western countries. 中频词汇练会 release vt.& n．排放；释放；发布 release...from... 将……从……释放/解救出来 release sth to the press 向新闻界发布某事 【练透】　单句语法填空 ①Firefighters took two hours to release the driver from the ruins. ②When is the best moment to release the date of the election to the newspapers?

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每题2.5分，共20分) A On Earth Day, people around the world work to help our planet.But April 22 isn't the only day this happens. Many people, including kids, protect the Earth all year long.Read about some inspiring stories, and then decide how you will make a difference. Justin Sather, 10, from Los Angeles, California When he was 5, Justin learned that his favorite animal's habitat was in danger.So he took action.He started a group called For the Love of Frogs and sold toy frogs to raise money.Justin said that frogs are an“indicator species”，which means that when their habitat is threatened, they show signs of illness earlier than other animals.“Frogs are telling us our planet really needs your help，”Justin added. Aadya Joshi, 16, from Mumbai, India When Aadya was 13, she changed a junk lot in her neighborhood into a garden by using plants native to the area because native species attract native insects and animals.“The way to fix the habitat isn't just to plant any tree，”she said.“It's to replace what was torn down from that spot.” Now Aadya is leading the Right Green, an organization she founded to educate people about growing native plants and maintaining healthy ecosystems. Xavier Baquero­Iglesias, 11, from Naples, Florida While playing with friends on Astroturf(artificial grass), Xavier noticed it was super hot, much hotter than real grass.Xavier used his knowledge of science to figure out why.Then he invented SoleX Turf which uses the heat from Astroturf to make electricity.Xavier said his invention created electricity in a way that was not harmful to the environment, “I wanted to find a way to reduce the effects of climate change and the main way is to find renewable energy sources.” [语篇解读]本文是应用文。文章主要讲述几名青少年为保护环境所做的努力。 1．What do the underlined words “indicator species” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Frogs living in the damaged habitat. B．Animals like frogs facing extinction. C．Animals suffering from deadly illness. D．Creatures monitoring environmental changes. D　[词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的定语从句“which means that when their habitat is threatened, they show signs of illness earlier than other animals”可知，“指示物种”指的是能够通过自身状况去反映环境变化的物种，所以D项正确。] 2．What is the proper way to repair the ecosystems according to Aadya? A．Planting more trees. B．Growing native plants. C．Changing junk lots into gardens. D．Preventing foreign insects and animals. B　[细节理解题。根据Aadya Joshi, 16, from Mumbai, India部分的“...to educate people about growing native plants and maintaining healthy ecosystems”可知，Aadya认为修复生态系统的适当方式是种植当地的植物。] 3．What is the value of Xavier's invention? A．It can make Astroturf cool. B．It helps reduce electricity waste. C．It can bring down the price of electricity. D．It makes electricity in a pollution­free way. D　[细节理解题。根据Xavier Baquero­Iglesias, 11, from Naples, Florida部分的“Xavier said his invention created electricity in a way that was not harmful to the environment”可知，Xavier的发明的价值在于它能够以无污染的方式发电。] 4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．Activities on Earth Day B．Kid Heroes for the Planet C．Organizations for the Ecosystem D．Benefits of Protecting the Earth B　[标题归纳题。通读全文内容可知，文章主要讲述几名青少年为保护环境所做的努力，所以B项“Kid Heroes for the Planet(保护地球的儿童英雄)”概括了文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。] B NOT that long ago, the world wondered whether clean energy could survive without government support. Now the question is how far it can spread.The number of electric vehicles, which was about 1 million in 2015, last year reached 2 million.In the generation of electricity, too, the trend is with the Greens.In the first half of this year, wind, solar and water power generated a record 35% of Germany's power. Greater success is breeding greater ambition.California is proposing to reach 60% renewable energy by 2030.176 countries have clean­energy goals.Hawaii, America's most oil­dependent state, has promised to be 100% renewable by the middle of the century.So have 48 poor countries vulnerable to climate change.This week the number of multinationals making a commitment to running their operations on 100% renewable energy rose to 100. But not every target is helpful.To see why, consider that goal of 100% renewable energy.It makes solving climate change seem easy.In fact, though wind and solar power can generate the whole country's electricity some day, renewables still account for less than 8% of the world's total power output.Moreover, cleaning up electricity is only part of the battle.Even though gas­fired heating and cooking can be at least a big source of greenhouse gas emissions, renewable heating gets little attention.Transport policy is unpredictable, too.Carmakers may hit their goal of annual sales of 10 million electric vehicles in a decade, but battery­powered road transport, shipping and aviation are dreams.A much­quoted claim that America could rely on wind, solar and water power alone for its electricity has recently been bitterly criticized by a group of respected academics. Most importantly, the target of 100% renewables confuses means with ends.The priority for the planet is to stop net emissions (净排放物) of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide. Putting too much emphasis on wind and solar energy and other renewables may block off better carbon­reduction paths.After decades of investment, it is wrong to leave nuclear power off the table.Carbon emissions in Germany actually rose because it chose to phase out nuclear power gradually and thus burned more coal.New technologies, such as“direct air capture”systems designed to separate carbon dioxide from the air, may in time prove vital.Likewise, greater energy efficiency could reduce emissions by even more than using renewables would. [语篇解读]本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了人类的主要目标是遏制碳排放，而不是实现百分百再生能源。再生能源对环保和经济产生了诸多的影响。 5．What can be inferred from the passage? A．The problem of climate change will be solved by using 100% renewable energy. B．With new technologies, Germany successfully cut down carbon emissions. C．It is probable that ships will one day be powered by battery. D．America is not likely to completely rely on wind, solar and water power one day. D　[推理判断题。根据第三段中的“A much­quoted claim that America could rely on wind, solar and water power alone for its electricity has recently been bitterly criticized by a group of respected academics.(美国有一种说法经常被引用，即美国可以只依靠风力、太阳能和水力发电，这种说法最近遭到了一群受人尊敬的高校科研人员的严厉批评。)”可知，美国不可能完全依靠风力、太阳能和水力发电，故选D。] 6．According to the passage, carbon emissions may be reduced by ． A．promoting energy efficiency B．blocking off carbon­reduction paths C．using non­renewable heating D．abandoning electric vehicles A　[细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Likewise, greater energy efficiency could reduce emissions by even more than using renewables would.(同样，更高效的能源利用效率可以降低排放量，甚至多于通过使用可再生能源减少的排放量。)”可知提高能源效率可以减少碳排放。故选A。] 7．The underlined phrase “phase out” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ． A．ignore B．reduce C．use D．invent B　[词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的“Carbon emissions in Germany actually rose”以及“thus burned more coal”可知，德国的碳排放量实际上升了，因为它选择逐步淘汰核能，因此燃烧了更多的煤炭。此处phase out和后面的more对立，所以这里是“减少”。故选B。] 8．In which column can this passage be read? A．Fashion. B．Politics. C．Economy. D．Education. C　[推理判断题。文章主要介绍了人类的主要目标是遏制碳排放，而不是实现百分百再生能源。再生能源对环保和经济产生了诸多影响。由此判断出文章来源于经济专栏，故选C。] Ⅱ.完形填空(每题2分，共30分) During my rebellious years in middle school, I fell in with the wrong crowd and tried to distance myself from my parents.
