A
Terrible weather events are harming the planet, and experts warn of even greater results to come. The sea ice loss and the Arctic melting (融化) ice caused by climate change have increased much in the last ten years. So they have pushed down the number of polar bears and seals while polar bears depend on sea ice for hunting seals.
According to the data from the WMO, temperatures on the Antarctica (南极洲) just hit 18.3℃, which is higher than the record of 17.5℃ in March, 2015. Moreover, temperatures in this area have increased by 3℃ over the last 50 years. Although such temperatures might be considered pleasant for a picnic or a hiking trip, this is the Antarctica we are talking about. It is home to the most inhospitable environment on the planet because it is supposed to be an extremely cold place. In fact, the average temperature of the continent’s central area is -57℃.
Besides, many places are experiencing the extreme weather this summer. Australia is undergoing its worst drought (干旱) since the 1930s, leaving bush fire burning so long and causing many deaths. Meanwhile in Europe, crops in the northwest are suffering the driest weather in the past 80 years. Recently West Texas in America has also gone through its worst drought in more than 70 years, while floods have hit Eastern and Southern China.
“Climate change is bad for us human beings, which causes direct health problems. I’m afraid there will be more common events like the one that 30,000 to 50,000 persons died in Europe in 2003 due to the heat wave there,” Professor Schwartz said. “It will also cause more air pollution, diseases and lack of clean water and so on.”
21.What doesn’t bring down the number of polar bears according to this passage?
A.Hunting. B.Climate change. C.The sea ice loss. D.The Arctic melting ice.
22.What can you get out of this passage?
A.The Antarctica is pleasant for a hiking trip.
B.Extreme weather led to wildfires burning in Europe.
C.Climate change will cause air pollution and diseases.
D.The temperatures on the Antarctica hit the highest in March, 2015.
23.What does the underlined word “inhospitable” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Comfortable to live. B.Friendly to live.
C.Healthy to live. D.Unfit to live.
24.Which place didn’t experience drought this year according to the passage?
A.Europe. B.Australia. C.America. D.China.
25.What is the main idea of this passage?
A.The whole planet is drier and drier.

In the other, there was a bowl with nothing in it. When the chickens knew there was something to eat behind the door, their calls were fast and high. When there wasn’t anything to eat behind the door, they made long and low calls.

1. The captain was the last ________ the sinking ship.
A.having left B.left C.to leave D.leaving

A.stealing B.stolen C.to steal D.stole
【答案】A
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:有人看到他在车站偷行李箱。该句强调他正在偷姓李箱被发现,应用现在分词作宾语补足语,短语“see sb. doing sth. (看见某人正在做某事)”,“sb.”在此句中是“he”,作了主语,谓语动作“see”需变为被动语态“sb. be seen doing sth. (某人被看见正在做某事)”。故选A。

11.句意:世界北部的台风都有女孩的名字。

12.句意:有时它们的名字很美。
sometime在某一时候;sometimes有时;some time一段时间;some times几次。分析句子结构,此句不缺任何成分,故此空填副词作状语,根据“they have very beautiful names”可知,有时它们的名字很美,故选B。
13.句意:这是十年来袭击香港的最严重的台风。
bad差的,形容词原级;worse更差的,形容词比较级;worst最差的,形容词最高级;best最好的,形容词最高级。定冠词the后接最高级,排除A和B选项。根据下文的描述可知,这是香港近十年来遭遇的最严重的台风,故选C。

18.句意:没有飞机能够起飞或降落。
all所有的;no不;few没有多少;none没有任何东西。根据“Kai Tak Airport closed”可知,在如此糟糕的天气下,没有飞机可以降落,none常与of一起搭配,后接复数名词,而空格后无of,所以排除D选项,故选B。
19.句意:在这样坏的天气里很难睡觉。
so如此;so a如此一个;such如此;such a如此一个。so修饰形容词或副词,such修饰名词。中心词“weather”是不可数名词,故选C。

A
Terrible weather events are harming the planet, and experts warn of even greater results to come. The sea ice loss and the Arctic melting (融化) ice caused by climate change have increased much in the last ten years. So they have pushed down the number of polar bears and seals while polar bears depend on sea ice for hunting seals.
According to the data from the WMO, temperatures on the Antarctica (南极洲) just hit 18.3℃, which is higher than the record of 17.5℃ in March, 2015. Moreover, temperatures in this area have increased by 3℃ over the last 50 years. Although such temperatures might be considered pleasant for a picnic or a hiking trip, this is the Antarctica we are talking about. It is home to the most inhospitable environment on the planet because it is supposed to be an extremely cold place. In fact, the average temperature of the continent’s central area is -57℃.
Besides, many places are experiencing the extreme weather this summer. Australia is undergoing its worst drought (干旱) since the 1930s, leaving bush fire burning so long and causing many deaths. Meanwhile in Europe, crops in the northwest are suffering the driest weather in the past 80 years. Recently West Texas in America has also gone through its worst drought in more than 70 years, while floods have hit Eastern and Southern China.
“Climate change is bad for us human beings, which causes direct health problems. I’m afraid there will be more common events like the one that 30,000 to 50,000 persons died in Europe in 2003 due to the heat wave there,” Professor Schwartz said. “It will also cause more air pollution, diseases and lack of clean water and so on.”
21.What doesn’t bring down the number of polar bears according to this passage?
A.Hunting. B.Climate change. C.The sea ice loss. D.The Arctic melting ice.
22.What can you get out of this passage?
A.The Antarctica is pleasant for a hiking trip.
B.Extreme weather led to wildfires burning in Europe.
C.Climate change will cause air pollution and diseases.
D.The temperatures on the Antarctica hit the highest in March, 2015.
23.What does the underlined word “inhospitable” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Comfortable to live. B.Friendly to live.
C.Healthy to live. D.Unfit to live.
24.Which place didn’t experience drought this year according to the passage?
A.Europe. B.Australia. C.America. D.China.
25.What is the main idea of this passage?
A.The whole planet is drier and drier.
B.The Antarctica is warmer and warmer.
C.Climate change is getting worse and worse.
D.The number of polar bears becomes smaller and smaller.
【答案】21.A 22.C 23.D 24.D 25.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了气候变化带来的极端天气事件及其对环境和人类健康的严重影响。
21.细节理解题。根据第一段中“The sea ice loss and the Arctic melting ice caused by climate change have increased much in the last ten years. So they have pushed down the number of polar bears and seals while polar bears depend on sea ice for hunting seals. (在过去十年里,气候变化导致的海冰减少和北极冰层融化现象显著加剧。因此,北极熊和海豹的数量减少了,而北极熊依赖海冰捕猎海豹。)”可知,造成北极熊数量减少的原因是气候变化、海冰消失和北极冰川融化,而没有提到狩猎。故选A。
22.细节理解题。根据第四段““Climate change is bad for us human beings, which causes direct health problems. I’m afraid there will be more common events like the one that 30,000 to 50,000 persons died in Europe in 2003 due to the heat wave there,” Professor Schwartz said. “It will also cause more air pollution, diseases and lack of clean water and so on.” (施瓦茨教授说:“气候变化对我们人类有害,它会直接导致健康问题。恐怕会有更多类似2003年欧洲因热浪导致3万至5万人死亡的常见事件发生。它还会导致更多的空气污染、疾病和清洁水短缺等问题。”)”可知,气候变化将导致空气污染和疾病。故选C。
23.词句猜测题。根据第二段“In fact, the average temperature of the continent’s central area is -57℃. (事实上,该大陆中心地区的平均气温为零下57摄氏度。)”可知,该大陆中心地区的平均气温为零下57摄氏度,非常寒冷,是不适合居住的。由此可知,inhospitable意为“不适合居住的”。故选D。
24. 细节理解题。根据第三段“Recently West Texas in America has also gone through its worst drought in more than 70 years, while floods have hit Eastern and Southern China. (最近美国西得克萨斯经历了70多年来最严重的干旱,而洪水袭击了中国东部和南部地区。)”可知,中国今年遭遇的是洪水而不是干旱。故选D。
25.主旨大意题。通读全文以及第一段“Terrible weather events are harming the planet, and experts warn of even greater results to come. The sea ice loss and the Arctic melting ice caused by climate change have increased much in the last ten years. So they have pushed down the number of polar bears and seals while polar bears depend on sea ice for hunting seals. (可怕的天气事件正在危害地球,专家警告说未来可能会出现更严重的后果。由于气候变化导致的海冰减少和北极冰川融化在过去十年中大大加剧。因此,北极熊和海豹的数量下降了,而北极熊是依靠海冰来捕猎海豹的。)”可知,文章主要介绍了气候变化导致的各种极端天气事件及其对人类和地球的影响。故选C。

26.根据第一段“Scientists say humans can tell if chickens are happy or sad by listening to their calls. (科学家说,人类可以通过听鸡的叫声来判断它们是否快乐或悲伤。)”、第二段“They made recordings by training a group of chickens to recognize different situations. (他们通过训练一群鸡识别不同的情况来录音。)”以及“To find out how well humans understand chickens, scientists at the University of Queensland in Australia did a study. (为了弄清楚人类对鸡的了解程度,澳大利亚昆士兰大学的科学家们做了一项研究。)”可知,科学家研究人类对鸡叫的理解和识别,所以此处应填名词understanding或recognition,标题中的实词要大写。故填Understanding/Recognition。
27.根据第二段“They made recordings by training a group of chickens to recognize different situations. (他们通过训练一群鸡识别不同的情况来录音。)”可知,科学家训练了鸡来识别不同的情况,动作发生在过去,所以此处用一般过去时,所以此处应用trained。故填trained。
28.根据第二段“When there wasn’t anything to eat behind the door, they made long and low calls. (当门后没有东西吃的时候,它们会发出又长又低的叫声。)”可知,饥饿时会发出又长又低的叫声。go hungry:饥饿。故填hungry。
29.根据第三段“The result showed that 69% of the volunteers gave correct answers about if the chickens were feeling happy or sad. (结果显示,69%的志愿者能正确回答出鸡是快乐还是悲伤。)”可知,69%的志愿者能正确地判断鸡的情绪,所以此处应填correctly,表示“正确地”修饰动词tell。故填correctly。
