Can you imagine a world where more than half of our common plant species and a third of our known animals disappear from sight? That's the prediction suggested by new research on the impact of climate change.
An international team of researchers looked at the impact of rising temperatures on nearly 50,000 species of plants and animals. They came to the conclusion that these are to decline due to changes in their habitat. They looked at temperature and rainfall records for the habitats in which these species now live, and mapped the areas that would remain suitable for them under different weather conditions.
The scientists projected that if no significant efforts were made to limit greenhouse gas emissionss, by the year 2100 global temperatures would be 4C above pre-industrial levels. In this scenario, some 34% of animal species and 57% of plants would lose more than half of their current habitat ranges. The impact on species will be felt more heavily in some parts of the world such as the Amazon region.
Our society would be affected too, according to Dr. Rachel Warren, from the University of East Anglia in Britain. She says: "There'll be a knock-on effect for humans because these species are important for things like water and air purification, flood control and nutrients cycling, and eco-tourism."
In spite of the conclusions to this paper, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, it is not all doom and gloom. Dr Warren says: "Swift action to reduce CO2 and other greenhouse gases can prevent the biodiversity loss by reducing the amount of global warming to 2C rather than 4 degrees." The researcher believes that this would buy time for plants and animals to adapt to the change.
If nothing is changed and the predictions of this study are confirmed, the world might look very different in a few generations.
4. What made animals and plants decrease?
A. Temperature and rainfall. B. The transition in their living surroundings.
C. Weather condition D. The change of nature.
5. What does the underlined word "scenario" in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Assumption. B. Theory . C. Expectation . D. Truth .
6. What will happen if we take measures to reduce greenhouse gases immediately?
A. The temperature will not increase. B. The biodiversity loss can be totally prevented.
C. Animals and plants have more time to fit. D. Current habitat will not be affected.
7. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The impact of climate change. B. Massive species may die from climate change.
C. Plant and animals are in danger. D. Global warming are threatening us.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项有关气候变化的新研究，研究人员预测到，如果不迅速采取行动减少温室气体的排放，大量物种可能死于气候变化。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“An international team of researchers looked at the impact of rising temperatures on nearly 50,000 species of plants and animals. They came to the conclusion that these are to decline due to changes in their habitat.（一个国际研究小组研究了气温上升对近5万种动植物的影响。他们得出的结论是，由于栖息地的变化，它们的数量将会减少。）”可知，造成动植物减少的原因是生活环境的转变。故选B项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。上文“The scientists projected that if no significant efforts were made to limit greenhouse gas emissions, by the year 2100 global temperatures would be 4C above pre-industrial levels.（科学家们预测，如果不采取重大措施限制温室气体排放，到2100年，全球气温将比工业化前的水平高出4摄氏度。）”提出科学家们的猜想。结合划线词所在句“In this scenario, some 34% of animal species and 57% of plants would lose more than half of their current habitat ranges.（在这种scenario下，约34%的动物物种和57%的植物将失去其现有栖息地的一半以上。）”可知，this scenario指的就是前文科学家的猜想，提出在这种设想的情况下会产生的可能性。所以scenario意为“设想”。A. Assumption.猜想；B. Theory.理论；C. Expectation.期望；D. Truth.真相。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Dr Warren says: "Swift action to reduce CO2 and other greenhouse gases can prevent the biodiversity loss by reducing the amount of global warming to 2C rather than 4 degrees." The researcher believes that this would buy time for plants and animals to adapt to the change.（沃伦博士说：“迅速采取行动减少二氧化碳和其他温室气体，可以通过将全球变暖幅度降低到2摄氏度而不是4摄氏度来防止生物多样性的丧失。”研究人员认为，这将为植物和动物争取时间来适应变化。）”可知，如果我们立即采取措施减少温室气体，动物和植物将有更多的时间来适应环境的变化。故选C项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Can you imagine a world where more than half of our common plant species and a third of our known animals disappear from sight? That's the prediction suggested by new research on the impact of climate change.（你能想象一个超过一半的常见植物物种和三分之一的已知动物从我们的视线中消失的世界吗？这是一项关于气候变化影响的新研究提出的预测。）”和全文内容可知，文章主要讲述一项有关气候变化的新研究，研究人员预测到，如果不迅速采取行动减少温室气体的排放，大量物种可能死于气候变化。B项“Massive species may die from climate change.（大量物种可能死于气候变化。）”概括文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选B项。
C
When the Chinese spacecraft Chang’e-5 returned to Earth on December 17, 2020, it brought back something not seen on our planet since the 1970s: moon rock samples. This precious cargo, collected by Chang’e-5’s robotic research vehicle in the northwest region of the lunar near side, is now being studied by scientists in Beijing. The success of the latest Chinese space mission also showcased technology that may be used in future years to create human settlements on Earth’s near neighbor.
The returned lunar samples will “absolutely add new knowledge of the history of the moon, particularly its volcanoes,” says Xiao Long, a planetary scientist at China University of Geosciences. The rocks sent back by Chang’e-5 “will ask us to rethink about why and how the moon’s volcanic history lasted this long,” he says.
The Chang’e-5 mission was more than just a trip to collect moon rocks. It was also the latest stage of a long, planned sequence of robotic lunar explorations by China that have grown ever more scientifically advanced.
The program began with the 2007 launch of Chang’e-1 and Chang’e-2 three years later. These craft circled the moon collecting data used to help guide Chang’e-3 and Chang’e-4, the first Chinese spacecraft to land on the moon surface, and to direct their robotic vehicles. The robot on Chang’e-5 was able to collect rock and soil samples and return them to Earth. In the near future, an identical spacecraft called Chang’e-6 will attempt a sample-return mission from the moon’s south pole—an area of intense scientific interest-given the large amount of water ice present.
The more advanced Chang’e-7 and Chang’e-8 spacecraft are also planned to land near the south pole to carry out analysis of the region and test new technologies, including detecting and obtaining materials that could be useful to future human explorers, such as water and hydrogen, and testing 3D printing on the lunar surface.
The long-term aim of the Chang’s program is to establish an International Lunar Research Station around 2030 to support robotic and, eventually, crewed missions.
8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The moon’s recent volcanic activities. B. The significance of the moon rock samples.
C. New knowledge of the history of the moon. D. Further studies of the returned lunar samples.
9. What distinguishes the mission of Chang’e-6 from that of Chang’e-5?
A. The technology they use. B. The time they spend on the moon.
C. The specific locations they explore. D. The amount of material they bring back.
10. Chang’e-7 and Chang’e-8 space missions are mainly intended to ________.
A. transport researchers to the moon station
B. build up an International Lunar Research Station
C. collect data necessary to guide moon-landing spacecraft
D. find and test resources and means to support living on the moon
11. Which of the following best summarizes the Chang’s space program?
A. A project to study the surface of the moon.
B. A plan to improve human settlements on the moon.
C. A set of experiments to test the possibility of manned spacecraft.
D. A series of increasingly challenging scientific lunar explorations.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了2020年12月17日，中国航天器嫦娥五号返回地球，带回了自20世纪70年代以来在地球上从未见过的东西——月球岩石样本。文章介绍了月球岩石样品的意义以及嫦娥项目的一些目标和计划。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“The returned lunar samples will “absolutely add new knowledge of the history of the moon, particularly its volcanoes,” says Xiao Long, a planetary scientist at China University of Geosciences. The rocks sent back by Chang’e-5 “will ask us to rethink about why and how the moon’s volcanic history lasted this long,” he says.(中国地质大学的行星科学家肖龙表示，返回的月球样本“绝对会增加关于月球历史，特别是其火山的新知识”。嫦娥五号发回的岩石“将让我们重新思考月球的火山历史为何以及如何持续了这么长时间，”他说)”可知，第二段主要讲了月球岩石样品的意义。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“This precious cargo, collected by Chang’e-5’s robotic research vehicle in the northwest region of the lunar near side, is now being studied by scientists in Beijing.”（这批珍贵的货物是由嫦娥五号的机器人研究车在月球西北部附近收集的，目前北京的科学家正在对其进行研究。）和第四段中“In the near future, an identical spacecraft called Chang’e-6 will attempt a sample-return mission from the moon’s south pole—an area of intense scientific interest-given the large amount of water ice present.(在不久的将来，一艘名为“嫦娥六号”的相同航天器将尝试从月球南极进行采样返回任务——月球南极是一个让人们有着浓厚科学兴趣的区域——因为那里存在大量的水冰)”可知，嫦娥六号和嫦娥五号的任务不同在于探索的位置不同。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The more advanced Chang’e-7 and Chang’e-8 spacecraft are also planned to land near the south pole to carry out analysis of the region and test new technologies, including detecting and obtaining materials that could be useful to future human explorers, such as water and hydrogen, and testing 3D printing on the lunar surface.(更先进的嫦娥七号和嫦娥八号航天器也计划在南极附近着陆，对该地区进行分析并测试新技术，包括探测和获取可能对未来人类探索者有用的材料，如水和氢，并测试月球表面的3D打印)”可知，“嫦娥七号”和“嫦娥八号”的空间任务主要是寻找和测试支持在月球上生活的资源和方法。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The long-term aim of the Chang’s program is to establish an International Lunar Research Station around 2030 to support robotic and, eventually, crewed missions.(嫦娥计划的长期目标是在2030年左右建立一个国际月球研究站，以支持机器人和最终载人任务)”结合上文提到的嫦娥五号、六号以及七八号的任务可推知，嫦娥计划一系列越来越具有挑战性的月球科学探索。故选D。
D
Many of us write a list of things we'd like to do before we die—often called a bucket list. Bucket lists have helped some people overcome anxiety which would have stopped them following their dreams. Some of us may choose to write one to fill our life with exciting and new experiences—from skydiving to swimming with sharks—the list is unlimited.
A blogger called Annette White said she made a promise to live her bucket list which continuously pushes the comfort zone to its limits and beyond it. Such a list can be exciting and can indeed help you plan your life and give you focus. When the BBC reporter Helen Fawkes knew she was suffering from incurable ovarian(卵巢的)cancer, she took comfort in drawing up a bucket list——although she called it her “list for living” because these were things for making the most of life. Sadly, she was not able to achieve all of her 50 things before she died at the age of 45.
Creating a bucket list can certainly give us hope, but some people have argued it can be used as a coping strategy to try to control something uncontrollable—death Clinical psychologist Linda Blair told the BBC that she was not really in favor of bucket lists ... “They take you away from the chance to be spontaneous(自发的).” It's probably true that a list can encourage people to follow someone else's idea of the perfect life. And also, following a fixed list of goals makes you less impulsive(冲动的)— your aims and wishes might change as you approach the day when you finally kick the bucket.
But why not at least dream of what we would like to do? Why not reach for the stars, even if we only reach the sky? Whether we want to plan it or just see what happens, we don't know what tomorrow will bring, so maybe we should live for today.
12 What can we know about a bucket list?
A. It encourages people to follow someone else's life.
B. It refers to doing something exciting and challenging.
C. It includes unlimited choices for us to do before we die.
D. It is a strategy to try to control something uncontrollable.
13. How does the author explain the meaning of bucket lists?
A. By analyzing the reasons.
B. By giving different examples.
C. By conducting a research.
D. By asking some questions.
14. What is the Linda Blair's attitude towards bucket lists?
A. Ambiguous. B. Objective.
C. Favorable. D. Disapproving.
15. What does the last paragraph imply?
A. We should live in the moment.
B. We can try to reach for the stars.
C. We just wait to see what happens.
D. We dream of whatever we'd like to do.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文，文章主要讲述遗愿清单、遗愿清单的积极和消极意义，及是否要做遗愿清单。最后文章告诉我们要活在当下。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Many of us write a list of things we'd like to do before we die—often called a bucket list.（我们中的许多人在死之前都写出我们想做事情的清单，这经常被叫作遗愿清单。）”及“the list is unlimited.（这个清单是不限的。）”可知，我们在死之前，遗愿清单包含无限的选择。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“A blogger called Annette White said she made a promise to live her bucket list which continuously pushes the comfort zone to its limits and beyond it.（一个叫Annette White的博客说：她承诺要过上遗愿清单上的生活，这不断把舒适圈推向极限，并超越它。）”及第三段“It's probably true that a list can encourage people to follow someone else's idea of the perfect life.（这可能是真的：一个清单能鼓励人们跟从其他人的完美生活想法）”可知，作者举了Annette White和Linda Blair的例子来说明愿望清单的意义，故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。从第三段的“Creating a bucket list can certainly give us hope, but some people have argued it can be used as a coping strategy to try to control something uncontrollable—death Clinical psychologist Linda Blair told the BBC that she was not really in favor of bucket lists ...（创造遗愿清单当然能给我们希望，但一些人也争论说，遗愿清单被用作复制策略以此控制不可控的事情。死亡临床心理学家Linda Blair告诉英国广播公司，她不支持遗愿清单。）”可知，Linda对于愿望清单的态度是不太赞成的。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Whether we want to plan it or just see what happens, we don't know what tomorrow will bring, so maybe we should live for today.（无论我们想要计划它还是只是看看会发生什么，我们不知道明天会带来什么，所以也许我们应该活在今天。）”可知，最后一段暗示我们应该活在当下，故选A项。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国丝绸之路的历史以及其在中欧贸易和文化交流中发挥的重要作用。
【41题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：在三月，世界上最重要的海上贸易航线之一苏伊士运河被一艘船只封锁，导致欧洲和亚洲之间发生了近300艘船只的大规模海上交通堵塞。此处为谓语动词，由“In march”得知此处用过去时，而Suez Canal(名词单数)与谓语动词block之间是被动的关系，使用一般过去时的被动语态，主语是单数，谓语也用单数形式。故填was blocked。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意：除了苏伊士运河，中国古代丝绸之路在中欧贸易和文化交流中也发挥了重要作用。固定搭配played an important role in...意为“在……中起了重要作用”。其中important为元音因素开头，前面应使用不定冠词an。故填an。
【43题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：在早期历史上，丝绸之路是最重要的贸易通道，标志着全球化的开始。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语was且无连词，动词mark用非谓语形式，动词mark与逻辑主语The Silk Road构成主动关系，故应用现在分词作状语。故填marking。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：中国丝绸之路是中国古代将东方世界引入西方文明的第一条路，可以追溯到汉代。此处为定语从句修饰先行词route，且先行词（被序数词the first修饰）在从句中作主语，指物，故应用关系代词that。故填that。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意：中国丝绸之路是中国古代将东方世界引入西方文明的第一条路，可以追溯到汉代。固定搭配date from意为“追溯到……”。故填from。
【46题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：在随后的历史岁月中，许多伟大的人物为丝绸之路的发展做出了重要的贡献。make contributions to为固定搭配，意为“为……做出贡献”。形容词significant 修饰名词contributions作定语。故填contributions。
【47题详解】
考查形容词。句意：虽然丝绸之路主要是一条贸易路线，但它首先是对彼此有利的。根据该空前的was可知，此空应用benefit的形容词形式，be beneficial to 意为“有利于”。故填beneficial。
【48题详解】
考查副词。句意：它实际上对世界文明的发展产生了巨大的吸引力，开启了欧亚政治经济的远距离交流。分析句子可知，此处应该用副词修饰动词made。故填actually。
【49题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：古丝绸之路更像是一本历史教科书，让来自不同文化和地区的人们了解古代发生的事情。此处考察固定搭配enable sb. to do sth.(使某人能够做某事)，用动词不定式形式。故填to comprehend。
【50题详解】
考查时态。句意：时至今日，中国的丝绸之路已经给中国乃至世界的旅游业带来了巨大的吸引力。分析句子可知，根据时间状语up to now，所以本句时态为现在完成时。主语the Silk Road为第三人称单数形式，其后谓语动词也应使用第三人称单数形式。故填has brought。

The experience of lose a competition was really painful. Then, my dad said, “My son, life is like battlefield. You have to lose many time to win the final victory.” Thanks for his advice, I never give up when I do anything.
【答案】gives→gave
them→it
去掉was
after→before
such→so
complete→completely
lose→losing
在battlefield前加a
time→times
for→to
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者小时候参加演讲比赛非常紧张，受到了父亲鼓励，从此受益终生。
【详解】第一处：考查动词时态。句意：他总是给我一些建议，但我很少认真对待。根据第一句的时间状语in my childhood可知是发生在过去的事，所以都用一般过去时，故将gives改为gave。
第二处：考查代词。句意：同上。因为此处是代替前面的名词advice，advice是不可数名词，没复数形式。为了避免重复，them可代替前面出现的复数名词，而it可代替前面出现的单数名词或不可数名词。故将them改为it。
第三处：考查时态语态。句意：有一天他鼓励我参加一个演讲比赛。因encourage后有宾语me，所以用主动形式，不用被动结构，即encourage sb to do sth鼓励某人干某事。 故去掉was。
第四处：考查介词。句意：所以我报了名，并在比赛前，我尽力做充分的准备。 根据本句的意思可知before符合语境。故将after改为before。
第五处：考查状语从句。句意：但是当我站在舞台上的那一刻，我非常紧张，我的大脑一片空白。因so/such…that…是结果状语从句的连词，而nervous是形容词该用so, 因为so+adj./adv.+that…等；而such+(a/an)+n.(单数)/复数/不可数名词+that…。故将such改为so。
第六处：考查副词。句意：同上。本句中的complete用来修饰后面的动词went blank，修饰动词要用副词。故将complete改为completely。

第七处：考查非谓语动词。句意：输掉比赛的经历真的很痛苦。因为of是介词，后加动词要用ing形式。 故将lose改为losing。
第八处： 考查冠词。 句意：然后，爸爸说:“儿子，生活就像战场。因为battlefield是可数名词，且根据句意可知，有“一个”的意思得用不定冠词，又因battlefield的第一个音素“b”发音为辅音音素，故在battlefield前加a。
第九处：考查名词。句意：你必须输很多次，才能赢得最后的胜利。可知此处是指“次数”，且被many修饰，所以用复数。time改为times。
第十处：考查固定搭配。句意：多亏他的建议，当我做任何事情的时候，我从来都不会放弃。可知thanks to 符合句意。故将for改为to。

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】How to develop a better parent-child relationship
Nowadays many young parents are addicted to their electric devices like smart phones or computers, paying less or no attention to their kids.
Then how does it come about? Admittedly, the smart phone indeed dramatically changes our life. With it, people can do nearly everything they want, such as surfing the Internet for information, watching films or videos, doing some online shopping and playing games as well. Thus, a smart phone serves as a platform for them to get fun in a comfortable and convenient way. As a result, more and more young parents are being attracted.
However, nothing can replace face-to-face communication between parents and kids, which requires parents to think about the real meaning of life, spend more time with the children and share the fun together. Only in this way can a better parent-child relationship be developed.
