A new study finds climate events such as flding, heat waves and drught wrsen mre than half f the knwn diseases that infect peple. These diseases include malaria, chlera and anthrax.
Researchers examined medical literature (文献) f established cases f such diseases. They fund ut that 218 ut f the knwn 375 human infectius diseases seemed t be made wrse by extreme weather cnnected t climate change. The study cnnected mre than 1,000 pathways frm climate events t sick peple. In sme cases, heavy rains and flding sicken peple thrugh disease-carrying msquites, rats and deer. Other events, like warming ceans and heat waves, spil seafd and drughts bring bats carrying viral infectins t peple.
Medical dctrs, ging back t the days f ancient Greek civilizatin, have lng cnnected disease t weather. But this study shws hw widespread the influence f climate events is n human health. “If climate is changing, the risk f these diseases is changing,” said Dr Jnathan Patz. “The findings f this study are terrifying and illustrate well the enrmus (巨大的) cnsequences f climate change n human pathgens (病原体). Humans need t all wrk tgether t prevent disasters frm climate change.”
Camil Mra, a climate data expert, said the study is nt abut predicting future cases. “These are things that have already happened,” he nted. Here’s ne example Mra knws frm his wn experience. Abut five years ag, Mra’s hme in rural Clmbia was flded, creating a breeding grund fr msquites. Mra cntracted Chikungunya, a virus spread by msquit bites. He survived, but he still suffers pain related t the disease. In anther case, the remains f a reindeer which died frm anthrax were unearthed as the Siberian permafrst (永冻土) melted frm warming in 2016. A child tuched the dead animal, gt anthrax, and an utbreak spread.
Dr Aarn Bernstein said the study is a gd warning abut climate and health fr nw and the future.

【答案】46．C 47．D 48．D 49．B 50．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现气候事件加剧了人类的传染病，严重影响人类的健康。
46．细节理解题。根据第三段中Jnathan Patz所说的话“The findings f this study are terrifying and illustrate well the enrmus (巨大的) cnsequences f climate change n human pathgens (病原体). Humans need t all wrk tgether t prevent disasters frm climate change (这项研究的结果令人震惊，并很好地说明了气候变化对人类病原体的巨大影响。人类需要共同努力，防止气候变化带来的灾难)”可知，他认为研究揭示了气候变化对人类病原体的巨大影响，人类应紧急应对气候变化。故选C项。
47．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Abut five years ag, Mra’s hme in rural Clmbia was flded, creating a breeding grund fr msquites. Mra cntracted Chikungunya, a virus spread by msquit bites. He survived, but he still suffers pain related t the disease. In anther case, the remains f a reindeer which died frm anthrax were unearthed as the Siberian permafrst (永冻土) melted frm warming in 2016. A child tuched the dead animal, gt anthrax, and an utbreak spread. (大约五年前，Mra在哥伦比亚农村的家被洪水淹没，成为蚊子的滋生地。Mra感染了基孔肯雅热，一种通过蚊子叮咬传播的病毒。他活了下来，但他仍然忍受着与疾病有关的痛苦。在另一个案例中，2016年西伯利亚永久冻土因变暖而融化，一只死于炭疽热的驯鹿的遗体被挖掘出来。一个孩子接触了死去的动物，感染了炭疽，然后疫情蔓延开来)”可知，这两个例子说明了气候变化导致疾病传播，人类为此受累。由此推知，作者提到例子是为了说明气候事件对人类健康的不良影响。故选D项。
48．推理判断题。根据最后一段中Aarn所说的话“But f curse, it nly reprts n what we already knw and what’s yet unknwn abut pathgens may be yet mre cmpelling abut hw preventing further climate change may prevent future disasters like COVID-19. (但当然，它只报告了我们已经知道的东西，关于如何预防进一步的气候变化可能会阻止未来的COVID-19等灾难，对病原体的未知信息可能更具说服力)”可知，Aarn是在说明对病原体的未知信息可以发挥的巨大作用。由此推知，他强调人们应该更多地关心未知的疾病。故选D项。
49．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“A new study finds climate events such as flding, heat waves and drught wrsen mre than half f the knwn diseases that infect peple. (一项新的研究发现，洪水、热浪和干旱等气候事件使一半以上的已知感染人类的疾病恶化)”可知，文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现，该研究显示了气候事件对人类传染病的加剧作用，严重影响人类的健康。由此可知，B项“气候事件与传染病有关”符合文章大意，适合作为标题。故选B项。
50．词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“Dr Aarn Bernstein said the study is a gd warning abut climate and health fr nw and the future. (Aarn Bernstein博士说，这项研究对现在和未来的气候和健康都是一个很好的警告)”“But f curse, it nly reprts n what we already knw and what’s yet unknwn abut pathgens (但当然，它只报告了我们已经知道的东西，对病原体的未知信息)”和下文“abut hw preventing further climate change may prevent future disasters like COVID-19 (关于如何预防进一步的气候变化可能会阻止未来的COVID-19等灾难)”可知，此处从Aarn Bernstein博士的角度解释该研究的意义，说明研究中已知的内容对我们有警示作用，再结合发现未知事物的常识可推知，如果能了解病原体的未知信息，那么就可以更准确地把握气候变化和这些传染病之间的关联，从而对预防进一步的灾难更有说服力。由此可知，划线词cmpelling意思应该是“有说服力的”，与cnvincing意思相近。故选A项。

Engineers need t put themselves in their prduct users’ shes t build effective slutins.” It was empathy, while watching friends and family deal with daily tasks, that pushed ther students’ prjects.
Student Michael nticed hw reading disrder made it difficult fr his friends t fllw alng n pages full f text. Their brains tend t cnfuse the rder f numbers, letters, and ther images. S Michael created a small adjustable windw-blind-style device. “My friend culd separate small sectins f text while reading,” he said.
In the prcess, students tried different versins f their prducts t make the best ne t shw the class. Rather than having step-by-step directins fr the prjects, Blt preferred t leave students’ creative paths pen. “If we want t d better, we have t have a chance t fail,” he said.
