The Imprtance f Willpwer
N matter what yur gals are in life, willpwer is f great imprtance. Willpwer is als f critical imprtance fr behaviral change. Whether yu’re ___11___ a bad habit, trying t get in shape, r struggling with prcrastinatin (拖延症), yu’ll need willpwer. Of curse, I’m all abut using strategies t reduce ur ___12___ n willpwer, but yu cannt remve the need fr willpwer entirely.
A steady, disciplined use f willpwer might seem like a(n) ___13___ f persnal freedm, but it is nt. If ___14___ willpwer leaves yu a slave t bad habits and addictins, then yu’re nt really free. If yu can’t gather the willpwer t vercme prcrastinatin and earn a better life fr yurself, then yu’re nt really free. T ___15___ true freedm, yu’ll need willpwer.
Imprtantly, research has shwn that self-cntrl is ___16___. When researchers teach peple with pr self-cntrl the strategies used by thse with high self-cntrl, the pr self-cntrl subjects imprve. Willpwer is nt fixed; it can be develped thrugh strategy and practice.
Peple wh learn t master willpwer becme active agents in life, and discver that they are respnse-able in every situatin. And this applies t their behavirs as well as their emtins. Walter Mischel described self-cntrl as “the ‘master talent’ ___17___ emtinal intelligence, essential fr cnstructing a satisfying life.”
It’s hard t find anyne wh says that willpwer desn’t matter. Yet, despite the ___18___ agreement abut hw imprtant willpwer is, there is very little agreement in the scientific cmmunity abut hw willpwer actually wrks.
Walter Mischel is the man behind the famus “marshmallw (棉花软糖) test” and the authr f a bk by the same name. His research appeared t shw that yung children with high self-cntrl ___19___ up ding better as high schlers and adults, but mre recent research has prved this finding wrng, shwing that the willpwer levels f yung children are nt a gd ____20____ f later success.
This makes sense because the prefrntal crtex — the area f the brain respnsible fr willpwer — is prly develped in yung children and desn’t finish develping until early adulthd.
II. Reading Cmprehensin
Sectin A
Directins: Fr each blank in the fllwing passage there are fur wrds r phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the wrd r phrase that best fits the cntext.
The daughters, but nt the sns, f wmen wh give birth at age 30 r lder are mre likely t experience symptms f depressin as yung adults, accrding t research published by the American Psychlgical Assciatin.
Tearne, a dctral student at the University f Western Australia and lead authr f the study, and her clleagues analyzed data frm the Western Australian Pregnancy Chrt Study. Pregnant (怀孕的) wmen were selected int this study, and prvided psychlgical ___21___ . Their ffspring (子女) then underwent psychlgical ___22___ at varius ages ver the next 23 years.
In this study, the researchers ___23___ self-reprted levels f varius symptms f depressin, anxiety and stress frm 1,200 f the ffspring at age 20 and cmpared them with the age f the mther and father at the time the children were brn. Daughters whse mthers were ver age 30 at the time f ___24___ had significantly higher levels f stress, depressin and anxiety cmpared with daughters whse mthers were under age 30. Hwever, the fathers' age at that particular time had n effect, and there was n effect fund fr ___25___ .
While the exact cause f this relatinship is nt clear, Tearne said she suspects it is nt necessarily ___26___ .
“One hypthesis (假设) is that ___27___ may ccur in the mther-daughter relatinship because f a large age difference between the tw,” said Tearne. “It may be that a 30 r mre year age difference between mther and daughter leads t a significant difference in the ___28___ systems. That may cause ___29___ in the relatinship, leading t stress, wrry and sadness in the child, particularly during the transitin t yung adulthd.”
Anther pssible ____30____ may be that the wmen wh gave birth ver age 30 wuld be in their 50s at the time their children were assessed. Therefre, they are mre likely t be experiencing health prblems assciated with ____31____ . This culd als lead t higher levels f ____32____ in the children, Tearne said. Other studies have suggested that daughters are mre affected by their mther’s health prblems than sns. This culd explain why the ____33____ nly appears in daughters, she said.
“It is imprtant t remember, t, that the study examined symptms f distress, rather than ____34____ diagnsis,” said Mnique Rbinsn, PhD, f the University f Western Australia, anther authr f the study. “It culd be that the ffspring f lder mthers are at risk fr a few mre symptms f depressin, anxiety and stress, but that des nt necessarily mean they will experience a(n) ____35____ mental disrder.”

Sectin B
Directins: Read the fllwing three passages. Each passage is fllwed by several questins r unfinished statements. Fr each f them there are fur chices marked A, B, C and D. Chse the ne that fits best accrding t the infrmatin given in the passage yu have just read.
（A）
Why, in a wrld where we technically prduce enugh fd t feed everyne, d millins f peple g t bed hungry each night? The statistics are tragic, and such a cntradictin shuld have n place in ur mdern wrld.
The UN’s secnd sustainability gal, “Zer Hunger,” is an ambitius plan t end hunger in the wrld by 2030. Hwever, the glbal scale f the hunger staggers the imaginatin, and it’s getting wrse. Accrding t Wrld Visin, as many as 828 millin peple, r 10% f the glbal ppulatin, are suffering frm fd insecurity. What are the driving frces behind this prblem f hunger?
Armed cnflict is ne. It frces peple away frm their hmes, ruins ecnmies and turns millins f peple int refugees (难民) wh becme reliant n aid and luck fr their daily needs. Extreme weather events als drive wrld hunger by destrying hmes and making farmland unusable. Finally, arund 30 percent f the wrld’s fd is lst r wasted annually. Fd lss ccurs when fd is damaged r spiled while mving thrugh the supply chain. Fd waste happens when individuals, supermarkets r restaurants buy mre fd than they need and thrw away the unnecessary.
Despite these terrible facts, Wrld Hunger Day isn’t just abut bad news. Funded in 2011 by the Hunger Prject, Wrld Hunger Day is als abut celebrating slutins that will eliminate (消除) starvatin.
In Africa, the Hunger Prject has been wrking t encurage mre sustainable and efficient farming methds. Fr example, by diversifying their crps, farmers will have healthier sil. Furthermre, since farmers need access t safe, clean water, the Hunger Prject teaches peple hw t mnitr, maintain and repair water systems. The UN Wrld Fd Prgramme aids farmers by helping them cnnect t lcal ecnmies, imprve prductin methds and reduce crp lsses. And, fr children and the weak, they prvide special nutrient-rich fds.
S what can yu d t help eliminate wrld hunger? Aside frm trying t reduce yur fd waste, keep educating yurself and thers abut the issue. Lk fr pprtunities t feed the hungry in yur wn cmmunities. Each step, each chice, and each vice can help make hunger a thing f the past.

（C）
In the early 1900s, French chemist, Eduard Benedictus, invented shatterprf (防碎的) glass by chance. But its significance and relevance didn’t emerge until the car market created the prblem fr which he had already fund the answer.
Such mments f serendipity reveal the unpredictable nature f innvatin. Yet, even in cases where chance plays a rle, as in Benedictus’s stry, the brader questin remains: Are such discveries truly brn f luck, r were they smehw “in the air,” waiting fr the right persn t seize them?
Sme argue all the discveries wuld have been made by ther peple. They believe if the time was ripe in cnceptual and technlgical terms, smene wuld have gt there sner r later. This is the used and abused understanding f theries that were “in the air”. Independently, Charles Darwin and Alfred R. Wallace (the latter 15 years behind Darwin) arrived at the thery f evlutin by natural selectin, bth cunting n similar data. There existed slight differences in the thery, but the cincidences f thught were astnishing. This phenmenn, which als exists in bilgical evlutin, is called cnvergence: tw nn-clsely related species develp similar functinal adaptatins. This ccurs because the envirnment pses similar survival prblems t bth, namely similar selective pressures. This is an imprtant clue that can help explain why this dynamic als exists in scientific knwledge: There are similar selective pressures and different research grups that cmpete t cme up with the slutins.
If we analyze the steps undertaken that led t the result, we can see that there were in fact sme accidental elements. The verall dynamic was nt accidental, thugh. Yet is it really pssible that all discveries were in the air?
Let us assume fr a mment that this is true and that the mst luck can d is speed up the inevitable. All scientists arc standing n the shulders f the giants wh have gne befre them, and there is bjectively a cumulative (积累的) element in science. Nevertheless, at sme pint and in the right circumstances, it was the unknwn scientists, nt the giants, wh managed t see a little farther. The mind f the giant was imprisned by prir knwledge and s trapped within the framewrk f established habits, research questins, and established methds. The new, little-knwn scientist, n the ther hand, will in ne way r anther have been able t break free f the chains f established knwledge. And s it will have been pssible fr them t imagine ther wrlds. This suggests that it will be innvatrs, with their prepared minds, wh have a better chance f making accidental discveries, namely that are irregular and unexpected.
43. In paragraph 2 “serendipity” refers t __________.
A. accidental inventinB. emergence f prblems
C. late recgnitinD. chemical innvatin
44. The example f Darwin and Wallace is given t illustrate __________.
A. fierce cmpetitin amng bilgical scientists
B. the imprtant rle f similar data in intentinal research
C. independent but similar slutins under shared pressures
D. limited resurces and technlgical dependency in science
45. What advantage might lesser-knwn scientists have ver established researchers?
A. Access t advanced tls.B. Freedm frm rigid mindsets.
C. Strnger peer cperatin.D. Greater funding pprtunities.
46. Which statement best reflects the main idea f the passage?
A. All discveries are inevitable results f technlgical prgress.
B Serendipity alne drives grundbreaking scientific achievements.
C. Traditinal methds prevent innvatin and shuld be abandned.
D. Majr breakthrughs integrate prepared minds with accidental pprtunities.

Using rain and snw measurements since 1950 and cmputer simulatins (模拟) fr future climate, scientists calculated that fr every degree Fahrenheit the wrld warms, extreme rainfall at higher altitude (海拔) increases by 8.3%, accrding t a study in Nature.
___47___ And the rain is nt cnveniently stred away like snwpack that can recharge reservirs (水库) in spring and summer. "It is nt just a far-ff prblem that is prjected t ccur in the future, but the data is actually telling us that it's already happening and we see that in the data ver the past few decades,” said lead authr Mhammed Ombadi, a Lawrence Berkeley Natinal Labratry climate scientist.
The study lked at nly the heaviest rains each year ver six decades in the nrthern half f the Earth, finding that as altitude rse, s did rainfall. The biggest increase in rains were nticed at abut 10,000 feet. That includes much f the American west, where Ombadi said “it’s very bvius”, as well as parts f the Appalachian Muntains. ___48___

But in the lng term, anther prblem is water supply. In times f drught, water managers like t keep water levels high in reservirs, which they can d with heavy snwpacks because it melts slwly. ___50___ S as warming causes rainier extremes, sciety is ging t have t chse between cutting water use because f lw water levels in reservirs t absrb a pssible large sudden muntain runff event r build expensive new reservirs.
A. But they can’t d that with heavy rainfall.
B. He pinted ut the flding can als hurt fd prductin.
C. Heavy snw’s flding impact is lessened because it takes time t melt.
D. Anther big htspt in Asia is the Himalayas, Tian Shan and Hindu Kush muntains, with the Alps als affected.
E. Heavy rain in muntains causes a lt mre prblems than big snw, including flding, landslides, etc., the study fund.
F. These muntainus systems are supplying mst f the water, s any decreases in water supply wuld be pretty significant in terms f water management.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了泰国一只侏儒河马M Deng因其可爱的形象在网络上走红，随后获得了广泛的关注。
【1题详解】
考查介词。句意：如今，名为M Deng的侏儒河马已经拥有了一首官方歌曲及视频，该作品以多种语言发布，供全球粉丝欣赏。“in + 语言”表示“用某种语言”，此处in several languages表示“用几种语言”。故填in。
【2题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：过去几个月里，动物园工作人员阿塔蓬·农迪（Atthapn Nundee）一直在发布这只动物生活中的温馨瞬间。根据时间状语“fr the past few mnths”可知，动作从过去开始持续到现在，且有可能继续下去，所以可以用现在完成进行时，表示一直在做某事；也可以用现在完成时，强调过去的动作对现在造成的影响，即发布了动物生活的甜蜜时刻，使河马受到了广泛关注。主语为Z wrker Atthapn Nundee，助动词用has。故填has been psting/has psted。
【3题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：这只动物的粉丝们表示，他们非常喜欢看这只脸颊粉嫩的宝宝与她的妈妈和其他动物园工作人员积极互动。空处引导宾语从句，结构完整，意思也完整，所以可以用连接词that引导；也可以用hw，表示“他们是多么喜欢看……”，强调喜欢的程度，故填hw/that。
【4题详解】
考查代词。句意：这个名字是由社交媒体上的粉丝们选出的，与她两个兄弟的名字风格相似：M Tn（炖猪肉）和M Waan（甜猪肉）。这里是在比较M Deng的名字和她两个兄弟的名字，the name是单数，而她两个兄弟的名字是复数，所以用thse指代“the names”，避免重复，故填thse。
【5题详解】

The Imprtance f Willpwer
N matter what yur gals are in life, willpwer is f great imprtance. Willpwer is als f critical imprtance fr behaviral change. Whether yu’re ___11___ a bad habit, trying t get in shape, r struggling with prcrastinatin (拖延症), yu’ll need willpwer. Of curse, I’m all abut using strategies t reduce ur ___12___ n willpwer, but yu cannt remve the need fr willpwer entirely.
A steady, disciplined use f willpwer might seem like a(n) ___13___ f persnal freedm, but it is nt. If ___14___ willpwer leaves yu a slave t bad habits and addictins, then yu’re nt really free. If yu can’t gather the willpwer t vercme prcrastinatin and earn a better life fr yurself, then yu’re nt really free. T ___15___ true freedm, yu’ll need willpwer.
Imprtantly, research has shwn that self-cntrl is ___16___. When researchers teach peple with pr self-cntrl the strategies used by thse with high self-cntrl, the pr self-cntrl subjects imprve. Willpwer is nt fixed; it can be develped thrugh strategy and practice.
Peple wh learn t master willpwer becme active agents in life, and discver that they are respnse-able in every situatin. And this applies t their behavirs as well as their emtins. Walter Mischel described self-cntrl as “the ‘master talent’ ___17___ emtinal intelligence, essential fr cnstructing a satisfying life.”
It’s hard t find anyne wh says that willpwer desn’t matter. Yet, despite the ___18___ agreement abut hw imprtant willpwer is, there is very little agreement in the scientific cmmunity abut hw willpwer actually wrks.
Walter Mischel is the man behind the famus “marshmallw (棉花软糖) test” and the authr f a bk by the same name. His research appeared t shw that yung children with high self-cntrl ___19___ up ding better as high schlers and adults, but mre recent research has prved this finding wrng, shwing that the willpwer levels f yung children are nt a gd ____20____ f later success.
This makes sense because the prefrntal crtex — the area f the brain respnsible fr willpwer — is prly develped in yung children and desn’t finish develping until early adulthd.

Why, in a wrld where we technically prduce enugh fd t feed everyne, d millins f peple g t bed hungry each night? The statistics are tragic, and such a cntradictin shuld have n place in ur mdern wrld.
The UN’s secnd sustainability gal, “Zer Hunger,” is an ambitius plan t end hunger in the wrld by 2030. Hwever, the glbal scale f the hunger staggers the imaginatin, and it’s getting wrse. Accrding t Wrld Visin, as many as 828 millin peple, r 10% f the glbal ppulatin, are suffering frm fd insecurity. What are the driving frces behind this prblem f hunger?
Armed cnflict is ne. It frces peple away frm their hmes, ruins ecnmies and turns millins f peple int refugees (难民) wh becme reliant n aid and luck fr their daily needs. Extreme weather events als drive wrld hunger by destrying hmes and making farmland unusable. Finally, arund 30 percent f the wrld’s fd is lst r wasted annually. Fd lss ccurs when fd is damaged r spiled while mving thrugh the supply chain. Fd waste happens when individuals, supermarkets r restaurants buy mre fd than they need and thrw away the unnecessary.
Despite these terrible facts, Wrld Hunger Day isn’t just abut bad news. Funded in 2011 by the Hunger Prject, Wrld Hunger Day is als abut celebrating slutins that will eliminate (消除) starvatin.
In Africa, the Hunger Prject has been wrking t encurage mre sustainable and efficient farming methds. Fr example, by diversifying their crps, farmers will have healthier sil. Furthermre, since farmers need access t safe, clean water, the Hunger Prject teaches peple hw t mnitr, maintain and repair water systems. The UN Wrld Fd Prgramme aids farmers by helping them cnnect t lcal ecnmies, imprve prductin methds and reduce crp lsses. And, fr children and the weak, they prvide special nutrient-rich fds.

In the early 1900s, French chemist, Eduard Benedictus, invented shatterprf (防碎的) glass by chance. But its significance and relevance didn’t emerge until the car market created the prblem fr which he had already fund the answer.
Such mments f serendipity reveal the unpredictable nature f innvatin. Yet, even in cases where chance plays a rle, as in Benedictus’s stry, the brader questin remains: Are such discveries truly brn f luck, r were they smehw “in the air,” waiting fr the right persn t seize them?
Sme argue all the discveries wuld have been made by ther peple. They believe if the time was ripe in cnceptual and technlgical terms, smene wuld have gt there sner r later. This is the used and abused understanding f theries that were “in the air”. Independently, Charles Darwin and Alfred R. Wallace (the latter 15 years behind Darwin) arrived at the thery f evlutin by natural selectin, bth cunting n similar data. There existed slight differences in the thery, but the cincidences f thught were astnishing. This phenmenn, which als exists in bilgical evlutin, is called cnvergence: tw nn-clsely related species develp similar functinal adaptatins. This ccurs because the envirnment pses similar survival prblems t bth, namely similar selective pressures. This is an imprtant clue that can help explain why this dynamic als exists in scientific knwledge: There are similar selective pressures and different research grups that cmpete t cme up with the slutins.
If we analyze the steps undertaken that led t the result, we can see that there were in fact sme accidental elements. The verall dynamic was nt accidental, thugh. Yet is it really pssible that all discveries were in the air?
Let us assume fr a mment that this is true and that the mst luck can d is speed up the inevitable. All scientists arc standing n the shulders f the giants wh have gne befre them, and there is bjectively a cumulative (积累的) element in science.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了科学发现和创新背后的本质。
【43题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段“In the early 1900s, French chemist, Eduard Benedictus, invented shatterprf (防碎的) glass by chance. But its significance and relevance didn’t emerge until the car market created the prblem fr which he had already fund the answer. (20世纪初，法国化学家爱德华·本尼迪克特偶然发明了防碎玻璃。但直到汽车市场产生了问题，而他已经找到了答案，这个问题的重要性和相关性才显现出来)”及第二段“Yet, even in cases where chance plays a rle, as in Benedictus’s stry, the brader questin remains: Are such discveries truly brn f luck, r were they smehw “in the air,” waiting fr the right persn t seize them? (然而，即使像本尼迪克图斯的故事中那样，运气也起了作用，一个更广泛的问题仍然存在：这些发现真的是天生的运气，还是“在空中”，等待着合适的人来抓住它们)”可知，第一段提到Benedictus偶然发明防碎玻璃，第二段讨论“运气是否主导发现”。文中Such mments恰到承上启下的作用，由此推断划线单词的含义是“不可预测的创新，发现，偶然的新发现”。故选A。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Independently, Charles Darwin and Alfred R. Wallace (the latter 15 years behind Darwin) arrived at the thery f evlutin by natural selectin, bth cunting n similar data. There existed slight differences in the thery, but the cincidences f thught were astnishing. This phenmenn, which als exists in bilgical evlutin, is called cnvergence: tw nn-clsely related species develp similar functinal adaptatins. This ccurs because the envirnment pses similar survival prblems t bth, namely similar selective pressures. This is an imprtant clue that can help explain why this dynamic als exists in scientific knwledge: There are similar selective pressures and different research grups that cmpete t cme up with the slutins.(查尔斯·达尔文（Charles Darwin）和阿尔弗雷德·华莱士（Alfred R. Wallace）（后者比达尔文晚了15年）各自独立地提出了自然选择进化论，他们都依靠类似的数据。理论中存在着细微的差异，但思想上的一致性却是惊人的。这种现象也存在于生物进化中，被称为趋同：两个不密切相关的物种发展出相似的功能适应。这是因为环境给两者带来了相似的生存问题，即相似的选择压力。这是一个重要的线索，可以帮助解释为什么这种动态也存在于科学知识中：有类似的选择压力和不同的研究小组竞争提出解决方案)”可知，达尔文和华莱士独立提出自然选择理论，依赖相似的数据，且思想惊人的巧合，后文用生物学趋同进化进行类比：即不同物种因相似环境压力发展出相似适应性。由此推断文中以达尔文和华莱士为例为了说明在共同压力下独立进行研究，但却得出相似的解决方案。故选C。
【45题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The new, little-knwn scientist, n the ther hand, will in ne way r anther have been able t break free f the chains f established knwledge. (另一方面，新出现的、不知名的科学家将会以这样或那样的方式打破既定知识的枷锁。)”可知，不太知名的科学家可以摆脱僵化的思维方式。故选B。
【46题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“In the early 1900s, French chemist, Eduard Benedictus, invented shatterprf (防碎的) glass by chance. (20世纪初，法国化学家爱德华·本尼迪克特偶然发明了防碎玻璃)”，第二段“Such mments f serendipity reveal the unpredictable nature f innvatin. (这些偶然发现的时刻揭示了创新不可预测的本质)”，第三段“This ccurs because the envirnment pses similar survival prblems t bth, namely similar selective pressures. This is an imprtant clue that can help explain why this dynamic als exists in scientific knwledge: There are similar selective pressures and different research grups that cmpete t cme up with the slutins. (这是因为环境给两者带来了相似的生存问题，即相似的选择压力。这是一个重要的线索，可以帮助解释为什么这种动态也存在于科学知识中：有类似的选择压力和不同的研究小组竞争提出解决方案)”，第四段“Yet is it really pssible that all discveries were in the air? (然而，真的有可能所有的发现都在空中吗)”及最后一段“And s it will have been pssible fr them t imagine ther wrlds. This suggests that it will be innvatrs, with their prepared minds, wh have a better chance f making accidental discveries, namely that are irregular and unexpected. (所以他们有可能想象出其他的世界。这表明，有准备的创新者更有可能获得偶然的发现，即非常规的和意想不到的发现)”可知，首段通过偶然发现引发对创新本质的探讨，继而开始论述创新不可预测的本质。说明相似问题催生相似解决方案，最后得出核心结论，即重大发现=准备好的头脑+偶然机遇。由此得知，全文在探讨科学发现和创新背后的本质，即有准备的头脑和偶然的机会相结合可以创造重大的突破。故选D。

A warming wrld is transfrming sme majr snwfalls ver muntains int extreme rain, wrsening bth dangerus flding as well as lng-term water shrtages, a new study has fund.
Using rain and snw measurements since 1950 and cmputer simulatins (模拟) fr future climate, scientists calculated that fr every degree Fahrenheit the wrld warms, extreme rainfall at higher altitude (海拔) increases by 8.3%, accrding t a study in Nature.
___47___ And the rain is nt cnveniently stred away like snwpack that can recharge reservirs (水库) in spring and summer. "It is nt just a far-ff prblem that is prjected t ccur in the future, but the data is actually telling us that it's already happening and we see that in the data ver the past few decades,” said lead authr Mhammed Ombadi, a Lawrence Berkeley Natinal Labratry climate scientist.
The study lked at nly the heaviest rains each year ver six decades in the nrthern half f the Earth, finding that as altitude rse, s did rainfall. The biggest increase in rains were nticed at abut 10,000 feet. That includes much f the American west, where Ombadi said “it’s very bvius”, as well as parts f the Appalachian Muntains. ___48___

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项新研究发现，全球变暖正在将一些山区的大雪转变为极端降雨，从而加剧了危险洪水和长期水资源短缺的问题。
【47题详解】
根据上文“Using rain and snw measurements since 1950 and cmputer simulatins fr future climate, scientists calculated that fr every degree Fahrenheit the wrld warms, extreme rainfall at higher altitude increases by 8.3%, accrding t a study in Nature. (根据《自然》杂志上的一项研究，科学家利用1950年以来的降雨和降雪测量数据以及未来气候的计算机模拟计算出，全球气温每升高一华氏度，高海拔地区的极端降雨量就会增加8.3%。)”和下文“And the rain is nt cnveniently stred away like snwpack that can recharge reservirs in spring and summer. (而且雨水并不像春夏季节可以为水库补水的积雪那样方便地储存起来。)”可知，本段主要讲述全球变暖导致高海拔地区极端降雨增加，且雨水与积雪不同，不能方便地储存。所以空白处的内容应该与极端降雨带来的问题有关。选项E“研究发现，山区的大雨比大雪引起的问题要多得多，包括洪水、山体滑坡等。”符合语境。故选E。
【48题详解】
根据上文“The biggest increase in rains were nticed at abut 10,000 feet. That includes much f the American west, where Ombadi said “it’s very bvius”, as well as parts f the Appalachian Muntains. (在海拔约1万英尺的地方，降雨量增加最为明显。这包括美国西部的大部分地区，Ombadi说“那里非常明显”，以及阿巴拉契亚山脉的部分地区。)”可知，本段主要列举了降雨量增加明显的地区，空白处应继续列举其他地区。选项D“亚洲的另一个热点地区是喜马拉雅山、天山和兴都库什山，阿尔卑斯山也受到影响。”符合语境。故选D。
【49题详解】
根据上文“Abut ne in fur peple n Earth live in an area s clse t the muntains r dwnhill that extreme rain and flding wuld hit them, Ombadi said. (Ombadi说，地球上大约四分之一的人生活在离山区或下坡很近的地区，极端降雨和洪水会袭击他们。)”和下文“He mentined Califrnia department f agriculture estimates f $89m in crp and farm animal lsses frm this year’s extreme rains. (他提到，加利福尼亚州农业部估计，今年的极端降雨导致农作物和家畜损失8900万美元。)”可知，空白处的内容应该与极端降雨和洪水对农业或粮食生产的影响有关。选项B“他指出，洪水还可能损害粮食生产。”符合语境。故选B。
【50题详解】
根据上文“In times f drught, water managers like t keep water levels high in reservirs, which they can d with heavy snwpacks because it melts slwly. (在干旱时期，水资源管理者喜欢保持水库的高水位，他们可以用厚厚的积雪来做到这一点，因为积雪融化得很慢。)”和下文“S as warming causes rainier extremes, sciety is ging t have t chse between cutting water use because f lw water levels in reservirs t absrb a pssible large sudden muntain runff event r build expensive new reservirs. (因此，随着气候变暖导致极端降雨增多，社会将不得不在减少用水以应对水库水位低以吸收可能发生的突然大量山区径流，或者建造昂贵的新水库之间做出选择。)”可知，空白处的内容应该与大雨对水库水位管理的影响有关，且与上文形成对比。选项A“但是大雨做不到这一点。”符合语境，其中that指代上文中的“keep water levels high in reservirs”。故选A。
