Ⅰ.阅读理解
British artist Amy Sharrcks cllects nearly all kinds f water. In 2013 she set up the Museum f Water, a live piece f artwrk that travels all ver the wrld and invited peple t dnate water—frm spit t melted snw—in a bttle and discuss what it means t them.
The prgram aims t understand why peple treasure water and help prepare them fr a drier future and climate，Ms. Sharrcks tld an audience f climate experts, activists and museum curatrs(馆长)．“Fr example, we shw them hw t have three­minute shwers t better deal with water shrtages，” she said.
Amy is nt alne as a matter f fact. As wrld leaders increasingly face up t the serius results f climate change，curatrs are planning a new wave f museums, which are devted t what many cnsider a vital issue f the times. In 2015, a frmer lawyer Miranda Massie created the first United States museum which was entirely devted t climate change in New Yrk City. “Climate change is affecting virtually every aspect f ur lives，” Ms. Massie said. “But we can't fight the prblem with tp­dwn plicies alne. We need the public t participate and museums are a way t pen peple's mind t what matters.”
Bridget McKenzie, directr f Flw Assciates, wanted t raise awareness f the dilemma f the Pacific island natins, which are particularly vulnerable(易受伤害的) t rising sea level. S with her team she set up a “ghst bat” made f ld fish nets at the University f Cambridge's Museum f Archaelgy and Anthrplgy, and asked visitrs what they wuld take with them if they were suddenly frced t leave their hmes.
While museums can be a pwerful way f cmmunicating the effects f climate change, they shuld als practice what they spread and cntrl their wn emissins (排放物). “Rughly half f cities’ emissins cme frm energy use in buildings，” said Ellit Gdger, a museums' assciatin representative f the West Midlands in Britain，“museums have a duty t be energy efficient, fr example, by using laser lighting fr displays r imprving their building materials.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。世界各地的许多博物馆想通过自己的展览来改变人们对气候变化的看法，为应对气候变化贡献一份自己的力量。

A．What is valuable t peple.
B．What causes sea level t rise.

答案 C
4．What may Gdger advise climate museums t d?
A．Take the initiative.
B．Lead by example.

答案与解析
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家发现了世界上最古老的面包，通过分析得知了它们的年代、原料和制作过程等。
1．the 考查冠词。形容词最高级前应用定冠词the。
2．which 考查定语从句。根据句子结构可知，此处用which引导非限制性定语从句。which在句中指代前面的主句“The breadcrumbs were burnt”。
3．rughly 考查副词。根据句子结构可知，此处用作状语，故用副词rughly“大约”。
4．discvery 考查名词。根据空前的This和空后的谓语动词可知，此处应填名词。discvery“发现”。
5．dated 考查时态。根据上下文可知，此处date所表示的动作发生在过去，故此处用一般过去时。date用作动词，意为“推断……的年代”。
6．hunters 考查名词。分析句子结构可知，此处缺少名词作表语，且空处与后面的gatherers并列，故用hunters“猎人；狩猎者”。
7．prcessing 考查非谓语动词。 by此处作介词，意为“通过(某种方式)”，故应用动名词作介词的宾语。
8．made 考查非谓语动词。根据句子结构可知，此处用非谓语动词作定语修饰“the flat pitta bread”，动词与所修饰的名词短语之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以用过去分词作定语。
9．fr 考查介词。根据语境可知，此处表示“面包可能是农业革命开始的一个原因”。the reasn fr...“……的原因”。
10．easier 考查形容词的比较级。根据句中的“and mre cnvenient”可知，此处也应用形容词的比较级。
