C

About 20,000 years ago,much of Europe,Asia,North and South America was covered by huge sheets (片) of ice,each many kilometres thick.Since then,the ice has gradually melted and the ice sheets have retreated.Today,the only ice sheets on Earth’s land masses are found in Antarctica and Greenland.Some ice also occurs as glaciers in mountainous regions and as floating ice floes (浮冰块) in the Arctic Ocean and around Antarctica.

At first sight,these remote left-overs from the last Ice Age seem of little importance for most of us today.However,nothing could be further from the truth.Many scientists believe that our planet is warming as a result of the greenhouse gases that we are pumping into the atmosphere.If the planet becomes warmer,the ice sheets will start to melt,causing sea level to rise perhaps several metres by the end of this century.Such a rise would cause widespread flooding of low-lying coastal areas and threaten many large cities.

Observations from space suggest that parts of the major ice sheets are beginning to melt more rapidly.Meanwhile,recent satellite images have also shown that unusually large areas of sea ice have been melting during the Arctic summer.Although sea level will not be affected by the melting of the floating ice,there will be other important environmental changes.For example,ice sheets act like a mirror,reflecting sunlight and cooling Earth.If the ice disappears,Earth is likely to become warmer and major climate changes could occur.Wildlife living in the polar regions may also be destroyed.

【语篇解读】本文是说明文。地球上冰层的融化可能导致海平面加速上升,物种大量消失,人类生活面临灾难。

28.What does the underlined word “retreated” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A.Grown. B.Reduced.

C.Formed. D.Disappeared.

答案B

解析词义猜测题。由第一段的描述以及该段中的“theicehasgraduallymelted”和“theonlyicesheetsonEarth’slandmassesarefoundinAntarcticaandGreenland”可知,冰逐渐融化,冰原也变小了,两万年前,欧洲、亚洲、北美洲和南美洲大部分被巨大的冰覆盖着,而现在地球陆地上的冰原只存在于南极洲和格陵兰岛。

29.What’s most common people’s attitude towards the ice sheets?

A.Optimistic. B.Critical.

C.Sincere. D.Unconcerned.

答案D

解析观点态度题。由第二段中的“Atfirstsight,theseremoteleft-oversfromthelastIceAgeseemoflittleimportanceformostofustoday”可知,乍一看,这些从冰河时代留下来的冰原对我们大多数人来说似乎意义不大,由此可推断,大多数人并不关心冰原的存在。

30.What would happen if the greenhouse gases continue to increase?

A.Vast amounts of land will be flooded.

B.Large cities in the world will disappear.

C.The sea level will drop to its lowest level.

D.Global temperatures will see ups and downs.

答案A

解析推理判断题。由第二段中的“ourplanetiswarmingasaresultofthegreenhousegases”和“Iftheplanetbecomeswarmer...wouldcausewidespreadfloodingoflow-lyingcoastalareasandthreatenmanylargecities”可知,如果大气中的温室气体继续增加,地球将会变得更温暖,冰原开始融化,海平面将会上升,这会使得低洼的沿海地区洪水泛滥,甚至会威胁到很多大城市。

31.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.Ice sheets melt faster than floating ice.

B.The melting of floating ice isn’t damaging.

C.Sea ice melting will have disastrous effects.

D.Space research contributes to climate changes.

答案C

解析推理判断题。由最后一段中的“Iftheicedisappears,Earthislikelytobecomewarmerandmajorclimatechangescouldoccur.Wildlifelivinginthepolarregionsmayalsobedestroyed”可知,地球上冰层的融化和消失将会带来灾难性的后果。

D

Like colorful corals,they rocked gently in the ocean current.Only these were not beautiful natural reefs grown over centuries.They were plastic bags,stuck to the Aegean Sea floor since a waste site slid into the water eight years ago.

A team of divers and environmentalists pulled thousands of plastic bags from the water near Greece’s Andros Island this month.The workers described what they found as a “gulf full of plastic corals”.

Seas polluted with plastic have become one of the most shocking signs of human damage to the planet.“It was a very scary thing to see,”said Arabella Ross,a volunteer diver with Aegean Rebreath.The group carries out underwater and coastal clean-ups.“It really shook me and I think it really shook everyone who saw it,”she added.

The Mediterranean is among the seas with the highest levels of plastic pollution in the world,the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) said in a report in June.Greece produces about 700,000 tons of plastic waste a year,or about 68 kilos per person.About 11,500 tons enter its seas every year.Almost 70% of that returns to the Greek coast,one of the longest in the world.The sea pollution off Andros is thought to date back to 2011,when heavy rain caused a waste site to collapse.Most of the waste fell into the sea.

Aegean Rebreath divers removed blue,black and yellow plastic bags caught between reefs and among fish.It was “like the paradise of the Caribbean Sea,where you find coral reefs everywhere of every color.It was the exact same thing,but instead of corals it was bags,”diver Arabella Ross said.

The team managed to remove only a small part of the plastic waste they found.They also pulled up 300 kilograms of old fishing traps—known as “ghost nets”—from Andros.In a separate operation in June off Salamina,a small island near Athens,they removed two tons.

“If people are wondering where their rubbish ends up,we see it each time we go into the water,”Ross said.

【语篇解读】不久前,潜水员发现在希腊安德罗斯岛附近的爱琴海海域积累了大量的塑料垃圾。从远处望去,潜水员仿佛看到了一个色彩缤纷、随着洋流缓缓流动的海底世界。然而,在希腊安德罗斯岛的海床上,人们并没有发现任何植物——取而代之的是数万吨的塑料废物,在这里堆积如山,形成了一种“珊瑚礁”。

32.What does the underlined word“it”(Para.3) most probably refer to?

A.The Aegean Sea.

B.Plastic pollution.

C.The volunteer group.

D.The waste site.

答案B

解析代词指代题。根据上文的“Seaspollutedwithplastichavebecomeoneofthemostshockingsignsofhumandamagetotheplanet.”可知,此处的it指的是上文提到的塑料污染。

33.What is believed to be the start of the pollution off Andros?

A.Collapse of a waste site.

B.Extremely bad weather.

C.Waste thrown away by tourists.

D.Plastic waste produced by the Greeks.

答案A

解析细节理解题。根据第四段的“TheseapollutionoffAndrosisthoughttodatebackto2011,whenheavyraincausedawastesitetocollapse.Mostofthewastefellintothesea.”可知,污染的开始是垃圾场的坍塌。

34.Where does the rubbish finally end up according to Ross?

A.The oceans.

B.In the fields.

C.In the rubbish sites.

D.The waste treatment factories.

答案A

解析推理判断题。根据Ross所说的话“Ifpeoplearewonderingwheretheirrubbishendsup,weseeiteachtimewegointothewater”可知,垃圾最终进入了海里。

35.What could be the best title for the passage?

A.Gulf Of Plastic Corals’ Found in Aegean Sea

B.The Paradise Lies in the Caribbean Sea

C.Coral Reefs Are Full of Every Color

D.Water Pollution Is Very Serious

答案A

解析主旨大意题。通读全文可知,潜水员在水下仿佛看到了一个色彩缤纷、随着洋流缓缓流动的海底世界。但是,在希腊安德罗斯岛的海床上,人们并没有发现任何植物——取而代之的是数万吨的塑料废物,在这里堆积如山,形成了一种“珊瑚礁”。由此可知,A项可作为本文的标题。

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Our planet is always changing and its systems are constantly working together to keep a kind of balance.　36　. 

All living things are connected to each other in ecosystems by food chains and food webs.　37　.Herbivores (species that don’t eat meat) get energy by eating plants.Carnivores (species that eat meat) get energy by eating herbivores.This is how energy flows through all ecosystems—starting from the sun. 

　38　,the survival of the entire system,along with every living thing that depends on it for survival,hangs in the balance.For example,if someone decides to spray a poisonous pesticide on plants to keep bugs from eating them,then lizards may accidentally take in that poison when they eat the plants and cats may be poisoned,too,when they catch and eat the lizards.　39　.Rats carry diseases that are even more dangerous for humans. 

　40　.If the eruption is very big,it could do a lot of damage besides killing thousands of people.A volcanic eruption spreads huge amounts of ash and gases into the atmosphere and around the globe,which could cause temperatures worldwide to fall.And when temperatures change dramatically like this,it affects crop patterns and could lead to massive food shortages. 

A.Plants get energy from the sun

B.Another example is when a volcano erupts

C.When any one part of an ecosystem chain breaks

D.If we don’t take measures to protect our environment

E.With no cats around,the rat population could explode

F.All forms of life depend on this balance for their existence

G.These gases help keep the world from being too hot or too cold

答案与解析

【语篇解读】我们的星球总是在变化,它的系统总是在一起工作以保持某种平衡。当生态链的任何一部分断裂时,整个生态系统就会受到威胁。

36.F　上文提到“我们的星球总是在变化,它的系统总是在一起工作以保持某种平衡”,F项“所有的生命形式为了生存都依赖于这种平衡”可承接上文。

37.A　上文提到“所有生物都通过食物链和食物网相互连接在生态系统中”,下文应是举例说明,A项便是举例说明。

38.C　根据下文所提到的内容来看,所填的句子是当生态链的任何一部分断裂时所发生的状况,所以选C项。

39.E　上文提到猫,下文提到老鼠。所以所填的是承接上下文的句子,E项“没有猫,老鼠就会泛滥”可承接上下文。

40.B　根据“Iftheeruptionisverybig...”可知,此处是以火山爆发为例子,所以选B项。

第三部分　语言运用(共两节,满分30分)

第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)

Jason knew he wouldn’t have long to live.He could 　43　 it,deep inside.Seeing his grandmother crying after talking with the doctor 　44　 it.His time had come.He didn’t 　45　 his visitors,though. 

Once Martha left,he 　46　 a page off his notebook and wrote: “I know I messed up (陷入困境) and nobody likes me.I hope to have a second 　47　.I can prove what a good friend I can be.” 

He 　48　 a map showing the way from the church to the hospital,walked to the window,and let the balloon fly away,carrying his 　49　 into the sky.The balloon was heading straight to a telephone pole,but a gentle 　50　 blew it away just in time.Soon it disappeared out of 　51　. 

The next day,a girl he had 　52　 met before came to visit him.“I find the balloon,” she said.“You are lonely?” He just nodded his head,too 　53　 to talk.“I am lonely too.My family come from Afghanistan and I can’t speak English well.” She smiled.“I bring a gift to you.” She handed him a box of 　54　. 

Normally,he would have made fun of her 　55　 English and her long,brown robe (长袍),but he knew better.He smiled and offered her the first chocolate. 

【语篇解读】一只从医院飞出的紫气球让即将走向生命尽头的男孩Jason和阿富汗女孩建立起了让人感动的友谊。

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

What makes the sea turn red and causes thousands of fish to die?As far back as anyone could remember,the blame was placed on the “red tides”.In 1947,scientists finally connected the red tides with a microscopic sea organism(有机体)　56　(call) the dinoflagellate. 

The dinoflagellate (腰鞭毛虫) is so tiny 　57　 6,000 of these organisms may be contained in 　58　 single drop of water.It stands on the borderline between plant and animal in its classification.It produces its own food,as plants do.But it moves 　59　(free) and eats other organisms,as animals do. 

Dinoflagellates are normally only one of the many kinds of organisms found in plankton.Plankton is the name given to all very small 　60　(form) of sea life.However,when the air and water 　61　(be) calm and warm,dinoflagellates multiply with 　62　(amaze) speed.The surface of the water appears 　63　(cover) with a red carpet. 

The dinoflagellates give off a poison.Many fish die.Their bodies are washed up on the beach.Beaches are not fit 　64　 any use.Fish that are not killed may become 　65　 (poison) to animals or people who eat them.Commercial fishing comes to a stop. 

答案与解析

【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了微小的海洋生物腰鞭毛虫并阐述了其对海洋产生的影响。

56.called　考查非谓语动词。根据句子结构可知,设空处需用非谓语动词;organism和call构成被动关系,故用过去分词作后置定语。

57.that　考查连词。根据句子结构可知,设空处引导状语从句;so+adj./adv.+that...表示“如此……以至于……”,故填that。

58.a　考查冠词。根据句子结构可知,设空处需用冠词修饰名词drop,由于single以辅音音素开头,故填a。adropofwater“一滴水”。

59.freely　考查副词。设空处修饰动词,故用其副词形式。

60.forms　考查名词复数。根据设空处前的all可知填forms。

61.are　考查主谓一致。全文时态为一般现在时,设空处也需用一般现在时;and连接两个表示不同意义的名词air和water作主语,谓语动词需用复数形式,故填are。

62.amazing　考查形容词。设空处修饰名词speed,故用其形容词形式,表示“令人惊奇的”,所以填amazing。

63.tobecovered　考查非谓语动词。appeartodosth“似乎要做某事”;Thesurfaceofthewater和cover之间构成被动关系。故填tobecovered。

64.for　考查介词。befitfor...为固定词组,表示“适合……”。

65.poisonous　考查形容词。become是系动词,设空处需用其形容词形式作表语,所以填poisonous。

Family problems are a universal phenomenon,and they can always cause people pain,especially around family-centered times,like holidays.However,there are ways to solve the problems.Life is too short to waste.How a person approaches the family members and what he says can make a big difference.

If the family members are arguing,waiting until everyone calms down can help deal with the argument.A person shouldn’t discuss the family problem when he is still feeling upset or emotional.If he waits even a single night,the intensity(强度) of the emotion is likely to calm down somewhat,even if he is still unhappy.So it is advised that he should wait rather than react emotionally.If he takes a step back and gives himself some time to think before dealing with the problem,he will deal with it wisely.

There are lots of people who want to send off a text or an email and wish they could take things back.Actually,the tone(语气) can be easily misunderstood by electronic communication.The man who sends off a text message or email might not think he sounds angry to the person receiving it.Instead of sending off a text,pick up the telephone,or better yet,arrange in-person communication.Electronic communication means people lose the true meaning of body language,which can convey feelings and reduce the sting(刺痛) of a painful conversation.

As the saying goes,“Blood is thicker than water.” People can choose their friends,but not their family.You might be able to cut family members out,but it could cause you more pain down the road.Understanding that family members have faults,but they can still love their families,is the first step towards dealing with problems.Accept your own faults,too.
