B.Achieved.C.Scored. D.Reached.答案A解析詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第三段可知,今年夏天,由于全球氣溫總體上升,北半球和歐洲自身不斷受到創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄和接近紀(jì)錄氣溫的炙烤。因此,畫線詞的意思是“燒傷;燒焦”。5.Whatdoesthephotoshowaccordingtotheauthor?A.Scandinavianfolksliketoswiminariver.B.Reindeerhaveadaptedtothecoldclimate.C.Theicetherehastotallybeenmeltedintowater.D.ThetemperatureoftheArcticCirclenowishigh.答案D解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段可知,喜冷的食草動(dòng)物在水里涼快,證明了北極圈開始變熱。因此,這張照片表明現(xiàn)在北極圈的溫度很高。6.WhatcanwelearnfromProfessorDerocher’swords?A.Maybebearswilldieoutinthenearfuture.B.Climatechangeisthreateningpolarbears.C.Heisworriedabouttheshrinkingoftheseaice.D.Headvisespeopletodosomethingtoimprovethecondition.答案B解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段可知,氣候變暖使得北極熊賴以生存的冰面減少,致使北極熊面臨滅絕的危險(xiǎn)。因此,從德羅徹教授的話中可以得知,氣候變化正威脅著北極熊(的生命安全)。7.Wheremayyoufindthisarticle?A.Inafashionmagazine.B.Inanewsreport.C.Inageographytextbook.D.Inatravelhandbook.答案B解析文章出處題。根據(jù)第一段可知,這篇文章是報(bào)道上周北極圈溫度達(dá)到32攝氏度的新聞。因此,本文不可能出現(xiàn)在時(shí)尚雜志、地理教科書或旅游手冊(cè)中,它最有可能出現(xiàn)在新聞報(bào)道中。SectionBLearningAboutLanguage【基礎(chǔ)夯實(shí)】Ⅰ.選詞填空pleasant,peak,duration,breath,border,enrol1.Thepackageincludescyclehirefortheofyourholiday.

答案與解析【語(yǔ)篇解讀】這是一篇說明文,說明了一些野生動(dòng)物進(jìn)入城市中尋找食物的現(xiàn)象。1.in考查介詞。表示“在冬天”,要用inwinter。2.found考查動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)。根據(jù)下文并列謂語(yǔ)started可知應(yīng)用一般過去時(shí),故填found。3.Luckily考查副詞。所填的詞修飾整個(gè)句子,所以用副詞形式。4.what考查疑問代詞。該句中缺主語(yǔ),故填what。短語(yǔ)whathappens“發(fā)生什么事”。5.tosee考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。此處it為形式主語(yǔ)。固定句式itisunusualtodosth“做某事是不尋常的”。6.hungry考查形容詞。根據(jù)上文are可知,應(yīng)填形容詞作表語(yǔ),故填hungry。7.teeth考查名詞的數(shù)。tooth為可數(shù)名詞,前面沒有冠詞故應(yīng)用復(fù)數(shù)形式。故填teeth。8.Their考查代詞。job為名詞,需要形容詞性物主代詞修飾,故填Their。9.and考查連詞。根據(jù)句意可知,上下文為承接關(guān)系,故填and。10.entering考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。stopsbdoingsth“阻止某人做某事”。Ⅵ.概要寫作閱讀下面短文,根據(jù)其內(nèi)容寫一篇60詞左右的內(nèi)容概要。Wealreadyknowthattheunderwaterworldisanythingbutsilent.Itisfullofnaturalsoundsproducedbyanimalsandbythemotionoftheatmosphereandwater.Buttoday’sresearchersareincreasinglyconcernedabouttheman-madenoisesunderthewater.Theyareconfusingandevenkillingfish,whalesandothermarineanimals.Althoughhearingisimportanttoallanimals,thespecialqualitiesoftheunderseaworldemphasizetheuseofsound.Underwatersoundallowsmarineanimalstogatherinformationandcommunicateatgreatdistancesandfromalldirections.Loudunderwaternoisescancausedamagetotheirhearing.Andnowadaysit’sbecomingtoomuchformarinewildlife.Evidenceshowsthatwhaleswillswimhundredsofmiles,rapidlychangetheirdepth,andevenbeachthemselvestogetawayfromthesoundsofsonar.Youmightthinklowernoises,typicallycausedbyshippingorconstruction,donotposeathreattomarineanimals.Infact,whiletheymaynotkilltheanimalsdirectly,theycandisturbtheirabilitytolocatefood,findmatesandavoidpredators(掠食動(dòng)物).Scientistslookedattheeffectsofnoisefromsmallmotorboatsoncoral-reeffishattheGreatBarrierReefinAustralia.Inthelab,thefishhadbeentrainedtorecognizethesmellofthreecommonpredatorsasathreat.Somefishweretrainedinthepresenceofboatnoise,whiletheothershadtrainingwiththenaturalsoundsoftheocean.Itturnedoutthatthefirstgroupshowednofrightreactionswhenexposedtothepredator.However,theothergroupwasscared.Andundertheinfluenceofunderwaternoiseonthisgroup,only20percentoffishsurvived,comparedtoalmost70percentofunexposedfish.Humansrelyontheoceanforitsnaturalresourcesandbiodiversity.Theoceanalsoplaysanimportantroleinregulating(調(diào)節(jié))temperatures.AsCousteausaid,“Formostofhistory,manhashadtofightnaturetosurvive;inthiscenturyheisbeginningtorealizethat,inordertosurvive,hemustprotectit.”____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________參考范文Althoughunderwaterworldisnotsilent,man-madesoundisdoinggreatharmtomarineanimals.(要點(diǎn)1)Importantasunderwatersoundistoanimalsthere,loudnoisesintheseathreatentheirnormallife.(要點(diǎn)2)Accordingtoscientists’research,thesurvivalrateoffishdropssharplyundertheinfluenceofnoise,whetherloudornot.(要點(diǎn)3)Thus,withthebenefitsofoceantotheenvironmentandtemperature,peoplemustprotectitratherthanfightit.(要點(diǎn)4)SectionDUsingLanguage(Ⅱ)&AssessingYourProgress【基礎(chǔ)夯實(shí)】Ⅰ.單句語(yǔ)法填空1.Tomy(astonish),hehasmadesuchrapidprogressinEnglishthisterm.
