解+析|細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一句可知，這些紀(jì)念碑都有自己鮮為人知的秘密。

22.Whichofthefourhastheeasiestaccess?

A.Disneyland.

B.EiffelTower.

C.StatueofLiberty.

D.EmpireStateBuilding.

gg]A

解+析|推理判斷題。根據(jù)四個(gè)部分描述可知，帝國(guó)大廈未曾開(kāi)放過(guò);埃菲爾鐵塔是最近才對(duì)公眾

開(kāi)放的；自由女神像從1916年之后不再對(duì)公眾開(kāi)放，而迪斯尼樂(lè)園一直都是開(kāi)放的。

23.Whichcanbeusedtoreplacetheunderlinedword“exclusive“inthelastparagraph?

A.Attractive.B.Expensive.

C.Wonderful.D.Beautiful.

H]B

解+稠詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)最后一部分可知，要想在迪斯尼樂(lè)園的高級(jí)餐廳吃飯，需要先交給俱樂(lè)

部2.5萬(wàn)美元，外加1.2萬(wàn)美元的年費(fèi)，所以在此吃飯消費(fèi)很高。

【語(yǔ)篇解讀】本文是一篇記敘文。一次搭乘直升機(jī)飛行的經(jīng)歷使FawnSharp認(rèn)識(shí)到了冰

川融化的嚴(yán)重性，于是JenniferWrenAlkinson給學(xué)生開(kāi)設(shè)了課程，教學(xué)生如何面對(duì)氣候變化，她的

課程讓很多學(xué)生關(guān)注環(huán)境問(wèn)題。

24.WhydidtheauthormentionthecaseofFawnShaip?

A.TolayabasisforFawnSharp'sfurtherresearch.

B.ToproveFawnSharp'sworkissimilartoAtkinson's.

C.Toleadintotheissueoflosscausedbyclimatechange.

D.ToshowscientistsJconcernabouttheMountAndersonglacier.

解+而推理判斷題。通讀第一段可知,FawnSharp在一次直升機(jī)飛行中意識(shí)到氣候變化導(dǎo)致了冰

川融化。由此可推知,作者在第一段中提及FawnSharp的例子是為了引出下文氣候變化導(dǎo)致環(huán)

境問(wèn)題的話(huà)題，故選C項(xiàng)。

25.What'sthemainpurposeofAtkinsonsclass?

A.Toexplorehowdifferentpeopledealwithclimatechange.

B.Togetstudentsmoreconcernedabouttheenvironmentalissue.

C.TofindsolutionstotheenvironmentalissueofOlympicMountains.

D.Toteachstudentshowtoconductresearchaboutenvironment.

gm]B

解+析|推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段內(nèi)容可知，她給學(xué)生講環(huán)境研究的情感壓力，她讓她的24個(gè)學(xué)生

面對(duì)沒(méi)有簡(jiǎn)單的解決方法這一事實(shí)。由此可知,Alkinson的課程目的是讓學(xué)生們更加關(guān)注環(huán)境

問(wèn)題，故選B項(xiàng)。

26.Whichofthefollowingwordsbestexplainsuintractable^^underlinedinParagraph3?

A.Simple.B.Difficult.

C.c-o/mmon.D.Interesting.

51]B

解;而詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)上文可知,Atkinson用美洲土著部落、科學(xué)家以及積極分子們的經(jīng)歷讓

她的24個(gè)學(xué)生面對(duì)沒(méi)有簡(jiǎn)單的解決方法這個(gè)事實(shí)，結(jié)合該句句意可知，這是一個(gè)如此困難的問(wèn)

題以至于學(xué)生們將用他們的余生來(lái)解決它，故選B項(xiàng)。

27.HowdidAtkinson;sclassinfluenceDillon?

A.Itmadehimworkasapart-timevolunteerforrestorationprojects.

C.Itencouragedhimtobemoreinvolvedinenvironmentalprotection.

解+析]推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段的

ttSixmonthsintothework...discusshisconcemsaboutachangingclimate.,,"5r知,Dillon在環(huán)保組織做了

六個(gè)月志愿者之后，他認(rèn)為在Atkinson的課堂上他可以討論他對(duì)氣候變化的擔(dān)憂(yōu)。由此可推

知,Atkinson的課程鼓勵(lì)Dillon參與環(huán)境保護(hù)，故選C項(xiàng)。

“Iturgedpeopletoexploreandchoosesupporlableallernativeslikepaperorclothbags''和

“whichmadeuplO%ofaHofthewaste”可知,disposableplastic造成了大量資源浪費(fèi)，所以“一次性的”

解+析I細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段內(nèi)容可知,這個(gè)令人擔(dān)憂(yōu)的結(jié)果就是山鳥(niǎo)的數(shù)量下降了。

33.Whydidtheliveablehabitatsofthespeciesreduce?

A.Airpollutions.
