If this view is correct and the worlds temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New Y
22、ork, Boston, Miami and New Orleans will be in water. Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earths temperaturea result that would be equally disastrous.

39、irds are flying to settle in Qinghai Lake, one of the highest inland lakes in China, thanks to the protection efforts of the local government.”以及下文可知，越来越多的鸟飞到青海湖栖息一方面是由于当地政府对环境保护所做出的努力，另一方面是因为那里有充足的食物来源，也就是说那里的环境越来越适合鸟类生存。2答案与解析：B细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The two islands have plenty of floating grass and variou
40、s fish, offering rich food sources to birds.”可知，两个岛上有丰富的水草与各种鱼类，为鸟类提供了丰富的食物。3答案与解析：D推理判断题。根据第四、五段及第一段中的“thanks to the protection efforts of the local government”可知，政府已经采取了很多措施保护这片区域。4答案与解析：A推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲的是由于当地政府对环境的保护，越来越多的鸟来到青海湖。这篇文章很有可能出现在报纸上，是一篇新闻报道。B【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了空气污染可能会给我们造成的影响。5答案与解析：D细节理解
41、题。根据文章第一段第一句可知，人们过去认为空气污染只存在于工厂林立的工业区和交通拥挤的大城市。故答案选D。6答案与解析：B推理判断题。根据第二段倒数第二句中的“greenhouse effect”和最后一句中的“If this view is correct”可知，作者谈到温室效应时提出了一种假设，也就是作者并不确定它的发生。故答案选B。7答案与解析：A词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句及其前一句可知，现在我们还不能确切地知道这两种可能情况(全球变暖和全球变冷)中的哪一种会发生。如果我们足够幸运的话，这两种趋势会相互抵消，全球温度依然会保持不变。由此可推测，offset应为“补偿，抵消”之意，故答案
42、选A。8答案与解析：B细节理解题。根据第三段第二句可知，温度降低几度的话，就会出现类似冰川时代的现象，农业(生产)将会变得很困难甚至是不可能进行了。故答案选B。.七选五【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了几种有益的课堂活动寓教于乐的课堂活动有助于学生的学习和成长。1答案与解析：F该空是总起段落的倒数第二句，本段开头两句总述课堂活动的好处，最后一句是具体的好处，因此空格句应起承上启下的作用，F项符合文意。2答案与解析：E由小标题可知，该段介绍Debate这种课堂活动，根据空格前“Divide the class into two groups，and make one group argue
43、 in favor of the topic and the other against it.”和空格后介绍的好处可知，空格句应属于具体操作方式的一部分，E项符合文意。3答案与解析：C本段主要介绍了历史活动。空格前讲这种活动的缺点是数据较多，空格后是具体做法，空格句应是克服缺点的方法，因此C项符合文意。4答案与解析：G空格句位于该段最后一句，根据空格前“Then ask the students to open their notes and arrange themselves according to the dates of the events in the notes.”可知，G项
44、符合文意。5答案与解析：B空格句位于该段的倒数第二句，属于承前启后的句子，联系空格前后可知B项符合文意。.语法填空【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了珠穆朗玛峰的污染情况以及现在采取的应对污染的措施和取得的进步。1答案与解析：successfully考查副词。分析句子结构可知，空前的have和空后的climbed构成谓语，此处应用副词来修饰，故填successfully。2答案与解析：waiting考查动名词。此处介词about之后应用动名词形式，故填waiting。3答案与解析：crowds考查名词的单复数。根据空前的形容词dangerous可知，空处应用名词形式，crowd“人群”
45、为可数名词，且句子的谓语arent为复数形式，所以应用复数形式crowds。4答案与解析：to bring考查动词不定式。此处表示所有这些登山者都需要带着大量设备，故此处用need to do sth.“需要做某事”。5答案与解析：tallest考查形容词的最高级。根据句中的the worlds表述“全世界范围内的”可知，此处表示最高级的含义，故用形容词最高级tallest。6答案与解析：that考查名词性从句。分析句子结构并结合句意可知，此处引导表语从句，引导词在从句中不充当成分，仅起连接作用，故用that引导该从句。7答案与解析：have collected考查动词的时态和主谓一致。根据句中的时间状语So far可知，此处表示截止到现在已收集的垃圾数量，所以应用现在完成时；主语they为复数，故填have collected。8答案与解析：a考查冠词。此处表示“一个更高的目标”，表泛指，在文中第一次提到，且higher的发音以辅音音素开头，故用a。9答案与解析：in考查介词。根据句意可知，此处表示“在尼泊尔的首都”，故填in“在(某范围或空间内的)某一点”。10答案与解析：is考查时态和主谓一致。根据语境可知，此处为一般性描述，应用一般现在时；该句主语为“Part of the profit from sales”，此处表示单数概念，故填is。
