30、forts; the other half is needed for livelihoods and food security of farmers. As for the huge gap, they have called on the international community to act now through funding. However, by the end of February, just US$69 million had been promised.This most alarming crisis has developed and is worsenin

The distribution of plastic bags is supposed to stop in large Chinese cities by the end of the year, whereas smaller cities and rural areas have until 2022.Among other items are single-use straws and

Between 1950 and 2015, plastic production has risen from 2 million tons annually to 381 million worldwide, which has seen a rise in policies to reduce dependence on plastics.

68、2019年中国城镇居民平均家庭资产(资产)约为318万元。文章从四个方面对此进行了分析。其中北京居民约为893万元，居全国首位。21细节理解题。根据文章第二段Distribution of household assets of urban residents中的10.5% families have three or more sets of housing. 10.5%家庭拥有三套或三套以上住房。由此可知，超过两套及以上房产的家庭有10.5%。故选C。22细节理解题。根据第二段Distribution of household assets of urban residents中的 Top
69、 three regions with highest household assets in China in 2019 are Beijing, Shanghai and Jiangsu province. 2019年中国家庭资产最高的前三个地区是北京、上海和江苏省。由此可知，2019年中国家庭资产最高的地区是北京。故选A。23推理判断题。根据Household debt participation rate by householders education level中的图表可知，家庭债务参与率最高的是有masters degree（博士学位）的人，由此可推知，B项（Sun Yi, m
70、asters degree, 35 years old, working in a IT company）可能家庭债务率最高。故选B。 B【答案】24C 25B 26B【分析】 本文是新闻报道，文章讲述了由于冠状病毒的流行而对外出购物持谨慎态度，中国企业正在尝试“无接触”模式的新销售手段。 C【答案】27D 28A 29B 30C【分析】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了东非发生了严重的沙漠蝗虫灾害，预计在未来几周内蝗虫数量会急剧增加。粮食及农业组织呼吁国际社会立即筹集资金采取行动控制沙漠蝗虫灾害。27细节理解题。根据第一段中的“East Africa is experiencing the w
71、orst desert locust outbreak in decades. Climate events have accelerated breeding of the pest across the region”可知，东非正在经历几十年来最严重的沙漠蝗虫灾害，气候活动加速了该地区害虫的繁殖。即蝗虫危机在东非发生的原因是气候条件有利于蝗虫的繁殖。故选D。28推理判断题。根据第二段“Twenty million people in six of the eight East African countries are most affected by an ongoing desert
72、locust outbreak at risk of serious food insecurity. Considered among the most destructive of moving pests, an adult locust can consume 2g of plants per day, affecting crops and grasslands. A group typically holds 20 to 150 million locusts per square kilometer and can move hundreds of kilometers per
73、day, invading areas covering millions of square kilometers. An active group, therefore, can destroy crops and grasslands within a very short period of time.”可知，八个东非国家中有六个国家的2,000万人受持续不断的沙漠蝗虫的影响最大，面临严重的粮食不安全风险。蝗虫被认为是最具破坏力的害虫之一，一只成年蝗虫每天可以吃掉2克植物，从而影响农作物和草原。通常每平方公里的一个蝗虫群会有2000万至1.5亿只蝗虫，它们每天可以移动数百公里，入侵面积
74、达数百万平方公里的地区。因此，移动中的蝗虫群可以在很短的时间内破坏农作物和草原。因此判断出作者在第2段中列出这些数字是为了警告人们蝗虫会造成严重的损失及破坏。故选A。29推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“As for the huge gap, they have called on the international community to act now through funding. However, by the end of February, just US$69 million had been promised.”可知，关于资金的严重不足，粮食及农业组织呼吁国际社会立即筹款。然
75、而，到2月底，仅筹措到6900万美元。因此我们可以推断出需要更多资金来预防危机。故选B。30标题判断题。通读全文可知，文章讲述了东非发生了严重的沙漠蝗虫灾害，预计在未来几周内蝗虫数量会急剧增加。粮食及农业组织呼吁国际社会立即筹集资金采取行动控制沙漠蝗虫灾害。目前控制局势所需的资金变得非常难以实现，缺口是一个大问题。因此文章的最佳标题是C项（蝗灾危机的资金缺口）。故选C。D 【答案】31D 32B 33A 34D【分析】 本文是新闻报道。文章讲述了中国将和许多国家一起采取严格措施的控制一次性塑料制品来减少对环境的污染。31细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Among other items are s
76、ingle-use straws and many disposable（一次性的）items.”可知，其中还有一次性吸管和许多一次性物品。结合选项可知，一次性塑料板属于以上范畴。故选D。32细节理解题。根据第一段中的“China is set to join a growing number of countries that are taking strict measures on single-use plastic items，with multiple bans expected to come into force gradually within the next six ye
77、ars.”和第二段中的“The distribution of plastic bags is supposed to stop in large Chinese cities by the end of the year，whereas smaller cities and rural areas have until 2022.”可知，中国将加入越来越多的对一次性塑料制品采取严格措施的国家行列中，并有望在未来六年内逐步实施多项禁令。预计到今年年底，塑料袋的使用将在中国大城市停止，而较小的城市和农村地区则要到2022年停止销售。即中国将逐步采取措施来执行新政策。故选B。33推理判断题。根据第
78、四段中的“industry representatives warned it would come at a huge financial cost .They should first find new jobs for the plastic factory workers and then ban the bags.可知，行业代表警告称这将付出巨大的财务代价，政府应该首先为塑料工厂的工人找到新工作，然后禁止购物袋的生产。因此Nazeer Abbasi很担心工人的生活。故选A。34推理判断题。通读全文可知，第一段讲述了“中国将加入越来越多的对一次性塑料制品采取严格措施的国家行列中”。接下
79、来文章的第二、第四、第五段介绍了中国、巴基斯坦和欧洲的限塑措施。因此作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍不同国家实行的对一次性塑料的禁令。故选D。E 【答案】35C 36D 37B 38A【分析】 本文为一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了英国无家可归的儿童增加的现象。35推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Life in B&B is horrible,” Will said, “Theres no room to do anything, even if Im reading my book, as Im still going to get annoyed by someone. Ive been told off
80、by someone for running in the small corridor. You cant do much. You cant play much. I dont get to play that often.” 可知，Will十分抱怨B&B里的生活。故选C项。36细节理解题。根据第一段中的The charity, which campaigns to end homelessness and bad housing, revealed that each day 183 children lose their home and 135, 000 children will
81、spend this Christmas in temporary accommodation. 可知，根据慈善机构的说法135000名儿童将在英国的临时住所度过这个圣诞节。故选D项。37词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段中的They are being uprooted from friends; living in cold, cramped B&Bs and going to bed at night scared by the sound of strangers outside. 推测该词是“令人震惊的”意思。故选B项。38主旨大意题。结合第一段中的Every eight minutes,
