23、ittheheadlineswithaheartwarmingstory”可知,位于最易着火的新南威尔士州的一家动物园以一则暖心的故事成为新闻焦点。故选C。2答案与解析:B考查细节理解。根据第六段中的“notasingleanimalislost”可知,B选项“没有一只动物失踪”正确。【干扰项分析】根据第五段“Whatsremarkableisthatasthesmalleronesneededextrashelter, Staplesdecidedtotakethemtohisownhouse”可知,该公园没有用来应对突发事件的额外的避难所,所以Staples才决定把较小的动物带回家,故D选
24、项不对。3答案与解析:B考查推理判断。根据第五段内容可知,因为较小的动物需要额外的避难所,Staples就决定把它们带回自己家,由此可推知,ChadStaples是体贴的,故B项正确。irresponsible“不负责任的”;selfish“自私的”;energetic“精力充沛的”。【技巧点拨】褒贬排除法。文章颂扬了动物园饲养员的事迹,而A、C两项是两个贬义词,首先排除,D选项与文章大意不符,故也排除。4答案与解析:D考查主旨大意。本文主要颂扬了Mogo野生动物园的饲养员在森林大火持续蔓延之际,将较大的动物们转移到安全的地方,将较小的动物带到自己家里,从而保护它们免遭大火侵害的英勇事迹,D项
25、最适合作文章标题。B语篇类型:说明文主题语境:人与自然环境保护科学家呼吁人们要正视地球面临的气候危机【语篇解读】文章讲述了针对当前气候变化的一份报告,科学家们认为当前地球气候已经明显处于一个紧急状态,人们需要马上行动起来,以保护地球以及减少对人类的负面影响。5答案与解析:D考查细节理解。根据第一段第四句“Itwarnsthattheworldwouldfaceuntoldhumansufferingifitdoesnotmakedeepandlastingshiftsinhumanactivitiesthatinfluenceclimatechange”可知,如果人们不停止引起气候变化的活动,
26、那么人们将遭受更多的痛苦或灾难,故选D项。6答案与解析:C考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Despite40yearsofglobalclimatenegotiations.wehavegenerallyconductedbusinessasusualandhavelargelyfailedtoaddressthisworryingsituation”可知,在过去的40年里,人们围绕气候变化展开了许多对话,但最终一切照常,人们并没有解决令人担忧的气候变化问题,故选C项。7答案与解析:C考查主旨大意。通读第三段内容可知,第三段介绍了科学家们提出的有关控制气候变化的方法,故选C项。8答案与解析:D考
27、查主旨大意。本文介绍了科学家的一份报告,科学家警告人们,地球的气候变化已经形成危机,人们需要立刻行动起来,应对气候变化。由此可知,D项的表述符合本文主题,故选D项。.七选五语篇类型:说明文主题语境:人与社会科学研究白天小憩与健康之间有一定的关联【语篇解读】一项有趣的研究表明,白天小憩和良好的健康之间有一定的关联。本文介绍了该研究的相关内容。1答案与解析:C本空是段尾句,承接上文表述的一项有趣的研究称发现了白天小憩与良好的健康之间有一定的关联。故C项与此处匹配。2答案与解析:B根据空后一句“Itwasalsogreaterforworkingmalesthanforthosewhohadreti
28、red”可知,选项B的结构和内容与之呼应,所以选B项。3答案与解析:E根据空前一句中的“thosestudieshaveoftenbeenflawed (有缺陷的)”,并结合空后一句“Theymayhavebenefitedmorefromnappingthanhealthyindividualsdo”可推知,此处应是具体说明其他研究的缺陷之处,故E项符合语境,承上启下。4答案与解析:A承接空前的问句可知,空处应是对空前的问句的回答,故A项符合语境,与下文相衔接。5答案与解析:G与前一句中的“itwashewhodidthepioneeringresearch”呼应可知,该空陈述的应是其研究的
29、相关内容,结合选项和上下文可知,选项G符合语境,所以选G项。.短文改错答案:OnMothersDay, Tomstoppedhiscaroutsideashop.Hewantedtoordersomeniceflowersandaskshoptodeliverthemtohismother.Hewasabouttoentertheshophesawalittlegirlcryingbytheroadside.Tomaskedherforwhathadhappened.Thegirlsaidshewantedtobuyaroseforhermother, hadnomoney.Hearingth
