16、 be best described as AseriousBsimpleChumorousDindifferent【解析】推理判断题。综观全文，作者的写作风格诙谐幽默，妙趣横生，故选C。【答案】CC(2016江苏高考)El Nio，a Spanish term for “the Christ child，”was named by South American fishermen who noticed that the global weather pattern，which happens every two to seven years，reduced the amount of fi
17、shes caught around Christmas.El Nio sees warm water，collected over several years in the western Pacific，flow back eastwards when winds that normally blow westwards weaken，or sometimes the other way round.The weather effects，both good and bad，are felt in many places.Rich countries gain more from powe
18、rful Nios，on balance，than they lose.A study found that a strong Nio in 199798 helped Americas economy grow by $15 billion，partly because of better agricultural harvests：farmers in the Midwest gained from extra rain.The total rise in agricultural incomes in rich countries is greater than the fall in
19、poor ones.But in Indonesia extremely dry forests are in flames.A multiyear drought(干旱) in southeast Brazil is becoming worse.Though heavy rains brought about by El Nio may relieve the drought in California，they are likely to cause surface flooding and other disasters.The most recent powerful Nio，in

24、ses from disasters linked to El Nio，reducing their losses needs to be the priority.【语篇解读】本文是一篇科普说明文，介绍了厄尔尼诺现象的由来以及它对人们生活的影响。文章根据ODI对20年救灾资金的投向的分析，得出防灾重于救灾的结论，这也是作者写此文的目的。文章最后提出防止厄尔尼诺带来次生灾害的措施。7What can we learn about El Nio in Paragraph 1?AIt is named after a South American fisherman.BIt takes place
25、 almost every year all over the world.CIt forces fishermen to stop catching fish around Christmas.DIt sees the changes of water flow direction in the ocean.【解析】细节理解题。根据首段第一句.a Spanish term for “the Christ child，”.South American fishermen who noticed that the global weather pattern，which happens ever
26、y two to seven years.可知，“厄尔尼诺”是西班牙语的译音，原意是“神童”或“圣明之子”，是由很早就注意海洋与天气的关系的南美洲的渔民命名的，所以D项“它能体现大洋中潮流方向的改变”为正确选项。根据首段第一句可知南美洲的渔民发现了这一现象，而非“某个渔民”，故A项错误；B项是常识性错误；C项恰好与文章内容相反。【答案】D8What may El Nios bring about to the countries affected?AAgricultural harvests in rich countries fall.BDroughts become more harmfu
27、l than floods.CRich countries gains are greater than their losses.DPoor countries suffer less from droughts economically.【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二句Rich countries gain more from powerful Nios，on balance，than they lose.可知，富裕国家因厄尔尼诺而得到的东西要比它们失去的多。由此可锁定正确答案为C。【答案】C9The data provided by ODI in Paragraph 4 sugg
28、est that Amore investment should go to risk reductionBgovernments of poor countries need more aidCvictims of El Nio deserve more compensationDrecovery and reconstruction should come first【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第四段ODI提供的数据可知，在过去的20年中只有12%的救灾资金投入到提前预防方面，显然投入比例较小；再联系第四段最后一句.that a dollar spent on riskreduction
29、saves at least two on reconstruction.(在预防灾害方面花一美元就能在灾后重建方面至少省两美元)可知正确答案为A。【答案】A10What is the authors purpose in writing the passage?ATo introduce El Nio and its origin.BTo explain the consequences of El Nio.CTo show ways of fighting against El Nio.DTo urge people to prepare for El Nio.【解析】主旨大意题。文章从第
30、四段ODI的数据分析和第五段如何防止厄尔尼诺带来次生灾害这两个方面，鼓励人们以正向心态积极应对厄尔尼诺现象。A项与B项都属范围太小；C项偏离主题。厄尔尼诺本身是一种自然现象，人们可以研究如何利用它，而不是去违背它。【答案】D.阅读填句(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 【导学号：33100049】(2016山东聊城一中高二模拟)What will you do if you cant eat everything bought in the canteen? 11 According to a survey，w
