80、 into the cork at 45-degree angle until it is all the way in. Slowly twist the key around and up, until you are able to hold the cork and pull it out. Cheers!(生活中没有什么比发现自己有一瓶好酒喝，却没有开瓶器更令人沮丧的事情了。下次发生这种情况时，拿出你家钥匙，以45度角把其中一把插进软木塞里，直到它完全插进去。慢慢地旋转钥匙，直到你能够握住软木塞并拔出它。干杯！)”可推知，第四段讲述了如何用钥匙自制开瓶器，故B选项“Entertain

82、lettuce and fresh herbs.(延长水果和蔬菜寿命的最好方法是把一个抽屉放在湿度较低的地方，放那些容易腐烂的东西，比如桃子和西瓜。另一个抽屉放在高湿度的地方存放薄皮或多叶蔬菜，如生菜和新鲜香草)”可知，D选项“建议把食物分类，并在冰箱里分别储存”正确。故选D。【42题详解】主旨大意题。根据标题“6 Tricks to Improve Your Life(改善生活的6个技巧)”结合文章主要介绍了日常生活中六种问题的解决方法，可知，C选项“我们找到了一个解决办法”最适合完成文章标题。故选C。(C)Climate emergencies are a bit like buses.
83、You wait an age for one and then three come along at once. Parliaments in the UK and Ireland passed motions declaring a climate emergency in May. Last Monday, Canada followed suit.It isnt just parliament sounding the alarm. “This is a climate emergency,” said U.N. climate chief Patricia Espinosa for
84、 the first time last Tuesday. Hours earlier, James Bevan of Englands Environment Agency and Vince Cable, the leader of the U.K.s Liberal Democrats, also used the phrase.They join a cast of high-profile public figures already on the bus, from UK opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn to UN secretary-general
85、 Antonio Guterres. But how did the language of climate change campaigners jump to the lips of the establishment, and should we welcome its seemingly unstoppable adoption?Does this language make a difference? A day after Canadas climate emergency motion, it approved a 4.4 billion oil pipeline. Bristo
86、l City Council in the UK also declared a climate emergency, yet the citys mayor subsequently backed expansion of the local airport. Nothing changed on UK streets after parliament declared a climate emergency, notes former Labour Party leader Ed MIliband. “This silent response to an alarm that we our
87、selves have sounded symbolizes the challenge we face,” he wrote. _?_Mike Hulme at the University of Cambridge argues against the phrase because it implies “time-limited radical(激进的)” action could end the emergency, when climate change is actually a “new condition of human existence.” Some, HUlme inc
88、luded, also fear the language may cause counterproductive responses.Bur Roz Pidcock of communication organization Climate Outreach says a climate emergency “suggests a response that is very radical in scale and ambition, but not incautious or knee-jerk(本能的),” and certainly not a license for extreme
89、measure like geoengineering the climate.Despite the risk of phrase being devalued, Rebecca Willis at Lancaster University in the U.K. tells me it is still useful -and thats because it is true. As Spratt says, “You cannot solve a problem unless you name it for exactly what it is.” Getting politicians
90、 to adopt the language will also be crucial to holding them to tough policy decisions later, says Doug Parr of Greenpeace.The phrases widespread adoption isnt a problem. The lack of action equivalent to such language is. And that action is going to include a lot of silently gliding electric buses.43
91、. Which of the following sentences may best end Paragraph 4?A. We should strive to stimulate peoples initiative.B. The use of “climate emergency” highlights the challenge.C.

94、ess practical solutions are found.D. Less attention is paid to the phrase though it reflects a true story.46. What is the authors attitude towards the phrase “climate emergency”?A. NegativeB. OptimisticC. IndifferentD. Objective【答案】43. C 44. A 45. B 46. D【解析】这是一篇议论文。文章介绍了“气候突发事件”这个热门词汇。文章通过举例说明，有些人支
95、持这样说，也有一些人反对这样说。结论是现在各国都知道这个问题，但缺少解决问题的实际行动。【43题详解】推理判断题。由第四段“Bristol City Council in the UK also declared a climate emergency, yet the citys mayor subsequently backed expansion of the local airport. Nothing changed on UK streets after parliament declared a climate emergency”可知，英国布里斯托尔市议会宣布气候突发事件，但是
96、城市的市长随后支持扩建当地机场。在国会宣布气候突发事件后应该街上没有任何改变。举的例子都是有气候突发事件，但是人们没有采取任何措施，这使得宣布有气候突发事件没有意义。因此，空白处填”这种不匹配可能会让这个术语变得毫无意义”最合适。故选C项。【44题详解】推理判断题。由第五段“Mike Hulme at the University of Cambridge argues against the phrase because it implies “time-limited radical(激进的)” action could end the emergency, when climate ch
97、ange is actually a “new condition of human existence.”可知，剑桥大学的Mike Hulme反对这种表达，因为当气候变化实际上是一个人类存在的新条件时，它暗示的是有时间限制的激进行为可以结束突发事件；由第五段“HUlme included, also fear the language may cause counterproductive responses.”可知，HUlme总结说，担心这种语言会导致适得其反的反应。从Mike Hulme的话可以看出，他认为说提出climate change这个说法前，要充分考虑，不然可能适得其反。所A“
98、在行动前气候变化需要深思熟虑。”是对的。故选A项。【45题详解】细节理解题。由倒数第二段“Getting politicians to adopt the language will also be crucial to holding them to tough policy decisions later,”可知让政客们采纳这种语言，对让他们之后坚持严格的政策决定会很重要。由此可以看出，可以采取严厉的政策来处理气候变化问题，这个表达可以被用来支持气候突发事件这个说法。故选B项。【46题详解】推理判断题。由最后一段“The phrases widespread adoption isnt a
99、 problem. The lack of action equivalent to such language is.”可知，这个短语被广泛采用不是问题。缺乏与这样的表达对等的行动才是问题。由此可以看出，作者对其后突发事件这个表达的态度是有正面的也有否定的，是客观的（objective）。故选D项。Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below.

108、fornia town about four months ago.(大约四个月前，2019年野火季最大的大火烧毁了这个北加州小镇的边缘，草地和其他植被开始覆盖留下的火山灰)”以及后文“Unlike in other dangerous California blazes, including 2018s Camp Fire that destroyed the town of Paradise, first responders were able to focus entirely on the firefight rather than last-minute rescues.(不像其他
109、危险的加州大火，包括2018年摧毁天堂镇的营火，急救人员能够完全专注于救火，而不是最后一刻的救援)”可知，上文提到加州温莎遭遇大火，后文则提到这一地区急救人员应对火灾和其他地区急救人员救火的不同之处，可知本句是在说明该地区的消防员在该地所面临的一些挑战和困难，故C选项“该地区的消防员面临着不断变化的风向和狭窄蜿蜒的道路的挑战”符合语境，故选C。【48题详解】根据后文“The states wet winter months have become a critical time for officials and residents hoping to protect themselves f

111、活动，帮助企业和居民设计应急计划，可见当地的人都在为火灾做准备。故B选项“每个季节都有致命和毁灭性的野火在燃烧，加州的社区都在为最坏的情况做准备”符合语境，故选B。【49题详解】根据后文“In Northern California, the communities of Orinda, Moraga and Lafayette banded together to build a 19-mile fuel break meant to slow a disastrous blaze from spreading into neighborhoods from nearby hills.(在北
