4、兴趣。根据上文的While in the hospital, he read Adlbert Einsteins books可知,此处介绍过去发生的事情,所以需要用一般过去时。主语he和谓语动词become是主动关系。故填became。【2题详解】考查定语从句。句意:高中时,他的物理成绩从来没有名列前茅,但他先后就读于东京大学和罗切斯特大学,并在那里获得了博士学位。分析句子结构可知,此处为定语从句,先行词the University of Rochester在定语从句中作地点状语,所以用关系副词where引导非限制性定语从句。故填where。【3题详解】考查时态和语态。句意:最重要的是采取积极
5、的学习态度。分析句子结构可知,此空为主语从句的谓语动词。根据下文is以及句意可知,此处陈述客观事实,需要用一般现在时。在主语从句中,What作主语,所以谓语用单数。count表示“重要”时是不及物动词,没有被动。故填counts。B阅读下列短文,根据短文内容填空,在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词,在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。Zoos play an important role in the world for conservation and education.

8、是固定短语,故填in。【6题详解】考查定语从句。句意:许多其他动物在野外已经灭绝,只有饲养在动物园的动物才能生存。分析句子可知,空处引导一个定语从句,先行词是animals,关系词在从句中作主语,应用that或which引导,故填that/which。【7题详解】考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:即使是那些批评动物园的人也常常认识到,把物种保存在某个地方总比把它们全部丢掉要好,因为关在动物园里的动物受到保护,免受严重威胁。结合本句时态可知,空处也使用一般现在时,且主语animals和动词protect之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,主语是名词复数,故填are protected。C阅读下列短文,根

84、. Art in Greater Need during Climate ChangeB. The Relationship Between Society and ArtC. The Climate Clues Hidden in At HistoryD. The Best Ways to Change the World【答案】37. D 38. B 39. A 40. A【解析】【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了艺术在应对气候变化以及相关的经济危机和生态危机方面可以发挥什么作用。【37题详解】细节理解题。从题干关键词“Beethoven”,可以定位到文章第一段,根据第一段的第二至第四
85、句可知,人类学家和历史学家认为,社会的重大变化不是从艺术中产生的,而是从我们与环境的关系中产生的。然而,艺术家的努力,帮助我们塑造了社会适应这些变化及其后果的条件。想想贝多芬是如何标志着现代民主和初期工业革命的开始。因此可推断,作者提到贝多芬是想说明,艺术可以帮助人们更好的理解和认识世界。选项D意为“艺术是人们认识世界的桥梁”,与作者观点相符。故选D项。【38题详解】词句猜测题。选项含义:A. 开始创造;B. 开始处理;C. 试图记录;D. 对感兴趣;根据划线单词“come to grips with”所在句 “And artists have the opportunity and duty
86、 to translate the resulting tumultuous(动荡的)human experience into words, images,and music that help people not just to understand these events mentally, but also to come to grips with them willingly.(艺术家有机会也有义务把由此产生的混乱的人类经历转化成文字、图像和音乐,不仅有助于人们从心理上理解这些事件,而且有助于人们心甘情愿地处理这些事件)”可知,此处意为“处理”。故选B项。【39题详解】观点态度
87、题。根据第四段第二句“And artists have the opportunity and duty to translate the resulting tumultuous(动荡的)human experience into words, images,and music(艺术家有机会也有义务把由此产生的混乱的人类经历转化成文字、图像和音乐)”,以及作者在此处的用词“duty”可知,作者认为艺术家应该在作品中展示人类的经历。选项A “artists are expected to show human experience in works(艺术家被期望在作品中展示人类的经历)”,与作
88、者的观点相符。故选A项。【40题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章第一段可知,本文要讨论艺术在应对气候变化和相关经济和生态危机方面可能发挥什么作用。根据最后一段可知,有意义的艺术可以而且必须表达我们遇到的混乱,并帮助我们在心理和情感上处理它。要做到这一点,艺术家需要更深入地挖掘,更密切地观察,帮助观众将抽象的解释和预测与实际经验联系起来。也就是说,作者认为,艺术可以帮助人们更好的理解和应对较大的社会变化以及社会混乱。选项A “Art in Greater Need during Climate Change(气候变化期间更需要艺术)”中,“climate change”属于较大的变化,需要艺术帮助人们
89、更好的理解和应对,与作者在文中的观点一致。选项B“The Relationship Between Society and Art(社会和艺术的关系)”,在原文中并没有提到社会与艺术的关系,而是侧重于讲艺术的作用。选项C“The Climate Clues Hidden in Art History(藏在艺术史中的气候线索)”,在原文中没有提到。选项D“The Best Ways to Change the World(改变世界的最佳方式)”, 在原文中没有提到。故选A项。【点睛】做阅读理解题时,在文中出现大写字母的地方,通常是人名,地名,机构名等,以及文中出现引号,或者出现数字的地方,都是细

92、ople pay money for the food as well as the fuel needed to get groceries to the store or restaurant. However, producing foods also takes resources,for example,the water used to irritate (灌溉)crop fields or the fertilizer and chemicals used to promote plant growth and fight pests.Peter Scarborough at t
93、he University of Oxford in England decided to calculate some of the less-visible pollution created by food production. His team focused on greenhouse gases emitted through the production of our food, including carbon dioxide(CO2),methane(甲烷) and the nitrous oxide. All three gases are important. Whil
94、e CO2 is the greenhouse gas released in the highest volume, methane and nitrous oxide stay in the atmosphere far longer than CO2 does. As such, they are more powerful in warm the earths atmosphere.They used a computer to change the methane and nitrous-oxide emissions for each persons diet into its c
95、arbon dioxide “equivalent.”Thats the amount of CO2 needed to warm Earths atmosphere by the same amount as the methane or nitrous oxide would.As for the calculations of the carbon dioxide “equivalent(等量)”, in the 1990s, a survey asked65,000 adults what they typically had eaten throughout the past yea
96、r. Scarboroughs team fed those data into a computer and then included the amount of green house gases linked with producing nearly100 common foods. Then the computer matched those green house-gas amounts to the mix of foods each person had reported eating.It shows that the diet of someone whose meal
97、s included an average of 50 to 99 grams of meat each day would be responsible for the daily release of 5.6 kilograms of CO2 equivalent while those vegans had the lowest diet-linked greenhouse-gas emissions (2.9 kg of CO2 equivalent).Its authors conclude that reducing the intake of meat and other ani
98、mal-based products can make a valuable contribution to climate change reduction. And compared to meat, more plant-based food calories can be grown on more lands with less water and other resources. In places where many people are going hungry, raising meat may make it harder to ensure that everyone
99、gets enough to eat.41. What are the visible costs of food mentioned in the article?42. According to the author, why can our food choices affect the earths climate?43. Please underline the inappropriate part in the following statement and explain why. Plant-based food can adapt to more types of lands
100、 than meat, but they may have a higher requirement of water and other resources, which can be a disadvantage of such food.44.

104、肉减缓全球变暖。【41题详解】考查细节理解。根据第二段的“As to the visible costs, people pay money for the food as well as the fuel needed to get groceries to the store or restaurant.(至于可见的成本,人们花钱购买食物也购买把杂货送到商店或餐馆所需的燃料)”可知,可见的食品成本是指人们花钱买食物和把杂货送到商店或餐馆所需的燃料,故答案为People pay money for the food as well as the fuel needed to get groc
105、eries to the store or restaurant.【42题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段的“A team of researchers has found that meat production releases more climate-warming pollution than it does when producing fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains. Their calculations suggest that people could do a lot to slow global warming if they limi
106、ted how much meat they eat.( 一对研究人员发现,肉类生产比生产水果、蔬菜、坚果和谷物时释放出更多使气候变暖的污染。他们的计算表明,如果人们限制自己吃肉的数量,就可以减缓全球变暖)” 可知,肉类生产比生产水果、蔬菜、坚果和谷物会释放出更多使气候变暖的污染,如果人们限制吃肉,他们可以大大减缓全球变暖,因此推断我们对食物的选择影响地球上的气候。故答案为Because meat production releases more climate-warming pollution than that does to producing fruits, vegetables,
107、nuts and grains and people could do a lot to slow global warming if they limited how much meat they eat.【43题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段的“And compared to meat, more plant-based food calories can be grown on more lands with less water and other resources. In places where many people are going hungry, raising meat
108、 may make it harder to ensure that everyone gets enough to eat.(与肉类相比,更多的植物性食物可以在更多的土地上种植,而使用更少的水和其他资源,在许多人挨饿的地方,饲养肉类会更难确保每个人都吃到足够的东西。)”可知,but后的内容“they may have a higher requirement of water and other resources, which can be a disadvantage of such food(它们可能对水和其他资源的需求更高,这可能是这类食物的缺点)”是不合适的,因为植物性食物不仅可以
109、种植在更多的土地上,而且这种食物也使用更少的水和其他资源,而不是更多,这可能是这种食物的一个优势。故答案为:划线从but开始到最后。According to the text, the plant-based food can not only be grown on more lands, but such food will also use less water and other resources instead of more of that, which can be an advantage of such food.【44题详解】主观题。本题是开放性试题。考生可以根据自己的知
110、识,从节能省电等方面来回答问题。例如,用寿命更长的节能灯泡而不是普通灯泡。在不使用灯、电视和其他电器时,一定要关掉它们。另外通过减少空调的使用和没必要的制热来减少电的使用。故参考答案为I will try my best to save electricity, for example, using energy-efficient light bulbs instead of regular bulbs, which can last longer. Also, I will make sure to turn off lights, the TV, and other appliances
111、 when Im not using them.
