41、会给我们造成的影响。5答案与解析：D细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句可知，人们过去认为空气污染只存在于工厂林立的工业区和交通拥挤的大城市。故答案选D。6答案与解析：B推理判断题。根据第二段倒数第二句中的“greenhouse effect”和最后一句中的“If this view is correct”可知，作者谈到温室效应时提出了一种假设，也就是作者并不确定它的发生。故答案选B。7答案与解析：A词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句及其前一句可知，现在我们还不能确切地知道这两种可能情况(全球变暖和全球变冷)中的哪一种会发生。如果我们足够幸运的话，这两种趋势会相互抵消，全球温度依然会保持不变。由此可推测
42、，offset应为“补偿，抵消”之意，故答案选A。8答案与解析：B细节理解题。根据第三段第二句可知，温度降低几度的话，就会出现类似冰川时代的现象，农业(生产)将会变得很困难甚至是不可能进行了。故答案选B。.七选五【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了几种有益的课堂活动寓教于乐的课堂活动有助于学生的学习和成长。1答案与解析：F该空是总起段落的倒数第二句，本段开头两句总述课堂活动的好处，最后一句是具体的好处，因此空格句应起承上启下的作用，F项符合文意。2答案与解析：E由小标题可知，该段介绍Debate这种课堂活动，根据空格前“Divide the class into two groups，an
43、d make one group argue in favor of the topic and the other against it.”和空格后介绍的好处可知，空格句应属于具体操作方式的一部分，E项符合文意。3答案与解析：C本段主要介绍了历史活动。空格前讲这种活动的缺点是数据较多，空格后是具体做法，空格句应是克服缺点的方法，因此C项符合文意。4答案与解析：G空格句位于该段最后一句，根据空格前“Then ask the students to open their notes and arrange themselves according to the dates of the even
44、ts in the notes.”可知，G项符合文意。5答案与解析：B空格句位于该段的倒数第二句，属于承前启后的句子，联系空格前后可知B项符合文意。.语法填空【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了珠穆朗玛峰的污染情况以及现在采取的应对污染的措施和取得的进步。1答案与解析：successfully考查副词。分析句子结构可知，空前的have和空后的climbed构成谓语，此处应用副词来修饰，故填successfully。2答案与解析：waiting考查动名词。此处介词about之后应用动名词形式，故填waiting。3答案与解析：crowds考查名词的单复数。根据空前的形容词dangerou
