28、决问题的两种办法,一种是使用空调,但这种办法不是长久之计;另外一种就是在建筑上使用竹子屋顶型的花塔,“InParisthelocalauthoritiesareencouragingarchitectstodesignnewtypesofbuildingssuchasthebuildingFlowerTower,”所以A、B、D三项均正确,而C项forbidding正好与文章要表达的意思相反,故选C项。3.D推理判断题。作者在文章首段提到全球变暖会造成灾难,然后列举了伦敦、巴黎和上海几个大城市所面临的潜在的自然灾害问题。由此可知,作者是想警告人们逐渐增加的自然灾害,故选D项。4.A标题归纳题。
29、全文描述了世界各大城市(London,Paris,Shanghai)将会面临的各种自然灾害,故“BigCitiesFacingBigDisasters”适合做标题,故选A项。五、1.Athrough“通过”。“我”开车经过一个当地乡村。2.Cdestination“目的地”。这句话形容的是上文中作者开车的状态,表明头脑里没有目的地,随便走。3.Crun“跑”。前文说到天气晴朗,所以“动物也自由地在森林里跑”。4.Dsuddenly“突然”。前一段描述的是惬意无压力的场面,这里引入其他事件,突然,“我”遇到了一辆车。故选D项。5.Bwatch“看到”。句意:我看到一个老妇人从车里出来并走向沟渠。
30、6.B句意:我在纳闷她发生了什么。故选B项。7.Aconcerned“关心的”。上一句说到“我”对老妇人可能遇到的麻烦的猜测,所以这里,“我”很关心(或者担忧)她。8.Bassistance“帮助”。“我”想看看是否能对老妇人有任何帮助。故选B项。9.Dintroduce“介绍”。首先,“我”要向老妇人做自我介绍。故选D项。10.Ctell“告诉”。她告诉“我”,她刚停下来是为了捡垃圾。故选C项。11.Crubbish“垃圾”。结合下文的“howmuchrubbish”可知,她停下来是为了捡垃圾,故选C项。12.Dthoughtlessly“不假思索地”。老妇人捡的是从路过的车中随意抛掷出的垃
31、圾。这种行为的产生是因为扔垃圾的人对环境污染的后果没有思考,故选D项。13.Dinvite“邀请”。根据下文可知,此处应该是“她邀请我看看她的车里”。故选D项。14.Bcollect“收集”。根据原文可知,老妇人的车里已经堆集了很多垃圾。故选B项。15.Alocal“当地的”。“我”告诉老妇人,我为当地报纸写文章。故选A项。16.Chesitation“犹豫”。老妇人毫不犹豫地拒绝了。withouthesitation“毫不犹豫”。17.Bthankful“感激的”。此处是“我”给读者的建议,也是本文的写作目的:下次开车外出时,你应当感谢周围这些地球环境的保护者们。18.Aprotector“保护者”。结合上文可知,老妇人捡垃圾是为了保护环境。19.Dpart“部分”。“littlepartof”为常见搭配,此处意为:花点时间为保持道路的整洁做一点儿小贡献。20.Acontribute“贡献”。注意此处是contributetodoingsth的结构,再结合上文“为保护我们的美丽家园做点贡献”可知,A项符合语境。六、1.where2.offered3.going4.at5.larger6.regularly7.our8.children9.sewn10.that
