69、 anticipate climatic changes in the future. Its simply a signal that something different is happening in that area.But in fact, the last high temperature reading was in the 19 range. These higher temperatures can cause ice and glaciers in Antarctic regions to melt. The Antarctic peninsula(半岛)-the lo
70、ng finger of land that stretches towards Argentina-is most dramatically affected. Scientists saw glaciers that have retreated by more than 100 meters in Discovery Bay where the snow melted in little more than a week, leaving dark exposed rock. This melted ice leads to a rise in sea levels that can t
71、hreaten the safety of coastal areas. Its believed to be behind an alarming decline of more than 50 percent in chinstrap penguin(帽带企鹅) colonies, which are dependent on sea ice.Like American writer Ernest Hemingway once said, The Earth is a fine place and worth fighting for.

C【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了南极气温创下历史新高，人们担心这个世界上最寒冷的地方会出现气候不稳定的情况。因此，我们要像美国作家海明威曾经说过的，“地球是一个美好的地方，值得我们为之奋斗”。我们应该尽我们所能帮助拯救我们的星球。【46题详解】细节理解题。根据第
77、二段的“On Feb 9, Brazilian researchers at Seymour Island reported a temperature of 20.75 on the icy continent of Antarctica.2月9日，巴西研究人员在西摩岛报告称，南极洲冰封大陆的温度为20.75。”可知，2月9日，巴西研究人员报告南极洲创下了20.75的高温纪录。故选B。【47题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段的“According to Brazilian soil scientist Carlos Schaefer, the temperature was documented
78、 during a 20-year-long research project. The focus of this project is to study the effect that climate change has on the permafrost(永久冻土)within the region. 据巴西土壤科学家卡洛斯舍费尔称，该温度是在一项长达20年的研究项目中记录的。该项目的重点是研究气候变化对区域内永久冻土的影响。”可知，这个长达20年的研究项目的主要目的是研究永久冻土是如何受到气候变化的影响的。故选D。【48题详解】词句猜测题。根据上文的“The Antarctic pe
79、ninsula(半岛)-the long finger of land that stretches towards Argentina-is most dramatically affected. 南极半岛延伸到阿根廷的狭长地带受到的影响最为显著。”可知，南极半岛受到的影响最大，结合下文的“in Discovery Bay where the snow melted in little more than a week, leaving dark exposed rock.在愉景湾，积雪在一周多一点的时间内融化，留下了黑暗的裸露岩石。”可知，科学家们科学家们发现冰川已经退缩了100多米，因此
80、，可推测出retreated意思为“后退”的意思。故选A。【49题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Its believed to be behind an alarming decline of more than 50 percent in chinstrap penguin(帽带企鹅) colonies, which are dependent on sea ice.人们认为，这是导致依赖海冰的帽带企鹅种群数量惊人地下降50%的原因。”可知，冰川融化可能导致企鹅的栖息地受到威胁，从而使企鹅的数量下降了。故选C。【50题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The Earth is a fin
81、e place and worth fighting for. We should do everything we can to help save our planet. ”可知，该段引用了海明威的名言“地球是一个美好的地方，值得我们为之奋斗。”紧接着提到我们应该尽我们所能帮助拯救我们的星球。由此可知，本段主要内容是倡议人们应该不遗余力地保护地球和环境。故选C。DAsk any readers who their favorite fictional character in a novel is and youll likely get a detailed explanation ab
82、out the beloved character that they admire. It might even sound like theyre talking about a person they know.In a study, researchers looked at the brains of a group of people over nine days. Half of the group read the novel Pompeii, and half didnt. After examining, researchers found the readers brai

D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍阅读小说的好处。阅读小说可以增强我们大脑的连通性，小说不仅仅是一种社会体验的模拟;这是一种社会体验。【51题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“After examining, researchers found the readers brains showed heightened connectivity (连通性) in some areas.(在检查之后，研究
93、人员发现，阅读者的大脑在某些区域显示出更强的连通性。)”由此可知，我们阅读小说可以增强我们大脑的连通性。故选C。【52题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中“. Increase of empathy is important for people because empathy is positively related to creativity, performance at work and cooperative behaviors. (同理心的增加对人们来说很重要，因为同理心与创造力、工作表现和合作行为呈正相关。)”可推断，读小说的人更有创新精神和合作意识。故选B。【53题详解】细节理解
94、题。根据倒数第二段“watching television programs or movies has been found to do just the opposite a reduced understanding of others and weaker cognitive (认知的) development overall. (研究发现，看电视节目或电影恰恰相反对他人的了解减少，整体认知发展较弱。)”可知，看电视或电影会大大降低你对他人的同情心。故选C。【54题详解】词义猜测题。根据最后一段第二句“And many readers believe that reading a no
95、vel is far better and more meaningful than watching any movie. (许多读者认为读小说比看电影好得多，也更有意义。)”由此推知，最后一段第一句“Maybe we should put more of a priority on novel-reading.（也许我们应该把阅读小说放在更重要的位置。）”中priority的意思是“优先，偏爱”。故选A。【55题详解】主旨大意题。根据全文内容特别是文章第三段“It has been suggested that people who read a lot of fiction become
96、 more empathic (移情的)”可知，文章介绍阅读小说的好处。阅读小说可以增强我们大脑的连通性，而看电视或电影会大大降低你对他人的同情心。也就是说阅读小说的人更容易产生同情心。所以“读小说的人有更多的情感”作为文章的标题最为合适。故选D。【点睛】考生做词义猜测题时，要利用上下文提供的情景和线索，进行合乎逻辑的综合分析进而推测词义，最常见的就是利用上下文语境、常识和语法关系推断词义。尤其要抓住所需推断词汇前后的内容。本题第4小题，根据最后一段第二句“And many readers believe that reading a novel is far better and more
97、meaningful than watching any movie. (许多读者认为读小说比看电影好得多，也更有意义。)”由此推知，最后一段第一句“Maybe we should put more of a priority on novel-reading.（也许我们应该把阅读小说放在更重要的位置。）”中priority的意思是“优先，偏爱”。第卷第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读表达阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。Ashley Powers mother bought a computer for her when s

And one day she thought, “If I had my own website, Id make it a really interesting site for teenagers.”（13岁时，她经常上网，但找不到青少年见面聊天的地方。有一天她想，“如果我有自己的网站，我会让它成为一个真正有趣的青少年网站）”可知本段主要告诉读者，Asley Power经常上网，但是没有供
107、青少年说话的网站，因此他想创办一个专门为青少年提供交朋友的网站。故答案为：Ashley wanted to create an interesting website for teenagers.【57题详解】考查词义猜测题。根据第一段提到Asley想创办一个专门青少年提供交友的网站，可知划线部分所在句子“So, when Ashley was sixteen, she launched her own website, called GooseHead.”意为：所以，当Asley16岁时，她创办了自己的网站，名为GooseHead。即划线词意为“创办，创立”。故答案为：Began./Star

Then Ashley, who lives in Los Angeles, was asked to write a book called GooseHead Guide to Life. （几年后，这个网站关闭了。后来，住在洛杉矶的阿什利被要求写一本书，名叫GooseHead Guide to Life.。） ”可知，网站关闭后，有人请Asley写了一本书。故答案为：She wrote a boo

If you were sixteen and you had your own company, youd be stressed, too!（我太高兴了。但在很多方面都很疯狂。我压力很大。我的意思是，我只有16岁-我甚至没有车！如果你16岁
110、有自己的公司，你也会有压力的！） ”可知，可知Asley既高兴又感觉压力很大。故答案为：She felt happy but stressed.【60题详解】开放性题目。根据文章最后一段的“Just be strong and have your dreams and work hard at them. And dont listen when people tell you that you cant do it, because I heard no a lot. Just keep going until you hear yes!”（要坚强，要有梦想，要为之努力。别听别人说你做不到，
111、因为我经常听到“不”。一直走，直到你听到是！”）”可知，Asley对成功的建议是要有梦想并为之奋斗，不管别人的看法。原因可以自己陈述，符合逻辑则可，但要注意字数。故答案为：I think being strong/having your dreams/working hard at your dreams/keeping on trying is the most important. Because only when we have a dream can we have a chance to succeed. 第二节：书面表达（满分25分）61. 假设你是李津，你的英国朋友Tom对你们
