【解析】

这是一篇说明文。联合国环境规划署呼吁人们加强对南极洲的保护。南极洲冰块的溶化不仅威胁着当地的野生动物,它会导致海平面上升,对沿海城市带来更大的灾难。是时候采取行动解决这一问题了。

1考查定语从句。句意:在422日,联合国环境规划署呼吁人们加强对南极洲的保护,它是位于世界最南部的一块陆地。这是一个非限制性定语从句,先行词Antarctica(南极洲)是一个地名,表示物,且先行词在从句中作主语,所以关系词应适用which。故填which

2考查名词的数。句意:科学家说气候变化与人类活动已经不断增加地导致了南极冰块大面积的融化。空格处单词作句子主语,由空格后的say可知,空格处应填名词的复数形式。故填Scientists

3考查副词。句意同上。空格处单词修饰动词led to,所以应用副词形式。故填increasingly

4考查介词。句意:冰块的消失不仅仅影响着那块区域像海豹与企鹅这样的野生动物,还造成了全球范围内海平面的上升。空格处单词与the area一起作定语修饰wildlife,所以填介词。“在……里”应使用介词in,故填in

5考查不定式。句意同上。“导致某物做(了)某事”应翻译为cause sth. to do sth.,使用不定式作宾语补足语。故填to rise

6考查形容词比较级。句意:这导致了对沿海城市更大的威胁。空格位于名词threat前,应填形容词。even作为副词,应修饰形容词比较级。故填bigger

7考查现在完成时的被动语态。句意:目前,这一形势已经变得更加严峻,因为它的在水域上修建的一些古老的房子正在慢慢下沉。由So far可知,这句话应使用现在完成时。This situationmake之间是被动关系,所以应使用被动语态。This situation为第三人称单数形式,所以谓语动词也应使用第三人称单数形式。故填has been made

8考查过去分词作定语。句意同上。its ancient houses(它的古老的房子)与build之间是被动关系,所以应使用过去分词作定语。故填built

9考查连词。句意:另外,盐水正在毁坏威尼斯有名的建筑与无价的艺术品。由both可知,这里使用的是both…and…的结构。故填and

10考查定冠词。句意:因此,是时候应该采取一些行动来解决这个严重的问题了。空格位于动词后,名词短语前,且problem使用的是名词的单数形式,所以空格处应填冠词。“serious problem(严重的问题)”就是指代上文中提到的“an even bigger threat to coastal cities”,所以应使用定冠词the修饰。故填the

【题目】 What we know of prebirth training makes all this attempt made by a mother to influence the character of her unborn child by studying poetryartor mathematics during pregnancy seem totally impossible. How could such extremely complex influences pass from the mother to the childThere is no connection between their nervous systems. Even the blood vessels of mother and child do not join directly. An emotional shock to the mother will affect her childbecause it changes the activity of her glands() and the chemistry of her blood. Any chemical change in the mother's blood will affect the child for better or worse. But we can not see how a looking for mathematics or poetic genius can be dissolved(溶解) in blood and produce a similar liking or genius in the child.

In our discussion of instincts(本能) we saw that there was reason to believe that whatever we inherit(继承) must be of some very simple sort rather than any complicated or very definite kind of behavior. It is certain that no one inherits a knowledge of mathematics. It may behoweverthat children inherit more or less of a rather general ability that we may call intelligence. If very intelligent children become deeply interested in mathematicsthey will probably make a success of that study.

As for musical abilityit may be that what is inherited is an especially sensitive eara special structure of the hands or the vocal(发声的) organs connections between nerves and muscles. If these factors are all organized around musicthe child may become a musician. The same factorsin other circumstancemight be organized about some other center of interest.

The rich emotional equipment might find expression in poetry. The capable fingers might develop skill in surgery. It is not the knowledge of music that is inheritedthen nor even the love of itbut a certain bodily structure that makes it comparatively easy to acquire musical knowledge and skill. Whether that ability shall be directed toward music or some other fields may be decided entirely by forces in the environment in which a child grows up.

1What can we learn from the first paragraph

A.Mothers' prebirth training is totally unlikely to influence the character of unborn children.

B.A pregnant mother needn't have prebirth training because of no nervous connection with her child.

C.A mother can't help her child become a talented poet just by studying poems during pregnancy.

D.An emotional shock to the mother has little effect on her unborn child for their unconnected vessels.

2It can be concluded from the passage that a child may not inherit ________ from mother.

A.sensitive earsB.capable fingers

C.intelligenceD.a knowledge of maths

3Which of the following can be the best title of the passage

A.Role of InheritanceB.Role of the Environment

C.An Unborn ChildD.Inherited Talents

【题目】Joanna Cole, born on August 11, 1944 in Newark, New Jersey, has been credited to be one of the most popular children’s authors of all time. She has written over 250 books and is famous for writing one of the most popular children's book series. She knew as early as 5th grade that she was interested in writing and science. Cole has owed a large part of her passion to one of her elementary school teachers.

Joanna Cole continued her education by attending the University of Massachusetts and Indiana. She would eventually earn a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the City College of New York in 1967; after graduation Cole decided to take some education courses to become a librarian at a Brooklyn elementary school in 1967. Eventually, she would take jobs working for Newsweek, Seesaw book club.

Cole’s passion for writing and science was still alive and well during this time. In 197l she decided to write her first book, Cockroaches. She did some research and discovered there had never been a book written for children about cockroaches. So she thought she would be the first.

Cole struck gold when she wrote the first Magic School Bus in 1985. The book would go on to be published the following year and quickly became book series and cartoon series due to its success.

Cole continued to write both non-fiction and fiction books for children. She writes in a way that will hopefully inspire children to think like a scientist. She does this by writing ideas instead of just facts. She also tries to ask questions in her books that require children to think and discover the answers as they read. This creates an engaging experience for children, so it is no wonder why younger readers are hooked on her books.

A. got inspired by one of her teachers

【题目】 Scientists have come up with a new way to measure ocean trash(垃圾) and the numbers are even worse than thought. In 2010, eight million tons of plastic trash ended up in the ocean from coastal countries far more than the trash floating on the surface of the ocean. That ' s bad news. The even worse news is that the tonnage may increase by as much as ten times in the next decade unless the world finds a better way to improve how trash is collected and managed.

The new study identifies the major sources of plastic trash and names the top 20 countries producing the greatest amount of ocean trash. The United States is 20th. The rest of the list includes l1 Asian countries, Turkey, five African countries, and Brazil.

The size of the difference is huge --- 20 to 2,000 times more than the amount of floating trash. To make the figure eight million tons understandable, Jenna Jambeck, who led the study, compares it to lining up five grocery bags of trash on every foot of coastline around the globe. "And by 2025, those five grocery bags of plastic are going to be ten bags," she says. That would be 155 million tons a year if present trash management practices remain the same."

Ocean plastic has turned up everywhere. It has been found in the deep sea and buried in Arctic ice with terrible consequences for some 700 species of wildlife in the ocean.

The study has also created a new mystery. Because what flows into the ocean is so large, scientists now have to figure out where else it collects and in what amounts. "But what we need to do now is close the gap." says Richard Thompson, a scientist from the U.K.

1What is the most serious problem concerning ocean trash?

A.There is no way to get rid of it,.

B.Eight million tons of trash goes into the ocean.

C.A lot more trash may be put into the ocean in the future.

D.The way to measure ocean trash hasn 't been found.

2Jenna Jambeck explains the seriousness of ocean trash mainly by ______.

A.showing the causesB.describing a process

C.making comparisonsD.making a classification

3The underlined part “the gap” in the last paragraph refers to the difference between ______.

A.what is harmless and what is dangerous

B.what is on the surface and what is in the deep sea

C.what is found and what can be recycled

D.what is from America and what is from other countries

4Which of the following can best describe the author 's tone in writing the text?

A.Doubtful.B.Hopeless.C.Critical.D.Concerned.
