Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】B

【3】A

【4】D

【5】G

【6】H

【7】E

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。温度变化是我们这个时代的一个主要问题，它已经在改变我们的日常生活，每个人都受到影响。美国总统特朗普宣布美国将退出巴黎协定，我认为这是一个错误。我可以向大家保证：法国永远不会放弃和环境及气温的斗争。我希望大家保持信心。

【1】考查可数名词复数。句意：气候变化是我们这个时代的主要问题之一。issue 是可数名词，意为“问题”，one of 后接可数名词复数。故正确答案为C。

【2】考查固定搭配。结合句意，今天，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普宣布他决定退出《巴黎协定》。withdraw from 为固定搭配，意为“退出，离开”。故正确答案为B。

【3】考查名词。结合句意，“我”几分钟前刚刚对特朗普总统说了这番话。assessment 意为“评定，评价”，this 修饰名词 assessment。故正确答案为A。

【4】考查形容词。结合句意，“我”呼吁他们——来这里和“我们”一起工作，共同为“我们”的气候和环境找到具体的解决方案。concrete 为形容词，意为“具体的”，修饰名词 solution。故正确答案为D。

【5】考查非谓语动词。结合句意，“我”明确重申，《巴黎协定》将继续不可逆转，不仅由法国，而且由所有其他国家执行。implement 意为“实施，执行”，Paris agreement 与 implement 之间是被动关系，此处是一般将来时的被动，因此 implement 应用过去分词形式。故正确答案为G。

【6】考查名词。结合句意，在接下来的几个小时里，“我”将有机会与“我们”的主要伙伴对话，确定一个共同的战略，并发起新的倡议。new 为形容词，修饰可数名词 initiative，initiative 意为“倡议”，此处用复数形式。故正确答案为H。

【7】考查形容词。结合句意，我们会成功，因为我们全身心投入，因为无论我们生活在哪里，无论我们是谁，我们都肩负着让我们的星球再次变得伟大的共同责任。此处为系表结构，用形容词作表语，fully-committed 意为“全身心投入的”。故正确答案为E。
