解答 答案:
61.to slow 考查固定短语 try to do sth.表示尽最大努力做某事,此处指的是:世界各国领导人将在联合国采取具有历史意义的行动,以努力减缓气候变化带来的影响;故用to slow.
62.its 考查形容词性的物主代词 此处用来修饰名词damage,指代的是climate change's(气候变化造成的);故用its.
63.as 考查固定词组 as well as意为:和,以及;此处用来连接并列主语,故用as.
64. reached 考查过去分词 此处在句中作后置定语,修饰名词词组 the climate change deal,意为:达成的气候变化协议;由于动词reach与该名词词组构成被动关系,故用过去分词reached.
65.to 考查固定短语 rise to意为:上升到;此处指的是:限制全球气温上升到摄氏2度之内,故用to.
66.out 考查固定短语 work out意为:制定出;此处指的是制定出一个线路图;故用out.
67.controlling 考查动词的形式 由于此处与动名词短语 reducing…emissions一起在句中作介词for的并列宾语,故二者在形式上应保持一致,故用controlling.
68.of 考查固定短语 think of意为:考虑;认为;此处指的是联合国秘书长潘基文认为《巴黎协议》是世界应对气候变化的一个"转折点";故用of.
69.which 考查关系代词 本句为非限定性的定语从句,由于先行词China and the United States(指国家)在该从句中作主语,故用关系代词which.
70.have been using/are using/will use 考查句意理解以及时态 本句的意思是:他们一直在利用他们的政治影响力敦促协议早日实施/他们正在利用他们的政治影响力敦促协议早日实施/他们将利用他们的政治影响力敦促协议早日实施.根据上文可知,此处可以有以上三种不同的理解,故可以用现在完成进行时/现在进行时/一般将来时;故答案为:have been using/are using/will use.

That's how it used to be,but things are beginning to change.It is said that the credit decline is causing 39British pubs a week to go out of business.People don't have lots of spare money to spend on beer.Recently,the UK government banned smoking in all pubs,and that may also have affected the number of customers going to pubs.
This decline is happening despite the fact that in recent years the UK government has started to allow pubs to stay open after 11p.m.Previously,with 11p.m.as closing time,customers would have to drink quite quickly,meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they would if allowed to drink slowly.The British habit of drinking a lot very quickly is known as"binge drinking",and it causes some long-term health problems for people and problems with violent crime for communities.The UK government is changing the law to discourage binge drinking,and regularly spends money on television advertisements to warn people of the problems of drinking too much.
In order to save their businesses,pubs are trying to change with the market.Now,there are a number of different types of pubs.
As you can see,British pubs now offer something for everyone.A lot of pubs used to be
working men's clubs,meaning that women could not usually enter.Today,however,women can freely enter 99% of pubs without experiencing any problems.Perhaps things are changing for the better after all.
