题目内容

【题目】阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

When it comes to climate change, language does count. In March, the Guardian changed1(it) wording – using “global heating” instead of “global warming” , after scientists found that Earth’s temperature is set 2(rise) from between 2.5C and 4.5C. And on May 1, the UK parliament declared a “climate emergency”, 3(become)the first parliament to do so.

If with “global warming”, we’re still inside our comfort zone of handling the situation, entering the state of “global heating” is like heading to a point4the delicate balance of nature is disturbed so much that there is no turning back. Everything will be changing: Coral will die, polar bears will lose their habitats completely, and extreme5 (weather) like droughts and heavy storms will happen at a higher6 (frequent). There is no denying that we’re entering a climate emergency.

Decades ago when the science on the climate issue was first increasing, the impacts could be seen as an issue for future generations,” but now it’s 7(definite) our issue, 8shift we all are living together.

However, getting these messages 9 is far from enough. It depends on each to find a solution – if there are any solutions left to find. The UK’s Labor leader Jeremy urged that “we10( take) rapid and dramatic action now”.

Indeed, language matters. But action matters even more.

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了谈到气候变化,语言的确很重要。今年3月,在科学家发现地球温度将从2.5度上升到4.5度之后,《卫报》改变了它的措辞——使用“全球变热”而不是“全球变暖”。

1考查代词。句意:今年3月,在科学家发现地球温度将从2.5度上升到4.5度之后,《卫报》改变了它的措辞——使用“全球变热”而不是“全球变暖”。文中表示“它的措辞”,所以填its

2考查固定短语。句意:今年3月,在科学家发现地球温度将从2.5度上升到4.5度之后,《卫报》改变了它的措辞——使用“全球变热”而不是“全球变暖”。set to do开始做,该用法是固定用法,所以填to rise

3考查非谓语动词。句意:51日,英国议会宣布进入“气候紧急状态”,成为第一个这样做的议会。become的逻辑主语是the UK parliament,它们之间是主动关系,用现在分词作状语,所以填becoming

4考查定语从句。句意:如果在“全球变暖”的情况下,我们仍然在自己的舒适区处理这种情况,进入“全球变热”的状态,就像走向一个点,大自然的微妙平衡被扰乱得如此之多,没有回头路。___4___the delicate balance of nature is disturbed so much that there is no turning back.是一个定语从句,先行词是a point,关系词在从句中作地点状语,所以填关系副词where

5考查名词。句意:珊瑚将会死亡,北极熊将完全失去它们的栖息地,干旱和暴风雨等极端天气将会以更高的频率发生。该空作句子主语用名词,单数或复数均可,所以填weathers/weather

6考查名词。句意:珊瑚将会死亡,北极熊将完全失去它们的栖息地,干旱和暴风雨等极端天气将会以更高的频率发生。介词之后,用名词,所以填frequency

7考查副词。句意:几十年前,当气候问题的科学研究刚刚起步时,其影响可能会被视为未来几代人的问题,但现在这绝对是我们的问题,我们都生活在一起的转变。修饰整个句子,用副词,所以填definitely

8考查冠词。句意:几十年前,当气候问题的科学研究刚刚起步时,其影响可能会被视为未来几代人的问题,但现在这绝对是我们的问题,我们都生活在一起的转变。特指“这个转变”,用定冠词,所以填the

9考查固定短语。句意:然而,仅仅理解这些信息是远远不够的。get through | across理解,该短语是固定短语,所以填through|across

10考查虚拟语气。that we___10___( take) rapid and dramatic action now.是一个宾语从句,urge之后的宾语从句,宾语从句中用should + 动词原形,should可以被省略的虚拟语气,所以填(should)take

【题目】People Are People

Globalization has brought different cultures together in a way unimaginable one hundred years ago. Today, Chinese, Indians, Arabs, Africans, Anglos, and Hispanics may all work in the same offices, attend the same schools or live in the same neighborhoods. 1 And our society has lately emphasized the importance of diversity.

2 Take the following old proverbs for example.

Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.

—Thomas Jefferson, American President

One falsehood spoils a thousand truths.

—African proverb

Be honest to those who are honest, and be also honest to those who are not honest.

—Lao Tzu, Chinese philosopher

A sacrifice is written off by a lie and the merit of devotion by an act of cheat.

—Hindu saying

3 There seems to be a sort of cultural unity.

We don’t wish to imply all cultures are the same. Cultural diversity is real, and people from different cultures view many situations in different ways. However, historically, different cultures seem to share many common values. They are justice, courage, patience, generosity, equality, mercy and kindness, respect for the elders, and many more. Lying and stealing appear to be wrong no matter where you go. Perhaps some cultures make room for extenuating (情有可原) circumstances more than others; perhaps cultures apply these virtues in different ways; and when values disagree, different cultures may place different levels of importance on them. 4 But both cultures may still value both.

To us, it seems as if there is some sort of code of right and wrong that everyone everywhere seems to understand, regardless of culture. It is almost as if, behind all of the diversity, one finds a common understanding—a human culture, if you will—that goes beyond racial, social, and political boundaries. 5

A. All people seem to agree that we should tell the truth.

B. Each value supports many more quotes from different cultures.

C. As cultures rub shoulders with each other, many differences stand out.

D. We want to show, however, that there is more to these cultures than diversity.

E. These quotes from four separate cultures all support the same value—honesty.

F. It is almost as if, despite all our differences, we are all still the same—we are just people.

G. In other words, one culture may lean more toward justice and another culture more toward mercy.
