12、s on the table concerning the environment.”可以看出，人們主要是在這一天討論環境問題。D解析：詞義猜測題。從第三段中的“Beat Plastic Pollution”可以看出，2018年的主題是“塑戰速決”，再結合畫線詞前面的“It urges people to explore and choose supportable alternatives like paper or cloth bags”和后面的“which makes up 10% of all of the waste”可知, “disposable plastic”造成大量資源浪費,

13、 所以“一次性的”符合語境，故選D項。A解析：段落大意題。根據最后一段的內容可知，世界環境日不是公共節日, 所以人們不放假。但如果你想慶祝的話, 為何不讓你周圍的人關注它？所以最后一段主要是講每個人都可以從身邊小事做起，行動起來保護地球，每個人的微小努力都很重要，故選A項。Doing is better than saying“行勝于言”；Many hands make light work“眾人拾柴火焰高”；Nothing is impossible to a willing heart“有志者事竟成”。 Test 2I read a newspaper article about a ne

25、re growing in popularity all over the world.”可知，目前沒有祖父母照顧的孩子的數量以及沒有機會和孩子聯系的老人的數量都在增加，這是一個很大的問題，而代際計劃就是為了解決這一問題的。由此可判斷出代際計劃的目的是使老人和孩子生活在一起。故正確答案為B。D解析：段落大意題。根據第三段內容可判斷出，本段主要介紹的是一些代際活動的例子。故正確答案為D。A解析：標題歸納題。通過全文可知，本文主要講述的是：如今老年人和青少年之間的聯系越來越少，這是一個很嚴重的問題，因此以為老年人和青少年創造聯系的橋梁代際計劃越來越受歡迎。A項體現了本文的核心，適合用作本文的標題。

36、to be Scandinavian folks taking a dip in a river.is in parts of the Arctic Circle right now.”可知，喜冷的食草動物在水里涼快，證明了北極圈開始變熱。因此，這張照片表明現在北極圈的溫度很高。故選D項。B解析：推理判斷題。根據最后一段“Andrew Derocher.said climate change is shrinking the ice bears usually hunt on, making them faced with the danger of extinction.”可知，氣候變暖使得
