B.Venice.C.Glacier語篇解讀:這是一篇介紹說明類文章。文章介紹了因為氣候變暖或者人類活動正在消逝的幾個景點。答案及剖析:1.C細微環節理解題。由其次段中的“Risingairtemperatureswillcauseseatemperaturestoriseaswell.Alllifesupportedbytheoceanswillbeaffectedwiththisshocktotheirecosystem.Coralsaresomeofthemostvulnerablemarineanimalsandwearealreadywatchingwholereefsdisappear”可知,氣候變暖導致海水溫度上升。靠海洋生存的全部生態系統都受到影響。珊瑚蟲是最脆弱的海洋動物之一。由此可知,海水溫度上升導致了珊瑚蟲的死亡。2.B推理推斷題。由第三段中的“Risingsealevelsareinfactaseriousthreattomanycoastalcitieslocatedatsealevel”可知,上升的海平面對于許多海邊城市構成了嚴峻威逼,因此許多城市有被海水沉沒的危急。故B選項正確。3.A細微環節理解題。由第四段中的“LocatedinMontana,Canada,thisparkisoveramillionacresandhasahugeplantandwildlifepopulation”可知,GlacierNationalPark位于Montana,占地一百多萬英畝。結合選項可知,A選項正確。4.D細微環節理解題。由倒數其次段中的“Thecausebehindthedisappearanceofthesefantasticplacesultimatelycomesdowntohumans.Ourexpansionusuallyrequirescuttingdownforestsforland,fuelandmaterials”可知,theAmazon縮小的緣由是人類。人類為了獲得土地、燃料和材料砍倒了樹林。而結合上文的介紹,其他三個景點正在消逝的緣由是氣候變暖。由此可知,theAmazon縮小的緣由和其他幾個地方不一樣。故D選項正確。Ⅱ.七選五Somepeoplejustknowhowtostartaconversationwithanyone,inanyplace.Ifyou’renotoneoftheseluckytypes,don’tworry.1.
