【題目】 It was winter but people were everywhere in London at the weekend. They were in T-shirts or sandals (涼鞋). Monday was another warm day, without a cloud in the sky, and in the late afternoon the light took on a magical, honey-coloured color. It brought to mind one of those summer evenings you experienced in childhood, when you’d be in the park all day and your parents let you stay out until bedtime, and you felt like you were doing something deliciously naughty just by being there.

It wasn’t early summer: it was February. And the entire developed world has been attacking the global ecosystem (全球生態(tài)系統(tǒng)) for many years, and that’s how we go into this pickle.

We should try to hold on to this fact that this is not supposed to be happening. Less than a month ago, there was a video of extreme ( 極 端 的 ) cold weather coming out of Chicago. Water poured from cups immediately froze on its way to the ground. OK, that was on the other side of the world, and its temperature was- 11℃ then.

On Monday, though, the temperature hit 20.3℃ in Ceredigion, West Wales: the highest February temperature ever recorded in Britain and the first time the temperature had reached 20℃ in winter.

This isn’t good, is it? The 10 hottest years on record have all happened within the past 20 years, the five hottest were the last five. Yet the beaches and the beer gardens fill up, while the papers describe the weather as wonderful. There were those who gave in to the heat wave a little too easily. They let themselves forget it was winter and found themselves, when the sun went down and the temperature dropped, suddenly shaking and unprepared for the cold. It feels uncomfortably like a symbol.

【1】What does the author want to do in the first paragraph?

A.To introduce a beautiful summer.

B.To encourage kids to play outside.

C.To share his daily activities with us.

D.To describe the scene of a warm winter.

【2】What does the underlined word pickle in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.Daily activity.B.Unusual place.

C.Difficult situation.D.Quick development.

【3】Why is Chicago’s weather mentioned?

A.To compare it with that of London.

B.To attract more people to Chicago.

C.To show it is well-known for an online video.

D.To encourage more people to post videos online.

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.The author hoped people stayed indoors.

B.The author worries about global warming.

C.The papers misled the public in weather reports.

D.The papers asked the public to prepare for the cold.

【答案】

【1】D

【2】C

【3】A

【4】B

【解析】

這是一篇議論文。文章闡述了生態(tài)系統(tǒng)遭到破壞，導致全球變暖，從而出現(xiàn)極端天氣。作者認為，這并不是一種好的征兆。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“It was winter but people were everywhere in London at the weekend. They were in T-shirts or sandals (涼鞋). Monday was another warm day, without a cloud in the sky, and in the late afternoon the light took on a magical, honey-coloured color….”可知，第一段描述了溫暖的冬天的情景：周末倫敦到處都是人。他們穿著t恤或涼鞋。星期一又是一個溫暖的日子，天空萬里無云，傍晚時分，陽光呈現(xiàn)出一種神奇的蜂蜜色…。故作者第一段就是為了描述溫暖的冬天的情景。故選D。

【2】詞義猜測題。第一段描述了溫暖的冬天的一個情景。根據(jù)第二段中的“And the entire developed world has been attacking the global ecosystem (全球生態(tài)系統(tǒng)) for many years, and that’s how we go into this pickle.”可知，整個發(fā)達國家多年來一直在攻擊全球生態(tài)系統(tǒng)，使得生態(tài)系統(tǒng)遭到破壞。所以“生態(tài)系統(tǒng)遭到破壞”會使得人類陷入“困境”。故劃線詞的意思是“困境”的意思。A. Daily activity日�；顒樱� B. Unusual place.不同尋常的地方； D. Quick development快速的發(fā)展 均不符合語境。故選C。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的“Less than a month ago, there was a video of extreme ( 極 端 的 ) cold weather coming out of Chicago.”可知，芝加哥出現(xiàn)了極度寒冷的天氣。這和第一段中描述的倫敦“暖冬”形成鮮明的對比，以此突出生態(tài)系統(tǒng)遭到破壞產(chǎn)生的結(jié)果。結(jié)合選項，A選項（和倫敦的天氣作比較）符合以上推測。故選A。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“The 10 hottest years on record have all happened within the past 20 years, the five hottest were the last five. Yet the beaches and the beer gardens fill up, while the papers describe the weather as wonderful. There were those who gave in to the heat wave a little too easily. They let themselves forget it was winter and found themselves, when the sun went down and the temperature dropped, suddenly shaking and unprepared for the cold. It feels uncomfortably like a symbol.”可知，有記錄以來最熱的10年都發(fā)生在過去20年里，而報紙上卻把天氣描述得棒極了。有些人忘記了這是冬天，他們對于太陽落山，氣溫下降帶來的寒冷毫無準備。作者認為，這種天氣的突然變化給人一種不舒服的感覺，這就像一個象征。通過這一段，作者實際上是在表明全球生態(tài)系統(tǒng)遭到破壞，從而導致全球變暖，極端天氣出現(xiàn)并不是一件好事，反而是一種不好的象征。從而判斷出了作者對此很擔心。故選B。

依據(jù)邏輯推理猜測詞義：運用邏輯推理猜測詞義是使用最廣考查最多也最易失分的猜詞方式。要求考生具備整合分散、復雜信息的能力，充分利用上下文中相關的詞匯并結(jié)合具體的語境，從形式和內(nèi)容上把握語言之間的內(nèi)在聯(lián)系，理順語言之間的邏輯關系，進而達到猜詞的目的。例如第1小題，在了解選項意思的情況下，畫線句子所在的上下文語境中提到：整個發(fā)達國家多年來一直在攻擊全球生態(tài)系統(tǒng)，這使得生態(tài)系統(tǒng)遭到破壞。那么，根據(jù)邏輯關系，“生態(tài)系統(tǒng)遭到破壞”會使得人類陷入“困境”。由此確定答案。

【題目】 The Australian state of New South Wales rolled out “high definition detection cameras" on Sunday, designed to catch drivers using cell phones behind the wheel.

Andrew Constance, New South Wales' minister for roads, said the "world-fist" technology would target illegal cell phone use through "fixed and mobile cameras". The cameras will use artificial intelligence to review images and detect illegal use of cell phones, according to Transport for NSW.

Images identified as being likely to contain a driver illegally using a cell phone would then be verified by traffic police. Those images would be securely stored and managed.

Over the next three years, 45 portable cameras would be set up across the state, in unknown locations, and without warning signs, CNN branch Sky News Australia reported.

For the first three months, drivers caught out by the technology would receive a warning letter, Transport for New South Wales said in a statement, after which the drivers would face a fine of up to $344, or $457 in a school zone, and loss of points on their drivers' license.

“The NSW Government is serious about reducing our state's road deaths and launching mobile phone detection cameras is another way we will do this." Con stance said in a statement.

Officials said that a trial of the technology earlier in the year had caught more than 100,000 drivers illegally using a phone behind the wheel. Some 329 people died this year on New South Wales' roads, Reuters news agency reported, compared with 354 people for 2018, according to official statistics.

A.To get some real-time information about the traffic.

B.To monitor people crossing the street casually.

C.To catch drivers using cell phones illegally.

D.To improve the work efficiency of the police.

【2】What docs the underlined word "verified” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A.Described.B.Restored.

C.Edited.D.Confirmed.

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

【題目】 People often talk about how difficult it is to keep a healthy lifestyle while on vacation. A cruise （船）is the perfect example--too much food and too little exercise.【1】Then I realized that’s of taking such vacations, we would all be better off taking vacations that encourage healthy behavior. Things like hiking and cycling are not only healthy, but they're cheap! 【2】－we couldn't afford to do such else!

Gerhard Strauss-Blasche and colleagues examined the links between vacation environment and recovery. 【3】 They filled out questionnaires within two weeks of returning from a short vacation. Post-vacation recovery was assessed by quantifying how closely subjects agreed with the statement "In comparison with the two weeks before vacation, I now feel mentally fitter, feel more balanced and relaxed, can concentrate better during work, feel physically fitter, and do my work more easily.”

【4】?Physical activity during the trip was positively associated with post-vacation recovery scores. In other words, the more physically active people were during their vacation, the more likely they were to feel relaxed upon their return. 【5】.In fact, I wouldn't take this study too seriously. But I don't think it's surprising that people who engage in(參加）healthy behaviors during a vacation might feel better upon their return. So instead of looking at your vacation as a potential block to your healthy lifestyle, why not look at it as a chance to improve your healthy behaviors?

A.I thought a lot about this issue

B.So what did the researchers find

C.Now of course this is only one study

D.The study included 191 German males and females

E.That's why my wife Daun and I first started taking cycling vacations

F.Limited evidence supports the idea that healthy vacations leave you feeling better

G.Why would people choose to eat unhealthy food and perform very little physical activity
