语法填空 二十年后的世界会是怎样的?
If you woke up 20 years from now in 2041, 1 would be different Here are some ideas 2 (base) on numbers that don’t require a crystal ball(水晶球). About 70 percent of the world population is expected 3 ( live) in urban areas by 2050, according to data from the United Nations.
That 4 (mean) most cities are going to need more infrastructure. Roads, public transportation and waste management will need massive expansion and upgrades.
We’re also going to need a lot more energy. The U.S. Energy Information Administration projects that the world will need about 28 percent 5 (much) energy in 2040 than it did in 2015 based on the number of people in the country and 6 (consume) patterns; on our current trajectory, about 42 percent of electricity in the United States will come 7 renewable sources. Where will that electricity get produced Solar power could 8 (produce) on largely unpopulated land masses and transported to population centers,
Another trend that, like 9 (increase) energy needs, isn’t new and isn’t going away: on-demand everything. Technology has led us to expect that goods and services will be delivered at
10 push of a button, often within minutes.As companies work toward instant deliveries, they’ll need to warehouse items closer and closer to customers.
阅读理解 噪声污染危及海洋生物
Have you ever had the feeling that you can’t think when there is too much noise around Did you ever think a fish could experience that feeling too A recent paper published in Science titled “Soundscape(声景)of theAnthropocene Oceans”, combined over 10,000 scientific papers, confirming that undersea life knows that exact same feeling, more often than not. Anthropogenic(人为的)ocean noise, also known as underwater noise pollution, has created a dramatic impact on marine life due to “human-caused” activity within and neighboring our oceans.
Disney Pixar’s animated film Finding Nemo educated us about the ocean, and specifically within the ordinary world of a clown fish. A fact many may not know is that clown fish spend the first part of their lives as larvae, drifting with the current of the ocean until they become strong enough to swim against it. Once they are powerful and strong, they head home in sheltered coral reefs. There is only one drawback — the fish can’t physically see the reef, but they can hear it. The only problem is, if they can’t hear it, will they ever make it home
Our anthropogenic ocean noise, such as cargo ships, ship and boat propellers, surfing, deep sea mining, etc. are causing destruction of marine life. According to Time, sound is the sensory signal that travels the farthest through the ocean. Anthropogenic noise drowns out the natural soundscapes, putting marine life under immense stress. Altogether, this stress then affects their general health, disrupts their behavior, physiology, reproduction and, in extreme cases, causes death. Marine life can adapt to noise pollution, however, only if they can escape it. This only renders further complications of straying(使偏离)species from their traditional breeding regions or separating them from their families.
Now, what if we told you there is already a solution Multiple remedies, ideas and designs are currently in the works or already exist to eliminate and reverse the damage of anthropogenic ocean noise. As Time explains, from wind-powered ships to noise-reducing propellers, floating wind turbines and “bubble curtains” that muffle construction noise, the solutions are already available and in some cases, cost-effective. The authors of the paper hope it will catch the attention of policymakers, who historically speaking, have ignored the matter still to this day.
Of all the challenges ocean creatures are battling, luckily sound pollution is the easiest compromise humans can make. Once the noise has decreased, marine life will be able to better manage everything else it is up against.
1. What do we know about “Soundscape of the Anthropocene Oceans”
A. It analyses how sound travels in the ocean.
B. It discusses different types of ocean pollution.
C. It explores the effects of noise pollution on sea life.
D. It studies how sea animals communicate with each other.
2. Why did the author mention clown fish in paragraph 2
A. To present their life cycles.
B. To show how terrible their living conditions are.
C. To introduce a famous animation about the ocean world.
D. To stress the importance of natural soundscapes to sea life.
3. What does the underlined word “renders” probably mean in paragraph 3
A. Causes. B. Reduces. C. Reveals. D. Prevents.
4. Which of the following solutions is already available according to paragraph 4
A. The management of ship traffic. B. The restriction of human activities.
C. The adoption of noise control techniques. D. The application of relevant laws.

阅读理解 全球近70%热带雨林遭破坏
Tropical rainforests are disappearing at an alarming rate, and according to a new report by Rainforest Foundation Norway, humans are to blame. The world’s dependence on coal, farming, soy, palm oil and mining has resulted in two-thirds of Earth’s tropical rainforests being completely destroyed, and the remaining ecosystems being put closer to a tipping point(临界点).
Tropical rainforests once covered 14.5 million square kilometers of Earth’s surface, but now, just one-third of that remains intact. Of the original area tropical rainforests once occupied, 34% is completely gone and 30% is suffering from degradation. All that remains is roughly 9.5 million square kilometers, and 45% of that is in a degraded state, the report says.
Researchers blame human consumption for the loss. While agriculture has always been a driving factor of rainforest loss, the report said that energy consumption, international trade and the production of soy and palm oil, logging and mining have been the largest threats over the past century. A significant number of U.S. commodities rely on resources from tropical rainforests. The country heavily relies on palm oil, rubber and cocoa, all of which come from forests around the world. Oftentimes, these resources are harvested from illegally deforested(砍伐森林)lands.
Tropical rainforests are home to more than half of the Earth’s biodiversity and have more carbon in living organisms than any other ecosystem. Along with supporting significant animal life, tropical rainforests are also essential to slowing down global warming. “These highly specialized ecosystems are suffering from constant abuse, through our bottomless appetite for land and resources,” said Anders Krogh, who authored the report. “We expect that upcoming UN climate and biodiversity summits provide specific targets and measures to protect intact tropical rainforests.”
The researchers also believe that the loss of tropical rainforests puts the whole world at risk of future pandemics(流行病). “Massive deforestation is violating nature’s natural virus protection mechanisms,” Krogh said. “The aftermath of COVID-19 should bring rainforest protection to the top of the agenda of all policy makers and world leaders concerned about preventing the outbreak of new pandemics.”
1. What is the purpose of the numbers in paragraph 2
A. To point out the threat to the current ecosystem.
B. To exhibit the forest coverage rate on Earth.
C. To present the process of rainforest degradation.
D. To highlight the severe destruction of rainforests.
2. Why did the author mention America’s dependence on rainforest resources
A. It displayed the richness of rainforest resources.
B. It stressed the effects of farming on tropical rainforests.
C. It explained the relationship between humans and nature.
D. It showed human’s excessive consumption of rainforest resources.
3. Which one will be affected by the decline of tropical rainforests according to paragraph 4
A. Human diet. B. Social structure. C. Global climate. D. Economic development.
4. What does Krogh want to convey in the last paragraph
A. Rainforest protection demands immediate attention.
B. Deforestation will affect the future generations.
C. Rainforest loss has brought about new pandemics.
D. Deforestation has accelerated the spread of the virus.

【解析】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲的是为庆祝即将到来的虎年,澳大利亚邮政发行了一套以老虎形象为主题的新邮票和硬币,文章也介绍了邮票的设计师Chrissy Lau。
21.考查定冠词。句意:为庆祝即将到来的虎年,澳大利亚邮政发行了一套以老虎形象为主题的新邮票和硬币。空格处用定冠词the表特指,特指虎年的到来,故填the。
22.考查形容词。句意:这套邮票由一直致力于绘画艺术的获奖艺术家兼插画家Chrissy Lau设计,印证了“一幅画胜过千言万语”这句话。be committed to是固定短语,意为“致力于”,因此空格处是形容词committed,故填committed。
23.考查名词。句意:并非出乎意料的是,在英格兰北部长大的华裔Lau连续第二年被澳大利亚邮政邀请设计每年发行的中国新年邮票。out of后应用名词作宾语,expect的名词是expectation,意为“预料”,是不可数名词,故填expectation。
24.考查时态。句意:并非出乎意料的是,在英格兰北部长大的华裔Lau连续第二年被澳大利亚邮政邀请设计每年发行的中国新年邮票。“长大”是一个过去的动作,时态应用一般过去时,因此空格处用过去式grew,故填grew。
25.考查形容词。句意:许多中国人和日本人热衷于老虎的形象,这与澳大利亚中、日餐馆和亚洲杂货店里常见的“幸运猫”雕像很相似。are后用形容词作表语,enthusiasm的形容词是enthusiastic,意为“热情的”,故填enthusiastic。
26.考查非谓语动词。句意:许多中国人和日本人热衷于老虎的形象,这与澳大利亚中、日餐馆和亚洲杂货店里常见的“幸运猫”雕像很相似。分析句子结构可知,which引导的从句中are是谓语,空格处用非谓语动词,figurines和see之间是被动关系,因此空格处用过去分词表被动,故填seen。
27.考查副词。句意:最后,Lau希望这些吸引眼球的设计能够启发人们去寻找亚洲传统文化背后的意义,比如驱邪的鞭炮。空格处用副词ultimately作状语,修饰整个句子,意为“最后”,位于句首,首字母大写,故填Ultimately。
28.考查定语从句。句意:最后,Lau希望这些吸引眼球的设计能够启发人们去寻找亚洲传统文化背后的意义,比如驱邪的鞭炮。分析句子结构可知,空格处引导定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词firecrackers是物,因此空格处用关系代词that/which,故填that/which。
29.考查非谓语动词。句意:虎是中国十二生肖中的第三个生肖,它记录了年,反映了人们的属性,包括鼠、牛、虎、兔、龙、蛇、马、羊、猴、鸡、狗和猪。分析句子结构可知,句中谓语是is,空格处用非谓语动词,cycle和contain之间是主谓关系,因此空格处用现在分词表主动,故填containing。
