课文三维剖析
Hot! Hot! Hot!
热!热!热!
Picking up a free newspaper1 at the Tube station, I see the title “Hot! Hot! Hot!”. Today, the temperature in London is expected to reach 30 plus degrees2! The average high temperature in July is only 22 degrees, so over 30 is not usual for London. It's going to be awful on the Central Line, with no air conditioning. Why did they have to invent the Tube before air conditioning It3's just typical that my journey is on one of the oldest lines, as well as4 one of the deepest. It's the hottest on the whole Tube system. 在地铁站拿起一份免费报纸,我看到一个标题写着“热!热!热!”。今天,伦敦的温度预计将达到30多度!7月的平均最高温度只有22度,所以超过30度对于伦敦来说太不寻常了。地铁中央线没有空调系统,情况会很糟糕。为什么地铁要在空调系统之前发明出来?我通常上班所走的路线刚好是地铁里最老、最深的一条线。那也是整个地铁系统里最热的一条线。 Sure enough, going down the stairs and onto the platform5 is like jumping into a volcano that6's erupting. This, however, is nothing compared to the train. Because there's no air conditioning, the temperature inside the train can reach 35 degrees! It's lovely at the beach, but7 not so8when9 you're wearing a suit and in a crowd of passengers! I'm sure the passenger next to me and10 I are melting and becoming one! I had bacon and eggs for breakfast, and now I'm feeling a bit sick—I hope I can make it to Bank station ... I'll avoid the feeling by thinking about work11. I work in a tall, glass building. One very hot summer, the sun reflected off it and12 melted cars parked below13! Will this happen again today 1现在分词短语作时间状语;Picking ... =After I pick ... 2不定式短语作主语补足语;expect sb/sth to do sth中的to do sth 是宾语补足语 3It作形式主语,真正的主语是that从句 4连接one__of__the__oldest__lines和one__of__the__deepest 5动名词短语作主语 6引导定语从句,修饰a__volcano 7连接两个并列分句 8前面省略了it's 9引导时间状语从句 10连接并列成分the__passenger和I 11动名词短语作宾语 12连接并列谓语 13过去分词短语作后置定语
果不其然,走下楼梯,来到站台上就像是跳进一座正在喷发的火山。不过这还远远比不上车厢里面。因为没有空调,车厢内的温度能达到35度!这样的温度在海滩上会很舒服,但是当你穿着西装挤在一群乘客中,可就没那么舒服了。我敢肯定邻座的乘客和我都正在熔化,我们要融为一体了!我早餐吃了培根和鸡蛋,现在感觉有点恶心——希望我能撑到银行站……我还是想想工作的事来逃避这种感觉吧。我在一座高高的玻璃建筑里上班。有一年夏天非常热,大楼表面反射的阳光竟然熔化了停在楼下的车!今天这种事会重演吗?
Yes, each summer in London definitely seems hotter than the last. I suddenly feel a bit scared. Perhaps now is the time to start planning for the future14 I should probably put my flat on the market and buy a boat. That way, when15 the Thames rises and there is a flood in London, I'll still be able to get to work. But wait! Would I still have a workplace to go to My office is only on the third floor of the building, so quite low16. I'll speak with my manager about moving to the top floor. Most importantly, I will need to learn to swim! I'll join a beginner's swimming class immediately. Then I'll be able to survive even when17 the tall buildings are flooded. 14动词不定式短语作后置定语 15引导时间状语从句 16前面省略了it's 17引导时间状语从句
没错,好像伦敦的夏天一年比一年热。我突然觉得有点儿害怕。也许是时候该为将来打算了?我或许应该把房子在市场上卖掉,然后买一艘船。这样等泰晤士河的水涨起来,伦敦被洪水淹没的时候,我依然能去上班。不过等等!到那时候我还有地方工作吗?我的办公室就在四楼,太低了。我得去跟经理请求搬到顶楼去。最重要的是,我得学会游泳!我得马上报个游泳入门班。这样就算高楼大厦都被洪水淹没了,我也能活下来。
Looking through my newspaper18, I'm shocked by photos showing19 that20 a typhoon in Asia has destroyed a town. What's more21, heavy rain in Eastern Europe has caused landslides, and the heat across Southern Europe22 has caused forest fires. Experts say this bad weather has occurred due to climate change. News like this makes me feel nervous. Now that23 it's hard to avoid a disaster on Earth, perhaps I should start thinking about moving to space ... 18现在分词短语作时间状语 19现在分词短语作后置定语,修饰photos 20引导宾语从句 21插入语 22介词短语作后置定语,修饰the__heat 23引导原因状语从句
我翻阅着手里的报纸,震惊地看到亚洲的飓风摧毁了一个城镇的照片。还有,东欧的暴雨造成了山体滑坡,席卷南欧的热浪引发了森林火灾。专家说这些恶劣天气是由气候变化导致的。这样的新闻让我感到紧张。既然在地球上难逃一劫,或许我应该开始考虑移民太空了……
“The next station is Bank!” comes the announcement.24 That's my destination. Stepping out of the station25 with a heavy heart, I suddenly feel a fresh wind on my face. Well, maybe I have been worrying too much. After all, it's only 30 degrees outside! 24完全倒装句,谓语位于主语前面 25现在分词短语作时间状语
“下一站,银行站!”报站声响起。我要到站了。我心情沉重地走出地铁站,突然感觉到一阵清风扑面而来。罢了罢了,也许是我担心得太多了。毕竟外面才只有30度!

【分析】 as well as意为“不但……(而且……),既……(又……);和;也”,用于连接并列成分。 as well as的用法: 连接的并列成分作主语时,谓语动词与as well as前的主语在人称和数上保持一致,即遵循就远原则 表示“除……之外(还)”,相当于besides, in addition to等 也可以是well的同级比较结构,表示“和……一样好”

8.Well, maybe I have been worrying too much.(教材P84) 罢了罢了,也许是我担心得太多了。
【分析】 have been worrying是现在完成进行时。 现在完成进行时: 表示动作从过去某一时刻开始,一直持续到现在并有可能延续下去,强调动作的延续性,常与for, since构成的时间状语连用 表示动作的反复性 表示某种感彩
【语境感知】

【易混辨析】现在完成进行时和现在完成时的区别
时态 基本语法功能 动作的反复 感彩
现在完成进行时 表示动作的持续 可表示动作的反复 可表示强烈的感彩

This summer has brought extreme heat and droughts to places around the world. The droughts are leading to serious problems and the effects of the droughts are likely to be felt for years. Droughts aren't new, but Earth's rising temperatures because of global warming are making them much harder to avoid.
The drought in the Horn of Africa may be the most serious situation. For several years, the area has had very little rain during the rainy seasons. The dry conditions have killed millions of farm animals and destroyed the crops of farmers.
The drought is causing energy problems in Europe, too. The low water levels have cut the amount of hydroelectric power that can be produced. Some rivers are so low that the heavy boats that carry coal can't travel on them.
Farmers in California and Arizona have been hit particularly hard. California has put limits on water use across the state. Now water is being limited in other places. When there are water limits, farmers aren't able to grow as many crops. That can drive up food prices, and that affects everyone.
China is facing similar problems. The drought has dried up much of the water in the Yangtze, China's longest river. That has cut the amount of energy produced by the world's largest dam by 40%.
China hasn't been able to produce enough energy, since millions of people are using electricity to keep cool. The government is calling on the public to turn off the air conditioner when it is not too hot. The country is trying to make it rain by shooting chemicals into clouds. But this is an uncertain and temporary response.
There are no easy solutions to any of these droughts. It took years to create the climate crisis, and it will take a long time to get it under control. For now, governments and people will need to carefully manage water supplies and other resources to limit the damage as much as possible.

Donate your skills to your community. If you are trained in disaster response, you can contact your local emergency services and the Red Cross to see if they need volunteers. Let them know your abilities. __3__ Do not go as an individual volunteer to a disaster area expecting to find ways to help.
__4__ Time and comfort are the two most important things you can give for free. Spend time listening to the victims (受灾群众) with an understanding ear. You can bring books and read to the children.

篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章就如何给灾区人们提供帮助提出了一些实用的建议。
1.答案:G
解析:根据上文“The wrong donations end up ... your donation efforts.”可知,错误的捐赠只会花费慈善机构宝贵的金钱来储存积压的物资,再结合下文提到的四个建议可推知,设空处应给人们一些捐赠或帮助有需要的人的建议。G项(这里有一些建议你可以采纳,以用最明智的方式来帮助那些有需要的人。)符合语境。故选G。
2.答案:F
解析:根据上文“As families influenced by a disaster ... in post disaster environments.(当受灾的家庭努力保护孩子不受影响时,他们尽量给孩子们提供玩具、零食、果汁、糖果或其他带来安慰的物品,尤其是在灾后的环境中。)”可知,F项(把你的钱变成适合各年龄段孩子的玩具和娱乐选择。)承接上文。故选F。
3.答案:D
解析:上文“If you are trained ... if they need volunteers.”提到如果你接受过灾难应对方面的培训,你可以与当地的应急服务机构和红十字会取得联系,看他们是否需要志愿者。D项(然后,如果他们需要志愿者,他们就会继续跟进。)承接上文。故选D。
4.答案:C
解析:设空处为本段主旨句。根据下文“Time and comfort ... with an understanding ear.”可知,本段主要建议花时间和受灾的人待在一起,陪伴他们度过艰难时刻。C项(花时间照顾避难所的家庭和个人。)符合语境。故选C。
5.答案:E
解析:上文“Become a volunteer ... the best way to give.”提到为了未来,现在就成为一名志愿者。除了捐钱,做志愿者是最好的给予方式。E项(然而,你必须在灾难发生之前就开始这个过程。)承接上文,其中的this process指代上文提到的Become a volunteer。故选E。

It was October 2005, and the catastrophic earthquake killing some 79,000 people in Pakistan had reduced the valley to mud and ruins.
Yasmeen Lari, a 65 year old architect, was there to help lead the reconstruction of settlements, but she had never done disaster work before. Lari was known for designing smooth towers of glass and concrete. But here, she'd be drawing plans for earthquake resistant homes using stone and timber debris (木材碎片). With each passing day, she felt deeply right to do disaster relief work. So she made it her new mission, spending the next four months working with volunteer architects and engineers from Pakistan and abroad.
Inspired by local buildings made with sustainable materials such as timber debris, bamboo and mud, Lari's shelters can better withstand disasters. Lari says this local, cost effective and zero carbon approach is creating an ecosystem. Anyone can learn by watching DIY videos on Lari's Zero Carbon Channel on YouTube.
The design won a UN World Habitat Prize in 2018. “We need to believe in people's capacity to bring about change. I treat displaced people as partners, not victims. They know what to do,” says Lari.
Over the decades, Yasmeen Lari has won many awards as architect and environmentalist. While it may seem like an unlikely path for a girl who was born into a well to do family in 1941, she had an unconventional upbringing. At home, her father would talk about the desperate need for housing. Listening to her father talk about the housing crisis and need for architects made an impression on Lari. On a family visit to London when she was 15, she applied to architecture school at Oxford Brookes University. She laughs as she recalls her bravery.
At age 83, Yasmeen Lari is still full of ideas about zero carbon designs, skills building and self sustaining villages. “Architects can no longer work for just the one percent,” she says. “That doesn't allow them to serve humanity as much as they could.”
篇章导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位巴基斯坦女性建筑师Yasmeen Lari (亚斯明·拉里)努力改进村庄的房屋设计以更好地抵御自然灾害,突显了其体恤村民和倡导环保的精神。

C.By using local sustainable materials.
D.By watching DIY videos on YouTube.

4.Which of the following best describes Yasmeen Lari
A.Sensitive and brave.
B.Determined and cooperative.
C.Honest and generous.
D.Sympathetic and eco responsible.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段“At age 83 ... as they could.”可知,Yasmeen Lari仍然对零碳设计、技能培养和自给自足的村庄充满了想法,且她认为建筑师应该尽全力为所有人服务,由此可推知,她对生态负责且富有同情心。故选D。

In March, 2022, much of Spain has been coated with dust, and the skies have turned bright orange. A huge cloud of dust from the Sahara Desert is causing the strange weather. The dust cloud is expected to spread to other parts of Europe.
Across much of Spain on Tuesday morning, a thin layer (层) of red dust coated everything outside. From streets to sidewalks to balconies, everything was covered with a layer of dust. As the sun rose, the dust in the air turned the skies in some cities a strange orange. The cause of the dust and unusual sky colour wasn't a forest fire, but dust from the Sahara Desert.
Every year, a large cloud of dust rises from the Sahara Desert. It's called the Saharan Air Layer. Usually, it crosses the Atlantic Ocean as part of a natural cycle that helps develop farmland and beaches in Central and South America.
But sometimes, depending on the weather, the layer of dust gets forced to the north. Large sandstorms in northern Africa lift sand and dust into the air, where it gets blown towards Spain. Though the particles (微粒) in the air come from sand, they're much more like dust than sand at a beach.
These kinds of storms aren't unknown in Spain. In fact, it has a special name. It's called a “calima”. This calima is so large that it can be seen from space. A NASA scientist who studies weather in the atmosphere says it's like a river of dust in the air. That river of dust has met with a river of wet air driven by strong winds.
Spain's weather service described the dust storm as being “very intense”. At one point on Tuesday, the air quality in Madrid was the worst in the world. Government health experts warned people not to go outside without a mask, and to keep their windows and doors closed at home.

Ⅰ 阅读
This summer has brought extreme heat and droughts to places around the world. The droughts are leading to serious problems and the effects of the droughts are likely to be felt for years. Droughts aren't new, but Earth's rising temperatures because of global warming are making them much harder to avoid.
The drought in the Horn of Africa may be the most serious situation. For several years, the area has had very little rain during the rainy seasons. The dry conditions have killed millions of farm animals and destroyed the crops of farmers.
The drought is causing energy problems in Europe, too. The low water levels have cut the amount of hydroelectric power that can be produced. Some rivers are so low that the heavy boats that carry coal can't travel on them.
Farmers in California and Arizona have been hit particularly hard. California has put limits on water use across the state. Now water is being limited in other places. When there are water limits, farmers aren't able to grow as many crops. That can drive up food prices, and that affects everyone.
China is facing similar problems. The drought has dried up much of the water in the Yangtze, China's longest river. That has cut the amount of energy produced by the world's largest dam by 40%.
China hasn't been able to produce enough energy, since millions of people are using electricity to keep cool. The government is calling on the public to turn off the air conditioner when it is not too hot. The country is trying to make it rain by shooting chemicals into clouds. But this is an uncertain and temporary response.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了干旱给世界各地带来的问题。
There are no easy solutions to any of these droughts. It took years to create the climate crisis, and it will take a long time to get it under control. For now, governments and people will need to carefully manage water supplies and other resources to limit the damage as much as possible.
1.What has been affected by droughts according to the passage
A.Technology. B.Transportation.
C.Education. D.Tourism.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,干旱导致有些河流水位降低,从而影响运输。故选B。
2.What measures have been taken to deal with droughts in China
A.Bringing water from other countries.
B.Finding replacement for rain water.
C.Limiting the use of drinking water.
D.Controlling the use of electricity.
解析:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“China hasn't been able to ... when it is not too hot.”可知,中国通过控制用电来应对干旱。故选D。
3.How might the author feel about the fight against drought
A.Concerned. B.Satisfied.
C.Disappointed. D.Optimistic.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“There are no easy solutions ... get it under control. (这些干旱都没有简单的解决办法。气候危机的产生历时多年,要控制气候危机也需要很长时间。)”可推知,作者对与旱灾的斗争充满担忧。故选A。
4.What can be the best title for the passage
A.Worldwide Droughts Appeared as New Problems
B.China Is Also Facing the Serious Drought Problem
C.Droughts Cause Problems Around the World
D.Many Reasons Lead to the Drought Problem
解析:标题判断题。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了干旱给非洲之角、欧洲、加州、亚利桑那州和中国等多地带来的问题,C项(干旱在世界各地造成问题)最适合作为文章标题。故选C。
Ⅱ 七选五
The wrong donations end up costing charities precious dollars just to store leftovers (积压物资), which is why clothing may not be the best use of your donation efforts. __1__
Think of the children. Children's needs are important during disasters. As families influenced by a disaster try to protect their children from the effects, they try to provide children with toys, snacks, juices, candies, and other comfort items, particularly in post disaster environments. __2__ Shelters will accept these donations and give them out properly.
Donate your skills to your community. If you are trained in disaster response, you can contact your local emergency services and the Red Cross to see if they need volunteers. Let them know your abilities. __3__ Do not go as an individual volunteer to a disaster area expecting to find ways to help.
__4__ Time and comfort are the two most important things you can give for free. Spend time listening to the victims (受灾群众) with an understanding ear. You can bring books and read to the children.
Become a volunteer now for the future. Besides donating money, volunteering is the best way to give. __5__ The Red Cross and charity organizations prefer a trained group of volunteers who can jump into action. They don't have the resources to train during the disasters.

B.These items are expensive to transport to shelters.
C.Spend time caring for families and individuals at shelters.

G.Here are some tips you can follow to help people in need in the most wise ways.

2.答案:F
解析:根据上文“As families influenced by a disaster ... in post disaster environments.(当受灾的家庭努力保护孩子不受影响时,他们尽量给孩子们提供玩具、零食、果汁、糖果或其他带来安慰的物品,尤其是在灾后的环境中。)”可知,F项(把你的钱变成适合各年龄段孩子的玩具和娱乐选择。)承接上文。故选F。
3.答案:D
解析:上文“If you are trained ... if they need volunteers.”提到如果你接受过灾难应对方面的培训,你可以与当地的应急服务机构和红十字会取得联系,看他们是否需要志愿者。D项(然后,如果他们需要志愿者,他们就会继续跟进。)承接上文。故选D。
4.答案:C
解析:设空处为本段主旨句。根据下文“Time and comfort ... with an understanding ear.”可知,本段主要建议花时间和受灾的人待在一起,陪伴他们度过艰难时刻。C项(花时间照顾避难所的家庭和个人。)符合语境。故选C。
5.答案:E
解析:上文“Become a volunteer ... the best way to give.”提到为了未来,现在就成为一名志愿者。除了捐钱,做志愿者是最好的给予方式。E项(然而,你必须在灾难发生之前就开始这个过程。)承接上文,其中的this process指代上文提到的Become a volunteer。故选E。

It was October 2005, and the catastrophic earthquake killing some 79,000 people in Pakistan had reduced the valley to mud and ruins.

Lari was known for designing smooth towers of glass and concrete. But here, she'd be drawing plans for earthquake resistant homes using stone and timber debris (木材碎片). With each passing

day, she felt deeply right to do disaster relief work. So she made it her new mission, spending the next four months working with volunteer architects and engineers from Pakistan and abroad.
Inspired by local buildings made with sustainable materials such as timber debris, bamboo and mud, Lari's shelters can better withstand disasters. Lari says this local, cost effective and zero carbon approach is creating an ecosystem. Anyone can learn by watching DIY videos on Lari's Zero Carbon Channel on YouTube.
The design won a UN World Habitat Prize in 2018. “We need to believe in people's capacity to bring about change. I treat displaced people as partners, not victims. They know what to do,” says Lari.
Over the decades, Yasmeen Lari has won many awards as architect and environmentalist. While it may seem like an unlikely path for a girl who was born into a well to do family in 1941, she had an unconventional upbringing. At home, her father would talk about the desperate need for housing. Listening to her father talk about the housing crisis and need for architects made an impression on Lari. On a family visit to London when she was 15, she applied to architecture school at Oxford Brookes University. She laughs as she recalls her bravery.
篇章导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位巴基斯坦女性建筑师Yasmeen Lari (亚斯明·拉里)努力改进村庄的房屋设计以更好地抵御自然灾害,突显了其体恤村民和倡导环保的精神。
At age 83, Yasmeen Lari is still full of ideas about zero carbon designs, skills building and self sustaining villages. “Architects can no longer work for just the one percent,” she says. “That doesn't allow them to serve humanity as much as they could.”
1.What can we learn about Lari from the first two paragraphs
A.She felt considerably proud to do disaster relief work.
B.She started a brand new volunteer working experience.
C.She was good at designing earthquake resistant houses.
D.She reconstructed the settlements with glass and concrete.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But here, she'd be drawing plans ... from Pakistan and abroad.”可知,在巴基斯坦发生了灾难性的地震之后,Lari用石头和木材碎片来设计抗震房屋,把它作为自己的新任务,在接下来的四个月里,她与来自巴基斯坦和国外的志愿者建筑师和工程师一起工作,由此可知,Lari开始了一段全新的志愿者工作经历。故选B。
2.How did Lari make her design practical and environmental
A.By creating an ecosystem.
B.By strengthening local buildings.
C.By using local sustainable materials.
D.By watching DIY videos on YouTube.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Inspired by local buildings ... better withstand disasters. (受到当地用木材碎片、竹子和泥土等可持续材料建造的建筑的启发,拉里(设计)的居所可以更好地抵御灾害。)”可知,Lari设计的房屋实用且环保是因为使用了可持续材料。故选C。
3.Why did Lari decide to apply to architecture school
A.Her interest in architecture drove her.
B.Her father encouraged her to an unusual path.
C.Her father talked about the demand for architects.
D.Her rich family allowed her to pursue the most of dream.
解析:细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Listening to her father ... at Oxford Brookes University. (听到父亲谈论住房危机和对建筑师的需求给拉里留下了深刻的印象。15岁时,她随家人去伦敦旅游,她申请了牛津布鲁克斯大学的建筑学院。)”可知,Lari申请建筑学院的原因是听到父亲谈论住房危机和对建筑师的需求给其留下了深刻的印象。故选C。
4.Which of the following best describes Yasmeen Lari
A.Sensitive and brave.
B.Determined and cooperative.
C.Honest and generous.
D.Sympathetic and eco responsible.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段“At age 83 ... as they could.”可知,Yasmeen Lari仍然对零碳设计、技能培养和自给自足的村庄充满了想法,且她认为建筑师应该尽全力为所有人服务,由此可推知,她对生态负责且富有同情心。故选D。

the desperate need for clean water
treat every challenge as an opportunity
As I walked into the room, I noticed a strange smell.
In March, 2022, much of Spain has been coated with dust, and the skies have turned bright orange. A huge cloud of dust from the Sahara Desert is causing the strange weather. The dust cloud is expected to spread to other parts of Europe.
精深阅读
Across much of Spain on Tuesday morning, a thin layer (层) of red dust coated everything outside. From streets to sidewalks to balconies, everything was covered with a layer of dust. As the sun rose, the dust in the air turned the skies in some cities a strange orange. The cause of the dust and unusual sky colour wasn't a forest fire, but dust from the Sahara Desert.
Every year, a large cloud of dust rises from the Sahara Desert. It's called the Saharan Air Layer. Usually, it crosses the Atlantic Ocean as part of a natural cycle that helps develop farmland and beaches in Central and South America.
But sometimes, depending on the weather, the layer of dust gets forced to the north. Large sandstorms in northern Africa lift sand and dust into the air, where it gets blown towards Spain. Though the particles (微粒) in the air come from sand, they're much more like dust than sand at a beach.
These kinds of storms aren't unknown in Spain. In fact, it has a special name. It's called a “calima”. This calima is so large that it can be seen from space. A NASA scientist who studies weather in the atmosphere says it's like a river of dust in the air. That river of dust has met with a river of wet air driven by strong winds.
