The north magnetic pole (磁极)is no longer a resident of Canada. It has drifted across the Canadian Arctic and is now angling toward Siberia. 专题 三 │ 真题再现 Not to be confused with the geographic North Pole—the northern extremity of the Earth’s axis(地轴),the north magnetic pole (where the Earth’s magnetic field is directed downward)is moving due to natural changes in the Earth’s magnetic field, a process that originates about 3, 000 kilometers below our feet, in the outer core(核心)of the planet. But scientists are now noticing that the magnetic pole has picked up its pace. 专题 三 │ 真题再现 Over the past century, the pole has been migrating at an average speed of about 10 kilometers per year, says Larry Newitt, head of Geomagnetic Laboratory at Natural Resources Canada in Ottawa. Since the 1970s, this speed has increased to about 50 kilometers per year.
专题 三 │ 真题再现 Scientists are wondering why the speed is increasing, says Newitt. One hypothesis (假说)relates it to “magnetic jerks”, sudden shifts (变化)in the rate of change of the magnetic field. There have been three jerks in the past four decades, each one correlating to an increase in speed. 专题 三 │ 真题再现 If the north magnetic pole continues at its current rate, it could reach Siberia by 2056.
“For most of recorded history, the pole has been a part of Canada, and now it’s not,” says Newitt. It may be a blow to our collective psyche, but other than that, it doesn’t have a major effect on most people’s existence. 专题 三 │ 真题再现 1.Find in the passage a word closest in meaning to the underlined word “angling”.

_________________________________________________专题 三 │ 真题再现 【文章大意】 本文为新闻报道。报道北磁极向西伯利亚方向移动的原因、移动的速度及其影响。
1.Moving/Migrating. 通过理解画线词“angling”所在的句子“It has drifted across the Canadian Arctic and is now angling toward Siberia.”,可判断其关键词是“It(= The north magnetic pole)”与“Siberia”,即:北磁极正朝西伯利亚方向“angling”;专题 三 │ 真题再现 再根据“The north magnetic pole ”不难在第二段找到信息句“the north magnetic pole is moving due to natural changes in the Earth’s magnetic field”和第三段找到“the pole has been migrating at an average speed of about 10 kilometers per year”,从而判断答案为“Moving或Migrating”。专题 三 │ 真题再现 2.It could reach Siberia. 抓住关键词“the middle of the 21 century”可在倒数第二段找到信息句“If the north magnetic pole continues at its current rate, it could reach Siberia by 2056”,从而可以判断作答。
3.The north magnetic pole is moving faster. 全文主题句为首段中的“It has drifted across the Canadian Arctic and is now angling toward Siberia.”,由下文语义逻辑关系可以推断angling即为“移动”之意,再结合全文内容稍加归纳便可归纳作答。专题 三 │ 专题预测 (一)

Many of the problems facing today’s world aren’t news to us. The environment is in dire need of help because it’s being damaged, hunger is widespread throughout the world, and workers in the Third World Countries are continuously being exploited. Therefore, individuals across the globe need to band(团结)together for a cause and use their collective efforts to make all the difference in the world.专题 三 │ 专题预测 For instance, one person recycling a can or a bottle doesn’t seem like much. But if every household in a given city was to recycle and conserve energy, that city could make a huge positive impact on environmental damage. Similarly, there are countless ways to help fight world hunger—whether it’s to donate money to a dedicated worldwide charity, donate canned goods to your local charity, or even make lifestyle changes like going vegetarian. World hunger is a massive problem—but it doesn’t mean individuals themselves can’t make a difference. 专题 三 │ 专题预测 Worker exploitation is another huge problem. All across the world—particularly in the Third World Countries—workers are forced to labor long hours, with close to no pay. Yet these workers continue to show up to such a way of life, because they have no other options. 专题 三 │ 专题预测 So, how can people like us help fight such a big problem? Simply raising awareness of the products you buy in stores—from clothing to food—is a massive start. For example, if you see two similar products side by side in a food shop, but one of them is labeled “fair trade”, you’ll know immediately that the workers who labored to produce that product were given a fair price for their goods. And true, fair trade products might cost a little bit more, but buying them is a significant start to help fight worker exploitation. 专题 三 │ 专题预测 In short, each of us should be socially conscious to make a difference to widespread social problems.
