I first realized that plastic was a serious matter for our planet during my travel in Western Australia. One day about 12 years ago, I stopped at a supermarket along the Coral Bay coast to buy some groceries. But the lady at the counter told me that the supermarket didn t sell any shopping bags to prevent plastic going into the ocean and help preserve the endangered turtles (海龜) living in that area. After a first reaction of surprise, I gathered all purchases in my arms and left, reflecting on what I had been told.
The experience in that trip made me more conscious of my impact and pushed me to adopt various habits to travel and live more sustainable. For example, I always carried a cotton bag when I went shopping.
My travel to Indonesia was another life-changing experience that strengthened my determination to turn to a zero-waste lifestyle. In Indonesia, finding safe drinkable water was always a challenge, so I traveled with my water bottle, managing to avoid almost entirely the use of plastic during my trip.
However, I was seriously struck by my stay on the Libaran Island, where a sustainable turtle conservation project was launched 10 years ago. Despite the big efforts by the project staff and the community at cleaning up the beaches and creatively reusing plastic, the shore was washed daily with tons of plastic coming from the tides. Walking on a carpet of plastic that almost prevented me from seeing the beach underneath was quite shocking.
Facing this global issue in person, I felt a sense of sadness and anger that soon turned into determination: to do as much as possible to reduce plastic in my life. Sometimes we might feel helpless in front of big problems, but we should be aware that small changes could actually make a difference step by step!

C.It met the islanders needs.　　　D.It aimed to prevent turtle attacks.

　　The grizzly bear (灰熊) is one of the many impressive and beautiful animals that can be found in Yellowstone National Park. Grizzlies hibernate (冬眠) during the winter, and this is when the baby bears are born. Consider it the chance of a lifetime if you can see a grizzly bear on your visit to the park, since these animals are not commonly seen by visitors.
Grizzlies in Yellowstone, usually weighing as much as 350-600 pounds, are omnivorous, feeding on other animals, pine nuts, grass, roots, and some fruits as well. They even eat dead bodies of some animals.
Although the snow is still deep in the park during March, mild sunny days become common. It is the time of year when the grizzlies of Yellowstone begin to get out of their hibernation places in search of water and food. Spring is also the time of year when bear mothers introduce their newborn babies to the outside world. A mother grizzly can be extremely dangerous. It is very important to remember that bears will defend the young bears from any danger.
In an effort to reduce the probability of a human-bear chance meeting, within Yellowstone National Park, certain areas that have higher degrees of bear activity are closed to off-road human activity in spring.
When you visit Yellowstone, stop by the visitor center in Mammoth, where the park will provide you with more specific information on bear activity at any given time.
The best way to avoid a bear attack is to take protective measures. First, always respect any closure sign for both your safety and the benefit of the bears. Second, always remember to make a noise to let any bear in the area know of your presence. If a bear is aware of your presence, it will usually leave the area immediately. However, if you disturb a bear, the chances of an attack are much greater.
The sense of smell for bears is among the best in the animal world. Another rule to remember is that when camping, hang your food from a tree 100 yards away from your camp. Never store food in your tent or close to where you will be sleeping.
5.Which word can best describe your chance to see a grizzly bear at Yellowstone
A.Fortunate.　　　B.Frightening.　　　C.Hopeful.　　　D.Regretful.
6.What does the writer use the underlined word “omnivorous” to describe in the second paragraph
A.The speed of attack.　　　B.The animal species.
C.The massive body size.　　　D.The food variety.
7.What is the best suggestion for you when visiting the park
A.Keep quiet when visiting the park.　　　B.Hang food away from your camps.
C.Touch the lovely baby bears softly.　　　D.Feed some food to the baby bears.
8.What is the writer s purpose of writing the passage
A.To introduce the grizzly.　　　B.To protect the grizzly bear.
C.To avoid a possible attack.　　　D.To make an advertisement.

Part 1　Starting out & Understanding ideas
基礎過關練
Ⅰ.1.massive　2.splendid　3.radiation　4.scenery
5.delicate
Ⅱ.1.concerns　考查名詞復數。句意:由于核污水排入海洋,如何保護生態環境成為最受關注的問題之一。among the top concerns最受關注的問題之一。
2.to　考查介詞。句意:21世紀的科技可以將新舊藝術的精華結合起來,幫助古代藝術煥發生機。bring...to life使……更生動;使蘇醒。
3.steadily　考查副詞。句意:隨著更多的國家認可中國在國際事務中的作用,中國的形象正在穩步提升。設空處修飾謂語is improving,應用副詞形式,故填steadily。
4.To prevent　考查非謂語動詞。句意:為了防止對環境的破壞,最近采取了一系列的措施。設空處作目的狀語,應用動詞不定式形式。首字母需大寫,故填To prevent。
5.wandering　考查非謂語動詞。句意:2014年,斯蒂芬妮從一家動物中心救出了弗林,此前它被發現時還是一只獨自在街上游蕩的小狗。句中a puppy與wander之間為主動關系,故用現在分詞作后置定語,故填wandering。
易錯歸因　　　該空易錯判為謂語動詞,事實上句中的as為介詞,意為“作為”,而不是連詞,且after引導的時間狀語從句中已有謂語was found,故此處應用非謂語動詞。
Ⅲ.1.at your leisure　2.such as　3.catch your eye
4.make sure　5.Thanks to
Ⅳ.1.The first team to finish
2.how to overcome the difficulty
3.bamboo is so strong that

Ⅰ.1.Sitting　考查現在分詞。分析句子可知,“　1　(sit) back in my seat”在句中作狀語,sit與其邏輯主語I之間是主動關系,所以用現在分詞形式作狀語。
2.steadily　考查副詞。設空處與前面的fast并列,修飾動詞runs,因此用副詞形式。
3.which　考查定語從句。句意:青藏鐵路歷時數年建成,它記錄了全中國人民克服最困難的挑戰的努力。設空處無提示詞,空前的句子意思完整,不缺成分,與后面的句子用逗號隔開,且空后句子缺少主語(謂語是is),由此可推測設空處引導非限制性定語從句。先行詞是the Qinghai-Tibet Railway,指物,設空處在從句中作主語,應用which引導該從句。
4.to catch　考查不定式。分析句子可知,該句中已有謂語is,故此處應用非謂語動詞。這里表示“第一個吸引我注意的地標是清水河大橋”,名詞landmark前面有序數詞first修飾,故此處應用不定式作后置定語。
5.were built　考查時態、語態和主謂一致。句意:為了防止對濕地和草原的破壞,格爾木和拉薩之間修建了675座橋梁。 本句敘述的是過去發生的事情,且bridges與build之間是被動關系,故應用一般過去時的被動語態;主語675 bridges表示復數概念,故填were built。
6.is　考查時態和主謂一致。句意:唐古拉站位于海拔五千多米處,是世界上海拔最高的火車站。此處表示客觀事實,應用一般現在時,主語Tanggula Station表單數意義,故填is。
7.healthy　考查形容詞。由空前的連系動詞stay可知,此處應用形容詞構成系表結構。
8.achievement　考查名詞。and為并列連詞, 連接前后兩個并列成分,句中and前面為名詞pride,故后面也應該用名詞achievement。
9.from　考查介詞。protect...from...意為“保護……免受……”。
10.an　考查冠詞。句意:這確實是一條非凡的“天路”。此處表示泛指,且 extraordinary 以元音音素開頭,故本空應用不定冠詞an。
Ⅱ.◎語篇解讀　本文是一篇新聞報道。文章介紹了超過11,000名科學家發出了警告,宣布地球進入“氣候緊急狀態”。
1.countries　考查名詞復數。句意:這些科學家代表了幾個研究領域,來自世界上的150個國家。根據空前的150可知,此處用名詞復數。故填countries。
2.earlier　考查副詞比較級。句意:他們批準了本月早些時候發表在《生物科學》刊物上的一份報告。此處指本月更早的時候,所以用副詞的比較級形式。故填earlier。
3.if　考查連詞。句意:它(報告)警告說,如果我們對影響氣候變化的人類活動不做出深刻而持久的改變,世界將面臨“無法估量的人類苦難”。此處是if引導的條件狀語從句,表示“如果”,故填if。
4.is called　考查時態、語態和主謂一致。句意:這份新報告被稱為“世界科學家對氣候緊急情況的警告”。該句描述客觀事實,句子主語The new report是第三人稱單數,且和動詞call之間是被動關系,應用一般現在時的被動語態。故填is called。
5.a　考查冠詞。a large group of意為“一大群”,后跟名詞復數。故填a。
6.talking　考查現在分詞。句意:這是第一次一大群科學家在談論氣候變化時共同使用“緊急”這個詞。此處是時間狀語從句的省略,省略了“主語+be動詞”,其中talk與其邏輯主語 scientists之間是主動關系,設空處應用現在分詞形式。故填talking。
7.to address　考查不定式。句意為“該研究稱:‘盡管全球氣候談判已經進行了40年……但我們基本上照常開展業務,在很大程度上未能解決這一困境?！眆ail to do sth.意為“未能做某事”。故填to address。
8.with　考查介詞。句意:該報告確定了世界需要立即處理的六個領域。deal with意為“解決,處理”。故填with。
9.their　考查代詞。句意:科學家們呼吁各國更有效地利用能源,減少化石燃料的使用。空后use是名詞,應用形容詞性物主代詞修飾。故填their。
10.natural　考查形容詞。句意:他們建議立法者批準對燃燒煤炭、石油和天然氣等碳基燃料征稅。空后的gas是名詞,應用形容詞修飾,所給詞nature是名詞,其形容詞形式是natural。
【高頻詞匯】　1.approve v.批準;通過　2.shift n.改變;變換　3.as usual 照常　4.appeal to 呼吁　5.efficiently adv.高效地　
【熟詞生義】　address vt.設法解決;處理;對付
長難句　原句　It warns that the world will face “untold human suffering” if we do not make deep and lasting shifts in human activities that influence climate change.
分析　本句為主從復合句。第一個that引導賓語從句,if引導條件狀語從句,第二個that引導定語從句,修飾先行詞human activities。
譯文　它(報告)警告說,如果我們對影響氣候變化的人類活動不做出深刻而持久的改變,世界將面臨“無法估量的人類苦難”。
Ⅲ.A
◎語篇解讀　本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了作者在旅行中意識到塑料對地球的影響,特別是對海龜的影響,從而加強了堅持零浪費生活方式的決心,并呼吁大家從自己做起,逐步減少塑料的使用。
1.D　推理判斷題。根據文章第一段可知,文章一開始作者回憶起12年前在西澳大利亞旅行中的一次購物經歷,這個經歷讓作者第一次意識到塑料對地球的影響。由此推知,作者用回憶過去的購物經歷引出了文章的話題。故選D。
2.C　細節理解題。根據第二段“The experience in that trip...when I went shopping.(那次旅行中的經歷讓我更加在意自己的影響,并促使我養成了各種旅行習慣和過更可持續的生活。例如,當我去購物時我總是帶著一個棉布袋。)”可知,經過這次旅行,作者決定過一種綠色的生活。故選C。
3.B　推理判斷題。根據第四段中“Despite the big efforts by the project staff and the community at cleaning up the beaches and creatively reusing plastic, the shore was washed daily with tons of plastic coming from the tides.(盡管項目工作人員和社區在清理海灘和創造性地重復利用塑料方面做出了巨大努力,但海岸每天都被潮汐帶來的成噸的塑料沖刷著。)”可知,該項目收效甚微,即作用不大。故選B。
4.B　推理判斷題。根據最后一段中作者面對這個全球問題的情感變化:a sense of sadness and anger→determination: to do as much as possible to reduce plastic in my life→feel helpless in front of big problems→be aware that small changes could actually make a difference step by step可推知,作者認為塑料問題一定是可以解決的。故選B。
【高頻詞匯】　1.preserve v.保護;維護　2.reflect on仔細思考　3.strengthen v.加強;增強　4.launch v.開始從事,發起,發動(尤指有組織的活動)　5.prevent sb. from doing sth.阻止某人做某事　6.make a difference有影響;產生變化
【差距詞匯】　1.conscious adj.意識到的,在意的
2.sustainable adj.可持續的
B
◎語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了黃石公園里灰熊的生活習性以及游覽時如何避免被灰熊襲擊。
5.A　推理判斷題。根據第一段中的“Consider it the chance of a lifetime if you can see a grizzly bear on your visit to the park, since these animals are not commonly seen by visitors.”可知,游客不?？吹交倚?因此看到灰熊是幸運的。故選A。
6.D　詞義猜測題。根據畫線詞后的“feeding on other animals, pine nuts, grass, roots, and some fruits as well. They even eat dead bodies of some animals.”可知,黃石公園的灰熊吃的食物種類很多,屬于雜食性動物。所以,omnivorous用以描述灰熊所吃食物的多樣性。故選D。
易錯歸因　　　本題易根據畫線詞前邊的“weighing as much as 350-600 pounds”而錯選C項。“usually weighing as much as 350-600 pounds”是“Grizzlies”的定語,與“omnivorous”沒有直接聯系,“omnivorous”后邊的“feeding on other animals, pine nuts, grass, roots, and some fruits as well”才是對“omnivorous”的解釋,且文中沒有明確說灰熊的體形龐大,故排除C項。
7.B　細節理解題。根據第七段中的“Another rule to remember is that when camping, hang your food from a tree 100 yards away from your camp.”可知,參觀黃石公園時,要把食物掛在遠離營地的地方。故選B。
8.C　推理判斷題。文章的前三段介紹了灰熊的生活習性;第四、五、六、七段尤其是第六段中的“The best way to avoid a bear attack is to take protective measures.(避免被灰熊襲擊的最好辦法是采取保護措施。)”說明灰熊對來黃石公園的游客而言是危險的,并且后面介紹了如何規避危險。由此可知,作者寫這篇文章的目的是避免可能發生的灰熊襲擊,從而規避危險。故選C。
易錯歸因　　　本題易錯選A項。本文確實介紹了灰熊,但介紹灰熊不是作者的最終目的,文章的后半部分著重講了如何避免被灰熊襲擊,文章的落腳點也是這一內容,作者介紹灰熊是為后邊介紹避免被灰熊襲擊的建議作鋪墊。因此排除A項。
【高頻詞匯】　　1.impressive adj.給人深刻印象的
2.mild adj.溫和的;和善的;輕微的　3.probability n.可能性　4.specific adj.具體的;特定的　5.protective adj.保護的　6.presence n.在場;出席;存在
長難句　原句　When you visit Yellowstone, stop by the visitor center in Mammoth, where the park will provide you with more specific information on bear activity at any given time.
分析　本句是一個主從復合句。“When you visit Yellowstone”是When引導的時間狀語從句;“stop by the visitor center in Mammoth”是祈使句;“where the park will...any given time”是where引導的定語從句,修飾先行詞the visitor center in Mammoth。
譯文　當你游覽黃石公園時,可以順路去一下在Mammoth的游客中心,在那里,公園將為你提供更多關于熊在任何特定時間活動的具體的信息。
