A
Scream if you want to charge your phone.Thanks to the wonders of science，riders on Thorpe Park’s new attraction，a roller coaster called The Walking Dead，can now power their smart phones by screaming loudly.That’s because there are devices on it that “harvest kinetic energy(動能)”．The park conducted research which shows that people’s biggest fear is their phones running out of battery，so the device should prove popular.
All of the Walking Dead’s carriages have been fitted with the harvesting devices，which not only harvest the energy of screams，but that from g-force and vibrations(震動) of the ride，too.It is stored in a power management unit.The unit is then removed from the carriages by staff and deposited into an on-site mobile charging point where ride goers will charge their devices.The 188mm×188mm×67mm energy harvester is jet black，blending into its dark and mysterious surroundings on the roller coaster themed around the global TV shows.
Thorpe Park said：“If thrill-seekers are brave enough to open their eyes，they will see a set of LED lights in blood red powering up as guests’ screams become louder...throughout the 90-second experience.”
Designed and installed by researchers at Queen Mary University of London and the engineering team at Thorpe Park Resort，the technology took three months to be carried out，from design to installation.It will be available at the theme park for an initial trial period.
Thorpe Park Resort’s John Burton，who came up with the ride concept，said，“The Walking Dead’s ride is 15 out of 10 on the scare factor scale，so it makes sense to be able to combine and use the power of our visitors’ screams and the ride’s vibrations to help solve a problem each and every one of us faces—losing the charge on our mobiles when we’re on a day out.”
Dr Joe Briscoe，School of Engineering and Materials Science at Queen Mary University of London，said，“This is an exciting concept that will undoubtedly be used more frequently in the future.The system uses a mini energy harvester to capture the kinetic energy，transferring it to a separate electrical circuit and storage unit，which is enough to charge a mobile phone.”
語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了一項技術——英國索普公園通過收集游客尖叫產生的聲能和過山車滑行產生的重力及震動的能量來方便游客給手機充電。
1．Where could ride goers easily get their phones charged in Thorpe Park
A．At the carriage.
B．At the charging point.
C．At the LED light.
D．At the energy harvester.
答案　B
解析　細節理解題。根據第二段中“...and deposited into an on-site mobile charging point where ride goers will charge their devices.”可知，乘客可以在充電點給手機充電，故選B。
2．Why does John Burton consider the concept workable
A．Because a mini energy harvester is applied.
B．Because The Walking Dead is most frightening.
C．Because the park has quite a number of scary rides.
D．Because almost everyone is faced with power failure.
答案　C
解析　推理判斷題。根據倒數第二段內容可知，游樂園里有很多驚嚇系數很高的游樂設施，這樣游客的尖叫聲就會和游樂設施的震動結合起來產生能量來為手機充電，故選C。
3．What’s Dr Joe Briscoe’s attitude toward the technology
A．Favorable. B．Doubtful.
C．Neutral. D．Disapproving.
答案　A
解析　觀點態度題。根據最后一段中的“Dr Joe Briscoe...said，‘This is an exciting concept that will undoubtedly be used more frequently in the future...’”可知，喬·布里斯科博士對這項技術的前景很樂觀，應該是支持這項技術，故選A。
4．What’s the main idea of the text
A．A new battery for powering your phone is invented.
B．The traditional way of charging your phone is on the way out.

B(此篇精讀)
Yellowstone National Park withdrew more than 10,000 visitors after a flash flood hit the park.Houses，roads and bridges were washed away，and the park’s gateway communities were cut off from roads.Even though scientists and land managers are caught off guard by the flood，unseen in 100 years of recorded history，they recognize the similarities between the situation their data predicted and the flood.They just didn’t expect the flood would occur this year.
While it will take more research to confirm if climate change made this flood event more extreme，the 2021 Greater Yellowstone Climate Assessment predicts significant changes in precipitation(降水)，including when it will arrive and what forms it will take.Scientists expect more spring rain and less winter snow.The assessment also predicts increasing annual precipitation in Yellowstone National Park.
Changes have been already documented in the assessment.Since 1950，spring precipitation in the region has increased by 17－23 percent in April and May.Snowfall has dwindled even as overall annual precipitation has increased.That means rather than slowly increasing meltwater flowing to valleys during the summer months，rain tends to combine with melting snow，causing riskier events like the recent flood.
June precipitation this year is now at more than 400 percent above average in the parts of Montana and Wyoming that include Yellowstone National Park.And as temperatures rise，these rain-on-snow events are projected to become more frequent at higher elevations(海拔) in western North America，while lower snowpack will make them less frequent at low elevations.
Bruce Stein，chief scientist of the National Wildlife Federation，said several years ago，when he trained Yellowstone employees for climate planning，they focused on the features that drew visitors to the park—like bison and wolves.Roads，bridges，and houses being washed away were out of their consideration.“I think it’s urgent and necessary for the park to look ahead to plan for different situations that could possibly happen as the climate changes，” said Stein.
語篇解讀　這是一篇說明文。文章主要講述了美國黃石國家公園遭遇百年不遇的洪水，給公園造成極大破壞，并闡釋了這種現象產生的可能原因。
5．What can we learn about the flood
A．It’s the most destructive in history.
B．It has been predicted with certainty.
C．It was worsened by changes in the weather.
D．It’s partly in line with scientists’ expectations.
答案　D
解析　細節理解題。根據第一段的“...they recognize the similarities between the situation their data predicted and the flood.They just didn’t expect the flood would occur this year.”可知，科學家們發現這次洪災與他們之前通過數據預測的情況有一定的相似性，他們只是沒預料到今年會發生洪水。由此可知，這次洪災在一定程度上符合科學家的預期。故選D。
6．What does the underlined word “dwindled” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Varied. B．Balanced.
C．Doubled. D．Reduced.
答案　D
解析　詞義猜測題。根據畫線詞后的“That means rather than slowly increasing meltwater flowing to valleys during the summer months，rain tends to combine with melting snow”可知，這意味著，在夏季的幾個月里，不是緩慢增加的雪融水流到山谷中，而是降雨與融化的雪水結合在一起。再結合第二段中的“Scientists expect more spring rain and less winter snow.”可知，畫線詞所在句表示在全年降水量增加的同時，降雪量卻在減少。畫線詞意為“減少”，故選D。
7．What does Stein think the park should do next
A．Take preventative measures.
B．Rebuild damaged structures.
C．Focus on its attractive features.
D．Receive training in climate planning.
答案　A
解析　推理判斷題。根據最后一段中Stein所說的話“I think it’s urgent and necessary for the park to look ahead to plan for different situations that could possibly happen as the climate changes”可知，Stein認為黃石國家公園必須向前看，為氣候變化可能引發的不同情況做好計劃，這是非常緊迫和必要的。也就是說，黃石國家公園應該做到防患于未然。故選A。
8．Which is the best title of the text
A．Yellowstone Area：Is It More at Risk of Flood
B．Yellowstone Flooding：Why Does It Happen Now
C．Climate Planning：Why Is It Important to Yellowstone
D．Climate Change：Does It Mean More Rain for Yellowstone
答案　B
解析　標題歸納題。綜觀全文可知，文章前兩段提到黃石國家公園遭遇百年不遇的洪水，給公園造成極大破壞，雖然評估報告預測黃石國家公園的降雨量會增加，但是科學家們沒料到今年會發生洪水。第三至五段重點闡釋了這種現象產生的可能原因，如降雨量增加而降雪量減少、公園的氣候規劃不完善等。因此B項“黃石洪水：為什么現在發生？”為最佳標題。故選B。
[詞匯積累] 1．withdraw v．撤離 2．assess v．評價，評定→assessment n．評估，評價 3．project熟義：n.項目；計劃；專題研究　生義(文義)：v.預計 [句式分析] And as temperatures rise，these rain-on-snow events are projected to become more frequent at higher elevations in western North America，while lower snowpack will make them less frequent at low elevations. 分析：此句為并列復合句。as引導時間狀語從句；while 意為“然而”，引導并列句。 翻譯：隨著氣溫的升高，預計在北美西部的高海拔地區，這些雨雪事件將變得更加頻繁，而在低海拔地區，積雪減少將使它們發生的頻率降低。

Scream if you want to charge your phone.Thanks to the wonders of science，riders on Thorpe Park’s new attraction，a roller coaster called The Walking Dead，can now power their smart phones by screaming loudly.That’s because there are devices on it that “harvest kinetic energy(動能)”.The park conducted research which shows that people’s biggest fear is their phones running out of battery，so the device should prove popular.
語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了一項技術——英國索普公園通過收集游客尖叫產生的聲能和過山車滑行產生的重力及震動的能量來方便游客給手機充電。
Ⅲ.主題語篇閱讀
All of the Walking Dead’s carriages have been fitted with the harvesting devices，which not only harvest the energy of screams，but that from g-force and vibrations(震動) of the ride，too.It is stored in a power management unit.The unit is then removed from the carriages by staff and deposited into an on-site mobile charging point where ride goers will charge their devices.The 188mm×188mm×67mm energy harvester is jet black，blending into its dark and mysterious surroundings on the roller coaster themed around the global TV shows.
Thorpe Park said：“If thrill-seekers are brave enough to open their eyes，they will see a set of LED lights in blood red powering up as guests’ screams become louder...throughout the 90-second experience.”
Designed and installed by researchers at Queen Mary University of London and the engineering team at Thorpe Park Resort，the technology took three months to be carried out，from design to installation.It will be available at the theme park for an initial trial period.
Thorpe Park Resort’s John Burton，who came up with the ride concept，said，“The Walking Dead’s ride is 15 out of 10 on the scare factor scale，so it makes sense to be able to combine and use the power of our visitors’ screams and the ride’s vibrations to help solve a problem each and every one of us faces—losing the charge on our mobiles when we’re on a day out.”
Dr Joe Briscoe，School of Engineering and Materials Science at Queen Mary University of London，said，“This is an exciting concept that will undoubtedly be used more frequently in the future.The system uses a mini energy harvester to capture the kinetic energy，transferring it to a separate electrical circuit and storage unit，which is enough to charge a mobile phone.”
1.Where could ride goers easily get their phones charged in Thorpe Park
A.At the carriage.
B.At the charging point.
C.At the LED light.
D.At the energy harvester.
√
細節理解題。根據第二段中“...and deposited into an on-site mobile charging point where ride goers will charge their devices.”可知，乘客可以在充電點給手機充電，故選B。
解析
2.Why does John Burton consider the concept workable
A.Because a mini energy harvester is applied.
B.Because The Walking Dead is most frightening.
C.Because the park has quite a number of scary rides.
D.Because almost everyone is faced with power failure.
√
推理判斷題。根據倒數第二段內容可知，游樂園里有很多驚嚇系數很高的游樂設施，這樣游客的尖叫聲就會和游樂設施的震動結合起來產生能量來為手機充電，故選C。
解析
3.What’s Dr Joe Briscoe’s attitude toward the technology
A.Favorable. B.Doubtful.
C.Neutral. D.Disapproving.
觀點態度題。根據最后一段中的“Dr Joe Briscoe...said，‘This is an exciting concept that will undoubtedly be used more frequently in the future...’”可知，喬·布里斯科博士對這項技術的前景很樂觀，應該是支持這項技術，故選A。
解析

Yellowstone National Park withdrew more than 10,000 visitors after a flash flood hit the park.Houses，roads and bridges were washed away，
語篇解讀　這是一篇說明文。文章主要講述了美國黃石國家公園遭遇百年不遇的洪水，給公園造成極大破壞，并闡釋了這種現象產生的可能原因。
and the park’s gateway communities were cut off from roads.Even though scientists and land managers are caught off guard by the flood，unseen in 100 years of recorded history，they recognize the similarities between the situation their data predicted and the flood.They just didn’t expect the flood would occur this year.
While it will take more research to confirm if climate change made this flood event more extreme，the 2021 Greater Yellowstone Climate Assessment predicts significant changes in precipitation(降水)，including when it will arrive and what forms it will take.Scientists expect more spring rain and less winter snow.The assessment also predicts increasing annual precipitation in Yellowstone National Park.
Changes have been already documented in the assessment.Since 1950，spring precipitation in the region has increased by 17－23 percent in April and May.Snowfall has dwindled even as overall annual precipitation has increased.That means rather than slowly increasing meltwater flowing to valleys during the summer months，rain tends to combine with melting snow，causing riskier events like the recent flood.
June precipitation this year is now at more than 400 percent above average in the parts of Montana and Wyoming that include Yellowstone National Park.And as temperatures rise，these rain-on-snow events are projected to become more frequent at higher elevations(海拔) in western North America，while lower snowpack will make them less frequent at low elevations.
Bruce Stein，chief scientist of the National Wildlife Federation，said several years ago，when he trained Yellowstone employees for climate planning，they focused on the features that drew visitors to the park—like bison and wolves.Roads，bridges，and houses being washed away were out of their consideration.“I think it’s urgent and necessary for the park to look ahead to plan for different situations that could possibly happen as the climate changes，” said Stein.
5.What can we learn about the flood
A.It’s the most destructive in history.
B.It has been predicted with certainty.
C.It was worsened by changes in the weather.
D.It’s partly in line with scientists’ expectations.
√
細節理解題。根據第一段的“...they recognize the similarities between the situation their data predicted and the flood.They just didn’t expect the flood would occur this year.”可知，科學家們發現這次洪災與他們之前通過數據預測的情況有一定的相似性，他們只是沒預料到今年會發生洪水。由此可知，這次洪災在一定程度上符合科學家的預期。故選D。
解析
6.What does the underlined word “dwindled” in paragraph 3 mean
A.Varied. B.Balanced.
C.Doubled. D.Reduced.
√
詞義猜測題。根據畫線詞后的“That means rather than slowly increasing meltwater flowing to valleys during the summer months，rain tends to combine with melting snow”可知，這意味著，在夏季的幾個月里，不是緩慢增加的雪融水流到山谷中，而是降雨與融化的雪水結合在一起。再結合第二段中的“Scientists expect more spring rain and less winter snow.”可知，畫線詞所在句表示在全年降水量增加的同時，降雪量卻在減少。畫線詞意為“減少”，故選D。
解析
7.What does Stein think the park should do next
A.Take preventative measures.
B.Rebuild damaged structures.
C.Focus on its attractive features.
D.Receive training in climate planning.
√
推理判斷題。根據最后一段中Stein所說的話“I think it’s urgent and necessary for the park to look ahead to plan for different situations that could possibly happen as the climate changes”可知，Stein認為黃石國家公園必須向前看，為氣候變化可能引發的不同情況做好計劃，這是非常緊迫和必要的。也就是說，黃石國家公園應該做到防患于未然。故選A。
解析
8.Which is the best title of the text
A.Yellowstone Area：Is It More at Risk of Flood
B.Yellowstone Flooding：Why Does It Happen Now
C.Climate Planning：Why Is It Important to Yellowstone
D.Climate Change：Does It Mean More Rain for Yellowstone
√
標題歸納題。綜觀全文可知，文章前兩段提到黃石國家公園遭遇百年不遇的洪水，給公園造成極大破壞，雖然評估報告預測黃石國家公園的降雨量會增加，但是科學家們沒料到今年會發生洪水。第三至五段重點闡釋了這種現象產生的可能原因，如降雨量增加而降雪量減少、公園的氣候規劃不完善等。因此B項“黃石洪水：為什么現在發生？”為最佳標題。故選B。
解析
1.withdraw v.撤離
2.assess v.評價，評定→assessment n.評估，評價
3.project熟義：n.項目；計劃；專題研究　生義(文義)：v.預計

And as temperatures rise，these rain-on-snow events are projected to become more frequent at higher elevations in western North America，while lower snowpack will make them less frequent at low elevations.

√
上文“One of the best ways to connect with nature is to make it come to you.”說明接近自然的最好方法之一是讓自然來到你身邊，下文“You can also fill some tubs(盆) with flowers to attract butterflies.”提出另一項建議，即用花填滿花盆來吸引蝴蝶，因此推斷空格處應該也是提出一項建議，D項“你可以在陽臺上或窗戶邊放一個喂鳥器”符合語境。故選D。
解析

上文“If you’ve got a balcony(陽臺)，fill it with pots full of flowers.”提到種植一些花，又因下文的them可知，空格處應該代表種植某種植物，結合選項可知，C項“你也可以在陽臺上自己種蔬菜”符合語境，vegetables和flowers相對應，故選C。
解析

空格處是最后一句，根據上文“Use these tips for connecting with nature and living a more comfortable life in a big city.”可知，應該填寫一句總結性的話，E項“同時，這是改善你的健康和幸福感的一個極好的方法”符合語境，選項中的this指代“connecting with nature”，符合首尾呼應的原則，故選E。
