50.the本文为记叙文。随着全球变暖、海平面上升和自然灾害的影响越来越严重，一些地方社区正在采取行动。其中包括佛罗里达州的一个社区在保护沿海城市免受海平面上升的危险方面取得了成功。虽然一些佛罗里达州的政府官员不确定气候是会变热还是变冷，但住在那儿的人们，提出了解决这个问题的方法。唯有时间才能证明一切是否方法有效。【41题详解】考查语境。句意：随着全球变暖的影响，海平面上升和自然灾害比以往更加严重。根据前面的比较级“moreserious”，可知，要填than，故填than。【42题详解】考查定语从句。句意：其中包括佛罗里达州的一个社区，当地人和政府官员在证明他们在保护沿海城市免受海平面上升的危险方面取得了成功。分析句子可知，onecommunity是先行词，在定语从句中作状语，即在这个社会里，作状语，所以要用关系副词where。【43题详解】考查形容词作定语。句意：当地人和政府官员正在证明在保护沿海城市免受海平面上升的危险是成功的。分析句子可知，本句中的coast在句中作定语，修饰名词cities，所以要用形容词coastal。【44题详解】考查名词的复数。句意：社区研究了海平面会上升多少，并以此提出了解决问题的方法。名词way是可数名词，前面没有限定词，因此要用复数。因此填ways。【45题详解】考查固定搭配。句意:它已经说服州政府禁止海岸线附近开发新的土地，并建议在海滩上建造沙丘。persuadesb.todosth.为固定搭配，意为“禁止某人做某事”，因此此处填toban。【46题详解】考查副词作状语。句意：她所在州的27个水务部门无法就联合行动达成一致，这一点逐渐清楚了。gradual在句中修饰形容词clear，修饰形容词要用副词，故用副词gradually。【47题详解】考查比较级。句意：尽管一些佛罗里达州的政府官员不知道气候是会变热还是变冷。根据前面的“becomehotteror__”，可知要用比较级，故填colder。【48题详解】考查非谓语。句意：生活在这些地方的人们肯定保护他们的社区是必要的。分析句子thepeopleliving(live)intheselocationsarecertainoftheneedtoprotecttheircommunities可知，本句的主语是thepeople，arecertain是表语，(live)intheselocations在句中修饰主语，thepeople与live二者是主谓关系，要用动词的ing形式，故填living。【49题详解】考查谓语动词。句意：目前，在有限的预算下，想出应对气候变化影响的方法是一个紧迫的问题。分析句子可知，本句的主语comingupwithways，动词的ing形式做主语时，谓语动词要用单数，因此此处的谓语动词be要用is。【50题详解】考查冠词及固定用法。句意：只有时间才能证明这些沿海社区最终是否会成功。intheend为固定搭配，意为“最终”，故填the。三、阅读理解19.阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Mostpeople,whentheytraveltospace,wouldliketostayinorbitforafewdaysofmore.Andthisstandstoreason,ifyou’repaying$20,000foryourtriptoorbit!Strainorderfortourismtoreachitsfullpotentialthere’sgoingtobeaneedfororbitalaccommodation—orspacehotels.Whatwouldaspacehotelactuallybeliketovisit?Hotelsinorbitwilloffertheservicesyouexpectfromahotel—privaterooms,meals,bars.Butthey’llalsooffertwouniqueexperiences:impressiveviews—ofEarthandspace—andtheendlessentertainmentoflivinginzerogravity—includingsportsandotheractivitiesthatmakeuseofthis.
