B．Light.C．Wild. D．Peaceful.答案C解析词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“evenjustafewmetersfromshore，hadpulledGardinerandAryaapart”可推知，当时的海浪非常凶猛。由此可知，画线词ferocious与wild(狂暴的)意思接近。故选C。2．Whatcanwelearnfromthepassage?A．BrassBellRestaurantrewardedTongaiwithsometips.B．Tongaididtherescueperfectlywithoutgettinganyscratch.C．GardinersucceededinwrappingthebeltaroundlittleArya.D．Gardinerwentspeciallytotherestauranttoexpresshergratitude.答案D解析细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“‘Irecentlywenttotherestauranttothankhim，’Gardinertoldlocalnews.”可知，Gardiner专门到那家餐馆去表达了她的谢意。故选D。3．WhichofthefollowingwordscanbestdescribeTongai?A．Warm-heartedandconfident.B．Outgoingandcurious.C．Quick-thinkingandcourageous.D．Talkativeandbrave.答案C解析推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Iimmediatelyranoutside，undressedmyself，anddivedintothewaterbecauseIsawachildgoinaswell”和倒数第二段中的“WearesothankfultoTongaiandthetouristmanwhoriskedtheirlivestosaveours”可知，当时的情况非常凶险，但是Tongai第一时间下水去营救。由此可知，Tongai思维敏捷，勇敢无畏。故选C。4．Whichofthefollowingwouldbethebesttitleforthetext?A．AnActofKindnessB．AHeroicDeedbytheSeaC．ASuddenWavetoHumansD．AnAdventurebytheSea答案B解析B(2023·浙江宁波高一期末)DuringtheCOP27climateconferenceinSharmelSheikh，Egypt，animportantdealon“lossanddamage”wasreached.ThiswasabigstepforwardbecauseatCOP26conferenceinGlasgow，Scotland，therewerenotalksonlossanddamageatall.Theplanisthatrichercountrieswillpaymoneyintoaspecialfundthatwillbeusedtohelppoorcountries.Lossanddamagemeansthedamagingimpactofclimatechangeondevelopingcountries.Fornearly30years，poorercountrieshavebeenaskingrichercountriesformoneytohelptoprotectcommunitiesfromtheeffectsofclimatechange.Richercountrieshaveproducedthemostgreenhousegases，butpoorercountriesareoftentheworstaffectedbyextremeweatherconditionsbecausetheyarelesswellequippedtofaceextremeclimateevents.Brazil’snewlyelectedPresidentLuizInacioLuladaSilvamadeaspeechaboutpreservingthelargestrainforestonEarth，theAmazon.Duringthelast50years，morethan17%oftheAmazonrainforesthasbeendestroyedtomakewayforfarmsandtowns.However，inhisspeech，Lulapromisedthattherewouldbezerodeforestation(伐树)intheAmazonby2030.Theconferencedidn’tjustfocusonworldleaders.Itbroughttogethermorethan45,000peopletodiscusshowclimatechangeisaffectingtheirlives.Climaterefugees(难民)alsohadtheirvoicesheard.TshilombofromtheKakumarefugeecampinKenyasaid，“Refugeesdon’tonlyfleebecauseofwarorconflict.It’salsoaboutdrought，theeffectsofclimatechange.”Somecountriesweren’thappywiththeoveralloutcomeofCOP27becausedecisionsweren’tmadeoncuttingtheuseoffossilfuels，suchascoal，gasandoil，etc.TheUKGovernment’sAlokSharmasaid，“I’mincrediblydisappointed.”However，thisdealwasagreatachievementfordevelopingcountries.SherryRehman，theclimateministerforPakistan，said，“Iamconfidentwehaveturnedacornerinhowweworktogethertoachieveclimategoals.”语篇解读本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了在埃及沙姆沙伊赫举行的COP27气候大会就“损失和损害”达成了一项重要协议。5．WhatisasuccessfuloutcomeoftheCOP27climateconference?A．Thedealonlossanddamage.B．Thedealonusingfossilfuels.C．Thedealonrainforestpreservation.D．Thedealonhelpingclimaterefugees.答案A解析细节理解题。根据第一段前两句可知，COP27气候大会的一项成果是关于损失和损害的协议。故选A。6．Whathasmadeitdifficultfordevelopingcountriestofightagainstclimatechange?A．Moregreenhousegases.B．Massivedeforestation.C．Shortageofmoneyandsupplies.D．Terribleweatherconditions.答案C解析推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，较贫穷的发展中国家需要较富裕的国家提供资金来抵御气候变化的影响，因为他们缺少先进的设施，由此可推知，是资金和物资短缺让发展中国家难以应对气候变化。故选C。7．Whatcanweinferfromparagraph3?A．Climatechangeisinfluencingpeople’slives.B．17%oftheAmazonrainforestwasdestroyed.C．Manyfactorsleadtotheappearanceofrefugees.D．TherewillbelessdeforestationintheAmazonby2030.答案C解析推理判断题。根据第三段中“Refugeesdon’tonlyfleebecauseofwarorconflict.It’salsoaboutdrought，theeffectsofclimatechange.”可知，难民不仅仅是因为战争或冲突而逃离，还受干旱、气候变化的影响，由此推知，许多因素导致难民的出现。故选C。8．WhatwouldSherryRehmanprobablyagreewith?A．Neverputofftilltomorrow.B．Manyhandsmakelightwork.C．Knowledgestartswithpractice.D．Nowayisimpossibletocourage.答案B解析推理判断题。根据最后一段中SherryRehman说的话可知，他认为，在如何通过共同努力实现气候目标方面人类已经取得了进展。由此推知SherryRehman会赞同B项“众人拾柴火焰高”这一说法。A项“今日事，今日毕”；C项“实践出真知”；D项“勇者无畏”。故选B。CWithhumansencroaching(侵入)moreandmoreonwildlifehabitats，animalsarefindingthatthebestwaytosurviveisn’ttopackupandmove—it’stoadapttothenightlife.Avarietyofpreviouslydaytimeanimalssuchasfoxes，deerandboarshavebecomeactiveatnighttoavoidhumanactivityoutoffear.Butthisnight-timeswitchcomeswithitsownrisks.Researcherslookedathow62speciesofanimalsonsixcontinentschangedtheirbehaviorinresponsetohumanactivitiessuchashunting，farming，anddevelopment.Thestudiesemployedvarioustechnologiestofollowtheanimals，fromGPStrackerstomotion-activatedcameras.Oncenightfalls，theanimalssurveyedbecamefarmoreactivethantheywerebeforehumansarrived，huntingandlookingforfoodinthedark.Forexample，animalsthatusedtosplittheiractivityevenly(平均地)betweendayandnighttypicallyincreasedtheirnight-timeactivityto68%.Theteamalsofoundtheanimalsrespondedsimilarlytothesehumanencroachments，regardlessofwhetherhumanactivitydirectlyaffectedthem.So，adeermightbecomemoreactiveatnightsimplybecauseitseeshumanshikingnearby，notbecauseit’sbeinghunted.Theresearchersbelievethesenight-timebehaviorsnotonlyallowhumansandanimalstocoexistmorepeacefully，theymaybeabletog
