D.Strong-willedandcaring.【答案】4.A5.C6.C7.D【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文，讲述了25岁的AnaVictoriaEspino成为世界上首位患有唐氏综合征的律师的故事。她在墨西哥萨卡特卡斯自治大学法学院学习五年后获得了法律学位，并打算利用自己的法律知识改善残疾人的条件。尽管在申请大学时遇到了障碍，但她得到了一位教授的帮助，完成了学业。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据文章最后一段AnaVictoriaEspino的话：“IamfanaticalaboutthelawandIwanttoensureallpeoplewholivewithadisabilitycanoccupydecision-makingspacestocontributetoimprovingtheirconditions(我热衷于法律，并希望确保所有残障人士都能参与决策，以改善他们的生活条件)”可知，她希望帮助残疾人。故选A项。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第四段“However,theschool’sheadmasterrefusedherapplicationdespiteherexcellentgradesintheexam,becausetheschoollackedtheconditionsforapersonwithDownsyndrome(然而，尽管她在考试中取得了优异的成绩，学校的校长还是拒绝了她的申请，因为学校缺乏接纳唐氏综合症患者的条件)”可知，她最初申请大学时被学校拒绝了。故选C项。【6题详解】词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“IamfanaticalaboutthelawandIwanttoensureallpeoplewholivewithadisabilitycanoccupydecision-makingspacestocontributetoimprovingtheirconditions(我fanatical法律，并希望确保所有残障人士都能参与决策，以改善他们的生活条件)”可知作者希望确保所有残障人士都能参与决策，以改善他们的生活条件，可以推测出，作者热衷于法律。所以“fanatical”的意思是“充满热情的”。故选C项。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中“However,ratherthandefendingpeopleinthecourtoflaw,Espinoaimstouseherlegalknowledgetoimproveconditionsforpeoplewithdisabilities(然而，埃斯皮诺的目标不是在法庭上为人们辩护，而是利用她的法律知识改善残疾人的生活条件)”以及最后一段“IamfanaticalaboutthelawandIwanttoensureallpeoplewholivewithadisabilitycanoccupydecision-makingspacestocontributetoimprovingtheirconditions(我热衷于法律，并希望确保所有残障人士都能参与决策，以改善他们的生活条件)”，可知埃斯皮诺的目标不是在法庭上为人们辩护，而是利用她的法律知识改善残疾人的生活条件，她热衷于法律，并希望确保所有残障人士都能参与决策，以改善他们的生活条件，可以推理出她是一个意志坚强且富有爱心的人。故选D项。CIn1973,theNationalHurricaneCenterintroducedtheSaffir-Simpsonscale(createdbyHerbertSaffirandRobertSimpson),afive-categoryratingsystemthatclassifiedhurricanesbywindintensity.AtthebottomofthescalewasCategory1,forstormswithsustainedwindsof74to95mph.AtthetopwasCategory5,fordisasterswithwindsof157mphormore.Inthehalf-centurysincethescalefirstappeared,landandoceantemperatureshavesteadilyrisenasaresultofgreenhousegasemissions(排放).Hurricaneshavebecomemoreintense,withstrongerwindsandheavierrainfall.Withdisastrousstormsregularlyblowingpast157mph,somescientistsargue,theSaffir-Simpsonscalenolongerconveysthethreatthebiggesthurricanespresent.ThestrongesthurricanerecordedoverthePacificOceanhasasustainedwindof215mph.“That’sfasterthanaracingcar.It’sanewanddangerousworld,”saidMichaelF.Wehner,aco-authorofaCategory6paper.“TheSaffir-Simpsonscaleisnotallthatgoodforwarningthepublicofthedangerofastorm,”Wehnersaid.Thecategoryscalemeasuresonlysustainedwindspeeds,whichisjustoneofthethreatsamajorstormpresents.Therestarestormsurges(风暴潮),floodingandbigtides.ButtheNationalHurricaneCenterhasnoplanstointroduceaCategory6,primarilybecauseitisalreadytrying“tonotemphasizethescaleverymuch,”saidBrennan,theNationalHurricaneCenterdirector.Othermeteorologistssaidthat’stherightcall.“Idon’tseethevalueinitatthistime.”Simplisticastheyare,HerbertSaffirandRobertSimpson’scategoriesarethefirstthingsmanypeoplethinkofwhentheytrytograspthescaleofastorm.Inthatsense,thescale’spersistence(持续存在)overtheyearshelpspeopleunderstandhowmuchtheclimatehaschangedsinceitsintroduction.“WhattheSaffir-Simpsonscaleisgoodforisquantifying,showingthatthemostintensestormsarebecomingmoreintensebecauseofclimatechange,”Wehnersaid.“It’snotlikeitusedtobe.”8.WhydoesWehnersuggestanewratingsystem?A.Todescribemoreintensehurricanes.B.Tocontrolgreenhousegasemissions.C.Toavoidthethreatofhurricanestimely.D.Tobetterunderstandthenatureofhurricanes.9.WhatdoesBrennanthinkoftheCategory6?A.Primary.

1973年，国家飓风中心引入了萨菲尔-辛普森等级量表（由赫伯特·萨菲尔和罗伯特-辛普森创建），这是一个根据风力强度对飓风进行分类的五类评级系统。)”指出了1973年，国家飓风中心引入了萨菲尔-辛普森等级量表，文章二、三段和第四段集中指出自这种评价首次出现以来的半个世纪里，由于温室气体排放，陆地和海洋的温度稳步上升，飓风变得更强烈，风力更强，降雨量更大。一些科学家认为，由于灾难性的风暴经常超过每小时157英里，萨菲尔-辛普森评价量表不再传达目前最大飓风的威胁，所以MichaelF.Wehner提出了6级评价系统，文章第五段“ButtheNationalHurricaneCenterhasnoplanstointroduceaCategory6,primarilybecauseitisalreadytrying“tonotemphasizethescaleverymuch,”saidBrennan,theNationalHurricaneCenterdirector.Othermeteorologistssaidthat’stherightcall.“Idon’tseethevalueinitatthistime.”(但国家飓风中心主任Brennan说，国家飓风中心没有引入6级评价的计划，主要是因为它已经在努力“不太强调规模”。其他气象学家表示，这是正确的决定。“我现在看不出这有什么价值。”)”指出因为Category6不太强调飓风规模，所以引进Category6就没有必要，言外之意是应该引进其他形式的强调规模的评价系统。纵观全文，文章主要讲的是自从萨菲尔—辛普森等级量表引进以来，因为由于温室气体排放，陆地和海洋的温度稳步上升，飓风变得更强烈，风力更强，降雨量更大，所以萨菲尔—辛普森等级量表不能更好地警告公众风暴的危险，因此需要有一个新的评价系统，因为Category6不再强调飓风规模，言外之意就是需要引进其他形式的强调规模的量级评价系统，所以D项ABiggerNumberMightBeNeededforHurricanes(飓风可能需要更大的量级系统)作为文章的标题最合适。故选D项。DThesmallhobbyofchocolateisbecomingamorecostlyone.Rapidlyincreasingpricesforcocoabeansrecentlyhitarecord$12,000atonne:roughlyfourtimeslastyear’sprice.Manythinktheywillgohigher.Thatmayputsmallspecialistproducersoutofbusiness.Yetitisbringinglittlerewardtostrugglinggrowers.TheimmediatecauseisabadharvestinWestAfrica—whichproduces70%oftheworld’sbeans—reflectingElNiño-linkedweatherpatternsanddisease.MajorprocessingplantsinGhanaandIvoryCoast,themaingrowers,havestoppedorreducedoperationsbecausetheycannotaffordthebeans.Butunderlyingthecrisisarelonger-termissuesincludingtheclimatecrisisandtheinabilityoffarmerstoinvestinproductionduetotheirlowincomes.ManyWestAfricangrowersarebeingforcedoutofthebusinessafteryearsofpunishinglylowreturnsfortheirworkand—astreescometotheendoftheirlifecycle—oftensellinglandtogoldminers,resultinginsevereenvironmentaldegradation(恶化).LatinAmericanfarmersarerushingtoplantcocoaduetothehigherprices,abandoningothercropsanddeforestingnewareas.Butthelikelihood,ifproductionboomsandthesystemdoesnotchange,isthatbythetimetheirnewtreesbearfruit,pricesmaybefallingagain.Asseriousasthesituationlooks,theattentiondemandedbytherocketingpriceofcocoa,andtheintroductionofEUDeforestationRegulationofferanopportunity.Facedwithglobalheating,increasingconflictandenergypriceinstability,dependingonthefreemarketisapoorbet.Treatingfoodissuesasfinancialinstrumentshurtsfarmers,destroysforestsandworsenstheinstabilityofsupply.Thesolutioninthiscaseisacommitmenttostableminimumpricesforcocoafarmersandlong-termcontracts.Thiswouldhelptoliftgrowersoutofpovertyand,indoingso,tackleotherproblems.Sustainableproductionisessential,andwillevenbenefitconsumersinthelongrun.Itcan’tbeachievedbylettingthefreemarketrunitscourse.12.Whatmightbetheconsequenceofrisingcocoaprices?A.Somesmallproducerswillfail.
