D 14. D 15. A【解析】【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲的是澳大利亚森林火灾造成的损失，以及专家们关于森林大火 原因的分析。【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段 “This season, the bushfires in Australia have burned more than 12.35 million acres of land. At least 25 people have been killed and 2000 homes destroyed. （这个季节，澳大利亚的森林大火已经烧 毁了超过1235万英亩的土地。至少25人死亡，2000所房屋被毁。）可知，本段利用数字分别从过火面积、 人员伤亡和财产损失等三个方面描述森林大火的巨大破坏力，所以本段的数字是关为了告诉我们森林大火 产生的严重后果。故选B项。【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段 “Zeke Hausfather, an energy systems analyst and climate researcher at BerkeleyEarth, said warmer temperatures and extreme weather have made Australia more susceptible to fires and increasedthe length of the fire season（加州大学伯克利分校地球分校的能源系统分析师和气候研究员泽克豪萨福尔说 气温升高和极端天气使澳大利亚更susceptible to火灾并延长了高火险季节的持续时间。）”可推测气温升高 和极端天气更容易发生火灾，因此more susceptible to应意为“更易遭受,更容易受到影响”，与D项“Very likely to be influenced by（很容易受 的影响）”意思相近。故选D项。.【14题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第三段“He said that once an area experiences drought conditions for two months or more, it increases the risk of fires catching and spreading. Those changing weather patterns due to global warming make drought events longer.（他说，一旦一个地区经历了两个月或更长时间的干旱，它就会增加火灾和火灾蔓延的 风险。那些由于全球变暖而改变的天气使得干旱持续的时间更长。）”可推断全球气候变暖导致干旱或延长 干旱时间，增加火灾风险及火灾蔓延风险，所以全球变暖是森林大火的根本原因。故选D项。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段 “Climate experts stress that climate change is not the only factor in the severity of wildfires. How land is managed can also impact the amount of fuel available for fires.（气候专家强调气候变化不 是野火严重的唯一因素。土地的管理方式也会影响火灾可用燃料的数量。）"以及"Practices like controlled bums and other factors can impact the risk to people and property, such as warning systems and the type of development in a given area.（诸如控制性燃烧和其他因素等做法可能会影响火灾对人和财产的风险，如预警系 统和特定地区的开发类型。）”及 uChanging those policies has great potential to limit future damage from wildfires along with changes to how fire management resources are dispatched（派遣X改变这些政策同时改变消防 管理资源的分配方式有很大的降低未来野火造成损害的潜力。）”可知作者在最后一段想要提供一些关于减 少火灾损失的建议。故选A项。第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Three Things We Must Do to Tackle Climate ChangeWith world leaders meeting at the international climate change conference this August in Glasgow to discuss urgent global action to meet one of the greatest challenges, many people still don't know what must be done.16 However, the good news we get from the report is that it is not too late to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, if we respond rapidly and decisively. But how? It comes down to the following three things.Stop using fossil fuels gradually. 17 That means no exploration, no new wells, mines, pipelines, or power plants. We already have a vast amount of fossil fuel infrastructure（基石出设施），and it will take decades to end its use.18 Sun and wind are the fastest-growing new sources of energy we have. Their costs have fallen sharply, making them the least expensive options and encouraging the adoption of clean energy in more and more locations.Protect the world's forests. Forests all over the world currently absorb about a third of the carbon dioxide our activities send out to the atmosphere. 19 And this must stop. To meet the planefs growing food needs, experts urge improved management practices on already-cleared land rather than clearing new land.Finally, it is high time that we joined hands to protect the only home we have. If so, we can take on the challenge as we would whatever the difficulty is. 20 The three actions we suggest are essential for success.A. Boost the development of new technology.B. Speed up the use of clean, renewable energy.C. The alarming messages released urged us to change our lifestyle.D. To achieve this, we must allow no new development of coal, oil and gas.E. The "code red“ report from the conference greatly shocked many people.F. We are on a mission to save planet Earth, its people and its natural wonders.G. Tropical （热带）forests are especially at risk and still being cleared for agricultural uses.【答案】16.E17. D 18. B 19. G 20. F【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人们可以做三件事情来应对气候变化。【16题详解】根据空后 uHowever, the good news we get from the report is that it is not too late to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, if we respond rapidly and decisively. But how? It comes down to the following three things.（然而， 我们从报告中得到的好消息是，如果我们迅速果断地做出反应，避免气候变化的最严重影响还为时不晚。）” 可知，空处和空后为转折关系，空后提到了报告中的好消息，可推知空处是在描述格拉斯哥召开国际气候 变化大会提出了让人震惊的报告，告诉人们气候变化的后果非常严重。然而如果我们迅速果断地做出反应, 避免气候变化的最严重影响还为时不晚。E项“会议的“红色代码”报告让许多人大吃一惊。”符合语境。故选Eo【17题详解】根据空前 “Stop using fossil fuels gradually.（逐步停止使用化石燃料。）”以及下文"That means no exploration, nonew wells, mines, pipelines, or power plants.（这意味着没有勘探，没有新的油井、矿山、管道或发电厂。）” 可知，本段号召人们不要使用化石燃料，所以为了实现这一目的，我们必须不允许煤炭、石油和天然气的 新开发。D 项中的 “coal, oil and gas” 对应前文的化石次然料。而 we must allow no new development of coal, oil and gas （我们必须不允许煤炭、石油和天然气的新开发）”顺应下文中的“没有新的油井、矿山、管道或发 电厂。”故选D。【18题详解】根据空后 “Sun and wind are the fastest-growing new sources of energy we have .（太阳和风能是我们拥有的增长 最快的新能源。）”可知，人们开发利用新型的清洁和可再生能源是应对气候变化的重要方法。B项“加快 使用清洁的可再生能源。”符合语境。故选B。【19题详解】根据本段的第一句话Protect the world's forests.（保护世界森林。）”和空后“And this must stop.（这必须停 止。）”可知，保护森林非常重要，而空后的this应该指代对森林破坏这件事。G项“热带森林面临的风险 尤其大，仍在为农业用途而砍伐。”为this指代的内容，符合语境。故选G。【20题详解】根据本段第一句话 u Finally, it is high time that we joined hands to protect the only home we have.（最后,是我们 携手保护我们唯一的家园的时候了。）”可知，作者在最后号召大家行动起来保护我们唯一的家园，我们要 去拯救地球，上文建议的三个行动对成功至关重要。F项“我们的使命是拯救地球、地球上的人民和地球上 的自然奇观。”符合语境。故选F。第三部分语言知识运用（共三节，满分35分） 第一节完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳 选项。I dreamed of being a scientist at 6.
