于气温升高，而在于湿度较低，因为据信，如果气温升高，降雨量将保持在同一水平。）”和第六段的““Inotherwords,ashighertemperaturessqueezemorewateroutofsoilandplants,it’sunlikelythatrainfallwillincreaseenoughtooffsetthemoistureloss,“MichonScott,theessay’sauthor,wrote.（“换句话说，随着高温从土壤和植物中挤出更多的水分，降雨量不太可能增加到足以抵消水分流失的程度，”该论文的作者米琼·斯科特(MichonScott)写道。）”可知，让可可豆在未来难以在赤道附近生长的原因是那里土壤中的水分流失，故选D。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Themessagehereisthatifwealldoourpart,wemaybeabletopreventsomeoftheworstimpactsofclimatechange.Orifwe’reunlucky,chocolatewillbecomeathingofthepast.（这里传递的信息是，如果我们都尽自己的一份力量，我们也许能够阻止气候变化的一些最糟糕的影响。如果我们运气不好，巧克力就会成为过去式。）”可知，巴里·帕金的建议是我们大家要一起努力，也就是“合则存，分则亡”，故选C。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第三段的“Inthemeantime,UScompanyMars,oneoftheworld’sbiggestmanufacturers,ofchocolateproducts,announcedinJanuarythatitwouldspend$1billiontohelpreducetheeffectsofclimatechange.（与此同时，全球最大的巧克力产品制造商之一美国玛氏公司于今年1月宣布，将斥资10亿美元帮助减少气候变化的影响。）”可知，Mars将在财政上支持对抗气候变化。故选D。【15题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段“AccordingtoanessaypublishedbytheUSNationalOceanicandAtmosphericAdministration,changestotheclimateintheregionsthatproducecacao--theplantfromwhichchocolateisproduced--maymeanthatitwillsoonbecomeextinct.（根据美国国家海洋和大气管理局发表的一篇文章，生产可可(巧克力的原料)的地区的气候变化可能意味着可可很快会灭绝。）”可知，本文主要讲的是气候变化可能导致可可树的灭绝，巧克力可能会成为历史，因此最好的题目是A选项“Chocolatecouldbecomehistory（巧克力可能会成为历史）”，故选A。第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。选项中有两项多余选项。HowtoSaveWaterDuringaDrought?Thedroughtishappeningbecauseofclimatechange.Californiajusthaditsdriestyearinacentury.Gov.GavinNewsomhasdeclaredastatewidedroughtemergency,askingallCalifornianstosavewaterineverywaypossible.___16___,thoughyoucan’tsaveCaliforniaonyourownSmallthingscanaddup.You’veprobablyheardthesetipsbefore,butconsiderthisarefreshercourse:Don’tletthewaterrunningwhileyouwashdishesinthesinkorwashing,brushingorshaving.___17___.Wateroutdoorplantsinthemorningorevening,soyoudon’tloseasmuchwatertoevaporationinthemiddaysun.Replaceoldappliances.Howoldisyourtoilet?Ifit’sfrombefore1990,itcouldbeusingupto6gallonsperflush.Newertoiletsmayuseaslittleas1.28gallonsorless.___18___.Upgradingyourdishwasherandwashingmachineandanyotherwater-intensiveappliancewillalsopaysavingsdividends(红利),inbothwaterandenergycosts.___19___.Keepaneyeonyourwaterbill.Ifitcreepshigherthannormalwithoutagoodreason,investigatewhetheryouhavealeaksomewhere.Dependingonthetypeofwatermeter(仪表)youhave,youmaybeabletomonitorthemeterwithallyourwaterturnedoffandseewhetheranythingisstillmovingthroughyoursystem,___20___.Consideryouroveralllifestyleofwaterusageanddoeverythingwithinyourpowertouselesswater.Individualactioncanmakeabigchange.A.FocusonthewaterbillB.Individualactionmatters,C.FindoutthepotentialproblemD.TheycansavealotperhouseholdperdayE.It’spoliticalactionthatbringsasignificantchangeF.Youmayalsouseasmartdetectortotellyouoncethere’saproblemG.Onlyrunwashingmachinesanddishwasherswhenyouhaveafullload【答案】16.B17.G18.D19.C20.F【解析】【分析】本文为说明文。文章介绍了早灾发生时如何节约用水。【16题详解】设空处后though引导让步状语从句，根据后半句“thoughyoucan’tsaveCaliforniaonyourown（尽管你凭一己之力无法拯救加州）”，虽然不能凭一己之力救加州，但个人的行为也是大有影响的。B项Individualactionmatters（个人行动很重要）符合题意。故选B。【17题详解】根据本段主旨句“Smallthingscanaddup（小事情可以积累）”，可知设空处与生活中小事的积累可以帮助解决问题有关。G项Onlyrunwashingmachinesanddishwasherswhenyouhaveafullload（只有在洗衣机和洗碗机满载时才开动）生活中的小事，符合语境。故选G。【18题详解】根据上文提示“Howoldisyourtoilet?Ifit'sfrombefore1990,itcouldbeusingupto6gallonsperflush.Newertoiletsmayuseaslittleas1.28gallonsorless.（你的厕所用了多久了?如果是1990年以前的，每次冲水要消耗6加仑。较新的厕所可能只消耗1.28加仑或更少的水）”，可知，新旧坐便器对比，新的能节约水。D项Theycansavealotperhouseholdperday（它们可以为每户每天节省很多）符合语境。故选D项。【19题详解】设空处为所在段落主旨句，应该用短小精悍的，在A项和C项中选择。再根据该段关键信息“investigatewhetheryouhavealeaksomewhere（调查一下你是否在什么地方有漏洞）”，可知该段说明要查找是否有漏水现象。C项Findoutthepotentialproblem（找出潜在的问题）概括了这一内容，符合题意。故选C。【20题详解】根据设空处上一句中“Dependingonthetypeofwatermeter(仪表)youhave,youmaybeabletomonitorthemeterwithallyourwaterturnedoffandseewhetheranythingisstillmovingthroughyoursystem（根据你的水表的类型，你可以在所有的水关闭的情况下监控水表，看看是否有东西仍在通过你的系统）”，推知设空处是另一种检测漏水的方式。F项Youmayalsouseasmartdetectortotellyouoncethere’saproblem,（一旦出现问题，你也可以使用智能探测器来告诉你）中的also，asmartdetector提供了线索，符合题意。故选F。第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Everyoneiscallingthislovelylong-hairedcatahero.AndwhenyouhearwhatMashadidonthatday,you'llknowhowthisfurryfriend___21___ababyslife!Afterfindinganabandonedbabyboyonthestreet,Masha___22___intotheboxtheboyhadbeendesertedinasiftokeephim___23___.Then,thecaringmothercatgot___24___bycryingnon-stoptodraw___25___tothepoor3-month-oldbabyboy.Aretiredwoman,Irina,who___26___nearby,walkedouttoemptyherhouseholdwaste.SuddenlysheheardMashacryingoutloudlyand___27___.ShespottedMasha.Itwasalostcatthatsheandherneighborshadbegun___28___.andsheknewMashawasnormallyverycalmand___29___."WhenIheardhercrymg,Ithoughtthatperhapsshehad___30___herselfbecauseshewouldcometogreetmeorgivemeasignforhelp,”Irinasaid.Concernedforthecat,Irinawentto___31___,andthenshespiedthecat___32___herfromtheabandonedboxinthemiddleofthecans.Shewalkedcloser,andwascompletely___33___,ShecouldnotbelievehereyeswhenshelookedinsidetheboxandsawthebabytherewithMasha___34___nexttohim!Clea
