However, the mountains, valleys, rivers, deserts and forests we see today are much younger than that. For example, Qomolangma is about 60 million years old and the Amazon Rainforest is about 55 million years old. The Baltic Sea, the youngest sea in the world, is only about 15,000 years old.‎ The earth is always changing because of volcanoes, earthquakes and, of course, wind and rain. Some of these changes are very slow and others are quick. Water and ice can make very big changes to the planet. For example, glaciers can cut through mountains and make deep valleys.‎ It’s normal for our planet to change. But at the moment scientists think it’s changing faster than usual. They don’t understand everything that is happening but they know that temperatures are rising. Besides, the weather is getting wetter in some places and drier in others, and there are more big storms. Now there is a growing awareness that climate change is definitely not confined to a certain region or country. However, it is a problem all countries are involved. What’s more, there is no denying t hat industrial emissions has been the main influence of climate change for the last 50 years, overwhelming natural forces.‎ However, these changes are not bad for everyone. Because the Arctic is getting warmer, farmers in Greenland now can grow and sell vegetables. That wasn’t possible 50 years ago. Farmers in Greenland like the warm weather and hope it will continue.‎ ‎4. Which of the following is the oldest?‎ A. The earth. B. Qomolangma.‎ C. The Amazon Rainforest. D. The Baltic Sea.‎ ‎5. All of these lead to the changes of the earth EXCEPT ________.‎ A. glaciers B. deep valleys - 23 -‎ C. wind and rain D. volcanoes and earthquakes ‎6. Why do farmers in Greenland like the warm weather?‎ A. They turned the impossible into possible.‎ B. The warm weather is good for the Arctic.‎ C. They now own businesses and become successful.‎ D. They benefit from the vegetable businesses that did not exist before.‎ ‎7. Which do you think is the best title?‎ A. Global Warming B. Beautiful Greenland C. Our Changing Planet D. The Old Earth ‎【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了地球由于火山、地震等原因不断发生变化。这些变化有利，如格陵兰岛农业得到发展；也有弊，如全球变暖等。‎ ‎【4题详解】‎ 细节理解题。由题干四个选项可定位到第一段。根据第一段可知：the earth: 4.6 billion years old；Qomolangma: about 60 million years old；the Amazon Rainforest: about 55 million years old；the Baltic Sea: about1 15,000 years old。可以得知地球有46亿年的岁数。故选项A正确。‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 细节理解题。由关键词changes of the earth可定位到第二段。根据第二段中“because of volcanoes, earthquakes and, of course, wind and rain”可知排除C、D项。根据第二段中“glaciers can cut through mountains and make deep valleys”可知，排除选项A，选项B正确。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 推理判断题。由关键词farmers in Greenland定位到第四段。根据第四段中“farmers in Greenland now can grow and sell vegetables.farmers in Greenland now can… it will continue”得知格林兰岛的农民们现在可以种植和销售蔬菜，所以格林兰岛的农民们喜欢温暖的天气。故选D。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。综观全文，本文主要讲述了在各类因素的影响下地球发生的变化，而这些变化有利有弊。故C选项最符合主旨。‎ ‎【点睛】‎ - 23 -‎ C As the coronavirus disease (冠状病毒) takes hold and causes lockdowns (禁闭) in major urban centers, researchers studying air pollution data are recording significant improvements in air quality levels. The change is so huge that some believe these short-term reductions could end up saving many more lives than those who are lost to the virus itself.‎ ‎''These are quite great times, '' Francois Gemenne, director of The Hugo Observatory, an environmental research center, said during an appearance on France 24's The Debate. ''What surprises me most is that the measures that we are ready to take to face this coronavirus are much severer than the measures we would be ready to take to face climate change or air pollution. ''‎ According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 91% of the world's population live in places where air quality levels are beyond acceptable limits. Globally, this results in nearly 4.2 million deaths annually, according to 2016 statistics.‎ Recent data from the European Space Agency's (ESA) Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite have shown marked reduction over Italy in the amount of nitrogen dioxide (二氧化氮), a gas produced from road traffic and other processes, during the country’s nationwide lockdown.‎ ‎''Although there could be slight variations in the data due to cloud cover and changing weather, we are very confident about the improvement of air quality because of less traffic and industrial activities, '' said Josef Aschbacher, esa's Director of Earth Observation Programmes.‎ People living in Venice have noticed how much clearer the water has become now that the city is in lockdown. Fishes have been seen in the canals, which is unusual for waters normally full of mud caused by so much can canal traffic, reports CNN. In some cities, animals are cautiously exploring new areas, especially in urban areas.‎ ‎8. What can we learn from what Francois said?‎ A. Air pollution is not serious as we imagine.‎ B. We will meet with huge change of climate.‎ C. Dealing with the coronavirus will be very tough D. What we do to beat the coronavirus is surprising.‎ ‎9. What do the data in paragraph 3 mainly indicate?‎ A. There is little air pollution in the world.‎ B. Air pollution is very severe globally.‎ - 23 -‎ C. Most people will die from air pollution.‎ D. The earth is too terrible for people to live on.‎ ‎10. What does the last paragraph want to tell us?‎ A. Traffic jam will not be seen from now on.‎ B. We have solved the problem of water pollution.‎ C. The environment has improved due to the lockdown.‎ D. Staying at home is the only way to beat the coronavirus.‎ ‎11. Where is this text most likely from?‎ A. A textbook. B. A guidebook.‎ C. A novel. D. A newspaper.‎ ‎【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. D ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了由于冠状病毒爆发期间人们外出活动大大减少，结果改善了全球的环境。‎ ‎【8题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第二段中的What surprises me most is that the measures that we are ready to take to face this coronavirus are much more severer than the measures we would be ready to take to face climate change or air pollution.(最让我惊讶的是，我们为应对新冠病毒准备的措施，要比我们为应对气候变化或空气污染准备的措施要严格得多。)由此推测，对抗冠状病毒并不是一件容易的事情。C. Dealing with the coronavirus will be very tough(对抗新冠将会非常困难)符合以上推测，故选C项。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第三段的…around 91% of the world’s population live in places where air quality levels are beyond acceptable limits. Globally this results in nearly 4.2 million deaths annually, according to 2016 statistics.(世界大约91%的人口居住在空气质量超过可接受限度的地方。根据2016年的数据，在全球范围内，这几乎导致每年420万人死亡。)可知，全球每年因为空气污染死去的人多达420万。由此推测，全球空气污染非常严重。B. Air pollution is very severe globally.(全球空气污染非常严重)符合以上推测，故选B项。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段People living in Venice have noticed how much clearer the water has ‎ - 23 -‎ become now that the city is in lockdown. Fishes have been seen in the canals, which is unusual for waters normally full of mud caused by so much can canal traffic, reports CNN. In some cities, animals are cautiously exploring new areas, especially in urban areas.(居住在威尼斯的人注意到封城后水变得更加干净、清澈了。运河里可以看到鱼，这对于通常满水的水域来说是不寻常的，CNN报道。在一些城市，动物们正在小心翼翼地探索新的地区，尤其在城市地区。)可推断由于冠状病毒的爆发，人们外出活动减少，环境变好了。C. The environment has improved due to the lockdown.(由于禁闭环境变好了。)符合以上推测，故选C项。‎ ‎【11题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章主要内容可知，本文主要介绍了在冠状病毒爆发期间，人们外出活动大大减少，结果改善了全球的环境，所以本文最有可能会出现在报纸上。D. A newspaper.(报纸)符合以上说法，故选D项。‎ D They say that ''a picture is worth a thousand words'', but the briefest look at books and the movies based on them would have anyone questioning this common saying. All too often, great words end up being turned into cinematic ''turkeys''. ‎ Good movies need good stories. If so, why has one of the earliest and greatest works in Western storytelling, Homer's The Odyssey, never had an equally great movie based on it? Movies need strong characters. So why have the movies based on The Great Gatsby never been praised as ''great''? Movies of course need impressive images, so why has Alice in Wonderland only resulted in movies best described as ''interesting''?‎ One of the key reasons behind this is that while a book usually takes a few days to read, a movie typically lasts under two hours. This means that great books can lose plot details and characters when they move to the big screen. This is something that even the highly successful Harry Potter movies can't escape from, with fans of the books disappointed not to see some of their favorite characters in the movie versions. ‎ Movies also disappoint us when things don't look the way we imagined them in the books. Take, for example, the epic movie Troy, which is in part based on Homer's The Iliad and was met with mixed reviews from the audience. The most questionable issue was the actress chosen to play the part of Helen. Many people thought she didn't live up to Helen's title of ''the most beautiful woman in the world'', influencing opinions of the movie to some extent. ‎ - 23 -‎ There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes. Furthermore, books and movies are two different forms of media and therefore have different rules. With this in mind, perhaps we should judge a movie in its own right, and not against its original source. Interestingly, audiences have in recent years turned to television series such as Sherlock or Mad Men, which can have many characters and gradual plot development. Perhaps, one day, readers of F. Scott Fitzgerald's most admired work will find themselves glued to their screens by episodes of The Great Gatsby.‎ ‎12. Which of the following statements about the movie adaptation is true?‎ A. The characters in The Odyssey do not stand out.‎ B. The movie Troy doesn't look the way we visualized while reading the book.‎ C. The visual images are not as striking as the descriptions in the book The Great Gatsby.‎ D. Some parts of the story and characters are missing in the movie Alice in Wonderland.‎ ‎13. One of the reasons why adaptations disappoint the audience is that ________.‎ A. they lack good storytelling B. the images are not impressive enough C. the characters in the movies are not strong and interesting D. there is not enough time for movies to fully present the whole story ‎14. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?‎ A. Every shoe fits not every foot.‎ B. Birds of a feather flock together.‎ C. Reading is a matter of personal taste.‎ D. Different people have different ideas about the books and movies.‎ ‎15. What does the text mainly talk about?‎ A. People are dissatisfied with the current movies.‎ B. Reading books is better than watching movies.‎ C. Good books may not be adapted for great movies.‎ D. People are expressing their preference to reading books.‎ ‎【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. C ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇议论文。主要通过由小说改编而来的电影没能被大家认可这个话题，从而来讨论小说和改编电影的关系。‎ - 23 -‎ ‎【12题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第四段的Movies also disappoint us when things don't look the way we imagined them in the books. Take, for example, the epic movie Troy(当故事不像我们读书时想象的那样时，电影总是让我们失望，以电影史诗《特洛伊》为例)可知，史诗电影《特洛伊》拍摄出来时，不像我们在阅读时想象的那样。B. The movie Troy doesn't look the way we visualized while reading the book.(电影特洛伊和我们读书时想象的不一样)符合以上说法，故选B项。‎ ‎【13题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句 One of the key reasons behind this is that while a book usually takes a few days to read, a movie typically lasts under two hours. This means that great books can lose plot details and characters when they move to the big screen.可知，一本书需要几天才能看完，而电影只有两个小时以下的时间，故而容易丢失一些细节和人物，不能完整地呈现小说内容。D. there is not enough time for movies to fully present the whole story(对于电影来说没有足够的时间来呈现完整的故事)符合以上说法，故选D项。‎ ‎【14题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes.本句字面意思为 “一千个人眼里有一千个哈姆雷特”，再结合下文的Furthermore, books and movies are two different forms of media and therefore have different rules.(此外，书和电影是两种完全不同的媒体，因此它们有不同的规则)可猜测划线部分的意思是：对于书和电影不同的人有不同的观点。D. Different people have different ideas about the books and movies.(关于书和电影不同的人有不同的看法)符合以上猜测，故选D项。‎ ‎【15题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其是第一段的All too often, great words end up being turned into cinematic ''turkeys''. (伟大的词汇最终变成了电影院的“火鸡”)可知，本文主要通过由著名小说改编的电影并没有得到和原小说同样的认可这个话题。根据第三段第一句 One of the key reasons behind this is that while a book usually takes a few days to read, a movie typically lasts under two hours. This means that great books can lose plot details and characters when they move to the big screen. 可知，一本书需要几天才能看完，而电影只有两个小时以下的时间，故而容易丢失一些细节和人物，不能完整地呈现小说内容。C. Good books may not be adapted for great movies.(好书可能不会被改编成好的电影)符合以上说法，故选C项。‎ - 23 -‎ 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How to Protect Wildlife Wildlife faces threats from habitat destruction, pollution, and other human actions.

This will also help cut down on pollution. ____17____‎ ‎● ____18____ By using less water and fewer fuels, you will be helping to protect the wildlife around you. Take buses or the subway when you can and turn off electric devices when you’re not using them.‎ ‎● Buy products that are wildlife-friendly. ____19____ Keep in mind that some endangered animals are killed by traps, catches or hunters who are after other wildlife within the same habitat.‎ ‎● Limit family size. Population growth is one of the major factors in habitat destruction. With the rapidly growing population, more and more habitats for wildlife are occupied by humans. ____20____ In this way, the Earth’s population will stabilize and native habitats can be protected.‎ A. Live a greener life.‎ B. Donate money to organizations.‎ C. Each family should be limited to one or two children.‎ D. Avoid products that are made from endangered animals.‎ E. Protecting wildlife from being endangered is every family’s duty.‎ F. Here are some tips on how to protect wildlife through small actions.‎ G. Build bird houses to your garden or yard to attract and shelter these species.‎ ‎【答案】16. F 17. G 18. A 19. D 20. C ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇应用文。文章就如何保护野生动植物，提出可以践行的力所能及的小事，希望读者也贡献自己的一份力量。‎ - 23 -‎ ‎【16题详解】‎ 上文提到小的举动就能起到保护野生动植物的作用，下文则介绍了一些具体的方法。F项“这里是一些关于如何通过小的举动保护野生动植物的方法”在此处承上启下，是最为合适的。故选F项。‎ ‎【17题详解】‎ 该段讲的是创造适合野生动植物生存的环境。G项“在庭院安设鸟房来吸引、保护这些物种”符合段落主题。故选G项。‎ ‎【18题详解】‎ 下文提到要保护水资源、乘坐公共交通、节约水电等一些绿色生活方式。A项“过更绿色的生活”作为主题句最能概括此段主旨。故选A项。‎ ‎【19题详解】‎ 空白处紧跟在段首主题句“购买野生动植物友好型产品”，也就是要我们拒绝购买由野生动植物制成的物品。因此D项“避免购买由濒危动植物制成的产品”符合逻辑。故选D项。‎ ‎【20题详解】‎ 本段主题是限制家庭成员规模。人口过多会占据野生动植物的栖息地，空白处下一句也指出了这种方法的好处，C项“每个家庭限制生一到两个孩子”上下连贯，符合主题。故选C项。‎ ‎【点睛】七选五题型主要考查考生对文章的整体理解和掌握情况，相当于阅读理解和完形填空的综合。它不仅需要阅读速度，还要对文章的结构、主旨、写作意图、观点都有所了解。主要考点包括：1.考查主题句，也就是考查对文章整体内容的概括能力；2.考查上下文衔接，即考查文章的过渡部分；3.考查中心句，需要考生学会归纳段落大意。拿到题目时，应该先确定出题位置；读题干，再读需要填入句子的上下句，画出关键词；读文章各段落，确定段落中心句和文章主题句；通读文章确定上下句和选项之间的逻辑关系。针对不同设空位置选择不同的策略就能事半功倍。如第3小题缺少的是段落主题句，可以先理清本段的内容：节约用水和燃料，出行尽量选择公共交通。显然是倡导绿色生活的主题，与A选项的内容正好符合。‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30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。‎ Many people, some even at a very young age, set the goal of graduating from college. ‎ - 23 -‎ ‎____21____, one American woman in Texas waited a long time for her chance to reach that ____22____.‎ The woman is 84-year-old Janet Fein.
