Ⅰ. 阅读理解
A
The researchers’ findings will hardly come as a surprise to those who study air pollution. Previous research has shown that outdoor air pollution causes more than 3 million deaths annually and suggested that the figure could double by 2050.
Another study suggested that air pollution causes 1. 6
million premature(早产儿)deaths annually in China alone.
Policy makers across the globe have responded to air
pollution with a number of new regulations, many of
which focus on limiting pollution from coal. China stopped approval of new coal mines for three years at the end of 2015 and has issued strict requirements along the lines of those in the U. S. for new coal-fired power plants. Cities in China have also developed warning systems to get cars off the streets and limit industrial pollution during periods of intense smog. But even these policies may still be met by increases in mortality (死亡率)as aging populations are increasingly suffering from the problems associated with pollution.
“China might move in the right direction in terms of air pollution,
but it’s going to have to continue revising policies just like the U. S. and Europe, ” said Dan Greenbaum, president of Health Effects Institute, which supported the research.
And, while premature deaths due to pollution in the U. S. and Europe have declined in recent decades, cities in the West have still taken steps to reduce pollution. Air pollution kills more than 200, 000 in Europe and nearly 80, 000 in the U. S. each year, according to the research. The benefits of addressing air pollution extend beyond the people who experience the health effects of poor air directly.
“One of the unique things about air pollution is that you can’t run, you can’t hide from it, ” said study researcher Michael Brauer, a professor at the University of British Columbia, in a video accompanying the presentation. “But we know that if you improve air quality, everybody benefits from it. ”

B(2017·濮阳模拟)
Royale is surrounded by deep blue waters of Lake Superior, the
largest freshwater lake on Earth. The only way to get there is by boat or sea plane. The National Park Service operates shuttle boats that take visitors to Isle Royale. The boats leave from two Michigan ports. A boat trip to Isle Royale takes three to five hours. Waters are often extremely rough.
Modern copper mining began in the late 1800s, resulting in large areas of the island being burned. This led to settlement development. Soon, Isle Royale became popular for summer homes. It became a national park on April 3, 1940. In 1980, officials named it an International Biosphere Reserve(生物圈保护区)because of its unique ecosystem.
Isle Royale offers hiking, camping, boating, and even scuba diving. The National Park Service protects 11 sunken(沉没的)boats for divers to explore. They are reminders of Lake Superior’s commercial shipping history. The sunken wooden ship called The America is one of the most popular dive sites. The America carried passengers, mail, and supplies to many towns along the shores of Lake Superior. It first launched in 1898, and was used until 1928, when it was damaged. It sank to the bottom of the lake soon after.
Visitors to Isle Royale share the trails with a well-studied population of wolves. Scientists believe wolves walked there during a freeze of the lake sometime in the 1940s. Researchers closely record their population
numbers. Much of the research takes place during the winter, when the trees are bare. The researchers fly over the island to observe the animals from above.
Animal research is the only winter activity going on at Isle Royale. The national park is closed each year in late October because of the terrible weather conditions and reopens in spring time the next year.
But for the other months of the year, Isle Royale offers green forests, and clear blue waters. Its excellent scenery and unusual location keep visitors returning year after year.

【文章大意】本文主要讲述一项国际协议被签署, 禁止非法买卖象牙, 严禁猎杀大象。

1. 【解析】an。

考查冠词。

agreement是单数可数名词, 其前加不定冠词, 因international的读音是以元音音素开头的, 故要用不定冠词an。

2. 【解析】for。

考查介词。

be used for 用作……。

3. 【解析】terribly。

考查副词。

valuable是形容词, 要用副词修饰, 形容词terrible的副词是terribly。

4. 【解析】fell。

考查动词时态。

根据前面的was以及from 1979 to 1989可知此处用过去时态。

5. 【解析】left。

考查过去分词。

none与leave之间是动宾关系, 用过去分词作none的定语。

6. 【解析】has been。

考查动词时态。

根据since 1990, 可知用现在完成时态, 句子主语illegal hunting是单数形式, 助动词用has, 故填has been。

7. 【解析】varieties。

考查固定搭配。

a variety of/varieties of意为“各种各样的”, 动词vary的名词是variety, 根据句子结构, 填varieties。

8. 【解析】be paid。

考查动词语态。

根据句意: 农民一定要得到补偿。

根据句意可知用含情态动词的被动语态, 故填be paid。

9. 【解析】making。

考查动名词。

分析句子结构, 句中缺少主语, 此处是动名词作主语, 故填making。

10. 【解析】what。

考查连词。

此处是what引导的主语从句, 在从句中作主语。
