Ⅰ.阅读理解
Twothirds of the world's major rivers have now been disrupted with more than 50,000 dams in an attempt to store water and provide power.In the US，there are more than 85,000 dams，disrupting large and small rivers，and in most cases transforming natural flow.The most famous of these，the Hoover Dam，constructed in the 1930s，is mainly responsible for the fact that the Colorado River no longer reaches the ocean.
Dams，besides all their attractive benefits，also have negative impacts.Creating a reservoir means a large area must be
munities may lose their land，houses and culturally important sites.
Environmentally，the new reservoir can be a paradise for wildlife，especially birds; however，it can cause greenhouse gas emissions and poison the water.Also，the dramatic rise and fall of water levels during dam releases is too extreme for plants and animals to cope with，resulting in dead zones around the shores of reservoirs.Fish that lay their eggs in the shallows，for example，may find a few hours later that those sites are high and dry.
Downstream(在下游方向)of a dam，the flow may be reduced so that farmers cannot irrigate their fields.Many rivers run through national borders，which may cause conflict over precious water.Disputes have been continuing between India and Pakistan，and Turkey，Syria and Iraq，for example.
Dams don't just block the flow of water.They also prevent fish migrations，and dams are a barrier to sediment (沉淀物)flows.Instead of rushing downriver，sediments get backed up against the dam wall，which causes the reservoir level to increase over time.However，sediments which are rich in nutrients have become a problem.The fertility of the entire system can be influenced，with soils lost during seasonal rains not being replaced.
Perhaps the biggest problem can be seen in deltas，which are sinking into the oceans.Groundwater is being extracted to feed the city，causing the city to sink，and sediments washed away by the ocean are no longer being replaced.The result is that sea level rises in cities from Shanghai to Alexandria.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
【语篇解读】本文主要讲的是人类在修建的大坝对环境造成的影响。

1．选B 细节理解题。

根据第一段中的“and in most cases transforming natural flow...no longer reaches the ocean”可知，文章中提到胡佛大坝
是为了说明大坝可以影响河的流向，故选B。

2．选D 细节理解题。

根据第二段末句和第四段首句可知，随着大坝的修建，蓄水淹没了一些文化遗迹，并且导致下游的农民无法灌溉农作物，故选D。

3．选B 细节理解题。

根据第三段中的“it can cause greenhouse gas emissions and poison the water”可知，随着水坝的修建，蓄水会释放出温室气体，使水有毒，所以鱼的生活环境会变得危险，故选B。

4．选A 主旨大意题。

通读全文可知，本文主要讲的是修建大坝对环境造成的影响，故选A。

Ⅱ.完形填空
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。

文章描述了我在商场前擦车时遇到一位无业游民，他虽然衣衫褴褛，可在我问他是否需要帮助时，他却说了一句话：“我们不都需要帮助吗？”虽然这句话很简单易懂，但却使我受到极大震撼。

1．选B 连接代词what引导主语从句，在从作consider的宾语。

2．选C 由文意可知此人衣衫破旧，因而“我”认为他一无所有。

looks 在此表示“the appearance of sb./sth.”，即外表，符合文意。

expressions 指面部表情，不符合文意。

3．选A 文章倒数第二段中提到我给了他足够的钱可以买车票，所以A 项ride为最佳答案，ride the bus意为“乘公共”。

5．选A 从下文dignity“尊严”可知，对方虽然贫穷，但有尊严。

注意此处air意为“神态；感觉”。

其他选项不符合文意。

6．选C 文章开头提到我在擦车，而下文提到“as I worked”，说明仍在擦车，故选C项。

7．选A 由下文something inside said...he would say“yes”可知，他在旁边静静地看着我干活，故选quietly“轻声地，安静地”。

casually意为“偶然地，无意地”；aimlessly意为“漫无目的地，无目标地”；eagerly 意为“渴望地，热切地”。

根据句意，该选expected。

”故选D项silence，意为“沉默”。

situation意为“形势，情况”；sigh意为“叹气，叹息”；doubt意为“怀疑”。

ring true 相当于sound true，听起来是对的、真实的，故选C。

从上下文理解可知，无论你拥有多少，无论你取得了多大，都需要别人的帮助，故选D项。

struggle意为“斗争”；devote意为“奉献”；apply意为“申请”。
