Going forward, we39。re likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets”可知，這款相機(jī)依靠先進(jìn)的科技和人工智能等使得它成為了可能，成為了可以幫助人們記錄美好瞬間的工具。故選A。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第一段中的“Google39。s new camera, called Clips, is a small, smart device.”可知，本文主要講述了谷歌開發(fā)的一款新的照相機(jī)，并對(duì)照相機(jī)的各種功能和使用進(jìn)行了介紹。故選C。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測(cè)和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科技類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，概括歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 From the loss of wildlife to rising sea levels, we39。re all well aware of the problems that climate change could cause. But while it may seem like such issues won39。t affect most of us directly，it looks like future generations could grow up without something that many of us now take for granted: chocolate. According to an essay published by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, changes to the climate in the regions that produce cacao the plant from which chocolate is produced may mean that it will soon bee extinct. Most of the world39。s cacao grows in countries close to the equator，with over half of it growing in the African nations of Ghana and Ivory Coast.It39。s predicted that by 2050, climate change will have accelerated the rate at which temperatures in these countries rise, making it extremely difficult for cacao to grow there. The problem doesn39。t lie in increased heat, however，but in lower humidity (濕度)，as it39。s believed that rainfall will stay at the same level if the temperature rises. “In other words, as higher temperatures squeeze more water out of soil and plants, it39。s unlikely that rainfall will increase enough to offset the moisture (含水量) loss,” Michon Scott, the essay39。s author, wrote. To help fight this problem, researchers from Berkeley University in the US are working on changing the DNA of cacao plants to allow them to survive in dryer conditions by using gene editing technology, according to US News. In the meantime, US pany Mars, one of the world39。s biggest manufacturers of chocolate products, announced in January that it would spend $1 billion to help reduce the effects of climate change. “This is a world issue, and it requires everyone to work together,” Mars spokesperson Barry Parkin told Business Insider. The message here is that if we all do our part, we may be able to prevent some of the worst impacts of climate change. Or if we39。re unlucky, chocolate will bee a thing of the past.（1）What could make it hard for cacao to survive around the equator in the future? A.The increased heat there.B.The higher humidity there.C.The decrease in rainfall there.D.The moisture loss in the soil there.（2）What does the underlined word “offset” in the seventh paragraph mean? A.hold backB.make up forC.protectD.accept（3）What will US pany Mars do to help cacao survive? A.It will work hard to plant cacao in greenhouses.B.It will apply gene editing technology in planting cacao.C.It will give financial support to help fight climate change.D.It will develop cacao that can survive in dryer conditions.（4）What may be the best title of this text? A.Chocolate could bee historyB.Work together to fight climate changeC.How do we grow cacao in the future?D.How do cacao plants affect climate change?【答案】（1）D（2）B（3）C（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，未來由于氣候的變化，用于制造巧克力的可可樹可能會(huì)滅絕，所以巧克力有可能會(huì)成為歷史。(1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第七段中的“‘In other words, as higher temperatures squeeze more water out of soil and plants, it39。s unlikely that rainfall will increase enough to offset the moisture (含水量) loss,’ Michon Scott, the essay39。s author, wrote.”可知未來赤道附近的可可樹很難存活，是因?yàn)槟抢锿寥乐兴值牧魇?，故選D。(2)考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)第六段中的“The problem doesn39。t lie in increased heat, however，but in lower humidity (濕度)，as it39。s believed that rainfall will stay at the same level if the temperature other words, as higher temperatures squeeze more water out of soil and plants, it39。s unlikely that rainfall will increase enough to offset the moisture (含水量) loss”的意思是換句話說，高溫帶走了土壤和植物中更多的水分，降雨量的增長(zhǎng)不足以抵消水量的流失，所以“offset”的意思是彌補(bǔ)，抵消，故選B。(3)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段中的“In the meantime
