【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 e numbers make solar farming seem like the best option. However, conservationists are quick to point out that areas where solar is expected to boom between and 2020 are home to some of the rarest birds in the United States. This could put specific bird species at risk of extinction. There exists a state order in California that 20 percent of all electricity of all energy sold should be renewable by the year 2017. This has been one driving force behind the rapid development of huge solar farms. The industry, which is expected to boom as a result of this change to renewable energy, is facing newly filed lawsuits (起訴 ) by conservationist groups. These lawsuits could slow down the approval process for the planned solar development across the Southwest. 8. What can we infer from paragraph 1? A. Solar farms require a long development period. B. Most people would be shocked by the size of solar farms. C. Solar energy equipment looks strange to most people. D. Most people think that solar energy is very beneficial. 9. The underlined word “slam” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to . A. dash B. break C. move D. slide 10. Which of the following best reflects the author?s viewpoint? A. Using solar farms is the most practical way to create energy. B. More birds are endangered by solar farms than wind farming. C. Solar farms may not be as friendly to the environment as expected. D. Ways should be found to reduce “l(fā)ake effect” caused by solar farms. 【答案】 8. D 9. A 10. C 【解析】 這是一篇說明文。 隨著太陽能在美國西南部分陽光充足的地方的發(fā)展，研究人員和環(huán)保人士開始注意到令人驚訝的環(huán)境效應(yīng)。太陽能對環(huán)境有著積極影響，但卻讓一些靠近太陽能面板的鳥類誤認(rèn)為是 “ 水 ” 的 “ 湖效應(yīng) ” 的現(xiàn)象而導(dǎo)致死亡，有可能使特定的鳥類面臨滅絕的危險 。 8. D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的 “ While solar energy is known for its positive environmental impacts,” 太陽能以其對環(huán)境的積極影響 而著稱，由句意可知：大多數(shù)人們認(rèn)為太陽能是非常有益的。通過分析可知 D符合題意。然而在至 2020 年間，太陽能有望繁榮的地區(qū)是美國一些稀有鳥類的棲息地。 這可能使特定的鳥類面臨滅絕的危險 。由此可判斷出可能能的收集讓稀有鳥類面臨滅絕，所以不像人們預(yù)期的那么有益處。故通過分析可知 D 更符合題意，故選 D。 9. A 猜測詞義題。根據(jù)第二段中的 “ The birds are drawn to what they assume to be water. They aim for the area and slam into the panels with great force.” 鳥兒被吸引到他們認(rèn)為是水的地方。他們瞄準(zhǔn)這個區(qū)域，用力撞到面板上。從句意可知，鳥兒認(rèn)是水，于是以巨大的力量沖向 “ 水面 ” 以致于撞擊到面板而撞死。故 A. dash 猛符合題意故選 A。 10. C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的內(nèi)容可知，研究人員估計， 1000 到 28000 只鳥因收集太陽能而死亡。受風(fēng)力影響的鳥類數(shù)量要大得多，從 140000 到 328000 不等。燃煤發(fā)電對鳥類造成的負(fù)面影響最大，每年造成近 800 萬人死亡。這些數(shù)字使得太陽能養(yǎng)殖看起來是最好的選擇。通過數(shù) 據(jù)對比可知，應(yīng)該是太陽能是最好的選擇、故 C 第二節(jié)（共 5 小題；每小題 2 分，滿分 10 分） 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。 What Is Fear? Few is a basic feeling arising when we fed threatened, and can have physical symptoms such as sweaty hands and an increased heart rate. ___11___ On the upside... Fear means growth. Fear tells us we are moving towards the edge of our fort zone. We are doing something unfamiliar and learning new skills. This means wt art growing, and growth means that once we go beyond the unfortable bit, we will be stronger, better and brighter than before! ___12___ Things are never as bad as they seem. In most cases, the thing we fear is never as bad as we think it will be.

But it can be a useful feeling when it es to keeping us safe. 【答案】 11. G 12. E 13. B 14. F 15. D 【解析】 本句是論說文?？謶蛛m說讓人手出汗，心跳加快等，但如果我們?nèi)松戆踩?，這就是一種有益的感覺，因為恐懼意味著成長，讓我們比以前更強大，更好，更光，讓我們比想象的要堅強！因此我們不必消除它，可以歡迎它，勇敢地面對它，總會有回報的。 【名師點睛】七選五 七選五主要考查考生對文章的整體內(nèi)容和結(jié)構(gòu)以及上下文邏輯意義的理解和掌握。該題型選項大致可分為主旨概括句（文章整體內(nèi)容）、過渡性句子（文章結(jié)構(gòu)）和注釋性句子（上下文 邏輯意義）三類。另外兩個多余的干擾項也可以通過這三個特點來排除，例如主旨概括句要么過于寬泛要么以偏概全或偏離主題，過渡性句子不能反映文章的行文結(jié)構(gòu)，注釋性句子與上文脫節(jié)等。 先看選項。我們可以通過句子的完整性或者句子后面的標(biāo)點符號來判斷該句在文章中的位置。另外，通過閱讀選項，有可能找出跟其他選項表達(dá)完全不同意思的句子，這樣的話我們就可以直接將該選項排除。 再看空前空后。由于七選五空出的是整個句子，而這些句子與句子之間，必然有一種聯(lián)系，因此我們可以通過選項中某個名詞或動詞跟空前或空后的一致性或者相關(guān) 性來確定這兩個句子之間有一種關(guān)聯(lián)性，從而選擇正確的答案。如第 5 小題與空前的小標(biāo)題是一致的。故可確定是 D。 注意代詞或定冠詞。因為我們知道，代詞是指代一個名詞或者一個句子的，然后通過代詞在句子中所做的成分我們可以推斷出它指代的句子的類型，我們要做的就是從選項中找這類句型就可以了。 注意一些特殊疑問詞。如果選項中或空前出現(xiàn)特殊疑問詞，因為對于不同特殊疑問詞的回答方式是不一樣的，比如對 why 的回答，后面要有 because 等表原因的詞，等。如第 3 小題，根據(jù)空后的 “ No” 可知應(yīng)該是一個問句從而選定 B。 注意一些連詞。如一些表示轉(zhuǎn)折的連詞， but， However， yet， though， nevertheless等，另外還有一些表示并列關(guān)系的連詞如 and， also， as well as， neither…nor ， either…or ，not only...but also， on one hand....on the othe rhand 等。因為這些連詞可以表現(xiàn)句子與句子之 間的關(guān)系，通過不同的連詞我們可以推知句子與句子之間不同的關(guān)系如第 11. G 考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)第一個小標(biāo)題下 面的一段內(nèi)容：當(dāng)我們面臨威脅時我們的手心會出汗，心跳加快等， 。通過對七處選項的對比可知 G. But it can be a useful feeling when it es to keeping us safe 但當(dāng)說到我們保持安全時，這會是一種有益的感覺，符合本題，故選 G。 12. E 考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)第 2 小標(biāo)題可知：恐懼讓我們成長。及下文內(nèi)容：恐懼讓我們將比以前更強大，更好，更光明，因此我們要感謝它。故 E 符合本題。故選 E. 13. B 考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)本空后的 “ No” 可知應(yīng)該是一個問句，因此通過對比可知，只有 B And everything
