‎2014届高考英语二轮复习 三月精品练习阅读理解 ‎1．.‎ CISHAN,Aug 12-Hundreds of people were still missing today in remote villages in southern Taiwan and disaster officials said they were uncertain how many people might have been killed by mudslides triggered by Typhoon Morakot.‎ Morakot, which did terrible damage to Taiwan over the weekend, has killed about 70 people across the island and caused farm-related loss of more than NT $9 billion (RMB 964 million). More than 100 people have been killed in Asia due to Morakot and tropical storm Etau.‎ ‎  But several hundred villagers listed as missing were found alive in areas where roads were washed out and access was limited to helicopters. The government sent special forces with satellite phones to the hardest hit areas."We are anxious to do our best to get the trapped people out," said Hu Jul-chou, an army official involved in the rescue effort. "Hopes are getting slimmer as the days go by."Hu said it was unclear how many people were buried and feared dead in villages in southern Taiwan.‎ ‎  "I have to say I feel pretty good to be alive," said Lin Dong-wen, 45, from the village‎ of ‎Namahsia, sitting in front of a pile of medicine after being hoisted away by a rescue helicopter."If I had been left there any longer, I wouldn't have made it. I saw the mudslide coming," said Lin after arriving in Cishan, hub of rescue efforts."It was really huge, and I passed out. When I awoke, there was mud all over and I climbed out of it."‎ Helicopters dropped food and supplies to survivors .Other rescue teams piloted rubber dinghies through raging muddy rivers.‎ Groups of anxious relatives awaited the arrival of helicopter flights at the makeshift rescue base.Some survivors tried to call relatives on mobile phones."Right after the mudslide, we managed to get in touch with our family members through mobile phones and text messages," said 41-year-old teacher awaiting news at the rescue hub. "But later they switched off their phones to save power."‎ ‎45. From the text we know that _________________‎ A Morakot has made more than 100 people dead in ‎Taiwan B Morakot has caused as much loss to Taiwan as other parts C Morakot stayed over Taiwan over the week D Morakot has brought worries to the officials ‎46. The villagers who were thought to be missing_________.‎ A were trapped in some areas B wouldn’t get in touch with others C only liked to be taken out by helicopter D wanted to keep the buried company ‎47.According to Lin Dong-wen,________‎ A the disaster lasted for a long time B the village was destroyed in a flash C he wanted to hold the mudslide D the mudslide frightened him into unconsciousness ‎48.Which of the following is true according to the text ?‎ A All the survivors trapped have been rescued by helicopters.‎ B All the relatives can ring the survivors C The government has adopted other rescue forms.‎ D The mudslide will become more serious.‎ My mind went blank when I saw the gun pointing against the car window as we pulled out of the garage. This can’t be happening to me. Then I felt the gun, cold, against my head, and I heard my friend Jeremy saying, “What do you want? Take my wallet,” but at the time I thought of nothing. ‎ I remember being a little annoyed when the gunman pulled me from the car by the hair. I remember the walk to the house --- Jeremy, me, the two men with two guns. I remember the fear and anger in the gunmen’s voices because Jeremy was being slow, and I remember wondering why he was being slow. I did not realize that Jeremy had thrown the keys into the bush. But I remember that sound of the gun hitting Jeremy’s head and the feeling as the man who had hold of my hair released me. And I remember the split second when I realized he was looking at Jeremy, and I remember wondering how far I could run before he pulled the trigger. But I was already running, and upon reaching the car across the street, I didn’t crouch(蹲伏) behind it but screamed instead. ‎ I remember thinking there was something ridiculous and illogical about screaming “Help, help!” at eight o’clock on a Tuesday evening in December and changing my plea(恳求) to the more specific “Help, let me in, please let me in!” But the houses were cold, closed, unfriendly, and I ran on until I heard Jeremy’s screams behind me announcing that our attackers had fled. ‎ The neighbors who had not opened their doors to us came out with baseball bats and helped Jeremy find his glasses and keys. In a group they were very brave. We waited for the police to come until someone said to someone else that the noodles were getting cold, and I said politely, “Please go and eat. We’re OK.” ‎ I was happy to see them go. They had been talking of stricter sentences for criminals, of bringing back the death penalty(处罚) and how the President is going to clean up the country. I was thinking, they could be saying all of this over my dead body, and I still feel that stiffer sentences wouldn’t change a thing. In a rush all the anger I should have felt for my attackers was directed against these contented people standing in front of their warm, comfortable homes talking about all the guns they were going to buy. What good would guns have been to Jeremy and me? ‎ People all over the neighborhood had called to report our screams, and the police turned out in force twenty minutes later. They were ill-tempered about what was, to them, much trouble about nothing. After all, Jeremy was hardly hurt, and we were hopeless when it came to describing the gunmen. “Typical,” said one policeman when we couldn’t even agree on how tall the men were. Both of us were able to describe the guns in horrifying detail, but the two policemen who stayed to make the report didn’t think that would be much help. ‎ The policemen were matter-of-fact about the whole thing. The thin one said, “That was a stupid thing to do, throwing away the keys. When a man has a gun against your head you do what you’re told.” Jeremy looked properly ‎ embarrassed. ‎ Then the fat policeman came up and the thin one went to look around the outside of the house. “That was the best thing you could have done, throwing away the keys,” he said. “If you had gone into the house with them…” His voice became weaker. “They would have hurt her” --- he twisted his head toward me --- “and killed you both.” Jeremy looked happier. “Look,” said the fat policeman kindly, “there’s no right or wrong in the situation. There’s just luck.” ‎ All that sleepless night I replayed the moment those black gloves came up to the car window. How long did the whole thing last? Three minutes, five, eight? No matter how many hours of my life I may spend reliving it, I know there is no way to prepare for the next time --- no intelligent response to a gun. The fat cop was right. There’s only luck. The next time I might end up dead. ‎ And I’m sure there will be a next time. It can happen anywhere, anytime, to anyone. Security is an illusion(幻觉); there is no safety in locks or in guns. Guns make some people feel safe and some people feel strong, but they’re fooling themselves.‎ ‎2．When the writer saw the gun pointing against the car window, ________.‎ A. she felt very annoyed ‎ B. she lost consciousness C. she felt very much nervous ‎ D. she lost the power of thinking ‎3．What most possibly drove the two gunmen away?‎ A. Jeremy’s fighting B. The author’s screaming ‎ C. Their neighbour’s brave action D. The police’s arrival ‎4． When the author called for help, the neighbors didn’t come out immediately because ________.‎ A. they were much too frightened B. they were busy preparing dinners C. they needed time to find baseball bats D. they thought someone was playing a trick ‎5．The author was happy to see the neighbors go because ________.‎ A. she hated to listen to their empty talk B. she did not want to become an object of pity C. she was angered by their being late to come to her help D. she wanted to be left alone with Jeremy to get over the shock ‎6．The police were rather angry because ________.‎ A. the author was not hurt and gave a false alarm ‎ B. they thought it was a case of little importance C. the author and Jeremy could not tell the police anything D. the gunmen had already fled when they arrived on the scene ‎ ‎7．What the author wants to tell us is that ________.‎ A. neighbors are not helpful in moments of difficulty B. the police are not reliable when one is in trouble C. security is impossible as long as people can have guns D. preventing robbers entering your house is the best choice Besides calling 911, here is what to do in some life-threatening emergencies when no oneis ‎ ‎ around to help. ‎ Lost in the wilderness First, you’ve got to acknowledge you’re in trouble. Stay where ‎ you can be seen clearly and remember to rest. Keeping a sense ‎ of humor helps too—it reduces stress and helps creative thinking.‎ In a wide open area, make a colorful cross out of rocks to show ‎ your present position.‎ ‎ ‎ Choking ‎ Aim to hit the top of the chair against your stomach, in the soft part ‎ below the bony upside-down V of the ribs（肋骨）. Make a sudden ‎ push against the chair. If you still can’t breathe after six tries, call 911, ‎ even if you can’t talk. Write the word choking somewhere nearby, and ‎ leave the line open until help arrives.‎ Severe bleeding Use your hand or clean cotton, or paper towels, or a scarf, ‎ or any cloth you can find, and push down on the wound ‎ until the bleeding stops. But if you put a band around ‎ your leg tightly, you’re going to close the vessels（血管）‎ to the entire leg. In this way, you could lose your foot.‎ Bear attack If you surprise a bear, don’t run away. That invites an attack. ‎ Instead, stand up and back away slowly, without looking the ‎ bear in the eyes. If it does charge at you, stick out your chest, ‎ raise your arms, and spread your legs. Shout at the bear, to ‎ frighten it. If it’s going to attack, lie facedown, with your hands held firmly behind your neck. Play dead until you’re sure the bear ‎ is gone.‎ ‎8．When you see a colorful cross made of rocks in the wilderness, you know .‎ ‎ A．someone is bleeding B．someone is choking ‎ C．someone is lost D．someone is attacked by a bear ‎9．If you are still choking after six tries, you should .‎ ‎ A．keep a sense of humor B．call 911 and leave the line open ‎ C．use your hand our clean cotton D．lie down with your hands behind your neck ‎10．Don’t tie around your bleeding leg tightly, or you could .‎ ‎ A．stop bleeding B．reduce stress ‎ C．lose your foot D．cause breathlessness ‎11．The passage is mainly teaching us how to .‎ ‎ A．survive the emergencies B．avoid a bear attack ‎ C．deal with a choke D．find our way ‎ I have only once been in trouble with the law．The whole process of being arrested and taken to court was a rather unpleasant experience at the time, but it makes a good story now． What makes it rather disturbing was the arbitrary（随意的）circumstances both of my arrest and my subsequent （随后的） fate in court．‎ It happened in February about twelve years ago．I had left school a couple of months before that and was not due to go to university until the following October．I was still living at home at the time．‎ One morning I was in Richmond, a suburb of London near where I lived．I was looking for a temporary job so that I could save up some money to go traveling．As it was a fine day and I was in no hurry, I was taking my time, looking in shop windows, strolling in the park, and sometimes just stopping and looking around me．It must have been this obvious aimlessness that led to my downfall．‎ It was about half past eleven when it happened．I was just walking out of the local library, having unsuccessfully sought employment there, when I saw a man walking across the road with the obvious intention of talking to me．I thought he was going to ask me the time．Instead, he said he was a police officer and he was arresting me．At first I thought it was some kind of joke But then another policeman appeared, this time in uniform, and I was left in no doubt．‎ ‎'But what for?" I asked ‎‘Wandering with intent to commit an arrestable offence,' he said．‎ ‎‘What offence?' I asked ‎'Theft,' he said ‎'Theft of what?'I asked ‎'Milk bottles,' he said, and with a perfectly straight face too!‎ ‎'Oh,' I said．‎ It turned out there had been a lot of petty thefts in the area, particularly that of stealing milk bottles from doorsteps．‎ Then I made my big mistake．At the time I was nineteen, had long untidy hair, and regarded myself as pan of the sixties' 'youth counterculture'．As a result, I wanted to appear cool and unconcerned with the incident, so I said, 'How long have you been following me? in the most casual and conversational tone I could manage．I thus appeared to them to be quite familiar with this sort of situation, and it confirmed them in their belief that I was a thoroughly disreputable （品行不端的） character．‎ ‎ A few minutes later a police car arrived．‎ ‎ 'Get in the back,' they said．'Put your hands on the back of the front seat and don't move them．'‎ ‎ They got in on either side of me．It wasn't funny any more．‎ ‎ At the police station they questioned me for several hours．I continued to try to look worldly and familiar with the situation．When they asked me what I had been doing, I told them I'd been looking for a job．'Aha,' I could see them thinking, 'unemployed'．‎ Eventually, I was officially charged and told to report to Richmond Magistrates' Court the following Monday．Then they let me go．‎ I wanted to conduct my own defense in court, but as soon as my father found out what had happened, he hired a very good solicitor （律师） ．We went along that ‎ Monday armed with all kinds of witnesses, including my English teacher from school as a character witness．But he was never called on to give evidence．My 'trial' didn't get that far．The magistrate （法官） dismissed the case after fifteen minutes．1 was free．The poor police had never stood a chance．The solicitor even succeeded in getting costs awarded against the police．‎ And so I do not have a criminal record．But what was most shocking at the time was the things my release from the charge so clearly depended on．I had the 'right' accent, respectable middle-class parents in court, reliable witnesses, and I could obviously afford a very good solicitor．Given the obscure nature of the charge．I feel sure that if I had come from a different background, and had really been unemployed, there is every chance that I would have been found guilty．While asking for costs to be awarded, my solicitor's case quite obviously revolved （回转） around the fact that I had a 'brilliant academic record'．‎ Meanwhile, just outside the courtroom, one of the policemen who had arrested me was gloomily complaining to my mother that another youngster had been turned against the police． 'You could have been a bit more helpful when we arrested you,' he said to me reproachfully （责备地） ．‎ What did he mean? Probably that I should have looked outraged （暴怒）and said something like, 'Look here, do you know who you're talking to? I am a highly successful student with a brilliant academic record．How dare you arrest me!' Then they, probably, would have apologized perhaps even taken off their caps, and let me on my way．‎ ‎12．Judging from the first paragraph, the writer's attitude towards his story is _______．‎ A．angry B．sad C．amused D．more than just one of the above ‎13．The first man who came up to him was ______．‎ A．a uniformed policeman B．a policeman in plainclothes C．not a policeman D．a good joker ‎14．The court never asked the author's English teacher to give evidence because _______．‎ A．the time for the trial was limited to fifteen minutes only B．the author wanted to conduct his own defense in court C．the case was dismissed before the trial reached that stage D．he was found to be unqualified as a character witness ‎15．The author believes that he would most probably have been declared guilty if _______．‎ A．the magistrate had been less gentle B．he had really been out of work C．he had been born in a lower—class family D．both B and C ‎16．In the opinion of one of the policeman who had arrested the author, the whole thing might not have occurred if ______．‎ A．he had protested strongly at the time B．he had begged to be allowed to go home C．he hadn't wandered aimlessly D．he had tried to look cool ‎17．We can see from the passage that the author ______．‎ A．has broken the law only once B．has never broken the law C．has broken the law on more than one occasion D．once broke the law without knowing it I am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language — the way it can evoke（唤起） an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them all — all the Englishes I grew up with.‎ ‎ Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, I've been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as "broken" English. But I feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than "broken", as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked certain wholeness. I've heard other terms used, "limited English," for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people's perceptions(认识) of the limited English speaker.‎ ‎ I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother's "limited" English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.‎ I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I won't get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for a lack of a better term might be described as "broken", and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal (内在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure: I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show; her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.‎ ‎46. 18．By saying "Language is the tool of my trade", the author means that ______.‎ ‎ A. she uses English in foreign trade B. she is fascinated by languages ‎ C. she works as a translator D. she is a writer by profession ‎47. 19．The author used to think of her mother's English as ______.‎ ‎ A. impolite B. amusing C. imperfect D. practical ‎48. 20．Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?‎ ‎ A. Americans do not understand broken English.‎ ‎ B. The author's mother was not respected sometimes.‎ ‎ C. The author' mother had positive influence on her.‎ ‎ D. Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts.‎ ‎49. 21．The author gradually realizes her mother's English is _____.‎ ‎ A. well structured B. in the old style ‎ C. easy to translate D. rich in meaning ‎50. 22．What is the passage mainly about?‎ ‎ A. The changes of the author's attitude to her mother's English.‎ ‎ B. The limitation of the author's perception of her mother.‎ ‎ C. The author's misunderstanding of "limited" English.‎ ‎ D. The author's experiences of using broken English.‎ Not long ago the movie 2012 came into screen. The people were threatened by those scenes of destroying flood, severe earthquake, terrifying hurricane and constructions representing human civilization being destroyed and even swallowed by disaster. Luckily, they are just the director’s imagination, but the present situation is not heading a positive direction, either.‎ ‎ Take my own experience in Alaska as an example. Once I took a trip to the glacier. Along the way there stood signposts marking the snow lines of different years. They started from the foot of the mountain, but it was at the top when I finally saw melting glaciers(融化的冰川). My heart ached seeing the beautiful blue ice melting at every second.‎ ‎ Sad but true, they are the effects of global warming and the result of our human impact. Furthermore, each year the rising sea level will kill 56 million people, and that's about the population of the en tire Italy. According to studies, if the temperature keeps on rising like this, by the year 2050, some islands and coastal cities including New York, Shanghai, Tokyo and Sydney will be drowned in water.‎ ‎ Our fortune is in our own hands. It depends on us to shape our future, to reduce future human impact and find ways to form a peaceful relationship with our environment. Therefore, it's time for actions to be taken right now. Contribute a little to energy saving by using more efficient light bulbs and less hot water. Let recycle become our habit by thinking twice before throwing something away. Let us take public transportation as our first choice when going to a certain place. It might cost more time for now, but it' s to the benefit of a permanent future. Take care of every tree and grass around us by watering them or simply just avoid destroying them．‎ ‎ In a word, small drops of water make a big ocean. The earth does not belong to us. On the contrary, we belong to the earth. Please bear in mind that the earth is our home. It is our responsibility to build a brighter and better future of our planet and prevent what happened in the movie 2012 from becoming reality． ‎ ‎23．Why does the author talk about the movie ‎2012 in the passage ? ‎ A．To give example． B．To lead into the topic．‎ C．To make prediction． D．To provide the evidence．‎ ‎24．How did the author feel when he took a trip to the glacier?‎ A．Worried． B．Puzzled． C．Scared． D．Bored．‎ ‎25．It can be inferred from the third paragraph that .‎ A．56 million people in Italy have been killed owing to the rising sea level B．Some islands and coastal cities will be drowned in water by the year of 2050‎ C．Human being w订l be in danger if we don't take actions to prevent the global warming D．It is certain that what happened in the movie 2012 will come into reality ‎26．According to the passage, you are advised to .‎ A．drive our own private cars instead of taking buses to some place B．recycle everything that is used C．go to see the movie 2012 at once D．work together to take good care of our planet ‎27．What does the author mean by saying "small drops of water make a big ocean"?‎ A．Think twice before taking action, ‎ B． It's our duty to protect the ocean．‎ C．Everyone together can make a difference．‎ D． It's important to save every drop of water．‎ 参考答案 ‎1．‎ ‎45 D ‎46 A 47 B ‎48 C ‎ ‎【解析】‎ ‎2．D ‎3．B ‎4．A ‎5．A ‎6．B ‎7．C ‎【解析】‎ 试题分析：在这篇文章里，作者描述了一个夜晚她和朋友杰里米被持枪者劫持，后来作者找机会逃跑并大声呼喊“救命！”才吓跑了持枪者。邻居们的电话报告了我们的尖叫，武装警察20分钟后赶到，认为这种情况是小题大做。因为杰里米几乎没有受伤。这一次我是幸运的，但是第二次我会死去的。只要人们手里有枪就不会有安全可言。枪使一些人感到安全并且一些人感到强大，但事实并非如此。‎ ‎2．细节理解题。根据My mind went blank可知，看到枪正对着轿车的窗口时我的大脑一片空白。与D项（她的脑子不转了。）意思一致。‎ ‎3．推理判断题。根据文章的People all over the neighborhood had called to report our screams（所有的邻居们已经打电话报告了我们的尖叫）与B项（作者的尖叫。）相符。‎ ‎4．推理判断题。根据The neighbors who had not opened their doors to us came out with baseball bats，… 可知（没有开门的这家邻居冲我们打开了门，带着棒球棒出来……在这些人里他们是很勇敢的。）可知与A项（邻居没有马上出门是出于害怕）意思一致。‎ ‎5．推理判断题。根据I was thinking, they could be saying all of this over my dead body, and I still feel that stiffer sentences wouldn’t change a thing. （我在想，他们可能对着我的死尸也会说这些话，我仍然认为严厉的审判不会改变一件事。）可知与A项（她不想听他们说空话。）意思一致。‎ ‎6．细节判断题。根据They were ill-tempered about what was, to them, much trouble about nothing. （他们很生气，对他们来说，这是小题大做。）可知与 B（警察相当生气是因为这件事无足轻重。）意思一致。‎ ‎7．推理判断题。根据What good would guns have been to Jeremy and me? （枪对于杰里米和我有什么好？）和there is no safety in locks or in guns.（在锁和枪里没有安全可言。）可知与C（安全是不可能的只要人们手里有枪。）‎ 考点: 生活百态类阅读。‎ ‎8．C ‎9．B ‎10．C ‎11．A ‎【解析】略 ‎12．D ‎13．B ‎14．C ‎15．D ‎16．A ‎17．B ‎【解析】‎ 试题分析：我曾经有过法律方面的麻烦。整个被捕和送上法庭的过程在当时相当令人不愉快。我正走出当地的图书馆。还没找到工作。一个便衣警察走过去要逮捕他。随后几个警察就把他带走了。我父亲听说后请来最好的律师，准备证人证言，结果审判15分钟就结束了。我被当庭宣告无罪释放。只因为我的家人是不错的中产阶级，否则可能就会有牢狱之灾了。‎ ‎12．推理判断题。第一段的大意是：我曾经有过法律方面的麻烦。整个被捕和送上法庭的过程在当时相当令人不愉快，但是现在已经成为一个不错的故事。令人烦恼的是对我的被捕和随后法庭上的命运的随意的情形。由此判断作者对他这段经历的感受很复杂，不止一种。故选D。‎ ‎13．细节理解题。第四段大意是：当时碰巧是十一点半。我正走出当地的图书馆。还没找到工作，这时我看到一个人穿过马路很明显是想和我说话。我原以为他是要问时间，他却说他是警察要逮捕我。一开始我以为是开玩笑。由此判断第一个走向他的人是个便衣警察。故选B。‎ ‎14．细节理解题。根据 文中的We went along that Monday armed with all kinds of witnesses, including my English teacher from school as a character witness．But he was never called on to give evidence．My 'trial' didn't get that far．The magistrate （法官） dismissed the case after fifteen minutes．1 was free．The poor police had never stood a chance．The solicitor even succeeded in getting costs awarded against the police．（我们（和律师）一起在周一准备了各种各样的证据，包括请我学校的英语老师做我品行方面的证人。但是他没有被请来作证。我的审讯没到那一步。法官15分钟后结束了案子。我自由了。）判断，选C。‎ ‎15．细节理解题。根据倒数第三段的意思：我没有犯罪记录。但是当时很令人震惊的是我从被起诉的这个案子中解脱出来依靠的东西。我的口语很“正”，受人尊敬的中产阶级的父母在法庭上，有可靠的证据，而且很显然我能请得起好律师，考虑到控诉的不清不楚。我感觉如果我的背景正相反，真的失业了，很可能就被判有罪了。 所以，失业和出身地位低都包括。故选D。‎ ‎16．推理判断题。根据最后两段的意思：警察抱怨作者当时没有抗议、表现出理直气壮、很愤怒并表明自己是很优秀的学生的身份等。这样可能警察会脱帽致歉歉让行。故选A。‎ ‎17．推理判断题。根据作者所描述的事情的经过判断，作者并没有做任何违法的事情。故选B。‎ 考点：生活百味类阅读。‎ ‎18．D ‎19．C ‎20．B ‎ ‎21．D ‎22．A ‎【解析】略 ‎23．B ‎24．A ‎25．C ‎26．D ‎27．C ‎【解析】‎ 试题分析：本文描述了全球变暖导致海平面上升，对人类的生活产生了很大的影响。号召我们团结起来，共同努力保护好我们的地球。‎ ‎23．B 推理题。文章在第一段中提及《2012》主要是想通过里面的场景来引起下面要讨论的话题，就是全球变暖对气候的影响。故B正确。‎ ‎24．A 推理题。根据第二段最后一句they started from the foot of the mountain, but it was at the top when I finally saw melting glaciers(融化的冰川). My heart ached seeing the beautiful blue ice melting at every second.说明我对此现象很担忧，故A正确。‎ ‎25．C 推理题。根据第三段最后2行According to studies, if the temperature keeps on rising like this, by the year 2050, some islands and coastal cities including New York, Shanghai, Tokyo and Sydney will be drowned in water.说明如果这样的情况继续，人类会受到很大的威胁，故C项正确。‎ ‎26．D 推理题。根据文章最后一句It is our responsibility to build a brighter and better future of our planet and prevent what happened in the movie 2012 from becoming reality可知保护环境是我们共同的责任，所以我们要一起努力来保护好我们的地球。故D正确。‎ ‎27．C 推理题。根据本句In a word, small drops of water make a big ocean. The earth does not belong to us.说明这个地球不仅仅属于我们，属于每个人，所以我们要一起努力。每个人都会起很大的作用。故C正确。‎ 考点：考查环境保护类短文阅读 点评：本文描述了全球变暖导致海平面上升，对人类的生活产生了很大的影响。本文主要考查推理题。在解题时要立足已知，推断未知。立足现在，猜测未来。不能主观臆想，凭空想象，随意揣测，更不能以自己的观点代替作者的观点;要把握句、段之间的逻辑关系，了解语篇的结构。要体会文章的基调，揣摸作者的态度，摸准逻辑发展的方向，悟出作者的弦外之音。‎
