　　“We are counting the days rather than the decades…We don’t have the time that we thought we had previously，” Kiribati President Anote Tong said.

　　Pelenise Alofa returned to Kiribati six years ago. The changes she saw led to her becoming one of the islands principal climate change campaigners. “Things began to change when I came here. I realized the king tides were big, and I told them ‘have you heard of climate change, have you heard of global warming, this is part of it, you’re in it，’” Ms Alofa told SBS. 專題六 │ 專題預(yù)測

　　Linda Uan and her New Zealand born husband John have been documenting the changing climate in Kiribati for nearly 20 years. They didn’t have to travel far to film the effects of a storm three years ago when the first time it washed through their home. “There’s been a lot of changes，” Linda said, “When we were little there was a definite dry season and a definite wet season, now you can’t feel the difference anymore.” 專題六 │ 專題預(yù)測

　　Kiribati is not just facing one knock-out punch but a whole round of killer blows. Because of its sensibility to the El Nino and La Nina weather patterns, climate scientists say droughts and floods will be more severe than in the past. Warmer seas could affect the migration patterns of fish, taking away vast taxes it gains from selling fishing licenses to foreign trawlers, while increased storms are expected to destroy crops and make the limited supply of water in the shallow water pools undrinkable. 專題六 │ 專題預(yù)測

　　It’s a claim the country will take to Copenhagen as it seeks to get the world’s big emitters (排放者) to face up to the consequences of their actions. “It’s a whole world issue，” President Tong said. “It’s a moral issue…it’s almost criminal.” 專題六 │ 專題預(yù)測

　　【文章大意】基里巴斯是太平洋上的一個島國，由于地勢極低，這個國家對氣候變化最敏感，全球性氣候變暖直接威脅到這個國家。人們將在哥本哈根國際減排會議上呼吁那些排放大國面對他們的行為帶來的后果。

　　1．D　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文章開頭可知A項錯，這是基里巴斯包括海洋在內(nèi)的面積；它的首都最寬的地方為450米，B項錯誤；從文章的敘述判斷C項不對，因為該國的人們對環(huán)境變化帶來的生存危機(jī)很擔(dān)憂。第一段說該國的人口只有十萬，其中大半住在首都，由此判斷D項正確。專題六 │ 專題預(yù)測

　　2．A　推理判斷題。第二段中該國總統(tǒng)說，我們是以“天”而不是以“十年”為計算單位(而生活)，我們沒有原先以為的那么長的時間。從語境看，這些話反映出總統(tǒng)的憂患意識。

　　3．C　推理判斷題。在第三段Alofa對周圍的人說，“……你聽說過全球性氣候變暖嗎？這就是其中一部分，你就身居其中。”顯然其含義是C，誰也逃不掉氣候變化帶來的影響。

　　4．B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。關(guān)于氣候變化帶來的影響，第五段提到旱災(zāi)、洪災(zāi)和魚的生活方式的改變，第三、四段提到潮汐與風(fēng)暴，沒有提到B(充足的淡水)。專題六 │ 專題預(yù)測

　　(二)

　　In Yemen, you always see one type of vehicle on the road: the water truck. They travel mountain roads and cross deserts to bring Yemenis a good more valuable than oil. It is one that only the rich can afford, with the supply regularly being cut off. Others must rely on scarce rain or charity to fight thirst. 專題六 │ 專題預(yù)測

　　Experts say Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water. The capital, Sanaa, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025, says a report by the World Bank.

　　Hannan, an 18-year-old from Lahej, said that only the rich could prepare for cuts in supply. “In a good week we’ll have a water supply all week but then the following week there will be water only for a day or two，” she said. 專題六 │ 專題預(yù)測

　　She and her husband, a factory worker, pay 3,000 riyals (99 yuan) for a week’s supply of water from a touring water truck when the taps run dry. With an income of only 20,000 riyals (660 yuan) a month, this means the family often spend half their money on water.

　　“There are a lot of people who can’t afford it and they have to rely on their neighbors to help，” she said. 專題六 │ 專題預(yù)測

　　The average person in Yemen survives on one-fifth of what the World Health Organization considers to be enough water.

　　In Taiz, in the south, tap water is available only once every 45 days. In the mountainous Malhan district in the north, women and children climb a 1,500-m mountain to collect water from a spring, often in the small hours to avoid long queues. 專題六 │ 專題預(yù)測

　　Yemen is located in Southwest Asia, bordering the Arabian and Red seas. Yemeni people have lived on scarce water supplies for thousands of years but that problem has been made serious by conflict in the area, the fast-growing population and the use of water to grow a drug called qat. With one of the world’s highest rates of population growth — 3.46 percent, Yemen is the poorest Arab country. 專題六 │ 專題預(yù)測

　　The government is considering desalinating (淡化) seawater, but this would be expensive and it may now be too late. The only other solution is to cut down on farming, but that means importing even more food. 專題六 │ 專題預(yù)測

　　()1.The passage aims to ________.

　　A．a(chǎn)nalyze the reasons why Yemen lacks water

　　B．suggest some solutions for the water issue in Yemen

　　C．present how serious the water problem is in Yemen

　　【文章大意】由于西南亞的也門是一個水資源特別匱乏的國家，在這里，水資源的匱乏已經(jīng)延續(xù)了幾千年，而地區(qū)沖突、人口的快速增長等問題使這個地區(qū)的飲水問題特別突出。也門也是最貧窮的阿拉伯國家。

　　1．C　推理判斷題。從全文內(nèi)容可知，本文的中心話題是介紹也門這個國家的飲水困難。專題六 │ 專題預(yù)測

　　2．B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第一段說只有富人才能買得起水，第三段Hannan說，只有富人能為水供應(yīng)減少做好準(zhǔn)備，即，假如減少了飲用水的供應(yīng)，富人能花錢買水用，而窮人則只能依靠降雨或慈善機(jī)構(gòu)的施舍。

　　3．B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從倒數(shù)第二段可知，也門的飲用水短缺是長期存在的問題，而這個國家人口的快速增長使這個問題更突出。專題六 │ 專題預(yù)測

　　4．D　主旨大意題。從所給四個選項看，A項“不要以為水是理所當(dāng)然的”與本文的核心話題無關(guān)，B“水車，也門街頭最常見的風(fēng)景”只是也門缺水的結(jié)果，只是文章內(nèi)容的一部分，C“世界上第一個用完水的國家”不全面，而D項“也門沒有水”最能形象地表達(dá)全文的內(nèi)容。專題七　社會生活類

　　專題七 │社會生活類專題五 │ 專題預(yù)測 teachers say? How great is the effect of a single important event?

　　【文章大意】幼年時，父母、朋友和較廣泛的社交圈子將影響孩子日后的生活。

　　1．D　主旨大意題。從文中所舉的電視節(jié)目Seven Up及斯皮爾伯格的小時候去影院后來終成導(dǎo)演的例子來看，文章全是圍繞著“童年經(jīng)歷對未來生活有很大影響”來展開的，故可知本文的主旨是D項。

　　2．C　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞所在句的語義“孩子們會受到父母做事的方式、所看到的電視節(jié)目及老師所講的話的影響嗎？”可知選C。專題五 │ 專題預(yù)測

　　3．A　推理判斷題。第二段第一句講到所有事例中最有趣的就是孩子們的希望和夢想在未來得到了實現(xiàn)，可見童年的希望和未來的工作是有關(guān)聯(lián)的，故本題選A。

　　4．B　推理判斷題。包括斯皮爾伯格在內(nèi)的許多導(dǎo)演都說，早期到電影院去是他們?nèi)松霓D(zhuǎn)折點，由此可見特定的兒童時期的經(jīng)歷會決定孩子未來從事的職業(yè)。

　　(二)

　　Why is it that students in less popular majors sometimes find it easier to get a job? Simple. It’s because they are out there in the “blue ocean”， a relatively untouched area.

　　專題五 │ 專題預(yù)測

　　The term was created by Chan Kim and Renee Manborgne, two professors who use it to describe less crowded parts of business and industry with little or no competition. It contrasts with the “red ocean”， which is already saturated,_ competitive, and crowded with people or companies providing the same services or producing the same goods.

　　專題五 │ 專題預(yù)測

　　According to these two authors，the primary goal of business is to enter the “blue ocean” or create a new market. This is done by creating what no one else has. Business must come up with creative things that are useful and affordable and reduce unnecessary costs. So customers get what they want for less and sellers get a higher return on their investment. When these two are combined, it’s a catalyst(催化劑)for the blue ocean market.

　　專題五 │ 專題預(yù)測

　　McDonald’s is a popular example. Traditional restaurants have waiters, table settings, menus，and a certain type of service. McDonald’s, however, was different. It did away entirely with waiters and table service，and kept the menu limited.
