Is global warming killing the Maldives?
The Maldives(马尔代夫) is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Every year, millions of         go there to enjoy the wonderful scenery. And in recent years, more and more people would like to visit it,       ? Because the little island country is         . If global warming           , say scientists, the country will go down into the ocean within 100 years. That means the Maldives          have disappeared by 2100.
The Maldives          in the Indian Ocean. It is the           country on earth—its highest point is only 2.4m above sea level.          Greenhouse gas emissions(排放), global temperature and sea levels will rise         9cm and 88cm by 2100. If scientists are       , most of the Maldives will be covered with water in years.
Last October, Maldivian President Mohamed Nasheed and his cabinet(内阁)held the world’s first underwater cabinet meeting to make the world         the terrible results from global warming to their own country. In December, he         at the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference(大会) in Copenhagen, trying to ask for help from the world for        country. The president even has a         to buy a new homeland and move his country and people to a new place.
The Moldavian government has been doing all it can to fight the         . But the fate(命运)of the islands is in the world’s hands. No one wants to see this little island country disappear from the world.

解析试题分析:这篇短文表达的是地处印度洋的世界海拔最低的国家——马尔代夫,由于全球变暖而面临在100年内被海水淹没而消失。因此,近年来世界上大批游客蜂拥至此。马尔代夫国家政府和人民在为本国人民的未来谋求出路,但它的命运掌握在全世界人民的手里。我们应该思考,怎样才是真正帮助这个小国。
【小题1】B考查名词及语境的理解。Scientists科学家;tourists游客; presidents总统; doctors医生。根据前句“马尔代夫是世界上最美丽的国家之一。”逻辑上自然会是“每年,数百万游客去那里欣赏美丽的风景。”因此,答案选B。
【小题2】C考查疑问词及语境的理解。Who谁;How怎样;Why为什么;When什么时候。前句“在最近几年,越来越多的人想要去参观”,后句“因为这个小小的岛国……”,根据前后句的逻辑意思,可知选C。
【小题3】A考查词组意思及语境的理解。in trouble有麻烦,困境中;for ever永远;as usual像平常一样;all right没关系,好的。根据后句的意思“科学家说,如果发生全球变暖,这个国家将会在100年内下沉到大洋里。”因此,可以判断这个国家将会有麻烦了。故选A。
【小题4】B考查动词及语境的理解。Disappears消失;happens发生;misses丢失,思念;continues继续。本句意思是“科学家说,如果发生全球变暖,这个国家将会在100年内下沉到大洋里。”根据句意可知选B。
【小题5】C考查情态动词及语境的理解。Can能,会;should应该;might可能,会;must必须,一定。对于这个岛国会不会在2100年前消失,我们不能作出非常肯定的判断,只能作假设。本句的意思是“那意味着马尔代夫可能会在2100年前就已经消失了。”这是一种虚拟语气的表达方式。答案是C。
【小题6】B考查动词及语境的理解。 Lives生活,居住;lies位于,躺; jumps跳;arrives到达。根据本句的意思应该是“马尔代夫位于印度洋里。”lie可以表示国家、城市、村庄、学校等地方的位置。故选B。
【小题7】C 考查形容词及语境的理解。Highest最高的;high高的; lowest最低的;low低。本句的后半部分提供了解释“它的最高点只有海拔2.4米。”可知前句应该是“它是地球上最低的国家。”故选C。
【小题8】B考查词组意思及语境的理解。Instead of代替;Because of因为;With the help of借助于……;Thanks for因……而感谢。前半句Greenhouse gas emissions的意思是“温室气体排放”,后句的意思是“到2100年,全球的气温和海平面将会上升9-88cm”。两句之间的逻辑关系应该是因果关系。因此选B。
【小题9】D考查介词及语境的理解。Both两个都;from从……;during在……其间;between在……(两者)之间。本句的意思是“……在9至88cm之间。”both 9cm and 88cm“9cm和88cm都”; from 后搭配to; between 9cm and 88cm“在9cm和88cm之间”符合句子意思。故选D 。
【小题10】B考查形容词及语境的理解。Wrong错误的;correct正确的;helpful有帮助的; dangerous危险的。本句的意思是“如果科学家的话是……的,那么这些年后马尔代夫的大部分地方将会被水覆盖。”根据意思可知选B。
【小题11】C考查动词及语境的理解。Get得到,获得;guess猜,猜出;realize认识到,意识到;expect期待。全句比较长,held the world’s first underwater cabinet meeting这部分的意思是“召开了世界上第一次水底内阁会议”,the terrible results from global warming to their own country这部分的意思是“由全球变暖而给他们自己的国家带来的恶劣后果”。那这次会议要使全世界“认识到”这一点。根据句意得出选C。
【小题12】B 考查动词及语境的理解。Served服务,服侍; spoke讲话;worked工作; sang歌唱。本句意思是“十二月,他(总统)在哥本哈根召开的联合国2009年度世界气候变化大会上讲话,”故选B。
【小题13】A考查物主代词。His他的;their他们的;its它的;your你的。句意是“……试图呼吁世界对他的国家提供帮助。”因此选A。
【小题14】C考查名词及语境的理解。Task任务; problem问题; plan计划; notice注意。本句意思是“总统甚至有一个……要买一个新的家园,把他的国家和人民搬迁到一个新的地方。”由此得知此处可以填“计划”。故选C。
【小题15】D考查名词及语境的理解。Tourists游客;place地方; island 岛屿; sea海洋。本句意思是“马尔代夫政府一直在做他们力所能及的一切事来战胜海洋。”而不是战胜其它的东西。故选D。

As we all know, the Internet has become part of teenagers(青少年)       . A new reporter on 3,375 students aged from 10 to 18 in seven Chinese cities found that 38 percent of them used the Internet very       .
Most of them get useful information and use the Internet to help in their studies, but some are not using it in a        way .Many are playing online games too much.       even visit websites (网站)they should not look at. A teacher from Yucai Middle School says that bad things can happen if young people       too much time on the Internet. She had a student who used to be (曾经)good at school.     then he started visiting unhealthy websites. He went mad(变得疯狂),cheated(欺骗)a girl and was taken away by the police.
In order to help young people use the Internet       a good way, a textbook on good Internet behavior(行为) has started to be used in some middle schools this term. The book uses real examples to       students about good ways of using the Internet. The book gives useful advice such as to read news or to find helpful     to study. Teachers and parents all think the book is very good.
The book will be a guide (向导) for teens to use the Internet. We believe it will keep students away from bad websites, and teach students       to be a good person in the online world.
