53、 word moderate means_.A. high windB. high temperatureC. properD. open【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述每个人都有义务也有能力保护人类共同的地球。我们可以做一些事情来保护环境：节约用水，珍惜宝贵的水源；节约纸张保护生态环境；循环利用，减少环境压力；节约能源，降低生态成本等等。【28题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“There wont be enough water before we need to fight for clean and fresh wat

54、erDont throw rubbish into the river.”(在我们需要为清洁和淡水而战之前，就不会有足够的水。这就是为什么节约用水和防止水污染变得非常重要的原因。记住一些简单的事情，比如刷牙的时候关掉水龙头。不要经常洗澡。不要把油倒进下水道。不要把垃圾扔到河里。)可知，第二段主要谈及节约用水。故选A。【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“ Save paper to save trees.”(节约纸张就是拯救树木)可知，节约纸就可以拯救树木。故选B。【30题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“Recycling is important. It makes sure that th

55、e environment is not more pollutedThis makes sure that they are changed into material that is reusable and also puts less pressure on the environment.” （回收是很重要的。它保证环境不会被污染得更严重。回收不仅仅包括纸张的回收，还包括塑料、金属以及钢笔、墨水等办公用品的回收。这可以确保它们变成可重复使用的材料，也减少了对环境的压力。)可知，回收利用能减少环境污染，故推断，回收利用可以保护环境，因此很重要。故选D。【31题详解】词义猜测题。根据下文

56、的“to save energy”(节约能源)结合常识，可知“适度设置”空调温度可以节约用电，也就是节约能源。由此可知moderate，意为“适当的”，与proper同义，故选C。【点睛】词义猜测题，要根据词、词组、句子所在的语境上下文来判断其意义。因此熟练掌握一些猜词技巧是做好这类题的关键。1.根据定义或上下文解释进行猜测。有时短文中出现一个需要猜测其意义的词或短语，下面接着出现其定义或解释，这就是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。2.根据同位关系进行猜测。阅读中出现的难词有时后面紧跟一个同位语，对前面的词进行解释，这时可利用同位关系对前面或后面的词义或句意进行猜测。3.根据构词法(前缀、后缀、

57、复合、派生等)进行猜测。在英语中，有很多词可以在前面加前缀，在后面加后缀，从而构成一个词，乍看起来，这个词可能是新词，但掌握了一定的构词知识，就不难猜出它的词义。4.根据因果关系进行猜测。在一篇阅读文章中，根据原因可以预测结果，根据结果也可以找出原因。5. 根据上下文的指代关系进行猜测。文章中的代词it, that, he, him 或them可以指上文提到的人或物，其中it和that还可以指一件事。有时代词指代的对象相隔较远，要认真查找;也有时需要对前面提到的内容进行总结，才能得出代词所指代的事。6.根据同义关系进行猜测。当词或短语之间有并列连词and 或or时，其连接的两项内容在含义上是接

58、近的或递进的，由此确定同等关系中的某个生词所属的义域，由此可推知其大致意思。7.根据转折或对比关系进行猜测.根据上下句的连接词，如but, however, otherwise等就可以看到前后句在意义上的差别，从而依据某一句的含义，来确定另一句的含义。另外，分号也可以表示转折、对比或不相干的意义。例如小题4中就是主要是通过上下文语境进行推理猜测的，故选C。DTo answer a suit(诉讼)against its “no outside food and drink ”policy, Shanghai Disneyland said on Monday that the policy i

59、s similar to that of many other theme parks across China and that guests are welcome to enjoy their own food and drink outside the park.The suit was brought by a law school student in Shanghai.

They wonder whether it is reasonable for the worlds second largest Walt Disney park not to allow visitors to bring their own food. Most agree that the food and drinks sold in the park are too expensive, making the purpose of

66、向上海迪士尼乐园提出两点诉讼请求：一、请求更改上海迪士尼乐园禁止游客携带食品入园的条款; 二、请求上海迪士尼乐园赔偿原告损失。这不是第一次上海迪士尼乐园被起诉。【32题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段的“Shanghai Disneyland said on Monday that the policy is similar to that of many other theme parks across China and that guests are welcome to enjoy their own food and drink outside the park.”（上海迪尼乐园周一表示

67、, 该政策与中国其他许多主题公园的政策类似，游客可以在乐园外享受他们的食物和饮料）可推知，他们认为自己的条款是常见的。故选B。【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“ In order to get into the park, she gave up the snacks, which were worth 46.3 yuan.”（为了进入乐园，她放弃了价值46.3元的零食）可知，女孩为了进园，只能放弃自己带的零食。故选A。【34题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段的“Most agree that the food and drinks sold in the park are too expe

68、nsive, making the purpose of making money behind the policy appear too proud.”（大多数人都认为公园里出售的食物和饮料太贵，这使得该政策背后的赚钱目的显得过于蛮横）可知，迪士尼乐园关于禁带零食的政策与他们想赚钱相关。故选C。【35题详解】推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，全文谈论华东政法大学的学生小王提起诉讼，要求上海迪士尼乐园取消关于禁带零食的王条款，据常理知，这样的文章最有可能在报纸的新闻栏目读到。故选D。【点睛】第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项
