答案与题解:
1 B同定搭配put the blame for…,表示“把……归咎于……”,所以put为正确答案。
2 A介词搭配,文中“the world's temperatures”前需要补充一个介词,表达在全球范围内气温的上升,因此应该在A和B之间选择。而at后面强可以跟某个小地点,根据文义,只有in才是正确答案。
3 D联系上下文,根据句意,显然作者要表达的是“以往任何时候”,因此选用ever。其他三项均不符合句意。
4 C固定搭配at risk,表达“濒临危险,处境危险”。
5 D习惯用法according to sb.表示“据某某所说”,显然选择D。
6 A根据句意,作者要举例子,习惯用法即为such as…,因此选A。
7 B根据句意,作者举例子是按照递进的顺序,从飓风、干旱到排在后面的是更加严重的问题。strict表示“严格的”,strong表示“强烈的”,heavy表示“沉重的,巨大的”,只有severe表示“严峻的,严重的”,因此B是正确答案。
8 C根据句意,导致世界各地的海平面上升,所以在A和c之间选择。raise表示“举起,抬起,唤起”,有主动意味,rise表示客观的上升,因此是正确答案。
9 B联系上下文,根据句意,根据选项,很容易理解是给政府施加压力,显然pressure最为恰当。
10 A根据句意,减少二氧化碳的排放量,二氧化碳是不可数名词,因此amount是正确答案。
ll. A固定搭配,give off表币“排放(气体、液体、光)等”,文中表达的是排放二氧化碳气体,显然选A。而give away表示“泄露,分发”,give up表示“放弃”,give over表示“停止,交出”。
12. C固定搭配in favour of……,表示“支持… ,赞成……”,所以选C。
13. D根据句意,作者表达的是“发电站”,为固定词组power station。
14. D联系上下文,上文说的是很多科学家的想法,下文转而言另外还有一些科学家的想法有转折之意,且空格在两句未完的话之间,因此惯用法选择however。
15. A根据句意,还需要等几百年,several表示“几个”,符合句意。其他―个选项均不合适。
