These people are the most sensitive to the rise of sea level as well as to the increased number of floods and intensified (加剧的) storms. By using recent increased resolution datasets, Aalto University researchers estimate that 1.9 billion inhabitants, or about 26% of the worlds total population, live closer than 100km from the coast in areas less than 100 meters above present sea level. By 2050 the amount of people in that zone is predicted to increase to 2.4 billion, while population living lower than 5 meters will reach 500 million. Many of these people need to adapt their livelihood to changing climate, says Assistant Professor Matti Kummu from Aalto University.The study found that while population and wealth concentrate by the sea, crops must be grown further and further away from where people live. So highlands and mountain areas are increasingly important from this point of view.Over the past century there has been a clear tendency that cropland and pasture (牧场) areas have grown mostly in areas outside the population hotspots and decreased in coastal areas. This will most probably only continue in the future, adds Professor Olli Varis from Aalto University.Even though people and wealth continue to accumulate in coastal areas, their growth is even faster in inland and mountainous areas, the study reveals. This contradicts the existing studies. In the future, the world will be less diverse in terms of urbanization and economic output, when assessing it from a geospatial (地理空间) point of view.For the analysis, researchers used several global gridded (网格化的) datasets. They first created geographical zoning in relation to the elevation and proximity to coast. This was then used to study the factors included in the study, which were grouped into five clusters: climate, population, agriculture, economy, and impact on the environment. For the factors with temporal extent, the researchers also assessed their development over a time period of 1900 2050.3What can be known about those living close to sea coast?AThey will survive sea level rise.BThey have been accustomed to sea level rise.CThey suffer more floods than storms.DThey are most easily affected by sea level rise.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第一段中的“These people are the most sensitive .intensified (加剧的) storms.”可知，这些人最容易受到海平面上升所带来的影响。4Why will highlands and mountain areas bee more important?ABecause they will provide food for coastal areas.BBecause the population there will increase quickly.CBecause they will be less affected by sea level rise.DBecause they offer people a greener lifestyle.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知，尽管人口和财富在海边聚集，但种植作物的地方必须离人们居住的地方越来越远，而正是基于该原因，高地和山区才变得越来越重要，故选A。5What is the writing purpose of the passage?ATo analyze factors contributing to climate change.BTo tell people potential effects of sea level rise.CTo call on people to take measures to stop sea level rise.DTo increase peoples awareness of environmental protection.解析：选B写作意图题。通读全文可知，本文旨在让人们知道海平面的上升给全球带来的潜在影响。故选B。C(xx江苏省苏北四市高三期末联考)With Apples iPhone 7 and Googles new Pixel phones putting such an emphasis on powerful camera technology, smartphone photography is more powerful than ever.

Immediately successful, it won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize and has bee a classic of modern American literature. In 1991 an organization conducted a survey that made readers identify books that had “made a difference” in their lives. The result? Lees book trailed only The Bible. Alongside the works of Shakespeare and Twain, this novel remains one of the most widely taught books nationwide, reaching about 70% of American public schools. What makes it such a typical read for young people? English class is a place where young Americans e to know themselves. In the folds of dusty books, students can make contact with humanity beyond the shallow small talk of the school hallways. Disturbed by hormones and anxiety, teenagers get through school with confusion and frustration. Literature is a safety valve (安全阀) it promises relief, a place to figure out ones problems and get to know oneself better.The novel particularly distinguishes itself in this aspect. It speaks in a childs voice without treating its readership as children. Some critics have called it an “impossible” achievement, a childrens book penned by a welleducated adult its unlikely that a child like Scout could exist in the real world. But thats exactly what makes it such a charming, attractive read for young people. It indicates the consciousness of a welleducated adult facing difficult realities, but describes it through the light and playful voice of a curious little girl.Gaby Hick, a thirdyear student focused on English literature at Brown University, calls it “one of the first books that kids and young adults read and that deal with serious issues rape, race, mental issues”. She adds, “The story makes these adult themes accessible because of Scout.” The books setting, a small town in Alabama affected by the Great Depression of the 1930s, may appear very different from the experience of most kids reading it today. But Lees words make her story feel alive and present.In xx, however, critic Thomas Mallon expressed his regret about the books avoiding moral plexity in The New Yorker. But her novel makes a great teaching tool for teenagers precisely because its moral view is as clear as that of one of Aesops fables. That absence of ambiguity in this novel doesnt mean the novel is free of challenging ideas, either. Will Serratelli, another literature student at Brown says, “There arent many hard moral questions being asked . but it opens up all these other questions that I hadnt thought about before. My English teachers always asked, Do you sympathize with this character? Would you want to hang out with them? When you give a kid a book where those questions dont even need to be asked, it_forces_them_to_dig_deeper.”Mallons criticism is accurate in that this novel may present too limited a view of racism in America. Thats especially problematic because it is one of the only books consistently assigned to American students that acknowledge racial discrimination at all. However, To Kill a Mockingbird may owe some of its popularity as a teaching text to the fact that the narrative voice is a white one. Naomi Varnis, an African Studies student at Brown says, “Its another practice of telling stories about black people through white central characters.”While the novel is undoubtedly worth its place in the classroom, English teachers may do well to consider that it is a white authors perspective and ought to be the only beginning of a dialogue about race and never the final word. But as a gateway to more mature ideas, and as a YA (young adult) distillation (提炼) of plex concepts young people may not have grasped before, Lees novel is invaluable.语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了美国著名小说家哈珀李及人们对她的作品的一些看法。10According to the passage, the novel To Kill a Mockingbird can help us _.Aknow more about the past US economic situationBunderstand what the real personality of humans isCreduce much anxiety for fear of losing ourselvesDfind and deal with some other plicated questions解析：选C细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句可知，由于受到荷尔蒙和焦虑的困扰，青少年们在学校里感到困惑和沮丧。文学是一个安全阀，它给人们提供慰藉，能帮助人们发现自身的问题并更好地了解自己。故答案为C。11What does the underlined word “trailed” most probably mean in Paragraph 1?AWas as good as.BTried hard to defeat.CWent along the same route as.DHad a lower score than.解析：选D词义猜测题。根据画线词下文中的“Alongside the works of Shakespeare and Twain . reaching about 70% of American public schools.”可知，连同莎士比亚和马克吐温的作品一起，这部小说在全国被广泛用于教学中，大约70%的美国公立学校在使用这部小说。显然这部小说是很重要的，再结合画线词所在句中的“only”可知，此处指这部小说只是“落后于”圣经，也就是指得分比圣经少。trail在此处作动词，意为“落后”。12What can we conclude from Will Serratellis statement underlined in Paragraph 5?AThe kids are motivated to think further.BThe kids have to face more moral questions.CThe kids tend to sympathize with the characters.DThe kids are unwilling to answer challenging questions.解析：选A句意理解题。根据第五段中的“There arent many hard moral questions being asked . but it opens up all these other questions that I hadnt thought about before.”可知，这部小说中并没有提出很多高深的道德问题，但是针对其他问题这部小说提供了开放空间。显然这部小说培养了学生进一步思考的能力。再结合画线句的字面意思可知，此处表示激励孩子们更深刻地思考。故答案为A。13Why is the novel well received by teenagers in the US?ABecause it reveals racial discrimination in America.BBecause it makes some serious adult issues accessible.CBecause a white author tells the stories about black people.DBecause it is widely used as a tool for moral judgments in society.解析：选B细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Some critics have called it an impossible achievement . voice of a curious little girl.”可知，一些评论家认为，这部小说是令人不可思议的佳作它是由受过良好教育的成年人执笔的一本儿童读物，这正是这部小说魅力无穷、吸引众多年轻人阅读的原因。这部小说以充满好奇心的小女孩那轻快、玩味般的口吻道出了饱读诗书的成年人在面对着现实种种艰辛时产生的点滴感悟；再结合第四段中的“one of the first books that kids and young adults read and that deal with serious issues rape, race, mental issues” “The story makes these adult themes accessible because of Scout.”可知，这部小说之所以在美国受到青少年的欢迎是因为其揭示了一些严肃的成人问题。14Who points out straight the shorting of the novel?AThomas Mallon.
