2019-2020学年高二英语下学期第三次周考试题(无答案)第一部分：阅读理解 While clean energy is increasingly used in our daily life, global warning will continue for some decades after CO2 emissions（排放）peak. So even if emissions were to begin to decrease today, we would still face the challenge of adapting to climate change. Here I will stress some smarter and more creative examples of climate adaptation.When it es to adaptation, it is important to understand that climate change is a process. We are therefore not talking about adapting to a new standard, but to a constantly shifting set of conditions. This is why, in part at least, the US National Climate Assessment says that: “There is no one-size fits all adaptation.” Nevertheless, there are some actions that offer much and carry little risk or cost. Around the world, people are adapting in surprising ways, especially in some poor countries. Floods have bee more damaging in Bangladesh in recent decades. Mohammed Rezwan saw opportunity where others saw only disaster. His not-for-profit organization runs 100 river boats that serve as floating libraries, schools, and health clinics, and are equipped with solar panels and other municating facilities. Rezwan is creating floating connectivity（连体） to replace flooded roads and highways. But he is also working at a far more fundamental level: his staff show people how to make floating gardens and fish ponds prevent starvation during the wet season.Elsewhere in Asia even more astonishing actions are being taken. Chewang Norphel lives in a mountainous region in India, where he is known as the Ice Man. The loss of glaciers(冰川) there due to global warming represents an enormous threat to agriculture. Without the glaciers, water will arrive in the rivers at times when it can damage crops. Norphels inspiration came from seeing the waste of water over winter, when it was not needed. He directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze, and was stored until the spring. His fields of ice supply perfectly timed irrigation(灌溉) water. Having created nine such ice reserves, Norphel calculates that he has stored about 200, 000m3 of water. Climate change is a continuing process, so Norphels ice reserves will not last forever. Warming will overtake them. But he is providing a few years during which the farmers will, perhaps, be able to find other means of adapting.Increasing Earths reflectiveness can cool the planet. In southern Spain the sudden increase of greenhouses (which reflect light back to space) has changed the warming trend locally, and actually cooled the region. While Spain as a whole is heating up quickly, temperatures near the greenhouses have decreased. This example should act as an inspiration for all cities. By painting buildings white, cities may slow down the warming process.In Peru, local farmers around a mountain with a glacier that has already fallen victim to climate change have begun painting the entire mountain peak white in the hope that the added reflectiveness will restore the life-giving ice. The oute is still far from clear. But the World Bank has included the project on its of 100 ideas to save the planet”.More ordinary forms of adaptation are happening everywhere. A friend of mine owns an area of land in western Victoria. Over five generations the land has been too wet for cropping. But during the past decade declining rainfall has allowed him to plant highly profitable crops. Farmers in many countries are also adapting like thiseither by growing new produce, or by growing the same things differently. This is mon sense. But some suggestions for adapting are not. When the polluting industries argue that weve lost the battle to control carbon pollution and have no choice but to adapt, its a nonsense designed to make the case for business as usual.Human beings will continue to adapt to the changing climate in both ordinary and astonishing ways. But the most sensible form of adaptation is surely to adapt our energy systems to emit less carbon pollution. After all, if we adapt in that way, we may avoid the need to change in so many others.1. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 implies .A. adaptation is an ever-changing process B. the cost of adaptation varies with timeC. global warming affects adaptation forms D. adaptation to climate change is challenging2. What is special with regard to Rezwans project?A. The project receives government support. B. Different organizations work with each other.C. His organization makes the best of a bad situation.D. The project connects flooded roads and highways.3. What did the Ice Man do to reduce the effect of global warming?A. Storing ice for future use. B. Protecting the glaciers from melting.C. Changing the irrigation time. D. Postponing the melting of the glaciers.4. What do we learn from the Peru example?A. White paint is usually safe for buildings. B. The global warming tread cannot be stopped.C. This country is heating up too quickly. D. Sunlight reflection may relieve global warming.5. According to the author, polluting industries should .A. adapt to carbon pollution B. plant highly profitable cropsC. leave carbon emission alone D. fight against carbon pollutionIn British universities, new students have a special name: they are called Freshers. After their A-level exams, young people in the UK often make a fresh start by going to university, which can involve leaving their family and moving to a new city. _6_Freshers Week is a chance to make lots of new friends and try out different hobbies. Most universities in the UK have a Union building: a place where students go to have fun. _7_ It also hosts various societies, including sports teams, political groups, etc. Students buy a membership to be part of a society and go to social events to meet others with similar interests. Sometimes there are quite a lot of students in lectures so it is difficult to get to know people in class. Therefore, each subject has its own club, such as the English Society and the Philosophy Society._8_ Tours of the town, creative workshops and parties are great ways to socialize with others. Sometimes famous singers e and play concerts especially for the new students of the university. There are also opportunities to go on trips to theme parks or other big cities nearby.Students often move into “halls of residence” in their first year. _9_ This is an excellent way to make friends but sometimes it can be difficult if you dont get along with your new flat-mates or if the shared area gets very messy.Freshers Week can be quite an exhausting experience because so many activities happen at once. A lot of students feel homesick when they first arrive on campus and keep themselves very busy to avoid feeling sad about leaving their family. Some students use their new liberty to drink a lot of alcohol and eat unhealthy food during Freshers Week. _10_ However, it is supposed to be the best week of your life, and it is also an opportunity to make friends. Remember that it is only the beginning of your time at university and that you have three years ahead of you. A. Usually it has shops, bars and even underground nightclubs.B. They live in apartments with their own bedrooms but share a kitchen.C. The best part of it is that you can share your interests with people around.D. In Freshers Week, lots of activities are organized for Freshers to meet each other.E. Then es the great opportunity to make friends, join clubs and settle into university life.F. This can cause “Freshers flu”: people get ill after a week of late nights and non-stop parties.G. The first week of university life is called Freshers Week and is both an exciting and scary experience.第二节：完型填空 A mitment to LifeThe snow was falling and the roads had bee dangerous.
