共用题干The Arctic Ice is Thawing
Father Christmas may have to move his"workshop"from the North Pole because global warming is thawing the ice beneath his feet and his reindeers'feet as well.His"workshop"is in dire straits.The"platform"for the "workshop"is melting,said Stefan Norris of the World Wildlife Fund environmental group's Arctic Program.
An eight-nation report by 250 scientists published recently predicted the Arctic Ocean could be ice-free in summer by 2100 because of a build-up of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere,mainly from burning fossil fuels in cars or factories.The North Pole is getting more and more uninhabitable to Father Christmas.______(46)Young people learn that Father Christmas'"workshop"produces millions of gifts delivered
by him on a flying,reindeer-drawn sleigh(雪橇).Hollywood movies like"The Polar Express" tried to make viewers believe that Father Christmas lives at the North Pole._____(47)
The"Fortress of Solitude"is near the North Pole that could be under threat in a warmer world.Alan Boldt, spokesman of the Danish Ministry of Science,suggested ways to rescue Father Christmas.______(48) Another alternative,he argued,would be building some electrical facilities to ensure the ice stays on the North
Pole for him."This should be a subject for the United Nations,"he said."Denmark could build windmills to provide Father Christmas with power."Denmark says Father Christmas'real home is Greenland,which will help, Denmark thinks,to strengthen its position in claiming the sovereignty over the Pole.______(49) "Doesn't he already speak Danish?"Boldt said frostily when asked if Father Christmas would be forced to learn Danish if Denmark won international recognition of its claim to the Pole.Last month's Arctic report said the region is warming twice as fast as the rest of the globe,partly because dark ground or water,once uncovered,soaks up more heat than ice or snow.Finland has been most favored by Father Christmas and it has about 500,000 tourists a year to visit its Christmas center in Rovaniemi in Lapland.______(50)
选项
______(46)A:However,Nordic nations all reject it by claiming that their countries are his home.B:Therefore the North Pole is the most attractive place in the world.C:If Denmark's claim were accepted internationally,it would have the legal right to search for oil and gas at the North Pole.D:One of them would be building a giant floating ice rink for the workshop if the Pole thaws.E:Maybe Father Christmas has already moved to Rovaniemi.F:He may have to move from the North Pole within our children's lifetimes.
答案
F
解析
空格前一句表明,北极越来越不适合圣诞老人居住了。F项表明圣诞老人或许不得不搬离北极,与之联系最为紧密,且与空格后句子内容相照应。 空格前一句说,好莱坞电影,如《极地快车》,想让观众相信圣诞老人住在北极。选项A则表明,然而北欧国家不同意这种说法,都声称自己的国家才是圣诞老人的故乡。意思正好和上文配得上。 空格前一句说,丹麦科学部发言人提出拯救圣诞老人的几个办法。空格后“Anotheralternative …”表明这讲的是另一种拯救圣诞老人的方法,由此可知,空格处应为拯救圣诞老人的一种方法。选项D符合这个要求。选项D说的就是其中一个办法:如果北极的冰融化,就建造一个浮冰场地,上面可以承载圣诞老人的工场。因此可以确定D项是正确答案。 选项C的句子一开始就用“Denmark's ciaim”重复空格前面一句中的“claiming",从词汇重复上,我们可以判断,填人空格处的句子应该是选项C的句子。我们再从意思上分析一下,丹麦认为,说圣诞老人的故乡是格陵兰岛有助于巩固丹麦声称的自己拥有北极的主权的地位。选项C说,如果丹麦的这一要求得到国际社会认可的话,它就拥有勘测北极的石油和天然气的合法权利。上下文意思是连贯的,所以C项是正确答案。 空格前一句说:" … its Christmas center in Rovaniemi in Lapland.”当看到选项E中重复出现Rovaniemi,就可猜测空格处可能应填选项E的句子。再看意思,前一句说,圣诞老人如此眷顾芬兰,每年约有50万游客来参观Rovaniemi的圣诞中心。选项E的句子说“Maybe FatherChristmas has already moved to Rovaniemi(说不定圣诞老人已经移居Rovaniemi了)",是对前一句“眷顾”的颇为风趣的总结。
