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"plat-
form"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.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,woald 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."Danmark could build windmills to pro-
vide 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 un-
covered,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46前面两个句子讲的是,受全球气候变暖的影响,北极的冰正在融化,估计到2100 年夏天北极将成为无冰的世界。北极越来越不适合圣诞老人居住了。在这种情况下,圣诞老 人该怎么办呢?选项F说," He may have to move from the North Pole within our children ' s life- times",其意思与上文配合得天衣无缝,北极住不下去了,只能移居他处。因此F是正确答案。 空47前面一句说,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说," However , Nordic nations all reject it by claiming that their countries are his home(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48前面一句说,丹麦科学部发言人提出拯救圣诞老人的几个办法。空48的内容应 该涉及具体的拯救办法。选项D符合这个要求。D说其中一个办法是:如果北极的冰融化,就 人工造个浮冰场地,上面可以承载圣诞老人的工场。从上下文意思的连接上,从one of them (指代前一句的ways)的用词上,都可以确定D是正确答案。 选项C的句子一开始就用“Denmark's claim”重复空49前面一句中的“claiming",从词 汇重复上,我们可以判断,填人空49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加强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是正确答案。 空50前面一句说:" 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.”当看到选项E中重 复出现Rovaniemi,就可猜测空50的位置上可能填选项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50万游客来参观罗瓦涅米的圣诞中心。E的句子说“MaybeFather Christmas has already moved to Rovaniemi(说不定圣诞老人已经移居罗瓦涅米了)",是 对前一句“眷顾”的颇为风趣的总结。选项E是本题的答案。
