D．Negative.解析：選A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段內(nèi)容可以看出，潘帕德莫坎的早期農(nóng)民并沒有抵抗厄爾尼諾現(xiàn)象，而是在它到來時(shí)準(zhǔn)備利用它。修建了諸如運(yùn)河、蓄水池等農(nóng)業(yè)設(shè)施，方法的確是有效的。因此推斷作者對于古代處理厄爾尼諾的方法是支持的。故選A。12．Whichofthefollowingcanbethebesttitleforthetext?A．SurvivingElNi?oB．LivingwithElNi?oC．FarminginDifferentTimesD．LearningfromHistory解析：選B標(biāo)題歸納題。本文第三、四、五段介紹了古代農(nóng)民是如何利用厄爾尼諾的，涉及了與厄爾尼諾共生存這一方面，并號(hào)召現(xiàn)代農(nóng)民向他們學(xué)習(xí)。故選B。Ⅱ.閱讀七選五Youmayseemanypeopleontheiryearlycampingtrips,goingintonaturetoseekaconnectionwithsomethinggreaterthanthemselves.Youmightbewondering—__1__？Herearesomesimplebutwonderfulwaystohelpyouconnectwithnature.SlowdownandbepresentProbablythemostimportantthingtorememberistolearnhowtoslowdownandbetrulypresentwiththenaturalworld.__2__andforgeteverythingthatisn'thereinthepresentmoment.Youcanfocus100%ofyourenergyonthebirds,plants,treesandanimalsinyoursurroundings.__3__Anotherbigsecrettofeelingintouchwithnatureistolearnhowtoconsciously(有意識(shí)地)useyourfivesenses.Ifyoueverfindyourselfstrugglingtoreachapeacefulexperienceinnature,it'sprobablybecauseyourfivesensesarenotfullyused.Sowhenyoustepoutside,alwaysstartbygivingyourselfafewminutestoconsciouslyusesomeofyoursenses.__4__.Watchyourlocalanimals__5__.Animalshaveanaturalappealbecausethey'reliving,breathing,activeformsofintelligence.They'recute,funny,emotionalandentertaining,sothisisagreatnextsteptoexplore.A．LearnsomeplantsB．GetintoyoursensesC．TakeafewdeepbreathsD．HowdoyouactuallydoitE．HowarethesethingsallconnectedF．ConnectingwithanimalsisoneofthegreatjoysG．Forexample,trytolistenmoredeeplythanbefore語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了三種走進(jìn)大自然并享受大自然之美的方法。1．選D根據(jù)上文可知，本段講述的是人類走進(jìn)大自然的事情，同時(shí)，后文介紹的是一些能夠與大自然聯(lián)系起來的方法。D項(xiàng)“你要如何才能真正地做到它？”中的“it”指代上文提到的“走進(jìn)大自然去尋找與比自己更偉大的事物之間的聯(lián)系”，且能夠引起下文對走進(jìn)自然的方法的介紹。2．選C根據(jù)段落主旨句“Slowdownandbepresent”可知，本段介紹的是要想走進(jìn)大自然，要學(xué)會(huì)放慢腳步，享受當(dāng)下。根據(jù)后文“andforgeteverythingthatisn'thereinthepresentmoment”可知，后文介紹的是如何才能讓自己享受當(dāng)下。C項(xiàng)“做幾次深呼吸”符合段落主題，與and后面內(nèi)容為并列關(guān)系。3．選B空格處為段落主旨句。根據(jù)后文可知，本段介紹的是如何有意識(shí)地運(yùn)用你的五官去感受大自然。B項(xiàng)“進(jìn)入你的感覺官能”能夠概括本段內(nèi)容，選項(xiàng)中的“senses”與后文的“fivesenses”相呼應(yīng)。4．選G根據(jù)上文可知，本段介紹的是我們在大自然中要有意識(shí)地運(yùn)用感官。G項(xiàng)“例如，試著比以前更深入地傾聽”能夠承接上文，是一個(gè)如何運(yùn)用我們的感官來感受自然的例子。5．選F根據(jù)段落主旨句“Watchyourlocalanimals”可知，本段介紹的是要想走進(jìn)大自然，可以觀察你當(dāng)?shù)氐膭?dòng)物。F項(xiàng)“與動(dòng)物接觸是一種極大的樂趣”符合段落主題，且能引起下文。Ⅲ.完形填空Itwasthefirstnightofatiringsevenday250kmraceacrosstheGobiDesertayearago.MrLeonard__1__alittledoggoingaroundhiscamptryingto__2__herself.“Cute,butI'mnotgivingyouany，”Leonardthought.Likeall__3__，hehadpackedjustenoughforthewhole__4__.He'dbeenrunningpetitivelyforthreeyears,andhehada__5__towin.Thenextday,atthestartingline,thedog__6__himagain.Hewavedheraway,__7__shemightbesteppedonbytherunners.__8__，thedogfollowedhimallthewayuntiltheday'srace__9__.Thatnightthedogsnuggled(依偎)uptoLeonardandevenmanagedtogetfoodfromhim.Bythen,hewasdeterminedto__10__herGobi.Thepairwentontofinishthesevendayrace,withGobi__11__adistanceof125kmonherown,andwinningLeonardover,enoughforhimtomakea__12__—hewouldtakeherhometoEdinburgh.“SeeingGobiontherace__13__myattitudetothings.Itmademethinkmoreaboutstoppingandhelpingher,__14__justfocusingonwinning，”saidLeonard,whofinishedsecond.“Italsomademyrunningmore__15__，givingmealotofpleasure.”語篇解讀：來自愛丁堡的Leonard參加戈壁沙漠越野賽跑時(shí)，一只小狗陪伴他完成比賽，Leonard感動(dòng)之余決定將它帶回家。1．A.treated B．spottedC．a(chǎn)dopted D．recognized解析：選B根據(jù)下文中的“Cute,butI'mnotgivingyouany”可知，Leonard發(fā)現(xiàn)一只小狗在他的營地附近轉(zhuǎn)來轉(zhuǎn)去。spot“發(fā)現(xiàn)”，符合語境。2．A.feed B．waterC．entertain D．a(chǎn)cmodate解析：選A根據(jù)下文中的“Cute,butI'mnotgivingyouany”和“getfoodfromhim”可知，小狗是在找東西吃。feed“給……食物”，符合語境。water“給……水喝，飲”；entertain“使快樂”；acmodate“為……提供住宿，給……提供方便”。3．A.hikers B．climbersC．explorers D．petitors解析：選D根據(jù)上文中的“atiringsevenday250kmrace”及下文中的“runners”可知，和所有的參賽者一樣，Leonard只裝了足夠完成整個(gè)比賽過程的東西。petitor“參賽者”，符合語境。4．A.plan B．courseC．day D．camp解析：選B參見上題解析。course“過程”，符合語境。5．A.desire B．chanceC．right D．tendency解析：選A根據(jù)下文中的“justfocusingonwinning”可知，他非常想贏。desire“愿望，渴望”，符合語境。6．A.bothered B．stoppedC．a(chǎn)pproached D．weled解析：選C根據(jù)下文中的“wavedheraway”可知，第二天，在起跑線處，這只狗又向Leonard靠近。approach“靠近，接近”，符合語境。bother“打擾，使煩惱”；wele“歡迎”。7．A.confused B．a(chǎn)stonishedC．a(chǎn)shamed D．worried解析
