46.Aitisunfairtothoseclimate-venerablenations.

細(xì)節(jié)題，題目定位詞除了Parisclimateagreement之外還有一

個(gè)重點(diǎn)定位詞critical,問(wèn)為什么對(duì)此協(xié)議是批判態(tài)度，在文中并

不是很明確找到。段交代這項(xiàng)協(xié)議的詳細(xì)時(shí)間內(nèi)容等，其次段才談到

的批判態(tài)度。即werevealjusthowdeepthisinjusticeruns,

認(rèn)為這是不公的，thisinjustice指代前兩句，遭受氣候損害的國(guó)

家（少數(shù)4%國(guó)家）卻擔(dān)當(dāng)一大半全球溫室氣體排放的責(zé)任，這是不公

的。injustice=unfair

47.CTheyhardlypayanythingfortheproblemtheyhave

caused

細(xì)節(jié)題。定位詞"free-riders",這個(gè)詞在第三段，冒號(hào)后解

釋說(shuō)，通過(guò)大量溫室氣體排造成嚴(yán)峻問(wèn)題，同時(shí)卻不用擔(dān)當(dāng)氣候變化

的代價(jià)。Inotherwords后面的句子也在解釋同一件事情。原文消

失cost和problem在正確答案中以pay和problem復(fù)現(xiàn).

48.CTheyhavetobearconsequencestheyarenot

細(xì)節(jié)題，定位詞forced-riders和second-handsmokers,

定位在第四段，whoaresufferingfromclimateimpactsdespite

havingscarcelycontributedtotheproblem.這些forced-riders

沒(méi)有助長(zhǎng)全球變暖這個(gè)問(wèn)題但卻要擔(dān)當(dāng)氣候問(wèn)題的不良后果。答案為

近義詞替換：bearconsequences=sufferfromimpacts,benot

49.BThereisnofinalagreementonwhereitwi11comefrom

細(xì)節(jié)題，定位詞"100billion",定位到第7段，該段消失核

心考點(diǎn)“however”，說(shuō)明整個(gè)段落對(duì)這筆資金的使用是轉(zhuǎn)折后的評(píng)

價(jià)，即負(fù)評(píng)價(jià)。答案應(yīng)當(dāng)選擇B或C兩個(gè)包含負(fù)評(píng)價(jià)的詞之一（均消

失no）o其中BThereisnofinalagreementonwhereitwillcome

探討資金來(lái)源而非資金花費(fèi)的方式。

50.Dputtingineffectthepoliciesintheagreementat

細(xì)節(jié)題，定位詞urgentaction對(duì)應(yīng)第8段（倒數(shù)其次段），there
