答案与题解:
1. B 固定搭配 put the blame for ... ,表示把归咎于,所以 put 为正确答案。
2. A 介词搭配,文中the worlds temperatures前需要补充一个介词,表达在全球范围内气温的上升,因此应该在 A 和 B 之间选择。而 at 后面只可以眼某个小地点,根据文意,只有 in 才是正确答案。
3. D 联系上下文,根据句意,显然作者要表达的是以往任何时候,因此选用 ever。其他三项均不符合句意。
4. C 固定搭配 at risk ,表达濒临危险,处境危险。
5. D 习惯用法 according to sb. 表示据某某所说,显然选择 D。
6. A 根据句意,作者要举例子,习惯用法即为 such as ... ,因此选 A。
7. B 根据句意,作者举例子是按照递进的顺序,从飓风、干早到排在后面的是更加严重的问题。strict 表示严格的,strong 表示强烈的,heavy 表示沉重的,巨大的,只有 severe 表示严峻的,严重的,因此 B 是正确答案。
8. C 根据句意,导致世界各地的海平面上升,所以在 A 和 C 之间选择。raise 表示举起,抬起,唤起,有主动意味,rise 表示客观的上升,因此是正确答案。
9. B 联系上下文,根据句意,根据选项,很容易理解是给政府施加压力,显然 pressure 最为恰当。
10. A 根据句意,减少二氧化碳的排放量,二氧化碳是不可数名词,因此 amount 是正确答案。
11. A 固定搭配,give off 表示排放等,文中表达的是排放二氧化碳气体,显然选 A。而 give away 表示泄露,分发 ,give up 表示放弃 ,give over 表示停止,交出。
12. C 固定搭配 in favour of ... ,表示支持,赞成,所以选 C。
13. D 根据句意,作者表达的是发电站,为固定词组 power station。
14. D 联系上下文,上文说的是很多科学家的想法,下文转而言另外还有一些科学家的想法,有转折之意,且空格在两句未完的话之间,因此惯用法选择 however。
15. A 根据句意,还需要等几百年,several 表示几个,符合句意。其他三个选项均不合适。
