Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2022·皖南八校其次次联考)
We sometimes think global warming or climate change is a problem very far away from our lives, and that only the government needs to worry about it. But it's hardly possible to completely stay out of it—scientists are now 95 percent sure that humans have been the “dominant cause” of global warming trends since the 1950s.
One of the conclusions of a report released on Sept 27 by the United Nations says that human activities have caused global temperatures to rise by 0.89℃ between 1901 and 2022. That might not seem like a lot, but the truth is that a major part of that heat has been absorbed into the oceans, which is not surprising given that they cover two thirds of Earth's surface. Also, water has a much greater capacity (容量) to absorb heat than the air does, according to The Economist.
While many greenhouse gases occur naturally and are needed to keep the Earth warm enough to support life, humans' use of fossil fuels is the main source of excess (多余的) greenhouse gases. According to CNN, by driving cars, using electricity produced by burning coal and oil or heating our homes with coal or natural gas, we release a large amount of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
Your body can barely feel a difference of 0.89℃， but the Earth's ecosystems are so sensitive that even small changes can disturb them. It often starts with the smallest creatures at the bottom of the food chain, eventually affecting bigger animals, many of which could end up becoming extinct.
Global warming is also linked to an increase in extreme weather. A larger amount of carbon dioxide traps more energy inside the atmosphere. This changes the patterns of storms and rainfall in many regions and can lead to droughts and floods. Worse still, melting sea ice in warmer oceans is causing sea levels to rise at a speed of more than three millimeters per year, according to The Guardian, which also increases the risk of flooding.
“The report should serve as another wake­up call that our activities today have a profound impact on society, not only for us, but for many generations to come，” French Michel Jarraud, secretary­general of the World Meteorological Organization, said at a news conference.
文章大意：全球变暖不是只有政府才关怀的事，它与我们每个人都息息相关。
1．The underlined word “dominant” in the first paragraph means “ ________”．
A．common　　　　 　　 B．indirect
C．secondary D．leading
答案：D　猜想词义题。画线词所在句意：现在科学家可以95%确定人类是20世纪50年月以来全球变暖的主要缘由。所以画线词意为“主要的”。
2．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Greenhouse gases have been proven to harm merely the Earth.
B．There is little we can do to prevent global warming.
C．Global warming can increase the chances of droughts and floods.
D．The hugeness of oceans makes them better absorbers of heat than the air.
答案：C　细节理解题。由第五段第三句话“This changes the patterns of storms and rainfall in many regions and can lead to droughts and floods.”可知，C项正确。
3．The rise in global temperatures between 1901 and 2022 ______.
A．is more harmful to smaller creatures than bigger ones
B．is not serious because most of the extra heat has been absorbed by the oceans
C．has made the Earth's ecosystems more sensitive to changes
D．is likely to cause many species to become extinct
答案：D　细节理解题。由第四段最终一句话“It often starts with the smallest creatures at the bottom of the food chain, eventually affecting bigger animals, many of which could end up becoming extinct.”可知，D项正确。
4．What is Michel Jarraud's attitude toward the report released by the UN?
A．Negative. B．Supportive.
C．Doubtful. D．Uninterested.
答案：B　推理推断题。由最终一段他所说的话“The report should serve as another wake­up call that our activities today have a profound impact on society, not only for us, but for many generations to come”可推知，他认为联合国的报告对我们有提示作用，所以是支持该报告的。
Ⅱ.完形填空
(2022·南京市、盐城市二模)
Mark Twain said that “habit is habit, and not to be flung(扔) out the window by anyone, but coaxed(劝诱) downstairs a step at a time.” The chances of successfully changing negative behavior __1__ when you make gradual changes that give you time to __2__ negative patterns for positive ones.
On any given day, countless numbers of us get out of bed and __3__ to begin to change a given behavior “today”. Whether it be exercising more, drinking less, managing time __4__ or some other change in a negative behavior, we start out with high __5__. In a short time, however, a vast majority of people fail and are soon doing __6__ it was they thought they shouldn't be doing.
After considerable research, some researchers believe that behavior changes usually do not __7__ if they start with the change itself. __8__， they believe that we must __9__ a series of “stages” to adequately prepare ourselves for that __10__ change. Once you have analyzed all the factors that __11__ what you do, you must decide which behavior­change technique will work best for you.
According to the psychologist Albert Ellis, most __12__ problems and related behaviors arise from irrational(不理性的) statements that people make to __13__ when events in their lives are different from what they would like them to be. For example, suppose after doing __14__ on an exam, you say to yourself，“I can't believe I failed that easy exam. I'm so stupid.” By changing this irrational “catastrophic” self­talk into rational, __15__ statements about what is really going on, you can increase the __16__ that positive behaviors will occur.
Positive self­talk might be __17__ as follows: “I really didn't study enough for the exam. I just need to prepare for the next __18__.”
Such self­talk will help you to recover quickly from __19__ and take positive steps to correct the situation. Some other technique like purposefully __20__ or stopping negative thoughts and refusing to dwell on(沉湎于) negative images can also spare you wasted energy, time and emotional resources and move on to positive changes.

文章大意：本文是一篇情景对话，争辩了工厂污染环境的问题。
答案：
1．It/That　考查代词。此处指上句话提到的这家工厂严峻污染空气，故可以填It/That，指代上文毁灭的名词。留意首字母要大写。
2．owners　考查名词。依据句子结构和句意可知，此处是“仆人”的意思；同时依据题干中谓语动词“have promised”可知，应当用复数，故填owners。
3．a　考查冠词。依据句意可知，此处是表示“一种”的意思。故填a。
4．before　考查连词。依据题干结构可知，此处需要用连词来连接两句话，同时依据空格前后句意可知，所缺词意为“在……之前”。故填before。
5．harmful　考查形容词。依据题干结构可知，所填词应是形容词，故填harmful。be harmful to意为“对……有害”。
6．pouring　考查非谓语动词。依据题干中“with”可知，所填词在句中作宾补，而且与宾语之间是主动关系，强调动作正在发生。故填pouring。
7．has been polluted　考查动词的时态和语态。依据题干大意可知，此处指被动，而且强调对现在的影响。故填has been polluted。
