It started in Sweden, where the term \\
1.The creation of the term \\(B)
A. Sweden’s emphasis on the development of the aviation industry.
B. growing worries about the environmental impacts of air travels.
C. travelers’ widespread fear of experiencing serious air crashes.
D. wealthy countries’ determination to curb the emissions of planes.
解析:细节题。根据题干关键词“flight shame’’定位到第一段第一句。B项是对文中第一段第一句中the unease about flying experienced by environmentally conscious travelers (具有环保意识的旅客对于乘飞机出行的忧虑不安)的同义替换。故本题选B。A项根据第一段第一句中Sweden和night设置干扰,但原文意在指出“以飞为耻”起源于瑞典,并未提及瑞典重视航空业发展,且这也并非创造“以飞为耻”一词所要表明的内容;C项根据第一段第一句中the unease about flying experienced by environmentally conscious travelers(具有环保意识的旅客对于乘飞机出行的忧虑不安)设置干扰,但原文并未提及旅行者们对于严重空难的普遍恐慌,且这也同样并非创造“以飞为耻”一词所要表明的内容;D项根据第一段第二句中wealthy countries设置干扰,但原文并未提及富裕国家对限制飞机排放的决心,和题干创造“以飞为耻”一词所要表明的内容无关。
2.In Paragraph 3, natural disasters are mentioned to illustrate________.(B)
A. the purpose of detecting degree of disasters.
B. the necessity of decreasing carbon emissions.
C. the danger of the hot spot in the Pacific Ocean.
D. the difficulty of saving endangered species.
解析:例证题。根据题干关键词Paragraph 3和natural disasters定位到第三段第二句。该句提到澳大利亚丛林大火和太平洋上100多万只海鸟死亡的自然灾害事件,并说明这些事件是危险升级的证据(Evidence of the growing danger),解答例证题需要看例子的上文。第一句末尾提到it is increasingly difficult to understand why any rational person would not be behind all and any measures designed to reduce carbon emissions (更难以理解为什么一个理智的人会不愿意支持任意一种能够减少碳排放的措施),由此可推出,第三段提及自然灾害是为了强调亟需采取措施减少碳排放,B项为合理推断。故本题选B。A项根据第三段第一句中on record和第二句中growing danger设置干扰,但原文第一句意在说明地表温度是有记录以来第二高,海洋温度是有记录以来最高,第二句意在说明自然灾害正加剧,亟需采取措施减少碳排放,并未提及检测自然灾害等级;C项根据第三段第二句中hot spot和Pacitic Ocean设置干扰,原文虽提及太平洋上海洋热浪的危险性,但这是例子本身的信息,并非作者引用自然灾害的例子所要说明的论点,该项为答非所问;D项根据第三段第二句中seabirds设置干扰,但第二句提到太平洋上海鸟因海洋热浪大量死亡的现象,意在说明气候变暖威胁生物生存,并未提及拯救濒危物种的困难,该项为无中生有。
3.The author’s attitude towards Matt Hancock’s remarks is one of________.(C)
A. satisfaction.
B. indifference.
C. disapproval.
D. respect.
解析:态度题。作者对Matt Hancock言论的看法在第二至四段中均有体现:第二段中作者提到包括Matt Hancock在内的政府官员未能接受“以飞为耻”这一理念,这着实令人担忧;第三段提到很难理解一个理智的人会拒绝减少碳排放这一提议;第四段末句作者直接说明Mr Hancock’s comment that…could be dismissed as naive if it was not so irresponsible (汉考克提出的……的意见不仅无知,还很不负责任,可不予考虑),由此可知,作者不赞同汉考克的观点。故本题选C。A、D两项的感情色彩积极正向,不符合文意;分析文章可知,作者明确表明了不赞同马特.汉考克观点,并非漠不关心,故B项错误。
4.According to Paragraph 5, the aviation industry is expected to________.(D)
A. become actively involved in lowering emissions.
B. use advanced technology to keep costs low.
C. prepare for side-effects brought by electric flight.
D. account for a larger proportion of carbon emissions.
解析:细节题。根据题干关键词Paragraph 5和the aviation industry定位到第五段第二句。该句指出Projections of future emissions consistently expect aviation to be responsible for an increasing share of the total(对未来碳排放的推测一致认为,航空业的碳排放量
