___52___. Venice, a historic city in Italy best known for its canals, has sunk about 24 cm over the past 100 years. Experts say that it will have sunk another 20-50cm by 2050. A century ago, St. Mark’s Square, the lowest point in the city, floodedd about nine times a year, Nowadays, it happens more than 100 times.

答案

小题1:C
小题2:D
小题3:A
小题4:E
小题5:B
解析

小题1:C 根据本段前面内容可知这个国家面临着巨大的威胁,如果没有救助,灭亡之日不远了。
小题2:D 根据下文提及的威尼斯在过去的100年当中也下沉了很多,说明Tuvalu不是唯一面临危险的国家。
小题3:A 本段接下来的内容都是讲述的全球变暖的问题,故A正确。
小题4:E 根据上文提及如果全球变暖不停止,将会有更大的气候变化,后面接着就应该讲述其中的一个变化,而海平面上升正是其中之一。
小题5:B 接着上一句,如果海平面上升了一米,海水将会吞没很多地方。那么这是一个虚拟语气,且是与将来相反的虚拟语气,省略了if,句子用倒装的形式。

It has been years since the Chinese get plastic bags from supermarkets for free. China has banned free plastic bags at shops and supermarkets, but people have to pay for them. The Chinese once used about 300 million of plastic shopping bags a day, which has caused environmentally pollution because plastic bags are not easy to break down.

阅读下列应用文及相关信息,并按照要求匹配信息。
首先请阅读下列人们在工作和生活中出现的一些身体不适症状:
A. How much sleep you need
Sleep cycles & stages, lack of sleep.
Getting the hours you need to sleep consist of a series of distinct cycles and stages that restore and refresh your body and mind.
Even minimal sleep loss takes a toll on your mood, energy, efficiency and ability to handle stress.
B. Panic attacks and panic disorder
A panic attack is a sudden surge of overwhelming anxiety and fear. Left untreated, panic attacks can lead to panic disorder and other problems. They may even cause you to withdraw from normal activities. But panic is treatable and the sooner you seek helps, the better.
C. How to stop worrying
Continuous doubts and fears are paralyzing, not motivating or productive. Worrying can be, when it spurs you to take action, helpful to solve a problem. You need self-help strategies for anxiety relief.
D. Generalizes anxiety disorder
Everyone gets worried sometimes, but if you have a generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), worries and fears are so constant that they interfere with your ability to function and relax..
E. What you need to know about anti-anxiety drugs
Under guidance from a health professional, medication can relieve some of the symptoms of anxiety, but it requires non-drug treatments to produce lasting changes and continuing relief from anxiety. Medication doesn’t cure the underlying problem and is usually not a long-term solution. Anxiety medications also come with side effects and safety concerns, including the risk of addiction..
F. Understanding stress
Modern life is full of hassles, deadlines, frustrations, and demands. For many people, stress is so commonplace that it has become a way of life. Stress isn’t always bad. In small doses, it can help you perform under pressure and motivate you to do your best. But when you’re constantly running in emergency mode, your mind and body pay the price.
