问题 选择题

China’s population is expected to increase to about 1.5 billion in 2040, _____ it will start to decline slowly.

A.where

B.which

C.after which

D.on which

答案

答案:C

题目分析:情景对话 句意为:中国的人口有望在2014年增长到15亿左右。此后,人口增长速度将会减慢

定语从句可分为限制性和非限制性定语从句。此题显然属于非限制性定语从句,关系词的选择就成为关键。介词+which或whom=关系副词 从功能上将,A,C,D归为一类,B为第二类。又从句中缺状语,故排除B选项。讲第一类细分,C和D在功能上一致,相当于when,不过意义上有区别。B选项充当地点状语。根据句意,可排除B。C和D的区别在介词上,确定介词的方式就是和前面的名词(现行词)进行搭配。以此题为例,after which 在2040之后,on which 在2040这一年,显然C符合题意

点评:此题主要考察考生对定语从句关系词的掌握程度和熟练情况,此类型题,考生应该将选择枝做出对比,按关联性原则将选项归类,详见解析。

写作题

任务写作。

阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150字左右的英语短文。

     The southwest of Australia has been named as one of 25 "hot spots" for future species extinction because

of global warming. A new study says global warming will become a top cause of extinction across the world,

with thousands of species of plants and animals likely to be wiped out in the coming decades.

     According to the study, global warming ranks among the most serious threats to the planet's biodiversity

and, under some conditions, may be more than that due to deforestation, this study provides even stronger

scientific evidence that global warming will result in catastrophic species losses across the planet. Last month,

a U.N. study said humans were responsible for the worst extinction and urged extra efforts to reach a U.N.

target of slowing the rate of losses by 2010.

     Scientists disagree about how far global warming is to blame compared with other human threats such as

deforestation, pollution and the introduction of some species to new habitats. But the new study looks at the

25 "hot spots"-areas that contain a big concentration of plants and animals - and predicts that 11.6 percent of

all species, with a range from 1 to 43 percent, could be driven to extinction if levels of heat trapping gases in

the atmosphere were to keep rising in the next 100 years. 

     写作内容 1. 概括短文的内容要点,该部分的词数大约为30字; 

                     2. 以“Globe Warming Threatening Our Planet”为题,谈谈全球变暖对环境的影响。

                            至少包含以下内容要点,该部分词数大约为120。

                     A. 全球变暖的主要原因;

                     B. 全球变暖的危害;

                     C. 谈谈如何解决该问题。

     写作要求:你可以使用实例或其它论述方法支持你的论点,也可以参照阅读材料的内容,但不

要抄袭阅读材料中的句子。
