答案　

[语篇解读]　本文为议论文,题材为环境问题类。

话题为“老问题,新方法”——适应我们所面临的严峻的气候环境,而且要意识到环境的改变和适应环境是一个过程。

1.A　语义猜测题。

根据第二段主题句Whenitcomestoadaptation,itisimportanttounderstandthatclimatechangeisaprocess.可知气候的改变是一个不断变化的过程。

再结合后面几段给出的事例可知,适应也是一个不断变化的过程,由此可推断出画线部分意为adaptationisanever-changingprocess,故答案为A项。

2.C　推理判断题。

根据第三段第三句MohammedRezwansawopportunitywhereotherssawonlydisaster.及后面的描述可知他的非营利组织在充分利用糟糕的环境,故正确答案为C项。

本题干扰项为D项,由第三段第五句Rezwaniscreatingfloatingconnectivitytoreplacefloodedroadsandhighways.可知D项错误。

3.A　细节理解题。

根据第四段第六句Hedirectedthewastedwaterintoshallowbasinswhereitfroze,andwasstoreduntilthespring.可知A项正确。

4.D　推理判断题。

根据第六段首句InPeru,localfarmersaroundamountainwithaglacierthathasalreadyfallenvictimtoclimatechangehavebegunpaintingtheentiremountainpeakwhiteinthehopethattheaddedreflectivenesswillrestorethelife-givingice.可推断出答案为D。

5.D　观点态度题。

根据倒数第二段中的Whenthepollutingindustriesarguethatwe’velostthebattletocontrolcarbonpollutionandhavenochoicebuttoadapt,it’sanonsensedesignedtomakethecaseforbusinessasusual.可推知D项为正确答案。

6.B　推理判断题。

根据最后一段第二句Butthemostsensibleformofadaptationissurelytoadaptourenergysystemstoemitlesscarbonpollution.可知最明智的适应应该是改变我们的能量体系以减少碳排放污染,故B项正确。
